Well I think after all our chatting its about time we had a new thread, as the previous one was very lucky for us, lets hope this one remains just as lucky.

Remember ladies - Our time will come, but our bodies have to be ready, and we are all here to support each other.

For those new people please feel free to check out our Stats thread, to see some info about us and leave you details if you want to.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

mumswish - i agree with coathanger you're not too young. Lottielou who is on here with us too is only 22 and she has had one miscarriage and poss another one recently although unconfirmed.
I'm 25 and started when i was just 24, as long as you feel ready then there is not right or wrong time.

Just been having a look at the stats thread.

Slinkie - Notice you are a student. What you studying??

Babybloos - Your MC was same time as mine. Mine was 9th August. I already have 3 boys and it was my first MC too.

Mumswish - Your not too young to start wanting a family. If you feel ready then whynot! I was 21 when I decided I wanted a family. It took me 3 years and clomid treatment to fall with my first though so was 24 by the time he came along!

Diddle · 27/09/2005 12:21

mumswish - you need to watch be prepared for the fact that if you don't get pg straight away that you're child may miss the cut off and not go to school when you hope them to.

AF = Aunty Flo/period

slinkstah · 27/09/2005 12:08

mumswish- yeah it is nov beginning of dec time for due date at end of august, i know as my dd was due on 25th august and born on 31st august and i was due to be born on 25th august too and was born yep youve guessed it 31st august so my dd and i share our birthdays which is great- as her 18th will be my 40th cool eh!

although if your boyf want baby to be oldest in school you need to make sur baby is born after 31st august as this is cut of date and dd is youngest in class- although its not that bad as you dont have to wait an extra year for them to start school.

HellKat · 27/09/2005 12:04

Off to get bits and pieces done all. Be back later xx

HellKat · 27/09/2005 12:03

Pill wise I'd go ahead and stop now. I came off 1st Jan and fell pg 12th Feb. But as Diddle says, it normally takes around 3 months or so to clear out of your body.

HellKat · 27/09/2005 12:02

Welcome Mumswish!
Sorry to hear of your loss. Nice of you to join us though. Have you put your details on our stats thread?
Any abbreviations your're not sure with either check out the acronyms list at the top of the page or just ask.
No idea where I am cycle wise (varies constantly).
Brief abbreviations are:
Dh/dp= darling husband/partner.
dd/ds= darling daughter/son.
bfp/bfn= big fat positive/negative.(for pg tests).
pg=pregnant
mc=miscarriage.
ov=ovulating/ovulation.
cm= cervical mucus (lovely! )
Can't think of many others but any questions, ask away!

mumswish · 27/09/2005 11:58

Dont know when my mid-cycle is as never had regular periods. To the point of bleeding for 3 weeks one month and only 2 days the next. With a space of 2 weeks between them. Its soooo confusing this pg lark. Was meant to be easy.

be back soon, as off for lunch and only have net access at work.

mumswish · 27/09/2005 11:56

ok so If (boyfs logic) want baby to be born around end of august that means I should be thinking about being pregnant around Nov which means I should be coming off my pills after this round yeh? (2 more weeks of pills to go)

Diddle · 27/09/2005 11:56

Mumswish - I would come off the pill to let your body adjust, but only if you want to be pregnant pretty soon, or if you would rather wait maybe stop it at the beginning of december, or january. there is not guarantee that it won't clear your system before 3 months. could you not have sex, or try to avoid it mid-cycle.

OP posts:
mumswish · 27/09/2005 11:52

Also I've always had very unusual periods. That was mainly why I was taking the pill in the first place. Since I had my m/c (operation needed) they've been even worse.

Now I dont know whether I should come off the pill now to let it all settle down before trying but I have no other way of protecting esp seeing as I dont really want to be pregnant over xmas as the worrying will ruin xmas for me.

Coathanger · 27/09/2005 11:52

Sorry should have said I was PG with 2 of my 3 boys for 10 months coz was 2 weeks overdue

Coathanger · 27/09/2005 11:51

Mornig all!

