Ok so I am bravely attempting to set up a new thread for anyone tTC.
Plug in your stats ...
Share the highs of your journey
Limit the lows - yes it's a challenging time but being negative gets you down.
I'm thinking positivity breeds positivity and positive thinking gets positive results -
It may take some of us a little longer than others ... but does that matter? I think not.

New rules - instead of saying af due ... we say bfp due ...

So here goes ... my stats
Age 38
Cycle 3
Bfp due 14/02

Oh how exciting EMHW! That would be the best ever getaway!
I also want to know what pram?

well I'm trying to hold out till valentines! I'm a POAS addict, plus my letter has come through for my infertility appointment it's the 21st of Feb:-/ doctor said I wouldnt get the appoint for probably a couple of months, must've been a cancellation.

Was out with the in laws today, could barely concentrate on what they were saying I wanted to take my bra off so bad lol. I've only got very padded push up bra typesConfused

I have my heart set on a Joolz Day in Parrot Blue with tan leather handles. It's £800 Shock!!!!! I don't even know if it will fit in my tiny cottage but I love it. 😍
Have you found one you like?

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 17:14

salem I love prams!! It's my one thing I can't wait to buy! Defo not sad! Which one are you after?! Cute of your DH too :) primark has some lovely baby stuff now!

Off to the Suffolk coast, although I had a similar "feeling" at New Years and I was wrong 😂🙈

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 16:56

Oooooo how exiting EMH!!! Where are you going (sorry if I have missed previously!).
Primark had the cutest baby things today. I also told DH about the pram I want (sad) and he said it sounds nice (!!!!!!!).

Yessss Hippy PMA lol! March is going to be our month. November babies here we come!!!!

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 16:53

Yes hippy! Bfp 😬😬 we are away next weekend and I'm secretly hoping my DP will propose! Would be the most perfect weekend ever if both were to happen!

Also the babygrow arrives Monday! I'm excited to see it 😍

I also have a higher sex drive than my DP Blushah well I think it's because he's older than me 😂

You're absolutely spot on Moo - oh definitely needs time to think things through... I just wish he would realise how long it can take ... his own sister took 18 months tTC ds1 (she now has x2 ds's)... I've mentioned this to him when casually bringing up the tTC conversation and he just doesn't say anything ... I'm wondering if it's even registering... but then he's so observant about everything (and I mean everything), he's definitely heard me! He even notices when I'm tapping away on mn and the other day accusingly asked who I was texting ... obviously he doesn't know I'm on here.

You have to laugh about it ... there's no point in getting upset - i tried that back in December and it made me feel terrible and really doesnt help. It does take 6 months on average to conceive, and I personally think it takes 3 months in addition to that to prep your body- supplements don't work instantly (my naturopath told me they take a good few months taking them every day to work through your system), coupled with the fact that I only really dtd once in fw kinda puts it in perspective for me a little ... doesn't really make those bfns or af visits any easier but hey ho :))) xxx

Age 33 ttc 1
Cycle 5

Aunt Flo due 20th fully expect her to be her asshole punctual self 😬

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 15:21

Thanks everyone for stats, I'll compile a list later on and give people some more time if needs be.

I'm always in the mood to DTD Blush. DH is the opposite! It does get a bit like a chore when you are TTC though, no matter what anyone says.

I love those pics Hippy & Bella!!!

I hope everyone is having a good day xxx

Moo31 · 11/02/2017 14:13

Oh and I'm CD9 :)

Moo31 · 11/02/2017 14:11

Hippy - at least you can laugh about it! He sounds like the kind of person that needs a seed planted and then give it some time to grow and then he will be round to the idea and it will be like it was his idea - in my experience anyway! ;)

Rose - made me laugh out loud! Sounds +ve :) and I will find out about the wine for you.

Charley - that would be hilarious them shaving our legs and painting our nails but we probably wouldn't be able to see them anyway so it won't matter when they make a mess of them!! Haha!

Re dtd - oh is happier about it than me. We've never done it as much as we have the past 6 months! Neither have v high sex drives but I'm finding it such a chore! Def want it more when I'm on af same as you charley but isn't it typical that our bodies would do that to us!!

Thanks Salem my stats are:
Ttc #1
Age 30
Cycle 6
Bfp due 4 March(ish)

Haha hippy diy!! GrinWink

I'm out with my mum atm so this msg feels very brief sorry!

Hello ladies,
Don't have a proper chance to read through comments but hope you're all enjoying your Sat. Just dropping off my stats!
Age 28
TTC #1
Cycle 3 (originally thought 4 but was lovingly reminded by DH how shit my math was and that we'd only been waiting for our first BFP since December Blush )
CD 7
March is our month ladies!

BellaMoon · 11/02/2017 12:49

sorry @2ducks that posted early

i was him to relax today/tomorrow. we're on cycle 1 of TTC, this could be a long road and if he's feeling this already, then we've started off on the wrong track.

i'll do my best to "spoil" him this evening so that it's not doing the duty, rather than dirty!

i use my mobile to post here ladies so i don't always pick up on all posts or comments but i do read them all - great info/experience sharing and of course, PMA - thanks so much for the honesty xxx

BellaMoon · 11/02/2017 12:45

@2ducks

ill bear that in mind, thanks for sharing. i did suggest last night due to his "sense of duty" disclosure that he relax today/tomorrow,

2ducks2ducklings · 11/02/2017 12:26

Bella- I used to feel a little more horny around ovulation time, but as the cycles come and go, that's ebbed away a bit. For my husband too. He told me this morning he 'misses the chase' GrinGrinso the thrill of having me throw myself at him has now worn off and it really does feel like we're doing it for just one reason at the moment. We're both knackered!

Charley - thank you for saying I'm an inspiration... I don't feel very inspirational right now ... but I only had a little cry yesterday and it was more like a whimper .... cuz do you know what universe... me and mumsnet friends are going to get upduffed so you might as well accept that and work with us ... just saying! :)))
Reference dtd - I often read that it's recommended to do it every other day when tTC and to keep dtd regularly in between ... clearly not a much .... but men do need to keep the supply fresh so if you can't dtd throughout the cycle you may want to get your dh's relieving themselves 2-3 times a week .... not sure how true this is but I've definitely read it and I've read a lot xxx

Aw bless your DH Bella! It's good that he felt comfortable talking to you about it though! It's always the woman that get thought about with us doing all the planning and peeing but I think it must be hard for them knowing they have to perform for the specific need of getting pregnant. I also feel for them when they have to deal with AF melt downs! I'm pretty much up for it whenever haha! Although I do get extra super excited when I'm on my AF which is obviously just a bloody waste haha! I end up like a grumpy frustrated maniac by the end of it.
