Trying for a Spring baby

Just checking in to say I'm thinking of you MandM (and Dana??) when you test today.

Got everything crossed for you!!

xx

2Girls, you're on the same sort of dates as me I think and you're making me v tempted to test now! I'm planning to test on Thursday (CD28) - need to get it done before we go on holiday with the in-laws next weekend (no keeping it to ourselves there then, IF anything to keep to ourselves that is ) Will be really gutted if I don't get a +'ve result this month. Can't tell if I'm having symptoms or not... swaying madly between convinced I am and convinced its all in my head

Good luck on Sunday MandM (and Dana... )

No, nothing yet. Am getting so impatient
Have AF pains on/off. Also feels like someone is sitting on my bladder and need to pee every hour or so. Hmmmmm...
Probably just my mind playing tricks on me

Thanx MandM & Dana. Been looking thru other threads and getting some thougts from those. Am trying not to get hopes up for this month, but its so hard ! In the meantime thou plenty of BD - haven't been using temps or sticks yet to determine when ov, but it may well come to that in a few months !!!!!! Think will prob give gp a call too for some advice.
Thanx again s and good luckto anyone testing over the weekend.

Just wishing everybody a nice weekend. I'll be crossing my fingers for you on Sunday, MandM and will check in again on Monday - good luck!!

Welcome Abbeyvale.
It is possible to bleed - especially in early pregnancy - but since you had 2 positives, then bleeding, then a negative, it sounds like you might have been pg but had an early miscarriage. Sorry to say that

I might be wrong though. Maybe you could give your gp a call for some advice? Sure you will also get lots of advice and support from all the wise MNers

Hi all,
new to mumsnet and hoping to be around for a while. been checking previous threads to look for some answers. TTC for the past two months after coming off pill.have DS who is 22 months.had crazy weekend two weeks ago which i knew would involve lots of drink and as AF was due on the friday did a test that pm & got +ive result.another the next morning also +ive.so didn't touch a drop all weekend.then tues am AF arrived !!!!did another test just to be sure and it was -ive. was so disappointed as we were really excited.been BD past few nights as think am ovulating and then this morning get light bleed!is this implantation bleed?can you be pregnant and still have AF?am quite confused!!DS was happy surprise so have no experience of "TTC".

Sounds lovely homemama. Have a great holiday

Welcome back Sarjon! Can't remember when everyone is due so good luck with B'Ding and testing to all this next wk as we're off to family cottage on Isle of Wight for 10 days.
MandM, I know you're peeing on a stick on Sunday morn so good luck to you!
Dana, hope AF arrives soon so you can get on with the good stuff
Hope to come back to good news from some of you!!

Sarjon, welcome back. Hope you had a good holiday! Sorry about Af arriving, but sounds like you and DH are in for a couple of fun days

2girls, when is af due? Hope your symptoms are all true...

lilaclotus, you husband sounds very sweet

lol at dropping the ov stick in the loo homemama I am useless at peeing on sticks too.

Gailey, there's a whole thread (also under conception) dedicated to the girl/boy timing question.

MandM, any sign of af yet? You were due today, right? Hope she doesn't show!!

Same old, same old here. Still no af, and pains have gone again. Am getting pretty fed up with it now but suppose I should just try not to think about it...easier said than done though..

Hello everyone, haven't been on here for a while as have been on holiday (1st anniverary with DH and af arrives the 1st day of holiday - typical!)

Just to recap am ttc 1st baby and am only in 1st month of trying. Have finally caved in and am now using fertilityfriend.com to try and keep track of where my cycle is at (apparently cd12 so time to start the action!!). Actually finding it v interesting knowing exactly where and what my body is doing as have only ever seen af as a nusiance (sp.) before now so can appreciate where your dp is, ahem, coming from lilaclotus!!!.. Sorry, rambling now....

Anyway, good luck to you all, xx

welcome missbehaven!

as AF went yesterday we had our first go at BDing (a bit early i know but we need to get practice!). two things about this: 1. dp was cross because i didn't lie on the bed with my legs in the air afterwards 2. he said it was much more fun when sex actually had a purpose. lovely, isn't he!

Hello MissBehaven,
this is my first month of ttc again. and I'm just waiting to pg test. I think next week will definitely show if I am or not - but in the meantime I have gone mad, I am testing every day even though I KNOW that it is way, way too early but because it's a BFN I'm convinced that I'm not pregnant, even though I'm having loads of symptoms. Confused?..I am!!!

Hi girls! No OV yet, according to the sticks! Had to use two sticks this morning as I'm not very good at the hovering to pee thing and I dropped the first stick down the loo!!!
CD14 tomorrow so hopefully I'll get the line!

Sorry Dana Hope AF comes soon then you can get on with it again.
Welcome to everyone new.

Thanks girls, ive not been on the pill since i stopped taking it when i fell pregnant before. We just thought of it as "if it happens, great!" But now we really do want another as we (think) we're ready now...

Sorry that was quite a long message without really adding any value

They just came round with ice cream for everybody in the office because it's so warm. I do love my work

Welcome Missbehaven (like the name). This is only my first month of trying, so probably can't offer you the best advice. But from what I have read and heard there is no need to worry until you have been trying for at least a year. Think according to statistics something like 85-90% of couples fall pg within the first year of trying. My friend recently went to the docs after a year with no luck and was told to come back 6 months later if still nothing.
I think a few of the girls on the "aprilbabyshowers"-thread have been trying for a while, so maybe they will be able to give you some better advice and good tips.

Dana - I hope something shows up soon for you.

Welcome Missbehaven, can depend if you have just stopped taking the pill or other contraceptive. I had my last inj in Dec, and only just started to get AF back, hopefully this month will OV will also show. On CD7 hopefully next week will be a good one.

Does anyone have any comments on the BD dates for concieving a boy or girl? have found out it is best BD times close to OV for a boy, anyone know if this is true?

Ive not read all your posts yet and im new to this but here goes. I fell pregnant with my first just a couple of months after meeting my hubby. That was 5 years ago! We decided last november to try for no. 2 but its just not happening! Should I be concerned? Any tips? (Apart from the obvious?)Thanks girls..

MandM, I like your optimism but think it is unlikely as I am on CD39. It should be showing up on a pg test by now. Think my cycle is just messed up because of the pill . Also am getting af-type pains again today, so might be starting today or tomorrow. I hope so!

Fingers crossed for you at the weekend. Hope af (yours) doesn't show up before then.

thanks MrsQ, I'm doing well so far, I haven't tested temps, I don't know when I am due on, I'm not calculating ovulation and I am starting a new diet to help me lose some weight. I will keep myself distracted.

Sorry about bnf dana and MandM, our month will come!
