hi, this is probably a weee bit early for some ppl, but im waiting til end of this month to ttc (the desperation, brooding over other peoples babies and feeling jealous of pregnant women , thinking of names and waiting 2 symptom spot kicks in)
so come along and join the journey to motherhood!

Hi gimme. Welcome aboard.

How old are your other dc?

So where are all the symptom spotters? Must be quite a few on the 2ww now.

Can I join as I think this is the bus I need?

On the 2WW here, on day 15, but 5 days post ovulation. No symptoms to report here yet....

chocolatebuttontheif · 29/12/2010 10:08

Hi to the recent newcomers.

I had some cramps yesterday and thought AF must be about to make an appearance, but no sign of it yet.

Gobolino · 29/12/2010 10:36

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Congrats broody, fabulous news.
AF arrived on Boxing Day for me.
I'm just popping on to say goodbye for now - have been on these boards too much and obsessing a bit, so am going to try a more relaxed approach for a while and try to forget I'm trying iyswim! DH and I aren't in a hurry for a little one (although it would be lovely!) so we're going to enjoy TTC for a bit without worrying. Just didn't want to disappear without explaining.
Best of luck everyone. May this and your future buses be full of BFPs!
Gobolino x

GetDownYouWillFall · 29/12/2010 11:40

Awww Gobolino sorry to hear that Sad I do understand totally where you are coming from. I think these boards, although great support, can sometimes fuel our obsession!! I have felt the need to step away for a while too when it's not helping.

Good idea to just relax a bit with the TTC, I'm sure it will happen for you, probably when you least expect it!!

Best wishes for the future! xxx

Welcome to the newcomers, sorry to hear about AF Goblino, hope that you get your BFP soon and come back any time to let us know how you are getting on Xmas Grin. I agree with getdown these boards do tend to fuel the obsessing, but then DH and I are getting on a bit and anything to help is good I think

jaggythistle · 29/12/2010 13:12

Hey all.

CD21 here, 5DPO so will no doubt be joining in the symptom spotting soon :)

So far I am just peering at my FF chart, have even overlaid it with the one from the cycle when DS was conceived this time 2 years ago Blush

Have just about convinced myself that the pattern is a wee bit similar...

Don't you just love the 2ww? Hmm

Greedychops · 29/12/2010 15:31

Yay jaggythistle - that's what I like to see. Laying over of charts etc - let's hope you are right with your hunch. I have been falling asleep in the afternoons this week and I remember that well from my first pg.

But it could just be middle of the holidays relaxing too Confused

Sorry to hear about af gobbolino and hope you and dh have a great time not thinking about it and just enjoying the ttc.

ravenlocks · 29/12/2010 17:38

Hi all. Just checking in. On CD9 so gearing up for the SWIing which starts tomorrow.

jaggythistle · 29/12/2010 18:00

Well if you look at it kind of squint...

overlay at top of page hehe!

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23f06e

join me in my madness of peering at my chart if you want ;)

Greedychops · 29/12/2010 18:18

Wow that's really interesting jaggythistle - wish I'd know about that before as would be really interesting to compare previous pg.

I can definitely see the similarity in the curves, hope that continues.

TwoJackRussellslostinthesnow · 29/12/2010 19:31

Hey Jaggy,

I had a nosy, that does look very similar, fingers crossed it's all pointing in the right direction Grin

I've been trying out my ovulation sticks this month, so got a positive today, sounds daft but it's quite reassuring, as it's holiday time DH and I are SWIing away madly over the last couple of days, trying not to get too hopeful about this month, but it would be very sad if we had to wait another month at least. Have been having all these thoughts that this might be our last xmas as just a couple, must stop thinking so much!!!

jaggythistle · 29/12/2010 19:40

trying not to get carried away, gives me something to do while i am waiting!

just cuddling 15 mo DS to sleep (barely kept his eyes open for bedtime story!), can hardly remember him being so tiny last year, can't wait for a new wee person.

i think i am more relaxed this time, but more impatient too. didn't get time to be impatient before as i was really lucky to conceive quickly. would actually be strange if we were successful this month as i would have almost the same due date!

good luck everyone, will have to make up some symptoms soon... Grin

I'm out, AF got me today. Did OPK's this month for the first time and FF says I only had an 8 day Luteal Phase. Not good news.

ravenlocks · 29/12/2010 20:43

Sorry mslk. Have you tempd before? That will tell you once and for all what your luteal phase length is, OPKs aren't as accurate as temping can be out by a couple of days or so, or worse completely wrong esp if you had a surge but didn't ovulate immediately. Would be horrible to be worrying unduly.

TwoJackRussellslostinthesnow · 30/12/2010 08:13

Morning all,

sorry to hear that AF got you mslk, at least you can have a drink over new year's, small consolation I know, but something at least I hope!

Morning. Sorry to hear about af Mslk but good luck for the next bus if you join it, and have a great time at new year.

Well obsession took over this morning and I poas Blush. Bfn of course - far too early to test but I couldn't help myself. In my defence, I'm pretty sure this will be our last dc and I intend to enjoy being pg as much as possible, and this for me is the start of the enjoyment - the anticipation although I can totally totally see how that would turn from fun to depressing if it went on for very long.

Anyone else want to join me in admitting they poas far too early or will I hang my head on my own?

Greedy, Vegas, I've been symptom spotting already and I think I only ovulated yesterday or today, got a positive on my ovi stick and some strange almost period like pressure in the right sort of area. Roll on the 2ww I guess....

mslk · 30/12/2010 19:26

Hi Raven have just ordered myself a basal thermometer so I can chart my temps and get a better picture of what's going on. Hoping having the flu has messed things up this month and it's nothing more serious than that.

TwoJack we're having a New Year party so i'm glad I can have a drink. Think I'll detox in Jan!! Xmas Wink

In case I don't get on tomorrow....

Happy New Year

chocolatebuttontheif · 30/12/2010 20:35

I'm hopping off the bus, AF came today.

Good luck to everyone else on board though!

Just checking in after Christmas family marathon. Hope everyone had lovely times. Congrats to broody and sorry to those who have had seasonal visits from AF - where's her Christmas spirit gone?! Xmas Angry

No news here, I'm CD10 so am getting into the swi-swing. Hopes at rock bottom this month but if DH and I do our side our the business maybe AF will do her bit and b*gger off for nine months...
