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

Hi all,

I thought a name change was in order after xmas so cantwaitforxmas becomes idreamofbeanie ta da.

Well AF arrived on xmas day - I was very disappointed but luckily have had such a great hol I haven't had time to mope. I think I could possibly have a sept baby if I concieve this month so I hope you don't mind if I hang about.

Congratulations Littlerascal

mosschops30 · 30/12/2008 14:47

hi all can I join in here too?

Me and dh ttc #3. I have no idea about cycles (as have had mirena).
Last AF was 8th Dec, and despite us both having the flu me and dh managed to try a few times Xmas week.
I dont seem to have EWCM but dont know if thats significant.

Any advice would be great, keeping my fingers crossed for everyone hoping for a september baby

MoreThanChocolate · 30/12/2008 13:34

Oh dear, don't blame you for testing - I would have done the same.

My cycle is not as predictable since the mc now on cd 13 and no sign of ov test positive though day 13 would have been my normal ovulation day previously - already tested for 4 days and cervix still well within reach so not going to be for awhile I imagine, though we are pretty much on the deanna plan this month so getting busy anyway (quietly as staying with relatives) and hoping for the best.

The lack of influence I can have over my body feels frustrating.

bubblebell1 · 30/12/2008 11:27

hi ladies!

hope your all ok.

this waiting is driving me round the bloody twist.... its been 10 wks now since af was due.

well today i felt sick and light headed. so i did a hpt and it said not pregnant. i knew deep down i wasnt but seeing those words AGAIN really has peed me off.

i hope some of you have some good luck soon.

LittleRascal · 30/12/2008 10:52

sorry- you too irish! hope you had fun though!! tee hee!

LittleRascal · 30/12/2008 10:51

good luck littlepea!exciting but such an anxious time!sounds positive though!
thanks for all the well wishes. we doing well. trying not to think much about it as it makes me too nervous incase something goes wrong!
have a merry new years all of you!

littlepea72 · 30/12/2008 10:44

Well i should have about 6-7 days before af is due. Im trying to pack up boxes, but today is not happening. My tummy is alot more rounded an it is, im feeling dizzy & faint & im getting mild sharp pains in my tummy now and again. Also was nearly sick too. Yesterday & the day before i had mild cramps but they had stopped. Either coming down with something or some wishful thinking! Hate the waiting!!

irishmumwannabe · 30/12/2008 10:42

My God it's quiet in here these days isn't it?

How are all of you ladies - I am now on the 2ww - having exhausted both myself and DH (wipes brow and flops on couch) so will now have the next few weeks of symptom spotting to get through before testing and a result (hopefully the one I want)

ForcesSweetheart any luck for you - did you do any more tests?
Looks like a few near the top of the class should be testing soon.

Feel like I have a tummy bug or something today though - pains in my stomach and nausea - I know it's not pg symptons but wish it would go away so I know if anything hapens that it's really proper symptons.

irishmumwannabe · 29/12/2008 09:25

bubblebell1 that's good news then isn't it? Fingers crossed for you - hopefully things will go well for you.

Think I ov'd yesterday cos had sharp pain in my abdomen and ewcm so hopefully this will be the month. DH and I were BDing day 8, 10, 12, 13, and will have another go tonight so then it's the 2ww for me again!

LOO @ HeadFairy - my younger siter is staying with us at the mo and we have been so quiet

Trixie hope AF stays away and that you have a great holiday!

Hi to everyone who has joined - anyone heard anything about those on the top of the list? Katster, Wook, cantwait any news for us?

better go back to teh work thiing now - talk to you all soon

bubblebell1 · 29/12/2008 09:03

hi girls!

hope u all had a good xmas.

im still here waiting for af to arrive. had some achesand pains, breast tenderness and my cervix has moved upwards slightly from its usual position (tmi for some. sorry)could that mean i am finally ovulating???????

i hope we get some BFPs soon! xxx

littlepea72 · 28/12/2008 20:40

Forces i cant do a test untill a few days after my af was due, it just never showed up, twice. So i would just keep on trying them for a couple of days. The dearer tests would be able to pick up anything alot sooner. Good luck!!

Sorry to hear your news Sans, maybe a break will do you good.

Got BFN this morning on a cheapie ebay test, but still no sign of AF. I am pretty sure I ov'd on CD CD19, and I have always come on on the 10th day post-ov, so should have come on yesterday. I don't know whether to get my hopes up or whether my LP is just longer this month coz I've taken 50mg b6 every day since ov. Is it possible the b6 has worked to lengthen my LP so quickly? Have loads of cheapie tests so will continue to test each morning til AF or BFP shows up!

HeadFairy · 28/12/2008 19:31

Have a good one Trixie! I hope af stays away.

Sunnydale - I don't have any top tips for silent shagging, dh and I had to do it on Christmas night. I got such a fit of giggles as my dad was rummaging about in the airing cupboard which is right outside my bedroom while we were at it As we're ttc I was of course in a position to, ahem, bury my face in the pillow to stifle the laughs. DH is nothing if not grimly determined, he carried on regardless

JumpingJellyfish, I'd go for the cd11 and 15 bd's but then I usually ov on cd 15. At least you know you did your best. Good luck!

