TTC Thread 13.................Still send babydust our way please

nasa, Becki, Munnzie - you are so lovely, thank you so much. It's so brilliant that I can just type in a plea for help and there you are. Feeling all tearful now (very hormonal!) but thank you, thank you, thank you for being there.

nasa - we're synchronising again! Am off to the pub shortly and will raise a glass in your honour (silently, obviously - don't want my workmates to think I've gone mad and started stalking a strange woman on the internet!). Will think of you this weekend.

Becki - it's so sweet of you to be so generous when you've had such a struggle lately. Wouldn't it be great if you and I could crack it and produce our miracle babies?!

Munnzie - you're just lovely! Thanks darlin.

Big hugs hester ((((hugs))) don't worry hon, it will happen. Think positive and try not to put too much pressure on you body ( I know it's hard hon) (((hugs)))

loads of baby dust going out to you as well.

and if it's going to come I wish it woudl just come once and for all. It's like the cramps without bleeding are there to torment you isn't it?

Oh Hester .... big hugs. I know how it feels when you just can't beleive that it won't happen. You're not alone, we share not only the happy times but the grief, the longing, the moods and everything else that goes with being a woman. Hope you can feel the warmth we are sending you xxxxx

oh hester poor you - here's some hugs from me {{{}}} (can't do babydust squiggle sorry!)
I think we're in the same boat - my AF is due sunday and I am having awful cramps - it's so depressing isn't it. You just can't get away from it when it's your own body can you IFYKWIM. All I can htink is "It's not fair".

nasa (was krocket)

Ladies, please help me if you can, please see message very very sore breasts and AF not due for 8 days,

OK, I didn't want to include this in the happy post I've just done, but I'm feeling very and if one or two of you lovely ladies could send a hug and babydust my way I'd be really grateful. Nothing horrendous happened, just cracking cramps (no bleeding yet) and feeling very premenstrual and weepy. I've mentally given myself till my next birthday to get pg before giving up the battle and that is only a few months off now so I REALLY need some luck. Somebody tell me it will all work out and I'll get my baby, even though you can't know that - please!

Cyndii, you star! I was wondering where all our babydust had gone this month and there you were, secretly hoovering it all up

Now you can join Pamina on our star chart and graciously send a little babydust our way!

Oh, and I think your advice about BDing before ovulation as well as at is brilliant; it's so easy to focus on the ov and ignore the wider fertile period. Thanks for reminding us.

Congrats to all the BFP's, well done aswell pam at least now you don't have to worry.

congrats and thanks!

I have not been on a TTC thread in a couple of months as I found it added to my stress of ttc. Well the good news is that I finally have the joy to announce that I finally had a bfp!!! All that baby dust finally came my way! Fingers crossed that I will be one of the lucky ones. I only did the tests (several) last weekend so I'm only in my 4th week will be 5 on Sunday!

So chins up mums to be it will happen. My advice bd before your fertile time, during and after as this is what I did this month, exhausting as it is but it hit home! Finally, and I say finally but I was only trying for 6 months as I know there are plenty of mums out ther trying for so much longer but 6 months was a very long time in m y world!

Lots & lots of baby dust **

(((hugs))) to all those with horrid AF

I'm into my 8th day of awful endo pain and am now so pissed off I'm beginning to wish AF would just come and be done with and I could take a stack of Nurofen and at least be pain free. But then, of course I don't really cus until she does I still have that glimmer of hope...

LOL at myself 8 days ago..."ooooh, I must have turned into one of those women who are sooooo in touch with their bodies I can feel myself ovulating. How marvellous..."

Haven't the foggiest what's going on in/down there!

Still, the sun's shining and it's a glorious day. Everything crossed for a BFP soon. Who's next to test???

bonkerz, Sorry to hear AF arrived (((hugs)))

MunnzieB, ((hugs)) TTC really is stressfull isnt it!!!!

CD13 here,

We really need BFP on here don't we...

