I don't plan on going back on the pill either. I was on it for about 5 years. I was lucky to fall pregnant almost immediately after going off but it ended in m/c unfortunately. I got what I thought was my AF but it had to be implantation bleeding as it only lasted not even a day. I waited wellover a month before testing because I missed a period in May because I was so stressed out over my Aunts death...so my Grandmother was just after dying and I thought it was stress delaying my AF again.

Workwise, I am a teacher. I teach Junior/Senior high in my hometown....a very small, rural place. I teach 10 students a number of different course. A k-12 school with a grand total of 19 students! We are very isolated...out motto is "Isolated and loving it!" I am off on Easter break now until the 16th... Once I get back I will be only 3 or 4 days from O so the wait won't seem as long this time.

We were not trying not preventing for over 2 years. Started basic cycle charting i November of last year. Pregnant in February-miscarriage in march.

Going all out TTC-ing now.

I have a crazy case of baby fever!!!!

Hey ladies

Dizzyblue - I don't blame you for having all out baby fever as you've been trying a while and it can get all consuming! What is ovacue? I've never heard of it before.

I did OPK's a couple of cycles but found them quite hard to read - I really liked charting my temp though as it seemed much more definite and I knew where I was. I also didn't end up testing all the time as if on 13 or 14dpo my temp dropped I knew I was out.

I am trying not to get straight into all that again this time - but I'm quite impatient so may have changed my mind in a few cycles time!

Jessica - I hope you're enjoying your easter break. My mum always said I should be a teacher for the good holidays but I don't have the patience!

How do all your OH's feel about ttc? Are they it'll happen when it happens types like mine or are they with you on the full blown baby fever?

The Ovacue is a device that measures your electrolytes.
You buy it with a mouth sensor and can also get a vaginal sensor. I have both. It pin points ovulation I think 7 days ahead of time and also confirms that you ovulated

I paid 222.00 used for mine ( the new model with color screen) and then paid 10 bucks to have it medically sterilized with medical grade chemicals.

I felt that this was a lot to pay. However not approved by the FDA for prevention it is commonly used for that. And I plan on using it to help me conceive and then for family planning. It really was the cheapest thing to do. No sticks or anything to buy just 1 purchase and years of family planning.

Fun Fact. In animals they have used a monitor based on the same principals as this one and it determined gender in the animal pregnancies at 106 out of 110 correctly. I'm gonna look at other peoples charts and see it there is a correlation between chart numbers and gender. They haven't really done a study on the Ovacue to see if it will. I assume its because people quit using it whilst in their pregnancy so the only data would be data from their 2WW not into the pregnancy in most cases

Wow - that sounds like a good piece of kit. I've never heard of anything like that in the UK and it sounds like a good option for family planning. I know lots of women in the UK use CBFM for a similar thing but they do need sticks buying to go with them.

Its a pretty nice piece of equipment. I like it a lot so far.

Hi everyone I'm ttc as well this is my 1st proper month of trying number 2! Very excited, lovely to chat to people trying as well at the same time! x

Hi foxie

It is exciting isn't it - I'm one day ahead of you and starting my first 2ww! I know realistically I won't conceive straightaway but there's always the bit of you that thinks it could happen!
Are you doing anything to track your fertility or are you just going with the flow? I'm trying to go with a relaxed approach as I got quite obsessed when TTC my daughter.

Ok have officially started my tww today! Eeek very excited! Not doing anything to monitor it have just gone online and done the ovulation calender to see when I ovulate and have noticed yesterday & today had a lot of cm (sorry if TMI). We dtd on 12th and 14th and not since due to hubby being away so now just sit back and relax....well poas loads really!! lol.

Trying to be chilled I fell fairly easily with my 1st but now we've decided it's time for another I want to be pregnant like yesterday! lol.

Yes I know chances are not great at 1st try but yes a part of me thinks that it will happen 1st time but what will be will be. It's great to see so many people all trying at same time so we can all be in it together! x

I have promised myself I won't test unless AF doesn't show at normal time but not sure if I'll actually stick to it!

With my daughter I had implantation spotting and just knew I was pregnant somehow - tested at 10 dpo and it was positive. I'd had a chemical the cycle before so carried on testing every day to check the line was getting darker - I did 3 digi tests too so a little bit addicted!

Good luck to us all!
