Let's make some May babies

[louloubellamozzarella]

The end of July is drawing near; SWI with DP hasn't been as frequent as hoped; and I've decided to err on the side of caution.

So. Here's a thread for anyone else hoping to make a beautiful May 2012 baby.

I am 27 and TTC #1. Been on pill for an age so unsure of cycles. Only been trying for a couple of weeks - the more I type the more I note my wild optimism!!

Anyone else who knows more about this business than I do? Please come and give me some hope that a May baby might be at all possible :)

hello all

Is there any room for a little one?
we had actually decided last month was our last one TTC#3 as it was becoming increasingly stressful and also the fact we got cold feet and scared ourselves by writing down all our outgoings
However we decided on one last try,so here i am

Mrsshears(32)TTC#3(post mc in feb)AF due 29th august(ish)

Hello everyone,

Any room for an extra in here?? DH and I have been TTC #1 for 3 months now, was so certain that it had been successful but the witch got me over the weekend! So we are on to round 4 and hoping to make it a successful one.

Good luck to all those testing soon :) And congratulations to those with their BFPs - hope to be joining that crew very soon!! :O

Hi everyone just dropping in been bit hectic so haven't posted for a bit I'm very sorry to here some of the sad news hope you are doing as well as can be.

Hope the wedding day Is fab and you get your positive.

Done another couple of tests and def bfp feeling soo tired but very excited.

Thanks all!

Oh Catsy what a shit, I'm sorry you're back on the bus!

Well, as is always the way; testing was utterly inconclusive this morning!! Did a Superdrug (which are supposed to be good and sensitive) and potentially got a VERY faint line, but it's so faint, I can't tell if it has colour in it or not, so it could very well be an evap. Did a cheapie internet stick afterwards and that was resolutely a BFN.... So, none the wiser really. Gonna have to wait til fri (when af is possibly due; but only had my merina out last month, so who knows?!!) and test test test again!!!!!

Gonna have a good day anyway!!

Cheers! :)

Hi all, and welcome on board newcomers!
Gutted for you Catsy :( how rubbish, hope you're ok. Good luck with the testing, I really hope all is well and it's just a case of trying again.
threecurrantbuns, glad your BFP is definite, when would your due date be do you think??
I'm just past mid-cycle now and feeling shattered from all the late night sex, hope we've got it covered now, I need a break!!!!

Oh so sorry catsy, hope you doing ok.
Welcome GTR2882 and mrsshears
Oh festie have a great day and hope you get a bfp soon

Happy wedding day, festie; have a wonderful day!

Sorry to hear that Catsy; but we shall enjoy the pleasure of your company until your BFP appears :)

From doing some rough guesstimations (based on possible period dates and assumption that my cycle is 28 days having not had a cycle for nine years... ), I think I'll be testing next weekend. This imaginary date is mostly to stop me blowing ££s on testing every day!

Hi GTR and mrsshears, welcome welcome. Good luck with your endeavours.

On another note, I really hope that no one looks too closely in our recycling box before it's collected next week - realised last night it contains empty boxes for preseed, conception vitamins and preg tests...yeah I'm really not that bothered about TTC, just leaving it to chance...

Happy Wedding Day festie I hope you have a lovely day. Sorry the test was inconclusive, it wasn't a BFN though...

Sorry AF arrived Catsycat

puzzletree you're at the same point in cycle as me. We SWI last night and both of us were yawning away as we got into bed, not at all conducive to energetic lurve making. I've told DH we've done all we can do this month, I think he's quite relieved.

Welcome aboard GTR2882 and mrsshears, grab a tiny bikini and a cocktail and join us bathing beauties on the deck.

Thanks orangehead, louloubellamozzarella and Quenelle for the welcome!! Never thought TTC would be this stressful or complicated. Thank God for this thread!! DH does not understand the full mechanics of it all!!

Hi all, can I have a ticket please?
August AF due in 2 days but got a BFN today so I'm jumping off the April Bus before it crashes . This will be cycle 6 TTC, husband still certain we're just not SWI enough but I'm trying to push him to cut down on caffeine (he is a pro-plus-a-holic)

Sn0wgoose(27) TTC1, AF due 16 Sep

GTR2882 same here!! DH thinks we just need more, he won't be told about ovulation windows etc etc, sigh

I hear you Sn0wGoose - if only my DH was the same; he thinks that we do it once and that's it - we have conceived! Not that he complains if we have to do it again .

