Thought I'd start another thread as the last one was SO successful but is starting to take a while to load and I keep losing my place in it!

A quick update on my stats - on CD39 of third cycle since getting AF back after DS was born in April 2004 (10.5 months old).

Have endometriosis and PCOS so have decided to let nature take its course over the next few months and if I fall pg naturally, then so be it. If I don't, then we'll try clomid again (worked first time for us with DS).

Am still breastfeeding, so have erratic cycles - they were always long (so far have had AF visit twice and had 50 and 42-day cycles).

No idea when I ov - may try OPK's next month if no success this month (and don't think I am pg atm).

Think that's it!

Lots and lots of babydust to all the ttcers and lots and lots of babyglue to those who've just had BFPs (and more congrats!). xxx

Well, pop and fresco and diege, I'm right there w/you all. NO AF yet and BFN. Now I'm 2 days late so I know it's just a matter of time but I REALLY want to just move on. I'm NEVER late, although I've had no O since coming off the Pill in October. This is totally pissing me off. If AF doesn't show up in a fortnight I'm going in to see if I can score some Provera and just be done w/it all.

cp3 · 10/03/2005 15:43

i dont know what to say. I really feel for all of you. I know EXACTLY how you all feel. Honestly i do. Ive been lucky but if its happened for me and it can happen for you too. I dont know if im more relieved to be preganant cos i so want the baby or because i wont have the stress of ttcing anymore.

fresco · 10/03/2005 15:17

what makes it more difficult for us to get pg? is it because we try to plan it so well or mayb we try to hard? what do you think?

fresco · 10/03/2005 14:42

worriedbev-i wish i had a magic wand that i could just shake andmake you smile again , cheer uyou up again.i know how frustrating it is and how much you want to give up. mayb you should giv it a rest and give yourself a chance to think about something else.and if you want to try again then with a different spirit/state of mind? wish i could giv you a cuddle and make you better hen. Have a big bar of cadbury and a piss up tonite!!!

popadopalis · 10/03/2005 14:32

Worriedbev - I know how you feel. I feel like Sh*t today too. I'm sitting in my dressing gown eating choclate and staying away from the world. I hope you feel better soon. I feel like giving up the TTC for a while but something inside me just won't let me. You'll feel better in a couple of days once you can start trying again. Your not alone!

Worriedbev · 10/03/2005 14:25

Hi everyone

Feeling really down today, I just want to sit and cry
and would if I wasnt at work. Just went to the toilet
and wiped myself and noticed some brown discharge
there. Only on day 23 of cycle. My periods are
irregular though and this one could be early because
the last one was so late. I really hoped I had been
pregnant for DH's birthday on 22nd March. I have felt
slightly queasy every day for last 4 days and an empty
feeling in my stomach as though I should eat something
which cures the queasiness for a while. I am so down I
dont feel like doing any temperature charting or
anything next month. I want to give up having a baby
now, as much as it hurts it puts so much stress on me.
My DH and I had a huge row last night over money. He
was awaiting some money from a job and although we are
not short of money I was asking him every day if he had
the money and he shouted at me last night "no now leave
me alone". I said fine "I want to go away and get away
from everyone". Things still stressed this morning and
he started talking about whether I still wanted to be
with him. Of course I do but things have been bad for
us lately. I am on antidepressents anyway and worry is
my middle name. I could just crawl into a hole and
stay away from everyone right now.

Bev

popadopalis · 10/03/2005 13:56

Sorry for keeping you waiting girls. Did test this morning and it was BFN. Dh was cheering me up and took me shopping and to Burger King so I could stuff my face with comfort food. He was so lovely and sweet to me, apart from one time when he told me I should try not to say f*king as much as I was!!! I told him in no uncertain terms that I was having a fking bad morning and I would fking swear if I f*king felt like it!!! Poor Dh, he was very good to me though.

