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

Hi,
I wonder if I can join quietly,(won't be posting very often ),I am starting to chart my AF's and all the yucky in between bits as we are planning to start TTC in a couple of months and currently have no clue what my cycle is. Good luck to everyone and heres hoping for some BFP's soon ladies.

Hulababy · 08/03/2005 11:10

Good luck with the results Bev.

Good luck with test CP3 - awaiting results with you

Fresco - I am around same stage as you. OV time will be around this weekend/early next week.

Toothache - nice to hear that you are interested and care enough to keep up to date

Hulababy · 08/03/2005 11:08

piffle - are you still coming to the Sheffield Spa Day???? If so, can you check out the booked thread (in Meet Up forums). I have booked and now need cheques.

munnzieb · 08/03/2005 11:06

Toothache · 08/03/2005 10:43

Blatant thread crashing here.....

Good luck all those about to test!

CP3 hurry up!!!

I'm not ttc, but I always follow this thread with fingers crossed.

Diege · 08/03/2005 10:25

Good luck worriedbev and CP3!! Fingers crossed for both of you! Still waiting for AF (not pregnant), and will just be relieved when it appears. At least you will both get some piece of mind!
Expat - A break can sometimes put things in context, so you're more able to cope with things when you return (which I'm sure you will). Will be thinking of you!

Worriedbev · 08/03/2005 10:01

Hi cp3

I know the feeling. I always think I am pregnant, wishful thinking, on day 21 of cycle now. My DH's birthday on 18th March would love to give him the birthday present he wants but doubt it very much.

Bev

cp3 · 08/03/2005 10:00

Good luck bev!!! Piffle im sat here with major belly ache as holding on to my wee . Just off out now to get a test. Catch you all later. It will be a bfn i know. Sorry im negative but its hard to stay posotive all the time.

Worriedbev · 08/03/2005 09:56

Hi everyone

D-day for me as my partner is expecting his sperm test results today. The doctors said they should get them today from the hospital and would chase them up and ring him on his mobile. He will then ring me. Feeling really anxious and dont know what to do with myself. Fearing the worst but having to go on. Been trying for a year, although I am 41 and he is 60 and he had a reversal of vasectomy about 8 years ago but didnt go on to have any more children with his second wife at the time as they split up shortly afterwards. His sperm count then was 22 million, but still fearing the worst after such a long time. Dont know what I am going to do if it is bad.

Bev

piffle · 08/03/2005 09:30

still no af, not going to test for a few more days
feel fine, one thing GP said yesterday was that I may not ovulate on the surgery ovary for a few months due to trauma, if I do no ovulate then periods will be irregular...
No help though, am also considering how unlikely it would be to conceive 3 mths after ectopic that preg which took us 16 mths to create!
Am fine, bloody tired but dd is up sprouting very sore second molars so hard not be knackered really!
Time will tell she says not really being as patient as she sounds
did you test CP?

munnzieb · 08/03/2005 09:24

lol cp3 that's bloody sods law! lol,

well any how, in view of all of us let's spread the baby dust about again as it's getting a bit bear up here!

Hi, I'm new to mumsnet. I have a 2 1/2 year old son & have had 2 miscarriages since TTC another. The first I had a scan at 10 weeks and the baby had not developed, the second I had a scan at 6 weeks where we saw an heartbeat but I had another scan at 9 weeks & the baby had died. i thought I would join the thread for some moral support & tips.

expatinscotland · 07/03/2005 20:24

Am feeling down and going back on the Pill next Sunday. Just tired of the disappointment and we really need to clear out our overdraft before I can afford accupuncture. Just waiting for AF to show up tomorrow, she's always spot on 28 days - bitch. She made my day absolute s* today already w/the heartburn, intestine cramps, lower back aches, nausea, mood swings and screamingly sore boobs. My PMS is now 2 weeks/month and as it's all for n/thing I'm getting fed up w/ this. I am starting a course at uni this Autumn and have a lot of my plate as it is, I don't need this.

This is really starting to get to me . . . again. I am crying too much and I need to focus on what we do have; not what we don't.

Good luck to all you TTCers and hope you get your BFPs soon!

cp3 · 07/03/2005 20:10

Im sat here at the comp with throbbing boobs, i keep getting twinges. Prob from me poking them all the time. God i hate this time of ttcing. I will def test tomorrow, i need peace of mind.

popadopalis · 07/03/2005 16:35

Diege - No! Poor Dh wanted to but I just looked at him like he'd suggested we fry a cat and said I was tired and hormonal and he should be more understanding!! Not that he was pushing it or anything, he simply asked but right now anything he syas or does is enough to get me snarly. Poor boy, he's such a sweetie too!!
