Let's make some May babies

Another BFN.
Why do I keep doing this to myself?
Good job I bought a bulk pack...

Going to have a cup of tea, make some jewellery and sulk until the postman gets here then yell at him for not doing his job properly wait patiently for the post.

I'm glad it's raining, I can't be arsed to water the plants.

Hello everyone! Please may I join you all, me and my oh have been discussing the possibility of trying for baby number 2 setting our sights on starting to try in October however broodiness has got the better of us and as of today we are ttc!

I am 23 and have an 18 month old dd xx

A chippy tea and all these holidays. You're all making me jealous.

Interesting about the cough syrup

Can I join? I was lurking obsessively on the April baby bus thread but I think it will drive on without me.

Just had my implant out 4 weeks ago (to the day) and no period yet. Was SWI excitedly especially when some EWCM showed up.

Now I feel very definite cramps in lower tummy, nausea/dizzyness but took a test today (early response) and was negative. Its been 14 days since I thought I was ovulating (just from mucas state) so should have been picked up on that! Got a commiserations chippy in for dinner. It's just that I was CONVINCED I was feeling symptoms that makes it a bigger disappointment.

Now I just have to sit and wait for AF to arrive (4 weeks since implant removed and no sign?) so I can work out dates to try again.

Good luck every one and lots of baby dust hun's

Rusulka I've seen Robitussin recommended for people on Clomid before, as that has a similar effect on the EWCM (which Clomid can deplete rather, apparently!). Hope the Benylin works on your cough, and that you are just testing too soon to get a BFP!

Sorry you got a BFN notnow...

Have a good holiday Loulou!

I have found the most hilarious solution to my cough. Benylin Chesty Coughs doesn't sound that hilarious, but wait: there's more!
The active ingredients are levomenthol (a decongestant, apparently safe in pregnancy I think) and guaifenesin (an expectorant).
Here comes the hilarious bit.
That particular expectorant works by thinning out the mucus in your lungs so you can cough it up. Graphic, sorry, but worth it for this next bit!
...
It works on ALL the mucus in your body.

:o :o :o

LMAO as I write this, but I brought it home and checked online, and apparently some women are using it to ensure EWCM lasts a bit longer when ovulating.

Isn't that the most awesome thing ever?

So even if I do end up with a BFN, it's worth having in the cupboard. :)

Run out and tell all your friends!

Have a lovely holiday Loulou - come back with details if you recommend the place.

I'm honestly not such a drunken strumpet as I sound! It's just the first week of the summer holidays and as such doesn't count

Thanks mildert. At least if I'm not pg I don't have to worry about a pointy-head baby due to the wine excesses of Saturday night (and the one before)! I'm going to clear the decks and behave as if my body is a temple...except when I'm on holiday next week, which will be before ovulation so all bets are off and Turkish beer is on.

Rusulka it's still very early days. If you can't get to your GP you could ask a pharmacist what would be safe to use. They were very helpful when I was BFing and wanted recommendations for cough/cold medicine (almost none is suitable as it turns out).

Kveta that sounds tough. DS is currently going through a phase of hitting the roof if we leave him alone in his room at night. We have to take it in turns to lie next to the cot until he is asleep and then tiptoe out. I just don't have the will to do CC again, I can't live with the guilt.

repeat after me 'This too shall pass...'

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you, notnow - might it just be a wee (excuse the pun) bit early and there's still time before AF's due?

Rusulka, go and see your GP about a chest infection! that will get family off your case, and you can say to him/her that you may be pg, and see what is recommended.

that said, apparently sage tea is good for coughs - not sure if it's contra-indicated in pregnancy (it certainly is in my house, but that's because a) it reeks, and b) it's tea), but worth researching. I have absolute tons of sage in the garden if you want some posted :o and even if you don't :o

Quenelle, our toddler has never been an even adequate sleeper - we're lucky if he sleeps 8 hours in total normally. last night was a good night, but 4.30 am is not my favourite time to have my boobs manhandled and to have a small person shrieking 'MILK!' at me. We have actually resorted to drugging him some mornings it gets us another 2 hours in bed, and makes him a much nicer person. yes, I am a bad mother...

Hello everyone
6 days to AF so did another POAS, but BFN. Thought I saw a reeeeeeeaaaaallly faint line, but DH kindly assured me there was bugger all there (Cheers love).
This is officially the longest week ever. :(
On the possibly plus side, cramps have returned, which is a relief as I moved some stuff around yesterday and have been berating myself ever since.
I still haven't shifted my stubborn wheezy chesty cough- family are nagging me to get some medicine, and it's getting increasingly difficult to dance around why I haven't done it yet. I've already beaten myself up about the beecham's all in one I took at the beginning, but it looks like that would have been pre-implantation (assuming BFP). Tasty though my blackcurrant linctus is, it's not making any difference. Any safe suggestions?
Sick of being in limbo!

loulou enjoy your holiday- nothing like overly friendly deliciously-accented locals for getting the DH's dander up and therefore ensuring lots of nookie!

Sorry you got a BFN notnow. Has AF actually arrived? Perhaps there's a chance you have tested too early?

Kveta I know all about non-sleeping toddlers. Ours ended up in our bed at 2.30 this morning. The night before though, he slept soundly in his cot until 7am so we take the rough with the smooth (and make the most of the cuddles). You have to try and fit the quickies in where/when you can don't you.

hi everyone! no SWI here for a few days as work/incredible non-sleeping toddler have got in the way a bit. I'm so bloody knackered! And we're both wondering if we really want a 2nd! :o

however, we have a kitchen again (after a whole month without one!) and being able to do the washing up in the kitchen is making life so so much easier and thus evenings will be a wee bit more relaxed from now on!

have a lovely holiday LouLou :)

Well, I am officially Not Pregnant yet again. I knew I wasn't but tested just in case and it's a no. It has been a full year now .

I'm very proud and impressed with all the SWIing going on here. Keep it up threecurrantbuns and festie, don't let the DHs rest yet!

Hi puzzletree and Rusulka

Sorry to hear about your MC puzzletree.

Sounds like we might have our first thread BFP soon Rusulka...? How are you feeling today?

Happy holidays Loulou.

Have a lovely hol Loulou! Hope you get in lots of SWI!

Wow, it's been busy! Hi to everyone! Still SWI, though DP is complaining that he wants his sleep!

Anywhere nice Loulou?

He he he!!!!!!!

Best to only play with your own, if you can help it!

Yurgh. But thanks - gross fascination awaits in about two weeks if no luck this time round.

Thanks Catsycat and Puzzletree. In two minds about it as I quite definitely decided that a May to August birthday was best, as it's equidistant between Christmases-ish. April buggers up my careful scheming somewhat. Although frankly at this point I don't care any more, I just want a baby!

I have not been playing with any mucous, mine or otherwise.
