Sorry mosschops didn't mean to make you gag, but bratnav did ask!

TrixieVix · 06/11/2008 16:04

Am back again - is it really stupid to get waves of excitement about even trying to conceive?!

Am taking my folic acid religiously and am trying desparately to lose my remaining baby weight before ttc again....am worried as I put on 4st with last one, and am still a good 1-1.5 st overweight. Someone said to me you might as well wait until you're finished having babies to lose it all, but then I read that it's more difficult if you don't?!

WTF?? who talks about that sort of stuff gag
EWCM aside ...... I started my folic acid this morning, am hoping for proper AF soon so that I can work out my cycle and hopefully conceive in December

Oooh and slight development, DP said last night that I should stop taking the pill now rather than at the end of the packet (3ish weeks). So no more pills for me, but I think I would still rather have a September baby than August, DD2 is a September baby and is coping so much better with school than DD1 who is a June baby did.

that is nausea by the way and not envy!

VickyJane77 · 04/11/2008 20:06

EWCM is egg white cervical mucus, and its the state of the cervical mucus around the time of ovulation, it's very clear and stretchy.

TrixieVix · 04/11/2008 20:03

Yay - pleased there are others to get excited with!!

Bratnav - sorry AF arrived - I know what it's like when that happens (I took a pg test yesterday - negative!!) and was stupidly disappointed.....also knew it was a long shot, but still...

DS is 2 next month - can't believe my baby is growing up so quickly! He said "Mummy a silly billy" earlier today because I tripped up the stairs...made me realise that's he's understanding humour now!

bratnav · 04/11/2008 19:45

Well we weren't really trying yet, so I suppose it was a long shot anyway. DP VERY supportive about my slightly dippy crying fit late last night

bratnav · 04/11/2008 19:43

Does anyone know what EWCM is? It is all over the conception threads (which I am trying really hard not to read) but I have no clue.

yay bratnav you get to stay with the girls. But so sorry that your AF arrived

My mirena came out today, totally painless (a bit different to it going in)!!
According to my GP the next time I have an AF it will be a real AF in a real cycle.
Hopefully this will be early to mid november then I will be ready tc in December

Im so excited, Ive never ttc before either, both of mine were unplanned. Welcome to trixie

Welcome Trixie, lucky you to get the ov tests in the house! My DP has stated in no uncertain terms that he is having none of it.

How old is your DS?

TrixieVix · 04/11/2008 10:29

Ohh - hello...may I join too?

We're ttc from January, although came off the pill 6 months ago (been careful since then) to get my cycle regular again - took 6 months last time.

Am so excited about ttc - never got the chance with DS - wasn't exactly planned although was being tested for PCOS and thought we'd have difficulty.

Have been taking my folic acid and everything this time - gone a bit ott and bought ovulation kits in preparation....think DH think's I've gone completely mad

bratnav · 04/11/2008 09:47

Sticking with you ladies though

bratnav · 04/11/2008 09:47

Definitely not, AF started last night

Long shot, but my breasts are so tender and I don't normally get that with AF.

I want to stay with this thread though

bratnav are you ahead of the game

OP posts:
VickyJane77 · 30/10/2008 16:14

Thanks for the welcome, like you say, onwards and upwards.
bratnav I'm not sure about early symptoms that can't be confused with af apart from missing af, oh and feeling really tired, that one always gets me.

bratnav · 30/10/2008 15:47

Can anyone remind me of early symptoms that CANNOT be confused with AF?
