Let's make some May babies

Gah, I'm overweight too... Think my BMI's in the early 30s too - it is, as missuswife says, just about making sensible food choices when ttc and not going mad 'eating for two' when pg! (Something I've always failed at, natch!)

As for passive-aggressive shit from others. Well, fuck 'em; that kind of comment's always more about their hang ups than you! It's not as if you're in the 'needs a mobility scooter to get about' category!! :) :) :)

I'm overweight too but the practice nurse at my new GP surgery was way less stressed about it than I expected. I just found out I'm hypothyroid, after trying to slim for a year and only getting bigger and bigger. I've decided to just eat small portions of healthy foods and not worry too much. I also read a quote that's been inspiring me, "eat for the body you want, not the body you have." That has helped a lot when making choices. But mostly I'm just trying to eat nutritiously and not get any bigger.

Haters just wanna hate, don't waste your energy on them.

Anyone here overweight and ttc? Had s real meany on another thread who kindly pointed I wasn't just overweight...I'm obese with a bmi of 33....thanks to them for pointing that out and then 'wishing me luck'! !

Sorry guys! My AF is due 25th august.

Hi ladies,

I posted elsewhere on MN but just thought I'd join the May Baby Zeppelin (buses are so dreary). I'm 31, and we're TTC our first child. I just stopped taking the pill two weeks ago after thirteen years. I got a twinge on Tuesday this week so I checked the ovulation chart thingy and it said I am indeed supposed to be ovulating right now. I had very regular 28 cycles before going on the pill so hopefully that is still the case.

We're being pretty relaxed about TTC, but it would be exciting if it happened soon.

Astroness......Can we be a spaceship?

I have spent the day on google again instead of unpacking boxes. Dush.

However I have found out that I most likely keep getting BFNs because despite was it says on the tin, at AF-5 hCG would still only be visible in a blood test. For POAS I'll have to wait until at least Sunday (AF-2) and even then, only 25% will get a positive.

What was the point of getting 10mIU/ml tests? Dammit, I want to know NOW but at least there's still hope for a potential bun.

I would also like to state that I am categorically against baby dust or any form of sparkly ickle (ugh) wishes of whatever. Makes me want to vom.

Re: baby dust being crusty spunk- LMAOYSST. :o

By the way, I've got terrible heartburn this evening...

PS. Are we a bus? Or shall we pick a more interesting mode of transport? Never did like buses much...

I'm still here and SWI. My body is playing tricks on me and suggesting I might be ovulating sooner than normal. So we've started the SWI early just in case. The things we have to do eh!

I'm all pre-seeded up, and it was our first cycle using pre-seed that we fell pregnant with DD...so I'm feeling hopeful!

Feels like ages since I began this cycle but I'm only on CD12 or so Aaages til testing.

hello mama5!
there's a little ovulation calculator thing over there ---> which you can use to predict when you'll be most fertile.

Hi mama5 nice to see you! You're most fertile round the time you ovulate, so if you don't want to chart, it is round when you have the EWCM appear, or when your cervix feels soft (I have NEVER managed to find my cervix - I keep it up near my tonsils somewhere)! Lovely!! The average is 14 days after AF starts, on a 28 day cycle, but can vary from person to person.

Quenelle as long as it doesn't go pinging across the room....

Mama5 I believe it depends on your cycle length but your most fertile days are normally somewhere roughly about CD 12-15 if CD1 is the first day of bleeding.

Someone may correct me though. Different for everyone anyway...

haha this thread is so funny! I've had my legs up and DH laughed like a drain until I showed him that the NHS or BBC or some other gov't site actually RECOMMENDED it for TTC

got bored after a bit tho and went to sleep. It didn't work anyway :D

I agree with whoever said about the not realising how 'hard' it was to conceive. I was taught I swear that if a Manjo even comes close to you, that's it - there'll be twins growing inside you before you can blink.

Now I discover its only a few days a month and you've got to obsess work out which days they are!

At the moment i'm just waiting... waiting.. waiting for my period to arrive after implant removal 4 weeks ago so I can get started properly. Not that we haven't been practicing the last 4 weeks just in case

hello - im getting on this bus - (my DH dropped me at the busvstop so jumping on the first bus that came along!
Waving to faces i know!!!!!!!! puzzletree & Catsycat!!!!!)

ok before i go mad how long after your af has gone are you most fertile!!!!!!!
im so confused never watched it like this before but now my DH has given me the go get pregnant look, i really want it to happen now had a MMC in June and my af came on the 27th July 5 days!!!!
what to do now!!!!!!!

Catsycat I have this nightmare vision of residual Preseed causing the Softcup to slide out of its own accord at an inopportune moment. (As if there is an opportune moment )

Hi Harryan Sorry about your MC. Good luck with #3.

Rusulka Enjoying "Manjo". Will definitely be adopting that one...

Quenelle I stand corrected on the idea of the cup to keep the product in. You learn something new every day. But I still don't think it would work.

Am now thinking of starting the Dukan Diet as I just weighed myself and I am far fatter than I thought.

Sooo pleased we're not wishing baby dust on each other on here. It freaks me out, though I suppose it's well meant! (Still laugh at it though).

Hello! :) Am I too late to join??
Am 30 and started ttc#3 beginning of this month! :)
Had a miscarraige last year after a surprise pg....Since realised We really want a 3rd and final babby :)

Haha, this thread is so funny. Glad you've all got a sense of humour!
Really looking forward for this period to be over so I can get on with sign-spotting, and calculating the best opportunities to jump on DP. In the past we've been able to conceive quite easily by just having sex a lot when I felt up for it- guess this co-incided with fertile time. So will probably go with that approach again, but with a bit of added knowledge :)

I also agree with you all that it's unfortunate that we are so fertile when we're young, but i suppose that's just nature's way of propagating the human race. Shame humans mentally tend to grow up so slowly!

Manjo!

Hi and welcome HeidiHole, Clandy, LadyGrace and Tibbycat. Cor, there's quite a crowd of us in this bus shelter now isn't there? We'll all have to schooch up to stay dry in this weather.

Sorry Tibby, no experience re coil removal or weight gain, although isn't weight loss more likely to result in periods stopping?

I confess I stuck a pillow under my bum for 5 minutes after SWI last time I was TTC. I also didn't go for a run the day after, in case stuff got jiggled out quicker (that was DH's idea so I wasn't the only one making daft suggestions).

Right, so no wishing each other babydust on here then. May I just say to you all then that I hope all your spunk is wet and not crusty for as long as you all need it.
