Thought I'd start a new thread for those of us who are out for May. Love to see some of my old friends here as well as maybe some new ones

Hi All,

Loads of posts since I was last here. Big hello to new posters.
Sorry to all who've been caught by AF or had m/c.
Not much happening here. Not sure when I'll O'v but definitely looking out for EWCM for the first time.
Always and when hearing about nosey friends/family/colleagues. Mind your own bleedin' business I reckon. Have lost count of the number of randoms asking when I'll be providing DS with a sibling!! Nosey, nosey, nosey people. (Can you tell that this really annoys me??)

Positive fingers tightly crossed for all.

dinkyboysmum · 16/09/2008 21:16

well, think it's about cd12 for me toady. nothing on the opk yet. got a letetr thru from gp saying i needed smear test . i've booked one in for friday (cd15), will this be OK? honest advice please. am looking for an excuse NOT to go...but knwo i should really. i think it'll be ok on cd15 as i wont have O'd by then. i'm 26 & last one was 3 years ago.

sammysam · 16/09/2008 21:01

think I may be out for this month-had a very small amount of brown cm earlier (can't think if that is normal for me or not?) but now all my 'symptoms' feel much more like af. At least this should mean that my cycle is on the shorter side this month-but i think it will still rule me out of a june baby completely

Feel very depressed indeed. Think i need to avoid thinking about it completely next month-as normally i'm quite laid back and this ttc business is really starting to stress me out that woul'd mean not even coming anywhere near mn though as i couldn't trust myself just having a sneaky peek

Think i might buy a huge bar of chocolate for day 1 of AF and then try and be as positive as i can....

Twoplease-i know the feeling-i have 2 particulary nosey friends who make it their business to ask every time they see me-it makes me and all at the same time. Maybe i should avoid them this month as well!!!

twoplease · 16/09/2008 19:45

Evening all,

just popping on for a bit of virtual moral support before I go out with friends who all have two kiddies and are expecting to tell them anyday that i am pregnant! At least it will be obvious as i can have a drink as still have AF!

I agree that OV and preg signs should be obvious - esp OV for me, got no idea!!!!

Hi all just a quickie

Have has lots of EWCM over the weekend and OV pains yesterday (CD18) so when DP got back from his trip away yesterday morning I naturally jumped his bones. LOL!

Sorry to see that the wicked witch has got so many over the weekend, but still on for June bambinos

I'm with you all on the obvious signs of pregnancy, and if there was a obv sign for Ovulation and Pregnancy, well how much easier would life be.

Could be Green for Ov and Blue after conception LOL!

Sorry if ive missed anything important, I will catch up later. Hugs to you all, just going to stop my thai curry from burning, as DP is catching up on some sleep he he he

littlemissmischief · 16/09/2008 17:56

JLo2 - No you didnt offend me I know im a complete stress head it is one of my many downfalls, I wish I could be diffent all calm and relaxed but its not in my nature!

LovelyMonster - was going to join you with putting the heating on till DP come home and said he was boiling so now been stood in the kitchen warmimg up!

Lillypie - Totally agree with this ttc marlarky taking over your life- its so silly but you cant help it can you! x

wzmo · 16/09/2008 17:55

thanks for asking littlemissmiscief, i have a beautiful 13 1/2 month old and we always wanted 2 really close and with number 1 it happened right away and now this time we have been trying for about 6-7 months, but i was breastfeeding so i was not getting AF but still thought it might happen, so now that i have my AF i feel even more upset cause at least before i could tell myself that i was not on a cycle yet. UGGGHH well anyway. Hope all is well with you. thanks for letting me vent!

LovelyMonster · 16/09/2008 17:23

he he. its a good idea thou!! Man its cold today. am considering putting the heating on

JLo2 · 16/09/2008 17:03

Hope I didn't offend you littlemiss . Just trying to send you some of my laid back vibes. My DH thinks I can get quite stressy but even he admits I'm far more laid back than I used to be. I think it comes from having 3 DS's. You just kind of have to be to survive

I use my DH as a hot water bottle all the time, although I get complaints if I put my feet on his buttocks

sammysam · 16/09/2008 15:12

Ps was only talking yesterday to a friend about how stupid it is that af and pregnacy symptoms are so similar-there should be some very blatent difference to save all the am i/aren't i worrying-blue feet is an option i'd be happy with

sammysam · 16/09/2008 15:09

I'm so sorry about your MC sans

I know exactly how you feel WZMO-i'm feeling very much the same. Sister in law going into hospital tomorrow to be induced-have found the last 9 months hard-think it'll not be much better with a gorgeous little baby around

Good luck lillypie!

Due on fri/sat so will have to wait til early next week to test really (as cycle can be longer)-just really hoping this month!

Am still feeling very tired, sick, grumpy, spotty-but this could just as easily be AF so trying not to get my hopes up too much-it is so hard though I'm feeling slightly crampy as well so think it looks bad sorry for the ramble!

