please join me on the new thread i've posted above x

Hi everyone

Im going to move this thread elsewhere cause it's getting too long, so will post the link in a sec when i remember how to do it lol

ps congrats irish!!!

Just checking in... it's so hard to keep up with these long threads sometimes!

Forgot to add - I can't believe how quickly all the madness comes back - symptom spotting, late or weird periods etc etc

Not that I am symptom spotting

Hey ladies,

Congratulations Irishfairy - you weren't on here very long were you??

I've got nothing to report so far, have checked my diary and it would appear that AF visited on 26th September for the usual amount of time, but then reappeared for a few days on October 9th. So maybe it was just a really early period?? I am not getting my hopes up anyway.

I haven't got any tests in the house. So no testing for me. Haven't said anything to DP yet as I don't know what is going on.

hope everyone else is doing well

Thanks everyone!!! Another positive test this morning so a BFP for me!
I'm so excited and really feeling pg now, lots of symptoms today like cramping, tiredness, headache and feeling on and off either sick or starving

Good luck to everyone else... sending baby dust and wishes your way xxxx

Irishfairy - how did it go?! They say it's very difficult to get a "false" positive so well done you!

IrishFairy Thats fantastic news!!!!

A line is a line after all!!

CONGRATULATIONS XXXXXX

Thanks Kaylo!

I was on holiday visiting my family and friends back home until yesterday so that distracted me enough to refrain from testing!

Gave in this afternoon though and got a faint but definite line on First Response!!!

Going to test again first thing in the morning to make sure... don't know how I'll sleep tonight with the excitement!

Yes Seany KayloSpellChecker would have made more sense

<<starts chanting to Ant>> test test test test test test....
We wanna know!!!

IrishFairy Welcome to the thread - you're a stronger gal than e I'd have been testing a week by now...

Wish I was a bit further along than cd4 [frustrated emoticon]. I wanna symptom spot and test for england!!


Not a jot to update from me I'm afraid. AF has gone now kicked her out this evening.
Just a few more days before I start pouncing on dh now

Morning,

Yes very well today. Just come back from a very relaxing few days away... Hopefully that has gone some way to boosting my fertility

It seems like an eternity before I can test but glad to hear I'm not the only one with hat feeling... Best of luck to those in the "zone". Blue lines all round!

Hi all!

Mind if I join this thread too?

I'm 25 and just started trying for first child this month! Only a couple of days to go until I am late and trying to be good and not test early.
Haven't had any symptoms at all though so thinking maybe not for this month

These threads have really helped me from going round the twist during the tww! Thanks

Hey ladies,

I am not not not getting my hopes up, still nothing here. Feel a bit iffy, but that could mean that the witch is on her way. Am going to check my calendar, see where I am.
I never had any implantation bleeding when I had DS (but i wasn't looking for it)

I think I will see what my calendar says and go from there - just need to find it now

Welcome Jumble - good luck here.

Hope everyone else is well.

Hey girlies

congrats harmony!!!

Any word ant? kaylo is right it does sound like implantation...Fingers crossed for you xx

kaylo you should have changed your name to Kaylospellchecker since you're always complaining about your spelling

Welcome jumble and best of luck!

How is everyone today??

Ha! She does have a way of just turning up like that! Whatever happened to manners?

x x x x

Hi and welcome jumblequeen

I know what you mean about having high hopes - I just about convinced myself that I was pregnant then AF showed up.

NOT impressive at all - she must not have gotten my memo about her not being invited!!!

xxxxxx

Hello all,

What a lovely and welcoming thread! Hope you don't mind if I join...

I'm 26 and in month two of TTC - I had high hopes for month one and only feel a little bit sad that it didn't happen... I suppose I've just spent so long trying not to get pg that I just assumed it would happen immediately!

Fingers crossed for everyone x

Ant....implantation?????

<<hopes and prays that it is>>

Hey everyone, I'm back... Finally got a BFP and am so excited... Done three tests and all say the same, I am PREGNANT!!! Good luck to everyone else!!!! x x x

Hey ladies,

Still nothing to report from me. I did feel like AF was on her way, and I had a pinkish tinge when I wiped on monday and tuesday(sorry tmi) But nothing since then.... will just have to wait and see.

We are getting someone round to sort the plumbing problems, hopefully next week.

I dont know if anyone wants to do a list or if we will be bothered enough to keep it up

Kaylo - with any luck, when you get pg next - you can relocate to make way for new baby

Welcome Gina - Good luck here.

Awww, thank you for welcoming me back

Am gonna try to catch up with whats been going on:-

Sounds good for you Blues although you probably know that by now congratulations - hope it's sticky.

Katie Sorry to hear of your termination, what must you have gone/be going thru? Big hugs to you honey. xx

Seany A familiar 'face'!!! How are you? Am so at your new house. I soooo want to move to a bigger new house but dh is not agreeable to say the least. Hope the move goes smoothly for you chick.

Ant Another familar 'face'! How are you? Hope the house problems are clearing up, and also hope you are pg!!

Cycle Day 2 for me, AF caught me yesterday. What a biatch ruining peoples happiness. Hmph. I'll show her, I'm banishing her away - am Hoping an August baby is on the cards

welcome gina good luck xx

hi
can i join this thread? or is it to late
xx

Hey Kaylo!!

Welcome back

Hopefully you won't be here too long.

Seany - I feel more positive this time round - no idea why. That sounds rubbish about your periods coming back on after a couple of days, I was having something similar before, but with a week or so in between periods. It was hellish, not knowing if they were gone or not. Hope you get it sorted out.

New house, ooooooooooh. Are you moving far? Our house is brill, but we have been having a few problems with the plumbing. Toilets filling up (nice) and apparently there is a water leak somewhere that the council have picked up on and want us to sort - it's all going on. Thankfully, we only rent not own it.

AF has not made an appearance yet - don't worry I am in now way deluding myself here about being pg, if only it were that easy

I fell off the thread - can I come back please?

(I was formerly Kaylo but have namechanged for Halloween )

xxx

Hey Ant, you sound a lot more positive and relaxed about it all, which is always a good thing

My hormones must be all over the place at the mo cause my period ended 2 days ago and now it has started again, along with cramps. Don't know what is going on so hopefully i get some answers next week.

I have been very weepy today cause i found out last nite my sil is pregnant with her 6th child. obv i am very pleased for her but i am upset at seeing pg women everywhere i turn-thats 2 sil's pg, my auntie and my friend in work

Anyway on a more positive note i am moving house in a few weeks Woohoo, can't wait, its a brand new house and a fresh start for the 3 of us.

How are you liking your new house?

Hi Seany

I was beginning to think I was on my own here.
Good to see that things are moving forward for you, I'm sure the tests will be a walk in the park

Not much happening with me, with all our time ttc DP and I had a lot of time to talk about what we want etc....so here I am.

Think AF is on her way anyway (wasn't holding out much hope for this month) So will start properly next month.

obv i meant to write i waited 7 weeks, not waiting

Welcome back Ant . How are things with you?

Hello to everyone else. I disappeared for such a long time because I hoped a wee break might help-obv not lol so i have name changed to suit my mood..

Well just an update on me.. I have my hospital app on the 30th of this month to check why im not ov, check for pcos and for all sorts of other tests, which i am absolutely bricking myself about..I waiting 7 weeks from referral until the letter came, so now that the date is looming im scared about what they will find, though also hopeful that i may get some answers, and that will get some good baby news in the near future.

How is everyone else doing?

Congrats to all who got their bfps!!

Hey ladies,

Was wondering if anyone was still up for the TTC lark.

I am officially back on the wagon!!!

Where has everyone gone?????

Hi all - need some thoughts here! I POAS this morning but only an ebay cheapie and got a faint line what do you think? Crappy test or posibly a BFP????

Have sent a friend out to buy a first response or a clear blue today while I'm at work! Any thoughts anyone??

Hey Katie,

Sorry to hear about your termination, I can understand you being very upset. It is good that you are looking to the future though and are already thinking about trying again.

My name is Becky and I am 21 and currently TTC, not having much luck so far ...

Hope everyone else is well?

x x x x

Hi Girls,

I wonder if you would mind if joined you here?

I had a termination a month ago at 14 weeks when my scan revealed that my baby had severe abnormalities and was incompatible with life.

We are so very, very sad (it was my first pg) but would like to TTC again soon. Currently waiting for my AF - god knows when she will arrive. I've been told that i might have irregular cycles for the next few months so it might take me a while!

I hope you are all well,

Katie xx

Hey everyone... Just read all your posts from way-back-when. I am so sorry to hear about your MC Kaylo but good luck for the future.

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful this month... I myself was hoping that I'd be getting a BFP this month. But sadly AF has reared her ugly head! I was thinking it might have been implantation bleeding to start with, as it was so light (which is very unlike my periods) but it was not so! The good news is that since I have had the contraceptive implant removed I have had regular periods each 27/28 days apart so at least I can actually start calculating when I'm ovulating etc... Try again this month I guess!!

Hope everyone is well?

my wink didn't work!!

Hi April <<waves>>

I never saw the doctor with dd or ds. Straight to midwife.

Obv this was different but had it have been a successful pregnancy I would have gone straight to midwife again. It should have been my booking in appointment today at 11:15. T'was so sad - I sat there watching the clock thinking about what questions I would be asked/answering. What MW would be writing in my notes.

I'm trying really really hard not to think like this but my brain does not want to disengage!![frustrated emoticon]

Ok...lets think positively...WE WILL ALL BE BLOODY PREGNANT VERY SOON AND BE GRADUATING TO ANTE-NATAL. BEFORE APRIL MOVES OVER!!! [WINK]

Just kidding April, hope all goes well with the doctors on Thurs. Bet he tells you to call midwife

Kaylo I'm still here! So So sorry about your mc, glad your ok tho and ready to jump back on the ttc rollercoster. Not moved on to the ante-natal yet, still can't belive it! Seeing the doctor thursday, what do they do? I cant remenber what happened last time, throught i saw the midwife first

Where are you all?

Is anyone still TTC?
Or have you deserted me?

Thanks Guys!

Hollyoaks Thats exactly how I'm viewing it!! My mum recently went on holiday to Devon and wished a a special stone (I'm the whole story is better but I'm shortening it ) Anyway...she wished for dh and me to have a healthy baby, so we're thinking thats why I mc'd. We don't think it was a healthy pregnancy. The next one will stick - I'm certain, and it's not gonna take long either.

We're all gonna be graduating with BFP's onto ante-natal. At the same time. So there...

kaylo so sorry to hear your news, I really wasn't expecting that outcome. It seems cruel to say that everything happens for a reason, but maybe it means your next pg was the one that was meant to be. Good luck for next month, hope to see you on antenatal soon.

Just popped back to say hello to you all..

kaylo i am so so sorry-hope your ok.sending loads of hugs your way.xx

whitty sorry to hear of your mc-keep your chin up.Hope you get some good news soon xx

April, Hollyoaks and Den-congratulations you lucky ducks!!!!!!!!!!!!xx

Hopefully hear from you soon Kaylo - best wishes

Oooh, DEN congratualtions - we've just traded places I think

xxx

Can I come back and join you please?

Miscarriage was confirmed today - I'm ok about it - I've done my crying and I'm ready to start to TTC rollercoaster again.

My stats
Kaylo - age 24, TTC#3. Cycle 1 (when I actually figure that out after this darn mc!!)

xxx

Den Does the digital test not measure from conception and the medics will date from first day of last period. If thats the case the scan and digital test would be about similar I think! Think I'll have to wait till 12 weeks and I know it won't seem really real until then.

april MN calculator says 28th for me too, midwife said 27th but didnt take into account cycle length. I'll go with midwife though as her dates earlier I would imagine you'll be under consultant care as ds came early. I've been referred for high bp towards the end of my last pg which didn't really cause any problems.

Thanks April i'm using the old "i'm driving" line (not very imaginative!!)

I did the MN calculator and it says 16th May!! This is the first time i've actually thought about when i'm due with everything going on - how exciting!!!

He He! Thanks hollyoaks, not much to see yet but atleast i am reassured fo rthe minute. Have another scan in 2 weeks to monitor things. Are you able to get an early scan or do you have to wait for 12 weeks? It sucks eh?! ;)

Bit confused about dates as doc worked out that i am 6 weeks, the igital test says 2-3 weeks and the nurse who scanned yest said she thinks 4.5weeks!!!! I'll go with scan for minute!! Have to get on the due date calendar!

Hollyoaks Wow! Notes already! I want some! Got a CBD in tesco today so going to use it in the morning. It's worth spending £10 when your pretty such it will be postive! Wondering if the doc's will keep closer eye on me this time as DS was 6 weeks early? Did the MN calculator and it says 28th may! How about you?
So sorry about your nephew

Kaylo Good luck for tomorrow, thinking of you

Den26 Thats fab news! So pleased for you! I know what you mean 12 week scan will take ages to come around! Cant wait!!!!

I'm off to a wedding tomorrow, its going to be so hard to hide the fact i wont be drinking! Any tips? xxx

Den26 congratulations

I'm so pleased everything went well. I'm 5 weeks today so we're very close together. You must be due around the end of May too. See you on the May antenatal. Jealous you got to see your little on so early on

Hi All, April and Hollyoaks congratulations!!!

I thought i would update you...
Went for ultrasound scan yesterday. Staff very apologetic that they had missed the molar pregnancy and re looked at the scans. They all thought it was a 'normal miscarriage' so there was no follow-up monitoring of hormone levels. The ultrasound showed that i was pregnant again and no left over tissue was noted from previous pregnancy which is good.

