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

Thanks plummymummy - I was correct in working it out after all!

cd is cycle day. The first day of your cycle is CD1

Morning everyone! Was talking to DH last night and I think we probably could have conceived DS a lot sooner as I don´t think I got this CD thing right the first time. However, DH was a happy bunny as he´s seeing more action this month than most . Unfortunately DH is out on Fri and staying with a mate and we´re staying at friends for the rest of the weekend and they have really squeaky beds, so no more action this week!! Just to double-check (I know I´m pathetic) can someone please explain the CD thing for me.

Thanks for the welcomes from wheely and booby and Mrs McJ and also thanks Sienna for your thoughts re DH's dad. He was the best FIL I could have wished for. I actually got to know him well while on ML with DS as he came to visit me alot cos he was off work having treatment for his illness. I have had many an issue with my MIL although thankfully we bonded eventually over our joint love of DS and I now couldn't do without all her support. When Sienna said about her dad and FIL it made me realise how common an experience we are having with bereavement and how it does help to share which is why this site also helps such alot with TTC and all the experiences related to that. Anyway realise I am probably spelling out the totally obvious so will stop waffling and away to some work! x

just wanted to say sorry boobylicious on your BFN - heres hoping for a BFP in May x

hello all !

Welcome Pippi, bobby and sienna .. good luck !

Sorry you've had to join us from April Lexi, especially after the 'am I, aren't I'. Grr on your behalf.

Imawurzel - sounds very promising... fingers crossed, let us know how you get on testing.

Boobylicious - sorry about BFN....

Scorpio - hope the weekend's ok for you !

Hello everyone else, and especially to Meto (whoever you are, I have a vague idea but its probably wrong) cycle buddy. not having much luck (to answer Mrsmc's question...) - a combination of DH not getting in from work till late, eating late, going to bed late and then having an off colour year old shouting out everytime we tried to get down to it meant last night was a right off, as is tonight as DH is out. Luckily no +OPK yet so fingers crossed it holds off till the weekend (whats the betting though I have a shorter cycle than usual this month just to spite me).

Take care everyone !

sorry bfn ladies plus more cramps so who knows

and sorry for the typo's

thanks for all this support im about to pee ona stick lol just to let you

ant to fill you in im 8months and 3weeks since i gae birth im just bf morning and night now so my last af was 16 nov 2005 so i have no idea wats going on

but emotionally i feel weird my body feels weird weird craps boobs solid when they shouldnt be and when i was preg last time that was the first sign i was very lucky and had no nausea

hello to the newbies congrats to any bfp's and comisserations to any vists from af

Meto, will have to think about that (and talk to you more !) Hope you are having a lovely anniversary!

Goingfor3 ? re the egg , I can?t remember exactly what was said, I?d have to search the old threads, and maybe it?s more to do with what the follicle itself does after the egg leaves? Really confused myself now! Sorry! I can?t believe your GP said that. I think they throw that word around too much and that it is insensitive. Mine told me last week that I was probably infertile after my MC. I don?t think she meant permanently but it still felt crap. Hope you are ok?

Welcome Soph73 ? stitch like pains in one side are often felt before OV, its the follicles growing.

The change of plan for DP sounds good Scorpio!

Hello Wheely hope your attempts at calling your DH to action are working more than mine damn and bloody football (and Sky box breaking!) meant there was no BD last night and he is in a stinker tonight and so I doubt I?ll get any tonight either (and had a +ive OPK at lunchtime too!) fingers crossed he changes his tune or I will be seriously furious with him.

How are you Tigerschick? Boss absent most of the day today

Lexie100 ? at least you know where you are now but sorry AF arrived.

Kaleidoscope no worries! Totally understand!

