Month 7 of TTC and keeping my fingers crossed we'll get a wonderful Christmas present!

I am totally rubbish at knowing when my period is due, when the last one was and all that useful information, under the circumstances stuff. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast. But we dtd at around the right time this month and I sort of feel a bit, well, pregnant, I suppose, so I would love to wait with you ladies if that would be alright?

We have one DD, 19mo, already and would really love a bfp for Christmas. Not sure when to test, but will try and hang on until the end of the week.

Fingers crossed for all of us!

Wishing you all a good luck Smile Thanks

Yes, that would be so much less frustrating! Will probably test first thing Tuesday morning with fmu. The next day and a half is going to drag! But yes, also trying not to get hopes up. I know realistically period is just taking it's time as I've just come off the pill, and it's unlikely I'm pregnant this month, but I can't help hoping! Grin Wishing you good luck for Tuesday! x

I know- I'd only got together with my now fiancé on July 27th Blush don't regret any of it though :)

Thank you.. Can't believe we're prob testing on the same day! Are you going to do it first thing? It's frustrating waiting for a period isn't it. I didn't have any for months while breastfeeding.

Suppose I'm trying not to get hopes up, but we only really dtd a couple of times, and only because I saw EWCM on cd12-13 and thought I was maybe ovulating.

Aargh I wish you could test straight after sex! :)

Blimey, that was quick! I think your lack of PMS symptoms this time around sounds a good sign though. Is there a reason you don't feel hopeful? Or are you just trying not to get your hopes up? x

Loveyouthree · 08/12/2013 15:54

ATruth - congrats again! I think AF is due on Tuesday, yes. Although with DP working away we haven't really dtd much this cycle, so I really do think a BFP would show up by tues, if that makes sense.

Kitkat - please do join! Wish you the best of luck - I've also had a serious lack of my usual pms symptoms (spots that are impossible to hide and bursting into tears in the co op, to name a few from last month) but for some reason, I don't have a good feeling about this month :( also, don't want to get your hopes up BUT with dd1, I stopped the (combined) pill at the end of July, had withdrawal bleed and was pregnant by 10th August! It can happen quickly!

Congrats ATruth! How exciting! xx Grin

I'd like to wait with you angelgabe and loveyouthree if that's okay? I'm on CD32 (first month off pill, so may well just be a long cycle whilst hormones settle down). Got BFN yesterday but no sign yet of AF either (usually get really bloated and cracking headache the day before, and that's not happened as yet). Going to test again on Tuesday if no arrival of AF. Going a bit mad now.... Hmm

Af due tues. Used an first response and a cheapie from home bargains. The fr is slightly clearer but there's a (faint) obvious line on both. Are you due on tues? I wouldn't be able to wait!

Loveyouthree · 08/12/2013 13:14

Omg!! Congratulations ATruth(normal to be excited for someone I've never met?!) that's amazing :)

When was AF due? And which test did you use?

I'm meant to be poas on Tuesday, but I want to force myself to wait until the Friday (as if!).

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 08/12/2013 09:36

Poas again this morning. Bfp Grin

I hope yours are as successful x

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 07/12/2013 21:24

I'm with you. Cycle 3 of ttc #2. I've already tested as im so impatient and got bfn Sad but am trying to convince myself it's still possible. When are you going to poas?

Loveyouthree · 07/12/2013 14:54

Hey angelgabe! Had to reply because I'm at exactly the same stage as you :)

Well, I think I am... Always had textbook 28 day cycles until I had children, now after breastfeeding/coming off the pill in summer I've had cycles between 25 and 31 days (averages out at 28 days, which would make me due tues 10th).

When are you planning on testing? Or will you just wait for AF to rear her ugly head?

We didn't really "try" this month; just once on the last day of ewcm and once the morning after, so not holding out much hope :(
