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

evie2000 · 01/01/2009 12:25

thanks for all the lovely words and congratulations Bexxa. Taking the pressure off seems to have worked for both of us! hope you all enjoyed new year - we had everyone here - not drinking wasn't easy particularly as everyone was talking bollocks after about 10pm!!
love and baby dust to you all.

littlepea72 · 01/01/2009 07:34

Congratulations Bexaa!! Its great to see all these BFP's starting :O

Not sure what is going on with me. Feeling sick off & on for the last couple of days, boobs where so sore last night that i couldnt touch them, and i started tasting something strange in my mouth. Woke up this morning and my boobs are soreish if you poke them but....nothing this morning! Its mind games for the next 5 days, but i really dont feel to good....

Happy new year everyone...i hope you all have a great one. Im off to the in-laws now, they are having a big mad party (spot the one who wont be drinking!)...xxxx

minxofmancunia · 31/12/2008 21:11

Wow Evie ell done that's brilliant news.

Just want to say Happy New Year to everyone - hope ye have a briliant one and that it brings lots of MN babies!

Figured out that if I do get pg this cycle it will be due in October - but it might coe early so Ill stick around.

To the pg ladies if you are stll around - how are the symptoms? HOpe the morning sickness isn't too bad if it has visited you at alll. You may keep us updated with any news!

See you all in the New Year.

gettingstarted · 31/12/2008 14:53

Wow evie2000 that is GREAT! We'll all have to bd earlier! What an amazing beginning to 2009! I keep thinking there must be a crucial day that I need to hit, you've obviously done it!

littlepea72 · 31/12/2008 13:54

Evie that is great!!! Well done you!! What a great christmas pressie!! Let us know how you are getting on xx

evie2000 · 31/12/2008 13:24

hello all -I just wanted to pop by and say hello, goodluck etc. About a month ago I was on this thread but decided to come off it as I was getting obsessed with charting etc etc. Anyway - DH was ill this month at our crucial time so one inpromtu BD was all I got (five days early so quite the wrong time). As a result I've just had a very relaxing month not wondering or waiting or anything. It has done me the world of good...not that it's possible for everyone but I highly recommend it...not only for the break but also because unbelivably after 6 months of trying i have just got a BFP....one bd - 5 days earlier than usual and hey presto!
So anyway - I send you all much love and hugs and baby dust everyone. I so know the feeling of disappointment, I found it really hard to take so I really do send extra love to anyone getting a bfn today.

irishmumwannabe · 31/12/2008 11:06

Ooops sorry of course I meant Minx

irishmumwannabe · 31/12/2008 11:05

Hee hee Mink loving the new name hope it's a lucky one for you! Hope you get BFP or failing that AF comes so you know what's going on. Fingers crossed.

littlepea I had the exact same thing yesterday a really tight sensation in my stomach all day that came and went and sometimes was so painful I had to catch my breath.Don't know what it was but glad to know I wasn't alone in that.

So DH is getting all excited abotu me poss being pg cos he's like "well we bd'd lots for the days we should have so it's defo going to happen" Hopefully we won't have to bring him back to earth with a thud this month. [hmmm]

minxofmancunia · 31/12/2008 10:23

Hi everyone,

This is peacelily now changed my name to minxofmancunia, new year, new name, fresh start!!

Thanks everyone for your kind messages, sunnydale I reqally do feel exactly the same as you, first 2 weeks fine and dandy, 2nd 2 (or more as the case now seems to be for me!) stuck in hellish limbo!!

jumpingjellyfish thanks for your kind words, I too feel very blessed with my beautiful dd, she's my comfort and joy but the feeling of incompleteness is always there. Would love a sib for her.

Still no af for me cd33!! still sore boobs abd constipation now too!! WFT is going on!

HomeintheSun · 31/12/2008 07:57

thanks JumpingJellyfish but you have permission to uncross your fingers as af arrived about 3 hours after I posted, am quite gutted, this is only our 3rd month trying but, as I'm such an impatient person I just wanted it to happen 6 months ago. I have an order of ovulation sticks things coming I think they'll be here in time for the bd'ing, even that feels like ages away. I think this is me out for a September baby, good luck to everyone baby dust all round.

