Lovely lovely gynie specialist managed to whip out my Mirena (went astray, have posted before) without needing a GA (or three month wait for one) so am now officially TTC!

This (hopefully) will be my second DC, and am planning to use Persona to get to know my cycle a bit.

Is there a board I can join? Feel a bit weird about just jumping on to those great long boards where everyone knows each other...

Hi wini sort of same here.
Don't know what my ov dates are or any of that but not on the pill so we shall see!
How old is your ds?

Winibaghoul · 05/11/2009 10:19

hi ladies - do you mind if I join?
Currently TTC number 2. We're not actively 'trying' we've just ditched the protection. Not getting all that much action due to ds not sleeping properly

girlsyearapart · 05/11/2009 09:11

for you stillfrazzled.

I had a 2 day period on oct 21st which left me a bit confused as I was expecting a heavy one first time off the pill.

Oh well here's hoping for next month. Though not had much action recently so probably not!

Well, came on this morning.

Was hoping to give DH some fab news on his birthday, instead he has tearful DW and no bday action...

Ah well. Onwards and upwards, next month etc etc etc.

Sigh.

Hope your 'efforts' pay off, WYG

Just dropping in to say Hi to all on our thread. Pretty sure I OV'd at weekend and managed a fair bit of action so now waiting.......

I'm so sorry, Nichy. As you say, two months no time at all - but that doesn't make any difference, does it?

I'm on CD27 (I think; bloody Persona's given up the ghost after three weeks' use) and trying so hard not to (a) get my hopes up and (b) waste yet another test. I will not test until tomorrow, I will NOT.

Really feel rough but I know how good I am at inducing symptoms...

Well - I got my AF

Right in the middle of a mate's hen weekend which wasn't great. Two of the other hens are pregnant so felt a bit sad when my AF arrived.

Stupid I know but I feel disappointed even though we've only been TTC for 2 months....

I know what you mean, Nichy. Four of my friends have announced pregnancies in the last three months. I am delighted for all of them - I just want to catch up!

NichyNoo · 30/10/2009 12:15

I'm still here - AF is due on Sunday...going on a hen weekend as of this evening! I'm going to drink (although will deffo go easy) as I don't feel pregnant at all. In fact I don't know if I even ovulated this month as I had no pains and none of the sticky mucas stuff. Is that possible do you know?

I agree it is difficult when people announce their pregnancies - almost all of my friends in RL and on facebook seem to be pregnant for them but for me.

WestYorkshireGirl · 29/10/2009 20:52

Seems all quiet on our thread... Hope everyone getting on OK. Someone at work announced they are 16 wks pregnant this week and I wanted to shout 'I want to be pregnant too'! Feeling a bit fed up with it all...

Aaaargh this is just getting ANNOYING.

Still feeling nauseous, have tingly feeling in nork area, bloated as hell...

And yet is so incredibly unlikely that am actually pg. Remember this happened when we were trying for DS - I spent most of month convinced I was, then wasn't.

Sigh. I hate my brain sometimes.

What is earliest DPO you can test?

OP posts:
WestYorkshireGirl · 24/10/2009 17:17

I am on CD 9, but have taken the radical decision this month not to actively look at possible OV window (as have done previously) and see what happens..... My theory is that trying to time things hasn't worked so far so maybe just relaxing might help! Hope everyone else ok.

I'm feeling massively bloated too, really weird busy feeling.

Am torn between hoping, and realising it's really unlikely and I'm just obsessing and need to get my head round the BFN that's probably coming...

On CD 18, think I'm 4DPO, so can't test for ten days, right?

BrokenBananaTantrum · 22/10/2009 22:58

Ah thats why. Everyone is off baby dancing! Good luck

imkeepingmum · 22/10/2009 20:56

Hello all, still lurking, hoping it's quiet because everyone is busy TTC!!

BrokenBananaTantrum · 21/10/2009 19:26

Its all gone quiet on here again.

How are we doing? I've never felt so bloated as i am this month.

Seaglass for you. Hope you are feeling a little better.

seaglass · 17/10/2009 21:00

Well done imkeepingmum

All my symptoms have gone
Absolutely knackered/feeling sick etc, but think that's because of the trauma of the last few days - my MIL died.
Got to wait til wednesdayish for af.
Feeling pretty bleurgh

Oh, that's fab! So pleased for you.

I'm coming up to ov (next three days or so), so hoping tonight is the night...

Yay congrats!

imkeepingmum · 17/10/2009 10:23

Good luck WestYorkshireGirl!

imkeepingmum · 17/10/2009 10:20

Yes it's our first. DP bounced around the house this morning like an idiot after we'd had a conversation along the following lines:
me: "I think there's a line" DP: "What does that mean?" me: "well that I'm pregnant" DP: "are you sure, check the instructions, why are there two lines"

WestYorkshireGirl · 17/10/2009 09:51

Congrats imkeepingmum! Very good too that it's your first month. Can't remember if it's your first?

Once AF out of the way, have told DH we have to really go for it this month as I am getting impatient. He took it quite well !

BrokenBananaTantrum · 17/10/2009 09:46

Yea yea yea imkeepingmum. That's brilliant.

imkeepingmum · 17/10/2009 09:16

Hi all, tested this morning as AF due and no sign (and am v impatient!), and it was positive!!!!!!!! Had massive and sore boobs for the last week but was trying not to get my hopes up.

Very excited but can't quite believe it as it's only our first month trying!!! Obviously very early days so trying to be realistic (please stay stuck littleimkeepingmum)!

girlsyearapart · 16/10/2009 08:14

Did a test last night. Was negative. Totally ridiculous of me as didn't even wee on it properly but just enough to make test work..

Also too early to test. Oh well that's another wasted test! Must remember not to keep them in the house in future..
