TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

girls if you ahve a mo can u look at rantu's thread of dissapointed, I think she needs a bit of support from us all.

morning girls,

Hester - ooh plain bounty, i've not had one of those for years! lol.

jedds - Our appt are the same yes, mine was put back by 2 weeks due to unfirseen circumstances of something - bloody cheek! it's not like I haven't been waiting long enough! i'll be around CD9 when I ahve to go in (noon as well, talk about a bloomin death wish or something) anyhow, at least the wait hasn't been as long as for some.

Marinda - that's quite a quick appt, about 6 weeks? how old r u if u don't mind me asking? (they must have some sooner apts, as not only did jedds manage to get one, they managed to rearrange mine as I said, so they must have some spares for when the gynos want a long lunch break!

Sparkley - I'd wait until the weekend if I was you, but then again, i'm no good at the waiting game! speaking of which, I have 3 tests in the house (left over from b4 DH was away) someone please take them away from me before next cycle cos I won't be able to resist the temptation! actually I think i'll get DH to hide them in teh attic cos I can't get up there!

Cockenzie - good luck with ur move today hon, (new house new baby and all!)

It's CD21 here - (7/8 DPO - do u take it from the first day of the O showing on persona or the second?) my usual LP is 12 days so i'm reconning on a 26 day month, even thou I was trying to hurry it along before DH came home (not worked at all as hes home tomorrow - YAY! loads a bd! lol, my neighbours are threatenin to knock on the door every hour and ring the phone! bloomin cheek!

Sparkly. I test too early in December and got a BFN. The tested when AF due and got faint positives. Then later on BFPs. Due early September, hopefully (fingers crossed). So you may have tested too early.

Sparkly, EVERYBODY!!! You don't have to feel pregnant to be pregnant. I still don't and drinking a lovely decaf coffee as I write this. Still got wicked AF pains and boobs feel no different than they ever have. I swore I was pregnant last month as I was feeling really sicky and had all the "pregnancy signs". Whoever is pulling the strings is just having fun with us, I'm sure .

Cocenzie, feeding 7.30am, 12.30, 3.30, 7pm (all +/-). He never wakes at night but veeeery, ocassional will give him a quick feed at night if he has a fever and I want to load him up on fluids.

Jeddah, I seem to ovulate day 14+/- (regardless of cycle) so corner my hubby and have my wicked way between day 12-16 to cover all bases. Very tricky as he works nights so have to plan around when the littlin is having his nap - not very romantic is it . I do all the bum in the air thing as well. We throw a few quickies in throughout the rest of the month just to make sure. Have poured over my calendar and done the calculations and we conceived on day 15 this month???, well as sure as I can be i guess.

Can you wait until Sunday???? I cound'nt!!! But I know what you mean about not feeling pregnant and not wanting to test again!!!

CD31 for me and still no AF. Not tested since Sunday but not sure there is much point. Don't feel pregnant at all. My cycles are normally 28-30 days without fail. Should I test at the weekend if nothing or sooner???

Going to try to catch up with everyone on here now!

well was very bad today.went to Iceland and bought pack of 6 jaffa choc cakes and ate them all.i cant believe it! what about all those calories?? i still secretly hope that i am ovulating late.well CD19 here and weird sensations 'cramps' like which i always put down as periods getting ready.i keep on charting temp.

may i ask how old uare kiwicath and do u also bf at night?
well tomoro start at 8.30 and i am really getting tired with that move but almost finished now.

am going to catch up with all of yous

Hester and Jeddah... can I ask if you have considered alternative therapies to help your body? I ask as I can see how desperate you are getting (totally understandable) and when someone is that keen soe of these therapies work well. I know people who got pregnant after these sorts of treatments despite years of trying without them....

Had periods... 1st time in basically 6 months (so am probably the only one on this thread happy to have a visit from AF!)... let's see if I ovulate now !

Jeds - Gynae quack appointment through - WHAT HO and it is Feb 24th. Will ring liiiiike you said to get an earlier one !!! Meant't to ask - how did you DH get swimmers test ? Did he just go to GP ?
Feeling very AF today - Only CD17, but I get the FLO systems at least a week before - what a bitch she is !!!!!
Hester - I agree with Jeds - Careful with the chocolate else your bottom will be shelf-like (and you won't see your tummy when your become pg - YES it will happen- if Arabica can do it on a wim so can you - do you feel wim like ????

Sorry for teasing 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

triceratops - sorry to hear about AF.

((((hester))) - a big chocolate coated hug for you. I don't really know what to say that could cheer you up (useless, aren't I?!) but I just want you to know that I am thinking about you and sending you lots of very positive babythoughts. If I could wish it for you then I really would (and then for me too, of course ). Let's just take it one month at a time and see how we all get on.

Hi girlies jedds here!

been busy last few days did a big presentation in Leeds University today, glad its over!

Kiwicath!!!!!!! you are a star! well done, really chuffed for you! .....please would you mind to tell us when you ov and when you BDed etc etc etc, sorry we need as much 'know how' as we can get!

