Hi All, have been on a couple of ttc hreads but due to sad arrival of af yesterday and x2 negative pg testa thought I'd start a September one.

We are ttc#2 we already have dd(2) and had a mc in September this will be cycle 3 since mc.

Mc hit me hard, more so than other adverse life events for some reason also head full of other stuff such as trying to complete a Post grad Diploma in Cognitive Therapy!!

Anyway want to try to be optimistic and hopeful and not (too!) obsessive this month!

Anyone else fancy joining?? xx

right..... im am so so so confused... AF has arrived.. im so pleased she is only 3 months late!!!!!!! but i was sure i was ovulating.. has anyone experienced bleeding at hte time of ovulation... i can remember this happening the month i fell with ds2.. not sure tho so counting it as af and am back to cd1 woo hooooooo does that mean i am out for a sept baby???

head does your cervix rise before af??

littlewifey · 04/01/2009 09:52

Aww sorry to hear that littlepea. I will keep my fingers crossed for you for next month and good luck with your move to Germany x

littlepea72 · 04/01/2009 09:19

I think any hope i may of had could be well be gone. Ive just started to get pre af cramps, a bit sorer than i get, but it looks as if af is on its way and maybe a bit sooner than i thought. Not happy but not alot i can do about it.....

littlepea72 · 04/01/2009 08:44

Have a great holiday Snowfalls, hope all goes well with your testing. Im moving to Germany before you get back, but will try to home in to see what is happening with everyone....and will hopefully find out myself in a couple of days!! Lordy im scared!!

Snowfalls108 · 03/01/2009 22:01

Right ladies, I'm off on holiday tomorrow until saturday. Good luck all those testing. I've packed tests and tampons, don't know what will be needed! X x

HeadFairy · 03/01/2009 21:55

hiya bubble... I think that probably means you're about to ovulate. I read somewhere the acronym is SHOP Soft High and Open, that's when you're ovulating. I really hope that it's just that, because whatever happens before ovulation, af usually arrives 14 days after ov (feel free to correct me anyone if I'm wrong on any of this!) Might be worth a few hopeful bd's anyway

Hello there everyone else.... oh the 2ww wait continues... soooo tedious! I'm so convinced that even if I hadn't bd'd all month and there was absolutely no chance I was pg I'd still be symptom spotting. I am my own worst enemy. I'm just chanting my mantra... "stop symptom spotting, those sore boobs are exactly what you get pre af" Not very catchy, but I repeat it 10,000 times a day!

All together now...."stop symptom spotting, those sore boobs are exactly what you get pre af.... stop symptom spotting, those sore boobs are exactly what you get pre af..... stop symptom spotting........"

bubblebell1 · 03/01/2009 21:29

Issy i hope you do get a bfp this month. i just think that it would be better for you and that you and your ex are adults and capable of woking things out i am keeping fingers crossed for you xx

moss cd is cycle day first day of period is cd1 unless it arrives after 6pm and then cd1 is the next day.... so.. i worked you out to be on cd27... 27 days since your last period????? feel free to change anything if i fuffed it up

head please help re cervix.....Tmi but i am desperate..... for ages n ages n ages cervix has been low and hard could feel it like a mini doughnut. it started moving back day before yest and today its gone completely.?. if it is a sign of ovulation (along with those cripling pains the other night) how long does the cervix stay high??

TrixieBelden · 03/01/2009 18:47

mosschops - put. the. tests. away. I drove myself and DH MENTAL by testing too early. Not to mention the money wasted. I got no semblance of a line till the day AF was due! Obviously everyone is different but...

Issy42 · 03/01/2009 18:23

First day of period is day 1 unless starts after 6pm then next day is day 1.

mosschops30 · 03/01/2009 17:01

so how do you work out your cycle day?

Issy42 · 03/01/2009 16:58

CD is cycle day

Thanks Headfairy - never was one to keep life simple

littlepea72 · 03/01/2009 16:55

Thank you was feeling left out

What do you need, Im not that good at my concieveing knowledge yet.

