Still TTC your first baby? New thread for toomuch's mobile!!

poppy 'traditional' lubricants can kill sperm (as can saliva ) so pre-seed is sperm-friendly lube which gives the swimmers something to swim in. Have never tried it myself but take a look at www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk I think they are the supplier of choice for MNers.

toomuch I don't think you're stupid at all! I love your positive attitude and your enthusiasm, I only wish I still had some left. Can you send some Swindon-wards?

Thanks for all the good wishes! Not able to post at work which is why I've not posted since this morning. Not that I've been able to concentrate on any work today

Too much - yes, 1st month so know I'm very lucky. Early days of course so trying to keep feet on ground.

Best of luck to everyone waiting to test, I'm telepathically willing BFPs your way.

Wow still have loads to learn about ttc!! You might as well give it a go let me know if it's any good.

Poppy - pre-seed is a sperm friendly lubrication which apparently can help with TTC.. thought it might be fun to try..

Hello again
Thanks for all the encouragement - good to have others to chat to.
Padfoot- I have had three blood tests all show ovulating, and also had an ultrascan which showed everything is normal. DH works away during week so I think it is due to timing. Now I have my temping I will try and schedule trips to see him!!!

toomuch- hello what are pre-seeds???

Mrs Mc: thanks for lovely words

Mrs R - sounds promising I went completely off wine when I was (very unusual for me) but your other symptoms sound positive. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Has anyone heard from Treenie???

Hi everyone! I've perked myself up (I mean after all it's only month 1 - don't know why I'm being such a wuss!) - I'm CD 3 and I've just ordered some pre-seed (anyone tried this?) so that I can play at rabbits this month

Ready - Good luck with your appointment!

Padfoot - Thanks for being so nice to me - I know I must come across as a stupid so and so since I'm only in month 1 - but I appreciate your messages!

Everyone else [big wave]

Lovely to see you too Ready, I've been missing you!
Good luck with appt tomorrow

Hi Ready it's nomore here. Glad to see you back, have missed you good luck for tomorrow, hope it goes ok. Have just emailed you.

Hey ladies... I can't keep up with all this moving about malarkey...

Hope everyone is ok?

I am mid-cylce, ovulated yesterday if my temp hike this morning is correct. Gynae appointment tomorrow... nervous.

Big wave to the new recruits, congrats on the BFP, and lovely to see you Bella.

PM can you get a blood test at the docs? Otherwise I'd just keep testing every couple of days until either BFP or AF shows up. Tesco's do a cheaper test than the name brands. Think first response detect lower levels of HCG (they say they can detect pg at 10 DPO) but think most are quite sensitive. The reason people like the CB digital is that it definitively says pg / not pg, there's no squinting at it in a certain light and at a funny angle to see if the line's there or not.

oh MrsR how confusing for you. I really hope it's good news on Wed, keep us posted and your chin up

I'm winding myself up thinking I'm pregnant:

missed period (2 weeks late, but have irregular/infrequent cycle);
been sick/feeling sick for about week and half;
stomach cramps;
lower back pain;
blue veins on my boobs;
itchy nipples (though this seems to have stopped);
breasts seem fuller;
trousers are slightly tighter;

but 2BFN

Not going to waste any more money on pregnancy tests, going to see gynae on Wed so hopefully he/she will be able to say one way or other.

Big wave back at ya toomuchtimeonline

Poppy 75 - I'm really sorry to hear that you m/c . My fingers are crossed for you getting pregnant again soon and going full term.

Pinkmartini, I have not really had very much experience myself, but it is my understanding that one pregnancy test is much alike another. That said I keep reading that First Response gives a result earlier.

Fi - everything crossed for you! Enjoy your fun in the park!

I've just posted a new thread on implantation bleeding.. I think I'm losing my mind!

hi girls!

am so busy working at the mo (good thing as it keeps my mind off ttc).

hope youre al well, no news form me, remember my good news that my body is finally back in order (was pretty quick so im not complaining) well, my poor hubby is now exhausted tee-hee after marathon Bding thursday through to sunday!

so now i guess is my REAL 2 wk wait!

treenie? I checked out the other thread....are you?

ARe you?

God its all too much for me, im so excited for you love!

Take care, will try and pop in later, off to park now, then cake shop, then park, then barbers, then art shop, then a break.......these boy are keeping me busy.its birthday party time on friday with 20 kids coming over..oh god.

MM - big congrats!!!! Was that your first month trying then?

PM - Which cheapo tests were you using? Some of the cheapo ones are meant to be quite sensitive so not sure if clear blue is better or not.. perhaps more reliable. I read on one report that first response are the best for early testing.. but not much experience..

MT- I hope you ovulated slightly later than you thought and the your bong worked

MrsR - Clomid is supposed to have really good success rates so I'm sure you'll get your bfp soon!

Padfoot - how are you feeling today - did you get a good nights sleep?

Treenie/Fi - any news?

Poppy - don't panic we'll all get there in the end [fingers crossed emotion]

Hello

Congrats MM{grin]

Well, CD29 and abt 17dpo (was due last Friday - so 4 days late). I've had a twingy crampy af style pains but nothing (I'm turning into an obsessive knicker checker!) I'm q hungry and tired and but the cheapo pg tests are still showing a BFN.

I don't know whether to go and get a clear blue - are they that much more sensitive?

Anyone?

poppy - have you been to gp to see if everything's ok? if not I would go as it's been a year since you started trying again. My gp was quite helpful in doing tests and referring us quickly, we're now under the gynae at the local hospital. fingers crossed for you
MT as you say better late than never - and sometmies not expecting it might make you more relaxed about it. My friend fell pg when her DH was away with the military as she thought it was too early before he went but they BD'ed (or bonged) anyway, and he came home to the good news a few weeks later. She thinks it was the fact that the pressure was off meant she relaxed and therefore got pg.

MM - congratualations!

I like Bong as a term - much better! Mind you, any other mnetter reading this thread from now on will do a double take and wonder what we're on about!

DH forgot that he doesn't really want #2 in the near future, although I think that he probably left it about 2 days too late to give me any hope for this month.. However, better late than never as they say... .

Hows the weather elsewhere - very mixed here, very gloomy at times but with patches of sunshine.

Fi - I knew that I'd picked the right bedding out in Ikea for you! Your star story just confirms it.

Thanks Padfoot, I'm REALLY hoping that Clomid works, I'm desperate for babies - arn't we all

Many congratulations to you MM, I'm so happy for you and hope the pregnancy goes well

MM congratulations!!
Best of luck with your pg

Hello everyone

MM- that is fantastic and gives us hope

Hello Padfoot and Mrs R- I've been ttc since last July, had m/c in June last year at 10 weeks. Didn't have to try very hard for 1st pregnancy so was really shocked that it hasn't happened since. Just trying to concentrate on other things and hoping this will help me relax

Oh my god!!!!! After all my worrying last night that I wasn't ovulating, got a BFP this morning!! I absolutely cannot believe it!! I have honestly had no symptoms at all with exception of sore boobs. Have stared at the clear blue stick till my eyes hurt but it's definitely a big blue cross!!! DH isn't home for another 30 mins from night shift, Oh my god!!!
