Yes, we know all about how emotional and hard it can be! All the pros and cons, all about missing Aunty Flo's and wtf cycles with no ovulation, all about children being cute and pointy. No matter if you are five months or twenty months down the breastfeeding timeline, if you're ttc again, this is the thread to join! Welcome! Easter Smile

Those of you who temp.. What kind of thermometer do you use?
Do you need to test same time daily?

Mumof1sofar · 14/04/2015 10:02

Haha thanks for the analysis aux Smile Mary, the hunger games! Had you just watched the film?

MarysPrayer · 14/04/2015 08:13

I dreamt I was a contestant in the Hunger Games. Scary. Wonder what that means..

Another bf this morning. Confused So the screwing up of soy iso taking everything continues.

auxiliaryauroch · 14/04/2015 07:51

I hate those mumo. Probably indicates you're stresses and worries about what another pregnancy or dc will do to your relationship with your current dc. that'll be £100, and you can make the cheque out to Dr Auxiliaryauroch, DreamShrink par excellance Grin

Mumof1sofar · 14/04/2015 07:42

Ugh I had the most terrifying dreams last night that my dc was snatched from me! Woke up feeling so scared! Horrible!Confused

Dro, my HG never appeared with #3, you might just escape it!

Mumof1sofar · 13/04/2015 19:27

Wise words mrsmoo. Sorry to hear that, Mary. Must have been difficult Sad

MrsMoo3 · 13/04/2015 18:38

Flowers for Mary and Pear. Sorry you're both finding it hard. I know the feeling of being surrounded by pregnant women the moment you start trying. Where do they come from?!? We just have to remember we will get our BFPs and we're giving/ have given our beautiful babies the best possible start in life. We will get there ladies!!! Roll on the BFPs (or even AF so we know where we are!)

MarysPrayer · 13/04/2015 18:04

Pregnancy announcement at work today. Feeling Sad

Mumof1sofar · 13/04/2015 17:57

Pear sorry you're feeling low. Thanks You have inspired me to become a clear blue product tester too! Have sent off my details Smile

Congrats Rosie Flowers, I've been trying to catch the first egg too with no luck Envy. Wink

Droflove · 13/04/2015 11:26

Congrats Rosie!!!! And 11dpo result so it must be a nice strong one!

Mary, Duchess, I'm doing great so far. I'm 6 wks yesterday by last known period but 6 wks tomorrow by ovulation. I got sick on ds from 5.5wk and dd from 6 wks and j tend to get hg so am literally dancing, eating and living it up in my last moments before the he'll hits. I think do will be glad to see me puke as we both worry that there's no symptoms but every day I'm not sick is a gift. We've dd's christening this weekend so hope I'm not too ill to cope with it. Haven't told anyone except my nanny as I wanted to ask her to increase hrs for 3 months once the hg kicks in so that my two little ones are well looked after if I'm only able to crawl on the floor.

Pear, so sorry you are feeling low about ttc. Having a bfp makes me probably the last person you want to hear from but I wanted to send some cyber support and a hug. You will be at a point in the future where you have your new ds/dd and this phase is in the past. Hang in there. It will work.

MistletoeBUTNOwine · 13/04/2015 09:46

Huge congratulations Rosie!

So, I'm on CD 34, no AF, bfn yesterday.
