A new recruit for the TTC club

Thanks girlsyear, yeah I know lol but i do have a nice MIL, think im one of the lucky ones.
10lb is quite large, did she have a VB?

Good luck Tish can't believe only person who knows is your MIL! That's a turn up for the anti MIL ers on here.
Sparechange- think you have to do each word separately to cross out.
One of my best friends had her 1st baby yesterday 10lb5!!!

Hi all,

Im TTC#1, came off the pill about 3 weeks ago. No AF as yet so could go either way, playing the waiting game just like alot of others. Still going to try and make myself wait at least another 2 weeks before testing (as long as AF doesnt come before that)
Only MIL knows we're TTC as she is v excited about it!

Update: still got this stitch-like pain in my left side and also now a sort of bubbling/grumbling sensation in my lower abdomen. (TMI warning) when I went to the loo I noticed a dollop of EWCM, which is odd for me at this point in my cycle - I'd expect to have none right now, and certainly not the runny sort - so I think tomorrow am is going to be testing time for me.

Fingers crossed!

Today feeling wobbly, bloated and with a stitch-like pain in my side. If am not pg but in fact coming down with something days before my one holiday of the year, I will be very !

ooh, why didn't that work
does this work?

No news here, other than I got a leeetle bit roaring drunk tipsy last night and told my best mate that we are ttc
She got hysterically excited and phoned me at 8am today to say she is going to suggest to her dh that they start to try, because being on maternity leave together would be fun
Somehow it feels the pressure is now on!

Still haven't noticed anything even with black knickers! Maybe I actually have to try looking!

Hmmm maybe a bit of nooky will cheer me up - could be just the tonic I need!!

Any news from the girls in our gang?

Heh, hardly an oracle - I've just been doing A LOT of reading on CM in the last 2-3 days!

Apparently having a cold can affect not just the mucus production in your nose, but elsewhere too. That's just something I read online, but as it is quite early in your cycle maybe it's just a coldy side-effect?

Still, no harm in having a go with your other half if you can manage it despite feeling yeuchy

I have 2 days off work and guess, what? I get a bad cold . Feeling miserable at home with sore throat, headache and blanket, but have noticed CWM - does this mean I should cast off the blanket and get busy today and next day or two? The words 'sod' and 'law' come to mind..... Tickledpeanut - you seem the oracle on CWM - what do you think?

Hi newcomers!

Sorry earoma, I have no idea. Maybe wait a few days and test again?

I have only told a friend at work in RL - she's viewing me as a test pilot for pregnancy, so I have to let her know how I'm getting on every day. Really scared to admit to my parents that I'm trying (not sure they'd approve) so would wait until it was 3-months definite.

TMI symptom report: yellow cervical mucus, not unlike when you've got a bad cold (eeuw I know, sorry!). Not lots, but consistently for the last couple of days. Haven't had it before I don't think, and don't feel uncomfortable as I would expect to if it was an infection. Anyone had this or heard of this when TTC or actually pg? Thanks!

hi girls was wondering if you could help this is my first post i have a short 26 day cycle and had a day 19 prog result of 49 have been feeling sick the last couple of days and my temp has remained high since ovulation except for a small dip on day 20 was feeling quite positive as we've been trying for a year now but did a test today and got a BFN so confused as too what my bodies up too i'm 38 and begining to feel so dejected but my day 3 results were also good this month i don't know what to do any help please

My dad has also asked us to go on holiday with him and my stepmum in May - they've 'booked' his SIL's villa in Spain

I provisionally agreed and said that we might be TTC in 2010...no-one knows that we have started early.

No-one in RL knows....not sure how I would keep it from my bezzie mate if AF doesn't arrive - I'm her bridesmaid in November.

Have told 1 friend.See her most days she would spot it a mile off if I was pg. Wouldn't tell anyone else.
My dds are only 1 and 2 and both my parents a
and my mil would think NOOOOO! Leave it at 2.
EAsier to present them with the 'I'm Pregnant' fact I reckon.
Can't you make something up about money/work/possible wedding invite?

Hello nichy
hello girls
Is anyone else telling anyone in RL?
My dad phoned me last night to ask if we want to go on holiday with them next summer.
It was about all I could do to stop myself blurting "well with any luck, I'm not going to be in any fit state to travel by then"

Hello can I join too?

We are trying for a 3rd.

came off the pill about a fortnight ago.

We were going to wait a while longer but fil had major heart attack this week and I decided that life's too short! (he gets out of hosp today so things looking better)

First two pregnancies happened the first month of trying so I'm trying not to expect lightening to strike 3 times over..

Hi ladies - can I join too!! Am confused by all the acronyms on the longer boards and would feel a bit of a fraud posting there!

I'm 29 and TTC#1. Month 2 of trying (although month 1 doesn't really count as we only started having unprotected sex the week after I think I ovulated). According to the MN ovulation calculator I ovulated last weekend (cue mad bouts of furious sex so am now waiting for AF.

Have got lots of hen weekends and weddings in the coming months so probably not the best time to be secretly avoiding alcohol (haven't told anyone in RL that we are TTC)

Hi Nymphadora

I'll add my tmi for you in case that helps too.

The 'egg white' consistency mucus for me means that I will ovulate the next day or the day after, so it's a sign to get busy!

It just appears about day 12ish of my cycle every month but it saves on predictor tests!

Hope this helps.......

(This whole post is probably TMI - but then, is anything really TMI on this thread?)

Nymphadora I can only speak from personal experience, but in my case cervical mucus just appears. The quantity probably varies, like all things, between people, but I notice it on my knicker gusset. Wearing black knickers helps, especially when it comes to distinguishing between the white stuff and the clear stuff! It's white and sticky for a few days for me, then goes clearer and slippery - most commonly compared to egg white (the EWCM abbreviation you might see on other threads refers to 'egg-white cervical mucus' I think) for a few days before going back to white and sticky. I then have a few days of nothing much at all before AF arrives and again after AF has finished before the whole thing kicks off again. Hope that helps!

Good question nymphadora! Wish I knew the answer...

I am seriously confused by the
mucus thing , am I supposed to go looking for it or does it just appear?