Bonkerz - coult it be a miscarriage ?
I don't know if doing a pregnancy test would help determine that.... amyone knows?

afternoon all,

My god i'm pissed off (scuse the language!) work... who'd have it??? right i've just been to boots to get the OPK, i've bought teo type the clear blue digital and also one called on call from wilkos, I've only bought two as last month one lot said i was OV but the clear blue said I wasn't, but then again I did have two identical lines... could the clear blue be too light, and although the prog. levels are low, it's not low enough for teh dr to say i'm def not OV, bu not high enough to say def am. God it's stressful being a woman! lol.

Any how i'm also now armed with the starflower oil. so that with that the pregnacare and angus catus hopefully that should manage to change some results! lol.

I was planning on taking them all thru my cycle as DH isn't home till jan, so they will be fully into my system by then, then I was going to do the whole not after OV for all ecept the Pregnacare. Do you think this will be OK or should i just do up until OV even thou I know for certain I'm not going to get a BFP? also, will the other two not come out of your system if you have a break in it?

Any how thanks for reading me moaning!

am worried now cos af is REALLY heavy and have really bad stomach cramps! this is not normal for me!

Hi everyone - really busy week at work so zero time to chat! DD under the weather too so evenings have been taken up with her and watching Come Dancing which bizzarely is her new favourite! Must be Aled Jones in his lycra although was glad to see the back of Carol Vorderman!!! anyway I digress ....!

Jeddah - sorry you've been down honey! Know what you mean! I've succumbed to useing the damn OPKs and apart from weeing on my hand no joy there!!! DH is delighted with the amount of bed activity! although I'm starting to look like John Wayne! Feel sure I'm getting close to OVing though and typically have just got roped into babysitting for my sister in law tonight and it will be a late one ....not sure how up for it I will be!!

BUT am trying to keep calm and relaxed about it ....

Hope everyone else is OK! Will try and chat more regularly tomorrow!! xxx

bonkez so sorry matey

twiga me and my dh are trying the relaxed approach as well this month!

runtus fingers crossed for blood tests!

Tania sorry that we haven't chatted for a while I have been feeling very hormonal...think I am coming up to ov.....so I am listening to my body a bit more. In answer to your question ....it is poss to ov twice in one month......with the 2 lots of EWCM....I agree it is very confusing....but go with your gut instincts about your body ans If you are checking your ferns...this may help aswell. Remember what my dh said to me this month...just bd regulary for the first 2/3 of cycle and cover all poss of ov!!!!!! (thought he just wanted loads of bd!...... but he does have a point!!)

wilbur.......temps can go up for many reasons so you still may be ok! keep temping and see what it does over the next few days.....ALL IS NOT LOST!! any EWCM????????

WHOS COMING UP FOR TESTING THIS WEEKEND????? we need some BFPs

Hi Tania

Sorry I can't anwer your question - v. ignorant about all that stuff

though have a feeling I might soon become an expert! Sure someone else will know though.

Sleep well.

Nightmare - I think I've missed my best bding time this month! I'm on CD11 and my temp went up a little yesterday, but this morning it has shot up. I wanted to bd last night but dh was knackered and I didn't want to hassle him as he's still not 100%. Should have done it anyway. So I think I am OVing today (same day as my weird cycle last month, even though TCOYF seems to think I won't OV until Sunday.) I guess I have a shot today and tomorrow, but I really wanted to go mad this month and nail that egg.

I get that BeckiF, sort of feels the wrong way round but nothing to worry about I am sure!

AF is subsiding which is nice. My last af was horrendous and lasted days and days. This one started with a slight show Monday late night, heavy Tues & Weds and is disipating today. Hopefully more regular cycles will reduce the discomfort and flooding (and will also give me genuine chances to go the natural route!). DP is full on excited, I've not seen him THIS into the whole thing! Bless him (he has 3 kids that his evil ex won't let him see) ... I am also quite excited (slight understatement)!

One question though, this time and the last af I had I have had period pains (like you get before af starts) starting on the 3rd day (like today). Anyone else experienced this?
