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?

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 15:05

CONGRATULATIONS Gruffalo So pleased for you and very Envy
Hope a couple more BFP's coming our way!!!

GruffaloMama · 14/11/2010 14:23

Hi - went for a Clearblue digital and it came up positive and conception 1-2 weeks ago - which is right by my dates. Smile Obviously delighted but a bit Shock. Had convinced myself it hadn't worked this month. Here's hoping for everyone. Hope it's okay to lurk a bit - really rooting for you all.

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 11:12

PS, yes been busy Grin

KLou111 · 14/11/2010 11:12

OMG Gruffalo!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Told you you all sounded hopeful!!!

Let us know about the other test, but as they say, A LINE IS A LINE!!!!!!

GruffaloMama · 14/11/2010 08:55

oh liz sorry. Lots of hugs. eaglewings - that sounds positive 0- and at least it'd be compensation for not fitting into the dress... 'klou guess you're 'busy' - good luck.

I think I got a positive test this morning. It was an internet cheapy and very faint so not counting my chickens just yet. Will buy another type later to check. Fingers crossed...

eaglewings · 13/11/2010 22:14

Sorry to hear that liz

I've got to wait unitl Tuesday unitl I'll know either way. Feeling sick all the time, but the sort where it helps to eat, not helping me get into the Little Black Dress next month!

I felt sick like this 2 months ago and nothing happened so not too hopeful yet

Would really love another summer baby, bbut it maybe 2012 at this rate Hmm

KLou111 · 13/11/2010 14:02

Bollocks!!!! Still may not show yet though liz

Well, I'm meant to be Oving Tuesday, fertile now. I'm not getting any EWCM so hopefully I'm OVing. Gonna get some grapefruit juice and EPO for next month if nothing happens. May invest in some OV sticks too.

lizandlulu · 13/11/2010 13:33

i bougth a clearblue digital last night, and that was neg, so just waiting for af to arrive nowSad

GruffaloMama · 12/11/2010 18:44

I know - it took [whispers] 14 months to get preg with DS. Am prepared for it to take that long again but dreading it. And don't get me started on all those years on the pill! Still no AF here but absolutely no pg symptoms either. Ho hum.

lizandlulu · 12/11/2010 17:31

klou, i am excatly the same. if i have said it once i have said it a hundred times, we spent our younger years terrified of getting pregnant and being really careful, when in reality, it takes some people forever!

KLou111 · 12/11/2010 16:19

I think you should test esp as AF not here yet.

Got to get some good news from one of us. All 3 of you are sounding promising TBH!!

I was totally naive going into all this TTC stuff.
I know it would take a while for my body to 'kick in' but I suppose you just think it's gonna happen straight away.

Didn't think it would take too long cos of how much you have to be careful to take your pill as you may get preggars!! Now I want it, it ain't happening!

GruffaloMama · 12/11/2010 14:25

Surely one of us at least deserves some luck this month! Liz hope you're feeling better...

Well now spotting stopped completely (with no AF in sight) and morning temp up to 36.7 - never been above 36.5 in two months of charting. V bloody Confused.

Not sure if I should test again on Sunday (AF due - I think) or what.

MadKatz · 12/11/2010 13:04

Yes still bloody water, although a lot less today.

I agree KLou, why can't it just happen?

lizandlulu · 12/11/2010 10:21

hear hear klou!! still no af for me, feel realy rubbish too. and got a horrible taste at the back of my throatSad nowt to do with being pg, but still pissing me offGrin

KLou111 · 12/11/2010 10:14

It's bloody shite ain't it????? Why can't we all just get preggars!!!!!

GruffaloMama · 11/11/2010 21:22

It seems we're all confused. I started spotting yesterday but then stopped. Did a test this morning (BFN) - not surprised - but AF still not arrived. Don't feel preg but wondering if I actually ov'ed when I thought I did.

Wishing for clarity for everyone (and a lovely BFP for someone!!!)

lizandlulu · 11/11/2010 15:47

still having bloody water?

MadKatz · 11/11/2010 13:28

Hi All,

Still the same today.

Am definitely going to test on Saturday, just to try and understand what's going onConfused.

lizandlulu · 11/11/2010 10:23

still no af Hmm

lizandlulu · 10/11/2010 19:03

no idea, i am sure our bodies just do what the hell they want, just to confuse us and piss us offGrin

KLou111 · 10/11/2010 18:43

I'd just perhaps test in a couple of days again if AF doesn't come.

Well, I'm having that strange metal taste in my mouth again.

I'm all confused; finished AF on Saturday, CD1 Tuesday, due to ovulate this weekend, yet got this odd taste???

Thought you only got that when ovulating or if you were preggars?!?!?!?

lizandlulu · 10/11/2010 18:01

well it can be anywhere between 27-30 days so i might be jumping the gun abit. i felt very wet on saturday which is unusual for me, which made me think i might have ovulated late and got all my dates wrong and missed my windowSad time will tell

KLou111 · 10/11/2010 16:54

Sorry about BFN Liz. May be too early though. What's your usual cycle length?
