TTC a 2012 baby, this is our year !!!

[weimy]

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 , , and [chocolate emoticon].

Thanks toddle. I think a month off every now and then might not be a bad idea. It's a shame you can't be with him having a Greek sh@gathon though!

Ah sounds tempting but a sh@gathon with dss, mil, fil around probably wouldnt happen :L. Guess thinking about it probably counts me out in August to as we all of away for a week then. So it would appear unless July is the month for us were out untill SEPT!!!!! Omg that feels like a life time away.

toddle it will fly by!! xxx

I got 2 very faint + tests yesterday...... and then a bfn this morning.
A little gutted esp as i've had early losses before.
Just waiting for AF to start now.

Sorry Serendipity, that's horrid for you getting your hopes up so much.

As for me, fairly certainly out of it this week as dh has been really ill so we have managed 1 shag during first 3 days of my suspected 5 day window - hoping to get in 2 more but still, not exactly covering the bases. I caved earlier this month and bought some pg tests (5!) and ordered a bb thermometer which came today, I hope that the thermometer will call af's bluff even in this unlikely scenario, if not then at least I can check I'm actually ovulating as am only judging by cm at the mo.
For those of you who have mentioned feeling ovulation, how would you describe it? Is it anything like a very mild stitch one side behind your pelvis?

For me, ov feels like mild pain on one side (usually my right side), usually coupled with a lot of bloating and general tenderness in my lower abdomen. But if you look on the ov pains thread other women are describing something different. I knew if can vary (apparently people can feel different parts of the process) but I have never heard of ov pains being that severe before I read that thread.

Meant out of it this month, not week! Half of me thinks it only takes one swimmer but half of me thinks it is so difficult. Luck really eh? Not moping btw, just making conversation in case anyone is lurking!:)

Hello ladies! Have been very busy at work and with in-laws visiting so have managed to read posts without writing any! Congrats to those with BFPs!

So sorry to hear your news Poppy - FX for the next month! [big hug] Do you want to be back in the stats? wasn't sure where you'd prefer to be....hope that's an ok spot for you.

AF got me today, so I've updated my stats. Was rather down about it this morning, but I remind myself that we've not been trying for very long, and with travel and visitors, not every month has been best efforts! have lots of good resolutions for the month ahead! also thinking of going to see the GP - AF can be irregular, painful and heavy, so wondering if I should check to see if there's a problem, or whether it's just a question of being patient and keeping trying. Atleast if I went, I'd feel like I was doing something, so I think I might try to get an appointment.

Sorry eurochick crossed post! Thanks, I'll take a look at that thread, had felt it before but never linked the two and would be interesting to know. I'm very much going with the theory now that if I l over prepare I'll get pg! Like if you bring your brolley it won't rain! :)
Sounds like a good plan wouldbe! definitely can't hurt anyway. 6 months does seem like quite a long time, it's difficult not to think about it all the time after 1.5 months, we decided back in November so I guess it's been on my mind for a while, still, I think I'll be a mess if it ends up taking a year or more! 6 months I'm prepared for but it'll still feel like a long time!
bravegirl, boogiesbunny any news?

Thanks wouldbe I would like to be back on stats.

I have started taking Agnus Castus this cycle as I have heard lots of people say it has helped to shorted and regulate wayward cycles (especially those related to PCOS) so I am hoping that this will sort out my late ovulation. Have any of you tried this?

Adding myself back in....

So we are eurochick I also appear to have aged myself by a year! Not sure what's with that I'm only 28 honest!

hi everybody,
i am trying for my first baby and i hope i can join in here
Well my doc did not explain anything about clomid, i had to google it.
i mean seriously it costs alot with all the tests and stuff but i sucked it up and went thru with it. Now after finally prescribing clomid 50 mg i am on my 16th day of the cycle......the hardest part is the waiting.... well i really do hope it works even tho it is the first time because sad to say if it doesn't i think i might just quit because i have no support from family and the doctors are like blah....... my beau is being relly sweet thru it all but is getting really tired from my constant wanting to tango because he is in the army and works really weird and long hours. I am now turning to you guys with the last bit of hope i have left so i really do hope i am blessed with this baby.
And btw i haven't done the follicle tracking or routine check-ups. My doc has never brought that up except to say i should visit weekly and the visit costs alot and takes 5 mins at max. just for him to not even lift a finger but plast on a dumb smile and say how are u
well babydust to all those still trying i know how it feels.
Good Luck and hope all the love tango pays off :)

Hi Jamaican! welcome! We are a very friendly and equally obsessed lot so you will get plenty of support here!

Do you want to add your stats to the list? Are you new to mn, do you need any of the acronyms/stats explained?

:)

I'll settle in here after getting chucked off the february bus...

We're trying for number 1 having MC'd at 11wks last year. Just started last month, pulled my coil out on the 5th May and period started 22nd. SWI all the way down the line (sex drive much better now the coil's gone). Yesterday was feeling profoundly tired, hungry and nauseous in waves - very pregnantish - but thinking 'how on earth?' as the period was a light and short one for me...

but nah, think I was just tired :p

hi and thanks carlita

yes an explanation would be nice because sometimes the acronyms do get me a bit confused.
stats? yes sure. please explain also

and i did notice most ppl added their average cycle lengths and i dont know how important that is so......
this varies alot. between 40-50 days sometimes (rare) up to 60.

Hi can anyone help (and feel a tad niave about this) but I have been doing OV sticks and am now on day 18 but no surge detected. However I did have OV pains on days 16 and 17. Has anyone had something similar? Does this mean I did not ovulate this month as rather confusing. Have been ttc for a year and am 39 and have endometriosis. Thanks

No sign of AF and it's DS's 1st birthday tomorrow. Half of me thinks it would be a great day for a +ve test result, but the other half thinks it wouldn't like the disappointment. WWYD?
No sign of AF...this cycle is now at 38 days. It was my first period since DS, so perhaps my body will just take a while getting back in the swing.
Welcome Jamaican and Rosie - i'm terrible with acronyms, but AF = aunt flo (period). Sorry happystressedmum - I really don't know and that's not much help!

Welcome jamaican & rosie

happy when are you testing? It is possible to miss it depending on when you test and when you ov. How long are your cycles?

Hope you are all well, 6dpo here :)

Welcome newbies!!!! Rosie you pulled you're coil out yourself???? Oh my, you're brave....

Well we have been away for half term, managed a couple of sessions, hopefully at the right time... Just a waiting game now...

hello, can i join you please? DH and I had 'the conversation' yesterday and are now officially 'not trying to avoid pregnancy', 2nd marriage for us (other near adult DCs in both) and our DD had her first birthday yesterday.
have actually forgotten what to do to maximise chances so any advice warmly received.

Welcome to all the new folk! weimy 6dpo?any symptoms or are you trying not to spot them? fx!

Currently only on cd11 here so pretty boring. Another pregnancy announced at work today, was pretty hard to keep my smile going when I was really

Have become a bit obsessed with finding ways to possibly increase fertility this month, both DP and I are paranoid something will be wrong really excited so unfortunately he is encouraging this lol! So far I have bought some conceive plus and have started eating tapioca (as apparently cassava is fantastic for this and encourages hyperovulation increasing chances of twins! I am a twin so would be over the moon if I do have twins!) Have also just ordered some red clover drops as read this is the fertility herb!

Hopefully there is truth in some of the above!

twins....good luck!!!!

J's birthday arrived and so did AF. Actually I was disappointed so back to the bottom of the stats I go!
Have added the newbies but no stats to add...
