Britt11 - Sorry got you.

Squirregirl and Shorty - I hope you're both having fun!

Springflower - I'm very excited for you and can't wait to see how it goes in July!

Lucky - Congrats on the O (you too Squirrelgirl)!

Parkgirl - Have a fun night in with the dog! One of my dogs turns 15 tomorrow!

I'm getting ready to go out soon as well. Still showing high fertility on CD 10. Hopefully I O soon. Unfortunately I'm not home Monday night which could be a problem

Britt. Good luck with the next cycle!!!!

I had a very fun day! Now just relaxing and catching up with my BnB girls!


Hope you get your Peak very soon too!

Got a big night out with the girlies tonight so guess i better start trying to decide what to wear - i have only got 8 hours until we leave!!

Hope everyone is having/has a lovely weekend and lots of BD'ing for those of you ovulating - and of course those of us that are just doing it anyway!!

-x-x-

Hope you had fun with the girls! I love a girls night out. My three besties and me have all been friends since we were 14 years old..love them heaps. One of them lives in Australia and is six weeks away from giving birth to her first baby - we are all going over there to visit after the baby is born - can't wait!

I'm getting ready to head out for my fun girly day too! I can't remember which thread I posted it on, so apologies if I said this already! But I'm so excited!

First I'm getting my hair highlighted (figured I can't keep waiting while TTC), then lunch with some friends, then manicures and shopping, then we're going to see Sex and the City 2. Then to a friend's birthday party! What a way to kick off the TWW!

whoohoo , it will be a great day. I hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend and having as much fun as possible!

Hope you had fun too Squirrel! How was Sex In The City? Sounds like such a great day.

SquirrelGirl - Love your plans for today! I'm off to see SINTC tomorrow night, can't wait I'm a big fan!

LuckyD - You should get a CBFM, they're great and really easy to use! Must admit I use one and also sometimes use the OPks. Hope your job is going well!

Lots like a few of you are ovulating at the mo, good luck with the bd'ing!

Hey today we just for fun! Feel quite proud of myself

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend ladies


xxxx

Thanks! Job is going well, but I must say I am enjoying my weekend a lot! Hurrah for BDing just for fun - it's so funny how quickly sex can become just about babymaking - it's nice to have some just for fun moments as well! I need to remind myself of this at times....

Hey girls how are you?
Well no luck for me this cycle, got AF today- but we are seeing the FS on Monday which is great, so increased Clomid dose and IUI again this cycle- hopefully it will take!!
fx'd for the rest of you girls
if we are continuing the thread my next testing date would be July 2

Oh Britt, so sorry to hear that AF arrived Hope you are doing ok. That is great that you are seeing the FS on Monday - good luck love xx we will totally keep the thread going - not stopping til we all get our BFPs!! I will add you for July - and will keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Looks as if it's a big girls night out for a lot of you. I, on the other hand, will be spending the night at home with the dog. DH is out with the guys and my two best friends are out of town. DH and I did have a lovely afternoon together. Went out to lunch and watched a movie.

Hope you have a nice night with the dog! I quite like it when my DH goes out sometimes...nice to just chill and watch whatever movie I like and eat whatever I feel like. Hope you get some nice quality alone time!

Lucky - Congrats on the O (you too Squirrelgirl)!

I'm getting ready to go out soon as well. Still showing high fertility on CD 10. Hopefully I O soon. Unfortunately I'm not home Monday night which could be a problem

Thanks for the congrats! Good luck for Oing soon - sounds like it can't be too far away. Are you out all night Monday? Might have to wake up your OH when you get home.....


I have just been out with my OH, my Dad, his partner and my brother to look at possible houses to put on the land we have just bought. It's pouring down with rain so now am home and getting warm in front of the heater!

Got to keep the BDing up, hope that we last the distance after getting my real positive OPK two days after what I thought was my positive. It's been three days in a row and sometimes it starts getting a bit tricky keeping up the every day BD action.

Oh, house shopping. I loved looking for houses. Did you see anything you liked? I totally know what you mean about it being tricky to keep up with the every night . But, WOO HOO for the positive OPK!!!!! Now go catch that egg

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Good morning ladies! It is a BEAUTIFUL day here. We had some really bad storms come through last night, some tornadoes in the area and such. But it brought in some much cooler air, so we have all the windows open enjoying the breeze and sunshine.

Sex and the City 2 was entertaining. It wasn't the most fantastic movie ever, but if you liked the show and the first movie, it's worth seeing the second one.

I also love the days when my OH is off doing his own thing. I enjoy the quiet and not having to clean up after him constantly!!! It's like he doesn't even see the mess he makes, nor does he care! Amazing how opposites attract, ya know! I'm an extremely clean, orderly person, and my OH could care less and would only clean before his parents would visit if he could! We watched the movie "The Breakup" a couple nights ago, and it was amusing how close that was to some of our discussions!

Sounds like a fab day Squirrel. Im off to stay with my sister in Scotland next weekend, and we have a girlie day planned on the saturday ending up with dinner & going to see Sex in The City 2. Can't wait!

SquirrelGirl - Love your plans for today! I'm off to see SINTC tomorrow night, can't wait I'm a big fan!

Enjoy Springflower! And v pleased you start ICSI next month, most be so exciting. You'll need to tell us what its like. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Hey girls how are you?
Well no luck for me this cycle, got AF today

Britt so sorry hun

I totally know what you mean... but at least you have given it all you've got, hopefully had some fun while you were at it! Im intrigued that you found the soft cups so easy to use. Im almost tempted enough to purchase some. Almost....

