Hi all
I didn't want to hop on a bus because i'm not really aiming for a specific month to have a baby in so i thought i'd start a general "trying to conceive a 2011 baby" and see if anyone wants to join me :D

Hi camilla welcome!

2ww Boooo! Symptom spotting Booooo!:) Anyone due to poas? I think I am 6dpo not due on until the 28th and I don't think I will test until I am late,( don't think I will be I have decided next month is my month!).

mslk swi'ing?

iwish are you still a sex pest?

Shuffle pup has been an angel today and even brought me a tasty rotten apple she found on her walk when I called her back to me! And her poor retrieval skills are partly what got me so mad the other day!

Iwish · 20/01/2011 20:38

lol Shuffle i will be your coach! i got some 10mlu pg tests with my opks which are the most sensitive tests. which ones have you got? You must have some will power not POAS before AF is due! im planning on testing at 10/11 dpo!!

Weimy You must have will power too! i think i POAS 3 times last month and about 4 the month before lol! i only had a 11 day LP last month so i fugure i should wait but id have to hide the tests from myself, ive got about 15 of them! Nope not being a sex pest now, DP will be surfing the internet for a chastity belt for men BlushGrin
I hope this is your month, it often happens when you least expect it.

aaargh i wish my usual symptoms after OV woulod bugger off and give me chance to symptom spot! i get sore boobs and cramps from OV and its so damn annoying!!

.....and breathe.

mslk · 20/01/2011 21:02

Evening ladies, how is everyone?

Welcome Camilla

Managed to DTD Tuesday, so hoping we timed it right as all fertile signs have now vanished. So that puts me in the 2WW, just waiting for FF to confirm I OV'd.

Going to try and keep busy and not symptom spot but already feel things are active in the right area, IYKWIM. Had these feeling 1st cycle too so not getting my hopes up.

mslk · 20/01/2011 21:14

sorry, missed reading these last few posts before my post! I must concentrate and try harder!! Grin

Hi Shuffle, I don't plan to test until AF is late too.

Weimy this could be your month, positive thinking and all that.

Iwish sounds like we need to get your DP to hide your tests!! Grin they are too tempting knowing they are there!

Think we all might need to help each other not POAS before AF is due! Smile

Iwish · 20/01/2011 22:07

Hi mslk can you post your chart for me? I havnt got yours bookmarked so i cant stalk you.
Yeh you will have to keep me from POAS! I'm already thinking about when I can test.

mslk · 21/01/2011 07:58

morning Iwish Just had a bit of a moment on the charters thread, not sure my chart shows i'm in working order Sad

Summerbird73 · 21/01/2011 10:48

oi oiii - i lost you sex pests (thread disappeared from my list!).

anyway i was awol because me and DH have been SWI like rabbits - 6 times in the space of 8 days!! Blush by the last time we were knackered!! I was a definite advocate of the sex pests!

Anyway i am now 3DPO and on the dreaded 2WW Confused. DH Laughed at me this morning as i said 'oo i am convinced my boobs are sensitive/hard/sore' i swore i wouldnt do this but i am obsessive symptom spotting already!

I bought a decaff latte in honour of the 2WW this morning and it was nothing like the real thing Sad

Anyway - need to catch up on everyone's updates but am at work at mo so will catch you all later Smile

Summerbird73 · 21/01/2011 10:51

LOL just read IWish's latest posts - i am not alone! I might test on 11DPO too!

Iwish · 21/01/2011 12:46

Hi mslk I've sent you a little reply on the charters thread. I'm not sure about your chart, it's Confused me. I'm sure the charting ladies will help.

Flippin eck summerbird you have done a lot of SWI!! I knight thee a sex pest!!
You made me Grin with the boobs symptom!! I do the same but ATM am 5dpo and no symptoms to spot - BORING!! You can be my POAS buddy with mslk
I drink caffeine free coffee and tea at home all the time, have been for about 5 months and it's not too bad but I have to say I never buy from coffee shops.

weimy · 21/01/2011 16:13

Hi ladies!

Happy Friday!

Yes I am a bit tired of swi now too!

summerbird 6 times? You are dedicated lol.

I am symptom spotting now too, dpo 7 and sore boobs and funny cramps, but it was like this last cycle too.Iwish no will power here it's all talk!!!But I am pretty sure I am out this month not upset tho I'm sleeping badly worrying about taking my temp and I think my chart is total fabrication!

:)

25babalou · 21/01/2011 17:07

Hi everyone, it's so reassuring to hear I am not the only 1 going mad symptom spotting! lol It was so much easier with DD as she was a wonderful surprise, no worry of cycles and ovulation etc, to obsess over! Smile

weimy my Af is also due 28th, which is my bday so hoping i get the present i want. Good luck to all TTC xx

effyzm · 21/01/2011 17:37

hello hope you don't mind me joining in Smile i am TTC #2 i have 2yo ds and didnt want a big age gap. its only our second cycle but also our last as dp is leaving for 8mths with the army.

