All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Congrats on the smiley mrs!

14 dpo here and can't wait for the 2ww to be over!

Have you decided when you're testing Torfhinn?

mrsmugoo · 05/05/2015 07:41

Morning all. Cd15 and flashing smiley here which I'm chuffed about as DH is away until tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be solid tomorrow and we can have a well timed shag and get this one in the bag!!

Welcome newbies!

I'll collate the stats today in my lunch break if everyone can send x

Hello! Please can I join too? Just started ttc this month. I'm 30 and DD1 is 6 months. My cycles haven't quite settled down yet so just trying to track what's going on :)

CarrotPuff · 04/05/2015 20:20

Happy birthday Mrsmugoo!

I'm 29, not sure how to count cycles as there was a mc in the middle, but it's been almost 10 months since we started Confused DS is 17mo.

I'm 11-13dpo and for the last three days miraculously haven't killed anyone...

I'm 23 my dd just turned 2 and this cycle #2 although only stopped taking the pill 2 months ago so didn't expect it to happen first month like it did with dd so totally expected it again!
Having said that I don't use the ovualating sticks but I reckon I'm half way through my cycle so time for a few dtd ;)

Pixie2015 · 04/05/2015 14:45

Hi all

37y - started oct 2015 - mc at christmas - 7y old - currently day 3 into 2ww

Raeside · 04/05/2015 10:54

Hullo.

I'm 40, DS is nearly 2, this will be cycle 11 (OMG!)

CD8 today. Time to start splashing pee on sticks very soon.

Torfhinn · 04/05/2015 09:31

Morning all, happy birthday Mrsmugoo!

Hope you feel better in time for DTD Diana Smile

Feeling an unspecified, general roughness for the past few days, the spotting has finally stopped though. Can't help but get my hopes up as feeling vaguely ill and tired was my first symptom last time. Trying to hold off testing as I'm between 2 and 7 days before my period is due. Housework and a walk in the sun with DH and DS is on the cards to distract myself Smile

Thank Mrsm. My stats:
37, ttc #2 since Jan, bfp on 3rd cycle but had mc at the end of March so this will be cycle 5. Dd is 2 1/2 yrs old.

HopeintheAir · 04/05/2015 09:27

Ah, just looked back on my app and this is cycle #6 which has stupidly made me feel a bit better!

HopeintheAir · 04/05/2015 09:24

Happy birthday mrs!

Cycle #7
DD 17 months

13dpo today but I have a long luteal phase so AF due on Thurs. Feeling quite negative about this cycle so already looking forward to getting it over with. Have had fertility tests this month and everything is fine which is a relief but is making me even more frustrated that it's not happening.

Oh well, the sun is shining and I got tea in bed this morning so it's not all bad Smile

DianaOstara · 04/05/2015 08:20

it never ends does it mrs! Happy birthday to you - what a lovely birthday present a bfp will be!

I'm 32 This is our 4th official 'trying' month (although I did have implant removed in October). Dd has just turned 3.

char sorry about your miscarriage :( good luck with everything this month

CharChar2015 · 04/05/2015 03:13

Great idea mrsmugoo

I'm 32 - TTC #2 since December 2014 - currently on cycle #3 after a miscarriage in February at 9 weeks.
DD is 19 months old.

I'm 2dpo and time has officially stood still Hmm

mrsmugoo · 03/05/2015 21:59

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in collating all our stats now this thread is quite established?

I'll pull together if you can private message me with:

Your age
How many cycles trying for #2 so far
DC1 age

Have I missed anything?

mrsmugoo · 03/05/2015 21:55

Got too wrapped up in tidying and laundry in nap time (as per) but managed it this evening...well it is my birthday Wink

DianaOstara · 03/05/2015 17:31

CD11 for me. We haven't started dtd as I'm still feeling unwell. According to OPKs for past two months I've ovulated CD19 so I'm not too concerned if we delay for a few days. However I am starting to get first hints of ecwm so don't want to leave it too long either!

mrs hope you had a fruitful 'nap'!

carrot good luck!

mrsmugoo · 03/05/2015 10:59

Flashing smiley today so I know what I'm doing at nap time Grin

CarrotPuff · 03/05/2015 09:16

I'm 10-12dpo, not sure when exactly I've ov'ed, but in that window. So AF should come Wed-Fri next week. I'll be pissing over the weekend if she doesn't show up...

Not feeling anything, except yesterday morning was very moody, but then I'm not a morning person Grin

Hi there, I was on this thread a few weeks ago but found out redundancies were afoot at work. Wasn't sure whether to carry on ttc, we turn decided to leave it to nature but didn't massively 'go' for it this month so I'm not optimistic. I'm on CD 20, got twingey ov pains on CD 13. Think I'm now about 6 dpo but not really had any symptoms. Hoping I can join back in here again as the buses scare me a bit!

CharChar2015 · 03/05/2015 04:10

Hey guys - just officially entered the 2ww too! I'm ready for time to start standing still haha ;)

I ovulated early this month either CD11 or 12 according to the opk. And dtd cd 10/11/12 so I'm hoping I've covered all bases!

Aiming to test on Friday 17th (cd28) if I can wait that long! ShockHmm

MarysPrayer · 02/05/2015 21:06

Thanks torfhinn. Sorry about the spotting wombat

Good luck to those in the tww - there are quite a few of you. CD 6 here and bored, bored, bored. Anyone cycle buddies out there?

I had a look in the MN Classics section last night, thinking I might find a funny thread to cheer me up a bit. Instead I readthis thread and sobbed most of the way through. Such a moving story. Have a read (if you've got a spare hour and don't mind being in floods of tears)

Torfhinn · 02/05/2015 18:02

sorry to hear wombat x

Torfhinn · 02/05/2015 18:01

cycle buddies hope! I have no idea when to test! fx for you Smile

i agree with pixie.. i reckon Victoria!
