Trying for a Spring baby

cadmum, congratulations!!! wish you all the best {{hug}}

Well done Cadmum, all the best for a happy, healthy pregnancy and birth!

congrats cadmum, hope its a healthy pregnancy and a healthy happy baby at the end of it.

I just thought that I would drop in to say that I got my BFP yesterday! Sorry that my stay here was a short one. I wish you all the best with your TTC quests.

angelp - I have my fingers crossed for you!

flamesparrow - how are you doing?

I am TTC too. One DD nearly 2. This will be first month of TTC - we've been talking about it for ages but been a bit rubbish at going for it. Got AF at the mo so next couple weeks will be busy!

Good luck to all you guys. Sending more dust your way!!!

I'm getting a little over excited now, am on cd45, 11 days overdue, and I have already worked out due 28th feb, please keep your fingers crossed for me, due to lack of bfp have got doctors appointment for friday.

Know exactly what u mean - have worked through various combinations of dates: due dates, due dates + the number of days I was overdue with ds, 40 weeks from days had BD etc etc for the last few AFs. Now luckily have so many dates floating around they're all merging into one a bit and I keep forgetting them.

Welcome bubble99
Just checked and as AF arrived yesterday, if I manage to get pg this month, my EDD will be April 7th. I probably shouldn't have done that as I'll just be disappointed but you guys all know what it's like.

Sorry Mrs Q, if it's any comfort, at least we'll probably all be thinking of each other!

Morning All. Welcome on board bubble99. Slight complication to report... now not only do I have to concentrate on 'mm, that's nice' rather than 'pls get pg, pls get pg', it seems I also have to try block Jen1209 and Lovecloud saying the same things out of my head! Very disconcerting x

Can I join you? I'm waiting for AF after having DT1 four and a half months ago. I'm still BF but I'm desperate to conceive again asap.

OK Lovecloud, sorry for 2 things: -

1. Spelt your name wrong
2. Have just noticed you have a dd!

Am going to teach myself powers of observation over the weekend!

Hey Lovelcloud, thanks for the baby dust!

I've heard the whole "relax" thing several times too and it might work but is enormously difficult to when you want a baby beany so badly!

Know exactly what you mean, my head starts filling up with thoughts of "swim boys swim" not "ooooh, that's nice"!!!!!!!! - makes it v difficult to concentrate!!!

This is baby no 1, had a m/c nearly 4 years ago and have just had 21 day blood tests as have been ttc for a year. Think I remember you saying you had a baby already??? Your DH sounds as though he is not too against the idea - good luck! (maybe you needn't have cooked the special meal - tee hee)

Thank you - sending heaps of lucky love & baby fairy dust your way

All week I have been going on about babies to my dh and he kept saying it was not the right time and we need a few more months to sort out our finances etc. When I called him today to tell him the horrible period had come he sounded disappointed which is great! So maybe I will not need to do any convincing anyway

Is this your first or second baby? I am worried that if I get too obsessed with this whole thing I will make conceiving harder as I have heard people say that when they relaxed and did not try so hard it happended. I just hope that everytime I make love now I wont be thinking, "come on little sperm, I know you can do - head for the egg!" instead of thinking "oooh ahhh, i like that.. harder" i may never orgasm again!!!

Cheap tests & ov tests

Hi Lovecloud - sorry to hear your news. Don't know how to draw baby dust so am sending you the special invisible kind (can you send some back? ) I know how you feel although have been ttc for a year.

I haven't been on MN for 2 days and have missed loads!

Good luck with the meal tonight - my DP has gone out so I'm eating rubbish and watching nonsense!!!

Used OP stick for the first time today - was almost as impatient for the result as pg test with ds. No go yet tho - which is probably just as well as dh is working this weekend and I'm cream crackered tonight and would have struggled to stay awake for BD. I got CB sticks from Boots and got a second CB product half price - optimistically chose a pg test!

Know what you mean homemama - it's my first month and already desperate I bought loads tests but got them off ebay. Got 10 tests for 7.95 I saw the clearblue ones in the chemist 7 or 8 for 19.99. I assume that they work ok and are not dud ones!!

I couldn't leave it to chance. I've gone and bought some op kits. £20 for 7 sticks! DH will not be impressed as a) too clinical for him b) we're moving house soon and £20 for some sticks to pee on wont be seen as a necessary purchase.
Oh well, desperate times and all that!!! (she says after 1mth og trying)
Welcome to anyone new that I've not greeted yet!

DAMN.. been on here the last week as again I thought Iwas pregnant, three tests later, sickness for the last 4 days and the horrible period has started !!!

I have not been ttc properly but I hope all the time and every month feel down.

I am starting to think maybe I cant, my body has had enough chances, I have not used contraception since birth of dd except for the withdrawl method and that is not always used.

I keep hoping though that maybe I still am, I had period when pregnant with dd. I had white discharge this morning and then later today, brown blood which had slowly changed to red and lots of cramps!!!

Someone sprinkle me with some dust, so if I was to actively ttc i will need to get on down in 14 days from today? My ovulation date will be Thursday 14th June. Right I am going to have to make a romantic meal tonight and persuade my partner that there never is a right time and that I just cant wait anymore but I want him to feel the same way...

I held a 9 week old baby girl today and i got so emotional I could not speak, my eyes welled up. Her mother must of thought i was mad.

Flamesparrow - congratulations, I'm so impressed by your self-restraint!

Homemama - I'm jealous of your AF! Still gazing longingly at my box of clomid.

yay lilaclotus, have lots of babydust to get you going.

well girls, i've been to the doctor. he's given me a go ahead to start trying! he said i don't have to wait after going of the stomach pills (or the pill either). after AF in 10 days we can start properly.