Just a quickie coz i've got to pick little'un up from nursery.

Hi Mumswish!! Its good to have another newie on here! Officially I think it takes a couple of months for the pill to get out off your system, but I have had friends who have fallen PG (pregnant) straight away after stopping. Hope that helps And I was PG with my 2 of my 3 boys coz I was overdue by 2 weeks, but you are actually PG for 9 months and 1 week!

Right I think I'm typed out now! Still feeling pretty cr@ppy, had a terrible night, what with cold at its height and DS3 being a pickle. Made DH stay up after getting in from night shift to take kids to school coz I was too poorly to do it, then went back to bed. Got to pick DS3 up from school nw so will have to go.

Oh, glad that image made you chuckle HK!!

I'll be back later and perhaps I'll have a bit more strength to talk for longer xxxx

Diddle · 27/09/2005 11:41

mumswish - welcome to our group, i am so sorry to hear of your loss, no matter how long ago i know that it will still be heartbreaking for you.

Apparently it can take 3 months for the pill pills to wear off, i was on it for 1 yr before we started trying and after 3 months of trying i conceived, and miscarried.
You are pregnant for 10 months because 40 weeks is not 9 moths it is closer to 10.

Slinkstah - what horrible hospital treatment you had, that sound sterrible, you'd think they would be more synpathetic in such a, supposedly caring job. I think although you've had a bad experience it might just be worth changing hospitals, rather than going it alone.
I think it was you that said you were getting on a bit, can't believe 32 is getting on. keep trying you have plenty of time.

Hope everyone else is ok

mumswish · 27/09/2005 11:19

Slinkstah -

I'm on the pill at the moment so my first day of "af?" doesnt really matter does it?

When should I stop taking my pill? I've been on it for 2 (about) years now and I've heard that with the injections you have to give it time to "wear off" is it the same with the pills?

Also is it true you're actually pregnant 4 10 months?

slinkstah · 27/09/2005 11:13

mumswish - cd day 1 is first day of AF common to ov on cd14 if cycle is 28 days, which means you can test on cd24 with early pg test.

i am on cd12 today but i think i have already ov - and i think i have missed the boat this month as dp was too drunk on sat night to perform lol and too hungover on sunday night to perform !!! am gonna still try for the rest of week though just in case. oh dp is not alchofrolic it was a one off- just incase you thought i was ttc with a drunken man lol

mumswish · 27/09/2005 11:11

Thanks for the welcome slinkstah.

Hope everybody is okay today.

I'm at work so I'm bored out of my mind and also freezing cold. (no heaters)

slinkstah · 27/09/2005 11:05

wow - took me alot of time to catch up this morning as went to visit my sister over weekend and only popped in breifly yesterday.

diddle- yeah thought id add myself to the stats- was worried i put tmi - i was treated bad by hospital anyway, midwifes were nasty felt complete burden in hospital and was made to feel like stupid little girl when crying when waters broke etc. if/when i get pregnant this time i am very worried about what care i will get - will probably consider hospitals at other side of london. or maybe i will just not book in anywhere and look after myself.

chocolateP - glad your af not here, when are you testing??

coathanger- when and where is mn xmas meet - have not really heard of it have not been on mn for a while, hope your cold is bit better today

welcome mumswish- i am new too

mumswish · 27/09/2005 10:58

Hi,

I'm not sure if you mind that I join in. I had a misscarriage last Nov (04) and we've not tried again since (yet) due to money and housing and emotional problems. After much needed talk to my boyf we've finally decided to try.

Although his man logic is that he wants a baby in late august early sept so that its the eldest in its class.

I dont understand your abbreviations I'm afraid so I've written it in long words.

I'm completely new at this and havent the slightest clue where to start or how to tell me "cd" days etc.

I've read both the threads and shared in the joys and pains with you all, I think you're a great bunch of girls and hope you'll let me join in your fun

maddyd · 27/09/2005 09:15
