Have been slowly coming off antidepressants and stopped taking the pill (using condoms) to get body back to normal ready to try for no.2 in June, also started taking pregnacare. I know its early to start posting but got my first proper period today so just been on site to check fertile dates for months again and think we're going to go for it in June - ooooooooooooo, very excited. Just wondered if there was anyone else out there planning way ahead cos i wouldn't talk to anyone in RL life about it so far ahead, other than dh!

lissie · 08/06/2007 09:24

this month seems to be flying by! cant believe that my HSG is obn monday, anyone been for one?

tigerschick · 08/06/2007 09:21

Morning ladies

Waiting - Hope your dr gives you some answers, it is the not knowing that is so frustrating I think. Good luck.

BB - Happy Birthday. Sorry that you are not feeling too great at the moment. It's rotten luck about your business partner. How far 'gone' is she? You might not need to stop ttc if she is a few months already as your maternity leaves could run one after the other. Don't give up hope yet

lissie - Hi, how are you today?

Derah - sorry your period turned up for real, how annoying to keep you hanging on like that! Good luck for next month.

Scorpio - Dh is gutted that we can't get down to the game. But not as gutted as my next-door neighbour, she is from Penzance and is both a Tigers and Pirates fan!! She would love to go but this year, for the first time in 13 years, they are not going to Cornwall for their holiday, they're off to France instead!!

Well, as usual, I haven't got a clue what is going on with my body. I'm just waiting until Tuesday when, hopefully, I'll get some answers. But the most I can hope for is to be told what is wrong and then be referred to a gyn, and then it's anyone's guess how long I'll have to wait. Ah well, dh is quite happy with sex-when-we-feel-like-it rather than sex-to-order so we'll keep up with that for now

Hope everyone is well and happy today. Anyone testing soon?

derah · 08/06/2007 08:51

Morning all

BabyBratt, I'm so sorry to hear that you might have to stop trying for a while. That must be so frustrating for you. Hope you manage to have a happy birthday anyway. I was miserable on my 30th!!

Well, period showed up this morning. Yesterday's spotting had stopped by late afternoon and I was so excited that there was still hope (I never usually have spotting at all)!! I'm sure my period was laughing at me that it had managed to fool me 2 months in a row!

Still, dd was so annoying this morning that dh and I were wondering why it is we want the one we've got, never mind another one!!!

Roll on next month....

lissie · 08/06/2007 08:03

oh and spugs, be prepared for an odd af. my post mc af's were erratic and quite painful & heavy. you know where i am!

lissie · 08/06/2007 08:02

hi all, my you have been chatty, Minx, havent spoken for ages congrats sweetheart!

plummy, i know its tough but the 18th isnt far away!

scorpio, ikwym im a size 8 (but with dimples) and wouldnt even wear hotpants when i was 18!!

BabyBratt · 08/06/2007 07:38

Oh I forgot scorpio speaking as a size 12 (with dimples) Im very jealous of your hotpants and size 6/8 I think I was born bigger than that.

BabyBratt · 08/06/2007 07:34

Hi all, hope you are all well. "congratulations" to all of you who have BFPs.
"Good luck" to all of those waiting to test.

"waiting4bamino" I am on my 6 month of ttc with 1st and nothing seems to be happening. Every month is just harder and harder. Its my 30th today and I feel very down. I have my own business and my business partner announced she was pregnant so it looks like we will have to stop ttc. Which is tearing me a DH apart. oour business is new and it might fail if both of us fall pregnant.

Its the hardest thing in the world (well maybe not). I just want a baby even if Im only ever blessed with one.

Anyway I best get my happy face on to face RL.

waiting4bambino · 08/06/2007 00:15

hi all, havent posted in a while! But have been checking in and seeing what you're all up to! Although this site is amazing for support and info/advice, I actually found that I've obsessed less this cycle than others when i was back and fore on here everyday!
This month I havent taken a single temperature, I've drunk cider! and I've stopped counting days etc, and havent peed on any opks yet. However, i have got an appt at the docs (though they'll probably send me away) as its been almost 7 months now that we've been ttc.. seems like forever!
Anyway, i thought i'd check in and see if anyone out there is having the same problems as me (very late ovulation) and if their docs have helped at all! Thanks girls, good luck for this month!

tigerschick · 07/06/2007 21:03

Woo Hoo Scorpio!!!

Can't make it, we're having a bbq here as it's the same day that England play Wales. You going? if you are!!!

