Bugger steph! 😞
We will have to be TTC buddies again next month (if my AF ever arrives!!)
Oh huge bummer, Steph! :( Okay, we're June buddies. Maybe we should start a June thread soon...
Welcome, PrimalMamma! I love your weekend cheat idea. I may adopt that, too.
This month I think I'm just focusing on exercise and getting the dh ramped up enough to do every 4 days in stead of more like every 6 that we did this cycle. Either I'm not Oing at all (likely...the LE diet has been kicking my butt) or my timing with the OPKs is off and I'm just not catching the egg. (And I'm using the digital ones, so I have no excuse!)
Sorry Steph that sucks! Next month has to be your month!

I think I screwed up my opk tests. I think CD9, 10, and 11 were actually negative. Yesterday's CD12 test lines were darker than the control then dried equal. That makes more sense with my normal O on CD15. Going to dtd tonight after last dtd on CD10. Hopefully that will still just be one attempt if I O tomorrow. Just started having O pains last night and today.
Essence yes that sounds like one attempt - good luck!
Mumofsix - if you are not PG it would be great to be a cycle buddy :)
I'm still eating Nutella and have opened a bottle of rose cava :)
So sorry af arrived Steph On the plus side at least your cycle is returning to normal Don't worry too much about short lp It can happen in some months while on the diet Last month I ovulated on cd17 (after I thought I had ovulated cd7 and cd11) and my af arrived on cd21 Now that's a short lp! I think the diet etc plays havoc with our cycles for a while Hopefully next month your lp will be longer. Hope you're enjoying that nutella!!!!! :)

Atomic thinks it's still the remnants if coming off BCP and I tend to agree. I'm so angry with myself for going back on it after DS was born but what can you do. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time. She also wants me to have more full fat dairy and eggs so I'll do my best. You are right, things are going to be screwy. I just pray to god that it's going to be over soon. At least this situation is helping my GD because I really am past caring - if I'm not meant to have a daughter, so be it but please god I want another (healthy) baby
You will definitely have another healthy baby You eat so healthily as it is You put me to shame with what I eat! Hopefully the full fat dairy and eggs will do the trick next month.

Let's hope so. I do eat really healthily in fact I've probably never been healthier. DH is always making stupid comments about what I eat but he only eats well when he eats what I cook! Haven't had a healthy eating day today but I'll be on track again from Monday :)
I always believe in huge cheat days when af arrives Good for the soul Enjoy!

Hey peeps! Popping back up to say hello! I'm in the 2ww again, trying not to obsess too much as this is attempt number five and the roller coaster of attempts, 2ww and then testing has been wearing on me hard. Had some meat cheats, going to have sushi tonight, just relaxing. I plan on testing on the 22nd at the earliest, or wait for AF as constantly poas gets expensive! Hope everyone is doing well! Let's get some BFPs up in here!
Stephk if MumofSix is pg I will be your June cycle buddy! Lol. Good luck essence. And to you Arimethia with your 2ww.

I'm not PG! Wishful thinking but I know I'm not. 😉
Goodluck essence!
And yes Arimethia we need some BFPs. 😊
Well we can all be June Cycle Buddies together then MumofSix x