I feel really pissed off with my body though. I NEVER get these symptoms usually when Af comes. I get tender boobs and feel warmer than usual but I don't have throbbing boobs and hot flushes and what's with me needing to pee all the time? Bloody, f**king body! I'm really sorry for swearing and being so moody.

I haven't come on yet though and I do feel a little sick but then I have just stuffed my face with burgers, chips and skittles!! Aaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Toothache · 10/03/2005 12:12

Popadopolis - Result yet????

Diege · 10/03/2005 11:43

Piffle - in the same boat with sudden change to long cycle (from 28 to 35 days) really throws you, but normal apparently. Makes the whole waiting process far more drawn out though, and doesn't help with the 'am I ,aren't' I mind games! On CD 33 now, so not much longer before AF!

cp3 · 10/03/2005 11:39

I am bad Fresco and not had my Ds done yet. Im scared to do him if honest. He has alot of allergies. Plus now im pregnant and im not immune to measles it would be dangerous (highly unlikeley it would affect me, but it could as its a live virus). Both my girls reacted badly with febrile convulsions. Hope your little one is ok with it.

fresco · 10/03/2005 11:27

mine is always like yours cp3.bright red.
dd had her MMR yesterday morning and she is coping so well. so proud of my little bundle of joy!! hehe.
CD13

fresco · 10/03/2005 10:58

cp3, i think i know what you are talking about.i think if i can get pg now, a load would be off my shoulders and i would feel complete in the sense where i would have a real family now giving a sister or brother to dd.and dp would be off the hook for a couple of years.that must be such a tremendous feeling of freedom, stressfree.I am envying you!!! hehe

fresco · 10/03/2005 10:43

pop when are you testing?
munn, sorry for the old bitch.hope next month is yours hen.xx

cp3 · 10/03/2005 09:59

cp3 · 10/03/2005 09:58

Oh Dear Munzie, so sorry. Does it usually start like that. Mine is always the opposite, bright red and loads of it. Usually comes middle of the night aswell

hunkermunker · 10/03/2005 09:50

Sorry to hear of AF's visit, Munnzieb Hope she's soon gone.

Thread crashing again.... not that I'm broody!!

JM - Last time I saw a post like yours on a ttc thread it was from Smellymelly.... and guess what?? She now has twins!

Pop - Good luck testing today, I'll be keeping an eye out for your result.

Good luck to everyone else too.

cp3 · 10/03/2005 08:32

Pop loads of baby dust coming your way. My boobs are throbbing too i hope its a good sign for you too. They feel heavy when i take my bra off and are getting tender to touch already. Hope your throbbing means the same as my throbbing. Good luck honey, i cant wait for you to test, i so hope its a posotive reuslt otherwise we have to put up with you drooling again

I am sleeping so heavily at the moment and i already feel sicky, i think its gonna be a bad one for me on the sickness department. I have suffered with it badly before especially with the girl. im dreading that part.

Cadmum · 09/03/2005 21:55

Oh popa! I hope you are pg! That would be nearly a world record for finding mn's ttc and then being straight off to the ante-natal boards!

popadopalis · 09/03/2005 21:43

Right girls. I'm a little bit excited cos my boobs are throbbing!!! How sad am I?!! I think I may test tomorrow morning because I feel different but I can't explain why. Hopefully it's not all in my mind. Oh now I'm scared that it is all in my mind. No I'm going to be positive. I'll wait til Dh comes home and tell him we're testing in the morning. Oh I hope I'm pg. Wish me babies girls!!

munnzieb · 09/03/2005 19:54

popadopalis · 09/03/2005 18:26

Wow, I can't believe I lasted all this time without MN!!! Finally got home and straight on comp, I haven't even eaten or anything!!

Well no sign of Af yet but my cycles are all wierd anyway so could be coming. I'm becoming slightly more cautiously optimistic!! Could be, couldn't I? Still don't want to test until weekend. Keep the dream alive as long as possible!!

Cp3 - so happy for you!!! Hope you have a fab pg. Keep me posted about everything that happens!!

cp3 · 09/03/2005 17:44
