I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Hi all! Had a lovely night away with DP and managed to hardly think about TTC at all which was a welcome break!

Still no BFP or AF but am really irritable today so it might be on it's way Sad or it could just be that I'm gutted to be back after such a lovely time. We'll see.

Trope I have PM'ed you Smile

ghosteditor · 11/04/2011 20:18

Hey ladies,

Some serious work-stress and a slightly early AF for me - what a week this is shaping up to be!

So my stats are now:

ghosteditor (27) ttc#1 cycle 4 ucl 26-28 days due 7th May

HOWEVER all being well next month should be the month of mega-TTC (if DH doesn't get sent overseas instead of coming to NY with me, that's another story) so I'm keeping fx that things will be different next time around.

and of course, congrats poulette !

d0gFace · 11/04/2011 20:59

Hi, could I join you :)

(24)ttc#1 Had an early mc late last month, so not sure when af will arrive.

Poulette · 11/04/2011 21:22

Hi all! Thank you for your lovely messages!

Well, I've tested twice again (just to make sure) and that little line keeps on getting stronger...so I guess this is it! I think I might even squeak into 2011.

Weimy your tick story sounds hideous, but curiously fascinating. I've never seen a tick in a being before!

Ohbesomeothername really glad you enjoyed your trip away. Am keeping my fingers crossed for you still - you never know!

Ghost perhaps NYC will be the place you conceive - ultra glam you! If you did, would you name it something NYC-ish though, a la Posh Spice and Brooklyn?!

good luck to all

EsmeWeatherwax · 12/04/2011 09:14

kittycat234 · 12/04/2011 10:04

Hiya,

I have just officially started ttc #3 although stopped the depo jag 7 months ago. It really messed up my AFs and was a permanent "bleeder" as my dh so very kindly put it lol. Just when I thought I was back to normal (have had 3 regular AF's) I have just started an early AF, was hoping I had a implantaion bleed but hey ho no such luck. Just when I start officially trying everything goes awol. Should have kept it more of a secret from mother nature and maybe would have more success.

I sound a little selfish here as I have 2 beautiful children already and in real terms havent been trying for too long, although unofficially it has been 7 months now. After depo it can take a year I have heard so still avergage.

Anyway good luck to all you lovely ladies here ttc a 2012 baby, and plenty of baby dust to everyone :)

MollyDefoe · 12/04/2011 15:28

Hi all

I'm an idiot. I've had really bad heartburn for the last 2-3 weeks, which I've never had before. At first I hoped it was a pg symptom, but then AF came and went, and the heartburn got worse and worse. It was just when I was necking a pint of grapefruit juice yesterday afternoon, and thinking 'owww! that really hurts', that I made the connection. I'd gone from drinking no juice, to about 2 pints of grapefruit juice a day (all in the aid of EWCM!). My poor stomach - all that acid. Anyway, today I've had no grapefruit juice, and ta-da: no heartburn. I feel like a prize idiot. I've spent the last week worrying that I've got a peptic ulcer...

I'm on CD 13, so expecting to ovulate in about 3-4 days time; the shagathon begins tonight! But I've had flu for the past 4 days, and now DP is complaining of a sore throat. Really hope he doesn't succumb; or at least is able to DTD through the pain...

woops :) my stats are as follows:

(25) TTC#3, cycle 0, UCL unknown was 28 but still irregular, AF due 24h April

OBeSomeOtherName · 13/04/2011 18:58

Still nothing!! Haven't tested since Monday and won't be until the weekend now (if there's no AF by then) in an attempt to keep the disapointment of that lineless little window to a minimum.

Sorry, haven't had the chance to catch up properly, ds is ill atm so not had much time to spend on mn and am pooped by the end of the day.
I hope everything's going well for everyone x

trope · 13/04/2011 20:31

ooh, cake! I'll try the unamed french one please boogies

although after weimys tick story I may have to wait till later to eat it - that sounds thoroughly gross!

obe how frustrating! I'd be a gibbering wreck of frustration by now in your shoes, really hope you get a BFP soon!

Now, what's this talk of juices?? Is there some magic pant snot increasing ingredient in juice that I didn't know about? Someone, please enlighten me!!

To update where i'm at, I'm CD13, plenty of egg white but no crosshairs on FF yet for me either. My temp has been annoyingly low and flat, although it's finally gone up 0.1 for two days running, so I'm hoping ovulation may finally be here! I'm guessing that this means that my cycle has gotten longer again, but will just have to wait and see.

In other news, I do have masses of crampy pains, which I imagine are the wizened husks that are my ovaries slowly creaking back into life! (15 odd years on the pill can't have done them any good! Wink) Never had anything like it before though - feeling really very sore! Just what you want when you're TTC eh! Wink

weimy oh no! No idea how food poisoning would affect things, but bear in mind that you won't definitely get sick, is a question of luck / whether any bacteria present were harmful and in enough quantities to make you ill. FX you are OK!

trope · 14/04/2011 07:40

Woo - got crosshairs on FF! Ovulation dated to monday 11th! Which means I'm moving my AF due to the 25th, on the assumption of a 14 day luteal phase.

Is amazing how excited you can get over a couple of lines on a chart!! We managed to SWI on the day of ovulation, so fingers, toes and everything else crossed! Keeping up with the SWI for another day or two just in case FF isn't right about Monday.

Weimy Hope you're OK. At a Christmas party last year, a group of my friends and I were clustered around a tray of cocktail sausages in the kitchen, and polished off about 5 each (some ate 10!). And then the host came back in, screamed, and grabbed the tray from our hands - they'd only been in the oven for 5 minutes (they were supposed to have 30 minutes). I'm such a hypochrondriac at the best of times, and was terrified I was going to spend the night vomiting - but not one of us were ill. Good old M&S! I hope you've had the same luck...

fx on not being sick weimy. trope what are these cross hairs you talk about :L it may be a silly question but i actually have no idea.

well i got a positive OPK so i guess im lucky that ive ovulated so soon after MC just 13 days ago. messed my head up slightly as i was so gutted about the MC i told the mr we would be SWI everyday untill i got a BFP. so we have pretty much been doing that and ive been fine. however now i no i have or will very soon ovulate its scaring my sh*tless incase i do get pregnant so much so last night i told him i didnt want to get pregnant he used a condom Shock . TMI but when we had finished i practically cried because i felt like his little swimmers had been wasted and should be on their way to socalising with my egg.

so well sorry for ranting i dont feel like he quite understands hardly suprising as i dont understand myself i want a BFP but then id be petrified if we got one.

Toddle if you chart you get red crosshairs on your chart if your temps show you have ov'd (if using fertility Friend).

I know exactly how you feel, it is very scary and emotional and a huge step with huge implications, it's ok to freak out :)
