Still here and now hoping for a OCTOBER baby!!! Everyone welcome please join me :)

Wow - congratulations Stealth - and Trixie too.

Two close friends and a neighbour have all announced they are 12 weeks' pregnant this week. I'm so thrilled for them - but jealous beyond words too!

CD 8 for me today, so will be BD-ing over the weekend, then no DP until Weds and then absent again until the following weekend.

I am sooooo paranoid that we're too old to conceive. I can't read any statistics anymore as they just panic me!

Good luck, everyone!

Wise words, Beanie, I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm glad I didn't ring her earlier as that would never have crossed my mind and I would have hurt her feelings if I told her off.

Pull up a pew round the campfire Joy, really sorry to hear about your miscarriage last year. We're all rooting for you to have a sticky bean followed by bouncing baby this time round

Congratulations stealth - this seems to be a lucky month! I'm so excited for you and trixievix and just a bit .

Hi Joy27 welcome to the thread. We're a friendly bunch. Sorry about your miscarriage - it must be awful - and hope you have your autumn baby.

Wizzywoo - I would be annoyed with my mum if she did that but also know how excited she was when my SIL was pregnant so wouldn't be surprised if she couldn't keep it to herself. I'm not saying it was okay for your mum to tell other people but if it was out of excitment you could maybe look at it as a good thing .

Hello- this thread is massive now, but can I join in please?

I'm Joy27- ttc#1 - CD1

Since miscarrying last July (7 weeks pg I think- was a bit complicated), I've had cycles of 24-28 days. This month had my hopes up with an unprecedented 31 days... was whooping it up on the "september baby" thread thinking my luck was in... then period started tonight.

Bummer.

So I'm going to decamp here- if that's OK?
Onwards and upwards. Here's to squishy autumn babies all round.

Thanks StealthPo, good to know someone understands and it's not just me being hyper-sensitive. Glad you can join your friends now!

bubblebell hope I can join the graduate list before too long. I'm so impatient. Last day of AF so going to start BDing on Monday. Hope DD's cold has gone by then, otherwise I can see us having a bad case of coitus interruptus...

Can I join? I am still on Sept list. CD 18 TTC #1 month 2.
mensareject am also using a syringe as in SS marriage yet have known donor. Info in our 'kit' said rates from syringe were same as usual way. Due to different circumstances - i.e. donor, we leave it for 15 mins or so before insem - I do worry its too long even though the info says its OK. One TMI question Do you leave syringe after as a plug... don't answer if you don't want to... but who to ask??!! I think I've been reading too many ideas from different places

Oh WW, not yanbu about your mum,, that was really insensitive. And ikwym about all the pg women, 5 of my friends were pg with #1 aboutt he same time as me, (2 of them I met at AN) and EVERY SINGLE ONE is currently pg. I am pleased that so far I have managed to be genuinely happy for them as really I have nothing to moan about, but there was always a touch of

StealthPo just seen your post - keeping everything crossed for you too - I'm getting really excited for everyone now!

Just given DH a celebratory gin and orange and said "here's to baby 2". he replied "or 2 and 3"
I'm shaking

Trixievix I'm keeping everything crossed for you in the hope you get another BFP tomorrow - I'm so excited that one of us may be pg, it gives me hope!

I'm finding work hard at the mo. I work in a hospital right by the maternity/ante-natal wards. Every day I must see about 5 brand-new babies or pg mums waddling in for appointments and I just want that to be me. Just found out I've got to start attending maternity dept meetings too - little nervous about that since I've just started dealing with concerns/complaints and don't really want to hear hideous tales of the maternity ward I'll be having #2 in when (not if!) I get pg.

Also, AIBU to expect that when I tell my mum something in confidence, ie that DH & I are trying for #2, that she would keep it to myself when I ask her to? Had 2 calls this evening asking when our baby's due, as they've presumed I'm pg since she's telling them we'll have another baby by xmas... Really wanted to avoid having family constantly pestering me (they're a nosey bunch, my lot).

Sorry to moan, just been a long week with AF and desperately want to start BDing! Talk about sexual frustration (sorry, TMI !)

ahhhhh
just done a pg test, got a faint positive

Wow that sounds very hopeful TrixieVix - hope it sticks. I'm sending you lots of positive vibes. It's so exciting when people on the thread get their BFP - and it makes me feel much more confident it'll happen for us soon.

HomeintheSun My cycle is 28 days. I think with the ovulation sticks you have to look for a very definite result, like a dark line, to interpret a proper positive. It's my first month using them so I wanted to have a bit of the play around before the critical days next week. I suppose I'm expecting to get the green light on Tuesday next week. I've been trying since June but probably 3 months were lost due to MMC ERPC then waiting for first AF back in Sept / Oct. What about you - how many days in your cycle ?

well done trixievix!!! excellent news! just had another faint line on ov stick so am hoping body is trying again to ovulate - either that or its playing tricks on me

anyways off to BD - wish me luck

TrixieVix that is fabulous news - well done!!! Loads of babydust your way

oooh good news trixievix, hope it sticks

Catz/ Ruby i thought it was that, but get confused with all the info, just wanted to check then I know not to hope for two much this month... but yes will give it a go on Sunday anyway

Trixievix that sounds like a BFP to me

sending positive thoughts to you for in the morning and report back,It sounds like we have our first BFP of the thread ,good luck xxxxxxxxxxx

OMG TrixieVix I'm throwing bags of baby dust and positive thoughts your way.

FifiOK how long is your cycle?

Thinking positive Trixie

TrixieVix Sounds very encouraging. I look forward to hearing your news in the morning. Thinking positively for you

Oooh TrixieVix. Sounds very promising. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for the morning.

Just checking in too. Think I'm now at the start of the 2WW so not much to report here.
Hopefully it'll fly in.

Good luck to all.

Hello everyone hope you're all feeling positive for the weekend. HomeintheSun You are not sad to be excited. I'm on the same CD as you and also doing ovulation sticks and I'm excited too ! Did one when I got back from work today and got a very faint positive so looking foward to getting a definite positive line in next few days. Just planning an early night just in case . Bubble maybe they should make BDing an olympic sport - I think you would win gold.

Think I might have just got a +ve....

Bought some cheap pg tests from eBay and just done one because I've had a strange feeling all day.

It's a faint line, but there are definintely 2 pink lines visable on the stick. Came up within the 5 minutes too.

Am going to repeat in the morning, but please please please - think positive for me!!

Hi everyone, I'm just checking in, I'm on cd10 today I'm going to start using my ov sticks tomorrow, quite excited (is that sad?)I'm so tired, DS has been running us into the ground, I don't know what to do with him, if he doesn't nap in the afternoon he falls asleep before 5pm and then wakes up an hour later and is then up until 10pm but if he does nap in the afternoon he's still up until 10pm. And we want another we must be mad, DH has just told me I have bags under my eyes the size of his Nan's bottom, lovely man.
