First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 2

Hi everyone!!

Wow what a busy week!! Congratulations Bubbap what amazing news!!

Wll we had an amazing week in Oman, absolutely boiling, sun sea, sex and alcohol what more could a girl ask for!! I will never doubt my DP's hoiliday destination choices again!! I am just looking at where to go next now!!

Hope evryone is ok and we get lots more BP's this month!!

Ooh and summerbird my mum, I agree from what I posted it looks like she is being supportive, but from the way she says it, uts very much about getting the attention back onto herself Can't reallly describe it, she drives me mad, i'm just thankful i'm thousands of miles away!!

Off to do the food shopping now!! Congrats again Bubbap

Congratulations, bubbap! How exciting! And sorry about the flurry of AFs, Michaela, Dawn & Summerbird - June is a great month, with super-communicative Gemini babies!

I'm not a teacher, but I'm getting a real 'back to school' feeling too, probably because of this weather - and the biology "homework"?! My sister and my mum are both teachers; my sister managed not only to time both her babies to arrive on the same day for maximum birthday efficiency, but also in March, so she had to do three days in school to get a full Feb-September maternity leave run. I am in awe of her in many ways...

Aaw never mind michaela , i feel the same this month - Must Try Harder!!
So hopefully all of our hard work will pay off!!

Darn, meand bubapp, sorry babymadness!

Hi all, quick update....

Got AF yesterday (poo!) so now on CD2 with a "must try harder this time" attitude!

people keep asking me if I am pregnant- how annoying.

Where is everyone else? Well done and congrats babymadness !!

hehehe...all this welsh talk makes me homesick...i'm welsh ...from south wales and holidayed at llangennith and rhossili every year...had a caravan there....oo its so lovely....good luck all...i'll let u know on tue i guess!

Hi everyone!!

Hope you're all well!!

Bubbap CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That really is brilliant news!! This thread has been a v lucky one so far, so fingers crossed it keeps on going!!!!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!! Im dreading going back to work after my week off!!

Dawn im sorry about your AF, try and stay positive!!

babymadness good luck for tues, i took my first month of clomid last month and it did make me ovulate so hopefully it will have worked for you too!!

xx

hi girls and welcome back crunchy oo wow you sound like you had a fab holiday, we were staying right by rhossili beach in Llangennith, did you surf? and i am loving the sound of the hot tub!!

babymadness i am in that dilemma at the moment, i really do not like my job and me and DH want to move back to his home town in Birmingham, i am in two minds over whether to take the risk and just have 6 months unpaid maternity leave or whether to wait until i get PG and then apply for new jobs after the paid mat leave - but how long is that going to take? decisions decisions!

dawn booo about AF turning up but at least you know you are back on track, it looks like we have almost synched too so we can look out for signs together.

bubba i am going to be soooo lookng out for spotting over the next week!! it is fabulous news and welsh babies sound so cute, i remember when my cousins son said Pontypridd for the first time i nearly spat my brekkie out laughing at the cute welshness!!!

eth oo am excited for you getting your pussy cat. Our two cats were from the cats protection and the lady who came to interview us was very efficious but lovely, we felt like we were being interviewed to adopt a child! our boys really make the house come alive though, we have had them for a year now. i will find some cute pics to put on here.

big waves to everyone else

oh fingers crossed! I'll be thinking about you xx

I have just finished my NQT year and felt the same about TTC but have been on depo provera for 6 years and was told it can take upto 2years to conceive after stopping so figured I may as well! I stopped it in June and still no AF so figure the statistics are right. At least I will have worked there about 3years then though I guess

hi everyone....you all seem so inviting...

crunchy and eth...well hello!! its so lovely to know i'm not the only one dreading the start of term...dont get me wrong i love teaching but with all this baby madness the summer has just flown by.....i live in north london but used to be in birmingham at Lyndon school in solihull (3 years ago)Been teaching at a school in Harrow for last 3 years but time for a new challenge..didnt want to move due to the fact that i may get preggers and maternity pay would really suffer but a year down the line i gave up on that thought....been trying now for 5 years in total and really getting quite desperate!! first cycle of clomid and now on 2ww...blood tomorrow so i'll know on tue if ovulated...fingers v v v v crossed!

so nice to chat....

