BITCH.

Yes AF arrived 2 days early this time. I half expected her to come as this was the first month of ttc again and I knew I couldn't rely on my cycle being the same as it was before my MC but still I'm gutted image

She came late last night and i simply broke down. Hubby was a star and it gave us a chance to really talk. He didn't know how much ttc meant to me but now he does and he feels the same. In fact he said not a day went by that he didn't think of our little Smartie that we lost in May.

I'm going to try and stay positive. i have bought some OV strips of the internet so will be prepared this month so let the rollercoaster beigin again;\)

    Hi Shelley, its so hard to think about anything other than getting pregnant. It has certainly taken over my life. A month feels like years. Im sure you will get your BFP in the coming months but know thats a small consolation just now. I bought prenatal vitamins yesterday, even told hubby he had to take them to. I MC on 5th July at 9 weeks, have no idea what my body is doing now, and im 40. Have given myself another 8 months, then will accept its not meant to be(thats the plan). Fingers crossed that we both dont have long to wait. Your not alone xxxx

    Big Hugs Shelley.......stupid bitch ...how dare she show her face!!!!
    Glad to hear your keeping positive and OH and you have been able to talk about it. I hope the OV strips work for you. I've still got fingers crossed for my BFP this month but to be truthful I don't think we've BD'd enough. I think I might try temping next month if Af shows her face......this month I have only used CM as a guide and a rough guess at dates as like you I'm not totally sure my cycles are back to normal.
    Anyway hun keep your chin up...onwards and upwards xx

    Hi Sue....
    What is temping??? I'v seen you mention it before and was curious

    I haven't had a go at doing it yet, but as far as I know you have to take your temperature first thing in the morning before you get up everyday throughout the month, then a spike in temperature signifies ovulation so you know when to BD, I also think temperature post ovulation can give you an indication as to whether you'll get BFP. Try googling Basel Body temperature...it will prob give you a more accurate explanation than I can.
    There are some online charts you can use to chart the temperatures, i know a few people use fertility friend.com
    I just think this might be easier than peeing on a stick everyday! and less costly...you just need a themometer that is pretty accurate and its only a half degree ish rise in temp I think
    Hope this helps

    Thanks Sue
    It seems easy enough to do I might give it a go. I agree it would be less hassle then weeing on a stick but will be doing that as well.
    Hopefully the hubster wont be on nights this time around as the 0400 BDing didn't seem to work!

    Hi Shelley and Sparkles
    I temp and its great as you can really see when you have ovulated. I have a digital farenheit thermometer that I brought from amazon and its on my bedside table. I take my temp before I get out of bed every morning. I find that my temp dips a little prior to ovulation and then raises dramatically afterwards. If your temp stays high it can indicate you are going to get a BFP. I use www.fertilityfriend.com to chart my temps. Its great as you can add other details too like your cm when you bd and any opks or cbfm readings. Although I still pee on a stick in the week leading up to ov as temp really only shows when you have ovulated! Hope that helps
