Oh no kitkat sorry to hear about your hubby!! Hope he has a swift recovery and you get an attempt in!
I've just popped in as DH and DS are napping so I'm using the wifi at reception and drinking a cuppa. I've been getting O pain since Thursday but it's much less now. OPKs have been getting darker with me and DH arguing about whether the colours match lol. Of course he is always right and I am seeing things. Today's is really dark but I still think negative which is annoying because we BD yesterday!! And of course I'm not restricting cals or fat here it's impossible. Also I have been taking sips of water because I have to in this heat so again it's false hope that it might be a false negative....
Hope you are all doing well and those of you in the 2ww get your BFPs
Sorry to hear about your DH kitkat! Hope he has a quick recovery!
AF started today so today is cycle day 1 of my 2nd attempt (took off March and April). Buckling down on my diet now and going to try and exercise every day till O which is usually on CD15. Will start OPKs on CD10 as I ovulated early on day 12 when I got pregnant on accident with DS2.
So good to hear from you Stephk! Hope you're enjoying your hols! Sounds like a positive opk won't be far away. 😊
Yah!!! Stephk hope you get a pos in 3 days time!! Make me jealous with what you are eating.....
Hubby is okay but after feeling super calm and logical about it all I lost it today....
.just found out his appendix had ruptured and he has an infection he is in the best place getting treated really well and hopefully home soon!! Cray Cray but I am drinking peppermint tea to delay ovulation... In the hopes I can get an attempt in!! I'm not too concerned his health is soooo important so if we have to skip a month! No worries.......but thought it was worth a try :)
Good luck essence!! Xx

oh my gosh you're poor hubby completely sympathize with him, my appendix ruptured when i was pregnant 22 week with ds2. i was lucky to live let alone my son. Him getting better is so much more important hope you manage to delay o or try again later.
I'm cd6 and this next week cannot go fast enough to attempt!! Tying to keep busy!
What's the thinking on sweets and chocolate with ttc pink?
Kitkat I'm so sorry to hear your DH has a ruptured appendix :( you're right he is in the best place and hopefully the pep tea and stress will delay O a little.
I would probably only make you a little jealous on the food front lol. Saturday we arrived very late so with all the travelling I only managed a veggie burger and chips at the airport and some fruit and chocolate on the plane!! Sunday I was starving and I had a carb fest breakfast - coffee, breads and cake! Veggie pizza for lunch and then a 6 course Egyptian dinner which was amazing, we are going back to that restaurant on Friday. Yesterday I wasn't hungry at breakfast but still managed croissant, cake and coffee. Lunch was salad and cake and dinner I hit the buffet. Hmmm ok maybe I am over eating after all!!
Today I really wasn't hungry at breakfast so only had coffee by choice. I've just had a salad now because we are going for a big lunch in an hour when DS wakes up. We have a sushi booking tonight.
Oh - and the all inclusive includes sparkling wine!! Amazing hey!! I'll shut up now.
Kitkat: wishing your DH a speedy recovery! And hope you will be able to attempt soon xx
Stephk:wow your hols sounds amazing! Not jealous at all ;-). FX for a + OPK soon!
I have totally cheated the whole bank holiday weekend. Need to buckle down and do my best now !
Oh no kitkat! Hope your DH recovers fast!
Well, my attempt is over. I'm 2dpo. I was taking B6 and that delayed O by 3 days for me and I already O late (CD20). So now I wait. Not much hope for a BFP....we did FR and bye the time I O'd I'm afraid that DH's contributions were less than the norm. We shall see.
How much longer until you ladies O? can't wait to see some BFPs!
Im due to O on around the 18th. This is tedious waiting.,. Should we start FR in the next few days?
Hugs to you and hubby, kitkat! I hope he recovers quickly and you get your attempt, too.
Steph... ohmigod, I wanna go on an eating vaca now!!!
Had a 2nd attempt last night just in case the clomid delayed O like it did for me last time. We were going to try for every 4 days, but this was more like 7...amazing how toddlers can cut into your plans to dtd. Though, the OPKs all show neg, so just crossing my fingers at least 1 of the attempts does it this month. So over the dieting.
I'm not a TTC for May, but just recently found out we had a BFP from mid/late April so I will still fall into the due New Year's babies :)
Oh congrats Seamaiden!!

I'm due to O on Monday the 19th which is good since it should be easier to get an attempt in over the weekend.Quote:

Thanks for all your kind words ladies I was stressed again today as we thought he may need another op but his blood count is up so the antibiotics are working!!Don't think I will get an attempt in I just need him to be healthy.....
Really wondering how much longer I can do this for thinking maybe a month off doing loose le might help then come back refreshed for June. Any suggestions? I don't want to give up on DG but I don't want to keep going on and on to still hear boy in a years time.
Good luck girlie dreams and Elise!!