They did an internal scan to make sure and all was very positive. They said i am around 4.5 weeks pregnant and no signs of molar issue which is great, i also had a negative pregnancy test around 4-5 weeks ago which they said was encouraging as hormone levels must have been very low.

They will scan me more regularly just to make sure and they reassured me that there is no more risk to this new prgnancy than any other, so fingers crossed all goes well this time.

Its nerve wracking when its so early on - 12 weeks is soooo long...

April went to see midwife yesterday, it was meant to be a group session to get us our booking in appointments and handout information etc... but I was the only one who turned up so had my booking in appointment and bloods done then. Now I have my maternity notes it feels really real. I also have an appointment with the GYN consultant as I had high blood pressure last pg and an appointment with a councellor to discuss my last labour and the loss of my nephew last year.

You can work out your dates using the MN dd calculator, its the same as what the gp will use.

kaylo hope friday comes quickly for you. I haven't read the May thread yet, but hope your ok. Have you stopped bleeding?

April WOW congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Scan is on Friday now. Will update you all when I know something.

xxxxxx

hollyoaks Feeling a bit crappy myself! boobs getting sore too! My spotting seems to have stopped to now. Its now the long long wait for 12 week scan. Have you been to the doc's yet?
Really want to tell the world i hate secrets!!
I have no idea when due, DS was 6 weeks early so could even be April! Might go to doc's next week they can work it out.
I'll keep an eye on the may antenatal just incase, thanks.

April I did three all over the weekend though all three were faint but lines were definately visible. Still had no bleeding and feel like crap so still pg based upon that. I don't think it feels real until the first scan anyway.

Good luck keeping you secret, I managed three days!

Come and join us on the May antenatal or are you due in June?

Den Really sorry to hear your news but there is still hope and i've got my fingers crossed for you! Never heard of a molar pg, sorry i'm no help!

hollyoaks Have you tested again? or are you planning to? I did another cheapie this am with first morning wee wee. There is def a second line and it was darker then yesterdays!!!!(Still v faint tho) Think i'm going to do a CBD at the weekend or maybe friday if i can wait that long!!!!!!!!!! cant help getting excited!! Never throught it would happen this quickly (3 months!) It took 9 months with ds! It must be nice to have a sister to chat too, DH dose not want anyone to know untill 12 weeks not even my mum and dad!!!!! So you girls will have to hear everything!

April congratulations . My line was also v v v faint but I showed it to my sister who saw the line too (so I wasn't imagining it). Hope your feeling well.

Den26 I'm so sorry to see that your having a tough time. I know nothing about molar pg so can't offer you any advice but hope that its really the bfp that your looking for.

kaylo heres some more support from the ttc board. Hope the scan on Thursday gives you some reassurance. Your latest news seemed positive. All of my fingers and twos are crossed for you.

Hi All!!! I joined the thread at the beginning of the month but have been away on holiday in greece. While on holiday i had a missed AF so tested with a greek kit (thankfully had english intructions!!) it was positive - (digital test in UK said 2-3wks) i was totally delighted until i got home today...

Opened a letter from my gynae consultant saying that my MMC in july has been diagnosed as a partial molar pregnancy now i dont know what to think as i should have been gettin gregular hormone tests and it is strongly recommended for you to wait 6 months after normal levels (at least) before TTC as the tissue can grow back and there is a risk of it being cancerous (although very slim with partial molar) i am now so frightened at a time i should be excited.

I am booked in for blood test and scan tomorrow. I may not even be pregnant, it may be the tissue growing back. Has anyone undergone something similar?

Thanks

Kaylo- I have everything crossed for you!!!! When i was pg with ds i bleed for two weeks and had an early scan. Try not to feel to down untill you know for sure, easy to say hard to do i know. As for the test they can be wrong. Good luck for thurs, will be thinking of you.

Bigbird- Welcome! Think we have all gone a little crazy on here so your fit in well! Its an exciting time and i too have used loads of tests! Have you tryed ebay? get lots of cheap ones!

I've just tested again! Was going to wait till thurs or fri ops!!!! I THINK i've just had a BFP I used a cheap ebay test and there is a very very very faint second line!!! Left it on the table for DH to find while i'm at work, best get him to check incase i'm seeing things!!!!!!!

Hi all I am a newbie! Been reading threads but never messaged before. I am 6dpo and I was sure I had cramps but no spotting I am shattered but work in a stressful job and have been ttc for 5 months any slight change
I seem to go omg I'm pg but then not...people tell me to chill out but each month I don't av the patience and have used so many tests! Am I going crazy? :0

April I'll be totally honest and say I don't feel pregnant at all. In fact I may be coming back to conception - I started bleeding last night and am still bleeding now. Am very very sad and I'm terrified. I did a CBD and it says the same thing it said a week and half ago - which to me isn't a good sign, says 1-2 pregnant. Should have gone up by now

I know that wasn't the answer you expected and I'm sorry to be depressing on what is a very exciting time for all of you waiting to find out if it's a BFP or not.

I wish you all the luck and babydust in the world. I may come back in a while when I know whats happening - got an early pg scan on Thurs so will keep you posted.

xxxx

hollyoaks I tested saturday with an ebay cheapie and got a BFN. But saying that i did bleed like this for 2 weeks when pg with DS.
Going to hold off testing again till maybe thurs or fri, We are of to a wedding friday so best test before then as i will probably have a drink or two!!!

kaylo how are you feeling? morning sickness kicked in yet?!

Whitty So sad for you!! I know my hormones are all over the place but have cried buckets reading through posts that I've missed.

Am so glad you're ok and able see positive points of such a loss. I'll be honest and say you're stronger than I!! All the best darling.

xxx

april that sounds like implantation bleeding which can be browner in colour. When are you due to test?

Right girls this might be a bit TMI but I'm not sure whats going on!!! I thought AF had got me yesterday morning but still not here properly yet. Just been spotting and its really dark like its old blood. Also dont have the really bad pains as normal, just a bit of backache.
What dose that mean?!
Starting to go a bit crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Where is everyone these days?!

April Yeah it was me on the June bus, got my bfp on Thursday night but wasnt convinced as line was so faint so retested again over the weekend. This time the line was stronger but still faint so will go to gp on Monday. Showed ds the pg test and she saw the line as well so not imagining it.

Try another test if af doesn't arrive by Mon/Tues just in case your hormone levels weren't high enough. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and everyone else.

I was so excited about hollyoaks BFP, that I ran off to test too! BFN for me tho Dont know whats going on with my cycle its now day 30!
Might start doing the temp thing not sure how it works tho!! Oh well come on af show yourself lets get it over with!

hollyoaks- Is that you on the June bus!?! I've just been looking at other threads!
A BFP!!!! Congraulations!!!!

Thanks Hollyoaks - that's what we've done in the end, we couldn't be bothered with condoms etc. It was really odd to have deliberately unprotected sex for the first time ever! Vvvv exciting. I can't help myself telling half my friends that we're TTC - oh well.

April I think my af is due either Friday or Sunday . Like you I don't feel pg just a bit crampy and dh reckons I've got PMT but I feel ok. I don't remember how I felt when pg with dd, I know I didn't feel different but don't remember if I had signs of af. I just remember being totally shocked after ttc for 6 months.

Fingers crossed for you and everyone else.

WHITTY So sorry for your loss, but it's good that you are looking on the bright side of things...

I am on CD 16 so have a while to wait and see if AF arrives or not, I have my fingers crossed that she won't and that I'll be buying a pregnancy test next month!

Good luck to everyone!

April80 I have my fingers crossed for you! You mention 'feeling normal', you don't always 'feel' pregnant (I didn't have a clue I was pregnant until 6 months down the line my first child) so you never know you could be in for some good luck this month... Really hope you get a BFP!

Speak soon everyone!!!

Whitty- I'm so sorry to hear your news but as hollyoaks said i'm glad you can see the sliver lining

Hollyoaks- I'm not really sure when af is due!! I'm on cd 27 and did think that my cycle was 28-30 days but last month it was 36 days! I guess i'll just have to wait and see. Feel normal and dont think i'm pg and if i'm not i'm going to do my very best to get up the duff next cycle!! fingers crossed for you! xx

WWAB I'm so sorry, I'm glad you can see the silver lining after such a loss. Please come and talk if you think it will help.

April80 Fingers crossed for you. When's af due? I think I'm due around Friday, but have mo idea if I'm pg or not.

Sorry I went MIA...I had a miscairage Im ok...because at least I know I can concieve

I'm still here!!!

No news from me tho. Expecting AF any day now, even with all the honeymoon action not feeling that there will be a BFP for any time soon.

Where is everyone!!!!

Hellllooooo, were have you all gone? Any news?

April80 I'm pleased you had a good honeymoon, maybe the opks you used were duds (?).

I'm back!!!

Kaylo Congratulations!!!! I knew the minute i was away this would happen!! So pleased for you!

Welcome all newbees!

I have nothing to report other than we had a fab honeymoon!!!!
Used Opk every day since cd8 its now cd24 and had no +. Thats not good

Good luck EmNotPGYet I had the same dilemma when I came off the pill when ttc dd but we just went for it with no delay to get my cycle back to normal

Hello everyone! I'm 29 (so just qualify here) and my husband and I have just decided to TTC - he works in politics so wants to make sure there's no risk of next year's general election and a baby coinciding, but we reckon we'll start next month. I'm due to start my next pack of the pill on Thursday (have been on it solidly for 9.5 years) but am thiking of not taking it and using condoms for a month instead to get myself back to normal. Pros of this - I've heard that lots of people coming off Microgynon lose weight and their sex drive increases, which would be amazing! Cons - i've also heard there is a fertility boost the first month off the pill which I'd be loathe to miss out on. Decisions, decisions... either way next month we'll be on our way!

Harmonyb23 it sounds like your cycle may not have settled since coming off contraception, it can take a few months to settle down. On the other hand it may be early signs of pg, only time will tell. Good luck

I've been feeling sick every morning this week . I don't know what's going on... I started my period the other day and then it stopped rather abruptly... I am a bit worried that something is wrong with me, maybe it's because I have just come off of contraception for the first time in 5 years...?

Anyway how is everyone? Hope everything is going well for those who have already managed to conceive and for those who haven't yet how's it going?

x x x

Thats the Spirit!!!!

Kaylo your right about the heads of department, I really dont care what they think. I'll hopefully off on maternity leave and won't be thinking twice about work whilst I'm away. Cant wait.

Hey ladies...still no af...la la la I wake up every morning looking for it...Im always hungry now but doesnt seem unusual Im a little fatty LOL...but last nite I want potatoes rice and cucumbers with dressing...LOL yummy anywho hope all is well

kaylo thanks I want her vacation to be that long too

Hi girls

Hollyoaks Who gives a s**t what the head of dept says - it's their problem not yours. I think it's quite out of order of them tbh.
You don't additional stress from them when you're TTC!!

whitty Not to be taken the wrong way but I hope you're waiting a looooong time for AF, like maybe 9months or so

I don't feel pregnant yet - just very very very tired!! I've totally lost my appetite cos this have started making my stomach twist so I think morning sickness is on it's way. bleurgh, I'm green at gills just thinking about it But pleased as well as means things are going well, all the icky things are really good things I guess - good job they're temporary tho - couldn't cope with 9month tiredness and sickness!!!

Hope you ladies are in receipt of some nice well deserved BFP's this month

xxxx

Hi BSF just responded to you on the June bus, like I said I've still got my fingers crossed for you.

So pleased to be back at school [sarcasm emoticon] what with all of the meetings, a new school day made up of *6 lessons* to get to grips with, a new GCSE course to plan for as well as having no laptop therefore no printer or internet access. I'm stressed already and the kids aren't all back until tomorrow. Don't know when I'l get time to make a baby.

As well as all that our new chemistry teacher has announced she's 3 months pg and will be leaving in Feb to have baby. That didnt go down well with the head and head of science. Not sure how they'll feel about two members of the same department being on maternity leave but I suppose thats for them to worry about.

Rant over, how are you? How has work been this week?

Hey all how is everyone kaylo how are things...blue what is your normal cycle legnth?

Update on me nothing LOL waiting for AF and my temp to drop and my Drs. appointment. I just realized that if Im pregnant my lovely fiance will be gone the whole month of JUNE 2010 for training this sucks I would be all alone...what would I do with my first child OMG...panicking already

Anywho hope everyone is well

Hi all hollyoaks how is school? I can't keep up with MN now that we are back with the children!

Anyway think I'm on CD32 and still no AF but got cramps so think it's on its way - that and the BFN that I got this morning kinda suggests that this month isn't the one. Hope next month is different but guess we'll see

Snap, dd is 19mo and just starting to enter childhood rather than being a baby. I'm similar and missing my bump and the baby stage. Can't believe its over already, sort of sad that this may be the start of the last time as well, unless I can persuade dh to go for #3.

DS is 19mo. Just starting to talk more than the odd word and not too far into tantrums (he throws himself to the floor and kicks his legs and screams for about 15 seconds then gets fed up) so good fun!

I'm very broody though and reminiscent about that newborn stage, as I expect everyone here who has done it before is.

Hi Chairmum good luck on #2. How old is your ds?

Hello all, can I join in?

We had a mad moment last month and when we realised I was probably ovulating decided to go for it for a few days. It turned out not to be, but I felt really rough and quite sick for a while, and now am quite embarrassed because I was convinced I was pregnant and spent a small fortune on those early tests.

