Hope everyone is having a good weekend

AF started yesterday. Thinking of buying some preseed and then keeping my fx'd for June!

Does taking prenatal vitamins help increase your chances? I've heard it mentioned many times before but how does that work?

 

[Mrs Doddy]

Sorry to hear af arrived yes I was thinking about the preseed too - pre natals dont increase chances just keep you healthy x

 

[wildchic]

Sorry af got you Itsychik

I would suggest using the pre-seed, its a wonderful lubricant
I used it last cycle and plan to use it again this cycle

Afm - I'm on cd14 and no + opk's or full ferning patterns on saliva microscope not sure when I will ovulate this time coz I'm not on the Clomid this cycle. Let's hope I dtd at the right times.

Fx for all of us for June

Anyone else here with no periods?

It's frustrating not knowing what's going on with your body :/

Hi babyjan

I was on the depo and my last shot was Oct 2011, although my period returned the December, I still never got pregnant. My sister, who was also on the depo stopped it at the beginning of last year and she only got her period last month(May 2013).
So I guess it affects women differently.
I know how frustrating it must be and I pray you get af soon. From what I've read is that if you don't get af, you're not ovulating.

Good Luck hun, I hope this journey of ttc is not a long one for you.

I dislike the assumption most doctors have, that once you have a child, you'll have no issues having another easily. That things don't change, or c-sections / post partum hemorrhage does not cause any long term issues. In my family all the others have had no issues what so ever, only 1 has had issues with blocked tubes, this led her to a tubal clean out, then on to IVF, first time troubles though. The others can look at a man and be pregnant in minutes (including my own mother in her youth).

Off to see our specialist shortly.

I'm not sure what's going on ths cycle, I normally have 27 day cycles with 12 LP, but now on cd 31 and no sign but had bad backache for nearly a week so maybe she is about to show. I had two lts of positive opk this month cd15 and cd 19 so going by latest date I should be due on today or tomorrow. Although at cycle was 37 days but I was Ill and didn't ovulate till cd25 because of that! I'm remaining positive and not going to test until Sunday if I can hold out! Being ttc no. 2 for 10 months and conceived no.1 in one month so wrongly assumed the same would happen again!

 

[wildchic]

Well today is cd15 and I think I'm ovulating as I had ewcm last night and again today. Dh and I tried dtd this morning, but because his not circumcised(sorry tmi) his foreskin tore
So now we won't be able to dtd

I'm so frustrated right now! I just feel like throwing in the towel and just not have baby #2(although I really want a baby)
WHY do we have to go through this? Its so unfair that we have to struggle like this and others get pregnant so quick
I really don't know how much more I can take, I just feel like crying!

Hope all you lovely ladies have better luck than me this cycle. Fx for you

 

[Clareabell]

wild chic. Have you dtd any time recently as you may still be within the fertile period. It's so disheartening having month on month of bfn's.

Oh no, his foreskin tore? That sounds awful! (My DH isn't circumcised either, but we haven't had that before). How long does it take to heal?

Last cycle I had EWCM starting almost 5 days before I actually ovulated (according to the OPK's) so there still might be time to catch the window

We dtd on cd11, 12 & 13. Not sure if it will be enough though. I was so hoping that everything will work out this cycle, but I was wrong

Dh says that we can maybe try tonight, but I can imagine how painful it will be and don't wanna put him through that, but he is also eager to have another baby. He wants a boy, I'll be happy with either.
It is indeed disheartening to get bfn's every month

It is awful! It takes a day or two to heal. This only started happening since we've been ttc, as it never happened before.
I'm also having a bit of twinges on both sides of my ovaries, but no + opk yet.

I suggested to dh that he deposits his swimmers into a soft cup and then insert it, but he doesn't like want to do that and suggested we try and dtd tonight. I hope he'll be ok down there though.

I'm feeling very sad this morning. Not sure exactly why. I feel like there is a hole in my heart because I want to be pregnant so bad. On Saturday DH made a joke about TTC taking so long and didn't even realize how much it hurt me and made me sad. I didn't yell at him because he doesn't realize how sad I am that we haven't conceived yet but he should still know better than to joke about it. His cousin just had another baby this weekend and she was pregnant with her daughter at the same time I was pregnant with my daughter and it just makes me so sad. I know that I need to be grateful that I have one, beautiful, healthy daughter and I so am...but I feel incomplete right now. I'm on CD 8 today so should be another 10-12 days before I ovulate. Next month we won't be able to try because I will be away from DH during my fertile time period

Hi girls , hope ur all ok, I had to + opks yday and then it was negative last night I've been having cramps since last night , so don't no if I've ovulated yet , we bd on the 7th 9th, 10th, do u think I'm covered x

I think you're covered with the + the - opk. I've read that you ovulate anywhere from 24-36 hours after your first +opk, I could be wrong. So if you ovulate today(11 June) and you dtd the 10th, you should be ok

Afm- dh was going to deposit his swimmers into the soft cup, then at the last minute changed his mind and we used preseed and dtd last night. I think I'm ovulating today, as I had a bit of a temp drop today, still no +opk but I had bad cramps last night, so I could have just missed the surge.

Good luck and I hope we both get what we want this cycle

 

[Itsychik]

donna- the 10th should be perfectly in the fertile window! Are you guys able to DTD again tonight/tomorrow? That should cover all bases!

wildchic- how long have you been using OPKs? And do you generally get a + on/around the same CD?

In Feb I got a + OPK on CD 16, then May I got one on CD20... no idea what was going on. But maybe you are just ovulating a little late this month?

I posted on the TTC board but AF seems to have stopped for me Only 3 days of spotting and now nothing since I woke up. I'm googling everything I can find on 'implantation bleeding' to see if any of the symptoms sound the same and going to the bathroom/toilet every hour just to check if AF is back.

Don't want to get my hopes up but can't help it

I only got a +opk last cycle, for the first time ever! I had cramps last night and also had ewcm also had a bit of a temp drop today.
The 3 cycles before this one, I was on clomid and O on cd16/17 and I'm currently on cd16.
So, idk. Only time will tell.

Have you done a pregnancy test? I hope that it is implantation that you had
Good luck and keep us updated!
