So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

Going to join this thread if I may.

claudee, ttc #2, cycle 2. DD is 2.

Heading into the 2ww and all of this ttc business still feels quite new to me as DD wasn't planned :)

Do you think you have to be able to count to four to be a good parent? I mean what If I have four children but I keep forgetting that there's a number higher than three?

Sigh.

My AF is actually due next Saturday, it would appear I can't count to four, let alone 28! Does however mean there's still hope right? I'm such a numpty Grin

Thanks for the thread, Swede. And good luck this cycle...good going by your DH last night. :-)

Engels good luck when you get back on it, as it were! And fx for your blood test later on.

Morning all, and thanks for new thread Swede!

My stats: Metalhead, currently 5.5 weeks pg with #2, conceived on cycle 4 with BFP on CD82! DD1 is 3.7.

Lucy keep going with dtd if you can until you get a test line that's at least as dark as control line. I was driving myself mad comparing lines and thinking "is this as dark or not", but when I got a positive it was actually really obvious, so chances are you haven't had your lh surge yet!

Pg tiredness has already hit me I think, been in bed by 9pm the last few nights. Also feeling ravenous, though not too sick yet which is good. Hoping I'll get my appointment for the early scan through this week, don't think it'll feel real until I see something on that screen.

Hi Engels, roll call sounds like an excellent plan.

Hi ladies!

I'm afraid I just can't keep away!

Feeling calmer about everything. I have a blood test this morning so fx it will be the all clear.

However, we've decided to skip this month and next month because of best friend's wedding later in year. She knows and would rather have a pg bridesmaid than no bm at all. Weird not focusing on ttc, but we should be back in the game at the end of February.

Could we have a roll call to remind ourselves who we all are?

CallingAllEngels ttc dc2 since July 2013. Mc October 2013. Waiting for all clear before ttc again. DS is 2.

Lucy - I hope this new thread brings luck for both of us and everyone else who needs it!

Personally, I dont think one can dtd too much around ovulation. When I got pregnant in December we did it a lot and it seemed to have worked. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my gyno is of a different opinion in that one should not dtd every day (as it makes the swimmers lazy) but should rather stick to every other day (day 12, 14, 16 and 18 of a 28 day cycle). Saying that, everyone seems to have different opinions on this and all doctors seem to give different advise so I think its each to their own, whatever works for you is they way to do it.

Had an awful evening with DD last night. She just did not want to go to bed. So after a couple of hours of that, we were not much in the mood for dtd. However DH stepped up to the plate and we did it anyway so very pleased with that. I am adamant to follow the gyno's instructions this month, just want to see if it works and possibly take advantage of any 'extra' fertility from the mc (got to get something good out of it I guess).

Anyway, all of SA is back at work from today (I've been back for a week already) after the xmas/summer holiday so lots of miserable people expected at work me thinks.

Happy Monday to all.
