Beanies, bumps and bikinis (all by next August please) :)

New, combined thread. Welcome all!

Normsnockers, have you tried using OP kits? I know they don't confirm ov but they pick up the hormone prior so if they've picked that up then you are likely to be oving still.

We've used them this month. Fingers crossed.

Crikey!! It's been busy on here today!!

How long should i leave the not having AF, after the coil out, before i see the gp? When i had it removed the woman said i should have AF within 4 weeks, it's now 5 weeks and no sign of it. If this is normal that's okay, but it's pretty hard to work out the fertile time without a period to work from!!

Sorry about the terrible grammer

Hi all!

Debs - thanks for your msg. Still no sign of AF here (thank goodness, lets hope shes packed her bags for the next 9 months!). How are all your poorly people - on the mend I hope?

Harrizeb - 1st lot of bloods booked for between days 2 - 4 of next cycle but as AF was due last Friday not sure what is happening!

MM - I sort of know how you feel - we've been ttc no1 for 13 months now and my 3 yr old godson keeps asking when Aunty Jen is going to have her baby - v difficult...

Thank you to everyone else - really hoping it is a positive as it sounds. DP now wants to wait until next Monday to test - I have pointed out that is AF is not here by then, there isn't a lot of point in testing... may try and persuade him that earlier is better!

Hope everyone else has been ok on this lovely sunny day!

Message withdrawn

Wow it really has been busy today!

Beth - sorry don't know anything about the coil but perhaps if it would put your mind at rest maybe you should check with GP.

Puppy - Hope it is ov signs for you and sorry about your recent m/c.

Milosmum - I'm sorry you are feeling low. It does us good sometime to have a rant and we are all entitled to get down sometimes otherwise we wouldn't be able to go up again(Hope this makes sense). I'm also surrounded with bumps everywhere my DB GF is due on xmas eve, my BF in Nov, a friend at work left on Fri. Anyway i hope you feel better soon.

Kleggie - Its definately different when they are your own. Your life will change but the good definately out weighs the bad. Just one smile & you will know it is worth it. It is natural to be nervous though i think we all go through that.

Harri - I'm impressed how you manage to remember everyone.

Hello to everyone who i have missed out & i'm sorry i haven't commented on everyone. Hopefully we will get our first BFP on here soon.

Take Care All

hi Jen well it does sound promising doesnt it ohhh i do hope so for you,i know what you mean about dh as mine was the same he probably doesnt want you to get your hopes up too much just yet as may be too early, my dh was the same but i ignored him and tested anyway and then he used to have to pick up the pieces when ive been in floods of tears,good luck though hun.
Artoo right with you on not knowing what to do with children but desperate for one now also put off till later 33 now as didnt think i had it in me to be a mum.
Mm hun so sorry you feel down i know this ttc feels like an uphill battle sometimes and can drag you down im here if you want to chat ((hugs)).xx
Klegs im sure you will be a fantastic mum not sure how i would cope with 3 godchildren for weekend of af think i would have spent it in floods so well done.
Norms re-check with gp as its 6 mths for further investigations when your over 35.
Puppy i know what you mean bout the whole world being pg it gets too you sometimes doesnt it but you will get there we all will we just have to remain positive.
Hi to Harri,Jersey and Homemama thanks for new thread.
Beth sometimes when having the coil removed it can take a while for af did you bleed when it was taken out?
And ladies i can recommend persona only used it this mth but it pinpointed my ov days v accurately as i had accompanied ov pain also,and with other ov kits it has given me the lh surge later say cd 12 (which was probably tail end as persona went red from day 8,9,10,then cd 11 and 12 i had the little ov sign yet it says sometimes it takes a few mths for that to appear,not with me hee hee so really hoping its our mth as its about blooming time!!
Good luck to everyone on this thread may we all get our bumps soon im on cd 19 btw so in 2 ww

