Second Time Shaggers, You know who you are......

Wonderful news Fudge congratulations xx

fudge, huge congratulations, what gorgeous news. Think of you and little Elliot often, how lovely that he is now a big brother. Hope you are all doing well x

fudge congratulations. I was just thinking about you the other day, and wondering how you were doing. I'm sure Elliot is a very proud big brother Most of the Frolickers hang out on FB now, if you'd like to join us pm me and I'll send you a link

I have obsessed compared this month's chart to the ones from ttcing DS, and it looks like I had a similar spike about 4 days pre-af on all of them, except when I got pg when there was no spike at all. So I think the likelihood is that I need to buy tampax rather than pg tests next time I go shopping.

fudge that is such lovely lovely news, congratulations to you.

Fudge, that is lovely news - congratulations! What a lucky little boy he is to have such a brilliant mummy and a special angel brother looking down on him. I still think of little Elliot a lot.

Hi to all that remember me.

Just thought i'd drop by to let you all know that two weeks ago i gave birth to my second son. We are so happy to have him at home with us.

Hope you are all well x

Dd is 10 months, got pg when she was 8 but had stoped bf that month, it is nice while it lasts heels as while I wanted another no af did take the pressure off as I couldn't do anything about what was going on and I think thats what worked, it's nice just to dtd when you fancy!
Plus it may or may not be true but I liked to see it as my eggs were preserved as no af no ov?!? That's only as at 33 now not get any younger

kurly big congrats to you :o

kitty sorry to hear about your mc, I know exactly what you mean about the worrying and stressing, that's why I'd really hoped it would just happen for us before we had to start actually trying. How old is your DD? Here's hoping we both get lucky soon.

bunny I've my fingers crossed that your temp spike is meaningful :)

I think this must be a particularly lucky thread, yay tribble and kurly! You'll all be TTC'ing your third by the time we get round to number two...

Sorry to hear about your mc kitty. Hope it's a short stay for you on the conception thread, in the nicest possible way! It is so hard not to get obsessed. It took us 8 mnths last time which although isn't very long felt like an eternity and it was very hard to chill out about it. Hoping I'll be more laid back this time but think that may be a vain hope...

Ooh bunny, a temp spike you say...? Any exciting symptoms to obsess over?!

Yay congrats kurly

kittykats sorry to hear about your mc, hope this month is your lucky month

I'm now 7dpo, and despite my earlier conviction that it won't happen this month, I've still gone down the slippery slope of symptom spotting Not much in the way of symptoms, but have a big spike in my temps today....so of course now I'm wondering if that's a sign!

So I did a test last night - BFP! Backed up with a FMU one this morning and it's a bit darker so I'm going to put myself on the list! Think I'm due around March 5th... Eeeeeek!

Now just to survive the 8ww.

The list!

Hi(gh) heels, lol see what I did there
Your very similar to me, took me around 20 months to concieve dd, not used contraception since she was born as we knew we wanted another but I got hit second time before af, I was breast feeding too and I think it was when I stoped a few weeks later, not sure mine would have returned until then as I had allready cut down to one feed for 3 or 4 weeks and no signs! Sadly I had a mc so were trying again cycle 2 after mc, gutted as last time we were really relaxed, only dtd a couple of times that cycle and bam now im back in that stressed place which I know only hinders the process!
Back to worrying will it take years again?!?

kitty we've not used contraception since DD was born (she'll be one in a couple of weeks) and officially started 'hoping' in Feb, but I'm still breastfeeding and haven't got my cycles back yet so I don't know whether we're hoping, trying or what now! I have PCOS and DD took about 20 months to conceive so I think I'll be here for a while.

Oh and official congrats to halo and tribble :o

I have just been the pound shop
Well everyone has to have a maybe moment!
So how long has everyone been ttc
I had af thur so official cd3 again

Think I'm going to move to the ttc soon section, decided there's no point me starting to obsess when I've not even got my cycles back yet!

There's pretty much no one left in the ttc section!

Congrats tribble

I have no hidden tests and I had a sneaky look in the supermarket the other day..$20 for a clear blue digi or $15 for a first response. Think I might just wait till I've missed four or five periods and have a bump for confirmation

Having been advised on Weds to stop ttc for this month in case I catch ds's slapped cheek disease, or course my temp went up on Thurs, confirming that I ov'd on Tuesday. I doubt I'll a. catch his infection or b. actually be pg this month so its all a bit academic anyway.

Kurly it gets better, get ye to FB

Eeee! This is an exciting thread! Do I need to get me some pg tests to stash away...? I have been super restrained this cycle and haven't even bought one yet! With DS, I didn't have any of this as we didn't think it was working - by the time I did a test it was a proper clear blue fellow and said 3+ weeks!

Yayayayayay to flo's officialness!

(think I'm 9 DPO but should only be 5 days given last month's cycle, so need to sit on my hands for a week if I can resist. Only "symptoms" are tiredness and headache, and they're normal for me towards the end of the working week anyway... But then I didn't have symptoms with DS for ages...)

Glad I'm not the only one with hidden tests pixie :)

And official cheers for halo :o

Thats why I still have pg tests hidden in various boxes around the flat - so that I dont have to justify the expense to anyone when I'm having a "maybe, just maybe I could be" moment!

Halo YAY!!!!!!

Pixie I still have my chart from last time, I think it was DPO 10. Me and DH actually went into Boots and stared at the pregnancy tests and had the following discussion;

DH: '£8 for a pregnancy test, thats a bit steep isn't it.'

Me: 'Yeah'

DH: 'A lot of money to spend on something that might tell us you're not pregnant'

Me: 'Hmmmm'

DH: 'Why don't we wait like normal people?'

Me: 'What do you mean 'normal people'?'

DH: 'You know, like in the olden days when people had to miss a period to know that they were pregnant or they just got fat'

Me: 'We could just go to the pound shop tomorrow.'

DH: 'Yeah alright then'.

Ooh tribble sounds promising.

I am officially announcing to the thread that I got my BFP on Saturday!
