Doh!!!!!! Took me ages to realise the other thread was closed. lol.I tried to post a few times lol.

How is everyone?I am popping on while kids are all asleep ( I do FDC).

I am on CD 18. OPK tests were telling me I O CD 11 or 12. However...... My body seems to be back to normal after the implanon came out 5 months ago and I am getting CM again! That was on CD 16 though so not sure what is going on.I havent bd since CD 14. Another week until I might start testing.I am however trying to wait till AF is over due but that will never happen lol.

Hope your all doing well and good luck to those TTC right now :-)

Hi Ladies,

So glad you feel things are back to normal after the implanon came out lovebeingamum76 hope this is the month for you fx!

Hi othermotherthanks for the geeing, Im really trying!!lol it just seems that 6 months in Im starting to wonder about it all, age is so not on my side but I keep holding out hope. I keep baulking (I think this is the wrong spelling, sorry) but I really need to get some advice about whether to try some assisted method, but am so in the dark and dont know where to start. I mean for goodness sakes, I haven't even started trying opk's or temping or charting properly but dont know where to go to seek out info on how to properly systematically approach these things. I feel like such a green horn!! BTW You are so not mad, I had my second at 40 without even planning it! it seems like everyone tells you AGE AGE AGE but seriously, when I was having my 2nd ds most of the mums were in their 40's. fx for you.

fraggles, thanks for the well wishes, and dont be scared about the weight, you seem to be really on to it and that's such an important part of losing it which Im sure you will. Hope all is going well with the ttc discussion with hubby.

PrincessHollie hope all is well and your feeling better.

cbmummy any more spotlight adventuress??

3saCharm hope your feeling better too

hoping for a heavy downpour of babydust upon us all!!

Hey ladies, it's been a bit quiet in here lately so I thought i'd come and change that lol.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend. I have had a great week, Thursday morning my first ever niece was born...so i've been thrilled about that. She had a close call and nearly didn't make it..but she is a trooper and luckily the dr's caught her just in time and she is safe and healthy now!!

My new nieces birth has also made me very clucky for my 3rd, I feel like i'm ready to TTC now but I have Christmas, New Years, and my 30th coming up and I kinda want to relax over that period and not worry about people wondering why in not drinking and hiding out of sight in the possible chance that I might be sick (MS) in front of them. I know these last couple of months will fly by but I just want this sooner rather then later.

My UTI has ceased and I go for a check up at the dr next week..i'm going to start back my pre-conception multi vitamins too so we'll see how we'll go with that. I'm due for wicked AF in 3 days and after this cycle I only have 3 AF's to go before we start TTC...super excited. For anyone else starting in the new year..are you doing the same as I and waiting for the festive/party season is finished or are you just going straight forward into TTC from January? I really look forward to sharing your journey and hope those of you who are TTC now get your wishes soon.

Hi ladies, hope you're all having a good weekend!

3'sACharm Aww how lovely you have a new little niece Love baby news! Glad all is ok, sounds like they had a bit of a scary time with her, dear me. Glad everything turned out well in the end and she's doing well now.
I can totally understand waiting until after christmas/new years and your 30th, will be fun just realxing and celebrating during that time, then starting TTC after. Lots to look forward to for you! We are planning on TTC around christmas/jan ish, just depending where my cycle is as I guess?! I'd most likely be designated driver on christmas and new years anyway while DH has a few lol, so I'm not too fussed either way. If we haven't started TTC at the time I'll just have a couple of drinks, but hopefully we'll be TTC around that time ish. We'll just see what happens
Glad you're over your UTI, hope your follow up appt at the dr goes well. I'll start taking vitamins in november I think, which is only a few days away now, eek.
You asked in the last thread about buying cheap opks. This is where I got my current lot, just off ebay. I haven't started using them yet, so I can't tell you if they're great or not hehe, but hopefully they do the job! Here's the link Ebay opk's
When trying for DD1 I used 'Lullaby Conceptions' OPK's which were excellent! I found them fantastic and fell pregnant the first month using them after TTC for 8 months before that. They're a bit more expensive though, but here's the link to those ones - Lullaby Conceptions opk's
Hope that helps

valhalla007 I really hope it happens this cycle for you. So deflating and upsetting trying month after month with no positive result Are you thinking about making an appt with an OB/Gyn sometime soon ish just to have a chat and a check up? So hope you get your BFP this cycle so you don't even have to think about it!
I know 'they' say there's a 25% chance of falling pregnant each cycle, and I was certainly questioning things when we were up to cycle 8 when TTC DD1 and I was only 23, and everyone around us seemed to be falling pregnant immediately, you do start to worry if something might be up, but hopefully it's just one of those times when it takes a few months and then all of a sudden it's your turn I can't recomment OPK's enough, my cycle was all over the shop when TTC and I think they truly helped us fall pregnant, twice. We also followed the 'Sperm Meets Egg Plan' and that combined with the opk's must've helped, as we fell pregnant that month after months of no results. We did have a M/C, but then did SMEP again and used opk's and fell pregnant straight away, so I only have good things to say about both of those hehe. Here's a link to the 'Sperm Meets Egg Plan' if you haven't read about it before (sorry, I haven't caught up on allllll the previous threads so I'm not sure if you've tried it previously ) SMEP

lovebeingamum76 Great to hear your body seems to be on track, yay! So good when you start getting signs of O and can work out what your cycle is doing Hope you get a BFP when you test!

