Thanks hun, I've not used Opk's yet as officially we're NTNP for the next couple of months. I might just have to give them a go though. I think I'm doing everything else possible to TTC really so might as well go the whole way and improve our chances.
What brand do you recommend? X

I just get the cheap ones off ebay, from fertilityplan, they work great for me.
Funny thing is we always seem to naturally BD around ov time anyway.. but it's still nice to know which are the key days! I usually ov 24-48 hours after my first positive.

Hi Ladies:

New to this site. This seems like a great bunch of ladies.

Star - we are almost twins. I too am 36 (about to be 37) and am ttc #2. I have a 13yo boy - a little older than a toddler LOL. Hubby nd I have been ttc since April of last year after I was dx'd with a missed miscarriage and had a D&C. We've had no luck since then - other than a chemical pregnancy the cycle in between the D&C and AF after it.

I don't get it - I really don't. How is it possible to get pregnant with no problems and then not at all? What is that about?

Anyway, greetings to you all. Look forward to great conversations!

Faith

Hi Fayben

I'm on CD13 today, I've had 2 days or so of ewcm so I should Ov in the next 2-3 days (I've been having 5 days of ewcm the last couple of months so I guess it will be about the same this month).

I'm thinking if I continue to BD every other day well after my Ov 'just in case' that might make the 2ww go quicker!

Hi Fayben, welcome to the forum

Although I'm new to this section I've been about on BnB since I was pregnant with my daughter and I love it

I think you'll find it a friendly place to hang out. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time TTC again. I really hope this is your cycle and lots of sticky baby dust to you

EverythingXd I think continuing to BD to take your mind off the 2WW is a good tactic

How are all you other ladies doing? x

Hi Faith! Welcome.
Sorry to hear you've been having trouble TTC number 2. It took me 7 months to get #1 but I was hoping it would be quicker this time but no luck so far and shorter cycles so probably my egg quality is declining...I thought 36 was old but not that old iykwim...

Maybe I'm past it already?!

All fine here, I'm on cd8 now so about 3/4days off ovulation. I using cbfm this cycle but missed a day of POAS yesterday as I slept in after a big night out. LO has been running me ragged round the garden all day, he literally does not stop...and when he has no more energy left for running after a ball, he wants me to carry him whilst I run after a ball...just wish he would sttn...at this rate me and DH won't have any energy left! DH is up for it this cycle though, jan 2013 bean would be great. Here's hoping! Xx

Thanks Ladies for the warm welcome!

starlight2801 · Apr 2nd, 2012, 17:22 PM

Fingers crossed you and DH can find an energy reserve from somewhere Captain

I'm feeling a bit deflated tonight. My poor LO has been poorly today with what seems to be a nasty vomitting bug

I'm not yet using Opk's but I think I've had O cramps tonight but not feeling particularly up for DTD after a day of cleaning up sick and worrying about my daughter (it makes me do sad when shes not well). My DH is engrossed in an online computer game anyway so I guess I just have to hope that I'm either off the mark and yet to O in the next couple of days or that we've already done enough.
Fingers crossed for a good outcome either way but not feeling confident...

dan-o · Apr 3rd, 2012, 03:11 AM

Good luck to you ladies about to ov!!

Approx 8dpo here & not feeling particularly hopeful as I've not had any cramps or symptoms to suggest any implantation going on.
Hoping my LP improves again this month, AF came at 10 dpo last month
