I have a very regular 26 day cycle. If we don't get our BFP (and I'm not too confident at the moment), here's when my next few AFs are due to fall:

April - Easter weekend, when we're staying with the in-laws and sleeping on the floor
Early May - The weekend I'm going on a friend's hen do
Late May - Our first wedding anniversary
June - First week of our holiday

I can't believe she's due at such inconvenient times four months running!!!! :x

thats really bad. Although where there is a will, there is a way!! I have just checked the calendar to make sure that I am not OV over easter when we will be at the inlaws. The sex isnt a problem, its the having to lay in bed for an hour thats the problem! Im lucky this month, as i OV just after easter, i think the monday or tuesday, but it could be over the weekend. I will take my OV sticks with me and see what happens

sleeping on the floor is ok, you can have a little love session if you are really quiet

sleeping on the floor is ok, you can have a little love session if you are really quiet


Not if AF is visiting... :\(

Can you not BD last thing at night and then just not move until morning? x

my mistake, i thought you meant thats when you were OV!! i read the words in my head correctly, and thought something else! that is most definately poor timing, its horrible having AF when you are not at home. I just said to OH that i cant wait til we have a baby and then i can go back on the pill! at least you will be at home for uninterrupted BD at OV time

i did the same lisaleigh - ldom - at least this isnt when you are oving so you will have a really good crack at the whip every month!!

True - although I'd be happy to be bd-ing around wedding anniversary and holiday time. Oh well, I'll have to hope something happens to keep AF away... x

LDOM - where is your PMA please lady? AF won't matter because she will be on holiday while you have your BFP!!!!!!!
You should know better than that LDOM!!!!
xxxx

it could be worse you could be away when you are due to OV!, i am away with the girls during my possible OV dates, ggrrr no chance of a BFP if i'm away
FX you will have to be as sober as a judge for those times due to your BFP!!

I read it that way too! Yeah, come on girl, PMA, at least you're not kipping on the floor at your in-laws for OV! What a nightmare! Or away on a hen night!
And you will be pregnant come your anniversary!
xx

I'm with Emma on this one - you should be thinking:

Easter - trying to hide pregnancy from PIL until 12 weeks!
Hen do - cant drink!
Wedding anniversary - cant drink but very happy anniversary gift!!
Holiday - how good bump will look in bikini!!

It's all about the PMA!! xx

Mrs Rodders
I actually can't wait for a bump in a bikini - I think they look quite tasteful in the right way!!!!!

Thanks ladies. I was just so disappointed last month that I don't want to get my hopes up too much this month - couldn't stand the same level of disappointment if AF shows up, but would be perfectly happy to have a nice surprise if I get my BFP. x

Yeah LDOM you have no worries as you will get your bfp very soon for sure!!!
My evil af looks like its on its way so not happy! Only got chance to bd once during fertile period this month as DH away with work, and just looked at the dates for next month.........And yep right slap bang in the middle of the in laws "once in a blue moon" visit!! RAAA they sleep in the room next to us!
Aren't dates just mean!! xx

Oh em, I hope it's your BFP. Don't worry about inlaws, it's amazing how "quiet" you can be during BD if you have to be!

Oh hun, i'm a pessimist at heart too so i know how you feel but my hubby is always on at me to be more positive!! I guess it's just a case of striking the right balance.

I think bumps loook beautiful in most things - i cant wait to show mine off!! xx

I'm actually a total cock-eyed optimist, but really trying to rein myself in - this is cycle 12 of TTC (although it's only been 10 months - the advantage of having short cycles!) and I've got my hopes up so many times now that I kind of want a month off from all the waiting and hoping. Mind you, I'm sure I'll be symptom-spotting by the end of this week - I'm incorrigible!

I have done a couple of things to try to coax my BFP along - like yesterday I bought two new dresses for all the family parties around the time of my brother's wedding in July, and one of them in particular has absolutely NO spare room in it! Plus booked a totally impractical holiday in Spain and bought a job lot of tampons at Costco. Surely sod's law says I HAVE to get my BFP after all that... (but I'm not getting my hopes up, honest!) x