Fastasleep.....hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly!

Runtus good luck love....thinking of you!

Hester........don't down to chocolate too much love...af not really arrived yet!......and you don't want an arse like a shelf when preggers! really hoping its just a bit of spotting!.....god hester.....us old dolls really need to show these youngs ones that we can do it!
so don't give up on me!

Bella23.....we will all be thinking of you honey, your time will come!

triceratops sorry about af! its all so un fair! {(((((((hugs}))))))))

munz........did I read in a previous post that our appoinments with gynae quacks are on the same day???? how wierd is that!

Thank you all so much for your kind words and best wishes. I feel a bit of a fraud for coming onto TTC at such a late stage and buggering off just as quickly . Here's hoping you guys won't be far behind XXX

Hester sweetie, daft of me to say "don't feel down" but it took us 2 years!!!! TTC before we were blessed with #1. I was on the verge of packing it all in and even made up a whole list of exciting things we could do because we didn't have kids. Fact of the matter was though that I WANTED THEM!!! so we just kept trying. I just kept thinking "you've got to be in, to win". Truck loads of baby dust coming your way XXX.

Cocenzie, like I just mentioned, we tried 2 years before getting preggers with #1 so I got incredibly good at reading my body, mood swings and "feelings" etc. I never actually did any temp charts but knew exactly when I was ovulating. The strangest thing is that even though the last 4 months cycles have been crazy ranging from 33-40 days, I've still ovulated exactly on day 14. I was on the verge of winding down the breastfeeding, convinced it was the reason we weren't conceiving but looks like I can continue for a wee bit longer. XX

So sorry to hear that, triceratops . Hope next month brings better news for you.

I've just eaten a plain chocolate Bounty bar. It helped. Recommend you try it too.

Back to day one for me better luck next month I hope. I will put this one down as practice.

Lol, and I should think so to.. (hmm hmmm grumbles.. bloomin cheek!) he he. Wheres young Jedds today? haven't seen her for a bit, hope all is ok her end.

(ooh mistress.... now theres an idea for DH! lol)

hester, please cheer up - i'm eating chocolate on your behalf - i'm nice like that..

OK Mistress Munnzie [said meekly, with downturned eyes] I'll go and get us some chocolate right this minute. And then I'll get a grip!

Thanks hon.

lol@ rudy.

OK, right now then young hester i'm gonna shout at you for a minute (whilst also waggin my finger) GO AND GET SOME CHOC AND GET ME A HUGE BAR OF DAIRY MILK AS WELL! right that's done, (I'll stop shouting) now whilst your sitting there chomping away, never loose sight that one day you will be a mum, (you've done it once remeber) I know it's really hard hon, but just keep on pluggin away if you can. Have you been to your GP at all? How's DP coming along? I really hope it happens for you soon hon, (just imagion thou, you might well have a little bundle born on next xmas day...... not that that's what i'm aiming for or anything.. but keep ur pecker up hon, Mother nature always has a reason, even if we can't always see it. (she has a bloomin sick sence of humour as well!) anyhow, letcure over, thanks for the choc and get back to work mrs! lol.

group hug everyone ((((((((hugs))))))))))

Kiwicath,
Congrads that was a short stay.. Wishing you all the best for you and your pg..

hester,
sorry af arrived... She is a right wagan is'nt she.. Hope she is treating you ok.. Sending you hugs hon ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

cd 21 of a 29 day cycle (hopfully) fingers crossed that it does'nt go wild again.. No PG symtoms at all (for a change).. Feeling really good about af coming, It maybe because i can't wait to try out persona..

It's just that I used to think, 'When I have a baby...', then it turned to, 'If....' and now it's 'Could a miracle still happen?'. It's very hard to let go, but also very hard to keep going...

Have I cheered you all up yet?

Sitting here feeling a bit bleak. I've been trying soooo long, and at my age.... maybe I should just accept that it's not going to happen for me, and stop putting myself through this. But so, so hard to accept that I'll never be a mother.

Sorry. Obviously very premenstrual. Have no chocolate with me so may need to go buy some NOW.

ooh, lots of testers coming up - good luck to you all! FS - you could always bulk buy tests online from medisave.co.uk - cheaper and no-one will know! Oh, and in case you're wondering, they deliver really quickly!!

Hester sorry to hear about the impending arrival of AF. Don't see what harm a bit of choc damage can do - it is full of iron you know so you could eat on health grounds

(((Bella))) - thinking of you this afternoon.

Thanks for the jokes munnzie - no less than I'd expect!!!

Best of luck Bella, hope it all goes ok for you....thought you might like to know my mate was in the exact position you are in and fell pg within 3 weeks of her D&C!

Good luck testing triceratops, lets make it a double for you and me this week!

Aww Bella best of luck!!

fingers crossed then bella.

Sorry about AF hester, (((((hugs))))) u just go right on and eat all the choc, but let me know first and i'll buy share in cadburys!