I'm 29 so I still just qualify

I also have never deliberately TTC (DS was a fortunate but very wanted mishap) so all of the stuff about ovulation dates and temperatures is new to me. I shall need to start reading.

I've had a strange day today. I'm sure i ovulated yesterday as I had sharp pain in my lower left side front and back. It was so painful me and dh didnt do the deed though we made up for it this morning. Felt fine and went to work but by lunch time I felt really nauseous and dizzy and had lower abdominal cramps.

I had to leave a meeting at work and someone asked me if I was pg as I looked pale. I do feel rough but I'm sure its all phsychological and I'm symptom spotting. Can't think what it would be related to unless its ovulation-linked?

No news on me...my cervix is low and kind of firm now but my temp went up again today...so no 19 days of high temps way above my coverline...so IDK I feel normal though..

How is everyone

Kaylo ditto on the morning sickness, not looking forward to that at all. But its worth it when they arrive. I'm looking forward to when your bump starts to show and you feel great. Listen to me going on and I'm not even pg yet.

Harmony have fun, hopefully you'll not have too long to wait

whitty any news?

Hollyoaks - I am all of the above. Very excited at the moment, I have had my very first period in 3 years. This has excited me as I now know when (roughly) I will be fertile this month and am looking forward to getting down to some serious baby making with my fiance...

Thanks for the welcome Kaylo and Whitty and congratulations Kaylo what wonderful news, you must be so excited

Can't wait till I get my own BFP... So exciting...

Aaaaargh!!!! Seany Thank you so much!

I'm starting to get excited now - even more after reading your very excited post . DH keeps patting my tummy and saying "I think it's a girl, and when she's born I'll have 2 weeks off at the end of the (football) season"

I'm not quite thinking that far ahead just yet - I'm dreading morning sickness Just want to get to 12wks now so I can be scanned and dated and see my bean

Thanks again for all your kind words xxxx

Hi everyone,
just jumped on quickly to saY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kaylo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got so excited when i saw your post that i almost burst out crying!
Honestly chick im so so so pleased for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Hollyoaks I'm not sure what my due date will be - possibly end May-ish I think.

I'm desperately hoping to see some of you over on ante-natal soon - it's scary when you don't know anyone

xxx

Kaylo congratulations x x x . I'm so happy for you. When will that put your due date?

Pleased we have a +ve test on here, haven't seen one for a while. Hopefully you've got the ball rolling.

And whitty - like has been said before....it ain't over til the fat red lady sings

so keep smiling and keep the faith

Thanks Whitty - I can't help feeling like I've jumped the queue a little, I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the pregnancy/ante-natal threads very soon.

Let this BFP be the first of many!!!!

And I'm so sorry Harmony - in my earlier excitement I forgot to welcome you onto our thread - soooo WELCOME

x xx X xx x

OMG congrats Kaylo this is what we needed you fertile thing you lol....my temp is dropping slowly its 18dpo...but its still way above my coverline but I just know this isnt my month. But Kaylo congrats again honey...

harmony hi dear welcome welcome welcome....

Guess What everybody.....

I got a BFP this morning on a CB conception indicator - tells me I'm 1-2 weeks.

Still in shock - have to keep checking the test making sure I'm not misreading things

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kaylo we just went to Centre Parcs in the lakes. It rained all week and cost a fortune but we had a really good time and dd loved it. You just need a break from the norm sometimes.

April enjoy the honeymoon, I'm not jealous at all

Whitty what a puzzling cycle. Still got my fingers crossed for you.

Harmony welcome to the thread. Can't help with the implant as I've never had one but I'm sure you can get pg straight away as its out of your system immediately. However, there are loads of people on here who could probably advice you better. Good luck first time round. Are you excited, anxious, doubtful, worried, hyper, all of the above? If so you'll fit in well.

Hello everyone, I am new to this site. I am a 21 year old mother of one (DS who is 6 years old) and am trying to conceive my second child at present. Have just had the Implanon contraceptive implant removed and am not to sure how this will affect the chances of me conceiving? I am hoping that my menstrual cycle and ovulation will go back to normal. Anyway it's nice to have a place to come and air my thoughts and feelings and to get to know about others trying to conceive.

So Hello!

oooh, Whitty you sneaky thing

Blue You're right, I don't think you were on here before I disappeared - nice to 'meet' you tho!

Hollyoaks Thanks for the welcome - it's good to be back on here, where did you go?

April Just looked up Corsica cos I didn't know where it was and it looks gorgeous!! Have an amazing time

Only 5 sleeps before I can test I think I'm more excited about that then my holiday to Barcelona. I'm not even packed yet and we go a week on Wednesday Not like me....I'm one that usually packs 6months in advance!!!
My ickle DD starts school on Tuesday, full-time!! I cannot believe it, I bought all her unifirm then got a letter from school announcing girls are no longer allowed to wear skirts - must be pinafore dresses Too late to exchange/refund so had to buy all new!!!

Hey ladies just checking 17dpo still high temps....no af as of now..never know by the end of the day....kaylo the update were supposed to be still waiting but I was sneaky and used some preseed this month because he isnt using condoms. So if it hasnt been happening all this time what makes him think it will now .... but normally I have a 12 LP as of now it is 17LP so IDK...we shall see

thanks for all the luck ladies...baby dust to us all we need it

Well ladies I'm off in the morning (4am!!!) so will miss you all for a week! Fingers crossed i come back to some BFP!!

We are off to Corsica.

Still no + with the OPK and i'm now on CD16!

Good luck to everyone, back soon!!

Hi ladies, I'm back from holidays and right on time as I think I will be ovulating at some point this weekend. Pity I've got to go back to work on Monday after so much time off.

Hope you are all well.
Whitty fingers crossed for you, hopefully afs late because your pg and not just because its on your mind.

Welcome back Kaylo fingers crossed for you too. Not too long before testing.

April have a fabulous honeymoon, where are you off too? Enjoy.

Blue hope your ready for school. Probably get time to speak to you around half term .

Hi kaylo I don't think I was here when you were - only came off the pill at the end of July so haven't been here that long!

Hope your TTC goes well x

Whitty I missed you too! I've been almost rocking in a corner without MN! Stupid bloody laptop!

That horrid dear old Mother Nture is very unreliable isn't she? Best not to worry I feel - update me please, are you still trying or waiting until after the wedding? I remember you bought preseed and not much else . I'm really sorry - my minds drawn a total blank

OH YAYE kaylo I missed you so much I was becoming worried. good luck on testing...still no AF on this end gee wiz mother nature has been late for 4 days now...oh well I wont worry about it.

Hope everyone is well

Oh April I missed you all too!!

Wow, 4 pregnant friends, I just have 1, well 1 friend that is pg, I do have more than 1 friend - honest [shut up shut up shut up!!] lol

Just 2 more sleeps - are you all packed and ready? Where are you going? [I'm sorry if you've told me this already but can't remember anything from when I was last on here weeks ago, how bad is that?] And it will definitely be good for BD'ing I should think!

Hope you're well!!

xxxxx

ops! i cant spell either!!! lol!

Welcome back Kaylo we missed you!!!!
Got my fingers crossed for you!!

Just found out another friend is preganat! thats 4!!!(oh please be my month)

Only 2 more sleeps till honeymoon!!! Thats got to be good for the baby making, right?!

ooops - was supposed to say charger wire

some things never change....lol

Hi Everyone - geeez you guys took some finding

My laptop decided to melt the carger wire and have been waiting weeks for the replacement to be delivered.

Am officially TTC now, Think on my last post all those moons ago it was the week before last AF, well I'm on the 2ww - testing 10th Sept but very very tempted to go and buy a first response to test today. supposedly they give a result 6days before AF?
Anyone know if this is true and accurate?

How is everyone? Havent read thru all the posts as there a gazillion but will try to read thru last few days

whitty it's not over til the red lady sings! Good luck

I tested this morning with an ebay cheapy and got a BFN so think I'll be rolling over to cycle 3 soon. Af due Sunday ish so I guess I'll wait til then and see what happens.

Good luck all

whitty I thought you were going to wait until the 21st?!?
I think you may have tested to early so don't give up yet!! There is still hope!

I'm still doing my OPK, i'm on CD 13 and no luck as yet.

How is everyone? Anyone getting close to testing?

xxxxxx

Hey ladies just wanted to let you know I have gotten 2 BFN tested yesterday afternoon and today when I got off work. I'am now supposedly 14 dpo according to fertility friend. So I'm a little discouraged think I'm done testing for now.

Morning everyone - glad it's been quiet here over the weekend cos it means that it was easy to catch up on all the gossip.

Hope everyone had a good weekend

Whitty keeping fingers crossed for you x

April hope it goes well for you

Hey april thanks for the support...your not alone I just found out my younger cousin is now pregnant she is 3 years younger then I which is rediculout...so trust I know the feeling. But trust our turns will come when the time is right. I hope your honeymoon is filled with baby dust.

How is everyone?

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone has had a good bank holiday weekend.

Whitty it all sounds promising, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Im on CD 11 and have started my OPK, nothing to report yet tho. Going to start BDing anyway, you never no!
Found out today that my sister in law is pg, she told me they were going to start TTC about 12 weeks ago and she is 12 weeks pg. Really pleased for them, i had a feeling it wouldnt take them long!
Feeling a bit down,why cant we get pg first time!!!Thats now 3 people we know!

On a happier note we are off on our honeymoon next sunday! I am so hoping that we make a honeymoon baby!!!

Well my normal luteal phase is 12 days...but since I ovulate early this month I'm not sure what to expect. Im currently 11 dpo today. So I wont test for another week I dont want to go out buy a test then..BAM the witch comes.

I honestly want to wait until my drs. appt on the 21st of September this way she could confirm everything and get my first scan

We shall see...how is everyone these days

Whitty any news to report? Is it time to test yet?

Good luck with that whitty - glad you know what you are doing!

Whitty you seem like you know your stuff. All those temps look promising, good luck

Hope everyone is well.

LOL thank you ladies...uhm just some info if your temp stays high for 18 days of ovulation is good...some say dips are cause by implantation. I have been charting for 6 cycles now and this is the first major dip ever...but this month I dont even recall if I BD'd around ovulation. So I will wait til day 12 which supposed to be the end of my normal luteal phase and we shall see. I have a drs. appt on the 21st of september I will wait til then. If I'am with child I will be six weeks just in time for a scan. he he he.

lots of baby dust to all

Hey Whitty - sorry i'm not much help either afraid

LOL hollyoaks love the legs in the air and bum on a pillow!!

whitty sorry I don't know anything about temping - we aren't yet so haven't tried to find out about it yet. You could try joining the May Bus thread and ask over there as there seems to be more people temping and using OPK's (not sure I know much about those either!). There might be someone over there who can throw some light on the temps for you?! Hope you find out soem answers and that they are all ok

I'm a bit puzzled when it comes to temping, is the fact that its staying high since you ovulated not a good thing? Not sure about the dip on dpo 5 though.

Sorry I'm not much help but didnt want to leave you stranded.

Well I officially started ttc last night, legs in the air, bum on a pillow and all that. I dont ovulate till next week but we thought we'd get the practise in.

So I want someones opinion on my temps...after ovulation doesnt it sound weird why that much of a dip on 5 dpo its the lowest Ive gone this cycle.

My cover line is 97.7

dpo 1-97.9
dpo 2-98.0
dpo 3-97.9
dpo 4-97.9
dpo 5-97.3
dpo 6-97.7
dpo 7-09.7
dpo 8-97.9

Thanks ladies

Hey ladies just dropping through...not feeling to well kind of feel like im on a boat...anywho hope all is well

Geez so I'm still the youngest oh well...you would never know it.

Hi Bluesnowfalcon and Hollyoaks, thanks.

Bluesnowfalcon, i have to agree, i have found it to be very supportive over last few months.

First time TTC how exciting!! We weren't really trying last time although not being very careful, decided to let it happen if it happens. Now we've experienced it, we know its definately what we want, so fingers crossed it happens soon!

Good luck to both of you

Since you have all added your ages, im 26 (as you can probaby guess by my username!)

Den26 welcome and good luck, hope it all goes well second time around.

Whitty I'm 27, turning 28 at the start of next year. So your still the youngest.

Den26 hi and welcome - i'm realatively new to this too and have found that the information and support is really useful!

Not in the same situation as you as we are just TTC #1 but I hope all goes well for you

Hi All, i hope you don't mind me popping in! I'm all very new to this. Had a miscarriage 2 months ago and now TTC again. Have been in two minds about joining incase i become too obsessed, but it really helps to hear others in the same situ! Thought i would say hi and also see if anyone else has similar feelings?

aww so that makes me the baby then LOL...22 december 31

whitty- i'm fine thanks Just coming to the end of af and looking forward to using my OPK and my honeymoon (6th sept)!

As for the age thing i'm probably the eldest i'm 29!

whitty I'm 28 on the 3rd sep!

Im ok ladies...Kaylo has left and gone a BDing spree lol geez you guys can stop now just kidding

april how are you these days?

ibble, holly, blue are you all in your twenties as well...I want to know who is the youngest on here?

Hi all,
Welcome Ibble, Blue and Holly fingers crossed for BFP all round! There has been a big lack of them so lets hope! Babydust babydust

whitty- Chin up girl. I hope your feeling better today. x

Seany- Don't stay away to long, we miss you already

Kaylo- Where have you gone!!!!!!!

