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

Flumpy I think I did my first test when I was 6 days pre af! It was negative but I still carried on testing as I just felt something was going on down there iyswim. Got a positive 4 days early but it was week. The lines gradually got stronger. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Aww Anniemac. I had it the other way around - dd took ages, ds was first try (that was a shock). But this one was 4 cycles - so maybe June will be your month!

Flumpy - I got a BFN on Wed, and a very faint BFP with a sensitve 10mIU test on Friday, AF due Monday (yesterday) ...

So sorry anniemac . You're not the only one who thought number two would be easy - I was shocked at the stubborn attitude of my ovaries and uterus! June is a lovely month so hope it's a lucky one for you.

Hi All,

Sorry about your Dp's Aunt kitty. Although it was a shock you're right about it being the best way to go. That's how I'd like to go.. a nice long life and no suffering for me or my family at the end.

Scorpio there's still hope! But I know what you mean about not wanting to feel like it's a race. I kind of have mixed feelings about the thought of getting pregnant too quick. Probably for different reasons to you, but I worry that I might not have grieved properly for my lost little boy and whether I'll regret rushing to get pregnant in such a short space of time

I'm feeling quite emotional today, but that could be a combination of af and hormones etc. I don't feel pregnant so af will prob arrive on cue tomorrow!

(Flummy Whispers to Plummy I did a test 4 days ago because I had a crazy 'I feel pregnant moment'. I felt so silly and embarrassed after I got a bfn )

Hello fruitfil.. just waiting for af now, only 1 day to go!!

Hello to everyone else, thanks for all the crossed fingers! Will keep you posted

scorpio - so sorry about your BFN but as you said it's very early days for you after getting the coil removed so your body probably needs a few more cycles to get into the swing of things

anniemac - sorry to hear about your BFN too but at least your GP is starting to look into things for you

thanks for your thoughts, DPs aunt was nearly 80 and it was very quick whilst it's a shock it's the best way. Everything else is fine just went and bought the DDs new shoes this morning, cute little summer canvas ones but they are still so expensive, keep thinking eek imagine when we have 3 to buy shoes for, hope it's a girl then she can have all her sisters clothes and shoes.

big hellos to everyone else too

Was wondering about skibump too. Hope she is ok.

Oh Scorpio. I was really hopeful for you there! I hope your hormones settle down soon. Mine had a bit of a hormone-festival after I came off the pill but they did revert to normality (and the result is 5 today!).

How are you Sweetkitty?

Flumpy? Flospot? ???

Shit. So sorry Scorpio about your bfn but af still not here so still hope. I can understand what you mean about not wanting it to be a race cos much as you feel happy for others of course you want one yourself - that's why we all joined the thread in the first place. I am still hoping you will join the new year thread but if not, I want to hear lurid details about your night out clubbing (remember, I was to drink loads of wine and eat prawns and you were going clubbing). Actually I did eat prawns this week. My book says it's ok as long as they are cooked and have a use by date on the pack. Drank alcohol free beer last night - yuk! I hope you get an answer one way or the other as those long cycles must be stressful

just a quick note to say have re-tested and is a bfn, clearblue digital says so, as does another brand of cheapy tests. those other cheapy tests must have showed it up anyway, i have thrown them away!!so im cd31 today, just waiting for period and to do this all over again! i am going to not pop on here so much because it stresses me and makes me feel crap sometimes.i have to keep reminding myself that its not a race; i am trying to make a baby, and if it takes a little time, then hey, its worth it. thats my mantra anyway, after all, it has only been 12 weeks since coil removal!thats not long at all.

thanks for all of caring and asking

Plummy - how're you feeling?

Tiger - you ok? youre quiet.....

Sweetkitty- sorry to hear of your news hoping you're all ok.

Flumpy-fingers crossed!

hope the rest of you are well

So sorry to hear this sweetkitty

afternoon all had some bad news today DP's aunt passed away last night so we had to go down to our hometown today, am utterly shattered as DD2 was up at 5.30am this morning which is very unlike her.