This is what I did when I took off March and April. No exercise and I did a loose LE. I still skipped breakfast and ate the same 500 calorie LE lunch every day, but ate a more regular dinner (including some red meat and salmon). I also went back to using heavy cream in my peppermint tea during that time!Quote:

Thanks essence !! Good advice I think that's what I will do good luck everyone I really hope May is your month and I will come back and check up on you xxxx

Heavy cream in peppermint tea?! That sounds delicious!

Yes it is! Now I'm back on full blown LE diet though so now it's just plain peppermint tea sweetened with xylitol. No heavy cream or even lowfat milk. :(Quote:

I've seen Atomic say that sometimes your body will give a bump of LH for whatever reason so hoping it was just a freak thing and I'll get a positive OPK later this week. I thought about just attempting tonight but didn't want to be too early and end up with more than one attempt. ��
Kidandcatmommy - hope you'll get that real positive later this week. Tracking ovulation has been so much harder for me too since started swaying, cycles get messed up and body is not acting as usual! Fx for you!
Kidandcatmommy hopefully it was just a bit of LH that wasn't enough for the real surge - keep testing I'm sure you will get your positive soon
Kitkat please do keep checking in on us! Let us know when your DH is ok and make sure you get some cake this weekend x
Kitkat, hope your dh is better soon!
Why is this week going soooo slowly?? Cd8, come oooonnnn... ha ha I'm such a moaner sorry!
I am trying to avoid the temptation to TTC this month. Today is "O-Week" & the way I conceived my sons I just would have BD'd every day this week & that would be that. I've only been on my diet for a week, & still waiting on my PP so I want to wait til next month to TTC to give myself that 6 week minimum on LE... But oh man I want to be PG soooo bad & I'm so miserable with working full time again (had to go back to full time work to afford to take my maternity leave at half pay). I just know though that if I get PG this month & it's another boy I will be thinking "what if...?" This is our last baby so I need to do all I can to get my DD. Kitkat, I really hope your husband is recovering & lyagirl I agree, I want this week to fk right off but for different reasons obviously! I'm due to O around Monday or Tuesday so I just want to get to this time next week so I know the ability to conceive has gone for the month & I can focus on next month. Sigh.

I know what you mean Primalmama I was gona ttc in april but my af went MIO so couldnt I april, was such a long month for me that was not knowing if I'd O or not. Ive got everything crossed that this month I will o and can attempt.
Lyagirl everything crossed for your O!
Primalmamma don't give in to temptation lol!
Hi all, have been trying to avoid coming on here as I'm so fed up but figured, you know what, you'll all understand so here I am. For some reason I suddenly felt compelled to do more opk testing and strangely it look on Monday like it was possibly positive (even though I already think I had my positive and had a bit of a rubbish attempt). Anyway, today I've started getting signs of AF. Last month this started a week before AF was due and it's a week until AF again so now I'm having guilt free alcohol!!! Just feeling it will never happen and unlike my two pregnancies before I feel panicked, due to my age and my husband putting a time limit on things. Anyway, I know none of you can give me answers but thought I'd share what's been going on. Really need to get a better attempt in next month.
Steph - how's your holiday? Any signs of O?
Thanks for 'listening' xxx
Hey everyone, just wanted to stop by and wish everyone good luck! I am moving onto a due date thread now. I got an official BFP today!!
Wow Rosie. Congratulations. X
Congrats Rosie! All the best for a happy and healthy 9 months xx
Congrats Rosie!
Hooray! Congrats Rosie

Rosie huge congrats very pleased for you and very envious :) hope you get a sticky pink bean.
Looby sorry to hear you are feeling fed up. Remember that O symptoms, AF symptoms and PG symptoms are pretty much the same at this stage so you are still in with a shot. I'm having a good holiday thanks, haven't had a positive OPK yet but they have been getting darker all week. Our last attempt was 2 days ago and I have to admit if the positive comes today I will be really really tempted to go for it again, I don't feel confident with any kind of cutoff. I have only one test left too so hopefully this is it, or hopefully my pee has been too diluted and I got a false negative yesterday. I've been feeling a little guilty about the lack of exercise and holiday eating but have made peace with it and enjoyed it for what it is - holiday eating. If this is what it has taken to ovulate bring it on.
Rosie: yeah !!! Congratulations! Xxxx
Stephk an eating holiday sounds so lovely!!! Hopefully, you'll get a positive OPK soon. I'm still unsure whether I've missed it or if it's just going to be really late for me. Doesn't help that I've been wanting to drink coffee like crazy and diluting out my urine! I'm going to have to buy more OPK's tomorrow. Waiting for ovulation makes the TWW seem like a piece of cake!
Anyone have fantasies about just eating whatever they want, lifting weights, multiple attempts at dtd and saying forget it all? I don't think I will but it seems really tempting!!! The frustration of waiting to get pregnant is so annoying especially if I missed this month by accident! I'm not sure what I would have done if it was like this getting pregnant with my boys. I guess it's good that I feel like my fertility has tanked.
