Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Hi all,

Can I please join??

I had a missed miscarriage 5 weeks ago and started ttc again as soon as the bleeding had stopped which was about 4 weeks ago. My dr told me that it was ok to ttc again straight away as it took over a year for me to conceive as i have PCOS.

I still haven't had AF and was hoping it was because I was pregnant again but I just took a test and it was negative. I feel really sad and fed up, i know it's still very soon but the thought of having to wait another year really depresses me, I feel like giving up on the whole ttc thing

Sorry for the long post x

Humphreys - i've had that before a long time ago, have no idea what it was but it went away on its own. Guess you will just have to make sure you keep it clean down there and don't wear anything that will rub it, Thongs, Jeans maybe.

Hi, I hope you guys dont mind me hanging around this thread for the forseeable future. I havent come to grips with it yet.

Diddle, I have heard of people having success with reflexology too. I didnt try it as I hate anyone touching my feet.

The needles with Acupuncture do hurt a bit. Not enough to put me off though.
For TTC they put the needles in the hands, lower legs and feet. Good luck to everyone who is testing.

strike1 · 25/08/2005 10:09

Morning all.

Well done for not testing Diddle! As you say, if it doesn't happen this month I might try something alternative, to help keep my mind focused more than anything else. I bet this is your month though, you seems so relaxed with it all. Are you going to wait until your af is late, or test tomorrow.....oh I'm getting so excited for you

HC, never heard of a swollen lip before, could you have got a small cut down there, cause that happen to me before and it really hurt for two days then when away, no idea how it happened though!

Good work Lunasea, now you're really on the right track! You'll be pg in no time. It feels good to be activly doing something doesn't it, so glad you dump your rubbish gp.

HumphreysCorner · 25/08/2005 08:50

Morning ladies on this much better day than yesterday weatherwise!

auntynon-the best news ever getting your first AF post MC-get moving on girl! ((xx))

Well, I am 7 days late today and yet another BFN so let's face it girls-I can't be PG. Best not waste anymore tests as it is costing me a small fortune. I had better just wait for my next AF in 3 weeks so will start BD now. Problem is (TMI coming up) I seem to have a swollen outer lip down below (think that's what you call them-was never any good at biology). Last night it suddenly hurt and when I looked one side was twice the size of the other! Most painful. I AM DROPPING TO BITS!

Going to Rand Farm Park near Wragby today with my SIL and 2 nephews-I think DD will love it. Hope I can find it as I've never been so if you see a silver Astra going round in circles you will know I'm lost! At least it will give me a day off from worrying about my missing AF.

Have a lovely day all.

((xx))

morning Ladies,
Hope you're all ok. I'm going to make an appointment for some reflexology i think. See if it can give me a boost into the ttc lark.

still not tested, i am so proud of msyelf, AF is due tomorrow, and i'm pretty sure she;s going to show. no confidence in conceiving this month, not sure why because we BD at the right time, i think. very weird.

Lovely and sunny here today, and although 've already been working for 2 hours, I get an early finish this afternoon, 3 pm. can't wait.

Congratulations to all the BFP and welcome to all the new people on the thread. I have been v. busy over the last couple of weeks, work, dd being christened etc, not had chance to post or even lurk. Have tried to catch up on thread, loads has happened. My M/C was on 31st July and AF has arrived today, hurray!!!!! I can work out BD days and get on with TTC. Got fed up with ov tests and temp when TTC before, observing CM has worked for me in the past (2 pg). Off to work out BD days!!!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 24/08/2005 21:31

sunnyside - sounds like you're on the right tracks then, glad it went well.

Maddyd - not a fan of needles so might avoid the acupuncture, had to have it on my knee last year and it did hurt. Might investigate reflexology though sounds good.
Those first few days are great aren't they, so jealous, but very happy for Cori, lucky thing. I'm sure she's a bundle of nerves though

OP posts:
sunnyside · 24/08/2005 20:14

Cori - So chuffed for you!

I've been to see diabetes consultant today and she was fab! She's put me on metformin which should help lessen risk of m/c I think. Gotta look it up cos she gave me so much info and reason to be positive that I've forgotten loads of it!!!

Lets see some more BFPs now that Cori's got us going!

maddyd · 24/08/2005 20:04

Know nothing of it Diddle. I dont think it hurst. You could try reflexology.

You need Cori back but shell be off celebrating, bless her. Its such an amazing feeling thise first few days. [nostalgicface]

I was offered accupunture by my chinese Doc but didnt fancy it. My latest fad is Royal jelly. Gillien Kieth swears by it. Fingers crossed.

Hi Everyone
Yes I have tested again. Still BFP .
I told DH first thing this morning, he had just left the house and was on his way to work. I dont think he believed me really...

Maddyd, I have only been try for 2 months this time ( last time was 7 months). I am putting my success down to Acupuncture. I had acupuncture straight after M/C, then had a break for a while as the therapist went on holiday. I went back three weeks ago specifically for TTC. I have another session tonight. Now I hope she can help me keep it and stop me turning into a complete neurotic nightmare.
I feel OK now. Symptoms... a bit tired, and tender breasts. Felt sick earlier on but think that is due to nerves more than anything.

Arabica, thanks for your message. Are you going to the big Christmas meetup in London? Would be nice to see you again if you are up for it.

lunarsea - thats excellent news, about time too. I bet you feel really excited, that brillaint, i'm thrilled for you.

Maddyd - yes i do know what you mean. If i hear anyone moaning about pregnancy I can't help but wish i felt like that.

Well i am knackered already and its only 6.00. these kids are wearing me out. I could honestly go to sleep right now. Must have an earlyish night, after watching lost of course and supernanny. my first kiddie comes at 6.50am tomorrow, just the thought of it makes me want to curl up in my comfy pj's and close my eyes.
anyway, thats enough waffling from me, off to get some grocery.

congrats again cori. have you told DH, have you tested again???

Fab news Lunarsea - am sure it will be worth every penny if it has the desired effect.

LunarSea · 24/08/2005 17:36

Back from the consultant, and have gone from nothing happening to everything in one fell swoop! Sperm test for DH, blood tests for both of us, ovarian scan, clomid, and monitoring scans (oh and a big bill - but at least we're getting somewhere now).

maddyd · 24/08/2005 16:55

maddyd · 24/08/2005 16:55

Cori are you still up on clud nine, Bless

How long have you been trying this time? Have you told hubby yet?

maddyd · 24/08/2005 16:51

Afternoon all. How you feeling chocolatepeanut. Theres still a chance you ovd though just missed it with your wee sticks. Dont give up hope just yet. As for cm you cant rely on that too much (a bit like men) as it changes after baths, sex if youve been swimming that kind of stuff. Have you chatted to Shelly at all? I hope shes doing ok, i inagine shes on a due in thread now.

Diddle i love my new diet. After you have done it a while it becomes second nature. I dont crave sweet things any more. Ive had my go ahead bars in the cupboard just in case but only had one a week so far. Im addicted to low cal cup a soups as they fill me up. Hope i can continue when and if i get pregnant so then it will be easier to get back into shape. Not that i care as i just want to be pregnant and fat. I listen to my friends moaning about the heat, wieght, feeling sick and how the baby is lieing uncomfatably and i just think they are so lucky, so stop moaning. Still happy for them though but you know what i mean dont you