TrixieBelden · 28/12/2008 14:37

Welcome, Sunnydale and hello everyone else. Am packing for a week's holiday in the country with a gang of friends and am grimly shoving the tampax in my bag -- am due AF on New Year's Day am feeling pessimistic about our chances this (first) month of TTC. No reason (other than testing early and getting a BFN), just preparing to be disappointed. At least being away will get my mind off it! Hope you all have a lovely, calm, non-obsessive New Year.

PS My boobs still hurt.

JumpingJellyfish · 27/12/2008 22:22

Hello all! Welcome all the newcomers (sorry only popping on so not naming..)- hoping this is a lucky thread

Sans04- so so sorry AF appeared again. Really feel for you. Hoping the new year brings fresh perspective and maybe fresh hope too- but know how hard it can be. Good luck with whatever you decide xxx

Well DH is going away for 3 days bang over my possibly/most likely fertile period- CD12 - CD15. Not sure whether just to write this month off or carry some hope that by BDing tonight (CD11) and when he returns (CD15) we might still be in with a chance... Have managed some silent BDing at in-laws last night but it is very hard!! (made worse by the fact DD woke up during...luckily she settled herself back to sleep quickly enough! I swear young children really are the ultimate contraceptive).

Good luck all those nearing the end of the 2WW and also all of you in the BDing marathon and beyond!

Sunnydale · 27/12/2008 19:46

Hello to everyone on the September thread - can I join? Was on the August one and am skipping over - hope that's okay. Have added myself to the list. September babies, here we come!
Am on CD10 and off to the in-laws tomorrow - not looking forward to four days of silent BD-ing, I must admit. My fertile period always seems to coincide with the in-laws visiting - it was the same last month. Which might explain why there's gonna be no August baby . Anyone got any tips for TTC when your parents / in-laws are in the bedroom next door?! Lie back and think of England, I suppose...

Hi everyone

Well thats the bding over with this month (thank god!)...made an efford this month as we only ever have a try when the day i ov comes up. This time it was alot, now my tummy feels like i have been doing 1000 situps every night, and im walking like John Wayne!! So yesterday was the last, hubby happy its over too, he feels like he has been doing pushups with his...anyways....lol....I hope you all had a good xmas, sorry about your af Sans, what about just taking a break, they say thats when it happens?? I hope it works out for you.

HeadFairy · 27/12/2008 15:41

congratulations littlerascal, what great news.

So sorry sans you're so down about af, I hope you have a better 2009 and that you get your bfp very soon. It's always the way isn't it? People try for ages, then give up and get pg straight away. Please don't give up hope completely, sending you some ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) and hoping you have a good New Years!

I've had a rotten Christmas, been ill since Tuesday, had a temperature, a stinking cold and a cough like someone dying of TB! So awful, I didn't even have any Christmas lunch and my mum's turkey planning is so efficient there wasn't anything left over for me either boo hoo! I dosed myself up to the eyeballs with paracetamol on Christmas day just so I could face one bd as I ov'd that day. Completely bonkers eh? Anyway, I'm almost certainly out this month, there's no way that half hearted, fevered shag will result in a baby, not with my wizened old eggs! Still, I'm going to hang around here until I'm forcibly removed

I hope everyone else's Christmases were better and Father Christmas brought you everything you asked for I'll be back in a couple of days when I'm not so germ laden!

irishmumwannabe · 27/12/2008 13:46

Hi All - haven't been on for a few days but CONGRAULATIONS LittleRascal so glad you got a BFP for Christmas,

Sans04 hope you are getting throughChristmas and hope you are feeling better. Let us know if you are definitely out - hopefully taking a break could be what you need and you will get your bean!

LOL @ TrixieBelden - hope AF stays away and you're keeping the testng at bay! My friend as due Christmas day but haven't heard from her yet so hopefully things are ok with her.

Hope all the rest of you are well - I've been doing the BD thing now since Tuesday and so far so good. should ov on Sunday so fingers crossed!

TrixieBelden · 27/12/2008 10:34

Oh, Sans04 - Christmastime does make all of this harder. Good luck, whether you decide to keep trying or not.

Fingers crossed for Forcessweetheart even though a BFP would mean no more thrilling stories of midnight raids on the camp.

CD24 here for me, AF due in 5 days, and like a moron I tested this morning using one of those tests that's meant to work 6 days before you miss a period. In 62% of women, anyway. Of course it was a BFN and I'm grumpy, and I have sore boobs and am falling asleep on my feet and am nauseated. Am aware this is all probably psychosomatic and am quite confident I could grow a psychosomatic bump if necessary. sigh.

Am going to visit dear friend in hospital today, she had a much-longed-for baby girl on Christmas Day and as thrilled as I am for her, I know it will make me mopey and yearny afterwards.

This time of year really does make it trickier. All this time to sit around and think about it. Hope you're all more able to get your mind off it than I am!

Sans04 · 27/12/2008 09:50

Hello
AF arrived for me on 24/12, I am totally out I gave up on TTC, it's almost 2 years really hard for me I had the worse xmas ever, so I will not try any more.
a very happy new year to all and all the best wishes to all of you. good luck to everyone

Congrats BFPs!!! Am away from home for a coupla weeks so just popping on briefly to see if we got any more BFPs while I've been away. So pleased we have.
My AF is due tomorrow (Saturday) so will be trying to resist the urge to test til Sunday morning. Crossing everything she stays away. Good luck all my fellow 2ww'ers.
