Hello ladies, hugs to all today, everyone seems a little low and fed up of the TTC roller coaster. At least we can all talk freely about it on here, must be awful not being able to talk about how you feel.

Ohh Coggy ? well done hanging in there before testing! Don?t let things get your down, keep that excited feeling for as long as you can. . Plus remember that fabby weight loss! (still very envious!) better the knickers fit better now !

Hi Trace, sorry to hear you are under the weather, hope you feel better soon. When you don?t feel well everything gets on top of you and you are sleep deprived too. Hope everything seems better when you feel better.

I am on CD27 today and my chart predicts AF tomorrow. Think I OV on CD17 and only managed to BD on CD11 & CD19 in fertile period so my chances are very slim. My temp went down from 36.3 to 36.05 on CD25, then down to 35.75 on CD26 and back up to 36.15 today. Confusing. I haven?t been well though so I don?t know how that impacts. Have very slight spotting so I guess it is likely that she?ll turn up tomorrow as predicted.

Fingers crossed for you Babymad4num3, seems like a long time since we had a BFP on here.

Welcome Tryingfor2, lots of people like minded on here.

Your post made me shiver Wannabe1974, it was lovely.

Natty1806 · 11/08/2006 11:10

Hope you don't mind wannabe but i agree with everything you have just said. x

wannaBe1974 · 11/08/2006 10:54

hiya all

oh coggy and trace (((hugs)))

I know all to well how you both must be feeling as I've been there so many times before.

Coggy I'm not going to patronise you by saying I know what you're going through at the moment, I've been there in terms of the ttc element, but everything else you've been through and must still go through every day, esp when you see your friends who were pg at same time as you pg again must make this so much harder for you. I know that for you, even when you get that bfp you will enter a different stage of worry, until you hold your baby in your arms. You deserve to have your baby now, after everything you've been through it's time life gave you a break and gave you something positive to look forward to. I am still keeping everything crossed that you get your bfp today, or tomorrow, or next week, while af still isn't here it doesn't mean the end of this month yet, stay positive, and keep smiling, because there's a lot to be said for positive thinking. Your baby will happen, I am absolutely confident of that. I don't know how or why, I just am. You can email me any time at [email protected]

Trace, your m/c last month has proved to you that you can fall pg. You should take this month as a positive thing not negative, the fact your temps are normal, that you know when your af is going to arrive is a pointer that your body is recovering after the m/c and getting itself ready to carry another little one. Next month you have another chance to try, and as your body will be back to normal it may just give you that chance of hope again. Email me any time.

I don't know what anyone's beliefs are, I'm not really religious, but I like to think that your baby, and coggy's ds, and all the other babies that weren't meant to come into the world yet, must be somewhere, playing in a beautiful place, because surely little ones must be taken away for a reason.

I'm waffling now.

coggy · 11/08/2006 10:34

Not yet Mimi.......if nothing today I will do a test tomorrow (CD28)....here's hoping!!!

How are you getting on SOL?
Still away from home?

Sexonlegs · 11/08/2006 10:33

Morning all. Wow, lots of posting activity on here in the last few days!
Fingers crossed to all who have af's due esp to all those who have been ttc for soooo long now.
Welcome timeforanother. Dh and I are ttc number 2 - we have a dd who is 3.2. Only been ttc for 4 months, but feels like an eternity after dd was conceived after sex twice!
CD21 today - nothing to report. Cannot think will be a bfp as have only bd'd 3 times!
Hey ho.
Anyway, need to head as loads to do. Keep smiling everyone. Big Hugs to all. xx

mimi1uk · 11/08/2006 10:31

coggy? did af show her ugly face

coggy · 11/08/2006 10:31

babymad - we have a stats thread with people's details on it...I'll bump it up and then you and tryingfortwo can put your details on it and have a good old nosey at the rest of us!!!!