Fingers crossed Boobylicious and Imawurzel

Siennammm I know exactly how you feel. I?m so sorry about your MC. I had a MC on 1/3 and really hoped I?d fall again the first cycle, but now feel quite pleased that I?ve had an AF since then ? as long as I fall this cycle that is! Don?t want to wait 8 months again The first few cycles after a MC can be odd. It is also quite common not to ovulate or to ovulate really late too. I normally have a 28 day cycle with OV between Cd16-18, last cycle was 40 days with OV on cd33. Better luck this cycle! If you have a surge in temp for 3 days on the trot, you are likely to have OVd the day before the rise.

Flumpytigger ? I hope DH stands up to the test ? mine is not keeping his end of the bargain at the mo

Best of luck to you too Bobbydazzler and PippiLangstump

That very funny Soph73

aw bobby, just wanted to say how sorry i was about DH's dad and grandpa - we lost my darling dad a few years ago and then dh's dad the year after, its hard isnt it - made it really hard when dd was born as we couldnt share it with both dads but i am sure they were watching from wherever they were x

in answer to Sienna's q re birthdays, it is my DH's on 26th may. He has had a tough start to this year as he lost his Dad and my DS's lovely grandpa in Feb to cancer so I reckon a BFP would be the best birthday pressie I could give him this month. Heres hoping and trying!

Hi all and to all new ladies.

Well i have talked to my close RL friends about the whole TTC and feel much better about the whole thing. I'm just hormonal. Will get on access diagnostic and stock up again for this month.

Thanks for all the support.

CD2 and no idea when AF due.

Good luck with BD and testing everyone else.

Hi everyone. Thanks for that wheelybug, have told dh and looks good for bding 2nite . If I´ve got this right I think I´m CD14 although I´m not quite sure if I´ve got this CD thing worked out properly.

Meto - I hope I´m not here that long either although it is nice to be in contact with everyone.

Goingfor3 - Your dr sounds like a real s**t. How on earth does she know before doing any tests. I didn´t realise that drs these days were trained psychics!!

yeah, wurzel, read your posts, looks like its gonna be a BFP for you - how fantastic. Really hoping everyone on here gets a BFP next month - its my birthday on May 2nd - anyone else got a birthday next month?

Imawerzal - congratulations, look like you are heading for a bfp on saturday then...

hello pipi, im new to the thread too, welcome.
wurzel, that sounds exciting..if you can bear it though i would hold of testing again until friday/sat at least.

Hi Sienna (I think of Sienna Miller when reading your nickname!) thks for the baby dust. DS is now 2yrs and almost 5mths. If we do get lucky this mth the next babe will also be a Jan one! Heres hoping . I think I am right in thinking you have 2 and have just had a M/C for which very sorry. Baby dust back to you too and everyone else. x

PS I cannot do all this technical jargon yet...

Hello to you all. Can I join this thread pls? DH and I have started trying for DC2. First time we did not even have time to try (it happened after 6/7 ... weeks together!! I know I know...).

we'll see this time. Ideally I hoe for a spring birth but te sooner the better.

hi bobby, welcome, i have only just joined too and have been lurking for a little while, watching the TTC thread - so how long is your other lo? I know what you mean about being older and it seems to take longer when you are really trying? We conceived my ds without even trying, ds took 7 months and this is now our 4th month of ttc! Babydust and good luck to you x

Hi All Mumsnetters!

Have been lurking for awhile and have posted on a couple of conception threads. I too would like to join the May thread. I am CD 11 (I think I have got terminology right? 11 days since start of last AF)OV around now. Next AF due between 10 and 13th May. Eleventh cycle of TTC no2. DS conceived easily in third cycle last time round. Difference I guess being I was a bit younger and also not broody like I am now.

Good luck to us all in May .

temp going higher means you have ovd the day previous (or roughly).if your cycle is 28-33 days aim for cd11 - cd17 ish.you need to get the sperm there just before and just after ov for anything to happen!sorry im a bit rushed now oh and welcome!

Hi Sienammm! Sorry - I'm pretty new to this too so can't answer your questions but I'm sure one of the others will be along in a bit to fill you in. Also sorry to hear about your m/c. Fingers crossed for you this month
