Hello girls!!!!

It's a bit overcast here, not warm, not cold and a little dreary. But I prefer it to boiling hot weather - I can't cope with that.
 
Sort of grey and nothing really.... :D

I'm going to go for a sleep - last nights wanderings have caught up with me and I'm exhausted... :sleep: :sleep:
 
Morning Ladies!

ooo.... MM and Libs... I have to join the exercise routine!!! Last month I gained weight like a crazy person!!! My husband and I usually go for a 30 minute walk every night... but I may up it to an hour since we usually don't watch any tv anymore. Want to get back down to the weight I was at my wedding (which is like 15 to 20 pounds!!! :shock: )

I agree with Miss G and this month seems to be going soooo slow. It doesn't help seeing the endless amount of time left on my ticker. I'm convinced already this won't be my month... but that's okay because I'm just going to use it to get "in tune" with my cycle and figure out if and when I'm ovulating. (Doesn't mean I still won't be BDing as often as possible!!!)
 
That's a good idea Jamie.

I'm going to go back to 'not preventing' rather than TTCing.
No legs in the air, and no panicking about OH having a w@nk ( :oops: ) in case he dilutes his sperm.

:shock: This may sound really weird ...but I would hate it if my DH did that. He said he didn't like doing it before we were married and certainly doesn't see any reason to do it now.... He says that's what he has me for? Am I being selfish for not wanting him to do that? :oops:

On a better note... After Bding last night... I thought ... "maybe I should put my legs up just incase... :think: " but I didn't because I knew I wasn't ovulating and that there is no sense putting that much pressure on it while it's not even possible yet...
 
I don't have a problem with it - OH has a VERY high sex drive (we're talking constant here :roll: ) and I really can't keep up!
Letting him do that means I get the odd night off! Plus I think he would actually go crazy while AF is here :rotfl:

I wouldn't - I get blumming uncomfortable like that anyway so only do it if I can really convince myself!

Gosh we do talk about some strange things!!! :lol:
 
Do you think our OH's would be happy if they knew we talked about their relationships with their hands... :rotfl:
 
I agree.... this is the only place anyone could talk about bleeding, checking your cervix, sex, CM, throwing up, cramps, poo, and peeing and still be amongst friends!!! lol
Sometimes Mark (my DH) will be reading over my shoulder and be like "what does that say!!!" :shock: he is funny.

I just tell him... "trust me if you were a girl you would find so much comfort in this forum!"
 
My OH isn't keen on me being on here - he seems to think that you are all secretly men who are chattingme up :roll:

If only he knew ;)
 
Lol! Hey Monster_munch you wanna come over to mine for a drink or two!!! :rotfl:

Now you can get him all excited that your being chatted up by women instead of men!!! lol
 
oh yeah! I forgot about the 4,000 miles between us!!! oops! :rotfl:

Hope you're a good swimmer!

So you read up on your OPK's and we aren't suppose to use FMU ... so I could do it about lunch time...but are you still suppose to not drink too much before the test? :think: There are so many "rules" to follow! I was reading up on taking my temp yesterday and realized I had been doing it wrong because I was taking it after I had gotten up to to bathroom and it says that any moving around can alter the temp... there is so much to know and remember when ttc. Once I do this for two months and see if I'm actually ovulating... and when I'm Oving...then I'm stopping all the nonsense and just Bding for the week or two surrounding the usual OV dates... bc if I keep going like this I'll be exhausted from all the stress of making sure i'm doing everything right... jeeez

rant over!
 
It's a pain isn't iut? I think it's probably best to use your 2nd wee of the day, which for me is lunch time, for "normal people" (not freaks like me!!) probably about 10am something like that!

I am going to do the OPK's and nothing else - I will (dammit I will!) chill out on everything else - I just want to know when I ovulate for my own peace of mind. Plus it will be interesting to see what day of the month it is.
Must remember that after you get a positive OPK it will be about 36 hours before you ovulate. :roll: so it's not really that obvious!
 
Hello ladies cant stop long really as im at the inlaws on there pc as we have no net at home :evil: so what have i missed????
 
Well...with my cycle being soooo long... finding ovulation could be like finding a needle in a haystack... and since my scan last month on CD22 said it didn't look like I had ovulated yet... I thought if I do the OPK's to find out before I ovulate and then do the temping to confirm whether or not I did ovulate. I reckon if I do it for two cycles and it says the same thing... then I will probably be safe to trust that as my normal OV time. So I'll only have to be a total nutcase ttc'er for two more months... well three since my cycles are sooo freaking long! I'm hoping they shorten up the next two months!
 
:hug: aww hun
Mine are only about 30 days and that feels like an age to me
I really hope they shorten up for you.

What you suggested sounds like a really good idea though, hopefully it will mean you know what's going on! And you never know, while you are concentrating on getting to know you cycle you might fall pg without knowing it.