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Thanks for all of your kind words this week girls, has really helped with the BFN. arrived yesterday and my god is she in full force. Really strange as it means that I had a spot on 14 days between O & AF. First time its ever happened as usually 11 or 12 days. Suppose that is a good thing at least!

Can you put me down to test Lucky on 5th July? Hopefully the June explosion will continue for a few days longer into July...

You also need to tell me what the written format is for that smiley face - so great going to add it to my signature too!

Yes, I declare that June Explosion month will be held over for all of July too!! It will be a full summer of BFP Explosions (or Winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere!! )

Unfortunately I have to work on Monday night so unless I can sneak DH in...
Very frustrated too. CD 11 today and my monitor still shows high and although I know you're not supposed to read the cbfm sticks the one I used this morning didn't show any line! I'm guessing something went wrong. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
House hunting is so much fun! Did you find anything?

Glad you didn't get hit. There's actually a tornado watch for us and I'm on the East Coast. Sounds like me and my DH are the exact opposite of you and your OH. I'm a complete mess! But trying to do better!

 

[LuckyD]

Oh, house shopping. I loved looking for houses. Did you see anything you liked? I totally know what you mean about it being tricky to keep up with the every night . But, WOO HOO for the positive OPK!!!!! Now go catch that egg

We may have some house options...we are looking at either moving a transportable house onto the land, or building something small - but our budget is VERY small, so we are having to be creative in what we do! But we have found some old houses we could move on and do up a bit, so thinking about that....
Yep, the every day BDing caught up with us this morning...had a lovely time but didn't quite 'finish' - it was the 5th day in a row today. It was fine, may try again later but dont' want to put too much pressure on my lovely OH!

Wow, glad you are safe from the tornadoes! We had storms here too last night, but just a bit of thunder and lightening - we don't get tornadoes here and I think I would be terrified!
Glad you enjoyed your girly day...I am going to see Sex In The City, but am really not expecting much...I liked the series, but was pretty disappointed by the first movie...I may be in the minority here, but I wish Carrie would just tell Big to f**k off! How much crap is she going to put up with?

Glad that you understand what I mean...it does get a little bit much after a while, but yes, this month we have really had fun - it's felt like less pressure, so that is really good. Softcups are really easy, I promise! I am yet to see if they make a difference, but they truly could not have been easier to use!

So sorry Waiting4Baby I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are doing. Sorry about stupid AF Hope you are ok. Great that you LP was 14 days though - that's perfect! Will put you down for 5th July now....and I think the June BFP Explosion is going to be so big that it will easily carry on to July - it's just going to keep on going until we are all knocked up! Take care love

Unfortunately I have to work on Monday night so unless I can sneak DH in...
Very frustrated too. CD 11 today and my monitor still shows high and although I know you're not supposed to read the cbfm sticks the one I used this morning didn't show any line! I'm guessing something went wrong. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
House hunting is so much fun! Did you find anything?

Sorry to hear about your CMFM frustration. I dont' know about the sticks sorry, but hope that tomorrow gives you a clearer picture of what is going on. What do you do that means you have to work Monday night? Can a Monday morning BD be fitted in? Good luck love! We may have found some house options..as I said above, we have a very limited budget so trying to be creative about it all!


Hope you are all having a lovely weekend - today is a public holiday - loving it! It's windy and rainy outside, but warm and cosy inside. I think I'm 1dpo today? Haven't felt any O pains or anything, but got my positive OPK two days ago, so guess O happened yesterday or will happen today. Who knows!

 

[maxxiandniko]

Good morning all! Very frustrated today. CD 12 and still high fertility. No lines at all on the test sticks though. It really felt like I O'd this weekend too! I was having left lower abdominal pain and was sure my monitor would show peak. I'm beginning to think that I either missed my O or it's not coming . Not feeling too good about this cycle and wishing now that it would pass quickly.

I hope that you did O. Were there like strange twinges on your left side?

I'd say more like cramping in my lower left abdomen. My cycles have been off so I never know for sure what to expect. Last cycle I O'd on CD 10 and had a cycle 21 days long.

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to pop in and say howdy : ) I love the june bfp explosion!!!

Are you testing just once a day? If you are, maybe it missed your peak. Last month I was using OPK and was testing with FMU. I figured I should be Oing but the tests said no. I tested in the afternoon and got a positive. The next morning I tested again and it was negative again.

I'm really not that informed on the use of using opks and CBFM, so just a guess.

The cbfm will only read one test a day and at a time that you decide on on CD 1. I test with my FMU. When I read the manuel it says that if you're showing high fertility for many days you could have missed your O. I'm being super-obsessive now and thinking negatively. Yuck! I hate feeling this way! I may just say I'm 1 dpo and give myself a testing date. Maybe that'll calm me down a bit.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Maxxi, is this your first month using it? (sorry, I couldn't keep track of who all just started). The first month or so, it sometimes can't tell when your peak is. But by the second and third month, it starts to learn your cycle.

Also, there are ladies that Never got a peak yet were able to get pg anyway. You might hop over to the CBFM thread for more info. All I know about it I learned from that thread!! They are awesome at helping!

This is my 2nd cycle using the monitor. Last time I went from low straight to peak on CD 10. I did go over to the cbfm thread finally so maybe I'll get some answers. And thanks for the postivity! I thought this monitor would help with my anxiety and all it did was make me super-neurotic !
