Morning folks! Waitingforstork, I'm in Scotland too, hopefully two tartan babies this month! Although I doubt it here, as only managed to swi once so far! Gah!

WaitingforStork · 05/04/2011 12:59

Not sure what I would do if it came out tartan...!

It only takes once Esme (love Terry Pratchett by the way, hope that's were the name comes from or I'm going to look silly). That's the lie they tell you at school anyway, in my experience it's taken more then that to no avail so far. They convince you that looking at a boy will get you pregnant, lies and damned lies I tell you!

Mind you the teenagers puffing cigarettes over their buggies outside Primark that I've just passed obviously have a different story, it's just nor fair...

Hey Ladies,
Been a busy work day and feel stressed out, started this morning with DD being a right little madam :( and just long day at work.

Not doing anything over the easter period as DP goes to Las Vegas for 5 days on a lads holiday lucky sod. 8 days after hes home we go on our family holiday to Ibiza so moneys a little tight at the moment.

Waitingforstork I totally agree about the teenagers thing, if only it was as easy to get preggers as they all seem too.

Might be off to Aquafit tonight but we will have to see.

WaitingforStork · 05/04/2011 16:53

Sounds like a few of us are having an Easter holiday, hope you all have fun, and lots of alcohol lubricated SWI, seems to be the way to crack this thing! Only 3 more days til we go - can't wait. Work is so boring at the minute and the days stretch on and on. Also at pretty boring phase in cycle, no change of concieving yet and don't want to cash in all my tokens too soon.

Really nice evening here and would love to go and take my horse out but I'm sat in waiting for people to pick up some old furniture we're getting rid of.

DarciesmumandTTC2 · 05/04/2011 17:16

Enjoy your holiday and all that drunken fun Grin

Wish it was a nice evening here it's all wet and miserable :

Decided this 2ww is not good I'm not a patient person lol.
Also sorry if this is TMI but if I'm still getting EWM not alot but a bit does that mean I'm still ovulating?

EsmeWeatherwax · 05/04/2011 17:59

Have fun all you lucky holidaymakers! Wish we were going away cos it's minging weather here, and we're all a bit stir crazy after only two days of holidays! Dd1 is only in preschool for 2.5 hours per day, but it definitely makes a huge difference!

Darciesmum, sometimes I seem to get ewcm for a few days after I think fertile time has ended, I just look on it as an excuse to get in more swi!

DarciesmumandTTC2 · 05/04/2011 18:38

Yeah will try that on DP later Grin

emmaloupolman · 05/04/2011 21:25

Can i jump on the bus?

TTC #2 Cycle 19 AF due yesterday 4the april 28 - 33 day cycle

I have also been on clomid for 2 months

DarciesmumandTTC2 · 06/04/2011 17:59

Welcome EmmaLou

Hopefully you'll be lucky this month along with the rest of us :)

2ww is pants :( didn't really get symptoms with DD - didn't find out till I was between 16 & 18 wks.

Trying not to think about it so it's not a psychological pregnancy lol.

EsmeWeatherwax · 06/04/2011 18:02

Hello EmmaLou, fingers crossed for you! Think I'm on the 2ww now too, shouldn't complain, is only cycle 1, but yuck none the less!

Darciesmum, with both dd's it was the only month I didn't get any symptoms. They turned up later mind you, in abundance!

DarciesmumandTTC2 · 06/04/2011 18:31

Thanks for the reassurance Esme

Agree about the symptoms later on tho. Would be great if first time lucky this month. Grin

Morning ladies well started the swi last night Blush not quite sure what cd I'm on as my period was a bit strange!! The 2ww will be here before I know :)

WaitingforStork · 07/04/2011 07:56

Hello, and welcome new passengers!

Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday and am going on holiday tomorrow so I woun't be around much for the next week. Just wanted to wish you all luck with your SWI/testing/waiting, whatever you're up to when I'm gone.

CD7 here so by the time I get back the SWI will be winding down and I'll be settling into another 2ww.

:)

EsmeWeatherwax · 07/04/2011 16:10

Enjoy your holiday waitingforstork, hope its fun, with lots of swi!

Think I'm heading into the 2ww, though still seems to be ewcm around, so might have another go tonight!

Just thanking the holiday fairy for some sun at last! Dd's are loving finally getting out to play!

DarciesmumandTTC2 · 07/04/2011 19:53

Waitingforstork hope you have a lovely holiday :)

Weather has been beautiful here today. My project at work is coming together which is brilliant, hopefully have enough done to show at next weeks Thursday meeting :)

Esme I had that for another couple of days after I thought ov had finished, however couldn't persuade DP to swi for those days :(

tobytoes · 07/04/2011 20:19

Well I think I'll be kicked off this bus soon. Pretty sure Im not pg.My period is due today according to my calculations(i think) and I used a first response pg test but it was negative. Surely if im due today i'd have had a postive result by now???

Levana · 07/04/2011 20:52

Hi everyone, best wishes to you all. My stats are;

Levana , TTC#1 Cycle 3 UCL 30days AF 30 April

I have finally finished my AF and am now on to cycle day CD9 but have another week before ov... so boring though the 2ww will be next and is anything but boring, more hellish stress ime!

hi tobeytoes i was late last month and i remember reading pregnancy tests results are the most reliable a week! after you missed period. The day your due is still a bit early though something like a 97% accuracy. Fx for you this month.

CODwidow · 07/04/2011 21:07

toby let us know how you getting on, fx for some bfp soon xx

pigletmania · 10/04/2011 08:34

I apologise in advance if I am being a misery, I have had a couple of MC, one 2 months ago, and been trying for around 2 years with nothing, whilst everyone around me is getting pg with baby number 2,3,4. I know I am lucky that I have my dd.

I feel that you guys should just shag to enjoy and not try for a baby, if BFP happens thats great if it doesent it doesent. Dont focus too much getting on a particular bus as it will just stress you, just try (i know) to take it how it comes. Thats what i am telling myself, and have taken up Yoga to help relax and other fitness just to take my mind off things, until the next person tells me their pg grrrrrrrrr.

Oh piglet so sorry for your losses thank you for sharing your words of advice and experiences, I am sure all of us would like to relax about ttc but it is easier said than done, I have to say I'm on my 5th cycle and have been more relaxed and have thought it will happen when it's ready, I just try and dtd at the rightish time, all the very best for your ttc journey and I hope we see a bfp for you soon :)

pigletmania · 10/04/2011 08:57

Good luck to you all, really hope that you get a BFP that results in a lovely little baby at the end. I have lost count of the number of cyles ive been trying must be about 24+. I am feeling a little sick this morning, hoping that i might be pg, AF due next week, but must be the stale pate i ate this morning though it was fine when i ate it yesterday and tasted fine today.