Sorry - I am just catching up on the posts properly and I have realised I am a complete idiot!! Babymadness - welcome, and sorry for confusing you with Bubbap! Where is your new school? V exciting!! I am a primary teacher, head of KS1 this year which is a bit scary. I have got a year 2 class this year.
Summerbird glad the festival was good and BIL excelled himself!! And glad DH is keen to give the preseed a go - not sure mine would be.... He is a bit of a wimp with things like that!!

Dawn really sorry AF turned up. At least you can have a nice glass of wine and BD fest next month. I know this isn't what you want, but as me and Saz were saying - how cute would a June baby be?!

Saz I am always seeing cute babies on trains and wondering if I could steal them....Not really of course. Before you come round and arrest me... There were some baby girl twins on my train back today, and they were soooo cute. Their mum was reading them the Observer which I thought might be pushing it a bit as they only looked about 10 months!!

Hello everyone - wow, Bubbap congrats!!! That is sooooo exciting!!

Crunchy your hol sounds gorgeous, esp sipping champagne in the hot tub every night, lovely!!

I am back from a weekend in Huddersfield. My best friend's mum died a week ago and I can't be at the funeral tomorrow (school mean) so I went up this weekend to see her. Stopped at my parents' which was lovely, but all a bit depressing in all...

Got home to an empty house as DH is doing a 10k run at Wembley which starts at 6pm....

On the exciting side, we are getting a cat on Tues!! The lady from the rescue centre came round on Friday night and we are rescuing a 3 year old black male, he looks gorgeous!! Will post photos!

How has everyone's weekend been? I am back at school properly tomorrow (inset); children on Tues, yuck.

Bubbap I bet you will have other things on your mind at the start of this term!!

bubap soooo happy for you!!!

hey babymadness I teach secondary English (although my typing is atrocious cos I'm always on my iPhone and nver proof read!it's got an american spell check thing too!)

I don't want to go bck now. Ikea had sold out of my boxes and i'm not prepared now !! I'll be in panic mode tomorrow! Where about do you live then? eth teaches too and was back last Tuesday if I remember correctly. I teach in walsall LEA.

I don't know bout you but I find it really difficult to be non commital when people ask when were having children (I think cos I'm young and fairly newly wed people presume!). My form group asked me not to have kids cos they don't want me to leave them like everyone else did makes me feel guilty! Xx

Hi All,

Welcome to the new people and a massive Congratulations to Bubbap!! Just to put your mind at rest, apparently it's common to have a normal period even when you're pregnant the first month. It's amazing actually how common these things are. And since you had that, I would imagine you may be prone to spotting aswell from the sound of it, which again is very common! You only need to worry if you have bad cramping with it. But remember that light cramping and twinges are normal as things move about.

So, looks like the AF witch got me as I've had a bit of browny CM this morning. I got that with the implantation bleed last time but it doesn't feel like it did. It feels like AF this time.

A bit gutted really as they say your most fertile the month after an MC so I was keeping everything crossed...

But to cheer myself up I ordered a digital basal thermometer off of Ebay this morning, so I'm with you this month Eth!!

I guess I just need to wait until CD1 now as I often get a few days of brown CM before AF completely kicks in.

Anyway, I hope that everyone is Ok and fab that we've got another graduate!! How are you doing Flirty and Hever?

xx

hi again....congratulations Bubapp...it must feel amazing....wow.....i really cant imagine it.

thanks all for your lovely comments...we'll see ey?

Crunchynutter...i take it you're a teacher...tell me more! i'm a head of performing arts in secondary school...start a new school on tue....very nervous and really not in any state to think about new job at mo as only have babies on the brain!!!

wow! Congratulations Bubapp!! I really hope it goes well a the doctors.

I keep missing loads! As I have said before though, you pregnant ladies can't leave til we're all there with you-even if the little ones are 2!

Ok so holiday was fab! I'm short we walked the brecon beacons, devils bridge, élan valley rhossili bay and spent everynight in the hot tub sipping champagne

Since we have been back I have had endless amounts of washing dog mud out of clothes and then spent yesterday at a wedding!

