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

Just a quick hello to you all!

Thanks for the advice, will have to calm myself down! Husband has told me i'm becoming a nympho so it may be for the best!!

My longest cycle recently has been 43 days so if AF still not here by valentines I will POAS, how romantic!! Me weeing in a pot so I can use the cheap ebay tests with DH waiting outside, wow we know how to live! And they say romance is dead!!

smiliebaby · 30/01/2011 21:47

Lol at fraggle, your probably wearing his poor little swimmers out!!
What CD are you on now?

Me, on the other hand needs to step up my game! I'm now on CD29 and praying for AF so I can get on with it and try again. I've got a little backache and lower belly pains but I think that might be the massive yummy cooked dinner I had earlier!! Ooops!

fragglerocks · 30/01/2011 22:45

I'm on cd24, things would be so much easier if I had an "average" 28 day cycle! Mind you I dont know anyone who has that!

Unicornlover · 30/01/2011 23:35

I POAS this morning but the test must have been a dud as control line didn't show. still got faint line in test box but can't use it as proof for GP when no control line.

smiliebaby · 31/01/2011 10:03

Morning all :)

I know exactly what you mean fraggle I wish my cycles were nice and short so theres not so much hanging around, waiting...

Hi Unicorn have you got another test to try? Good luck to you :)

My temp went from 36.6 yesterday to 36.2 this morning does that mean anything? I'm not really very clued up on temping yet, help...

millymoo1234 · 31/01/2011 18:24

Unicorn... A faint line in the test box... That sounds a teensy bit exciting even on a broken test... Any news? Am keeping everything crossed for you x

Smilie, hiya! I'm rubbish at temping but think going down means your body's getting ready for af again... Which would mean you were primed for some lovely valentine bd-ing, woo hoo!

Hey fraggle, I feel your pain, I'm on cd38 I just worked out and still no sign of af, I'm so jealous of those regular 28ers (if they actually exist?) it feels like they get twice as many chances! But that's just me being grumpy... Hmmm... Grumpy... Maybe af is on her way after all!

Big fat over-emotional hugs to you all xxx

weimy · 31/01/2011 19:25

I am pretty much a 28 dayer Blush it has not done me any good though Wink

Smilie I think milly is right but tbh my temps are always all over the place.

fx crossed for everyone :)

millymoo1234 · 31/01/2011 19:31

Aah Weimy, I cant begrudge you your regular 28 days... You are too nice!

I take it all back... Just read another thread with people who've had 60ers! So I can't complain

P.s I've totally convinced myself I feel sick... Will somebody slap me please? x

mslk · 31/01/2011 20:21

Hey milly i'm ok, being teased with spotting but no AF just yet! sorry if TMI. How are you doing? When do you expect AF? No slap for you either, I'm still hoping a little bit as no AF just yet. Smile

Fraggle every 2 or 3 days is the general advice all through your cycle so there's no pressure at the optimum time and gives the swimmers a chance to build up again. I love that romantic pictured you just painted. How special would it be to get a BFP on valentines day Grin

Hi smilie weimy and anyone else around

Keep your chin up Smilie you're still in the running until AF arrives. I'm still getting used to the temping thing too but I don't think that change is too much to worry about. mine's up and down all the time. Charters thread is good for help and advice.

How annoying unicorn, any luck today?

smiliebaby · 31/01/2011 21:29

Hi milly hehe! I know good timing! That is if AF decides to show its ugly head!! I've had some months in the past when it decides to skip a month so I'm really hoping that dont happen again.

I am jealous of your 28 days weimy it would make it more exciting!! I'm leaving the green eyed monster get the better of me now sorry !!!

Hi mslk I very much doubt I'm in the running, unfortunatly. Thanks for trying to give a little hope. I've got fertility friend but I'm finding it difficult as I only started temping on CD 27 so not yet had a full cycle. FX for you though :)

Unicornlover · 31/01/2011 21:55

tried the other out of the 2 pack this morning and got same thing so am wondering if it's bad batch. the were only the cheap ones from boots. am gonna order some more when shopping tonight. some decent ones this time

millymoo1234 · 01/02/2011 13:09

Hiya All! Well... its Tuesday - so who's testing? I'm keeping my fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for everyone on here x

I gave in and did another test today - still BFN - darn it... I'm so annoyed with myself, because normally I wouldn't have been excited at all, my normal cycle is usually around 30-40 days, so I'm not particularly late, its just that my spotting and cramping last week SOOOO felt like and looked (sorry)what you read implantation is meant to be like... and I've never been pregnant, so I have nothing to compare to, but that was a week ago, which surely means it would have shown up in tests by now? right? I'm using those internet cheapies - clutching a total straws here, but could it be that they aren't very reliable - has anyone else used them? oh, I feel exasperated - I don't even mind that much if I'm not, I just want to know one way or the other, so wish AF would come and at least I'd know... I feel totally sick today, but KNOW i've made myself feel like this... I just need to chill out - but that's so hard isn't it?!

Sorry, rant over there, Its so nice to come on here and be able to get things of your chest...

Right - back to the real world - having dampproof course done - aaah, the glamour...

Hugs to everyone, Milly

Summerbird73 · 01/02/2011 16:42

ok just jumping on as i have loads to catch up on as i have been away for a couple of days. any BFPs since i was away? Iwish was the last count for me!

I could test today as i am 14DPO but only CD26 but my cycles are always quite short (gaahh dont flame me!). So should i POAS tonight then? I was going to do it this afternoon as i am still off work but am a bit shit scared!!!

WWYD?

Summerbird73 · 01/02/2011 16:46

unicorn boots tests are the work of the devil - i did 3 of those tests when i was pg with DS and ended up using clearblue digi - bit more expensive but you get a definitive result

milly Sad about your BFN but if AF still not here and you are getting cramping it isnt over till the fat lady sings as they say! my mum told me that you can get a false negative but not a false positive so you could still be in the running FX

i meant to say - i am getting stomach cramps so maybe AF is going to make an appearance the old bag! will keep you informed Smile

weimy · 01/02/2011 20:10

milly and Unicorn hang in there!!!!

ooh summer I'm not sure Confused, wait till first wee tomorrow?

My dm just told me that ds (who has a 2yo) will probably start ttc before next year, and I am having a panic that she will get pg before me. Grrr so cross with myself Blush.

BillieButtercup · 01/02/2011 20:33

Hello lovely ladies!

So today was the day that I had promised myself I could test (AF due yesterday and still no sign) but then went and made a stupid promise to DH on Sunday night not to test until Thursday... why oh why?!! Anyway in a bid to prove I can be strong and am not completely baby crazy I am trying very hard to stick it out until first pee Thursday morning... will let you know...

Hugs to all xx

Summerbird73 · 01/02/2011 20:45

Summerbird73 · 01/02/2011 20:58

thank you! i collared DH when he got in from work - he said just to go for it, so we took DS upstairs to play around 6 and we all pottered about - did the CB digi and whoop eeeeeee! 'Pregnant 1-2' pops up! we are sooo happy

iwish we are gonna be babba buddies! who else has had a BFP? praps we should do a roll call including the TTCers

smiliebaby · 01/02/2011 21:01