Babymad4num3 · 11/08/2006 10:29

I'm 25 i was wondering how old/young are you all?
Not being rude just wondering!

tryingfortwo · 11/08/2006 10:27

Can I join. I've been a lurker for a long time, I've got a 15 month dd and I started trying again a couple of months ago. I'm finding it an emotional rollercoaster, first time round we didn't try at all, so not used to this. I cannot believe how sure I get that I am, I mean I have every sign and then along comes AF which floors me. This month I'm playing it down and telling myself I'm defintely not, although secretly hoping I am of course.

coggy · 11/08/2006 10:17

Started trying this time June 2005 like you Babymad.

coggy · 11/08/2006 10:16

Sorry.....meant to reply quickly after typing that...and then forgot.......LOL!!

I didn't mean to be rude!!!!

Babymad4num3 · 11/08/2006 10:08

Been trying myslef since end of june 2005! .
Seems like EVERYONE has either a bump or a new baby .

Natty1806 · 11/08/2006 10:04

It must be so hard for you coggy specially when you have bad days, here hoping not for much longer. x

Been trying since Jul 05

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:59

FOREVER....................

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:59

Two of the people I was pg with last time are now pg again.......another of them is ttc as well.....and...worse of all....my friend who we both started ttc together is now ttc her second as her ds is 4 years old!!

Oh! She'll probably have her second before I get my bfp!!!!!

Babymad4num3 · 11/08/2006 09:58

How long have you all been TTC?

CD26 today, be testing on Monday fingers crossed , I'm hoping MN has brought me some good luck!

Natty1806 · 11/08/2006 09:55

That's what i think, i love it on here but as we get so many BFP's in a month which is really good it also makes me feel and know everyone in RL is getting pregnant as they are getting to that age now.

trace2 · 11/08/2006 09:38

same here and every where i look i see big tums, gona have to go now catch up later

OP posts:
coggy · 11/08/2006 09:21

Yeah...and sometimes it is SO intensified on here beacause everyone is ttc so you know (or hear about) so many peopel getting their BFPs whereas in RL you would probably only know about one or two pg people.

Having said that......ALL my friends in RL seems to be announcing they're pg at the moment!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHH!!
Everyone keeps looking at me I feel...thinking it's about time they got on with it again!!
But of course people are too polite (or scared) to ask!!!

coggy · 11/08/2006 09:18

I think it would be easier if a month wasn't such a long time to wait!
When AF comes you just know that it's another couple of weeks before peak BDing and then another couple of weeks before the excitement kicks in again.

And when you've been trying for such a long time you look back and there's too many months aren't there?!

You didn't manage alot of BDing this month did you around ov?

trace2 · 11/08/2006 09:17

i think in mine yours and wannbes, weve been trying so long you think that its never going to happen.

OP posts:
trace2 · 11/08/2006 09:15

lol at least you make me laugh, well ive always said i like temping as i know when afs coming and this is the first month of when its gone down i thought oh no

OP posts:
coggy · 11/08/2006 09:12

That's fine Trace - don't apologise......I do think that being on here makes it just that bit extra obsessive but also it's so good to come on here and moan and groan...so it's a difficult balance really.

I got myself all excited last night and this morning but now I feel that I've gone back to the old 'well it hasn't happened yet so it probably won't this month' thing.

It's all such an emotional roller coaster isn't it?
Like you said...one minute you think everything's possible and the next minute Af is due. It's excitement to major disappoitment in one toilet visit!

LOL!!! Can you tell I'm trying to get a knicker mention in here??!!

trace2 · 11/08/2006 09:08

i think ive gone back to when was first trying, every month thinking hay this is it, then i got used to having af every month, but last months m/c made me feel like i have a chance again was so postive, and no idea now why i feel like this.
had a good cry to dh last night telling him i carnt go on like this our lives have come to a stand still except for ttc, and he said will stop if you want, but how the hell can i , i have tried befor.
sorry just need to get it out.
