OPK's, SWI, SS, BFP's, AF's and other acronyms screaming your name? Hide in our wonderfully random and general TTC double decker bus - every stage welcome!

I may ask for my earlier post to be removed , got quite upset I've calmed down a bit, hit a raw nerve.

Hope is dwindling. Another bfn this am and light period pain. It's cd25 and I'm due on any time in the next few days. :(

I've been having wierd cramps all night , its been so long Since I've had a period I'm not sure,

Can you get wierd achy feelings in your arms if you are pg?

what am I thinking its far too soon.

POAS yesterday and today, couldn't resist. BFN both times. Feeling the grumblings of period pains so I don't think it's worked this time. Need To get another £1300 before we can try again! Well I suppose it's not over til the red witch sings!

I havent had an AF yet wish I could work out my cycle, good luck pony,

Secret , I'm 22, this should be no.2, I had no.1 when I was 19, unplanned I am a SAHM my partner who is my first dc's father, is full time self employed.
whom I've been with for 3 years and waited until we had our own place to TTC.

I am also educated, I have just passed a ou course recently whilst being a full time mum , moving and being very ill.

Its attitudes like that that make me have to lurk on anonymous msg bourads I wish I could but this stuff on fb.

I have a question! I've been looking at the ovulation calculator on here and it asks 'How long is your luteal phase". Surely if I knew that, I would know when I ovulate and wouldn't need the calculator? Am I missing something?

Everyone on my facebook seems to be pregnant grrrrr lol I may hide them.

Arggh sorry ladies I am well and truly out this month. AF came last night on CD33 just to get my hopes up. Was a 28 day cycle last month so was tentatively hoping all that SWI had actually done the job and really wanted to be pregnant for xmas/my 30th next month. Ah well. Here we go again... am updating, feels like going to the bottom of the class.

We haven't had any graduates for a while have we?

Welcome difficult, I don't think there's any way of not thinking about it a lot other than keeping super busy, I have found a really good book does distract me a lot mind.

Fingers crossed for the rest of you in 2WW! Let's hope we have some lovely Christmas BFPs.

Hey All

how are you all?

I'm ttc atm , stopped pill on 17th babbi no.2 hopefully,

How do you take your mind off it ? iyswim

I dont like thinking about it continously iyswim. want it to be an enjoyable thing not an obsession

any tips will be gladly recieved.

I'm quite scared it will take a long time, still taking my folic acid.

Hello all

We've been trying for our second for about 6mo, took us a looong time with DS (now 14mo). I have PCOS and my cycle is all over the place (21 days in October, 32 in November!). Got a bit stressed with counting (impossible really!) and worrying for a while so for now we are just contraceptive free and seeing what happens. Would really like to conceive in the first few months of next year, so we may have to get focussed and organised (sounds like a powerpoint presentation or summat, how romantic!) again in the new year. I think we'll try charting for a while. We were starting to talk IVF with my OBGYN when we conceived DS, so, we'll see. Good luck to all in making some sept/oct 2012 babies!

THanks for the welcome girlies, and yes i would love the mince pie and the vino :)

Went to the doc myself this wkend, had a scan and check up- was shown my wrinkled up ovaries which havent been used in 13 yrs, got a lecture from the doc for that. ha.

She actually said to not try and conceieve in the these next few months as my ovaries will be going mad, trying to get back into action, so ive more chance of having multiple births, also im a twin myself so even higher chance... unless thats what i want!! Ha, one way to go head first into parenthood!!

So, i can have lots of wine this xmas while my ovaries remember what to do :)

:)

I am totally up for an anti AF dance! I'm getting jiggy with the paintbrushes as I write.. (living in building site, just because I like life to be a challenge) I might start painting little blue lines all over the wall as a sort of bfp charm.

Ha ha, I thought you were just being coy captainmoll!

Welcome gin and freckly - good plan coming off your pill early Freckly as my body is certainly trying to find it's feet again after years on cilest. arggh.

Hey minky I've had some spotting too but I think it must be same as you in coming off the pill. Which is annoying.

Am still waiting for full on period - was due wednesday going by last months' cycle which was 28 days but before that was 34 days and had tiny spotting last night. so figured it's just my body playing silly buggers and I did do a test on day 28 in afternoon and it was BFN so not expecting any Christmas miracles here. bah humbug.

Me too moll, I am driving myself nuts trying to work out my OV day.

Because of the PCOS I cant work it out with an OV calculator, my cycles vary in length, currently on day 35 of this cycle!! I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up but I think each little twinge etc is an early symptom. Oh the frustration!!!

I know I should be keeping calm and not stressing but its sooo bloody difficult.

I know how you feel moll , last time I had convinced myself this was it, even thought I had early symptoms similar to last pregnancy, I actually cried when AF came!!

Good luck to you. Maybe theres a dance we can do to keep AF at bay!! I'm wiiling to try anything at this stage!!

Who's with me ladies?

Oh, in that case 31!

Age

oh, hang on. Is the number in brackets your age or your cycle length?

Hello freckly, nice to meet you and good luck! I read recently somewhere hereabouts that coming off the pill actually raises your fertility for the first couple of months after you stop taking it, so get going, girl!

Hello ginlady, I am currently obsessing/ obsessively symptom spotting. I'm being really bad at staying rational/realistic, so if AF turns up next week, it's going to be SOOO disappointing.

Ding Ding!! Hey ladies. Mind if I get on at this stop? Glass of anyone?

O.K. Im new to this so don't have all the acronyms down yet so please bear with me.

I am 30 with PCOS TTC #2. We are now on our 5 cycle of TTC and I'm getting sooooo frustrated!

Last AF was 11 nov, did a test earlier this wk and got a BFN!!

I am becoming obsessed. How are you girls all coping???
