He said he could see a line with my son!! He obviously has selective memory as that was definitely not the case.

I will piss on a digi at the weekend and throw it at him lol

It's his way of dealing with it sebs. You said he did the same with your son so go with it... He prob just doesn't want to get too excited too early. He will get there. Xxx

Is everyone here trying quite soon after first child then?! Am I the only one that the post partum thing is not relevant any more?

lucy I'm mental in the last two weeks! Only time I wasn't was when I was pregnant - typical isn't it. Cd 6 here.

Thanks sebs sounds like your body just needed some time to get itself back in baby making gear. None of this premenopausal stuff you were stressing about!!

From what I can see on my app it was my eighth cycle.

Although OH has announced this evening that he sees no line whatsoever on the test and to his mind I am not pregnant do doesn't know why I'm bothering to make plans etc.

I feel so tetchy that I told him to knob off so we're not really talking and I'm posting this from bed as I'm knackered. I said to him that I had anticipated this moment for so many months and thought we would be so excited together. Instead I just want to punch him.

I was going to ask the same questions! I can't do much about the post partum fertility, but maybe I'll try the cups in a few months if still no luck! What cycle was it for you then Sebs?
Cake I am on cd15, think I will keep dtd but not to the same frequency. How about giving yourself a bit of a break and just doing it for fun 1/2 times a week if you can until AF is due? I am dreading the wait. I always feel relaxed and optimistic first half of the cycle, then turn into a depressed crazy obsessive person in the last week or so. I have actually been giving myself anxiety the past few cycles, constantly worrying and checking whenever I go for a wee. Determined not to go there again this month. Going to try and ignore the date as much as possible so I'm not obsessing when AF is due. Do you know why your cycles have been irregular Cake? My last 3 ones have been too, first time it's ever happened in my life!!
Fedup that sounds like a great thing to be doing, and hopefully you can do some treatments for yourself in a year or so!

zippygeorgebungle · 14/01/2014 18:56

wow sebs, I go away for a couple of days and you get your bfp! so very pleased indeed for you. what lovely news for us all! xx

Great market for it fed up, there's some money that way

I think it could have just been a hormone thing as opposed to doing anything that different. They say around 14 months post partum fertility returns if you are breast feeding, and as you know I only gave up in November. I also noticed my post partum hair loss had stopped within the last 4/6 weeks, so I think my hormones might have just realigned.

Anyhow I used the fertility monitor for the first time, and as it gave me a thousand highs and no peak we may have had more sex.

I did use soft cups (I will happily pop my unused and factory wrapped second one in the post to you if you want to try it). I just popped it in after sex and it's meant to keep the sperm close to the cervix.

Nothing else I don't think xx

Thanks cake I'm in Surrey - SW London. Baby boom zone. So hopefully a good market for it. I just enjoy it, and want to help people post baby to feel body confident again / achieve their fitness goals. It means I can be around to take My son to nursery too when he is 3.

sebs before you go, what was the dtd schedule this month? What was different?!

fedupofrainydays · 14/01/2014 15:40

Ha ha - thanks seb but after the last one, it will be some very quiet 'yeses' if I ever get a bfp again!! I think I would only feel real til I saw something there at 6 wk scan (even tho that could go wrong my last two pregnancies there was either nothing there or a huge sac!)

I've ordered two digis online so they should be here at the weekend.

He was exactly the same with my first pregnancy, wouldn't believe me until the line was the same strength as the control. I have a photo in my album of about 10 tests one after the other getting progressively stronger. Then one day he was all 'ok, you're pregnant lol, i believe you!!'

fed up i am going to quietly lurk around this place as i want to be one of the first to scream yes when you get your positive.

OP posts:

fedupofrainydays · 14/01/2014 14:53

Are you doing a digi? How can he not see that line?'!

Cakebaker35 · 14/01/2014 14:44

Wishing you loads of luck sebs

Lucy which day are you on now? Don't know whether to keep DTD or stop now (I'm day 17) - last cycle was 34 days but one before was 25 so I'm struggling to know when the fertile window is firmly closed! Tbh we're both a bit weary of DTD for this cycle so I think I might now be playing the waiting game. Not hopeful at all though as I think my cycle is just too all over the place for good news this month.

Fedup, training sounds really exciting. Whereabouts are you based? Good luck with the rest of the training.

Thank you Lucy.

Ok i am going to bow out of this thread now as I know it's bittersweet when people get their BFPs.

I may be back sooner than I'd like and i will definitely lurk for happy news.

You have all saved my sanity so many times when i couldn't talk to anyone in real life xxx

OP posts:

Lucyjojo · 14/01/2014 14:07

I can also see a line Sebs!! Really really hope it's a sticky one for you.
Haha Punky me too! The thought of being pregnant or a newborn is terrifying, but also what I want more than anything in the world
Few more days of dtd for me, then the waiting game begins.

DP can't.

I swear the digital tests were made for women so they can shove them in the faces of their blokes

OP posts:

TapDancingPimp · 14/01/2014 13:26

Just adding, can def see a line

PunkyBubba · 14/01/2014 13:01

Yay Sebs! Can also see the line.. oooh whispered congratulations and fx the line for darker lines in the next few days!!

Just want to clarify that even though I said I couldn't imagine having a newborn (or being pg) and dealing with DS I do obviously wish it was the case..

Hope you're all having good days.. I am a tad hungover, and really tired after a surprise night out with work colleagues.. Looking forward to a quiet night in the hotel tonight, and back to my boys tomorrow!

Ha ha no!!! One said between March and July, one said I would find out I was pregnant in April and the last guy could see a birth between September and December, so I guess the last guy was the most right (he was the one that was right about my sons birth so that's why I went to see him at Christmas coz I felt totally dreadful as you know.

I think, assuming this is a) a pregnancy and b) a sticky, the due date is September 25th.

Thank you for being so kind xxxx

Ooooh I was just about to join a personal training gym near me do that's a bit uncanny lol

fedupofrainydays · 14/01/2014 11:43

Yay sebs yay yay yay!!

First one of 2014!!! Hurrah!!

I'm studying to be a personal trainer - bit of a change from my current job but i want to do post natal PT! sebs can be my first client

sebsmummy1 · 14/01/2014 09:27

I'm not really even sure what dpo I am as the fertility monitor gave me a month full of highs. It's still asking for sticks!!

You can tell how unsure I am as I've just had a long conversation with my Mum and haven't mentioned it to her. She knows we are trying and have been for ages, she is normally the first person after DP I tell stuff to, and yet I've kept shtum.

OP posts:

Cakebaker35 · 14/01/2014 09:23

Definitely something there!

My GP told me it is highly unusual to get a false positive from clearblue so just goes to show there are so many different opinions out there!
