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

Iwish yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FxMilly

Sorry about BFN south xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

weimy · 28/01/2011 14:09

Fx Summer Too!!!!!

Iwish · 28/01/2011 14:32

Thanks summer. I feel so blessed. DP keeps telling me he's desperate to tell his mum, I want to wait till I've had my first check with the midwife which I think will be a couple of weeks. I have my fingers crossed for you and really hope I will need to knit you a bonnet :)

Thanks weimy I'm over the moon! Are you cd1 yet or still hanging in there. Havnt done much stalking today x

mslk · 28/01/2011 18:05

Hope the docs appointment went well Iwish

Don't mind you stalking me but I'm still disagreeing with FF. My longest cycle in the last 12 months was 33 days and that was a year ago when things were still calming down after the pill. Sunday would be CD33 so if no AF and no temp dip I might test. Although, today, I have been feeling like AF is about to arrive any anytime. We shall see!!!

Sorry about the BFN South I hope it was just too early to test

Hi Fraggle milly summer weimy and everyone else, how are we all?

Iwish · 28/01/2011 18:28

Hi Mslk Docs appt went fine thanks, all he did was ask me a few questions and get me to book an appt for my thyroid test and my first antenatal appt. Grin
Oooh ill be watching for you testing on sunday then. i still have crampy feelings like af will arrive v soon but this mornings test put my mind at rest.

xx

millymoo1234 · 28/01/2011 19:48

Hiya, just checking in... still no AF, so I've decided I'll test this Sunday - eeek!

trying to distract myself - lots of cleaning, biscuit munching and tv watching - hustle is on later - yey!

Hello there mslk, did I read you are also testing this weekend - i'll keep fingers and toes crossed for you.

Summer I think you should test sooner and join us at the weekend - test test test... sorry getting carried away now.

waves back at Iwish x

Iwish · 28/01/2011 20:01

weimy · 28/01/2011 20:19

fragglerocks · 28/01/2011 22:10

I'll only be on cd24 on Sunday and I usually have ridiculously long cycles but I might POAS anyway just so I can join in!

Pleased all is well for you iwish, I know this is a TTC thread but don't leave us, I still want you to keep us all updated!!

Hope you're all having a good Friday, have to go now, I have a large glass of red waiting for me! x

Unicornlover · 28/01/2011 22:30

Went to GP. She says that she isn't allowed to send me for blood test till AF is a week late at least. It's due tomorrow so she's told me to POAS on sun and take a photo of the result to show her next week.

mslk · 29/01/2011 09:36

Morning ladies how are we all?

I'm going for some serious distraction today, lots of cleaning and tidying!! And keeping everything crossed that it's still worth POAS tomorrow morning.

Want to hold each others hands milly? Grin

mslk · 29/01/2011 09:41

Sorry fraggle and Unicorn missed your posts somehow! Blush

Get that stick ready fraggle and join the fun!! Wink

Unicorn hope AF stays away today and you can join milly and I for some sunday POAS action!! Smile

I'm going to be sooooo disappointed if it's a BFN or AF arrives Hmm

BillieButtercup · 29/01/2011 12:23

Hello ladies

This is my first ever post so am a bit shy Blush but have been TTC our first baby for 9 months now and am starting to feel the need for a bit of support!

AF due on Monday and am trying my best not to to POAS until at least Tues but we'll see... Wink

Loving reading all your posts - fingers crossed that lovely things happen for all of us soon!

fragglerocks · 29/01/2011 12:47

Welcome billie (Love the name by the way!)
We're a friendly mad bunch so you'll get loads of support here, no need to be shy! Have you been symptom spotting? I think everytime I feel a bit sick I must be PG, forgetting conveniently about the pack of biscuits or huge chocolate cake I have just eaten!!

Got my fx for all the sunday POASers milly mslk unicorn and for billie and summer on Tuesday.

I POAS this morning by accident, picked up a pg stick instead of an ov stick! IDIOT! BFN although to be fair it's hardly suprising! I'm only on cd23 and my cycle is normally between 33 and 40! Felt a little Sad though, was hoping there would be some kind of miracle!! Made up for it by SWI though, made me feel better!

