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

Not sure what is going on with me, the ovulation kit still says im not ov, but i had lower pain in left side for 2 days. I know its to early for it to happen, so im not sure what that pain was ....i think i should ov on the 25th dec, but i will attack the hubby every other night just incase! Should stop thinking about this so much!

olivo · 19/12/2008 11:19

can't wait, i have been feeling sick for about a week now - i'm 15DPo so from about 8DPO. it was the gagging when brushing my teeth that got me - that''s what i had with dd and what prompted me to test. good luck when yuo do, it sounds hopeful.

cantwaitforxmas · 19/12/2008 11:09

Thanks littlepea - I can't test until xmas eve which is why I think that it is too early to feel sick. It's strange though - I feel much better now that I am up and have managed a cup of tea and a biscuit. Trying not to get too carried away but feeling hopeful all the same. I never feel sick coming up to my period and I don't really feel ill so you never know.

littlepea72 · 19/12/2008 10:12

Hi cantwait, i never get symptoms except feeling sick with the smell of coffee or drinking it, so it could be a symptom. I can feel sick coming upto my period, but i know with the coffee...that was it for me. So good luck & i hope its happened for you, when can you test??

gettingstarted · 19/12/2008 09:54

Congratulations Olivo, it will be such an amazing Christmas for you both!

cantwaitforxmas · 19/12/2008 09:36

Congratulations again Olivo.

Okay after complaining about having no symptoms to play at spotting I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous. Nearly threw up when I was brushing my teeth and the smell of coffee is making me really queasy. Apparently it is possible to feel sick even before your period is due but probably reading too much into a winter bug .

irishmumwannabe · 19/12/2008 08:49

Olivo that is the best news - I am so delighted for you congratulations!

So glad there's finally a BFP on the thread - may the torrent start soon for the rest of us!

Good luck to you all

well done olivo and mr olivo - you got a great christmas present!

olivo · 18/12/2008 20:06

thanks everyone.can't quite believe it, after a month of all of us being ill and both stressed at work.
I'll be keeping an eye on all of you though, waiting for you to join me.
good luck!

cantwaitforxmas · 18/12/2008 20:04

Hi all!!

Congratulations olivo . That's fantastic.

Good luck everyone else. I hope this is the start of a flurry of BFPs. This waiting seems endless (I am due on xmas eve). Half the time I feel really hopeful and the rest I'm convinced we can't be that lucky first time.

Sorry for AF morethan

Littlepea - having a time limit sounds very stressful. I really hope you get your BFP before then (and that DP is okay). Sounds like you will be having a VERY festive xmas and new year .

Hello and good luck to everyone else!

peacelily · 18/12/2008 19:59

Brilliant!!! Congratulations Olivo very exciting!!

Wishing you a happy and stress free pregnancy

( digital ones can't be wrong ,can they?)

ForcesSweetheart · 18/12/2008 19:21

littlepea, I usually get generalised cramping for several hours on ov day followed that night by a short sharp pain on one side after which the cramping stops I'm pretty sure that's me ov'ing. Was wary of waiting and trusting in that this month tho as last month I didn't get it at all and was convinced it was an anovulatory cycle. As I was driving to camp last night I felt the cramping but didn't notice the sharp pain (may have been while I was otherwise occupied!) I reckon there's no harm in you getting to it now just in case Good luck!

littlepea72 · 18/12/2008 18:52

Not due to ov until next week, but getting strange pain in lower left, ov kit says no, but i might try just incase as it did have a very faint blue line. My cyles have been later since last year with my mc, so im wondering if things might be getting back to normal again. does anyone else get those pains arround ov time or do they just come and go about a week before. Ive never taken much notice of them before, so im not sure.

bubblebell1 · 18/12/2008 18:52

Hi girls!!

Good luck to gettingstarted and olivo. We need some BFPs soon and maybe you 2 will be the first

Just discovered this thread. We TTC first time this month with sperm donor. No fun at all, so keeping everything crossed to avoid more quality syringe time . AF due on Sat, fingers crossed it doesn't come.