Thanks holly, I will try and seany...I will miss you dear come back soon ok....I promise I will be here LOL

Seany sorry to hear that your leaving us, but it sounds like you need to have a break. Stress affects the baby-making hormones and won't help in your efforts to conceive. Maybe when you relax and take some time you can come back to ttc and get a more positive result (no pun intended).

whitty the grass is always greener, I bet some of your friends wished they had a better job, a home, a fiance, a wedding to plan etc.... When you get your bfp it will all fall into place. Try to keep your chin up.

Hey ladies, but I'm feeling down since everyone around is pregnant...its like you can do 10 things better then your friends and them getting pregnant still over powers things...like all my friends that have kids arent married, or arent with the childs father, or they live at home with there parents etc...and for me, I'm on my own, great paying job, bout to get married...soon to be hubby has a great job..but they still seem to have gotten the end of the stick I want sometimes...

Sorry ladies kind of down now.

seanybosmummy sorry to hear you are leaving as I'm arriving but I hope everything works out ok for you keep if you can x

Hiya girls

Welcome bluesnow-good luck!!

Just popped in on my lunchbreak to say hi and let you all know that i think im going to take a little break for a while, as everything is getting on top of me too much, and making me feel more and more miserable each day

I will lurk now and again to see how you are all getting one. Will miss you all, but hopefully when i come back you will all have some nice bfps.

whitty hope your wedding plans go well, you must be so excited

Bye for now, and good luck to everyone <<sends big hugs all round>>

Hey everyone, welcome all new...sorry was MIA for a little while...anywho just changed the date of the wedding as I' am eager now January 8, 2010 yaye so excited...hope everyone is BDing nicely.

As for me I'm temping and my chart says I ovulated on day 12 and my temp dropped from 97.9 to 97.3 this morning I was like geeeez.

Hope everyone has a productive day.

Good luck to you as well

Its my wedding anniversary on the 4th so there will be plenty of ttc that weekend. .

Good luck this month.

I'm on CD17 so think i've ovulated this weekend ish so now in to the 2ww and af due roughly 5th but thinking i might test on 3rd as it's my birthday and I can't think of a better birthday pressie

Stay in touch - good to speak to another teacher ttc!

I'm on cd 5 so af just leaving (hopefully for a long time), will be ovulating early September and testing around the 20th September. How exciting hadn't thought about when I would be testing until just now.

at buying ginger snaps, I was inundated with them by work colleagues when I couldnt keep the ms under wraps. The thought of them still makes me wretch, it was rich teas and dairy milk for me for the first 4 months and that was it! Only positive was I lost a stone and have kept it off ever since.

Had kind of thought about it but it's a bit easier in primary! I've tried to arrange it so that I've got a TA in class with me as much of the day as possible and we have a diabled/staff toilet outside my classroom so I wouldn't have to run far.

I would have to confide in my partner teacher in year 5 so that he could keep an eye out for me while I was sick but other than that thinking it should be ok.

Did buy a pack of wheat free ginger snaps at the weekend in preparation! I know that is wishful thinking but saw them and bought on impulse

When is your af due? Or when will you be testing?

ms = morning sickness

Its been on my mind a lot, I had constant nausea with dd up until about 16 weeks but luckily most of it was over the second half of the summer term and summer hols so not much going on and not many classes in a secondary school. Seemed to snap out of it by September and work was fine until I went on maternity at the start of the spring term. This time round, if we hit the bullseye fairly quickly, ms will hit over this next term when teaching is pretty full-on, worried about leaving classes and running for loo or breaking science lab rules and munching rich teas in class . Just wondered if you had thought about this and now I'm thinking I have just added another worry to your (probably) already huge pile of worries.

Hollyoaks ms? I'm hoping for a BFP to get rid of one of the new ones coming up - done two years of being kicked, bitten and punched think I'm due an easier class!

I'm guessing that the swine flu might get me too once we are back in the swing of it what with all those snotty noses around! Although did see my brother while he was ill and my DP works with him and we were both fine, so maybe I won't get it

I'm a teacher too! though there does seem to be a lot of us on MN. How do you think you'll cope with the ms this term? <<fingers crossed its this term iyswim>>

Thanks for the info on swine flu, I am a little worried about it, sort of expecting to get it over the winter due to working in a school and being exposed to lots of people.

Thanks for that Hollyoaks. I go back to work as a teacher next week so I'm sure that will keep me busy

My SIL to be is pregnant (about 15 weeks) and had swine flu when she was about 10 weeks. She was told she could have the medication but they couldn't tell her if it would be safe to take it - she didn't risk it and after about 10 days started to feel better but was rough going while she was ill. Her 14 month old didn't catch it though but my brother did and had a lighter dose of it - he also didn't take the medication.

Hope that helps hollyoaks

bluesnowfalcon we are around the same age but I'm ttc #2. Good luck and try to keep busy and hopefully the 2ww won't be too long.

April I agree about seeing lots of pg women when ttc, though we're meant to be in a pg drought due to the swine flu epidemic (aren't we?).

Does anyone else have any concerns about swine flu and pg?

Hi all hope it's ok if I join you on this thread. I'm nearly 28 and TTC #1. We are on cycle 2 now and have ovulated this weekend I think going on dates so now in to 2ww I think

Good luck all and hopefully we'll have some BFP's soon

Seany - I was saying to my DH before the weekend that the minute we start TTC the world seems to get pg first!!! Over the weekend found out two friends are pg!

Hope everyone is well and had a good weekend!

Hiya everyone,hope you're all having a good weekend.

Thanks Holly,im just putting it all to the back of my mind at the minute,though i did get upset yesterday when we bumped into an old friend of ours and she told us that herself,and 2 of her friends are pregnant. Im pleased for her obv,but i felt very depressed afterwards.
Everywhere i look i see pg women-my sil is pg, my friend has just had a baby,and also my good friend in work is pg with #3.

Ibble how are you feeling about your friends news?

Seany that must be awful for you, especially after already having one dc. I suppose you just assume everything is in working order and it will happen fairly quickly. Hopefully the drs appointment will get here quickly and you won't be too frustrated.

yes i agree with you lol i have a hen night to go to tonight and then i am going round to congratulate my friend as she has just found out she is 5 weeks pregnant!!!

Morning everyone,

April im sorry af got you but good luck for this month and i hope you have a great holiday

Ibble i think im at the tearing my hair out stage now,though im trying not to think about it and have decided to just relax about it all until my appointment arrives.We def need some more bfps to spur us all on though!!!

Does anyone have anything nice planned for the weekend?

Seany yes it is so frustrating! im ttc #2 i have a 5 year old little girl! i am almost 100% sure that it is AF now!!! oh well count down begins now lol

Hi everyone, welcome newbees

Well af has arrived and about time too! So back to start, Cycle2 CD2 TTC#2.

Looking forward to using OPK now, hoping that i ov on holiday (well its our belated honeymoon)

Fingers crossed for everyone this month (we need a BFP been ages) babydust to all!!!!!

Hiya Hollyoaks, good luck!!!

I am on cycle 16 of ttc #2,and have just found out im not ovulating ,so im waiting on an appointment for the fertility clinic at the hosp <<grins wobbly grin>>. could be november before i get one

Hi ladies, I was hoping I could join the thread. I'm on cd2 so a little bit miserable but ttc #2. This will be my first month ttc so hoping I hit the jackpot first time.

<<crosses fingers for me and everyone else on the thread>>

I sympathise completely Ibble, this ttc business is so frustrating isn't it? Is this your first time ttc?

Its been sooooo quiet on here lately, where are all you girlies??????

thank you for the advice but i am pretty sure that it is AF now was so sure this was going to be my month! now another month of wishing time away!! how annoying!

Hi everyone

Welcome to the mad house IbbleObble
I have no idea what that could mean, though the only thing i am sure of is that our bodies always find weird ways to disappoint/play tricks on us

Sorry for being so grumpy today everyone, i guess im just feeling a little bit disheartened. Af is here, i cant remember what day it arrived, though i think it was monday. Im waiting impatiently on my hosp app arriving in the post, but was told it would be 8-12 weeks. Also i've started panicking about what they will discover when i get there ...

Anyway enough of my self pity.how is everyone today?

Whitty how are you?

kaylo where are you hiding?

April sorry it was bfn chick

hi everyone i have just joined today (blush) and i was wondering if anyone had any advice for me i have been trying for 6 months and this month 5 days before i was due i had spotting which i thought was implantation bleeding but i woke up this morning 1 day before due and i have more bleeding but a bit heavier does this mean i am going to have to try for another month? i am too scared to do another test!(sad)

Morning

So just done another test and its another BFN Where is AF?!? now day 37!!!! She better come soon as of on hols in two weeks!

whitty How's your pains?

Hey guys, well I thought that I may have been ovulating but I'm temping this month no thermal shift....and I used two opks so far and nothing....I have a 33 day cycle so for me to ovulate a week early is really weird. And I have had pretty straigh forward cycles.

April test again like now...lol I'm having all these weird pains its crazy I need to go to the doctors. Back, side, boob and only one...stomach...my df thinks I'm going crazy he said something is always wrong with you

oops posted by accident

Meant to say hope everyone is doing ok.

Kaylo has af left the building yet???

Bubble and Ant if you're lurking, we miss you!!

Anyone heard from joy or suzi, ray or rtuff lately? Just wondering how they are all getting on...

Morning everyone

April you could have possibly had an implantation bleed, i would test again if i was you hun. Ill keep everything crossed for you!!!!!!!!!

whitty i've heard of that before! You can get it when you're ovulating and its meant to mean you are very fertile!

Hellllooooo!!!! its all gone quite!!!!!

Whitty I had the same this cycle, never happened before to me either. just one spot and nothing since!!

I was at the doc's monday for nothing to do with TTC and asked the nurse to do my blood pressure as im so lightheaded at the mo, it was low but fine (normal for me) and told her how late af was and i had BFN and she said test again in a week. Think i last tested friday (CD30) its now CD35!!! Think i should give it another few days. I feel normal so guess it will be BFN. My friend said she had a BFN after her missed Af and a week later a BFP! She has a lovely little girl. Sorry, feel better for that rant thanks girls! XX

ok ladies so today is supposedly day 10 of my cylce and I saw pink stuff when I wiped ...anyone ever spot midcycle this is a first ever with me I normally dont spot until after ovulation....Im really confused

Thanks ladies...I feel quite overwhelmed at the moment wedding planning, house hunting, all at once how do I have time for my job LOL...and DF is gone for two weeks again so bummed Im extra lonely...

seany 8-12 weeks will go by quicker then our 2WW lol

april go get a blood test if af still hasnt arrived.

Kaylo how are you is AF gone already?

Hope everyone is well

Hey girls,

Well i went to the docs this morning and he has finally referred me to a fertility clinic. He said i should receive an appointment in 8-12 weeks time, it feels like a lifetime away but i am just glad that he has finally agreed to do something.

whitty good luck with the house hunting-thats what we're doing at the minute too

april how you tested again? Its awful how our bodies like to confuse us.

How is everyone else today??

Kaylo- My last cycle was 27 days but thinking back to when we were TTC DS it was normally 28-30. Its now day 33! Did a test two days ago and BFN. Just wish Af would show her self and get it over with so i can start my OPK.

Whitty- Good luck house hunting, I loved doing that!

Hope everyone is well and had a great weekend?! x x

Hey ladies..I wont be ttc this month...but I'm not complaining quite happy actually...gives me time to relax wont leave you guys of course your my buddies cant leave you guys...but were now house hunting so that takes up alot of my time...so I think once were settled in a new place back to ttc it gives me more space for kids yaye...being as though Im sooooo young LOL...

april I hope you get your bfp this month girlie....

Ladies I hope all is well

April How long is your cycle usually hun? AF pains can feel a lot like pg pains so don't think it's over yet chick!

Seany So pleased you had a fab time away - it is lovely just to escape the daily routine now and again isn't it? Have no idea about those results you got tho hun - baffles my brain all the technical stuff

Whitty Everyone argues hun - me and dh have red and blue corners sometimes

x~xx~xx~x

Love and babydust to all

Whity- really sorry about your BFN. Fingers crossed for this cycle.

Seany- Glad to hear you had a fab time on your mini break, as for your test have no idea!!

Kaylo- Glad your af is here and you can get BDing soon!!!

I've had a busy few days, DH had days off work. Been to the sealife in brighton and spent the day at the seaside today. Almost forgot about af. Still not here day 30 for me now, may test in the morning but think it will be a BFN as def have af pains for the last two days.

Hope everyone is well

Hey ladies just wanted to confirm it was BFN I knew it though, I bout 6 OPK they say use them up 5 days in advance....wedding planning is a bum Im so tired of it its causing more drama all we do now is argue about trying to concieve not good at all...

Well I hope were all well and stay away from AF and the swine flu

Hi girls . Im back and we all had a lovely time, it was great getting a break from real life

How are you all?

whitty did you do a test?

april did af arrive or is there still hope?

kaylo woohooooo not long now!!!!! Thats great news that your cousin had her baby though its very scary about the swine flu. tbh sometimes im laid back about it,then when i hear someone has died i panic,esp if its a child.its not myself im worried about its my ds.

Well i got the results of my progesterone test.apartantly the level was 19.2,but i dont know what this means .I tried to google it and alot of websites are giving conflicting opinions of what the level to indicate ovulation is...anyone have any idea?
Im going to make a doctors appointment tomorrow to see what he thinks.

Well AF is here in all her glory....I'll hate her again if she gets me next month and onwards. Wonder if she knows I'm planning a 9month holiday for her

Whitty I will definitely be joining you with the opk's, still not sure on temping but will be investing in preseed if no bfp by christmas. How's your wedding plans coming along?

