Hi All

Ok so I am CD1 today (a surprise as af wasnt due until sunday /monday) started with spotting last night and full blown af this morning!!!

So we are moving on to Month 6!!!I have just had a good chat with dh, he's just called to check im ok

, and we have decided to give it our all next month and try as hard as we can.Although we've been trying for 5 months already I don't feel like we've given it everything we've got in any of those months with one thing and another .

This is my plan so far.....I am going to buy Cleablue digital opks as im sick of trying to determine ov with the inetrnet cheapies, although they worked fine the first few months, they played up last month and i want a clear yes or no that i feel you get with the smiley face or not.

I am going to buy pregnacare vitamins for both of us, when should we start taking these?

We are going to dtd everyday or at least every other day all month and then maybe everyday around ovulation (if i can determine when that will be now i have no idea when it was this month and af early

Healthy eating, no alcohol (except for this saturday when im a bridesmaid!) and no stress, we have both been pretty stressed recently and im sure this may have contributed.

What else can we do to help?

We have decided if it doesnt happen this month and/ or i have no ov signs and early af again then we are going to book doctors,I know 6 months still wont be that long but i m terrified of having PCOS or something.

Fc for project april, whos joining me?!!Maybe we can share tips and advice for getting that BFP in April!

I was thinking thus only this morning!!!!! I'm fully expecting CD1 today or tomorrow (BfN last night n AF pains) onto month 4. I'm going to cut out the chocolate (big weakness for me), eat healthily, have one glass of wine on a Friday/sat night and buy some preg vitamins. I'm with u!! X

I think we have missed it this month, so expecting AF at the end of the month. April would be sooo lovely for us, my bday, hubby bday and our getting together anniversary! Please please little bean! good luck for spring time BFP!

I'm with you too!! AF due next Thursday but I don't think we got lucky this month.
I've already cut down my alcohol and have been on Sainsbury's Mum & Bump vitamins for a couple of months now. We also use Preseed - it worked last time for us!!
Good luck everyone.

Mrscox i think preseed is some kind of lubricant that helps the swimmers reach their destination ! Xxxx

You should start taking the Pregnacare right away as I've heard that they can take a while to work anyway.

I'm with you on this! We're onto month 4 (even though only had two AFs since starting) and we're definitely going crazy this month, as we feel it's our last chance before we get married. I'm taking Agnus Castus to help regulate my cycles. We're both taking Pregnacare (the his & hers pack), I've started temping, we're planning to BD atleast every other day all throughout the month, and perhaps every day whenever I think I ovulate.

Like you last month the OPKs went crazy for me too. I thought I was getting positives for 7 days straight, went crazy taking pregnancy tests to see if it was that, only for AF to arrive! Hmmm, not good.

Good luck!!

i'm in!
we used preseed for 2m's when we conceived dd (chem pg the first month) so highly recommend it!
also back then i was drinking grapefruit juice (increase cm) before and up to ovulation, and pineapple juice after (helps implantation), plus temping to know when i'd def ovulated..and cbfm - so basically everything!
we're 4 dpo on month 3 of ttc number 2x

Hi ladies

I g/c but just wanted to say we used preseed this month and got our bfp

I wasn't getting much cm after implant removal so I think it helped loads. Fc for you all x x x

I am also up for 'project April" if I can join please.

Although we are not entirely out for March as this week is my fertile week, but so far no +ve on the ov sticks and finding it hard to squeeze in the time for bd'ing as soooo busy... I know it's not an excuse but this month is a tough one for us both work wise

We have only been half heartedly trying for 3 months so if it doesn't work this month (which I am not optimistic about) then we have promised to give it our all in April.

It's so hard not to be disheartened at times but onwards and upwards as they say

I might be joining you, I'm due AF today I don't get symptoms though so I will only know she's here when she's here :lol:

April would mean a January baby just to annoy my sister as it's my brothers birthday at the end of Dec, mine, my mums and my dads in January and then my baby :lol: and of course Christmas