Am ttc #3, AF on 7th Nov after having mirena out and then 8th Dec (which I think gives me a cycle length of 30days).
Tested yesterday and got a BFN but am not due until next thurs I think. This is our first month of trying

thanks

bubblebell1 · 03/01/2009 15:37

Aww moss... whats your details and i will stick you in... or just add in yourself. the more the merrier xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

bubblebell1 · 03/01/2009 15:36

hi ladies!

didnt bother goin to hosp. my ds' are too hyped up to sit in a hospital waiting room and i dont have anyone to watch them. ive had enough of hospitals at the mo. plus the pain has gone completley now!!!! how confused am i.

i will however go if the pain comes back at all.

im keeping everything crossed except my legs that this month will be the month that everything returns to normal for me ive got a welcome party ready for AF when she turns up. party poppers, balloons the lot.

hope you are all well. not going too crazy in your 2ww.

i know its hard but try and stop yourself testing til due date. the results are so unreliable xxxxx

mosschops30 · 03/01/2009 15:34

bexaa thats given me great hope. I did a first response test yesterday (6 days early) and got a BFN.

Am still hoping for a BFP next week, have promised I wont test until next Friday which seems like a lieftime away.

(BTW am still waiting to be invited into the fold of this thread and added to the list cliquey indeed )

littlepea72 · 03/01/2009 15:32

Trixie, my boobs hurt so bad a couple of days ago, now i can feel some discomfort at night, but not much. Sickness now and again, but im not sure. Doesnt help that im packing boxes after boxes!! Will just have to wait, it does feel different but as always it could just be me.

Snowfalls, i have done 2 tests...way to early...will try to hold off too!! lol...

Littlewifey, I to had mc a year last Nov, well they call it that but the heart stopped at 11 wks, so they had to op. Its only this month, a good 13 months later that my cycle has been 29 days again, before it ranged from 32-35 after mc.....so i think that was my body getting ready again. I had some terrible clots which the doc said was the lining coming away, just took me alot longer than most, and the only ok that would work telling me i had ovulated was the dear ones...clearblue dig. I remember starting with them and buying 2 pks so i wouldnt be to early testing or too late....it was worth the money.

Hi to everyone else!!!

I am so weak. Did a test this morning, 5 days before af due and suprise suprise got a bfn. I am now promising myself and dp that I will note do another one until the 8th. 5 whole days away. I think it's important to remember a lot of people aren't actively ttc when they do, and they do all sorts of unwise things and end up with healthy babies.

katster37 · 03/01/2009 11:18

Wow, congrats on all those BFPs, how jealous am I?!?! Not really, it's terrific!
Well, I am on CD16, had LOTS Of EWCMCDs 11 - 15 so am thinking I OV-ed yesterday, but not sure. BD-ed on CD9, 11, 12 and 14. Do you think the little sperm (eeew, hate that word!) could survive from CD12 until 15?? Hopefully some will have, anyhow!

Am not sure if this is updated correctly - feel free to change!

littlepea - my boobs mostly hurt at night. They woke me up a few times. They only started to hurt consistently throughout the day on the day AF was due.

Snowfalls - I was just the same, driving myself CRAZY, testing repeatedly too early and despairing. I used different kinds of (expensive) HPTs and didn't get a +ive till the day I was due.

bubblebell - I think that might rank in the annals of Worst New Years Ever. How are you feeling now?

minx - how maddening! Hope you get some answers soon.

Came home from holiday with my third cold of the season, and this one is a cracker. Grumpy grumpy grumpy. Here's to lots more BFPs in the next two weeks!

littlewifey · 03/01/2009 08:50

Hi Ladies, Can I please join? Have been lurking for the last week.. so congrats to Bexxa, Evie and Trixie on your recent BFP's. I am also currently on the 2WW, well think I am.. this is day 25 for me. However, I've been doing the OPK sticks from ebay and haven't had a positive result and no idea if they just don't work (cheapies) or if my body doesn't work My cycle doesn't help either, as since a MMC over a year ago, I've had anything from 30 day cycle to 38!!
Mosschops30 I would agree that a lot of women unowingly do things, while we stress when trying to conceive! My SIL didn't know she was pg and she was drinking loads at parties etc before she found out. She's now got a healthy 3 month old