April <<whispers>> Whitty's AF came, so no bfp this month hun - BUT HELL WE'RE HOPING FOR NEXT MONTH
Hope AF is kind to you chick...

My cousin who has just had the baby, has been told that her mums not allowed to come visit her cos my other cousin (oh I have millions...) has swine flu!! They think she may be carrying it - one big drama after another in our lives isn't there?

Just out of interest - is anyone afraid of swine flu? I'm personally not because they're treating everybody and his dog with tamiflu these days - not even diagnosing it properly. Some people could just have cold and all they do is ring up and speak to someone - it's crazy!

xxx

Whitty have you done a test yet?????!!!!!!
I'm getting excited for you!!!

I'm still waiting for af but she is def on the way, having pains

Hey ladies...just wanted to check in....i think I'm going to take a test because my cycle was one day and kept going pink red brown...its been gone since sunday...and now my boobs hurt when i brush up against them...I wont even get excited because I took my temperature for the first time this cycle and it was low...so I doubt it but I wanna know why my boobs hurt...

How is everyone Kaylo congrats on the baby...hopefully we do ovulate the same time so I'm not alone I'm going to buy some opk's and take my temp and preseed LOL...trying to be positive...

april hopefully af isnt coming for you I need some cheering up so give me a BFP...

seany just thinking bout you hope the trip is nice.

bubbles we miss you girlie..

Everyone else I hope all is well

Thats lovely news kaylo

My Af is due today and a think its not far away. Can just feel it wont be long
Never mind i've got ov sticks for next month, not used them before a little excited!? how sad is that!!!

Found out this morning that baby Marcus Jemal was born sometime last night after a long labour and resulting c-section - he weighed 8lbs 10ozs and was just too big to descend through birth canal.

Come on girlies - we need some bfp's for sure now - I'm super broody now....more than ever!!

AF due tomorrow, just 8 more days to go

Hope you're all having a wonderful week.

Seany I know it's late but I hope you have a wonderful time on holiday - will you be posting some pics??

xxxxx

Whitty Im so sorry, hope you don't stay away for too long cause we'll miss ya

April im on Cd26.I'll def be taking the tests with me I've had a headache too since yesterday.thought it would go away after a good nights sleep but it hasnt.
Your symptoms sound really promising!!! I really hope its a bfp for you!!!

I have a question and im apologising in advance if it grosses you all out ..Yesterday i noticed some sticky yellowy creamy coloured cm when i wiped.I dont know what it is cause i've never had it before (not that i have noticed anyway).Any ideas?

kaylo ive never heard someone so excited about af coming lol Hope you have beginners luck (not exactly a beginner, but you know what i mean ).
Yip my starsign is Taurus-apartantly we taureans are very sensitive, which is def true for me-i cry at the slightest wee thing

Anyway girls hope you all have a lovely week and hopefully there will be some nice bfps when i get back mmmwahhhhh xxx

Well no baby yet - or maybe they haven't got around to telling us yet. I'll let you know when I know something girls

Whitty Dammit....with a capital 'D'. It was sounding so good too Stay positive hun - hope to see you back here soon, I'll be TTC by then so will be able to join you on the 2ww because you'll be ovulating around the same time as me I think.

April Hoping it's not Swine Flu chick Fingers and toes crossed that you're heading for a BFP this month.

Seany We're def not twins...my birthday is Feb 2nd. So we're not even the same starsign - you'll be Taurus won't you? Whereas I'm Aquarius.

Oooh and that massage sounds heavenly Never had one but it sounds very nice. I hope you have a great time and the drive down there passes quickly

only 3 days til my AF is due.....IAMSOEXCITED

Hey ladies...af is here...oh well try and stay positive be back soon need a little break might come back before I ovulate...good luck all

Hi everyone!!!

whitty- sounds very promising! I was spotting like that for two weeks when preg with DS. I say test!! and let us all know

kaylo- any news on the new baby?

Seany- no more testing here. Think i may in the morning tho, its CD 25 for me so still a little early. Still feel like it maybe my month as my boobs def feel funny I've had a headaches on and off for 5 days which i never get and been dizzy and light headed too. Also may body feels really tired.
It will probably be swine flu!!!
Hope you have a fab holiday (and take the tests with you), I've not had a hot stone massage but it sounds good to me!!!

xxxx

hey everyone

whitty i second what kaylo said, there is no such thing as tmi on here . Any update for us?

Kaylo my birthday is 10th may . Has your cousin had her baby yet? You will be even more broody now!!

april have you used any more of your tests? I've been using mine since the day i got them even though i know its waaaaaaaaaaayy to early to tell lol obv bfn every time but im not too worried about wasting them as they only cost me £2.08

Is everyone having a good weekend?

We are off on our little holiday tomorrow, cant wait. Might book myself in for a nice hot stone massage in the hotel spa when im away-anyone had one before?

Hey seany, I didn't realise you were 24 too when's your birthday??

april I'm sorry it was a BFN chick...maybe try in a few days?

whitty....well well well - have you tested? I think this sounds really promising - and remember NOTHING IS TMI ON HERE!!

dum di dum di dah

ooooh, my cousin may have gone into labour today thinking there maybe a tiny baby boy on the horizon, hopefully. She's 5days overdue...keep ya posted

Hey ladies just wanted to do an update....I dint spot at all yesterday...today I had some pink stuff go in the toilet...the weird thing is the pink blood still has not gone bright red like my normal cycle...(TMI) sorry I know but have to be able to tell someone who might understand....and no cramping any thoughts ladies?

Its cd 32 of my 33 day cycle...putting me at 11dpo...could be possible but I normally get pink stuff on and off so I wouldnt doubt that its AF...april sorry bout you BFN dont give up yet

Aww april, it is still very early, dont lose hope.

whitty what cd are you on? implantation bleed do you think?

done test BFN

Hoping that i've tested to early, they do say to use morning wee wee too. Boobs still feel funny. Just remembering what this TTC bisness is like

Yes seany mine say 10 miu/ml too.
Have you tryed them before?

I've just had a wee in a cup and all over my hand! I'm off to dip a stick in a cup!!
Fingers crossed for me please!!!

Hey ladies you guys are funny...well I'm guessing I'm out this month we BD last nite made pink stuff and now its getting darker whick is normal when my AF is arriving...BLOODY POO do dissapointed now...hope everyone has a good day

april are yours the 10uil/ml ones like mine?

obv i meant to say hi april not apri

Hi Apri, unfortunately im not going to try and restrain you . I am so eager for someone to get a bfp and give us all hope!

Seany and kaylo i'm just as bad as you!!!
I have started the christmas shopping and make list after list after list!!! DH thinks i'm nuts! (probably right!)

Ultra early preg test have just landed on my door mat!!!!!!!!! Someone hold me back!!!! So want to do one!!!!!
4/5 days before af due, but they say ultra early! What should i do???? x

were we separated at birth kaylo????

lol ooooh i love it!!! Im the same!! Dp wont actually let me go food shopping on my own

I have my xmas list made out and got 9 of the items on it last thursday . It pays to be organised no matter how mad people think we are!!!!!!!!

I actually would consider myself to have ocd where shopping is concerned and i also find it very therapeudic (cant spell that lol)

should have coming ON MN - not IN

another great list is.....

..... making a list of housework chores that I need to do......then forgetting where I put it, or coming in MN, or deciding actually - I think I'll pop down the market/shops/to mums...

I'm terrible!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE SEANY

ooooh, I have a thing for lists too - i never look at them tho.

For example - I will make a shopping list then get to the supermarket and decide actually I need this big huge bar of galaxy chocolate that isn't on my list and costs £3.50 but hey, I NEED IT

Oh, and sometimes he kids Need a new dress/jeans/tops/socks/pants....Oh I'm a bugger. Poor dh hates sending me shopping on my own - he never knows what I'll bring back - or whether I'll remember the shopping at all

oh kaylo i just noticed your post...i think i am going to wet myself rofl

Sorry for laughing but your post was just so funny

I don't think it is bad, i actually think you're a woman after my own heart!! I have to admit i think about buying stuff, but have to satisfy myself with just looking, and making lists (i love lists! i make lists of lists, saddo that i am )

Forgot to mention that i am off to the nurse in the morning to have a 21 day test (or day 23 in my case as i have a 30 day cycle). Fingers crossed that the opk was right and i did ov this month. Will have to wait til next week to get the results, but hopefully it will be some good news for me returning from my wee break

bloody hell.....having a typo week i think....

should have said 'mum wants to BUY me a pram'

Hi girls

Can I confess....I also have a collection of pg tests had them for ages - thought I was being organised, up to now I have 10 cheapies and 3 clearblue conception indicator tests. Won't buy anymore tho.

I've also bought other things baby/pg related. Basically becasue I'm obsessed with being organised an thought if I get stuff now then it saves money later. So I have maternity clothes, white babygros, white vests, mittens, hats... I've also washed/dried/ironed and stared lovingly at dd and ds baby clothes. They're all in a box at mums house hidden away from dh as he would have me committed to a psycho home if he knew lol

and mum wants to but me a pram. but I draw the line at that.

Is this bad.....tell me the truth!

Hope you're all ok xxxx

snap april

My 25 tests arrived in the post today . It only cost £2.08 for the lot and they measure the hcg at level 10.

Hope we get loads of bfps on here this month

Ops!! Just ordered cheapo preg tests from ebay!!!

Hey ladies I'm ok today had some cramping last nite nothing to serious. I did the math I'm actually 10dpo today AF is scheduled for saturday. So two days closer yay anywho..

Kaylo happy you found a couch I think I will start looking for mine later this month.

seany Im so jealous I need time off like that we shall see maybe before I go to training at the end of the month.

Bubble we miss you dear.

ant happy you stopped past happy everything is well..

april good luck trying the first month I have faith in us all...

shout outs to everyone who was once hear who left for good reasons...BFP and to relax we miss you all...

Have a great day ladies

Hi everyone

Kaylo we're going to westport in the south of ireland for a couple of days, I can't wait just to get a wee break.

A lot more BFPs on here would definately spur us all on!!!

Whitty how are you today?

Bubble if you're lurking just wanted to let you know im thinking about you xx

April have you managed to contain yourself?
Hope everyone else is well x

Hi Girls - this thread moves much quicker now...can hardly keep up

Whitty hang in there chick, maybe the lack of symptoms is a good thing - it could represent change in your body? I didn't get symptoms till I was about 6 weeks gone with both my pg's. And my first sign was tiredness...

Seany It was certainly getting to the 'restrain me' stage!! I'm so relieved Good luck with the 5hour drive - it will be worth it!! Where are you going?

April Not too early to symptom spot at all Also my AF is due Wednesday I believe so cd22 for me but there will be no hope of a BFP until next cycle - but hopefully one of you will get one this time to lift everyones spirits!

Hi there Ant nice to see you hanging around - hope you're well.

Love to all the ladies on here xx
Catch yas later

april i don't blame you for the symptom spotting. Im also on cd21 but i am trying to be good and not do any this month (so i say ). My af is due next friday or saturday so a little early for me to be doing anything just yet anyway, and i have my holiday next week to take my mind off things. can't wait (not looking forward to the 5 hour drive trying to entertain ds though arrrghh)

Hi ant, how are you doing? Hope you're well xx

Hey Ladies,

Still lurking and checking in with you all.

Welcome Nattie

Bubble - I hope you don't leave, but if you feel that its the right thing for you. Then do what you must, but it does seem like the higher dosage is doing something for you.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Sorry haven't given more personal messages. I'm being a slattern

Hope there is a BFP soon, we need one to keep us all going.

Hi Kaylo, Seany, Whitty and everyone!

Kaylo- Great about your sofa, its always the way going back to the first one you see!

I'm on CD21, is it to early for me to start symtom spotting like crazy?!
Well i have anyway!! My boobs are a bit sore and got a pain in my right one for a bit earlier. Could be that i'm poking myself to much tho!
Think my af is due anytime from next tuesday, is anyone else around that time too?

off for lunch now xxx

Woohoo!!!! thank god for that kaylo, was afraid you might need us all to come to your house and restrain you

whitty keep your chin up -alot of people on here have said they had no symptoms whatsoever the month they got their bfp, so dont give up..

Morning girls...I'm hanging in there but kind of down and not to positive...not one symptom to at all I have had headaches off and on for about 4 days thats it...its driving me crazy i have had more symptoms before...

Anywho wish this week would end for AF is due sunday I just wanna go to sleep at work may leave early today and tomorrow because it is just not going to work.

Hope everyone is well...

Hi seany <<waves>>
Ang hi everyone else <<<waves both hands in al directions>>>

Sofa has been chosen and ordered and is being delivered 1st-5th October

Was the first bloody sofa we looked at!

What a miserable Wednesday, rainy grey and grim!!

2wks and 1 day AF due next week

bleurgh!!

Anyhow - cya girls - take care xxxxxx

Morning girls

How is everyone today?

We are halfway to Friday, isn't it great

Hey girls,

How is everyone today?

whitty hope you get lucky

I finally got a def +ve on my opk yesterday. I had cramps and ewcm for 2 days so i think i def ov'd . Still have slight cramps today but ewcm is all gone now.

Just realised that i ov'd later than i thought i should. I thought it was going to be around cd15 or cd16, but yest was actually cd19

We have bd alot this month and will continue to do so until af is due next week just incase.

april that is so cute about your ds and the tractors-my ds does the same when we bring him to the farm, and theres always a crying match when we have to leave lol

Kaylo hope you find a sofa before yous kill each other

Didn't even finish before I posted.....got my dopey head on lately!

