fingers crossed for everyone else as well xx

babybrain3 · 19/07/2011 08:26

Thanks Girlies!!!! This is defo a lucky thread!!!

littlejesamiah · 19/07/2011 08:28

Hi all newbie he
Wanted to join as good things seem to be happening on here I'm 29 tomorrow! Been ttc for 1 year got pcos already seeing a consultant.
cycle has no routine at all from 32 days to 47 days!!
I am using ovulation sticks as I never know if or when it's happeningSad
Congrats to all that are bfp I'm hoping to get on the 2012 bus too SmileSmileSmile
Xx

Tw1nkle · 19/07/2011 08:31

Hi littlejesamiah - welcome to the thred! I've been TTC since February last year - I had endometriosis, so that didn't help.
I use ovulations sticks too - but i'm not convinced they work!

Good Luck.....

sprinkles77 · 19/07/2011 08:51

Hi, can I join? we were TTC a 2011 baby but have missed that boat (unless I have a very prem one, and I'd rather not)! Anyway, AF came this morning. I'm cycle 5 as of today and started using CBFM last cycle. This is TTC baby number 2. littlejesamiah i found that the internet OPK sticks didn't show any +ves. Last month the CBFM showed me ovulating but did not pick up the LH surge (i.e. the same as the OPK sticks), so am interested to see what CBFM picks up this cycle. If you want a CBFM they are cheap on amazon as are the matching sticks.

louloubellamozzarella · 19/07/2011 09:08

Congrats on the +ve tests ladies! Hopefully some of this luck will rub off :)

Ok, stats wise not too much to add I'm afraid but:

louloubellamozzarella (27)TTC #1 - not counting (yet Wink)

I suspect my progress will depend on how quickly the dreaded pill hormones take to leave my body. Anyone had any good/bad experiences of this that they'd like to share?

itsohsoquiet · 19/07/2011 09:30

Hi to all the newbies, hope your stay here is a short one! Grin

I've got a persona monitor I bought off ebay for about £15 so if anyone is after a cheap one have a look on there. Apparently it?s made by clearblue and you can use the clearblue sticks in it.

Told myself I wouldn?t get too obsessed and use it in the first few months but now wouldn?t be able to use it anyway as I can?t distinguish which day is cd1 !!

Last proper AF was 8th June but had light bleed on 3rd July for 3 days and very light bleeding again today Confused

freedom2011 · 19/07/2011 09:41

well done babybrain! congratulations. Grin

toddle · 19/07/2011 09:50

Yey! Awesome news to start the day! Congratulations babybrain :)

Carlitawantsababy · 19/07/2011 14:50

Woo hoo! Congratulations freedom and babybrain! fab news, what an awesome thread!please can someone with a computer update the stats soon? Really want to see myself on the graduates list! Smile

BunMyOven · 19/07/2011 15:41

Oh good god! Trope you are to start all new TTC threads from now on, clearly a lucky charm! Grin Huge congratulations to you three baby, freedom and Carlita! Absolutely brilliant! Hope this is a trend set for the thread Smile

Just popping my head round the door to let you all know that I had my first scan on Friday and everything seems fine, 12 weeks gone so a late January baby Smile

Will keep checking up to see how you're all doing as I'm loving seeing you all get your BFP's. Thanks for all the support ladies, you really saved me from going completely bonkers whilst TTC x

weimy · 19/07/2011 17:53

Couldn't stop myself taking a sneaky peek!

Congratulations carlita freedom and babybrain !!!!!!!!!

Am keeping everything crossed for everyone else as well Grin

toddle · 19/07/2011 18:29

littlejesamiah · 19/07/2011 19:25

Thanks Tw1nkle

I'm not sure they work as never had a +itve either. DH is so laid back about things I wish I could be! Envy
Congrats to the peeps who have graduated and good luck to everyone else here's hoping for lots of bfps on this thread xxxx

Poppyjen · 19/07/2011 19:33

Hello ladies, not MIA anymore, here I am :)

AF showed up a couple of weeks ago for me which wasn't altogether bad news, means post mc cycle was 38 days (as opposed to the 55 days I had had previously) so that's a bit more manageable. To those who have mentioned long and unpredictable cycles - I feel your pain! I have PCOS too. I have been taking Agnus Castus last cycle and this current one in attempt to bring a bit of order to the chaos so we'll see how that goes...

CD 15 today and sign of ovulation yet. I have been using OPKs everyday from CD8 so I can be sure (don't worry they are internet cheapies...I would be broke otherwise Wink ) and using Fertility Friend again.

Feeling a lot more relaxed this cycle, partly as I am due to go away for pretty much all of August without DH (DS and I are off to do a grand tour of the relatives with my parents Smile ) so If I don't ovulate before 31st July then we're out until September anyway!

Anyway - stats again updated Smile

louloubellamozarella I got preg first cycle TTC DC1. Didn't take any break at all just went for it first opportunity! Hope you have the same good luck.

Carlitawantsababy · 19/07/2011 21:50

Thanks toddle for updating! Congratulations on your house!
bun so glad it's all going well for you, must be great to get to that 12 week mark!
Hi weimy glad you popped in!
poppy glad you are having some success in taming your cycles!

louloubellamozzarella · 19/07/2011 21:52

Wow sprinkles, that's encouraging Grin. I have to say, coming off the pill has really boosted the ol' libido Wink - I generally feel better for getting it out of my system as a decade of hormone control is a long time!

I guess these things are completely unpredictable to start with and everyone seems to be different. I've heard quite a few negative things about coming off the pill I was on and that it would take ages for normal cycles to return. For now, I'm just enjoying not having to remember to pop a pill every day - I'm rubbish at remembering (a wonder I'm not preggers already haha :S).

LittleDragon · 19/07/2011 21:58

Hi all. Can I join?
I'm new to TTC as my DS was unplanned. I'm confused as to the best way to go. Is it best to chart or use OPKs?
DP and I have just decided to start TTC and my cousin advised me to come here(she is a mumsnetter but not TTC).
I think this is my stats but not sure if done them right

peapop · 20/07/2011 19:39

Evening ladies and welcome to the newbies! Smile

I'm 5dpo and symptom spotting like mad Grin TMI alert but have had yellow tinted cm today?! Loads of it too, don't remember having this during other cycles. Did the worst thing and googled it and apparently it's an early pregnancy sign! I'm also totally worn out, have been coming home the past couple of afternoons and dozing on the sofa and despite that I can still barely keep my eyes open. Have had waves of nausea too despite feeling starving hungry all day too?! Hmm Driving myself mad ha ha!

Poppyjen · 20/07/2011 19:48

Peapop just to add to your symptom spotting madness, I had exactly that with my (mc) BFP and also had that a lot when pg with DS. Last BFP that's the thing that made me wonder - last cycle (BFN) I didn't have that at all.... Fingers crossed Grin

Not much to report here, CD 16 and no ovulation yet according to temps and OPKs.... ho hum.
