Thanks so much for posting in mine - I really wanted to return the gesture but I wanted to have time to read thru your story

So you have been thru a bit of a rollercoaster in the the last month hun! I am so glad you got your op done. I don't know what those bloods mean tho - but whenever I've had bloods done, there is a little bit next to the result which tells you the "norms" (min and max) - do you have that? Then again, I have only ever had bloods done outside of the UK. Do they even give you your results page from the lab or do they just tell you verbally?

I have just ordered my first lot of preseed! I felt very much like Nic (that it might be a bit dodgy)nuntil recently - the more i hear about how good sex is using it, the more I just wanna give it a go! I'm not going to let on to DH tho. It will do his ego good for him to think that it's all his own doing

So we will be cycle buddies this time round - cool! I am still waiting on CD1 as AF is just teasing with me, but I fully expect to have an overflowing bathroom bin by tomorrow. I have lots of hope this month for everyone!!! June is a good month for pregnancies - warm weather gets your blood heated

Anyway, I'd better stop rambling and taking up your journal space. Look forward to agonising over the next 4 weeks with u!!! When do you normally ov by the way, (just so's I can synchronise watches

Lurrrrrrve ya loads!

Hey Magic

Thanks so much for my post - cant believe you read all my journal, that must have taken a while....i'm gonna have a good look at yours when i get home.

How long have you been TTC number 2? did it take you long with number 1?

Its nice to see we are all going through this at the same time, its great having such good cycle buddies and i love sharing all the tips and new gadgets with everyone...

This month has been a VERY long one with my OP which seems like it was months ago now, to getting my AF yesterday, just glad it was on time and that my temping and everything seemed to match when it all happened so hopefully i'll be able to get a POS on these OPK's this month as i havent seen one before when i've tried.

I need to look into the blood test results as i was just told by the receptionist it was normal, then i asked for the figures and looked on google, some sites say over 20 means you've ovulated and some say over 30 but mine was 27.4 and that was on CD 9 i think it worked out to be according to this cycle..... might get it done again this month and see the difference as i'm normally a 28 day cycle but i think my operation made ovulation a lot later so messed me up this month.....fingers crossed it will go back to normal again now.

How you feeling today? Thanks again for the lovely post and i'll look forward to chatting chick xxx

Yep Nicola you are def right there, even i was said to see it as i knew she was coming - I'm lovin this temping....its been a blessing this cycle otherwise i wouldnt have had a clue that i ov'd later and when and it would have been waiting without knowing anything, probably getting my hopes up and spending too much on tests, but this has been so much better

Roll on ovulation this month and this will be a month of trying pre seed YAY!!!

Taken my EPO today too....

Going to be getting some grapefruit juice too - WANNA SEE SOME EWCM this cycle please!!! lol

Hiya Bird! We've been TTC no.2 for 14 months now

No.1 appeared after 10 months - not very impressive eh?! TBH we were "shooting in the dark", so to speak, for most of that time. I am such an ignoramus, I didn't even know anything about ovulation till about April this year. I so wish I'd listened in biology lessons

I pretty much randomly peed on HPTs up till then, using the "fingers crossed" approach... One day I opened up a HPT and there was a leaflet for an OPK in the box - I had no idea what that was, so I googled it, bought some and then found this site while googling how to read the darned sticks! So, to make myself feel better, I consider that I have been TTC for 2 months cos that's when I joined this site

Sometimes i think its better not knowing so much as there is less to get stressed about, looking on the internet at different sites only confuses me as they all say different things....
14 months seems so long but like you said its only been 2 months proper TTC which just means getting the timings right....although i have

everyday and that hasnt worked for us so we are gonna try and slow it down this cycle- it took my friend over 2 years to conceive naturally for no reason, just seems so long when your ttc and waiting waiting waiting every month when everyone else seems to be pregnant but hey it will be our turn soon xx

magicvw · Jun 4th, 2008, 11:27 AM

Yeah in my case my body deceives me by only producing ewcm a few days after AF, so that's when I was BDing most. I didn't really know anything about ewcm, it just felt nicer to

then. Until I joined FF and started temping I didn't realise that I ov on CD16, so most of my BDs were at totally the wrong time!

I think if you click on my chart u can see my past cycles before I started temping, and FF has now kindly put a green square on what was probably ov day for those cycles. There are almost none where we BDed at the right time!
