Anyone Planning To TTC From October

Hi, I had an ectopic in May and am coming up to the end of my 3 month wait following methotrexate treatment. Need to wait for blood results in September but hope to start TTC from October. Feel really positive about the future and want to start looking forward. Anyone want to pass the time with me?

Hi everyone, been a bit quiet on here the last few weeks! Dawn, did your AF arrive properly? I was keeping my fingers crossed for you. Not too long until your hosp app now. I'm officially on the 2ww, well think I am.. but my cycle is so all over the place, that I'm not quite sure if I've ov'd or not! I've been saying all year, that when it came to ttc, I wouldn't stress.. yet I've become the queen of obsessing the last 2 weeks! I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work mon to take my mind of it! VKFAB and Suzibhoy are you still around? x

Had some good news today (cannpt actually believe I'm so pleased!) I think AF's on it's way, had a watery blood smear today, more than the other day so definately think things are happening at last! Olivo, how are you feeling? hope your new pregnancy is going well x

littlewifey · 24/12/2008 23:20

Aww, congratulations Olivo, that's brilliant news. I am BDing for England as we speak... well not exactly right now as we speak but you know what I mean Fingers crossed for a christmas conception for me!! Hope your appointment brings you some answers Dawn xx

olivo · 24/12/2008 18:19

hi, littlewifey and dawn, hope those AFs stay away this month.

i hope you have a fab christmas

dawn37 · 24/12/2008 12:58

Happy xmas everyone, unfortunately my appointment at the hospital was cancelled until 21st Jan! still no AF but yesterday & today my urine smells really weird (sorry TMI!) and as I've wiped just now there is a minute trace of blood, I mean really hardly anything so dont know whats going on there. Anyone got any good news yet?

littlewifey · 24/12/2008 09:02

littlewifey · 10/12/2008 18:42

Well ladies AF got me this month :-( Fingers crossed for a christmas conception!! Anyone got good news? xxx

VillageMum · 06/12/2008 15:15

Olivo, here's my hand! I'm pretty sure I did ov on the night of Dec 4th - had ov pains and could swear that I felt the moment when it happened; they had tapered off again by the following morning... I hope the next 2 weeks go well for you!!

spats, hello and welcome back, good luck with AF tomorrow!

spats · 06/12/2008 14:51

not been on for a while due to broken laptop- anyone due AF in next few days? i am due tom (ish) so am awaiting her arrival with trepidation!! x

olivo · 05/12/2008 20:08

VM, i'm fairly convinced i ov-ed this morning so i'll need you to hold my hand for the next week or two. let's hope this month is our month!

VillageMum · 05/12/2008 18:55

Hi olivo! I think I ov'd last night though don't have enough high temps to prove it yet... so I guess the 2WW is starting round about now! Let me know how your are doing if you'd like some company!

olivo · 04/12/2008 18:07

me too, villagemum, so we can share the 2ww!!
good luck!

bluesatinsash · 04/12/2008 11:27

VM! Sending you lots and lots of baby dust xx

VillageMum · 04/12/2008 09:53

Hello everyone!

blue, hope your chest infection goes and that you feel better soon!

olivo, I've just stepped through the fertility window, so to speak - positive OPK this morning so playschool is on!

Hope you all have a good day today and a calm rest of the week!

olivo · 03/12/2008 10:06

lol at all the window talk! I think i'm mid cycle too so also peeing on sticks and bding when possible.still havent shaken off my cold but it's amazing what you manage to do when you're determined!!

thegreatescape · 02/12/2008 18:50

Hi all! No joy yet for me. Last period was 8 days late so weeing on sticks like nobodies business but kept getting the frustrating one blue line.

I've just started using the ovulation sticks with smiley face (should it be smiley face? Or humping bunnies?) By my calculations should have ovulated today but no smiley face in sight.

I would throw that fertility window open if it wasn't so damn cold outside!!

bluesatinsash · 02/12/2008 16:05

Hi Ladies,

I'm still here, (and still pregnant, taking things one day at a time, I'm 5+3 today!) We were away all weekend, I was full of cold which unfortunately became a chest infection so was off work yesterday coughing for Scotland and am now on antibiotics which Doctor assures me are OK to take during pg - they bloody better be!

I've taken a deep breath and joined the Aug 09 ante-natal thread. I really need that extra support and hand holding during the early weeks and you would be amazed at how many of us have had mc this year...

Dawn - great news that you have an appointment - hope they give you all the answers.

VillageMum - 'fertility window' always makes me think of playschool's "what window are we going through today? - the round, arch, square - NO the fertility window thanks very much!

Hi bubble and Olivo - I'm keeping up to date with you guys on the trying for Aug thread x

VillageMum · 02/12/2008 09:30

Hi olivo, well we're ttc and are about to enter the 'fertile window' (always feel like a window cleaner when I think this!!) How are you? x

olivo · 01/12/2008 18:37

hello. just popped in to see how you folks are doing.
villagemum, how are you getting on?

bubblebell1 · 01/12/2008 17:40

oops looks like you already knew that sorry ive not heard from her since xx

bubblebell1 · 01/12/2008 17:39

dawn im glad you are finally on track to get some answers... bluesatin got a bfp this month... she was on the august thread im so pleased for her

dawn37 · 01/12/2008 16:33

since this post, I have spoken to the hospital direct & now have an appointment on the 15th Dec in the fertility clinic...Heres hoping they can sort me out! I feel so much more positive now

dawn37 · 01/12/2008 14:21

Have been to my GP today, he has referred me back to Gynae, he seemed confussed on what I was saying to him about not having a period & he said fertility drugs can cause ectopics, I did explain that my 12 year old daughter was a result of clomid! Anyway, I found him pleasant but not very helpful, so now I will be just waiting for an appointment at the hospital...whenever that will be! Hows everyone else doing? anybody heard how bluesatinsash is getting on? hope all is turning out well for her

VillageMum · 26/11/2008 13:13

Oh dawn, sorry you're low... try not to read too much into it - it's just a coincidence. Your life is your own and will run its own course - you will get pg again and have your own baby. What she does doesn't matter! Sending you a ((hug)).

dawn37 · 26/11/2008 09:12

well I'm feeling very low at moment, just found out about a woman whom my husband was seeing when he 1st met me is pregnant, she messed him about loads, then she got married 8 months before me so it looked like we were copying, & I've just realised as I was losing my baby, she must've found out she was pregnant so I can't help but feel she's got my baby, I thought I was over this but because its her it has really put me down in the dumps