Whitty fingers still crossed - throws sticky babydust to all and sundry

April Bless your little ds with his tractors.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone, would love to say weekend was good but was too stressful, lol, I'm worse than a kid. I could shop all day for the kids and dh but sofas.....

Going to try again in an hour when dh gets home....watch this space. I'll let you know what happened later on

Hi all, hope everyone is well and had a good weekend?!
I had a great girly night friday except for the food which was yuck! Wont be going back there! Saturday just at home and sunday DH and i took DS to the farm. He spent the whole time sitting on his beloved tractors!

BDing tailled of as both had colds and busy late nights. Think it wont be our month. Was getting excited thinking that it could happen first cycle but not that lucky!
Have no symtoms just feel normal!

Bubble- come on girl keep going your so close i know it!

Seany- hope your feeling better.

Kaylo- Good luck sofa shopping!

Hey ladies how is everyone....bubble I want you to stay because I'm trying to....well Im 6dpo and not feeling anything at all which is weird because I normally have had cramping and all kinds of stuff but nothing not one feeling at all....still early...

well I hope everyone has a good day

Oh, the weather - I had kids bundled up for rainstorms the other day cos it was chucking it down - by the time I got to mums to drop them off before work it was gorgeous and they were stripping off!!!

Hope you feel better seany big smiles

hello kaylo

naughty ds, tho he sounds exactly like mine

What is going on with the weather, sun+heat one minute, storm clouds+rain the next-dont know what to put on me in the mornings when im getting dressed.

Im very tired today and very irritable-want to just go to bed, have a good huff and/or cry. doesnt help that its monday tomorrow either tho cant really complain cause my boss is away for the next week and then next monday i go for a 3day holiday with dp+ds woohoo

How is everyone doing today?

ha, I meant no life! not like

durr

once again i have no like and am here surfing mumsnet

hope ur all having a good weekend xx

sorry, should be CSL Sofas, not that it matters!

Bubble I'm thinking of you!! The road of TTC can be cruel and tough at times but you're so close!! The treatment is at least working. The prize at the end of all the heartache and struggles will make all the difficult memories of what you went through to get that prize... disappear.....poof

Seany Sore boobs - ouch! Will join you in that one tho mine isn't just ovulation pains - my ds bloody jumped on me when I was in bed the other morning sounding very joyful when he said "Good morning mummy, can I come for a snuggle?" Little git! He knew he'd hurt me but also knew the exact thing to say to make me not scold him for it! Age 3 and already manipulating and calculating!!

Myself and dh were also dangerously close to having WW3 in CLS sofa specialists, or maybe it was Harveys...anyway....I had to walk away fairly promptly before I slung the nearest coffee table at him!! All he did was choose another sofa, added it to the list that is already 6 sofas long!
On that note we decided to leave it til next Sunday when kids are away camping with their grandparents.

Come on girlies - we need a BFP soon - we need smiles and positivity + +

Will that do it???

im so sorry bubble,but please dont give up. You have came this far and now you know that the higher dosage of clomid is working, you are so close.
I hope you are ok and i will be thinking about you.xxxx

april hope you enjoyed your girly nite . I havent had one of those in ages but have one planned for end of august for my friends birthday.

I def think i have ov'd this month, even tho the line on my opk wasnt as strong as the test line ive been getting cramps since yest, my boobs feel bigger and ive had ewcm today.will just have to continue bding and wait and see...

kaylo i know exactly what you mean!!! sofa shopping sucks! i think me and dp where ready to strangle each other last time we went, it took us about 2 weeks to make a decision lol

whitty 2WWs can go on forever,but i hope yours flies in and you cheer us all up with a bfp at the end

nattie you up to anything nice this wkend?

How is everyone else doing?

Hey all!

Af arrived this morning

im gonna go away and lick my wounds and decide wether im gonna keep trying for bubba number 3. i will loiter and be thinking of you all

xxxxxxx

Hi Ladies - thought u'd all deserted me for a minute there....but then thought maybe it's because I have no social life really???

Hope everyone is ok - whitty hope the 2ww passes quickly for u!

April did u have a good time last night?

me and dh tried to go shopping for a new sofa suite today but we just couldn't agree on anything so haven't ordered anything yet. Went to DFS, CSL, Harveys, Range and saw loads of lovely ones but none that we both love. Grrr I HATE SOFA SHOPPING!!!

And it was raining, the kids were bouncing on the beds in Harveys, sprawling their soggy wet jeans on all the lovely pristine sofas earning us some stern looks from the reps...oh the joys....

xxxxx

to anyone i havent mentioned....hope ur ok, have a great weekend!

Hello hello, happy saturday ladies!!

Hows things?

x

What symtoms do you get when ovulating? How do you know when its happening without a OPK?! I have no idea!!!

I have sore boobs but only at the top and sides Could be all in my head tho, i think i've been reading to on the internet!!

TTC#2 UCL28-30ish CD16 So i think AF is due around the 12th aug! That sounds ages away!!!

DS in bed for a nap so off to watch neigbours!

Hey ladies how is everything going...3 dpo on this side patiently waiting I forgot how long this 2ww really is gosh lol...cycle due on the 9th of August so far away were still in july...

bubble how are things on your end...
kaylo how are you..
april enjoy ladies night I think i will do one of those this weekend.

Hello.....i'm here! Better late than never!?

Nothing to report from me! Apart from that i'm off for a curry with the girls tonight!

Hoping everyone gets BFP's asap! (Throws baby dust everywhere!)

Helloooooo..........

<echo>

<echo>

<echo>

Seany hehe...glad I make you smile

bubble, whitty - keep us posted

xxxxx

I just thought your last post was very funny kaylo-mothercare catalogue, countdown etc

bubble hope this is your month xxx

Thanks girls! im keepin my fingers crossed but like i said i think AF is lurking.

its cd24 today so still to early to test i guess.

hope you all have a lovely evening.

seany why? lol

whitty I have got my fingers crossed for you and bubble - hoping that you both graduate to 'ante-natal' soon. (not that i wanna get rid of you tho!)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NEARLY HOMETIME!!!!! WHOOP WHOOP

Im fine whitty -how are you? Oooh i was wondering about preseed, is it good then?

kaylo you have me in stitches

Bubble forgot to ask you what cd you're on?

Hey ladies were sounding a little more positive these days...bubble I knew you would ovulate and sore boobs and tired are a symptom...

My BDathon was great preseed is actually nice as for symptoms I just sleep and my boobs hurt but I'm like bubble Im not going to get my hopes up and be down.

kaylo 3 weeks and 1 day will go by quick as we all know...just relax dont stress yourself...

seany how are you dear

Im excited for everyone hope everyone is well these days.

Kisses lol

just worked it out....it's 3 weeks and 1 day!!! Even sooner than I thought as we're starting on 20th Aug a few days before ovulation to get best first chance at it!!!!

I'm even more excited now - might pop tp mothercare and pick up a catalogue to celebrate
or maybe I'll go to work and act normal so people at work don't guess I'm TTC soon. Bah - thats not as much fun tho is it really????

BUBBLE I'm soooooo soooooo pleased and excited and nervous for you! I so hope this is your month as you've really been through it TTC this time.
When are you testing hun? I'm gonna do my BFP chanty dance for you

Whitty.....any symptoms??

Love and hugs to all but I'm gonna have to go now methinks or managers at work will be upset like I care really when theres just 3 weeks and 1 day left before I can start (hopefully) looking forward to maternity leave

no seany not normally. i am nervous and excited and trying to control myself so i dont set myself up for a huge fall

brilliant bubble im sooooooooooo happy for you hun!!!!!! Symptoms sound good -do you usually get sore boobs?

Welcome nattie and good luck! Good for you being so organised! Wish i could take a leaf out of your book

whitty that is great news-hope you got lucky on your last bdathon

How is everyone else doing? Is it 3 weeks 6 days now kaylo?

morning girls!

how is everyone?

nat i hope you enjoyed your bareback ride

whitty i hope you struck it lucky

WELL..... the results are in!!!

I did ovulate!!!! my progesterone level was 50!!! so i guess i will be hanging around for another few days to see if i got lucky this month!

if im honest i think af is lurking. i have really sore boobs and am dog tired. bit emotional too i think i will go get a preg test to put me out of my misery!

oops, SOME special underwear!

lol, i have no choice, there is no way i can afford min repayments and a baby, esp once im off on maternity!! it either has to be sorted now or i can fake my own death and my children can be born in cuba......

hmm...........

pill ends tomorrow, so tonight i celebrate my last bareback ride for 3 months... i feel so special underwear is in order

x

whitty thats fantastic news....I hope it worked for you - will be waiting with baited breath for an update...

April I get mine from eBay - they look flimsy but work fine. You need a medal for still dancing when feel poop.

bubble am hoping good news comes to you today

4 weeks left for me before TTC!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!

Sorry
Bubble Good luck i hope everything works out well for you. Always welcome back.

Hi everyone!!

Rtuff Congratulations!!!!! What fab news!

Joy Lovely to hear about your scan

Nattie Welcome! Organised or what!! Dont remind me about credit cards!!

Whitty Enjoy your wedding planning! I got married this June just gone, enjoy every minute it goes so fast!

Hi and good luck everyone else, sorry running out of time as DS is running wild!!!

My quick update:
BDathon going well, have come out with a cold so not really up for it but still dancing! No idea when I ov but it must be this week?! CD 13. May have to get some ov sticks if no BFP this month! Would ebay be the best place for them?

xx

Hi ladies!

how is everyone...?

welcome Nattie good luck for when the time comes

i went for my day 21 test today. should find out the result tomorrow or wed. so will know either way if im leaving you then or waitin til monday for af to arrive and then bailing out. will miss you all but think its for the best.

xxxx

Ok ladies hey....nattie welcome wish I was that organized but Im going to start your my new inspiration....anywho ladies update on me last nite after I posted I convinced my dear love to stop being a scaredy wuss and ttc...

well he went for it and I used the preseed we caught ovulation just in time my actual ovulation date is tomorrow so we shall see if the preseed works because I sure enough was not taking my temperature

<waves>
hiya - welcome to the thread nattie - you do certainly sound organised - best I could do was look into consolidation for my credit cards or balance t/f - got a great deal with abbey who's offering 0% so went with them!! Happy days.

whitty I'm sorry ur having to wait until Dec before TTC - at least you've got your wedding plans to plunge yourself into! Exciting times that we live in these days!
Hope to still see u on here from time to time - will be looking for u,

Just cooking enchiladas - dh and me both fancied a little snack and this was the only thing we wanted - bloody messy to make tho!

xxx

hello, im new!! can i join in?

im not ttc yet, my last pill is this week and then we start the adventure. well kind of, i want to be very careful and very well planned so i'm gonna wait the full recommended three months before actually starting to try... in that time i'm gonna carry on losing weight and getting healthy, start on the folic acid and pay off my credit cards

im sure my family will be supportive and all, but i want them to see i have fully thought everything through and whatever...

x

Hey ladies all is ok on this end of town...*omg rtuff congrats* kaylo harry potter was great...seany happy af finally came...

Well its been confirmed we wont be trying again until december gosh that seems so far away lets see thats 5 more damn cycles ugh...but Im going to be ok. Cuz my wedding is in june and I cant wait so yippee...

Hope everyone else is just peachy these days... and good luck ttc everyone we will win in the end. stay positive and I will be checking in

oh dear don't know what happened there,seem to have pressed a few buttons twice oops

Oh bubble i am hoping and praying that this is your month,i will miss you if you go but i completely understand your decision. Thank you for that info,i was completely unaware that you can get a +ve opk and not ov- i did get a very faint +ve this morning so thats my bubble well and truly burst

kaylo i knew it!!!! poor you, hhorrible dh making you get up with the kkids!!! Hope you perk up soon and manage to gget some sneaky naps

Seany - Thats exactly what I'm doing!!! In my diary I've written how many days weeks/days until the 20th Aug!! 3 weeks and 4 days!!!! Oh and the managers don't car a hoot about me @ work - they're currently trying to discipline me for taking so much time off work and trying to guilt-trip me because it's been dead busy and I could helped my team/colleagues by answering some calls.....fed of them all to be quite honest, can see me melting down before their eyes again - probably after a negative pg test in a month or so... bugger em!

oh bubble - I really really hope this cycle is the one for you I honestly do. It's good that you've made a decision and I can understand why - all the same you will be missed if you have to leave!! Hoping good news comes your way soon hun - whatever happens, take care!

Ant A break has been the magic solution for quite a few people on here so maybe it's the way forward - you too bubble! Fingers crossed for positive results from all - and I don't mean on the OPK's!!!

I went out last night for my friends hen night - to a casino in Leeds - it was sooooo fab! Couldn't drink tho as was driving so it was j2o's for me - good practice I guess Such an amazing night but the men there were a bit OTT!! And more than a little sleazy. Anyway, I didn't get in til half 3 and have been up since half 7 cos DH refused to let me sleep in so I had to get up with kids. I'm sooo sleepy - it's gonna be a playhouse disney day today methinks, easy entertainment just for today

Gonna go now as I have a headache from tiredness and laptop screen not helping!
seeya later everyone

bubble Hope tomorrow goes well for you - will you come back to tell us? Good Luck hun

Hi all...

