Glad that everything is going well for you Bee How far gone are you now?
Next AF due sometime next week, I'm not 100% sure on dates still, but towards the end of next week.
We have been trying a lot more this month than the previous 2. We had 2 busy months which was good to tak my mind off things, and we had a rest from ttc. But this month has gone back to trying almost everyday again. But I'm not holding out hope. It took 8months to get pregnant before the mc, so not expecting miracles this time!

25 weeks so far, don't know where wickets at just now?
I will be checking this thread lots on Friday then! I don't think it matters how long it took last time, all it matters is that you might have a super swimmer sperm in there this month!

Hi guys, I'm ok. I'm 14 weeks now, but still really badly sick and struggling with it.

Lovely to see you guys here again! I do thick of you LPO, and wonder how you're doing.

BeeMyBaby · 26/08/2011 13:54

Yes, I thick of you too LPO, I thick of you alot :P

Sorry wicket, I couldn't help picking on your typo.

LPO - did AF arrive?

TheWicketKeeperIsDown · 26/08/2011 17:29

Lol!

eurochick · 26/08/2011 17:31

Hello ladies. I'm still here and still plugging away!

BeeMyBaby · 26/08/2011 17:41

Just to continue my creepy persona - when's your AF due euro?

hi all, we have been on holiday for 10days so just got back this evening and did a test this evening as AF hadn't arrived and have been having horrendous stomach cramps the past few days.
.....

I got a BFP 3+ weeks. But not holding out hope at the moment as having the same back stomach pains as I did last time. But obviously extremely pleased to get the BFP at all. wicket sure you know how I'm feeling. Bloody petrifed and not allowing myself to even believe it or begin to think about it!

ok LPO here is a subtle quiet gentle cuddle of happiness for you

cuddleeee

blue22 · 30/08/2011 12:02

Oh LPO that's great I'm so pleased for you and everything crossed that this wee one sticks.
Still no news here - starting to seriously think it might just not happen for us Sad

TheWicketKeeperIsDown · 04/09/2011 10:54

LPO, just seen this and I'm grinning away for you! Grin You're right, I do know exactly what you're going through and it's only now, at 16 weeks that I feel relatively relaxed about it. This is a horrible time. BUT in both my successful (so far...) pregnancies, I've had weird horrible cramps that have felt like AF about to appear. Doesn't make you unworried about them, I know. Really hoping this wee one clings on in there.

Blue, Sad for you. It can get so soul- destroying. Have you seen your GP? I can't remember how old you are, but if you're over 35 then medical assessment is reasonable after 6 months. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Hi Wicket glad everything is going well for you still and that you are finally beginning to relax!
I had to go to the hospital on Thursday because of these stomach pains and they were worried it was an Eptopic pregnancy. All was fine though and still going here at 5.5 weeks with lots of morning sickness and feeling shattered. Not complaining though. Just want the next few months to pass quickly without problems!

Blue also wondering if you can talk to a doctor yet? When was it you 1st started trying properly?

OP posts:
blue22 · 08/09/2011 09:16

We've been 'trying' since january, in that that's when I stopped taking the pill. But it's not quite as simple as that as we both work silly hours (quite often into the night) and do a lot of travelling, so some months we've hardly seen each other. Take this month - I'm on CD 19, but we've only DTD on CD 15 and CD 18 - which is probably too late, so not sure if this would 'count' as a month.
We go on holiday in 10 days time for 2 weeks, just DP, me and DD and hopefully that'll be a real break and we can relax. Then I might go to the doctor - I'm 32 but DP is a lot older than me.
How you feeling LPO?

I can totally understand the problem Blue my DH works late hours and is away a lot so is always difficult to find the time.
To be honest though, both times I have had a BFP has been on a month where we haven't been 'trying' and just been relaxing and going with the flow, having fun really.
Chin up, and may be worth having a chat with your GP. Just to see what they say, any advice is good hey?

This are moving along here. I'm 6 weeks today. So far have been suffering from horrendous morning sickness for the past 10 days! Me and my poor DS haven't managed to leave the house this week. Hoping and hoping that it subsides soon! But I know I can't complain because ms is supposed to be a sign on a good pregnancy so fingers crossed there!!

How are things going LPO?

And blue? how are you?

eurochick · 19/09/2011 22:29

That's great news, LPO (apart from the morning sickness of course).

Things are going well here. I had my first scan yesterday (7.5wks). I live abroad so the health care is different to the UK.
Morning sickness is still going strong, luckily I am a SAHM with my 2.5 yo who has now learnt that each time I have my head over the toilet he comes in and cuddles my back telling me he is making me better! :)

TheWicketKeeperIsDown · 20/09/2011 19:37

Awwww for DS!

So chuffed for you!

TreacleChops · 24/09/2011 14:57

Blue, me and you both hun.....

We've been TTCing since January, however, since about September/ October of last year we've been "not not trying" (using no contraception)... and still NOTHING!

I've been off the pill since Feb 2009, but never had the most regular cycles.

just to add a kick in the teeth.... (Although it is wonderful news) my sister who is 4 years my younger has just announced her pregnancy to the family and she's only been off the pill since March!!! just gives u that extra pang of "bloody hell, how long does it have to take"!!!

BeeMyBaby · 21/10/2011 13:40

so its been a month since the last post - any news? And LPO you must be coming up 12 weeks now?

I hope that everyone else is well, whether with pregnancy or TTC.
