Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Lots of shagging here! TTC#1 too. Have bought OPKs for next month if nothing happens. It seemed to work just doing that for Liz lol!!

Iwish · 29/11/2010 21:43

Hi Lou. I was on it for 10 years and like yourself I'm very impatient too, I want my bfp yesterday lol. Sorry you got bfn too, I need a bit of your positivity, ok if I take a little hehe?
Congrats Liz I bet you were do happy seeing the bfp! I've never had the pleasure yet, we are ttc #1.

So were you guys using opks or temping or just lots of shagging and crossing of fingers? You seem like a lovely lot, very welcoming :)

hiya iwish i was 5 cycles ttc and just got a bfp on friday. just when you think your bodys getting into a routine, it goes tits upGrin keep shagging on!

KLou111 · 29/11/2010 21:00

That helps Liz, hopefully just having same as you and my little bean is still hiding :)

Hi Iwish, welcome to our little club :) it's nice and friendly here.
I came off the pill after 13 years on 25th August so still relatively early, but am very impatient!!
We can sulk together, I tested this morning BFN, but still thinking positive

Iwish · 29/11/2010 19:25

Hi guys. Can I join the conversation? Just butting in for a bit of a sulk. How long have you all been ttc? I'm on cycle #4 and I'm sure af is going to show it's ugly face very soon :(. My last cycles have been 27, 25 and 26 so I was guessing this one would be the same but now cd28 no af and BFN this afternoon!

lizandlulu · 29/11/2010 19:11

exactly the same as me then. i tested negative on that digital test when i tested on day 31, which was about my usual length. then tested pos a week later. keep the faithGrin

KLou111 · 29/11/2010 17:24

Due on tomorrow if 28 day cycle. My 1st cycle was 35 days, then last was 28, so may be longer this month?? We've carried on SWI anyway, just every 3 days instead of 2, so if I did OV late, should still be some swimmers waiting!

Will test again tomorrow, as still feel strange, not AF strange, just strange.

lizandlulu · 29/11/2010 14:56

where is your cycle are you klou?

MadKatz · 29/11/2010 13:09

Sorry about your BFN KLou but like you say, might be too early xx

KLou111 · 29/11/2010 12:58

Sorry, didn't have power til now, electricians here.

Sorry to keep you in suspense, but is BFN :( gutted [teary emotion]

Am going to test tomorrow and every morning from now on, cos maybe early, so keeping positive x

lizandlulu · 29/11/2010 10:12

lizandlulu · 28/11/2010 20:24

i dont feel ok with buying stuff so soon! maybe i will feel more real after wed when i have been to the docs.

KLou111 · 28/11/2010 20:13

Thank you for the good luck :)

KLou111 · 28/11/2010 20:13

You can start buying Liz, you're excited, go for it!! I'd be the same.
Really I suppose you shouldn't buy anything til you're 'safe' but blow it, it's Christmas :)

If I get a + tomorrow, I'll be straight on the net looking for stuff lol!
DH better get his c/card ready!!

MadKatz · 28/11/2010 20:02

Good Luck KLou x

lizandlulu · 28/11/2010 19:33

GOOD LUCK klou i will be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed. i am still not really believing i am pregnant, i feel a fraud saying itGrin i have been in mamas and papas to slober over all the stuff to look for christmas presents, and the 2 blankets i planned to buy are still in stock. i will be treating myself soon but dont know who long to leave it. when is a acceptable time to start to buy do you think?

KLou111 · 28/11/2010 18:39

KLou111 · 26/11/2010 21:53

RugbyWidow7 · 26/11/2010 21:52

Huge congrats Liz! And good luck for Tues Klou! Fingers crossed for you.

There's a serious amount of SWI going on in our house this week, before DH starts his new job on Monday. I'm imagining symptoms already, but surely they take a while to kick in...

lizandlulu · 26/11/2010 21:26
