Hi fish :)

Like the new name, will you be changing to suit the various foodie events of the year?
fisharefriendsnot... pancakes/eastereggs/pumpkins/toffeapples etc

Could be good, might do the same with mine

Hope the same happens to me, if not before seem to spend my life poas at the moment. Was that with your dd or ds? Dont really know what to expect with all these appointments. It's all new to me. I cant even seem to work out how I can optimise our chances and predict ovulation days

I've unchristmasnamechanged

morecoffee I got positive poas the day I was got appointment for fertility clinic!

Fingers crossed for you this time Wifey, seems like we are both at the same point IYSWIM

Sorry for what you've been through goldril :(

Hi everyone

Well, as I said yesterday (I think) I have 2 dc (both concieved without really much effort-just 1 and 2 cycles).... ds 5.11 and ds 3.9. Have been ttc this time for 13 months. Im in a situation where I dont know how many cycles I have had as they are all over the place, cannot track when I ovulate without breaking the bank as I would need to test EVERY day. Make me very but....

Next week the investigations start . Blood tests and a scan then referal to gynae and possibly fertility clinic

In the mean time we will dtd daily

I am feeling pretty positive today though. I'm thinking this will be the month trying not to get my hopes up but got a good feeling about this month/cycle!

chunkychicken....I have just finished AF so have a while yet & weeks of dtd before I get to the testing stage again.

Hi everyone,

I'm have dd 4 and ds 2 and this is 2nd month ttc. I'm sooooo impatient this time

Have had positive ov test and dtd as much as life allows so fingers crossed.

Sorry about Xmas name can't figure how to change on the phone

Not til 10/2 at the very very earliest

You?

chunkychicken.....I am the same- I say things like- 'if it doesn't happen this month then at least I can have that bottle of wine' etc. but I usually don't have the wine & buy myself something pretty instead!
Are you testing soon?

I could literally be writing any one of these posts - glad I'm not alone in the madness!!!

In a 'it won't happen this month' slump today. Trying not to get hopes dashed in a week or two.

At least I can keep drinking and proper for the mo if AF turns up...

Having said that, I was drinking proper coffee multiple times a day & sharing a bottle of wine a night right up until about 3days before I got my BFP first time round (& was 5wks by then) and DD is absolutely fine!!!

Thanks chaps . Is not a biggie - just disappointing - as when AF arrives yet again!

Good thread indeed, Archemedes!

Can I just say I bastard well love this thread

Excellent hysteria indulgence, top marks for clever Latin word-pun on use of 'hysterics', and shedloads of good luck and 'babydust' all round

(I won't join because I've gone long past the stage of being anything like hysterical but just found this an irresisitibly brilliant idea!)

Goldrill....welcome...firstly, sorry to hear of your miscarriages. I can't imagine how worrying this all is for you. You'll get support here ... .

ooh - hello! Can I join in too please?

Have lovely DD 14mo, conceived on first go with virtually no DTD. Have previously managed to get pregnant whilst on the pill and virtually celibate: I assumed DP just had to look at me funny and it would happen.

Now on cycle 6 of TTC - have had two very early miscarraiges at 5/6 weeks last autumn. Am now getting a bit convinced that, even if I do get the BFP it will be gone the week after.

Trying to stay positive: DD has brought home every illness under the sun from nursery, and I had Hand Foot and Mouth twice - both around the times I miscarried. So I guess I know at least I can get pregnant and maybe it was just the illnesses and stress that caused them to go fruit-shaped. Am still BF a couple of times a day too and suspect that may not be helping. Ho hum.

One week to go this time!

follows choccy with nice cuppa (psychiatrists assistant brought them in saying we both looked like we could do with a brew)

I have 5 days till it is worth testing.... but I can test anytime.

By the way - you're probably sick to death of people telling you stuff like this but my friend was told she would never have kids due to health issues (very severe rampant endometriosis) and she had two dd.

So while you're breathing and he can get it up there is still hope.

Have you got many days before you test snowbeetle?

Hello morecoffee and wifey6 (you're not one of Marquess of Bath's hareem are you

Nice to be somewhere where first-time ttc and those already with children can share the same struggle - having one has not-a-lot to do with another going to plan does it.

Archemedes I have a 19mo so not so far behind you, I'd like a smaller age gap if possible.

.................................................................

So last 2 days I have been thinking positive and convinced myself this was the month then today I decided I was delusional and it would probably not be and I may as well resign myself to another month of misery. I am on an emotional seesaw and wish I could turn my brain off sometimes. Budge over Wifey room for one more .

Hi ladies....can I join? ....I have a wonderful DS & we are on our 2nd cycle ttc. I have health issues after having DS which has made ttc a lot more difficult-if not impossible at times. I have been obsessing over it for months & really convinced myself that we had been successful...but AF put a stop to that. ....it's nice to find a place where I can come & talk honestly about all this.

Hi. I am currently ttc. Kind of feel out of place on the other threads as I already have 2 dc, both were concieved within 2 months! This time we have been going at it for 13 long months and still nothing. I am hoping that this will be the month!

LOL
