Thank you Orange, here's hoping I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to get my hopes up now which is against every fibre of my pessimistic being!

I have put you on

obe a couple of the ladies on dec bus kept getting bfn till I think nearly a week late then finally got bfp, fx for you.

thank you orangehead, I think I'm getting it now. won't repeat all the stats immediately but I would be:
wouldbemumandotherstuff (32) TTC#1, cycle 4, ucl 26-39, AF due ???April 30th??

ought to go and cook dinner for DH now - usually he cooks, but he's back from a 2 week business trip tonight and I have just been MNing all afternoon! plus if I'm getting the hang of reading my CM we should have been SWI 2 days ago, so there is a plan for tonight!

lovely to 'meet' you all, so to speak!

Oops!! Lots of x-posts! I have ds up late being a monster

Orange I'm now 8 days late going by the normal 28 day cycle length

Thanks

Carlita What amazing timing!! Hope everyone's upcoming weddings, honeymoons and holidays are wonderful. I am suitably envious
I used to have 28-30 day cycles before having ds, then had the merina coil which stopped my periods for over a year. So there's every posibility that my body is just getting used to having the coil removed (less than a couple of months ago), although I had been assured that cycles tend to return to normal pretty much straight away after having the coil removed...so it's anyone's guess!
I am pretty certain that I ovulated at around the 26th April. So I'm either pregnant and not releasing enough of the HCG hormone for the test to pick up yet or I'm having one wierd cycle!

Trope I know exactly what you mean about those bloody websites and picking out possible symptoms! Regularly giving myself a psychological slap across the face when I start thinking it a possibilty, would make AF's arrival so much more painful.

Welcome Wouldbe! Will try and translate the stats for you. So my stats are:
OBeSomeOtherName (23) TTC #2 Cycle1 UCL 28(?)days AFdue 8th April(ish)

Meaning:
Nickname (age),
TTC#2 = Trying to conceive second child
Cycle1 = First cycle since starting to try to conceive
UCL 28 days = usual cycle length 28 days
AFdue 8th April = Next period due on 8th April

Hope that makes sense and is correct!

[grabs a lemon cupcake] thanks.
How late are you obe.
Carlita how exciting your wedding coming up. Hope you have a lovely day.
Welcome wouldbemum. For stats copy and paste the previous stats and insert in order of when af due, so something like
wouldbemumandotherstuff TTC#1 Cycle 4(it that right as since jan) ucl (usual cylce length) 26-39 af ???
Hope that makes sense I am not the best at explaining.

Have just seen the advertising on the right-mumsnet wine club - are they taking the piss!!!!

Sorry stats!- am 32, TTC#1, Cycle 31-38, CD8, due 12th May.
time
x

Can I join up - TTC 11 months now, 2012 here we come, CD8, af due 12th May.......

can I join in too? just signed up for MN and, like Liliana, still trying to get the lingo! so hello to everyone!

strangely nervous about starting to post - this is all very new! but brief intro, DH and I have been TTC no.1 since Jan, so really hoping for early 2012 now! my cycle is anywhere between 26 and 39 which is getting irritating, came off microgynon 30 over a year ago, and really hoped it would have sorted itself out by now but stress at work can't help.

Question - earlier in the posts, some of you were talking about and giving stats - I could figure out some of it, but an explanation would be great for a newbie! thanks!

Carlita congratulations on your upcoming wedding, hope the day is wonderful. Perfect timing with your cycle - my friend was trying for ages and then got pg while on holiday - seems to be few stories around about how holidays help with conception. Fx for you xx

Thanks Obe slowly getting the lingo!! Hope you're body is getting ready for a BFP

OBe how frustrating! Is that normal for you to be so late? Fingers crossed your hormone levels are building up for a lovely BFP!
liliana sounds like you and DH are in for a good weekend! What good timing with your window! Can't wait for that to be me! Only 13 days till TTC and happily wedding night and beginning of honeymoon coincide with my window!

Hi everyone! Sorry but I will continue to be crap over the next couple of days - ds is better but now I'm ill instead! Flu like symptoms with sinusitis

Still no AF and another BFN! I'll be of to the doctors for a blood test next week at this rate!

Liliana, AF stands for 'aunt flo'/period It took me a while to work it out too!
Lemon cupcakes sound amazing [drool]

Morning! Brought lemon cupcakes for coffee break and have a few questions.

Can I please be stupid and ask what is AF? can't find it in the acronyms.

I should be fertile today / tomorrow so going down the route of having lots of sex - as my DH works away we have limited opportunities :) Looked at using ovulation strips - do they help and are they worth it?

In case anyone else was pondering the etymology of clutching/grabbing at straws: This idiom refers to a drowning man grabbing any floating object, even a straw, to save himself. It was first used by Thomas More in Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation (1534).
Just me? ;)

babysade ooh lovely! We're planning on railay, koh phi phi, koh lanta and Bangkok, can't wait!
Also loving your symptom spotting straw clutching! Could do with a bit more of that this weekend followed by lots of lovely BFPs!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the new ladies!

orangehead I can just about face every other day, I really dont think I could manage anymore than that. Its such an effort

I am probably about 7 DPO, no symptoms to mention apart from I am really spotty. I dont normally get any spots maybe one or two just before AF. I am grasping at straws here! Anymore news on anyone who is due AF over the next few days?! Some more BFP's would cheer me up.

carlita we went to Bangkok and Koh Samui, had such an amazing time. Thai people are so welcoming, great views and great food. We had a massage everyday. Im so jealous, I wanna go back! Good luck with all the last minute wedding plans

Boogie I always thought evey second day best but just started readig Zita Wests book and she says its a myth and basically the more sex the better so I am a bit confused now.
Thanks for the muffin Molly.
Welcome Liliana

Hi! Can I join? Been trying to avoid this as don't want to become neurotic about getting pregnant but that is obviously not going to happen so thought I might as well embrace the situation and meet some new people who I can stress about this with share this happy time with

So my story in brief:
I'm 31, was with the hospital for 4 years having abnormal smear after abnormal smear but they couldn't find anything wrong. Finally told I am 'Normal' (yeah right!). Stopped taking the pill a year ago with a 'if it happens it happens attitude' and from December been actively TTC, now can't wait for it to happen!!

So any advice welcome as this is my first:)

Congratualtions Carlita. Hope you have a wonderful day. Also exciting stuff with your sister all the best :)
Lets hope we have a good weekend and more bfps for Monday xx

whitegold yes, all sorted for wedding thanks, we are having the reception in our local pub so haven't got lots of details like table plans and place names to sort out, just having a buffet, a couple of speeches and lots of music. Looking forward to it now. The only thing is I have quite a lot of sewing to do, I am making bunting to decorate the pub and although all the triangles are made, ironing them and sewing to tape takes an unbelievable amount of time when you're making 64 metres worth!
Our cycles are very close so will be relying on you for support to stop me from poas every 5 mins from next cycle, I am not a patient person!
trope I have everything crossed for you but have to say I was absolutely certain I was pg when I stopped the pill last summer (even though we weren't TTC and were using condoms!) as felt so pregnant and had every symptom. I web said to dp "if I'm not pregnant I'm mad" evidently the latter as was just my body adjusting. Not trying to POYP though as lots of people do get pg straight away due to the fertility boost you get - in fact my best friend did, first cycle off the pill. Rambling now, just felt I should say. :)
