hey peeps :0)

I have been TTC for 3 months now to no avail, no idea why not, as am very healthy, fit and SWI at the 'right' times.
Getting slightly stressed as everyone around me is preggers or recently had a little one, which I am happy about but it seems to be happening to people that have/do all the things that everybody says to avoid having/doing!

I shall begin a list:)

hi all,
disappeared for a while as i was quite unwell over christmas so had to take a break from ttc, but i'm back!

monkeybubbles TTC #1 Cycle 4 UCL 27 CD 11

feeling like now that i'm healthy this is going to be it!

how's everybody else doing?

Purplelooby · 06/01/2011 21:13

Hey Giraffe - no I'm still sitting it out too. It's heart-breaking when you get symptoms that turn out to be false :(

Good luck for the new round of Clomid xx

I think you're right though, everyone else has gone and got knocked up.

I cracked and bought an ovulation test this month. What a waste of money.

GiraffeAHolic · 01/01/2011 21:51

Have you all gone off and got your BFPs??

GiraffeAHolic TTC#2 Cycle 21 UCL 60-170 CD 57 Sad

Last months Progesterone levels marginally better at 2.4 on CD21 but not good enough.

Thought we'd cracked it as had what I thought was implantation bleeding two weeks ago but no luck although still no AF Confused

Started Norethiserone yesterday to induce AF then another round of 100mg Clomid.

Purplelooby · 13/12/2010 22:43

Anyone out there? It's coming to That time of the month again...

Purplelooby · 29/11/2010 17:58

OK it's coming to that time again... let's get cycling!

Purplelooby · 22/11/2010 20:27

CrazyAlien · 21/11/2010 20:07

hi , was Alien06 in a previous life lol,

can someone please change my details- I am now on cycle 5 UCL 32-35?! on CD 2 at the mo!

sweetju I have confided in my good friend and my Mum x

sweetju · 20/11/2010 16:25

Hiya everyone

Well I've been trying to conceive now for three months.. actually just did a pregnancy test as I'm due next week, but have 1st response tests which you can do early and I had a BFN! Disappointed but who knows as it is quite early...

Its funny cos I was all laid back initially but it must be my competitive side that wants to get pregnant asap! hehe

Has anyone confided in anyone about ttc? I've kept it quiet cos want it to be a big surprise for everyone when i do get pregs!

Anybody know about BBT? Am thinking of starting.... xxx fairy dust to all *xx

GiraffeAHolic · 19/11/2010 11:32

Hi all, went AWOL for a while but discovered MNmobile so am here all the time back :-)

On 2nd round of Clomid, 100mg this time. Trying not to use OPKs this time as get slightly obsessed with them Blush

Blood test on 26th to determine ovulation or not, so fingers crossed (though feeling quite pessimistic :()

Oh and AF actually arrived naturally for the first time in months last cycle, about 3 hours after I paid for the norethiserone prescription Hmm

I do the flinging myself upside down thing with my legs up the wall, oh and glugging grapefruit juice, green tea and guanifisen!!

Purplelooby · 18/11/2010 19:57

Sounds promising suffering, let us know how it goes.

AF came along time after making me suffer the misery of a BFN - what an evil cow she is...

OK so I might as well update the stats:

Anyone else got any news?

sufferingbabyfever · 17/11/2010 22:11

Sorry to hear that looby.

I cracked and bought myself a CBFM. Im feeling confident this cycle. Since my last was 28 days and a normal cycle. My previous ones since coming off the pill have been very light and I always got bleeding mid cycle. Im thinking I may have returned to normal now. Yay!

Purplelooby · 17/11/2010 21:46

BFN Sad

Purplelooby · 17/11/2010 19:11

Hey gold, that sounds really poop... You might be right though - not trying will probably make you more chilled about the whole thing - I've got two separate friends who tried really hard and didn't get PG, then stopped trying and hey ho - BFP!

My stats today are: Purplelooby, TTC #1 Cycle 2 UCL 29 CD 29

So as you can see - AF was due today... not here yet. In fact, I might POAS tonight but I promised myself I would wait until Friday... hmm...

goldmaple · 17/11/2010 16:06

Having a bad month... don't feel too much like posting as DH and I are starting a new business and he has suddenly decided a baby might not be a good idea for a while (even though this was a condition for me doing the business). Oh well... 3 months wont kill me but if it takes us a year then I will be mad. i think we will still TTC but not as much (if that makes any sense). Maybe this whole relaxed approach will actually work?!

Sorry about your AF suffering Sad

Mine is due tomorrow and I have been moody all day, so it looks like it is planning to arrive bang on time... ah well.

By the way ladies: BUMP (where's everyone gone??)

Purplelooby · 13/11/2010 20:42

Sorry about AF gold and monkey Sad...

I have these pains in my lower abdomen on the left hand side. AF is due on Wednesday and I'm usually bang on time, so I'll POAS on Friday if she doesn't arrive. Learning lessons from last month with all the psychological symptoms.

Lesson though ladies - on the off-chance I get a BFP, it means that the cycling thing works Wink

goldmaple · 12/11/2010 15:03

AF got me too:( knew it was coming but still disappointing. Here come try number 4! But I'm convinced that THIS will be our month!!!

monkeybubbles · 12/11/2010 10:15

hello AF, ready for my new cycle now :)

Purplelooby · 10/11/2010 21:07

Getting bored of the 2ww Confused

Purplelooby · 09/11/2010 19:08

Maybe go on for ages about how fit some famous bloke or other is just before doing the deed... or watch a TV programme with them on.

For example - I'm sure I would have had a much higher chance of getting preggers when Mark Rampakash (sp.) was on Strictly... DH was fed up of me going on about him!
