Let's make some May babies

The end of July is drawing near; SWI with DP hasn't been as frequent as hoped; and I've decided to err on the side of caution.

So. Here's a thread for anyone else hoping to make a beautiful May 2012 baby.

I am 27 and TTC #1. Been on pill for an age so unsure of cycles. Only been trying for a couple of weeks - the more I type the more I note my wild optimism!!

Anyone else who knows more about this business than I do? Please come and give me some hope that a May baby might be at all possible :)

Hey guys, checking in, hope everyone's well!

Thought I'd add myself to the bottom of the list and get down to some serious SWI!!

mildertduck · 23/08/2011 12:57

HEAVE.

Has mostly been what I've been doing this morning. Egads, that was not pleasant. But I can't decide whether or not it was just my body messing me around cos I'd been thinking about morning sickness on the way to work. Feeling better having been sipping mint tea for a while, happily.

No other symptoms. CM can't decide whether it's sticky or creamy. Feeling bloaty again and a bit crampy. Husband also thinks the boobage is feeling weird (ah, the advantages of him being not a leg man - he knows them better than I do...) "not as firm as normal; a bit like risen pizza dough before knocking it back" (thanks, love). They don't ache or anything, but they never do anyway.

I am 9DPO and I have a full blown obsession. And this is only cycle 1! Waah!

desperateoldie67 · 23/08/2011 12:13

Now I'm feeling REALLY depressed (and desperate - boom boom tsh!). I used to be a runner before double knee surgery for shitty cartilage :(

Enjoy your run for me Quenelle :)

Quenelle · 23/08/2011 12:10

That's the spirit desperate. I'm going to go out for a run now and jolly well try and cheer up.

desperateoldie67 · 23/08/2011 12:03

Thanks for the commiserations ladies...you're all amazing [kisses]

Good luck to all those yet to POAS - don't do it too early, it'll only stress you out more (she says, sagely)

See all those that strike out on the June bus hopefully...it's already quite cheery on there...nice decs, food, booze :)

I'm not letting this get me down, even though my age is most definitely against me. It's my 44th birthday this coming month, and I'm going to be shagging for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and any other country that pops into my head at the time - god help Mr Desperate! :o

Quenelle · 23/08/2011 11:39

Hi everyone. Lots to catch up on here.

Firstly congratulations Kveta. Great news!

And commiserations desperateoldie67 sorry you're out this month.

I think I'm going to be out too. All the metallic taste and dicky tummy etc have gone, I think they were down to the conception vitamins. All I'm feeling now are PMT symptoms, pinchy boobs and stomach cramps. Like you Kinky when I had DS I knew I was pregnant, this time I'm trying to convince myself, but at the same time trying not to get my hopes up.

I've already worked out that DH and I will struggle to SWI in the next two months because DH will be away. We'll have to try and get some in before he leaves. And the absolute worst thing is I'm going camping for 4 days on Monday so if AF arrives that day I'll have my sodding period from start to finish [miserable]

GTR2882 · 23/08/2011 11:23

Thanks Puzzle - I can be quite irregular so I was hoping the sticks would have helped somewhat; i am charting in other ways as well so just going to have a lot of SWI and pray that I actually ov this cycle - already tired of TTC and we've only been at it 3 months! I am also using Pre-Seed so hoping that it will help as well!!

YeahThatsTheBadger · 23/08/2011 11:16

Oh no desperate :( I'm so sorry. There's no time to waste-start drawing up your plan of attack!

Still no AF. Day 29 out of 27. Haven't POAnotherS yet. As someone said upthread, it's more crushing to poas and see a BFN than it is to find out AF has arrived. I need to think happy thoughts while I wait!

Lots of positive thoughts (and tests) for those due to poas soon.

puzzletree · 23/08/2011 10:56

I don't know if I did or not as I haven't been charting or anything, time will tell... Also this is my 2nd cycle after miscarriage so it may be a little out anyway. But in the past I have always been very regular and have got pregnant easily so I think it's most likely that I have ovulated and the tests didn't show it.
I think Catsy said in another thread that she never got a positive with the ov sticks when she used them in the past, but got pregnant that cycle anyway so must have ovulated. So I think they are quite unreliable!!!