Congratulations rtuff thats brilliant

so so pleased for you..

seany just wanted to say that opks are not the way to find out if your ovualting. they detect a LH surge and u dont always ovulate after 1.

see if you can find attilla. she will explain it properly... she was the 1 who explained to me that opks are useless to ppl with irregular cycles.

like last month... i got a + opk but the blood test confirmed i didnt ovualte.. it may cause more heartache <<hugs>>

its day 20 and have had a funny pain down on my left side. not holding out much hope, got my day 21 test on day 22 (monday) so will know by wed wether the 100 mg of clomid worked..

i do have some news tho.

Im leaving after this cycle... i cant be bothered with the emotional rollercoaster that is TTC. but i will be thinking of you all and wishing you the best of luck in getting pregnant and being pregnant.

I have 2 gorgeous boys and ive decided if this month doesnt work then im gonna just stick with what ive got

morning everyone

Welcome to newbies-love your name broody

rtuff i honestly am so pleased for you. I am feeling very hopeful as i am on cycle 15, and your good news, along with joys lovely update on her scan, has given me some hope, so thanks girls

kaylo you'd think your managers would give you a break seeing as your only back. Numpties or what grrr
Glad your first week went ok though and hope next week is better.
I have visions of you sitting with a little calander and x-ing off the days til you start ttc with a big red marker . Countdown with kaylo

As for the clomid, i am trying opks this month and then i will go back to doc and ask for some if they show i have def not ov'd.

joy as i said above your last post was lovely. Im sure you are both over the moon, and i am so happy to hear that everything went well for you.

bubble how are you hun?

ant im sorry i left you out yesterday-i hope your break does you good xx

trying sorry af arrived,fingers crossed for next month

april enjoy your bdathon-ours commenced yest so we will both be busy over the next weeks

whitty how are you doing? Did you go to see HP?

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Hi everyone - welcome to all the newbies.

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted!!

Massive Congrats RTuff*

*Joy That was a very inspiring post - feel like I'm raring to go now - just a few more weeks then it's BD'ing R Us!! Decided to bring TTC forward so it co-incides nicely with the very important part of my cycle.

Broody I will definitely be joining you with the TTC obsession once I get started - I'm obsessed already to about starting TTC!!!

Seany Would your doc prescribe clomid to you to help your ovulation? Or have you had that (sorry - head a shed at the mo with stress from work grrrrr)

April good luck with BD'athon - you'll be testing when I'll be starting

Whitty Hope the crying fairy has left and the smile has returned Did you enjoy the movie??

Trying Has AF arrived? Heres hoping she takes nice long break (for everyone else as well ) Being huge and pregnant is no fun whatsoever!!! I always get massive when I'm preggers and it's bloody uncomfortable enough! (but would still welcome it with open arms really)

Thats it from me anyhow - first week back at work went well-ish. Not hitting my targets so managers are ganging up on me! Roll on maternity leave

xxxxxxx

Take care everyone - wishing you all a happy weekend.

xxxxxxx

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to this TTC game!
I am symptom spotting like mad and have had a weird pain in my stomach on the left hand side low down like a stitch all day... i think I'm just looking for any old sign that this might be the month! I'm on CD21 of a 28 day cycle. Anyone else had this?
I'm doing my own head in already, this could be a bit of an obsession!!!

AF arrived this morning. Was hoping with coming off the pill I would getting pregnant quick. Will just have to hope for next cycle.

Hello everyone!

Oh wow, Rtuff, congratulations! I'm really happy for you. I know you've been through the wringer. When are you due?

Antdamn I can totally understand you wanting to take a break. As you know, that's what I did and it was the best decision at the time. So sorry to read of your loss, I hope you are both taking things very gently.

Hello to everyone else- hope all are well and feeling positive!

I have been steering clear of mn recently, as I have been very anxious about this pregnancy,and found that the speculation on the pregnancy boards about what symptoms do/don't mean was only making me worse!

However, had 12w scan this morning (when it emerged I am in fact 13w) and all was well with my bean- well, it's much bigger than a bean now! And much more wriggly.

So you see, there is hope. After my mc and months of trying, plus some odd cycles, I thought we wouldn't conceive. But it does happen and beans can stick.

Courage, ladies!

Thanks Seany !!! I still can't believe it, i keep running back to the stick just to double check!

I spent months trying to get the right day for my 21 day teast, but i worked out, for me, that if i did opk's day "21" would be 7 days after i got a +ive, i don't know if that helps???

i got my BFP on CD31 of cycle 16ish (lost count in the end!!) I also tested on cd28 and got a BFN so it just shows all that money i've wasted testing early over the past year and a half!

I've done 3 tests now, just to make sure... 3 tests can't be wrong surely! I'm in disbelief, my doc phoned today to say she had both mine and dh tests back and that she's happy to refer us now - typical!

How is everyone else doing?

I have been awol lately-think i've been burying my head in the sand as i cant bear to go back to the docs and listen to his bullshit again.

Af arrived last thurs-almost a month late, and this is the first day its stopped so bding will commence from now on (though dont know if its gonna do much good if ive got a problem in the ovulation dept.)

The thing is i know i got the 21 day test done too early, but i don't think im not ov as ive been getting signs of it the past few months (cramps, ewcm etc). I bought some ov test sticks off amazon (box of 20) and have started them just to see if i ov early/on time/late/at all.

Rtuff what cd did you get your bfp?

OMG Rtuff thats brilliant news!!!!!! Congrats and big hugs xx

Hi Ladies,

Well i've officially had 2 months trying not to think about ttc and thought i'd just check in to see how all of you are getting on? Any news?

Well after 2 holidays relaxing in 2 months i think i may have just got a BFP!! Well that should be a Faint Positive... but a line's a line... right????

Feeling very positive! Af has left the building let the BDing begin!!!
Thinking every other day should do, must go tell DH now!
Hope everyone is well, anyone getting close to testing?

Hiya ladies,

Hello and welcome to Trying and April. I hope your time on this thread is short

DP and I are having some time off from TTC, even though he is in a 'life's too short' mood.

So, think we will be 'out' for a month until we get back into the swing of things.

How is everyone doing?

Has anyone heard from Joy or Suzi??

Thanks for all your kind words.

Hiya, I'm with Kaylo in trying to get preggers so that I'm not all huge, hot and bothered next summer. My mates 7 months just now and she's struggling with the heat!

I'm really hoping that I'm pregnent just now as I don't want the dreaded AF to make an appearance after being on the pill for 6 years. I have a feeling it's even worse than I remember it! Is bad lower back ache a sign? I've had a bad back the last couple of days so here's hoping. Seemed to ovulate rather early but then that might be with just coming off the pill. Hope it's not just sign of early arrival of AF!!!

Hey ladies...welcome April hope you enjoy your time here...ladies how are you feeling...hope were all positive Im trying to be...because this weekend I had a crying spell...tears out of nowhere DF did not know what to do...

Well ladies Im just checking in on everyone...stay positive Im off to see Harry potter since kaylo went to see it without me he he

Well hello!

bubble fingers are firmly crossed for you! babydust floating it's way to you...

seany I am quite cheerful lately, I think it's cos I've only got one more cycle to go!! Then I can finally start TTC properly. How are you hun? Still no AF? I think the GP needs to have some firm words spoken to him...

April You're welcome Hope it's a bfp for you - we don'e seem to have had one on this thread for a while...

Well I'm on CD4 now. Hoping I can talk dh into TTC during August ovulation so we'll find out if bfp/bfn or not in time for Barcelona on 16th Sept. Hoping (but not expecting) to catch on first time around (aren't we all?) so baby will be due before really hot weather kicks in next year If dh doesn't go for the August timing, means I'll have to wait for September ovulation which is predicted to be around 23rd Which is another cycle... Am getting so impatient now cos it's so close.

Anyway, enough of my grumbling!! How is everyone? Has anyone seen Harry Potter yet, I went on Wednesday evening and it was insanely busy and there were people with scars painted on their foreheads and everything - crazy!!
Good film tho - if you've read the books tho it doesn't do the book justice (as always)
Took my mum and dh to see it. Mum is a potter fan like me but dh just went for me iyswim. - anyway it's made dh start reading the books so it must be a cracking film cos that never happens!!!

Hoping you're all well xxxx

Hi all, thanks for welcoming me, and thanks Kaylo for the abbreviations!
Af came yesterday, was not expecting that! I can only guess that my last af 2 weeks ago was a fake bleed from just coming off the pill?!

So I think my stats are:

April80 TTC#2 UCL28-30 CD2 ???

You do count from the first day of af not the last right? Should really know that by now!!

Welcome april and good luck!!

Bubble i have decided im taking you to my docs with me-who needs taking charge of your fertility when i've got you lol Thanks though,i really appreciate the advice
I have started spotting today so hopefully thats af on her way.

kaylo hows things with you? You are sounding very cheerful im glad to notice

Hows everyone else?

Hi girls!

ant im so sorry! what an awful tradgedy. sending hugs for you and your family xx

Hi to april good luck chick

whitty stay positive girl!! plannin for a wedding normally means the baby will turn up to faff up ur carefull made plans

Well... my mil went home and now its back to normal in the bubble household. Day 11 and fingers crossed the clomid works this time round.

thinking of u all and hoping your all well xxxx

Hi everyone!

Welcome April fingers crossed bfp will come soon for you - if you need any help with abbreviations just shout out - here are the main ones:~
bfp = Big Fat Positive
bfn = Big Fat Negative (we don't like those)
AF = Aunt Flo (I think u got that one)
DS = Dear/Darling Son
DD = Dear/Darling Daughter

Ant Hope you and dp are ok, what a tragedy at such a young age And on your birthday

Seany, Whitty, Bubble and everyone else - hope you're all good and smiling

xxx

Hi everyone! I'm really new to all this and not good on computers and especially bad with all these abbreviations!! Was hoping to join in with you girls!?
I came off my pill the 19th june and got a lighter than normal af a week later. I have got everything crossed that i'll get a bfp first go this time round! We are TTC number 2, first baby took 9 months.

hey everyone,

welcome trying and ladylou, best of luck to you both.

ant im so sorry to hear your sad news,that is such a tragedy . Hope you're ok.

bubble how are you? My next af is due on monday so i am waiting until i miss that one then im going to the doc again to demand tests or something be done. Im also going to change my doctor at long last cause the one i have is keeky bobo. enjoy your next couple of days

whitty im glad to hear your sounding a bit more positive.

Hey ladies old and new welcome...ant Im sorry for your loss 17 is so young take it easy.

Hope everyone is doing well...Im back to work and trying to stay positive guess I will just plan my lovely wedding since I cant plan for my child...but we shall see I think we just may stop trying until september which works for me.

Hi ladies,

I had thought I had posted this previoulsy, but obviously wasn't paying attention

Will be AWOL for about a week. On my birthday we got a call from DP's Stepmum to tell us that DP's cousin was hit by a lorry outside T in The Park and died. He was only 17

SO DP is arranging to go back to Scotland for the funeral. So we will be taking things slowly for a while afterwards.

Be back soon

hi everyone.

seany i hope u get af soon and can start tryin again soon. have u been to the dr and asked them to investigate the cause of your irregular periods?

hi and welcome to lady and tryin... good luck. i hope you get a BFP soon

had a brilliant time out this weekend.

am on day 9 and just waiting for the bd marathon to commence.

Hi trying4baby1

Im also new to this, and I agree, I dont understand half the lingo, but Im getting there.

I joined about 3 days ago, and am also trying for my first (at 26).

Good Lucj, happy BD...

Hi there, just joined mumsnet, hope you guys don't mind if I join you. I'm 29 and just started trying for my first. Feel a bit behind everyone as I don't understand half the lingo but I'm sure I'll pick it up as I go along.

its weird though, i've had this feeling for the past couple of weeks that afs just not gonna turn up at all

Hiya everyone

Happy belated birthday ant, hope you had a lovely day and got spoilt rotten

bubble happy to hear you have had no side effects this month . did you enjoy your night out?

whitty i hope you and your dp manage to sort something out,im sorry your feeling so down.

kaylo how are you? Glad to hear you're making the most of your time off-when are you back?

mean and ant sorry the witch got you-chins up for next month.

joy, suzi, plant, rach, lou- how are you all keeping?

Sorry if i have left anyone out-its been so long since i've been on.

Just a little update on me- af has still not arrived. im on cd53. had a blood test last tue and was neg for pg (hcg level was 5).
Have been having some random strong cramps since last wk, but still nothing happening. i guess i just skipped a month, as af is due again next wk. [sigh]

Oh Whitty Have you told him about the preseed? I've also heard good things about it!! When is it you get married? ((((hugs))))
I don't know what to say honey - could it be a blessing in disguise perhaps? It may not be much of a consolation but if you conceived after you were married - you would all have the same name on baby's birth certificate.

Is he open to discussion on it? If you're getting married in next few months - you may be showing that much anyway so it will be an exciting secret for you to keep.

Whatever happens - I wish you well hun - looking forward to seeing you on here again

xxxxx

Hey girlies, hope everyone is enjoying the weather...ant I hope your birthday was lovely...beans Im sorry af got you to...

Well ladies I have bad news to bare well good and bad...I ordered Presees since everyone claims they get pregnant the first time...but the only issue I now have is that the dear love of my life wants to wait until we get married now since we have been ttc for 8 months. So I think Im out of the race until January we shall see he said hes not going to try anymore but he isnt going to prevent it....I think he will use the pull out method...

so once again I drank another bottle of wine and cried because I was really anxious to try the preseed and I dont want to try it and then feel like I trapped him... oh well gotta go...

Happy Birthday Ant and Bubble's sister. Hope it's pampered bliss for you both.