Yay June is where it's at ;)
Sure can PrimalMamma! AF just arrived so CD1 today!
Wow shame we won't O at the same time Mumofsix but I really pray it's our month! I realised this morning that DH is going to a boat party on 31st May which means he will be indulging in things he shouldn't :( when I told him it will affect his sperm he said well that's good for a girl isn't it.....I would still prefer he didn't do it but what can I do, I have to avoid arguing or worrying about it.
I should ovulate 2nd June! Can't wait now! This HAS to be our month! Went and got vitex and SP to start again today and ordered more opk's and HPTs. I saw a baby girl at the footy today and she was sooo cute! I want one so badly!! Also ran into my brother and his girlfriend at the footy who then came and sat with us. I couldn't believe it! 😠 The. I came home and was talking with DH about how they'll be married soon and PG and probably have a girl and how I don't want then to have the first granddaughter! And DH said "it's ok, you'll be PG with our daughter soon" 😊 He also commented that whether or not we have a daughter first or after them, that their daughter (or son) would be more "doted upon" anyway and that we just have to forget about what they all think. He is right but it's hard when it's my own family.
Hopefully your DH will keep TTC in mind when he goes on his party.
Hmmm he didn't keep TTC in mind at any other parties or when recently asking a friend to sort him out with special cigarettes :( even our friends who do the same thing were shocked. When we conceived DS he hadn't touched anything for 4 months even though I wanted it to be at least 6 months and he thought he deserved a medal. When we argued about it today he said well I have never cheated on you and I'm like Er I should think not!!! I can't believe him sometimes!
You know what - knowing what I know about your family, I also get the sense that whatever your brother has will be doted on more. I really hope that you get a girl first. And if not that they also have boys. Boys are beautiful anyway and they love their mums :) wouldn't it be funny if they also had a large family, what would your parents think then!
Hi all!
Have tried to catch up here after a busy weekend with not much time to read in here.
Sorry about those BFNs :-( And sorry to hear about arguments with DH and stupid comments from family.
My diet has been awful this weekend. Cake, cake and more cake. And wine, lot's of wine. From now to O I will have to be super strict.
Got some ewcm today but shouldn't o until end of next week, around saturday or so. A bit hard to tell exactly since I don't know when those spottings were considered to be AF.
I so wanna be pregnant now. My neighbor just told me they are having another baby and while I am happy for them it is painful at the same time. I really have to make myself smile but I also wanna cry and scream that I was supposed to have a baby too, two months before them but now I am here, struggling with a stupid diet and spottings and negative sticks.
I talked to the doc that checked my cyst in february and she thinks my spottings are linked to what caused the cyst and that it is all due to a hormonal unbalance (?) after last pregnancy. They told me to give it two more months, if I am still spotting then they will examine me more.
I know I have read that a messed up cycle can be good, cause that means somethings happening with the hormones, but since early spotting can make it harder to get pg I a am not very happy over this change.
Oh, I just wanna get this week over with and be able to make next attempt. Then the awful 2ww before it all probably starts all over again. Sorry for whining.
Hope you ladies have had a nice weekend!
Sorry to hear how you're feeling Marika, we can all totally relate and whining is totally cool here! Can the doctor not investigate now instead of prolonging your agony? The sense of time when you are TTC is totally different to when you're not, don't you think?
I have also been very bad with the diet this weekend, in fact I'm eating cake and drinking wine right now! :)
Men are so hopeless!!! And I think they all think they deserve a medal if they don't cheat on us.....uhhhh hello!! That just automatically comes with being in a relationship!! My DH almost left me for a much younger "bimbo" at his work and he gets so cross when I make commented about it when he has work meetings with her etc! I get "but I didn't leave" like it makes any better that he almost did!! And he doesn't get why I have such a problem about the fact that he still works with her!! 😠
Mumofsix sorry your family is being annoying. At least your husband was sweet about it though! Occasionally those DH's are sweet and say the right thing haha!
Oops mumofsix just read your lAst message I was referring to the "you will have your daughter soon" not the "but I didn't leave" comment! And I would be annoyed if my husband had to work with her too!
Lol Kidandcatmommy! I assumed you meant the previous comment. He can occasionally be sweet. 💜😊
lol well we can be glad not to be alone in the useless DH stakes then. Yes, to be fair to him he does have his good moments. I just wish he would realise he is 35 years old, a father and now TTC again...but there is obviously nothing I can do about it so I have given up trying.
mumofsix i would also have a problem if in that position, lets hope the bimbo gets another job and leaves
They're all useless its in the male makeup!
I'm in the tww now, dpo3/4. I hope I'm not over thinking it but I feel preg and have some typical symptoms I had before !
Sorry to all those who have bfn this month, June is a lucky month according to my very superstitious gran!
Mumofsix - I would also not feel very happy about that girl being at the same place as my dh!
stephk - Yes, you are so right about the sense of time when ttc. Especially first days in 2ww are horrible!
About the docs and my spottings - I think they might check me sooner if I would have really insisted or said that I believe that I have a new cyst or in pain or so, but I didn't. I will give it maximum two cycles and then call back.
I am starting to think that O is coming closer again. Sorry for TMI, but I am having some ewcm and cervix is getting softer. Had neg opk yesterday but will start testing every day or maybe twice. Ovulated the 29 of april so 21 days ago. Feels like cycle is getting shorter for every month! (If it doesn't impact chances of pg I am happy, the more often I o the better, but I am not sure that eggs get the chance of growing and eventually implanting if everything is speeding like this.)
lyagirl - Fx for you!!
Iyagirl I hope you are!!!
Marika no such thing as TMI here girlfriend!! Lol.
MumofSix - pardon me but fuck that bimbo! OMG. I would go skitz if my DH was working with someone like that. Mine actually started a new job today... In my office! I've worked there 8 years so there is no getting away with NOTHING!! Lol.

Girls, can OPKS stay positive for 2 days? I had 1rst positive yesterday (I think) - we bded anyway as it was the '4th' day but this morning is still positive. Should we stay at the one attempt?
Thanks xxx
lavieenrose - yes I think an opk can stay positive for more than a day. I believe Atomic wrote somewhere that you should count the first positive and bd when you get it. Some ppl get positive just a few hours, others for two days. I have also had a +opk at night and then still positive in the morning, and fainter again in the evening.
I would stick to tge attempt from last night! GL!
hope you are lyagirl - everything crossed for you! For those of us that are out for May, I hope your gran is right.
Marika - what CD are you on? I think I have read somewhere that cycles of 24-33 days are considered 'normal'. I think. Dont quote me on it.
Lavie you are in your 2WW - good luck! hope you get your BFP
Fingers crossed lyagirl!! And I hope your gran is right. 😊
Stephk: Exact CD is a bit hard to say for me since I can't be 100% when my early bleeding/spotting is to be considered a full AF flow.
But I do remember writing in 2ww thread about AF-like cramps and increased bleeding the the 11/5. So if that is correct (and the spottings were just spottings antil then, and not AF) I would be o CD 9 today.
Last ovulation was 29/4, so almost 3 weeks ago. I just downloaded an application to start tracking my bleedings and stuff better. Will take an opk tonight as well and see if line is getting stronger.
Defiantly not alone steph! And if you find a way to get your DH to realise he is 35 with kids and TTC, please let me know!! My DH could learn the same lesson. 😉