I have just ordered some Pre-Seed, have heard it works wonders, so going to give that a go this month to see if i can board that May bus for sure :)

All this SWI I don't know what else to think about it's now cd14 and we have swi'd everyday so far from cd10 although I haven't ovulated at all the whole 11 months we've been ttc but maybe this month. Going to go to every otherday as the pressure is killing dh bless him is every other day alright do you think?? As I may not even ovulate this month I don't want to overdo it hmmm... Everyday or every other day... That is the question x

pinkapples I have read that sperm can survive in fertile conditions for up to 5 days so every other day outside of this should be ok and maybe everyday during your fertile period (just to make sure)

Every other day is good - my doc even said every 3rd day as a rest gives the sperm some time to build up some energy. Don't know about you lot but have been doing it every day for 9 days now (holiday) and am exhausted! Had to have a rest day yesterday as thought I had dislocated my hip after Monday. Back on the job today though. Yes sir, Sergeant NotNow reporting for duty sir!

Wow, that's some very enthusiastic SWI, notnow! ;)

Think we'll go To every other day, have just got some pre seed and a ovatel so hopefully that will help if my body ever decides to ovulate!!! I don't know when my fertile period is if any so... Ever other day will do I think thanks ladies

Crap day :( didn't know if I should smile or cry. I've put weight on errantly and decided to go for the smock look to cover up, I carry it all on my tummy (at the front) and someone at work commented and thinks I'm pregnant. I asked if she could his the door as was carrying a big box. She's actually pregnant and I said 'how are you'. She replied " fine....how are you (with a you too, lots of enthusiasm way) you should be careful carrying a big box like that"

The moment passed bug to I go back get her? Maybe I'm reading into it. I'm OV and so bloated! we're ttc with daily SWI but I doubt you'd see anything yet even if I were. I'm sure it's fat and bloat

X

Aw poor you Tibby. That woman sounds a bit presumptuous!! I would try not to look too far into it though if I were you - she might not have meant anything - but if she did, she needs to get her facts checked!!

If it makes you feel any better, I've just rounded off a crappy day (shattered but with loads of work to do) by falling down the stairs outside my flat giving myself a lovely scraped ankle. It's one of those days that just needs to end.

I'm also feeling bleurgh due to bloating. I think mine's just down to eating way too much bread and rubbish these past few weeks though . There was an article the other day in the Daily Mail about the things behind bloating which was interesting... yes I KNOW it's DM but did have some interesting suggestions!

Happy wedding day festie!

Hello to everyone new fingers andntoes crossed for you all!

Thank you everyone for being so lovely to me the other day - still feeling rotten but have taken a day off work and DH has been wonderful in making me cups of tea and giving me shoulder rubs so I really can't complain!

Oh Tibby that must be so annoying :-( last month when I was convinced I was going to get a BFP and feeling horrendously bloated I got offered a seat on the tube by someone who glanced at my tummy then my face then offered me a seat. Felt rubbish about it the next day when AF came along, but no one has offered me a seat since then, so I'm putting it down to tunic-y tops rather than carrying extra ££!!!

Ok well if I'm not preggo I certainly look it with being so bloated. Probably AF coming to visit. Cow.

Welcome Sn0wGoose
Sorry your having crap day tibby, I find it so rude when people comment about you being pregnant unless they know you are. I have been asked if I am are really horrible times. Hope you feeling better soon.
Loulou that not good

Morning all. I'm feeling a bit more positive today! How's everyone's operation KUMQUAT etc etc going?

Just realised I've forgotten my four year anniversary with DP - oooops! He didn't remember either - how bad is that .

Ok so along with a snuffly cold and tummy cramps, tiredness and bloating, can I add forgetfulness to my phantom pregnancy signs?! Starting to wish I could forget that I'm TTC at all - I am an overthinker at the best of times but this symptoms business is doing my head in!

Morning louloubella my head is also being done in. Operation KUMQUAT ended on Tuesday and I am now firmly in Two Week Wait Madness. Today I'm feeling quite down because I'm not feeling any definite pg symptoms. I have boobage feelings that could just as likely be PMT and twinges in my groinall area that could just as likely be hip flexor pain from running at the age of 42. I still had a bit of a dicky tummy today but I think that's still the after effects of the Boots Conception Support - the metallic taste has gone though.

And I'm only 4DPO...

Tibby sorry about what happened to you yesterday. As ChocolateWindmill says it's probably because of the the tunicy top.

I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday Festie. And perhaps a nice BFP this morning to mark your first full day of married life...?

I need a hug :(

I am having a horrible horrible week at work and I'm about 4DPO and I feel sick and shaky but I can't decide if it's related to operation duckling or if it's because of work. Sob! I just ate but I don't feel any better.

I think I have v little chance of getting on the bus this time around but I can't help really, really hoping we've cracked it first time.