Whitty hope you're enjoying you're break hun and you're not as stressed.

Beans DAMN AF!!! Although she's due to get me next week as well - Monday if she's punctual!!

Bubble I'm good thanks hun - you? Hope everything with clomid still good Sick leave seems to have done it's job so far - feel back to normal but think when I get back to work it'll hit me again, oh well. Gonna start TTC in 4-5 weeks so am just focusing on that and hoping for best Have really enjoyed the 5 weeks off tho - reeeeally don't wanna go back

Hoping everyone else is fine and dandy xxx

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear ant
Happy birthday to you.

xxxxx

Hey ladies,

Well, AF got me this morning but I knew she was coming. Roll on next week.

How is everyone else?
Bubble? Seany? Kaylo? Whitty? Suzhi? Joy? Meanbean? Any news? Any progress?

Its my birthday tomorrow!! Yay! And I will be 24. Woo hoo for me.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi Whitty I'm glad to see you here still!

Can I be honest with you...I was so clueless about TTC when we were trying that I didn't have a clue about temping and only vaguely understood ovulation - enough to but the test sticks and have a go with them. I'm not doing the temping this time either - I'll forget or not do it right or not get time etc... I'm rubbish with stuff like that. And I'm pretty sure my mum and sister, auntie etc never did anything like that either.
I think sometimes it can make you MORE stressed with it all because you know you've done everything right and exactly how it says on websites/books.

I'm glad you're not leaving
Take Care hun - enjoy your time together cos it definitely goes out of the window when you have kids [we barely have time to do it nowadays at all!!!

x xx xx x

thanks kaylo right now that was probably the best thing I have heard and thank you for the smiles...

I will take a break just going to enjoy the moment wont worry about when I ovulate might not even temp...just take a break I wont leave you guys though

Whitty Please stay with us...I have faith that it will happen for you but I certainly understand how heartbreaking it can be. It took a while to conceive our DS but it's so worth it, all the waiting around - all the worry while you're pregnant, I had SPD and was even grateful for that.

Please try to stay positive - I know it's difficult. If you need to take a break from TTC then do that...you never know It might even happen then when you're not trying.

Thinking of you! p.s - did you get the smiles I sent you (couldn't afford recorded delivery )
xxx
Hows everyone else tonight?
xx xx xx

Hey ladies well Im officially out I dropped a blood clot...this is now cycle 9 dont thing Im cut out for this.

errrr Whitty - I meant CHIN up not CHIP

Well hello

Whitty Chip up honey - it ain't over yet! Sending you smiles and optimism

Beans Does that mean you're testing tomorrow if no sign of the monthly witch?

Bubble Glad to see you smiling chick! Sending you lots of happy vibes ----><----

Wheres everyone else these days? I think maybe I have too much time on my hands (not really if you saw the state of kids rooms . I have lots of work to do but everything seems so difficult even when I know it really isn't. DH thinks I'm just lazy but seriously I seem to have zero energy all the time Wonder if it has anything to do with this depression

Anyhooo - I better go pick the brats children up from pre-school - catch you all later on tonight xxx

whitty sorry about the spottin. BUT it aint over til its over treacle xxxx

kaylo i hope this is my lucky month too. i dont fancy taking this clomid again.

how u doin?

whitty, huge hugs coming your way. (((hugs)))

kaylo, I got you hunni, my typing is really bad, lol....I blame fat fingers lol.

bubble...oh I'd love to be 21 again....28 now and I can feel 30 looming...yikes lol!

I'm on cd 29...this is cycle 2 after the mirena coil...last month I had 29 day cycle...ovulating on cd 13/14...

I thought it would be similar this month, we missed babydancing fron cd 10-16.

BUT af isn't here yet...if I'm not visited by the witch tomorrow then I'm in with a chance as bding would have been right.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up...no doubt the witch will ghet me tonight....

My PMT has been really bad the last few days so no doubt in reality she's coming....we all live in hope though don't we lol.

Hey ladies hope everyone has a better day today...I believe I am out once again this month as for I' am spotting...so today will be a day that Im not thrilled about not in the mood.

hope everyone is better and I wish you guys would come back

Hiya Bubble - how are you? Not too bad I hope - hoping this month is your month B as we can see the side effects are worrying you.

Back later x xx x

Morning girls!

how is everyone?

ant if i were you i would go to the dr. it doesnt seem to me that you are ovulating... pls ask for some kind of help from the dr. its agonising enough each month waiting for AF but 56 days indicates there is def a problem xxx

Well i started the 100mg of clomid last night. im dreading it to be honest... last month i was evil. My MIL is coming to stay thursday for a week and i hope i can control my self.

next weekend is my sisters 21st... we are goin out and stayin in a hotel. just the girls.. i really cant wait.

missing you too. come back everyone!!

who can't spell?? lol

Of course I meant diet coke, and not doet

Hi ladies - how are we all? Everyone enjoying the thunderstorms???

Rach In truth I have no idea why we're waiting til September - I'm ready to go now but DH insists on September. A good thing really tho I guess as he initially said "How about waiting 7 years?" Then he was gonna book himself in for the dreaded snip . I told him if he did I'd divorce him not the best tactic but it did work at least and it got my point across loud and clear, well that and lots of distraught tears.

Ant Nice to see you back on here - I thought you were a dead cert for a BFP too!

Joy - Hope the time doesn't drag on and on for you hun - for once lets wish the time away - just ever so briefly

Whitty - Hows your puppy doing? Is he/she settling in ok?

Suzi - Hows things with you chick?

Beans - Everything ok? Any sign of AF or dare I say...a BFP?

Bubble - I'm truly sorry the clomid didn't work but please don't despair, it will come right in the end (I expect you're sick of hearing that )

Seany? Everything ok? I'm still holding a little hope that somehow there's a little BFP just waiting to be identified...not wanting to bring false hope but it's just so strange...

Sorry to anyone I've missed - promise it's not deliberate.
I'm off to try and calm down now as have had doet coke and it's sent me more than a little wacky.... I really should know better...

Hey ladies,

Sorry I have not been on, busy sorting out house for DP's parents visit next week. Lots and Lots and Lots of cleaning

Still no sign of AF, I reckon that she make an appearance on the 17th(ish) and that means she would be back to a 56day cycle (oh the Joy!!) I wonder if its worth a trip to Docs or if I should let it go like this for another couple of months to see if there is a pattern?
I'm so annoyed that I got myself worked up when I had that one day period and nothing else after it. I had utterly convinced myself that it was going to be a bfp


Joy - Hope the time flies for you leading up to your scan so you can see your bean.

Whit - congrats on your pup. What kind is it? What his/hers name?

Rach -Don't want to be too nosy, but what happened to you? Why are you complaining?

Kaylo - here's hoping time also flies for you

Suzi - Hope you are okay

Bubble? Seany? Where are you guys hiding?
Sorry to anyone I've missed

kaylo - I put in my complaint- and the nurse I first told was sooo cross, but I was too shocked to say anything at the time, but it was the horrible smile she gave me that made it worse, it was really patronising and sickly

Why have you got to wait until sseptember kaylo (sorry for asking!!)

Hello joy thats great that you are approaching your 12 week scan. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Hello, I'm still here!

Kaylo- yes it will be great when you can start in earnest in September. Less than 2 months away now, hurrah!

Whitty- congrats on your new pup.

Bubble- can't recall if I already said that I'm really sorry the clomid didn't work How are you doing now?

Ant- sorry too about your BFN. Still no sign of AF?

As for me, everything seems to be going as it should be, nothing to report but no mad panics either. Am 9w 4d and getting less anxious, finally. Have got my sights on 12w and the scan... really hope this bean stays sticky...

Hope everyone else is doing OK. Positive thinking ladies....

Hey-ho peeps, very quiet lately

Whitty I don't feel too bad these days...good days and bad days - today a very good day
TBH, I think as September approaches I get better and better - shallow I know, not to mention a tad selfish . Can't wait til September so we can actively start TTC. It's gonna be a happy time

Hows you hun? How's everything these days?

Well all you other guys must have very exciting lives I must say. I miss you all tho...I'm not at work and don't have much to do and I miss yooooouuuuuu!!!
But hope you're well
xxx

Yes kaylo Im back in action...my new furry friend is so hyper it keeps me going though.. how are you feeling these days

How is everyone today?

Whitty? Is it really you?

Welcome back - hope you're well and congrats on WhittyK9

Rach Cowbag isn't the word for that woman. How dare she be so presumptuous!! Grrrr. I may very well give someone like that a piece of my mind (and the table) if they said that to me!

Hope everyone is well

xxx

Hey girlies...its time for some good news around here so here goes...I got a new dog so excited...only thing new...

Sorry for being MIA...but I'm here for good now....anywho I see I missed alot and I hope things go better for us all....

lol kaylo she was the ultimate cowbag!

Hi Rach, welcome back. I hope you're feeling better and you gave that woman the 'what for'!! Terminations indeed (sorry...was reading other thread) I'd have slapped her with something heavy if I were you!!

Seany - hope you're ok, any ideas what's happening yet? It seems so weird for you to be so late with no BFP???

Hoping everyone is fine and dandy!! xxx

Heya evreyone, anyone got any GOOD news, I have just got out of hospital, and am feelig like I have little faith at the moment, and would love to hear any good news from you lot, lol.

Seany-How frustrating and annoying, its really unfair, and I hope it gets sorted out for you soon, x

Morning girls!

Seany, so sorry that you are in limbo, annovulatory cycles are cruel.
Bubblebell, so sorry that clomid didn';t work. My friend went through 5 months of clomid and then she conceived her little boy. One ogf my other friends had clomid twins and is on her second clomid pg, keep the faith, it will be worth it.

CD26 here, last month af arrived on cd 29, I think it may be cd30 this month. No chance though, no babydancing between cd's 10 and 16. I blame work patterns lol.

I am looking forward to next month.

Hi seany
so sorry AF hasnt shown again.. unfortunatly its an indication that you havnt ovulated which u knew already from the blood test on day 21.

my gp described irregular periods as this..... estrogen is the dominant hormone during the first part of your cycle and it prepares the womb lining. at the point of ovulation progesterone takes over and maintains the womb lining.. if no ovulation occurs then the estrogen continues to thicken the womb lining until it cant maintain it any longer. causing a bleed.... this is not a period merely our body not managing to mantain the thick womb lining and we often think its our period.

Have you had any of your tests done yet? u need to go armed with info on assisted fertility etc and get your gp to pull his bloody finger out... if he went any slower u would b moving backwards.
I feel so frustrated for you... u should be getting help.. tis not fair.

xxx

Sorry forgot to say hello to you rach

Hi girls,

I just popped back for a sec:

Welcome meanbeansmum

Bubble im so sorry to hear your results,i really hope the higher dosage works for you this month xx

Ant sorry about your bfn, though meanbean is right,you just never know,as that bleed you had was really strange.x

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

kaylo love the cheering

And just to update on me-af is officially 2 weeks late!! This is the longest cycle ever. Did test yest but bfn.Wish af would just hurry up so i can get on with my life! Though i don't know why but ive just got the strangest feeling that its not coming.who knows.

Have a good wkend everyone

ps suzi hope you're ok x

Hi girls!

ant im sorry it was a BFN i hope you get some answers soon. As for drowning your sorrows.... I would !!!

Hi and welcome to meanbean good luck on this ttc rollercoaster.

How is everyone else?

Im ok. Pissed that the clomid didnt work and that i have to take it again. Dreading the side effects... will end up with a divorce not a baby!!!

Ant sorry about the BFN, I tested -ve with ds2 on cd 34 and then had a bleed and had a bfp on cd 36.....you never know, good luck.x

Joy, 2-3 times a day was what was needed for ds2 lol. Although on average....this month according to my chart I've managed 14 times, we missed ovulation though lol. Always next month.

Good luck to all those undergoing treatment and to all those waiting to POAS.

Hi Ant, I'm so sorry about your BFN!! Are you ok? You're still late tho aren't you? What do u think, just a long cycle? Has AF even hinted her arrival yet? Wish I could give you better advice hun - I know how disappointing and often devastating it can be to have a little bit hope evaporate in front of you.
I'm also sorry that I haven't had much of a chance to come online today - DS's 3rd birthday and we've been out visiting family who couldn't come visit him.

Heres looking forward to next month with lots BD'ing and positivity (in every sense of the word! ) - because if nothing else we have to stay optimistic. Oooooh, I wish I had some pom poms!!

"Zero, One, Two, Three
What do we want...a BFP!!
Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten
If it's not a BFP we'll try again!!
Wooooooo - go team!!"


Hows everyone else, it's sounding like an empty sports hall in here.

Wherever you are - I hope you're having fun and are all well

Echo echo echo

just aswell it wasnt a BFP then, where is everyone.

Someone come tell me something reassuring....

BFN

Do you think it will be okay for me to drown my sorrows tonight??

Welcome meanbeansmum. Blimey, at first I read that to mean you were ttc 2-3 times a night! (breaks out in cold sweat).

Good luck!

Hi, I'm 28 mum of 3, ttc number 4. Not expecting anything soon as breastfeeding (although just 2 or three times a night, 17 month old) but a suprise would be lovely.

On cd 26 ish lol.

Joy - I never told anyone til I was about 16wks including the doctor!! I was very busy with Uni and hadn't registered with new Docs after moving to DP's village 6 months previous.(Definitely would not be able to manage that again)
The only person who guessed was DP's dad and this was because I was SO interested in what DP looked like as a baby in all his pictures.
