trying for a September baby, anyone want to join?

Hi girls!

how are you all?

STILL no AF for me and a BFN yesterday morning. i am baffled. this has never happened before. i can only assume im not ovulating. i have a drs appointment this afternoon but i am not holding out for many answers... prob be told to just wait for af.

is there anything i should ask??? tests i need.. not got a clue what to say really and scared i will just burst into tears and not tell him what i want.

good luck to you all...

Evening ladies. Welcome Trixie and shoptilidrop! Let's hope this is a lucky thread
Bubblebell- any news?? Keeping everything crossed that a lovely BFP is on its way...must be awful being in limbo for so long. I have fairly short cycles which is a blessing in many ways!
Trixie- I think if you wait to test until the day AF is actually due then most tests should give a meaningful results. For my last 2 pregnancies I tested after AF was due (at least a day late) just with cheapie Tesco tests which worked instantly. This time round I have also bought some cheap EBay tests (which I've already used up as have no self control this time!) but also have a freebie Clearblue digital too to try. I'm determined this month not to test until the day AF is due- I've been getting spotting before AF really gets going so if no spotting will test on day AF usually comes properly. It is hard in way as cheap tests are so readily available not to test early, especially as many claim to be able to detect very small amounts of HcG so could give a result 4 days or more before AF is due...but when you read the detail only in a fairly small percentage of cases can pregnancy be detected that early...so best really to hold off (she says reminding herself!!). Good luck to all of those just starting the BDing marathon- have a feeling we'll be getting more practise at this next month again as really didn't get enough in this time...but we'll see soon enough

Here's the list for today (I think- please amend if wrong)

hi trixie (and others) - not sure i can answer your test question very well - i have some cheap online ones so that i can use them frequently without caring about money - lots of people swear b clearblue digital because it just says yes or no so y ou have no squinting at faint lines!!

Here's a question for you all, since it's been almost 5 (oh my god has it really been that many?) years since I last used a pregnancy test. Is one brand considered more reliable/responsive than others?

HI _ Can i join?
My cycles are starting to settle down 18 months after coming off the pill, all being well i should ov sometime over the next week. Planning to Bd everyother day this month, last month it was everyday on day 10 to 15 and we burnt ourselfs out, then i didnt ov till cd20. Would be lovely to have a september baby...

Ha, 2manychips - 37.5 here! I haven't any idea whether things still work in there. More of my friends have had fertility issues than not, so I'm resigned to this taking a while...

Hey Trixie I'm with you on the age worry! Def taking longer this time. I'll be 38 soon how about you?
Gateau, we're both going for a similar age gap it seems! Good luck all.

Hi everyone.

Maiden foray onto Mumsnet for me. Like twoplease, I have a DD who's 4 in two weeks' time and after several years of dithering, DH and I have decided to give no. 2 a try before the well runs dry, so to speak.

AF arrived yesterday, though my cycle's been wonky since I had DD. I bought antenatal vitamins today...the thin edge of the obsessive wedge, I'm sure! DD was embarrassingly easy to create, but am worried no. 2 will be rather less so given my age...

Hope it's okay if I join you.

i agree peacelily - don't want to spend xmas worrying about what might be so will test on christmas eve unless af arrives early which it is very likely to do. i am having some blood tests done the week before to check on progesterone level so might have given up before xmas day anyway if i have results by then!!

Good luck jumpingjelly on the 2ww - i hate that bit so hope you find plenty to occupy your time!

Hello ladies. Was thinking about adding myself to the other Sept thread (hadn't realised at first that there's two!) but am trying not to obsess so will attempt to now check on here too often...
Well don't feel we have BD'd enough this month to really be in with much of a chance- DCs were poorly, then me, then DH, and now me again!! Sorry if TMI but my EWCM has gone now (think it started around CD12 until yest morn) and we only BD'd once during that period so not going to get my hopes up (I keep saying that but of course you do!!). Also am convinced that as I'm not getting much sleep between thesis-writing and DD's night wakening my body will probably not be quite ready for pregnancy...(and in fact I'm quite scared of the thought of coping with a first trimester while finishing the PhD & looking after DD who gets poorly quite a bit in winter...)

anyhow enough rambling from me!

Welcome Bexaa, Gateau, Pinkie and Twoplease! Sorry for recent arrival of AF but hopefully this being the festive season we might all have some better luck

Af arrived bang on time today. I always get a pain in my thigh followed by spotting and then af so always ready for it.

i know exactly what you mean

Hi there, Can I join you ladies? (as there are 2 september threads - not sure which to join but recognised one or two of you from other threads so hope you don't mind or should i join other one too?)

I am ttc #2, i have a dd who is 4 in two weeks and i was really hoping to have another baby before she went to school next year but that is out the window now - am just focusing on anytime now!!!

am due af on xmas day which could either be really great or bloody rubbish!

I've added myself to the list - hope that's ok?

Hi all,
I'm on the other Sept thread, but might as well join here too!
Currently TTC DC no 2. We already have a DS of 19 months who's a real cherub!
Have had two m/cs quite close together this year and am coming to the end of my first AF after my most recent m/c.
When I next do a pg test it will be Xmas Eve!! So I'll either be celebrating with a Shloer or drowning my sorrows with a glass of wine. Good luck all.

hi girls! how are you all?
