Hi can I join too?

I had a MC in August and have had two proper periods since so now TTC#2 (have 1 DS, 29 months).

My cycle is normally quite short @ 27 days so am starting to use my OPK's tomorrow.

LMP was 25th Oct so if I get a BPF, EDD would be 1st August!

BTW up here in Scotland, the school year intake is March - Feb so everyone wants a March-October baby!

Ilovebeingamummy · 01/11/2008 23:07

Hi I'm going to join too please! Cycle 3 of TTC no.3. DD 3.5, ds 21mths. Had CP 1st month of trying, followed by 34 day cycle so don;t know what is going on. hopefully you ladies will bring me luck! xx

I am not only trying for an August baby, I also was an August baby. It wasn't too bad being one of the youngest - I got a bit of stick at school when Maggie the milk snatcher took away the milk but the three youngest in each class still got it for a few extra months and it was a pain having to lie to get into all my friends' 18th birthday celebrations, but other than that no problems at all. And I only had to go to school on my birthday once (when I lived abroad). I know some people worry that younger children don't do so well at school, but I made it all the way to university. I think it helped that my clever mum wrote me computer games to practice for exams - luckily you can buy these things off the shelf now.

Also means you won't have to pay nursery fees for so long, as someone pointed out on another thread.

Wishing - have responded on another thread but thinking of you.

Sprinkling lots of babydust for BFPs this cycle.

olivo · 01/11/2008 15:45

fingers really crossed for you, WIshing. I don't want to get your hopes up but I had this with dd, brown then red when wiping, and was implantation bleed. i really hope this is the same for yuo. good luck.

Wishing · 01/11/2008 15:14

i could be joining you girlies soon it seems - still waiting for blood test results but a further update;

well i woke up today happier than i have all week and when i went to loo i hd a brownish discharge again when i wipe, no pain no cramps and doesnt feel like af but there is definatley some bleeding - i have been knicker checking like made since and it has now turned more red and blood like but only when i wipe?? its not actually getting into my knickers, its only when i wipe??

still no pains!?!?!?! OR CRAMPS??!?!?! Normally when i get af i get relly bad cramps an hour before and then full flow, no messing and it last 3 days - this is so wierd and i cant take much more - what is going on!! tears are the only thing thats actually flowing!!

olivo · 01/11/2008 13:11

Hello! Can i join you? I already have an august baby, and I have few concerns about her being the very youngest in the year; I'd be more worried if she was the oldest, but this is a personal choice! I was willing her to arrive on time!!
I am on CD3 of my first cycle off ttc dc2, have only just come off the Pill, no idea of cycle length as i was lucky enough to conceive dd1 stright away.
good luck to everyone, hope to hear of some bfps soon.

Hi guys,

Having taken some time out to mope, I'm now back in the saddle so to speak! Having had such a long cycle, I've missed the July thread altogether and made my way straight over here!! I think I am on about cd 11 (where exactly do you count from if things take a while to get started (sorry if tmi!)?? I think my cycle is about 37 days on average. We are trying for 1st intrauterine pregnancy (last was ectopic). Good luck to all

(Have no idea how you clever people update stuff so will not fiddle!!)

ChubbyDick · 31/10/2008 21:54

Hi, can I join too? I'm on cd 18 but not sure when I've ovulated (or if I even have yet!) so not even sure when I'd be due if I were so lucky to get a bfp this month.

We are ttc our 5th baby but only our 3rd living child.

Hi everybody- it so nice to be on this thread where everyone is wanting the same thing. I am on cd11 today and am following the 'procedure' we used to conceive our ds- eventually- and that is to bd every other day from cd8 to cd 20 thereby covering all ood luck ladies- ov/lp possibilities. Lets face it, you don't haveto work our ov etc if you follow this and as shattered as i am with my little boy i feel i cannot afford to 'mess about'. GOOD LUCK LADIES- i mean that.

Hi everyone!
2manychips our circumstnces sound so similer-my child -a son- is 16 months and I'm 36 next week, lets hope our age doesn't hinder us anymore than it should...
My son's sleeping through but is incredibly hard work during the day- enjoyable but hard !!I've only just found the energy to start to actively ttc..must try harder I do so want to have more than ne child- i always did but before i had my son i thought i wouldn't even get the chsnce to hold one baby.
Good luck to us all!!!

madmarriedNika · 29/10/2008 20:44

Please can I join too? Was on the last 3 months lists but no joy yet- just worked out EDD if I did somehow fall pregnant this month and would be early August. I'm TTC#3 and was everso lucky with my last 2 that I conceived straightaway without even trying almost! This time things are taking a bit longer, but DD (16 months) is hard work at the moment bless her and we're not getting much sleep, so not sure if that plays a part in whether my body's ready to conceive...or perhaps limiting the opportunities/energy for BDing! I have complicated pregnancies and will need a CVS with the next if/when it happens so I am TTC with some trepidation...but we do really want #3 (even though I know how lucky we are to already have 2...)

Babydust to you all! and enjoy the BDing