Hi everyone - reading all this has made me glad that I am in the same boat as a lot of other people! I used ov kits this month, and then did bding at right time - think possibly last few months it had been too early in my cycle and stopped bding too early! It is frustrating when I was pg first month with dd which was same weight as I am now, and one month after wedding (so stress there) - unless the releif of the big day being over made a difference!!! Anyway there is always an excuse for each month - felt unwel, then had my smear so that obviously distrubed things up there, etc! Only have to wait 2 weeks now - not helped by fact that my friend in work is pg - really pleased for her, but we would love to really wind the boss up that he has o pay for 2 of us off on maternity leave - you would think the money was coming out of his pocket the fuss he makes if anyone is off sick!! (and we work for a council not some small place!!) Better go and have a bath & see if Dh wants an early night!

Hi everyone, welcome to the newcomers, sorry terrible rem names . Nothing to report here waiting for AF before starting ttc for real. Fingers crossed for some BFP on our new thread xxxxx

Morning ladies, I've woken up with period like cramps this morning. AF not due til a week on fri so not sure what's going on.
Hope everyone is well!
Is anyone testing soon?

homemama, i had pain about a week before AF was due, which was very strange, later turned out it would have been implantation!

hi everyone, hope things are going well with you all. i know what it feels like to want to rant so rant away!!! hehe anyway not a lot to report, waiting for bleeding to stop (still going strong 4 days later and usually af is 1-2 days, very odd!) and then will start bding like bunnies! its a very tiring buisness this ttc lark!

Hi lilac-love the name change! Hope you are well. I had considered that as I was OVing thurs/fri but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. R u and dana on the same ante-natal thread? If so, that's nice to go through the whole ttc and pg together.

Homemama, I had period-like pains from approx. 5-6 days after ov onwards, and as you know AF never showed . Fingers and toes crossed that is what's happening to you!!!
Yep, me and Lilac are on the same ante-thread. If you fall pg this month, you would just make it into June as well, wouldn't you? (No pressure )

fingers crossed homemama, i had dull af like pains before i had missed af in both of my pregnancies, lets hope its a bfp in a couple of weeks time.

Nothing to report here like homemama i have af like pains but i am on cd15 and looks i have a tummy bug as i am quite tired and feel slightly nauseous amongst other things which i feel would be tmi lol

Hi dana, no pressure indeed!
I have to admit that this is the first month that I will actually feel upset and disappointed when (if ) AF arrives. Hope all is well with you.
Puppy, hope you feel better soon.

Thanks homemama, i'll be ok just got to get on with things, and i also must prise my bum off this chair to get house work done, the dust is a inch thick i blame mn as its so addictive (don't post that much but constantly read it)

hi - thanks for the kind messages ladies- i know you must all feel the same. it just gets a little hard sometimes.

im just waiting on AF- theres NO chance of a BFP this month as hubby was away at ov time....

my af is due on Saturday- my birthday!- deffo no BFP this month as dh was away.

i m reneging on my relax approach- im back to temping when af starts . 2 months of being relaxed has helped but I WANT A BABY!!!!!!

Hi still no sign of AF although I have cramps in my lower right side (like trapped wind almost but it isn't )

Have told DP that there is no way I can wait til Monday and am going out to by a test (or 3) tomorrow and will use them on Thursday morning. I absoloutely have to know either way! I have also booked to see the DR on Friday morning to discuss the results (whatever way they go).

Hope everyone ok, hope you are feeling better Puppy. Hi to everyone else...

Fingers crossed Jen let us know a.s.a.p on thursday, will be waiting xxxx

crossing fingers for you Jen.

Hugs,
Artoo.

Good luck Jen.
Which CD is everyone on? I've lost track of who's testing soon and who's just had AF etc.
Ok, I'm on CD19. I OV'd @CD12 this month. I'm a strict 28day girl so I'll test next fri if no AF.

Have got my fingers crossed for you Jen

CD5 here So not much happening with me.

Good luck Jen!! I will look out for your result tomorrow. Fingers crossed
