Have just read all the thread! Congratulations Flamesparrow!!!!!! Hope your good luck rubs off on all of us!
likklemum - I conceived dd2 when dd1 was 3 months (so not planned)There is 10 1/2 mths gap. Great now, but very hard and very tiring when they were small (but worth it I need to add!)

2GIRLS · 01/07/2005 11:19

Hi everyone, I'm new here and ttc number 3. THis is the first month of trying but I'm not leaving anything to chance - I've got my supply of ovulation tests so just waiting.... I've already got 2 DD's 4 & 5 yrs.

YAY FS - so when does that make u due?

homemama · 01/07/2005 11:01

Well done Flame!!!
Not surprised, you were too bloody jolly!

Flamesparrow · 01/07/2005 11:01

Yes - tested the day before it would have been due had I still been on the pill... I had been crying at DD begging her to sleep because I was so tired, so thought I should test...

Didn't think it would be positive though, so I threw it away without waiting!!! Checked an hour later

Only symptom was tiredness.

My sister was great - she was a bit funny with DD (I'm the younger one, so threw her by falling pregnant first), but she says that now I've got one, its not odd anymore.

Dana · 01/07/2005 10:47

Gives me hope, that it could be poss for me as well first month off the pill Did you test the day before AF would have been due, if still on the pill?

Were you surprised or did you have any symptoms before testing? Have you got used to the thought yet? What did your sister say?

Sorry for all the questions, just being nosy

Flamesparrow · 01/07/2005 10:24

Yup - first month! I will have to warn B when she is older that our family seem to fall pregnant very easily

Dana · 01/07/2005 10:23

Ha, I knew it!!! Congratulations Flame . So happy for you. can't remember, was that first month of trying?

I think I missed somewhere along the way why you had to keep it a secret until today, but am absolutely amazed that you did!!

Flamesparrow · 01/07/2005 10:09

You guys have only been waiting for a week...

I tested the day before AF was due, and I've had to keep it all bottled up for TWO WEEKS

Flamesparrow · 01/07/2005 10:01

StarryEyed - I am so sorry , it's just the worst feeling in the world. If you feel like having a break from constantly talking and thinking about ttc then that's what you should do, we'll be here for you when you get back . If you decide you want to talk about it, we'll be here for you anyway . Thinking of you x

Likklemum - welcome!

Homemama - that's brilliant news. Now it's here, you need to get rid of it and get started!!!!!

Dana · 01/07/2005 09:19

Great news, homemama. So pleased for you

likklemum, you are more than welcome here. I know several people who have kids with just one year between, so don't think you are being too optimistic at all...good luck.

Flame dear, we're waiting... (impatiently tapping fingernails on desk )

Dana · 01/07/2005 08:52

Oh Starry, so sorry to hear that, and sorry that it is getting you down so much Hope you will come back to us, when you're feeling a bit better - or at least let us know about any good news in the future...

homemama · 01/07/2005 08:31

Likklemum, this is my first AF since stopping BF when my DS was 6mths. He's now 8mths. I'd quite like 2 sons close together but any flavour beanie will do!

homemama · 01/07/2005 08:28

AF finally arrived today! Yippeeeee!!!!!!!!!
The counting begins!

likklemum · 01/07/2005 00:20

ps. got my fingers and toes crossed for all you ladies waiting on positive signs from the stick Gods!

likklemum · 01/07/2005 00:19

hi girls. Sorry to gate-crash. I think i might be being a bit too optimistic as ds1 is 3months and am fully bfeeding. But i want to bang out this kiddie-winkles quick so i can enjoy them together. What do you reckon my chances are? Shall i wait til there's a ttc for summer thread?

MrsQ · 30/06/2005 23:57

OK ladies, having just watched Miranda's babyshower episode of SATC on E4+1 and in light of limited time available this month, I shall be wee sticking for the first time tomorrow morning to see if I'm ov'ing yet and therefore in for a weekend of BD'ing... which should at least give us something to think about whilst waiting for Flamesparrow and Cadmum's results I guess

homemama · 30/06/2005 19:19

So sorry Starry. Lots of hugs.

munz · 30/06/2005 16:35

lilaclotus · 30/06/2005 14:57