JumpingJellyfish · 30/12/2008 22:04

Evening all!
Homeinthesun your symptoms do sound very promising- keeping everything crossed for you! Well done for resisting testing too.

Littlepea really not sure about the strange tummy feelings! Every month I get a strange tum and get my hopes up, only for AF to arrive - I think I'm just so much more aware of such things when TTC than I am usually. But I'm hoping for you it's all a good sign!

peacelily- just want to send you some big hugs ((( ))) I kind of know a bit of how you feel, but also know I'm so lucky to already have 2 DCs... Just that this time I'm on my 7th cycle and it seems like TTC is taking forever- the rollercoaster of each month isn't something I'd anticipated and as much as I say I won't obsess I almost can't help it... But I rationalise it all saying that we haven't BDed enough previous months- so going to try "properly" for a few more cycles before I finally start looking further & banging on my GP's door... But it's got to be so having got pregnant and then suffered a miscarriage, and have to embark on this rollercoaster again Really hope your BFNs turn into BFPs.

Well DH returns this eve so hoping to get some more BDing in, though think my EWCM has now dried up so not sure if we've missed it this month Guess I'll know in a couple of weeks... Definitely agree with you the 2WW is the killer...

Right, back to work for me!!

Think we may all be a day out so just updating the list again for today (Tuesday):

Sunnydale · 30/12/2008 21:29

Hello all. Peacelily I won't pretend I know how you feel but... I sort of do, and can def relate to your feelings of anger and desperation. I feel fairly optimistic this week but that's only because I've been BD'ing, and I find the part of my cycle where I'm allegedly fertile and BD'ing to be the part where I'm cheeriest. It's because I feel in control, and like I'm doing everything I can to get PG. By contrast, the 2ww sucks, and of course the BFNs. Suddenly all control is lost, and the very notion of having any feels like an illusion. In my head I've given myself six months from now (ie 8 in total) to get PG, even though I know this isn't very long, and that it may well take longer. Like you, though, I don't think I can stumble indefinitely up and down these peaks and troughs of hope and despair. Still, at least we've all got each other! (cue corny music from Christmas weepie on ITV2).

Well, CD13 tonight so another quiet shag as the in-laws creak around us and DD snores peacefully next door. We have to do it in a single bed, as I drew the line at doing it in the same room as DD is sleeping. No idea when I'm ovulating as have run out of pee sticks, can't get the hang of temping and don't have a sliver of CM, EW or otherwise. Hey ho!

HomeintheSun · 30/12/2008 20:07

Evening all, I'm on CD30 my normal cycle is between 28 and 34 days so thought I'd leave it to day 35 (04.01) and test then if the witch hasn't got to me first, I think I ovulated on CD17 and then had ew again on cd25 and 27 along with about two spots of blood, my boobs hurt for a few days and I had some cramping and have had backache not that I'm symptom spotting or anything but now I feel like I'm going to come on so just really confused.

bubblebell1 · 30/12/2008 19:06

peace sorry that your feeling sad. i know how awfull it is to wait for af and for it not to arrive! im sending big hugs your way and hoping that your luck changes soon xxxxx

Hi everyone,

i've had such a rubbish day am getting sick of everything. On cd 32 today still no af and x2 bfn hpts (clearblue digital). was going to wait to test til nye but cos we're out tonight instead thought I'd test early as didn't want to be irresponsible.

body is playing horrible tricks on me, bobs are achy and fit to burst but no bean for me this time .

The hope then the disappointment of the last few days has made me and dh at each others throats and I nearly walked out. each time I see a "not pregnant" I get the same feeling I had when i had mc, anger and desperation.

don't know how much longer I can do this, think I might change name too as I'm sure this ones jinxed.

happy new year to everyone hope you have a better one than I do waiting for af that doesn't arrive.

Hi everyone

Hope that someone can help me. I have been having strange pains in my tummy, its like a tighting feeling, like someone is putting their hands arround it and squeezing then letting go,its like when your tummy rumbles from hunger, but no rumble! lol....i hope this doesnt sound to weird, but its been happening off and on all day. Back is also killing me, so im off to swim in the bath!
