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...

Bugger - no luck this month! Didn't really think it was possible as wasn't much action, but when AF rather slow to arrive I started to get a bit obsessed hopeful.

It's arrived today and whilst not as disappointed as last month, it still feels like a failure . However, DH getting a lot better about being a bit more a part of it -apart from the obvious (he'd previously got a bit stressed out and pressured so I stopped talking about it so much and giving him details etc). On a 31 + day cycle it feels so crushing to know it will be over 4 weeks till we might find out again. Also, a friend has just announced her pregnancy so that always brings it home.

Oh well, I shall retire to bed with my period pains and look forward to my week off next week.

Anyone else got news?

girlsyearapart · 15/10/2009 20:55

hello. nowt to report here. Due on on the 18th so not testing yet. Boobs hurting.

Will keep you posted. Will be very suprised if it happens this month haven't been trying very hard!

BrokenBananaTantrum · 15/10/2009 20:50

I know what you mean stillfrazzled. I feel like more than half my brain is permenantly(sp) obsessing about TTC.

stillfrazzled · 15/10/2009 18:43

Huh. Just done the stupid Babyzone stupid gender predictor.

Apparently, to get the girl I (not-so-secretly) want, it's this month... or March.

And although I know this is essentially horsesh*t, I am quite unreasonably downcast about it. What is it about TTC that makes your sense of logic fly out of the window?

AF has arrived Now at leats I can start charting.

seaglass · 15/10/2009 14:48

I was HKT, but changed, and can't be bothered to change it back

WYG - any news?

I still keep getting heartburn, and I now feel really tired (but that's not really out of the ordinary) and had what might have been implantation bleeding last night, but I'm not sure. And I got freezing the other night, and my right nipple went blue! (seems a bit of a dodgy symptom, I know, but this only ever happened when PG.) I'm finding it very difficult not to build this all up and get excited, because they're probably just random things that I'm only spotting cos I'm thinking about them - IYSWIM!
Still got a week (ish) to go before I'll know one way or another.

Hi all - I'm still lurking!

Am on day 9 of cycle - not sure when I usually ovulate so have instructed DH that we need to get busy every day for the next 9 days

He is very happy

Only problem is that I am away in London on a girle weekend this weekend so will have to do a Friday morning/Sunday evening quickie and hope it works. It was the same last month when DH was on a stag weekend at the key time.

Fingers crossed for next month when we may actually be in the same country for long enough to conceive

stillfrazzled · 13/10/2009 10:42

Hi, I'm on day 6 of the cycle, planning to jump DH tonight and every couple of days till Day 11. Also did my first Persona test this morning, which sadly I was quite excited by.

OMG the waiting game. I hate it. I like the smell symptoms HKT I had a ridiculous sense of smell when pg with DD and it started really early on.

WYG hold on. I wouldn't be able to cos I'm crap but you are a better woman than me I;ve got everything crossed for you.

I'm still waiting for AF to arrive. Only 6 days since I had my implant removed but i want it to arrive now so i can get started. Shouldn't it be here by now? Doc said i was fertile from the moment it came out so why has AF not here???? Sorry ranbling.

WestYorkshireGirl · 12/10/2009 20:58

Hello all

I am on day 28. Cycle for last 3 months has been between 29 and 31 days (although can be up to 35/6). I am actively trying to stop myself from testing to avoid disappointment until the weekend if I can make it that long!!

HKT · 12/10/2009 12:32

I'm doing the waiting game now - about a week and a half to go - so far, the symptoms I'm making up in my head spotting at the moment are heartburn (although probably more likely to be last nights tea than PG) and a bad headache that gets worse with certain smells not sure what that's all about! I usually have a terrible sense of smell, but today I have dog smelling abilities (I don't mean I smell like a dog, just that I can smell like a dog - you know what I mean!)
How's everyone else doing?

BrokenBananaTantrum · 11/10/2009 20:43

How is everyone. Been a bit slow on this thread recently. Updates please?

Winnie78 · 11/10/2009 13:24

Hello Imkeepingmum... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope the next few days waiting aren't too tough. And I hope your AF turns up soon BBT...

imkeepingmum · 11/10/2009 12:12

Winnie78 - I know the feeling, AF due from end of this week also, and finding it really hard to think about anything else (as is DP!)

BrokenBananaTantrum · 11/10/2009 10:29

Strangly can't wait for AF so I can start looking at my cycle. Come on AF!

Winnie78 · 11/10/2009 10:12

Still waiting... I really didn't appreciate how hard it would be. Have had feeling of AF coming for nearly a week now, plus occassional nausea, but no actual sickness, going for a wee loads and most strange really bad wind (sorry, tmi)!! AF due anytime from end of this week, so trying to resist the urge to test. Think AF might put in an early appearance though...

How's everyone else?

nymphadora · 08/10/2009 18:33

Good Luck HKT

HKT · 08/10/2009 11:11

OK, are you all listening - la la la la la la I just can't get you out of my head.....

Were you fooled? Nope, neither was he
We managed a coupling of sorts, so fingers crossed it hit the spot

Nymph, at least you've got something to take your mind off pre-wedding nerves

girlsyearapart · 08/10/2009 07:33

to that!

nymphadora · 08/10/2009 07:32

Well if I'm right my ov day is the day before we get married..........

girlsyearapart · 08/10/2009 07:25

Roll on next month then eh Nymph..

nymphadora · 08/10/2009 07:20

AF arrived today so at least i now have a cycle length and something to work from

BrokenBananaTantrum · 08/10/2009 06:57

Welcome Winnie your symptoms might not be in your head. When I got pg with DD i felt sick too before af was due.

How did it go HKT?

Good to see you back WYG

Winnie78 · 07/10/2009 22:01

Hi HKT... Shouldn't really test before Oct 18th, so a while to wait yet.. Good luck with the DH tonight, I'm sure he won't be able to resist!

HKT · 07/10/2009 21:35

Hello Winnie
Hope your symptoms are real and not just in your head - when will you test?

I'm fairly sure I've OV'ed today (god, I sound as neurotic as my sister ) and unfortunately DH is knackered. I'm going to have to pretend to be really sexy and alluring, which is going to be pretty bloody impossible. I may have to blindfold him and pretend to be Kylie Minogue He's having a little sleep in the bath right now, so wish me luck
