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].

AF got me yesterday....

worldgonemad72 · 22/06/2011 21:20

well 4 days to go before af is due, have got no signs of it starting anytime soon Smile been sympton spotting like mad and fingers crossed this is the month for us.

babybrain3 · 22/06/2011 21:50

Fx for you world we need some positives!!!

stuffthenonsense · 23/06/2011 08:45

its very quiet on here lately!
anyone got any positive vibes for this month?

i remember very well when i was ttc no1, during that time 2 of my SILs announced pregnancy, each time i felt faint, its truly awful, and not selfish IMO but a perfectly natural reaction.
on the flip side i have also been in the position of announcing a pregnancy to people i knew who had been ttc for over a year, that was so very very difficult, i dont think there is an easy way to do it.

5dpo here, imagining all kinds of symptoms

peapop · 23/06/2011 12:37

Yes I know that feeling, seems like the whole world is pregnant at the moment. I'm finding it hard as I don't usually get jealous but I'm practically green constantly at the moment!

I'm 10dpo, by this point last cycle I'd already had a days worth of spotting. Nothing so far although I have had some cramps. I'm absolutely convinced this is our month as feel we've done everything right but am trying to hold off til monday at the earliest to test.

Fx we all get some bfps soon!

eurochick · 23/06/2011 13:48

I'm 4dpo. And trying not to think about it too much/symptom spot.

harmonyb23 · 23/06/2011 15:23

Hello, my name is Becky and I am TTC DC3. I had my youngest 8 months ago and have had the contraceptive implant ever since. I am having the implant removed on Monday and will be hoping to conceive anytime after that. Really excited. I have two boys; Ben who is 7 nearly 8 years old and Aiden who is 8 months. Hoping for a girl this time but another boy would be just as well received.

How is everyone doing? I will update soon as I have my first AF and can start tracking my cycles. I had a period recently - about 2 weeks ago - but have started bleeding again this week so I am not sure whether it is an actual AF or whether it is just down to my hormones on the implant?

Hope everyone is well, I will reappear once I have had my implant removed. So excited!!! x x x

Fx pea and euro!!!

peapop · 25/06/2011 12:08

Welcome harmony ! Fx euro Smile

Sad I started spotting yesterday, af definitely on its way as this is how it started last month- a few days of spotting then very painful af. Have had painful cramps and twinges all last night and this morning too. Gutted.

I'm now convinced I have a luteal phase defect as my last 3 af's have begun with 5-6 days of spotting first from around 9dpo, this month I made it to 11dpo but I have read that anything 10-12dpo could mean a problem.

So I think I'll take myself off to see the doc this week and have a chat about it, we haven't been trying very long at all but I feel it's a good enough reason to go bothering them, at least just to put my mind at rest. I have also bought some vitamin b6 to start taking and have read using progesterone cream from ovulation can help too so may have to purchase some of that?!

Anyway, sorry for the selfish post, hope you are all having a lovely weekend, Smile

eurochick · 25/06/2011 13:10

Sorry to hear that peapop

I have a 12 day LP (11 before I started acupuncture) but without spotting. I started B6 this month, around mid cycle, so I will see if that helps it all.

I am 6dpo now,expecting AF next Saturday.

Hello to everyone else. I hope you are having good weekends. I am stuck in the ofice, so quite grumpy!

worldgonemad72 · 26/06/2011 06:49

AF due today, no sign at all and usually get lots of cramping the night before, been very tired all this week and getting a few queasy moments(normally get very bad sickness throughout my pregnancies). im so hopng that this is the month for us. Going do my shopping and pick up a test this morning so will keep you all informed!!

babybrain3 · 26/06/2011 09:28

Hope it's good news world!!!!!

weimy · 26/06/2011 16:20

Hi All!

I usually start spotting at 10dpo is that bad then? Could explain a lot for me.

We need someone to start a new thread soon as this is getting full. I am taking a break after this cycle. Due to ov today or tomorrow.

Hi to all newbies!!!

Big fx world!!!

peapop · 26/06/2011 17:15

fx world !

weimy from what I've read on the internet any spotting from 12dpo or before could be a problem as you may not be able to sustain a pregnancy because the lining begins to break down, bringing on bleeding and causing an early miscarriage. I'm trying not to worry about it until I've heard what my gp has to say though as surely everyones cycle is different so better to hear it from a doc than driving myself mad with google Hmm

In other news it seems I'm not the only one paranoid something is wrong... dp is convinced there is something wrong with his swimmers so has just ordered a self test kit!! Yikes!!

Congratulations world!! Fanbloodytastic Grin

Just a quick update, pregnancy appears to be going well, still plenty of sickness (have lost 4lbs because of it), counting down the days until my scan. We also got the sea front flat we were after, picked up the keys on saturday! Very exciting times Smile

Lets keep the good news coming ladies! Fingers firmly crossed for you all.

RosyRosie · 27/06/2011 10:57

Congrats world!!!!

toddle · 27/06/2011 13:00

thats amazing world. :) yey...

wiemy not that we would have come to taking a break ourselfs but dp being away mid cycle this month has taken a massive weight of our shoulders. I feel so much more relaxed because we didnt DTD when we think would be 'right' time, im just a bit chilled about it all. Usually i know my cycle date, dpo and couting days down untill af arrives and i honestly couldnt remember any of them right now.

two of my friends had babys this week! first one arrived on time at 11.14 Shock and the second was 6.4 month and a half early. they even made dp broody :)

stuffthenonsense · 27/06/2011 14:45

congratulations world! hoping for more BFPs soon....

emmaloupolman · 27/06/2011 19:34

Well af got me on my wedding day saturday Sad none the less had a great day Smile

worldgonemad72 · 27/06/2011 20:11

thanks everyone, its finally starting to sink in, just hope everything goes ok, sorry to hear that emma, congratulations on getting married though, maybe you will get a honeymoon baby?? Smile