GTR2882 · 23/08/2011 10:37

Puzzle do you know if you O'd this month, despite the faint test line? My lines do seem to be getting darker, but I have read that these ov sticks are not all that accurate!! Confused

puzzletree · 23/08/2011 10:18

Hi everyone, just catching up, there's a lot to read!
Desperate :( so sorry it wasn't your month. Really hope you get lucky very soon.
GTR I didn't get anywhere with ov sticks this month, the only time I got any sort of line it was nowhere near as dark as the test line.
Everyone else in limbo, I hope the signs whether real or imagined :) turn out to be positive for you all!
I'm on day23 and resisting the urge to test; I know it's too soon, I've got no symptoms but I have got a pile of them. Hmm.. maybe first thing tomorrow, just to check :)
Catsy any more news from you? Hope you're ok.

mrsshears · 23/08/2011 09:42

sorry af got you desperate

I'm still really crampy and massivley bloated now too,i just feel like AF is going to come early,if i'm not pg then af will have her visit the week i'm on holiday,which is a pain!
I'm going to test this fri before i go which will be cd27(9dpo),probably too early but then at least i will have an idea if af is going to show up or not

good luck to everyone due to poas!

KinkyDorito · 23/08/2011 09:06

loulou I hope it settles down soon for you. I used to get injections, but stopped when I read some articles claiming it can zap your fertility completely. It's pretty scary given they peddle it on teenage girls in some areas to try and reduce teen pregnancy rates Sad.

KinkyDorito · 23/08/2011 09:01

desperate that's shit. Sending virtual fudge and vodka your way.

I tested again and BFN. I expect AF, I just hope it comes as due in the morning so I don't have a few extra day to wait. When I had DS, I really knew. This time I feel like I've been trying to convince myself.

Something for a quick read:

www.babyexpert.com/get-pregnant/fertility/increase-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant-6053

I was really interested in the sexual positions bit. (Oooo, Kinky) Seriously, I have a tilted womb, and when I fell pg with DS it had been a (TMI ALERT) more adventurous evening in the Kinky household with a bit of doggy style. And it worked. So now I have a plan for next month Grin.

louloubellamozzarella · 23/08/2011 08:56

Mornin' all.

Sorry to hear that desperate :( - enjoy a glass bottle of wine to raise your spirits Wine

I think we might need to start a June thread... My body is still showing no signs of doing ...erm... anything really. POAS this morning just to check and BFN. Time to buy some ov sticks to check that there are actually some eggs in the system I think! Fingers crossed that mr pill hasn't f*cked up my cycles too much :(

OP posts:
GTR2882 · 23/08/2011 08:00

So sorry to hear that desperate will keep everything crossed for next month (I also apologise for not adding you back onto the list yesterday, please accept this chocolate as an olive branch - i really was having a bad day!!)

I am due to "O" in the next 1-5 days, but this morning I am very crampy although I am not due AF until 10th(ish) of September; my body is playing tricks on me or could it be IBS (i do suffer when I get a little stressed, and this TTC malarkey is definitely not helping!!)

Argh!!!!!!!!! Angry

desperateoldie67 · 23/08/2011 06:20

That's me out for this month ladies...don't know what in the name of all that is dreadfully unholy my body thought it was doing for the last 10 days, but hey ho, onwards and upwards... :(

Fingers crossed for all those still waiting :)

Discolite · 22/08/2011 23:14

I've disappeared! Thankfully not in real life (magical), just from the list. Just added myself back in. Those of you in the 2WW may scoff but I'm fed up of just waiting for bloody ovulation. Come on egg.

This carry on is fecking torture. I don't want to go insane with the waiting and the am I, aren't I malarky. I wasn't like this the last two times so i'm not sure why I'm like it now!

BIG BAG OF SHITE.

(That feels a bit better now actually!)

desperateoldie67 · 22/08/2011 20:53

I'm definitely trying not to read too much into it but they look kinda weird LOL! :o

orangehead · 22/08/2011 20:31

I had veiny boobs he other month, thought it was a sign but not.
Af due wed, dont really have any signs that af on way, normally get bad pmt, very painful boobs, greasy hair. But nothing. No preg symptoms either Confused I hope I am not going to be late

KinkyDorito · 22/08/2011 20:25

desperate nearly posted about my veiny boobs earlier!! I was very excited, although DH claims they are like that from time to time Confused. So, so, so many symptoms! At least you are late now, so that's good. I've got a day to go yet.
