Hi! I am due my period in the next few days (I hope! that's a first ;)) then I will officially be ttc! Very exciting times...

So I thought I would start a nice friendly thread so we can go on our ttc journey together!!

I have been taking folic acid when I remember the last few weeks or so and came off the pill a few months ago.. I'm not entirely sure of my cycles yet, but think I'm due thurs or fri..

So come say hi! x

Hi life that 's similar to me, my dd is 15 and half months..really hope alls okay with ur further tests, I'll be sending u lots of positivity! So when are u due? TA forfor advice and Linda!

Welcome padster! Mm Im intrigued now too!

no period yet but quite a few period pains which is good! lol. Will be nice for it to hurry up so i can get dancing!!

oh yeah for anyone on the 2ww.. A massive thing that worked for me Ws almost treating it like the fertile period spray felt like i wasn't counting it down quite so much! and funnily enough that is when i got preg i think!

Very excited to share all our bfps!!

Welcome Padster! Do tell us your story....I'm intrigued! Smile Looks like you and I will be testing round the same time, I'm 7DPO at the mo. No symptoms to speak of apart feeling freezing cold for days now. Of course, it is super cold out there, so that may have something to do with it.. LOL.

Thank you Linda, that's made me feel a bit better. Perhaps I should make a little P sign in there, point it in the right direction Smile

Life when I had my coil removed on Monday the nurse told me the lining might be thin for a while but that a fertilised egg only needs the smallest part of thick lining 2 attach to so here's hoping there's a little parking space in there for u Grin

padster75 · 06/12/2012 12:49

Hi Ladies,
Mind if another one joins you?
Currently on Cycle #2 (of proper trying), 8DPO, not many symptoms to spot this morning. Had v sore nipples for 6 days (unusual for me) and have woken with a vile metallic taste in my mouth.

TTC #2 ......DS is............. (wait for it) ............. 15 ........ long story!!

Hiya, my son is 18 months - would have loved to have a smaller age gap but hey ho! I don't know about men taking zinc, I had bought some his and hers pregnacare but they are sooo expensive. Will have to find out if there is something cheaper that hubby can take.

I had an ultrasound scan done last month (to do with weird periods and excruciating pain on left ovary) they couldn't find anything other than that the lining of my womb was too thin. It was two days before my period and it looked as though I was only half way through my cycle. So now I am really worried about that, presumably if the lining is not thick enough possible baby won't have anywhere to set up home. Sad She's referred me to a Gyno, so hopefully they can do some investigating and get it sorted!

Wishing you lots of festive bding, may Santa bring us all babies! xxx

Morning sweetju...

I used opk's with my 2nd and the line defo came up darker around ovulation but after a year of no baby we stopped using them and stopped trying, had sex once after that and got my bfp Grin

Hi Ladies

Can I join? I've been TTC #2 since end of Sept. Kind of thought it would be easy as my first one was conceived first try Blush what a silly assumption! Anyway, here I am cycle 3, trying not to symptom spot. It's fairly easy as I don't have any symptoms to speak of ATM. So I am guessing I am out this month too. Lots of baby dust to you all! xxx

lindamagoo · 05/12/2012 09:41

We will become obsessed with symptom spotting now, lol xxx

pegster · 05/12/2012 09:13

Very weird that we all seem to be in synch now, fingers crossed for lots of festive shenanigans followed by those BFP's Wink

lindamagoo · 05/12/2012 08:10

Morning ladies... Well not to be a copycat and all but last night turned out not to be my 1st night ttc but the 1st night of af... Getting the coil out on Mon must have messed up my cycle so it looks like the 3 of us will be starting down the road of ttc at pretty much the same time... Atleast now I will know for sure when to get the good old opk's out... xxx

Hi ladies!
Lovely to hear your stories! if i got pregnant pretty quickly there would be 2 years between my 1st & 2nd too.. :-))
My periods not here yet but should be in next few days, had quite a few period pains yesterday... Tho as i only came off pill Oct 10th u never know! i'm hoping go back to 28 days cycles again :-))
know what u mean lindamagoo about getting excited about other peoples bfp! When my best mate told me she was preg i was soo excited lol!
Pegster our periods will be almost exactly the same hopefully! we will have 2ww together! X

Hi pegster, I took me almost a year last time, my 2nd son was born 4 days before my 1st sons 2nd bday, perfect age gap so I'll keep my fingers crossed it works straight away for you and the rest of us too xxx

pegster · 04/12/2012 20:58

Can I join you ladies? First day of my period today and then TTC starts at Christmas (33 day cycle). DS was made around mid December so if it works first time then would have exactly 2 years between 1 & 2.
Though will be trying not to get too excited, it took 7 months last time

lindamagoo · 04/12/2012 20:42

Oh yeah sweetju he's just as excited as me, he had the final say on wether we should try again or not, thank god he said yes... I'm due to ovulate on Thur (if the coil hasn't messed up my cycle) then it will b the soul destroying 2ww.... Fingers crossed we both get our bfp's soon, I get just as excited waiting on other people's results as I do my own, lol... xxx
