Woo hoo! Old cluckers, over here!

Kate good to know I'm not the only one, it makes TTC so difficult, I'm on my 21st cycle of trying for #2 so very disheartened. We are managing at least once when I get a +OPK though.

Thanks for the advice hexy had a few ppl tell me they got pregnant and weren't at it like rabbits so to speak,it does only take one swimmer at the crucial time I suppose !!! And my dh is very similar bobsy he's never had a particularly high sex drive and can take it or leave it most of the time lol ... He's been quite up for it this time round but I don't think it will last !!

Please can I join? Have one DC aged 6. MC end of May at 11 weeks. Was traumatic. Been TTC since but no joy. Physically I don't feel quite 'right' if you can follow. 40 next year.

Have a lovely time Ginger

Ooh a few of you due to test soonisg then - exciting! Good luck x

Thanks Bobsy xx

Just thought I'd pop on & see how everyone is doing.

Hope all the pregnant ladies are keeping well & congratulations Tranquility

I'm currently on DPO5 & AF due Wednesday, we only managed to DTD once this cycle as OH wasn't well, I suppose it makes a change from him being tired though! Our sex life is purely for TTC, we didn't have sex after DD was born until she was nearly 2 & half & we only started to TTC our second. So sex is a chore for us which it shouldn't be & I wish it wasn't but OH has such a low sex drive I'm sure he'd be happy to never have sex again.

Just 4 days to wait for af to make her monthly visit then I can try ringing up for an appointment for the hsg scan.

Hi hope every one is well. Enjoy your break gingerbread. It's A.F or testing time for me next week. Can't believe how fast these cycles come around. Probably not fertile at the moment but we still dtd earlier on for good measure.

Yeah, Kate you dont have to do it every day, as it just becomes a chore and this can take months and years. Every other day is fine on ov week is enough cos the little swimmers inside you from the last time can DTD for you on the days in between. Like Ginger we DTD less the month of my BFP than usual cos DD started school, came home with a stomach bug on day 2, I was vomiting by day 3 so our plans to DTD like bunnies that week never happened. The sperm can survive inside you for up to 5 days (grim but handy fact) which is why I think its good advice to start slightly early as you never know when a vomiting child/recalcitrant teenager is going to throw a spanner in your works.

Have a lovely break Ginger

Cheers ginger it's weird doing it for a purpose other than just for pleasure.. It's amazing how quickly it saps the fun out of it lol !!!! Have a lovely hol and with any luck I might have a nice update to share who knows !!!

Ahhh great thanks ginger... Kinda needed to hear that ! It was a bit of a mission last night tbh but we persevered and got there in the end lol but don't want to put too much pressure on dh as I know he's tired from work etc and has been very thoughtful and supportive so far, so don't want to push my luck

Just a quick question please girls... Is it imperative that me and oh dtd tonight as well .. My positive opk was Wednesday morning and we dtd weds night and last night... Just wondering how important dtd tonight as well is as the little swimmers can survive a few days ... Because to be honest me and dh are totally shagged out lol xx

Clickers and cluckers...clucking clickers. I mean clicking cluckers!

Thanks Annie xxhows things with you?

Welcome puppydog good luck to you. I take 5mg of folic acide and a Sanatogen prenatals.

I'd love a clickers antenatal thread ginger ! X

I'm up for that. Determined not to join any of the other threads as they are scaring the shit out of me with bad things I hadn't even thought of going wrong.

Hi Puppydog I didn't take any supplements beforehand other than folic acid, used Clearblue dual hormone tests, temp charted & tracked EWM. I did cut out some of the very long list of medications I'm on for various conditions tho. Good luck!

Yes, any news Annie? When do/did they put the fertilised egg(s) back in your henhouse? Fingers & toes crossed 4 u xxx

can I join :)
In month 2 ttc number 4...was trying to be relaxed about it and after the first BFN feel a bit more panicky. Am 40 now and will be 41 if lucky enough to get BFP soonish!
Can I ask what supplements beyond folic acid people are taking? TA

tranquility!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you !! Amazing news!!! Xxx

Ha ha ha that's brilliant! Sorry Mr Hexy!

Think the scan is just to check little bean is in the right place, rather than anything else. I'll call them again tomorrow x

Hope you have a barfless night x

Tranquility, it was even worse than that. Hubby was kindly holding my hair back, and shook his head at me when I asked him to refresh this thread whilst barfing in a bin!!!

Thankfully the nausea has abated slightly now.
One thing that may be worth considering if they don't call you back fast is a private scan? Our local NHS women's hospital has started doing early reassurance scans costing £45. Think I may well be rather over-utilising this particular service over the coming months....

Do remember tho, they may not be able to find a heartbeat at 6 weeks but this doesn't mean anything is wrong just that it's a bit early to def find one. 7 weeks should be fine tho.

Is anyone else nearing the end of their 2ww?
Xxx

Pmsl Hexy glad I made you grin whilst you're barfing in a bin!

Yes they were stubborn, this is very very different! Eek. I'm a nervous mess.

I rang EPU as they told if I fall pg again, I just call straight away as they'll want to make an appointment to scan me at six weeks. Trouble is it's always an answer phone and they're open v limited hours.

Thanks you ladies. , it means a lot xx

Massive congrats tranquility .. Am seriously rubbing myself in all of you lucky ladies baby dust right now lol xx

Ha! Well, that's defo not an evap line then!

Well, I had a snack. And took a Valium (safe in pregnancy!!). I don't suppose you have a stash??

You must be bouncing off the walls! OK, if I'm not mistaken, both your previous BFPs were a little faint and doubtful, weren't they? And this one is very clear...well, that's a good sign, for a start.

Did you ring the EPU because you're worried about an ectopic again? Would they be able to see anything on a scan at this point?

If I were you, I'd go and see my GP (or have you got an unhelpful one? Can't remember...) tomorrow, just to talk stuff through, and try to get some reassurance and get a prescription for Valium.

(makes soothing noises) Ommmmm.....calm....try and get a good night's sleep. You are pregnant! CONGRATULATIONS!! There is no reason why this one should not be a healthy one....
