TTC Thread 15...........a thread full of babydust.

jb - no offence taken, but PMSL at you being too old!

I definitely am. I'm 40; have been trying (on and off) since I was 35

Cockenzie i'm 22, well will be 23 prob by the time we manage to concieve (god i didn;t want to be that old) - no offense to you older guys here).

Jeddah - Forgot to menton last night have u had the 21 day blood tests done yet? My GP wouldn't refer me until I had had those done, so that caused a 2 month delay (well 6 weeks ish) apparently the gyno at our local hospital specialises in infertility so hopefully she'll have some answers, but for the minute I don't want to go on Clomid if theres another option, (but in about 6mt - 1yr I may feel differently).

Apparently i've had this purple die thing done before (i don't know what they call it) the one when they check ur tubes are clear, in my case they used it to check the goings on in the patuirty gland, by all accounts I screamed when the nursed tried to inject it (was only 5/6 so don't remeber) but mum says she was cryin as well cos of it... makes me wonder...."why am I doin this" still, I think it's only since we've been TTC i've realised how hard parents actually have it.

how do u mean 'racing against ur biological clocks'? u sound like u are geting too old ??

OK, the madness starts here: first cramp, hot breasts, obviously I'm pregnant/about to have a period/going out of my head!

It feels a long wait to next Wednesday (think that's when I'm due, but as this is not a normal cycle I can't be sure). Last night I felt a bit sick and had to fight excitement, despite knowing that (a) it was far more likely to be caused by a monster portion of macaroni cheese, eaten too quickly and too late at night, and (b) it is WAY too early for morning sickness!

Help me, people! I'm losing it

anyway, cockenzie - as well as jb, me and jeddah are ttc1. And me and jedds are racing against our biological clocks so it feels really

jb - occasionally I get a blue mess and you can only treat it as an invalid test i.e. you don't know whether it would have shown a line. I think this usually happens to me when I've peed for too long on the stick, or maybe splashed the window or something (sorry to be indelicate, but I'm sure you can take it!)

So that Becki and Shely seem to have left the thread. Hope they're OK. Particularly worried about our Becki.

rudy - how long have u been ttc no2?

totally cockenzie - and I know just how you feel about wanting #2. As I said last night, I really thought I'd be cool with it all but I'm sooo not! For me I think it's partly that I feel so lucky to have a beautiful DS and I don't know if we will be lucky twice. I hate it when people say "oh but you know you can have more because you've had one" .

I shouldnt say that and i am embarrased to say it , but nowadays when i see a pregnant woman or a woman with 3 kids, i get jealous. is that normal?

jb - not sure about this whole line thing on persona (when I used it before I had no idea it was an opk too!) but I have had one strong line every day which I have presumed to mean that the test worked (like a hpt iykwim). Can anyone enlighten us? Or does it need a call to the persona helpline?

Morning all - no BD for me last night Me too tired and DH too p**d Reckon that's our last chance for this month gone so now it's back on the waiting game...I'm CD22/35.

Hope all are well and swimming in babydust ~~~~

cani ask how old u r?

not only is it bloomin hard work, it's also annoyin when u see younger ppl, (who ddin't even try) with about 3 kids around their ankles, (no offense if that is any one on here thou) it's not fair! y can't we all be super fertile!

i'm TTC #1

i honestly thought that once i have my no1 i would be more relaxed for no2 and would be able to wait and take it easy.i was so wrong!! maybe b ecos u get the taste of motherhood and love so much that u want to carry on even more !!

which ones of you ladies are ttc their no1? not no2 but no1 atm?

just had a look on ebay, and there is only one persona on sale for £41.so will have to wait.

good morning ladies.didnt manage to bd last nite or this morning (seems like the more i chase the less i get sob sob) but dp promised to pamper me tonite.also i think its getting close to ov time (cervix position) but havent done a stick yet.

i'm down for the natural idea, would like a home birth but DH won't let me, so guess it will be just gas and air, or at least that's the plan, we'll see when we get there, thou the women in my family are klnow for having quick labours... hopfully I'll follow suite.

nite nite.

it makes sense.iknow that i am brooding becos the nursing side is over now and i see dd growing up all day and i now want a boy!! i didnt enjoy my c-section but would go thru it again

night night

I'm off too - DH has just arrived home and we may even try for some more BD if I can stay awake
