Subject : Anyone here from the YAYW crowd? I'm new!

Well, new to here! An old timer on YAYW.

I thought as I was now a married lady and we are ttc, I should move from YAYW onto here. I'll still pop back on every now and again to offer my words of wisdom to the brides-to-be (shouldn't take long!) but I'm now concentrating on baby making instead!

I'm hoping to pick up some tips on the best ways to conceive, I have PCOS so I know it will be a long road and we may have to go down the clomid route, but hopefully not. I've been using those ovulation sticks that you pee on, but they don't work too well for me as they rely on detecting LH surges, and my LH levels are all over the place. So I was thinking temp method would work better? Although I hear that by the time your temp spikes, you've already ovulated and your best chance has passed? I couldn't really use it to work out my most likely ovulation date, as my cycle is all over the place. Or is plain old regular baby dancing the way to do it? And does regular mean every day, every other day, three times a week?!

I thought planning a wedding was confusing!

Happy

Hi P4TD

I'm an ex-YYW'er too! I've been on here since Jan since I came off the pill and I've had irregular cycles since then too (to say the least but that's another story). I have been doing the temp thing and no you're right, it doesn't predict when you're going to ovulate, only tells you when you have. Which in itself is quite useful if you are irregular - at least you will know when you can expect AF to rear her ugly head!

I would say in the circumstances, that your best bet is to look at your cm (not nice i know) and if you get any ewcm definitely BD on those days, but rest of the time try to BD regularly, which 3-4 times per week would be fine (every other dayish). Doing OPK's could work out very expensive otherwise!

Good luck, and hope you're not in this area of the forum for too long! (in the nicest possible way!!)

Hi P4TD, I was a reader of your posts on YAYW (had a diff username there). I had (have?) PCOS, came off the pill in Jan and conceived in May so hope that's given you some hope.
We thought it would be too stressful to deal with Ov kits so just bd regularly (average 3 times a week).
Best of luck
xx

hi P4TD i was a regular on YAYW until i got married in may,i still pop over and say hi but io have a different name on here and am abit more quiet about "who" i am because i had a friend snopping on there about me and i dont want them knowing we are ttc. it seems alot of us on here havent told friends we are ttc so it works well.
good luck and welcome to the site. everybody is lovely here,couldnt think of nicer people to share problems about af's with LOL!

Another old timer from YYW and to make it easy I was calopa over there too.

I hardly go on there any more, tend to lurk mainly in my lunch hour as can't have this site up or it would give the game away.

Welcome everyone x

Hi I'm an oldie from YAYW too but got married last September, I was Jules74 on there so you can see I have been very imaginative on here with my name!!

Welcome to the confusing, frustrating but often joyful place that is TTC.

Everyone on here is wonderfully friendly, overwhelmingly supportive (and believe me there are times when the people here are the only ones who understand) and hand on my heart I can't be without this place even tho I don't post very often.

Good luck and congratulations on your marriage.

I'm another Y&YW er and have been married 3 weeks tomorrow. Hubby is in Iraq until the end of the November though so ttc is on hold but I am charting religiously in hope of a speedy bfp when he's home. Tried for 5 months before the wedding with no luck!!

I saw lots of your posts and Y&YW and look forward to more here too xx

MUPPET! LOL! Love that word! LOL!

Never heard anything from her ever again, good riddance I say. It was worth losing £400 not to have her there on the day, she would have just ruined it. Had a perfectly wonderful day without her!