Happy Saturday everyone!

millymoo1234 · 29/01/2011 19:21

Summer - so sorry to hear about your nan - I really didn't mean to put my foot in it. I will be looking out for you on Tuesday and wish you the very very best!

MSKL and Unicorn - I've been driving myself crazy today, how have you been? Very excited about tomorrow - AF still not here, and crampy feeling has gone - trying not to get too hopeful, but I think it's looking good - here hoping for a triple whammy for us all!

Billie - welcome and hello! I'm quite new too, everyone is really friendly, and its so nice to read and speak to people who are going through similar things... sometimes you really feel like you are the only i-want-a-baby-crazy lady on the planet...good luck for tuesday!

Fraggle - you made me chuckle - i've not heard of anyone accidentally POASing before - brilliant!

Have a nice Saturday evening everyone x

millymoo1234 · 30/01/2011 09:28

Well - its sunday and I bounced out of bed, POASed, only to be greeted by a big fat BFN... pooooooooooooh.... wishing everyone else better luck xxx

mslk · 30/01/2011 09:56

BFN for me too. Sucks doesn't it milly?

I just know AF will turn up later or tomorrow!!!

Hope you have better luck unicorn

BillieButtercup · 30/01/2011 11:39

Aw thanks everyone, this is a lovely place to be!

So sorry to hear about your BFNs mslk and milly, rubbish news. Good luck to unicorn...

Fraggle - yes I have most definitely been symptom spotting despite promising myself this month that I wouldn't! I was actually feeling a bit ropey all day yesterday and trying to suppress smiles at DH who spent the whole time listing things that could be causing it without once mentioning pregnancy - he doesn't like to encourage my madness!!

Happy SWI-ing to Fraggle, hugs to mslk and milly, lots of luck and babydust to unicorn and summer!

millymoo1234 · 30/01/2011 15:33

Ah, feeling very philosophical and have just scoffed lots of Lindt chocolate... Hugs mslk, at least once af gets here we can start counting again, hope you're ok?

See you all soon x

weimy · 30/01/2011 18:20

Sorry Mslk & Milly :( Feb will be our month fx :)

fragglerocks · 30/01/2011 18:35

Sorry mslk and milly. ((((Big hugs))))

Well I am totally confused as to my cycle, I did an ov test this morning and there was a faint line so still a negative, surely I must ovulate at some point this month!! Come on ovaries!

Oh well the SWI must continue!!

A quick question....a friend who had problems conceiving (happy to say she is now 20 weeks gone!!Grin) was told by her doctor to SWI every 3 days to give the sperm chance to regenerate but not to leave it any longer as the sperm will start to die off! I've just been doing it as much as possible!! What do you think is the best way to go!!??

millymoo1234 · 30/01/2011 20:10

Hi fraggle, thanks, still clinging to a teeny hope that it's just too early to test, but don't feel any symptoms so unlikely...

I know I've read that with opks it's possible to only get a positive for 12 hours so you can miss your day if you see what I mean ... So keeping on swi- ing definitely is the best thing...

Also my gp said sex twice a week too, but She was reassuring me that it was ok not to do it every day because our schedules dont really allow it! I think in general it's better to do it too much rather than too little, and I've definitely read that if you leave it too long things get 'sluggish' down there... Don't know if that helps at all...

millymoo1234 · 30/01/2011 20:11

Weimy, loving your positive vibes... Roll on feb! X

smiliebaby · 30/01/2011 21:00

Hello guys!!

Congratulations Iwish I'm so pleased for you!

Summer sorry about your loss and good luck for Tuesday :)

Perhaps you did test early mslk and milly, I hope thats the case FX for you two!

Hello fraggle my doc told me the same thing about the 3 day thing, gives time for the sperm to regenerate Hmm. But SWI at least twice a week should cover it Wink

Good luck Billy hope its your month :)

Weimy Hello and FX for you for next month!

Well I'm still waiting for AF to come, don't think theres much point POAS this month as we were both really ill when I think I was due to ov, (typical!). I've started charting my temp now so hopefully I'll be more aware of whats going on with this crappy body :( I am soooo gonna make up for it in Feb, Valentines day nd all, will have to make it a proper shag-a-thon!