CD13 here already don't know whether to BD tonight or not although am very tired, TMI but discharge is already starting to increase a lot today so I reckon OV will be in the next few days.

flumpytigger - hiya was wondering where you were will keep everything crossed for you for Tuesday

scorpio - you ok honey?

flosspot - any news?

Have my fingers crossed for you for tuesday. Aren't you tempted to test early? I tested 4 days early - I am so impatient.

Hi All,

Geees this thread speeds along when you're away for a bit!

Sorry I wasn't about much last week, but I'm trying to keep my mind of af's arrival.

Big congrats to:

Any news Scorpio? I've got everything crossed for you!

I have been symptom spotting like a crazy mad woman. I can't helping thinking about every tiny little thing like feeling a bit sick, having a sore back or a twinge and wondering if it could be pg related! But I just don't reckon May's gonna be my month I'm afraid.. we will see.

I am due on Tuesday CD33, so keep everything crossed that af doesn't arrive for me!

Not sure what went wrong with the list there. I hope this is right for everyone?

Hi all and thanks for the lovely welcome, am looking forward to getting to know you all.

My poor DP doesn't know what has hit him at the moment, thinks I have become some sex crazed pest!! He is not complaining though!!

minnow welcome - good luck!

Good luck to all hope we all get bfp's asap!!

Fruitful...hanging in as best possible. Not puting too much into it, as first month TTC. Congratulations on you BFP

Sweetkitty, is terrible....I am already looking for 'signs'

I think I got my bfp this month because I started bding much earlier. Have short cycle and reckon I was leaving it too late in the previous months. I also drank grapefruit juice each morning. They were the only things I changed.

welcome minnow - hope you get bfp soon

Thanks for the advice, I am exited! Have been feeling broody for a while now and time feels right

sweetkitty - sorry if I'm being really thick, but what's an e3? I'm glad you had a nice lunch. Butter him up ready for a BD fest!

Welcome Minnow! If there's anything we can do to help you feel less anxious, we'll try. You might have found it already, but in case you haven't, lissie started another thread for us to post our CDs etc. here

snowgirl - here's the June thread . Why not stick around here for a while - there are a few ladies over there by the look of it, but it hasn't really got going yet. When you say you're not testing, do you mean ov testing? This is just a thought, but might it be as well to squeeze in an extra BD or 2 each week on top of the twice that the DR recommended? I've heard advice to try every day from some people, and every other day from some people, but not as little as twice a week. Maybe some of the other ladies have advice about this. Sorry if I'm just interfering.

Thanks so much to all who have reassured me about the antibiotics. I'm still not sure whether I ought to wait for the blood results in case there is something wrong (they're testing for all sorts incl diabetes) - aaaaggghhhhh. I might have to make a quick decision, cos my temp took an unusually early dip today, so there's a slim possibility I could be ov today . I think it's prob just the antibiotics playing havoc with my temps. I don't have egg-white CM which is one of my main ov signs.

hi gals had a nice lunch out today and he's promised to buy me an e3

fruitful - I know what you mean what ages are your DC I really want a baby but keep thinking once it's done theres no going back!

snowgirl - I don't know about a TTC June thread I suppose once it's June 1st all us TTC-ers migrate over, my AF isn't due until June anyway, sending you some baby dust for June too

minnow - hi welcome to the thread and congrats on ttc your first, it is quite exciting, I was on the pill for oh well over 10 years before ttc no1 and it took us 9 months I think it takes a while for your body to get up to speed after all those years not ovulating, I think you are supposed to use other contraception for the first 3 months to allow your body to adjust not that I did and I also know people that conceived the first month.

plummy - another day past it's like a mini milestone isn't it?

sandcastles - 2 ww is agonising isn't it, hope it passes quiclky for you

scorpio - any news, how you doing?

hello to anyone else hope you are all having a good weekend

Hi, can I join you please. I have recently come off the pill (after 15 years) and now ttc. Have had one visit from af, was very light and short. have started charting temps to try and get piece of mind that everything is working OK! First time ttc so a little anxious about it all, trying to remain calm and realistic.
I am cd7 , not sure when to expect next af.