I mentally preparing for work now though, have spent £40 on stickers and charts And am off to ikea now to by class sized plastic boxes! I will be an emotional wreck after 2weeks back though regardless of how prepared I try to be!!

wow bubba that is amazing! maybe you have just had some implantation bleed?? do keep us posted at what the doc says - that is 3 BFP's in a couple of weeks!! how exciting.

welcome babymadness sorry i cant help with your question but keep us posted on what happens on tuesday, we are a supportive bunch and the girls on here are fab.

off to have a blissful day of making cards, hopefully DH keeps out of my way! we sat out in the garden last night with a bbq and our chiminea burning, it felt like the first day of summer!!

hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Hello ladies

First of all welcome to the girls who are new to this thread: michaela, linwin and babymadness.

Some of you may have seen my post yesterday asking what could have caused spotting a few days after the end of my AF...
Well, I decided to try the free digital home PG test this morning... and got a BFP!!!

It hasn't sunk in at all yet - my AF arrived as normal a week ago, so I accepted that I wasn't PG, but I tested this morning and it showed that I'm PG! (haven't BD'd yet this cycle)

So I'm off to the GP tomorrow to check that everything is OK. I'll keep you posted.

bubba xxx

Morning ladies. Hope your all having a good weekend.

Welcome baby this is a lovely thread and although i cant help with your question i have my fingers crossed for you for Tuesday

Well, TTC update! I still havent got a Peak reading on the CB Fertility Monitor and this is now my 9th day of getting a High reading. Still no + OPK's or CM but still yoghurt potting every other day. (Boys will be here in a bit, we've decided to do a sunday lunch insem!!!) Will i ever Ovulate this month ARGHHHHHHH rant over

How's ever ones weekend going?

x

Hi everyone,

hope you're all having a great weekend!!

Welcome baby , i have spoken to you on the other thread , this thread is the best one though of course!!

summerbird boooo on your nasty AF but congratulations on your great positive attitude!! I am defo going to follow you on that one, and it would be fab to have a June baby!!

Michaela i am keeping my fingers crossed for you that your AF doesn't arrive!!

Well my week off is nearly over and back to work on Monday!! I have loved having some time off, but spose i have to go back to work at some point!!

I received my free clearblue pg test last week, and then yesterday i received another one!! So i am thinking this could be the "lucky" pg test

Enjoy the rest of your weekend ladies!!

xx

hi ladies...can i join in? i have been ttc for years now...BOOO! its my first cycle of clomid and i'm on day 19 of the cycle. when i went for scan on day 14 they said i had three big folicls on one ovary and one on the other...all very exciting except...i thought i'd ovulted two days previous due to pain and stretchy mucus...(SORRY>>>TMI!)Is it possible that i could have ovulated but the folicle that burst wasnt there anymore? do all the folicles go away when one bursts? i'm confused and anxious! i'll know on tue but i'm starting to lose the plot!!ANY ADVICE???

just got back from Birmingham, the festival was fab and we wish we stayed for the full weekend, my BIL was great and got all the kids dancing at the front of the stage. me and DH were sat in ths sunshine thinking what a cool uncle he would be and how much the kids were enjoying the festival, we have decided to make it an annual thing (rather than muddy glastonbury) as it was really kiddie friendly and chilled out.

I got my free clearblue test today and so am hoping to use it next month, DH was asking when we can start BDing with the preseed, blimey let me get AF out the way first!!

bubba i really dont know what thats all about, it could be new implantation spotting or remains of AF? it is a bit soon to test though.

Happy weekend everyone!

Hi everyone waves i'm, back from my holiday. Had a lovely time . Just about to settle down with a cuppa and read what i have missed on here - hope everyone is well and the babydust is working its magic. As i said before i really don't think we timed things right for it to happen for us this month but we'll see. AF due in around a weeks time ish - Friday woud put me on a 28 day cycle so we'll see. I have been weeing a lot and i am absloutely knackered but i think thats more to do with camping than anything else. I'm just quite excited to actually be on my first 2ww regardless of the outcome at the moment - perhaps i'm a bit odd like that though!! Right i'm off to see what all you ladies have been up to...take care xx

Hi girls!

Hope you're all well.

I need some advice please... My AF arrived just over a week ago, it was normal and finished about 3 days ago.

But today I've noticed some spotting and I'm wondering what it could be...Any thoughts?

thanks! xxx