Fraggles Hi and welcome! Sorry to hear about your DH's insensitive comments I'd be upset too. I'm sure my DH would prefer me to lose some weight before TTC again, but he wouldn't ever say that to me! I've been back at the gym 3-4 days a week though and eating really well most of the time, so at least it's a start. Hope you can find some time out for yourself to exercise if you want to, it's nice to have that time out just for you hehe, and you do always feel better after, but it's nice to do it for you, not when someone else tells you to.

Hi to everyone else, and good luck to all those currently TTC!

All is good here, AF arrived on thursday as expected, so will start tracking my cycle this month. Feeling a little nervous as I don't know what to expect lol, hopefully it's regular ish and not 60+ days long Kind of looking forward to testing out these opk's and seeing how they go, hopefully they're easy to read and work ok! I think we're going to just try and time BD closer to ovulation when TTC this time around to see if we get a little boy But I'm not too worried either way, would be nice to experience having a little boy and I know DH would love a son. But our girls are so adorable haha and so super close, so I'm sure they'd love another sister. Will just see what happens hehe.
Not much else going on here, had a little family get together this morning for my birthday which is on tuesday, so that was lovely. And just a relaxing afternoon in our house now. Girls are asleep so I've put my feet up for a while, ha.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend xx

Hi Ladies,

This board is becoming an addiction for me!

Peaches, Happy Birthday to you for Tuesday and thanks for the smep link, I had a look at it and it seems very useful, I have been in denial about the whole thing and it just hit me its been 6 cycles of ttc, it is deflating, but really inspiring to hear your story with the 8 cycles before dd1. Hope your tracking this cycle is going well and there are no more 60 day cycles! Let me know how the OPK's go. I think my family might be opposite to you I have 2 ds and hoping for a dd.

Bec, congrats on the new neice, and glad to hear the UTI has gone. Only 2 months till christmas, they will fly Im sure and you can get on with this journey.

lovebeingamum, Ijust read your first post and laughed, I have done the same thing myself and wondered where my posts had gone! Hope all is well

AFM After a long 47 day cycle and a two week AF, I bought an ovulation thermometer and have just set up a tracking chart (4 days in)! with fertility friend, which seems similar to the smep program without the every second day bding. I still haven't bought OPKs but it seems my cycle is so weird and unpredictable now that I am going to have to invest in them, especially after your endorsement of them, and now Im temping I can guage a reasonable time to test for O. Hearing your smep experience, Peaches, I am hoping to be able to follow the program too. Unfortunately my dh is periodically travelling for work, and it often seems to coincide with my fertile days. Im hoping that once Ive established my exact time of O we will be able to work better around it. Perhaps I should have a word with his boss! I am wanting to go see an ob/gyn but am hesitant as I am in my 40's and my gp gave me the impression he thought I was too old, even though my hormone test came back with everything in order still. I felt embarrassed to discuss it further , because I feel like its my age slowing down the ttc process and also feel I might find the ob/gyn not sympathetic to my goal, it seems most advice is to wait a year or so trying naturally and then come back if unsuccessful to seek out more specialist advice. Im torn about it. This has become such a long post (sorry), fx for all on this ttc journey,
Ava

Hi gang, where did everyone go? Any pregnancy news for anyone.

I'm just eagerly taking all my supplements waiting for the 3 month recommended period, absolutely obsessed with anything baby!! I think I'm more excited and eager than the first time!!

[3'sACharm]

cbmummy Oh I am so like you right now..i've been stalking everywhere...I just can't wait to have a 3rd baby. Been visiting my sister in law and my new niece and she is so tiny and so perfect, she makes me so much more cluckier than ever. I've been a tad slack on the supplement side of things..our dog has been unwell of late so she is on a whole heap of medicine, so trying to remember to give her her medicine and then taking my tablets, i'm so forgetful most of the time that I forget both (naughty me) plus i'm scared that I might get a UTI again but oh well!

I wish it was a bit more chattier in here...I love to talk lol

Hi everyone!

Im new here We are TTC #3 with clomid. I dont ovulate at all so without medication we dont fall pregnant We have done 2 cycles with what is considered no ovulation however I have got AF when its due to im pretty sure something must have happened!

We have 2 beautiful children, a girl and boy. Both are fertility medication assisted. Our youngest is just 8 months old however our fertility specialist informed us if we dont try again ASAP we may not have the chance down the track, we had already decided we wanted our little ones close anyway.

CD3 so far so just the beginning Looking forward to sharing all the journeys!
