Hi

I am new to mumsnet and just wanted to start a new thread for those who have maybe just started ttc or have been for a while and their goal is to get a bfp before xmas this year.

I have just started ttc and not long off microgynon so waiting to see what happens. Not telling anyone as me and DP want to keep it to ourselves until bfp to avoid any pressure so just looking for some internet friends to chat to!

Sorry about your Af Pigriver

Freedom glad you had a great time, dh always says we'll still travel when we babies come along, I get stressed just thinking about it Confused glad you've seen its possible!

Freedom40 · 20/09/2014 09:26

dreaming greece is amasing and showed me you can travel and have a great time with baby in tow. There are loads of families here with kids under 5 having a great time pram and all on the beach. Guess when that time comes dd or ds will have to fall in and enjoy the ride.

Headed home today and looking forward to the tww so fx for 14 days. Hope everyone is well and on track for an xmas bfp overload.

AF arrived today a week early (just like last month) meaning my cycle is now 22days!
I am torn between thinking a short cycle is good as I'll ovulate more often (is that right) and it been bad that a spend 1 week in 3 out of action and now much time yo actually get pregnant!

squiish · 19/09/2014 22:40

Evening all
It's been a while, just trying to not really think about it... As if that's possible?
Sorry to hear your news purple, FX for BFP soon for you.
AF due this weekend and have usual symptoms Sad

scienceteachergeek · 19/09/2014 16:43

Hello again all

Thank GOD for the weekend! Anyone heard any experiences of implantation bleeding? AF due in 9 days but just wiped after having a wee and found pink! Very very light amount of blood. Really struggling not to get excited but surely it's waaaaay too soon to POAS. Would even an early response pick up a BFP this early?

Dreamingoutloud · 19/09/2014 13:49

Got my Af this morning, and this month we will start ttc, all suddenly feels very real, I remember at the beginning of the year this all seemed too far away, now it's here and it feels like its been no time at all!

Freedom glad your feeling good! hope Greece is amazing!

Freedom40 · 19/09/2014 10:16

Hi everyone on holidays in greece with DH do was keeping post and such none existent to spend time together. Well clearblue has been showing blinking smile face since sunday. Not sure whats going on but got back ache and cramping at night. Think bc out of my system as relaxed and got sex drive back. Feeling like my old self from 6 years ago. pruple chin up we are all here for you and xmas will be here before you know it and we are all in a cheery relaxed mood in the run up so FX for you.

blue give him time it might just be all a but much for him the reality of the bug life change. Best just to talk about the future and not specifically the baby. Maybe a bit later if he has mates with little ones meet up see how he reactsmight get him to think about what he really wants. Take it slow. Its a huge step for a guy especially since they are more back seat drivers here and can only watch from the side lines while we do the heavy lifting.

Hello newbies Welcome to the thread. FC for all AF to go back to normal lots of BPFs for xmas snd lots of patience and getting closer to our DH.

Hello all!

I've just had my copper coil removed. We're hoping to conceive by Christmas.

I know this may very much be a case of hoping as we've not given ourselves much time!

Sorry for your loss purple.

Bluebird89 · 17/09/2014 07:34

Think it's money related. We're gonna hold off until the new year. Feeling better about it this morning. At least it gives my body a decent amount of time post implant to get itself into a regular cycle (hopefully) and can just chill out for the rest of the year!

Will keep my fingers crossed you all get your BFPs!

Dreamingoutloud · 17/09/2014 07:24

Hi, sorry I haven't posted since August.
My withdrawal bleed came and went as usual, we decided to wait to try until Af came so we could track better, I'm now on CD28 waiting for Af to arrive, the cramping and back ache suggest she's definitely on the way, never thought I'd be so excited to get it!!

If it does happen today then it means I should ov the week we're on holiday..would be awesome timing Grin

I feel like there is loads I should be doing, and yet there's really nothing is there?!

stqueen · 16/09/2014 23:16

Hi All,

I'm new here, can I join? TTC #1 - usual cycles around 35 days (last 3 - 37, 34, 35) - had solid smiley face on CD21, now CD33 (11DPO, assuming I actually O'd after the surge) with AF due this Thursday/Friday. I don't feel it's my month AT ALL sadly so trying to mentally prepare myself for October! It's just a draining, emotional roller coaster angry Having read most of this thread, I could have written a lot of the posts myself, so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! Would love to join you lovely ladies on this journey x

StrawberryCheese · 16/09/2014 22:57

Thanks for you purple
What are your DP's reasons bluebell?

Well AF is definitely here with a vengeance now, I think it was just teasing me! So no luck for me here yet.

Thepurplegiraffe · 16/09/2014 20:43

Sorry to hear that Bluebird, any chance of talking him round?

pinkie1982 · 16/09/2014 20:20

Awww bluebird sorry to hear he has made that decision. It must have got too much for him. I hope he discussed his reasons with you xx

Bluebird89 · 16/09/2014 19:42

How frustrating for you both Idle and Princess, hope your bodies get on board soon.

I'm so sorry Purple, glad you are feeling ok though and looking forward to trying again.

Welcome Pinkie, fingers crossed for your bfp

Bit frustrated over here as now that my body is getting itself sorted out DP has decided maybe we should hold off TTC. We've been discussing TTC for well over a year so not really sure where this has come from but doesn't look like I'll be getting that BFP before Christmas after all.

Thepurplegiraffe · 16/09/2014 19:01

Thanks all. I'm ok. Much better physically just trying to get my head round it. And really keen to get going again!

pinkie1982 · 16/09/2014 12:38

I'd like to join :)
I am 31 and TTC#1. Came off of the pill on September 6th, had withdrawal AF which finished yesterday.
I have been on the pill for 16 years so no idea what my cycle was like beforehand. I went on the pill as my perioids made me really unwell so a little worried about what is to come.
So here we go. Good luck to ALL!

Baffers100 · 16/09/2014 12:00

Oh purple sorry to hear that. Hope you're ok xx

PrincessPenguin · 15/09/2014 16:11

So sorry to hear that, Purple Flowers. FX for another BFP for you before too long.

Thanks, Strawberry - me too!

Thepurplegiraffe · 15/09/2014 15:53

Hi all
I might join you all again if that's ok. After alot of bleeding over the weekend I have had it confirmed today that I have had a miscarriage. All being well it seems to be a pretty straightforward one so I will be straight back on it. I really want a successful bfp before Xmas!

Hope everyone is doing ok?

idlefolly · 15/09/2014 14:24

Thanks Strawberry. I hope so too, I have been waiting long enough!

FX for your bfp.

StrawberryCheese · 15/09/2014 12:33

I think AF has arrived, sort of! It's very light, it tends to be light anyway but even more so this time. I hear people talk about implantation bleeding but I'm not sure if I could tell the difference. If AF doesn't amount to much more over the next day or two then I'm going to buy another test.

idle and princess I hope your bodies wake up soon!

PrincessPenguin · 15/09/2014 10:38

Me neither, Idle - still no AF for me and I had my implant out about 6 weeks ago now, so am a few weeks behind you but know how you feel! Hmm

idlefolly · 15/09/2014 09:12

Still no sign Bluebird. 10 weeks tomorrow. HmmConfusedHmm

Bluebird89 · 15/09/2014 06:28

Sorry science, not sure. I'm just trying to get my head round what it's supposed to look like at the different stages.

Have you poas again strawberry?

Idle AF arrived yet? Really hope she has