You're going down Cornish girl!!!

plummymummy · 07/06/2007 20:40

Soph - glad the concert went well. Now where's that bottle of wine? Pour me one too Actually, I am relieved as I am now going off alcohol. It was bothering me that I still craved it - thought it was a sign that all was not well.

plummymummy · 07/06/2007 20:38

That is fantastic news minxy. Delighted for you Your dp is sweet worrying about you. I kind of think there is no logic in these things - what's meant to be is meant to be. When would your due date be? Hi Scorpio, Tiger, everyone else I'm holding out ok. The days are dragging but I'm determined to wait til the next scheduled one on 18th. Dh coming with me. I had some niggling pains down there today but I suppose that's normal - just me over analysing every little twinge.

manamana · 07/06/2007 20:20

Woweee minxy, that's fantastic news .
Soph, sorry to hear about bfn but all hope not gone until AF turns up.
Sending love and good luck to everyone else, too knackered to post much - got to get ready for weekend away and dh isn't back til early ohours of this morning. Bought another test today so I could watch the line appear and convince myself that I wasn't making it up but still have one left for dh!

tiger - its official - my team v your team, August 4, at home to my team. you coming?? (be prepared to lose)

minxy125 · 07/06/2007 19:29

Hiya spugs, yes did have af between mc and bfp, was quite a weird cycle though, mc started on 14th april, bleeding for about 2wks then af on 8th may, think i then ov'd sun 20th which is earlier than I thought I would, but had heavy spotting last week, thought this was some kind of weird af, but then realized it was earlier then predicted af, felt crampy and periody the last couple of days, did not think for one min I would be pregnant.

Sorry you have had such a bad time too, mc's are very hard on you mentally and I think they mess around with you for a long time.

If you wanna chat feel free to cat me??

spugs · 07/06/2007 18:59

Congrats on the bfp Minxy, if you dont mind me asking did you have an af between mc and bfp?
Scorpio - happy birthday to the littleun and hot pants are generally a good thing when you 22 and 1 6/8
hope everyones well and not stressing to much

tigerschick · 07/06/2007 18:38

Scorpio - the thing was, I was waiting for the chap to come back from the store room with a very modest black skirt - past the knee, full, not in the least bit saucy - when I saw them! I feel so old sometimes
Oh and - I think at a 6/8 and 22yo you are very much allowed to wear them. Tho I hate you coz you've had 2 dc and are a lot smaller than me!!

Gotta go and give dd her bath, catch you later.

minxy125 · 07/06/2007 18:33

Thanks derah and I would test, but like you i am a testaholic too, maybe we should set up a support group!! Will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

scorpio1 · 07/06/2007 18:33

tiger - lol at hotpants thought! i always wonder about clothes like that in that size.... i'm a size 6/8 though so think i am allowed?

tigerschick · 07/06/2007 18:31

Woo Hoo! Congratualtions Minxy!!

Derah - if you can manage it, it might help to wait a few days. The hormones get a lot stronger very quickly and you're much more likely to get a bfp if you wait. Good luck if you decide to ignore me and test anyway

Scorpio - you OK chick? Congratulations on your first year. Was thinking of you earlier when I was looking at some very 'hot' hot pants in New Look. Put it this way, I have underwear that covers more!!! The scarey thing is that they were in a size 18... now I'm a 12-14 and I wouldn't dream of wearing anything that teeny - well, not in public

derah · 07/06/2007 18:21

Yay Minxy and good luck!!

Should I test tomorrow? Not much chance that I won't. I'm a confirmed testaholic!! This of course depends on period not showing up before morning....

minxy125 · 07/06/2007 18:17

Thanks scorpio I really hope this one will stick!, I really don't wanna cope with going through anymore mc's!! Its just a shame the first weeks have to be so testing and stressful when you have gone through mc.

scorpio1 · 07/06/2007 18:10

yay minxy your body will cope, you are designed for it!! congrats so pleased. sorry to hear of your previous mc, heres hoping for a happy pg for you now!

minxy125 · 07/06/2007 18:06

Well ladies I hope you are all ok?

I agree derah it is all so confusing, I hope you get the answer you want really soon! When will you test?

Sorry soph for your bfn although I agree with everyone else while period away there is always a chance!! Sounds like the concert was good for you, no tears?? Well done you!

plummy hope you and little beanie are both ok, and you are taking things easy.

scorpio congrats on finishing uni, you must be relieved, chance to kick back and have some fun now!!

lissie hope you are in better spirits after your awful doc's appointment, they can be insensitive at times, although I doubt this make you feel any better. Keep smiling sweetie, you have been a big help to me and a lot of others, just hope you can get your bfp soon.

Well still had no period this morning so DP and I did a little test, and it came up as BFP, straight away with no messing, you could have knocked me over with a feather, being as this was the first properish cycle after mc, god I can't belive it still, to the point I have done 4 tests all same answer. So now I am bricking it!! Dp worried my body is not ready for it yet, I understand his concerns and I too worry, but kinda think there's a bit of fate there. I am just taking everyday as it comes now!! Sorry for going on but obviously I don't want anyone in RL knowing just yet!!

scorpio1 · 07/06/2007 18:00

cd5 here, nothing new to report.

Good luck to those waiting for bfp/period to arrive!

Well i have finished my first year at uni

have any of you seen happy feet? just jigging to the first bit !! ds1 got it for his bday pressie

Tiger - hows things?