Good luck to everyone x

lillypie · 16/09/2008 14:28

Oh wzmo I'm so sorry that you are feeling upset.It's very hard not to let this TTC stuff take over your life.

Feel free to rant on this thread any time,we all understand

LovelyMonster · 16/09/2008 14:26

Hi all! Horrific left sided AF pains last night. Painkillers did nothing. Ended up snuggling close to DH using his buttocks as a heatpack!!! He he. Anyone else do this??

MAMA - I remember V!!!!! I loved it!

WZMO - I know! I see PG women everywhere. it bites!

Not may BFP's so far this month. Come on ladies its time to get up the duff! Im counting on you all to bring on a lucky streak to the group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good vibes, good vibes!!!

littlemissmischief · 16/09/2008 14:22

Sorry JLo2 didnt mean to wear you out with my stressing, Im a normally worried, sressy person and once I get something in my head i cant get it out of my head until its sorted so as a combination when ttc is not great, I dont mean to go on but I havent told anyone we are trying ttc and although DP is really good he doesnt understand it all so I rely on you lot really! Would love someone to teach me some relaxing breathing techniques or anything really that might chill me out!

Wzmo - dont worry about venting thats what we are all here for and I know exactly how you feel, whats happening with you?

Lillypie - everything crossed for you hun x

MamaMia - Havent seen that film but sounds like a good idea, no probs for the new list, sorry if everyones stats arent right

wzmo · 16/09/2008 14:02

oh sometimes this is just soo frustrating i wish i could just get a BFP!!!!!! i know everyone here feels that way so sorry for venting. i am just feeling a bit upset by it all.

lillypie · 16/09/2008 13:50

Hi everyone,got back from a lovely holiday in France last night.

The list says that I'm CD25 but I'm actually CD27

According to Fertility Friend I should test tomorrow.

Wish me luck,and the same to all of you who are due to test

JLo2 · 16/09/2008 13:23

littlemissmischief - I think you need to do some relaxing deep breathing, you're wearing me out with the worrying! Hope you're okay. I know it's hard, but I really do think that more relaxed you are about it the more likely it will happen

OP posts:
JLo2 · 16/09/2008 13:19

I like the idea of your feet turning blue At least you could put socks on until you were ready to tell everyone
I'm not holding out much hope for this month as my DH has been stressed out with work and away quite a bit so not a lot of action But as VJ77 says it only takes once so you never know
I'm going to make sure I stay very busy to keep myself away from the tests. If AF hasn't arrived by 27th/28th I'll probably test then. Might even try and hang on until 1st Oct (who am I kidding, I haven't got a hope )
There are a lot of people on the list who must be very close to the end of their cycle. Good luck everyone I have my fingers crossed for you all

With you on the 'wishing there was an obvious sign of pregnancy' lmm.

Reminds me of 'V' tho'- does anyone remember that prog from years ago? - when the lass was pg with alien babies and she got a dark ring on the skin round her neck, and when it was all the way round and joined up it was time to give birth!!!

Not saying I would want that like! But a sign/symptom that was unmistakeable and common to everyone would be good.

Thanks for new list btw.

Morning Ladies
Sorry you got a cold VickyJane, my littleman has one too poor little thing! Hope you feel better soon hun x

Not really sure where I am at the moment, not sure if ive ovulated yet or am on my 2ww/4ww wait- I was saying to DP last night, why cant mother nature just let something really obvious happen when your pg like your feet turn blue or something and then we would all find this so much easier
Will do my Ovulation test this afternoon, although ive lost a bit of faith in them! Just hope I know what is going on I go on holiday in October!

Hows everyone else doing? x
Gonna update the list now x

VickyJane77 · 16/09/2008 09:48

Hi ladies,
I feel like crap today, I'm full of a stinking cold, so DH won't to any BDing with me...I can't think why . Ovulation was a few days ago so heres hoping the little bit of BDing we did do worked! It only takes the once. So now I'm on the long 2 week wait. Hope no one else gets my crappy cold xx

VillageMum · 16/09/2008 09:22

Don't worry about TMI, DawnAS! Answering your question about temperature rise a couple of posts back: as far as I know, temp rise only happens once ovulation has taken place - once you see the rise, it's already happened! So plenty of EWCM plus no temp rise yet probably means that you're on the point of ovulating and this is the absolute best time to ttc. Good luck!!

littlemissmischief · 15/09/2008 22:08

Forgot to add - Sorry to hear about your m/c Dawn x

Twoplease - yeah mine were Ebay cheapies too so maybe that was the problem, dont think I can stretch to posh ones tho.I know what you mean about smears, I have a tilted womb and it always takes at 3 goes with the large speculum to get it right - Why cant they make a new better way to do this sort of thing! x
