TTC MAY-be, maybe not.... lets try again with the May thread

Ooh, have you tested? When I tested last month there was just one line in the control area. Have you got two lines? Do tell

hiya all,

sorry i've not been about for a few days - been feeling a bit down re the ttc etc. just can't seem to shake the desire for a no 2 a the minute. anyhow CD4 and hoping AF goes tomorrow so can start BD'ing again from weds till sun then hopefully fri and all w/e after (hoping not to miss OV - DH will be getting pounced on from next fri 2 p/d if need be! lol)

tiger-af due thursday.not spilling my inklings!!

Lissielou - It's to see if there is a reason why my cycle is so long and irregular. I'm actually quite impressed with my gp coz I went to him at the beginning of April and explained that it took over 3 years to conceive dd and I didn't want to wait that long for dc#2. He didn't try and fob me off with any 'wait and see' stuff that I hear a lot about on here, he just said that dd was evidence that 'things' do work, but not very well. So he booked me in for the scan. So now it's just a matter of waiting for the results and hoping they show something that can be treated.

Hi there - really sorry to butt in on the thread, so please feel free to ignore me but don't be horrible to me! I just thought I'd ask if anyone was interested in some vitamins - all in sealed packets - that I no longer require? for sale thread

I tjust seemed a shame to throw them away.

Anyway - good luck to all of you - I didn't post on here but certainly found good advice and morale boosters whilst trying for nearly 3 years (and succeeding so there is hope)

what is your scan for tiger?

Hi Scorpio - Can't believe I type so slowly that I x posted with you this morning!! Anyway, glad to hear that you are happy and well. When is your af due? Any inkling either way?

I think you lot have got me symptom spotting now!! No I can't blame you lot but I'm definately alot more aware of symptoms this time around. When I was expecting dd I didn't realise that I was pg until I was 8 weeks, despite having really achy boobs, being tired and being really grumpy with dh. I know at my lack of awareness!?! So now I know what to look for ... well ... I'm looking for it!! Ah well. Maybe the scan on the 31st will be a dating scan ... NO must not get ahead of myself!

Right, enough prattling. Gotta go.

i have 2 ds, ds1 4.11 and ds2 2.6,and a dss, 5.6

i am very baby greedy and i dont care!! my body, my baby, my house, my money! oh and dp sperm osmewhere along the line......

Plummy-i do feel better doing it this way round i now am studying to do something i have wanted to for a long time, and i will finish after having my baby.i am lucky enough to be able to stay at home and study whilst dp works.he is lovely . i just wondered about FR tests, and the lines on them.

bye!

Well, nearly time to go home so better start tidying up! Speak to you all tomorrow. Have great nights everyone

lol, dh struts around bragging about his supersperm too men

Plummy - 34, eek! However, like you, I definately wasn´t ready when I was younger.

sweetkitty - my first time on a ttc thread as well and you´re right it is exciting & you feel more inclined to tell a complete stranger the "ins and outs" (iyswim, lol!)

lissielou - lots of babydust being sent via express airmail for you

I wish I had found mumsnet when ttc DD1, it was a very lonely 9 months as no one really knew we were ttc and every month was when AF turned up and I did get a bit neurotic with it all. DP thinks he has supersperm after it took one BD with DD2 but I'm not so sure, men eh? It is so lovely when others get bfp especially if they have had a difficult time getting there.

Better go and wake DD2 from her nap or she won't sleep tonight, DD1 is making trains from my sofa cushions

Scorpio - did you mean what do people think of first response tests? I did one last month (got a twin pack) and all I can tell you is that it correctly told me I wasn't pregnant. This month I bought Tesco own twin pack (have one left to use tomorrow if no spotting before then) but if I was to get the faintest of lines I would test with clearblue digital as well. Can't go wrong with those.

lol plummy know what you mean. i cried when mrsmcj got hers and dont do that for rl peeps

tbh sweetkitty, i was so out of it thats its all a bit blurry. do remember the shoulder pain from internal bleeding after the removal of the ep, that was v scary indeed. still any baby dust gratefully received!

Yes it is weird - it's so nice when other women get a bfp on here as it softens the blow when yrs is a negative. The same magnanimous attitude does not extend to RL though

aww plummy will keep everything (well not everything ) crossed for you, this is my first time on a ttc thread and it is quite exciting isn't it? It's quite weird going through the ups and downs of ttc with complete strangers and really willing them on to get a bfp when most of the time no one in RL knows you're ttc.

Thank you Soph Forgot to say thanks to everyone for all your support - it is so uplifting How old are you Soph? I didn't mean it's a doddle being young and having kids, by the way. As if! It's no picnic either way. I have colleagues at work who had theirs young and now they can get on with their careers and have time to themselves and it seems more logical and makes me a little envious at times, but there was no way I was ready for kids before I had them. I also realise that some women want to get their careers established before having kids - which is fine too. Each to their own. Oh and of course one has to actually meet a man they want to have kids with and that is not time specific Anyway, enough waffling (see, I am losing it)

Sweetkitty - sorry about that, sometimes I just can´t help bragging You´re definately right about men not understanding. Might try pouncing on him in the mornings - although I´m not really a morning person

scorpio - what age are your DCs and what do you have again (too lazy to read all this thread), I have a 2.10yo and a 16 mo so you would think I had enough to do without thinking about number 3, sometimes I think I am tempting fate after 2 healthy DDs and I should be happy with what I have, I just hope all thoughts of brrodiness and babies goes once DB is here and I will feel my family is complete. I agree with you completely re the holiday/car/financial thing of having more thatn 3 though.

soph - will you stop making me of where you live although today has been quite nice here and we've been out in the garden for a bit. I don't think men ever understand the obsession we have when ttc.

lissielou - have a great hol maybe it's what you need to relax and let the baby dust do it's magic, can't believe your story about almost dying eek that's scary.

bobbydazzler - hi sorry about your FTC last month welcome and loads of baby dust to you too
hi to anyone else I've missed as well

Sorry - should be "sending"

Plummy - send HUGE positive vibes your way

Not always idyllic as we still have to work , pay bills, etc. We´ve been here 7 years now - got married out here and ds was born here.

Hi all Here's an update: no spotting so far. Did test at work (neg). Body feels strange - butterflies feeling in my stomach. Probably nerves. No cramps. Felt a trickle (sorry if tmi)a few times today and rushed to toilet to knicker watch but it was nothing. Guess it's a waiting game. Will test fmu tomorrow. Of course, it could be that the painters are coming late this month - that would be typical but obviously I am still hoping for a bpf to make me . Bluebell on 2 week wait thread got a bfp today 4 days before her period due (with clear blue) V pleased for her (though don't really know her). I haven't been calm at all but I've been trying my best to distract myself (un-successfully most of the time) Hope you have a great holiday Lissie. Would be nice if you conceived whilst away - lots of women do. Glad you and dh are close Scorpio and fwiw I think you have been wise to have kids young as it can be harder to juggle children and work when you are older because women tend to be more established in their careers when they are older. Hope everyone is ok and sorry if I missed anyone out - rather distracted at the mo.
