A safe place for everyone on the TTC after MC rollercoaster. Welcome and come in - virtual wine and chocolate for all, and lots of support and hand-holding until you get your BFP!

The thread moves fast but don't let that put you off - feel free to come along and stay to chat; or dip in and out with any questions.

If you want to join the stats, just add yourself to the list:

WTTC = waiting to TTC
UCL = usual cycle length

Good luck to all - here's hoping for lots of healthy, sticky BFPs by the end of the thread

For reference here's a link back to the previous thread

Latest stats to follow in a moment!

< Loola has a strop that she hasn't been classed as an oldy after 6months on the thread Sad >

mummy sorry it was BFN, still time for it to change!

Holds velvet izz & yrmotb hands, we all seem to be down in the dumps this cycle! Hopefully we'll have a nice shiney BFP to cheer us up at the end of it!

waves to cep och & chloe and everyone else I've missed xx

mummya i ordered some preseed the other day. Am a bit Confused about it all to be honest, never used it before so not quite sure how much to use. although apparently it's all supposed to be measured out, and there was a comment about using it 15 mins before dtd.

Has anyone used it before?? if so how did you find it?

MummyAbroad · 31/01/2011 18:50

sorry loola! There are actually loads of us who have been here 6 months or more, BOA, getawiggle chloe kat knitter and I am sure that some of the others have been TTC a long time before mc even if they havent been on the thread so long.

I just mentioned these three because they were here posting.

But anyway, those stats count for you too, I really think the longer you have waited, the greater your chances not vice versa Smile

MummyAbroad · 31/01/2011 18:52

Izz if only I could get pregnant by peeing on more sticks. The job would be done in no time!Grin

MummyAbroad · 31/01/2011 18:56

cep

re: preseed Look away now if you dont want TMI

I used it, but not per instructions. Just smeared it about really. I discovered that it goes sticky really quickly on contact with air, so not great if you end up with it all over your thighs, bit of a turn off actually.
I was also a bit Hmm about needing to squirt it in with the applicator first, it would work out v expensive that way as you use quite a lot. Also hard to do if you are trying to make sex spontaneous and fun. I came to the conclusion that if you have EGCM thats got to be better right? But its another thing to try if I dont get updiffed soon. Worked for HKlady

BackOnceAgain · 31/01/2011 18:56

I am feeling those hugs ladies. Smile thank you so much for thinking of me. I will be back tomorrow for an overdue catch up. Soz things a bit hectic right now xxx

kat2504 · 31/01/2011 18:58

I am trying to change the list but computer is not cooperating with me. RTD arrived at weekend. Could someone put me on cycle 6, CD3 please?

LILI80 · 31/01/2011 18:59

collie and cep I know what you mean about wanting to get pg straight away.

I'm really deparate even though my cycle is all over the place!

I took a test last night and it was BFN which I thought it would be but couldn't help testing anyway.

The only thing is I keep telling myself well maybe it's not showing up because I tested at night or maybe because I used a cheapy pg test from the £1 shop of all places! :)

Today I have been at work looking at my calendar wondering when I could have ov'd and when I should do another test. ahh it's driving me mad Confused!

Think my AF will appear soon though as was getting pains today that were definitely in my womb, rather than being to my side as they have been.

kat2504 · 31/01/2011 19:01

Is hard to be around here such a long time. Like everyone else, had hoped for a shorter stay! Especially since cycle 5 seemed to be lucky for a lot of people. But I know that some people on cycle one or two are actually on round three of trying so have been here just as long and with a harder time.
Have missed diffed by due date deadline and had total meltdown at weekend but feeling better now. On day period started went to party where newly diffed lady present. Was not good!

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 31/01/2011 19:09

kat I feel your pain. It's bloody hard. As you say, there are, sadly, quite a few of us who have been around for a while now, or had been trying for ages before their mc, or who are on their third or fourth round of ttc after mc. It's heart-breaking really because I'd just love you all (and me!!) to get diffed quickly with a sticky healthy bean. But we are here, so we had better just stick together and make the most of it. Our time will come!!! x

cep · 31/01/2011 19:12

mummya hmm, if it just gets smeared around would it go in enough? i just found this I got it for £13 on amazon. for 9 applications. which would last me about 2 months.

One of the comments about it said it was too much. i'll wait and see what it's like.

fx with tomorrow's test

nickstermum · 31/01/2011 19:13

(hugs) ladies... You will get there...... Xxxxx

Velvetcu · 31/01/2011 19:22

thanks nix but you know that doesnt mean anything until you actually get there :)

kat i understand the missed deadline. my new one is December this year (one year after my dd). Surely it will be my turn by then??

I wish I could find something else to think about Confused

Lol cep just looked at that link...I'm sure it makes it sound worse than it actually is, but just reading all about the sanitary application of preseed is a bit of a passion-killer! Grin. I just don't see how it gets incorporated into the business with any degree of spontaneity!!

velvet I'm trying so steer clear of deadlines having completely missed the due date one. Originally we said we would give it a year from the mc (beginning of July) after which the age gap would be getting a bit big and we would call it a day. Trouble is, it doesn't seem so far away now and feels like it's coming up fast!! Last time I discussed it with dh we agreed to ditch the deadline for now and just see how we get on, but realistically we can't just keep going forever. Hmm...a bfp in 2011 doesn't seem too much to ask for, does it?

MummyAbroad · 31/01/2011 20:00

ooooh I just read it too, thats very unsexy! I dont think I would feel like "proceeding to intercourse" after that! Was it written by a Victorian? Grin

oddly, its really making me want to try it next month though!

cep · 31/01/2011 20:02

izzy Grin i know. i think i won't get dh to read it out at the time. Grin

oh i wish i could get dh to ditch deadline, he wouldn't even restart it after mc, still counts from sept.

cep · 31/01/2011 20:04

maybe dh could read it in a sexy voice "insert the tip of the Pre-Seed applicator into your vagina while standing and squeeze to release the lubricant into your vaginal canal." he said in a deep breathless voice.

heeheehee

mousebacon · 31/01/2011 20:13

Ladies heed my preseed warning.... a little bit goes a long way Smile x

MummyAbroad · 31/01/2011 20:16

Grin Grin [grin]@cep

cep · 31/01/2011 20:16

that's the applicator isn't mouse ? Grin sorry am being silly tonight.

cep · 31/01/2011 20:20
  • isn't it mouse,
Velvetcu · 31/01/2011 20:25

hahahahaha cep we could write some short stories to go with it Grin
