That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[Amberyll23]

Grand--I hear you on the cutting back. I will probably cut back on the wine as well!

Last cycle was my first time fiddling with OPKs, I think I will probably use them this time as well.

As for BDing, we will probably BD as often as DH is up for it, but I think we may pull back a bit on that as well, we were doing it a lot around O time and I think I wore out my OH!

As for time, I think we are going to give it 6 cycles and if no go, then back to the gyn. At 36, it is going to probably take us a bit longer than most to catch the egg again. This cycle will be our third (we didnt try 1st cycle after m/c).

Hi all

Sorry I've been AWOL for a while, have been really down since cd1 and haven't been able to face talking about it but I've picked myself up again ready for this month. I have been silently stalking you all though to keep myself up to date as this thread moves so fast!

Cd7 today, AF left a couple of days ago - after being quite nasty this month but on a positive side, its the first real bleeding I have had since the ERPC.
I started on the grapefruit juice on cd5, easier to stomach than the cough syrup which was gross!
Taken delivery of my Pregnacare Conceive Plus and fresh batch of sticks for the CBFM, so I'm ready.
The only thing that will hamper my chances this month is the fact that I will potentially be working away for a couple of days smack bang in the middle of my fertile time - going to have to 'stock up' on the before I go although DH is being awkward at the moment and not wanting to at all (since New Years Eve) - just keeps fobbing me off.
He's going to have to book his ideas up pretty quickly otherwise it'll be a totally wasted month

Not got the time to mention everyone individually but good luck to all, here's hoping for a couple of at least this month.

Has he said why he doesn't want to ? Fxd this is your cycle!

Think its cos I'm always nagging him for sex - how else are we going to make a baby?

I know where you're coming from, I'm 36 next month, this is my 4th cycle of trying since m/c and 3rd with CBFM.

Good luck to you

I know, I should call his bluff
Hope it works as I'll be needing him in a couple of days.

Men - stroppy buggers!

 

[Amberyll23]

New--welcome back, and I hope your DH gets his but in gear! Sometimes they need a good kick in the rear, I swear!

Oh, and I forgot to add, something else I plan on doing this month is starting to exercise a bit again. Nothing that would hurt TTC, of course, but I stopped exercising when I got pregnant this last time, and I miss it. Hoping it will help keep me healthy and better physically for a little one!

I joined my works gym last week - trying to go three times a week and am actually enjoying it at the moment. I have put on loads of weight since the m/c and am really annoyed with myself.

Hi there, just read part of this thread and noticed that i have a lot in common with the last couple posts. I am 35, TTC#1, DH is being a little weird with when I request it. We have also had a m/c. Hope I can join your group. I am in the other 2WW and find it very long.

 

[Lisa7]

I forgot, I also enjoy but am cutting back during the waiting to O time, and not having any in the 2WW. I stopped drinking coffee completely,but miss it so much. Actually last month I had some coffee while waiting for O and think I might allow myself a little again this month.

 

[neffie]

New - Welcome back! I hear you on the OH complaining about . I agree with Grand...play hard to get, but at the same time try and DTD on the right days. Easier said than done, I know. Either way, hope he comes around soon.

Lisa7 - Welcome! You've come to the right place. I must say though that even though the OTWW thread is long, it's AWESOME! Hope you join us there post O day.


Shell -




to everyone else.

Wow, I didn't realise that there were more than a couple of us around the 35 mark - thought it was just me - was starting to feel like an old bag

Got first peak on CBFM today and have also pre-warned DH who said 'oh ok, we'll sort it' so I'm taking that as him getting his act into gear finally!