AF is also due on the 28th but wont be testing until 29th lol.im slightly crazy with symptom spotting too only thing i can boast about is slightly sore boobs but its probably just my imagination.

so here's to every one having babies in 2011!!

mslk · 21/01/2011 20:09

Evening all

Summer that is very good going!!!

Welcome effy

How are you doing Weimy, babalou, Iwish, shuffle sorry if I've missed anyone.

I've been feeling a bit sicky and crampy today. And feeling even more sicky now. Didn't get this last cycle but did get the flu instead. But did feel like this the 1st cycle. The silly thing is I still don't know for sure if I have actually OV'd.

weimy · 21/01/2011 21:14

25babalou effyzm welcome! Funny we are all due ertd at the same time lol I am ttc 1 and mid 30s (boo!)this is my second cycle of ttc.

evening Iwish, shuffle, mslk!:)

effyzm · 21/01/2011 21:32

so early days weimy early days for you too.

so maybe me,you and 25babalou will all be testing on Sat 29th?? any1 else testing on Sat?

mslk nausea is a good sign when is AF due?

mslk · 21/01/2011 22:20

Hi effy AF is due on the 27th if I have a middle of the road cycle, but could just as easily be 2 or 3 days either side?! Which is not much help Grin

Looks like there are good few of us al due AF around the same sort of time thought Smile

mslk · 21/01/2011 22:22

Sorry for typos!

shufflebum · 22/01/2011 07:44

Hi all just checking in quickly so forgive if I don't namecheck individually, DS has been up since 5am, now questioning why we are TTC!
I'm trying not to think about testing and just want to wait and see but we'll see how long my willpower holds! Not long now though so fingers crossed.
Have a good day everyone, trip to the park then work for me this afternoon.

SouthvilleBeeHive · 22/01/2011 08:58

Hi, hope it's ok to pitch in, we also have a (nearly) 2 year DD and are ttc. Like several of you here, af due on 28th as well and I'm trying to hang on and resist the urge to take tests that I know will be negative at this stage Grin

OH is hugely stressed with work and it's difficult to be in the same room at the same time at the moment, let alone dtd at the right time Wink

Have sore boobs at the moment, but have had a small girl clambering all over me so could just be a bit bruised lol. Also, can't really remember when/what symptoms I had last time, so it was only when a friend raised her eyebrows when my DD leant on my chest again that made me wonder-now, obviously, I can't stop obsessing Grin

Sorry for going on a bit!
Hope you all have a great weekend

25babalou · 22/01/2011 10:43

hey effyzm yeah probs will test on 29th but hopefully will wait till the 30th unless AF arrives in the meantime. This is my 1st cycle and don't want to get in to the habit of compulsive POAS just yetWink, although not sure if i will have the will power xx

weimy · 22/01/2011 13:14

Hi all

welcome Southville!

Sorry about lack of sleep Shuffle :( I was up cleaning poop about that time! But got to go back to bed :)

Yes I will try to hold off until the 29th if ertd does not get me before that.It seems a really long way off though, felt very queasy this morning tho it has eased off now. I was like this last time and think it is anxiety, as I am blatently kidding myself about not having my hopes up.

Hope you Sat is going well!

SouthvilleBeeHive · 22/01/2011 15:51

Hi all,

Thanks weimy :)

I'm trying really hard to stick to my plan of not poas till 29th as well, but have some cheap tests that I'm looking at thinking 'well, they're only cheap, I'll just get some more'! Of course because they're the cheap ones they're probably as much use as a chocolate tea pot for early testing :o

Anyone know where I can go to get some willpower?

:) :) :) :)

Iwish · 22/01/2011 17:40

Flippin eck you lot have been busy!!

Welcome 25baba Effy South! We are all v friendly, just nutty sex pests Grin

Hi Weimy Mslk Summer and Shuffle.

Mslk ive been a bit sicky and crampy too, but unfortunatly it seems to be the norm for me. :(

Shuffle you poor thing, 5am! Hope you enjoyed the park :)

Weimy i dont envy the poo picking up! we were going to get a puppy but decided against it, i love dogs, they are so loving but will make do with seeing my mums dogs.

AF is due for me 29th i think so looks like we will all be holding hands wishing next week! im going to try and not test until thursday, if i can wait that long, im only 6dpo but already thinking to myself that implantation will happen in the next few days so have been drinking pineapple juice like its going out of fashion!

Hope ive not missed anyone but if i have im so sorry ad HI xx

Iwish · 22/01/2011 17:41

Oh and South if you find any willpower anywhere will you send me some!! :)

SouthvilleBeeHive · 22/01/2011 18:12

Will do Iwish!

I didn't know about the pineapple juice-I think I'm 7 or 8dpo (variable cycle!)-is there a time limit or shall I run to the local shop now? :o
