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 :)

Hi Festie and thanks for updating the stats - wow good luck with the wedding and BFP - busy times!

lindsell - I'm with you on lack of AF knowledge - came of pill nearly theee weeks ago with no 'proper' periods for 10 yrs... who knows when they will return?! Just hoping I'm not one of those people who has to wait a year for their cycle to get back to normal :(

Hello everyone. Well done on some first class administration with the stats loulou.

DH came home last night from 3 nights working away, he's raring to go with the old KQTUAAT routine. I told him that with AF due on Tuesday he should cool his boots (and other things) for a week or so. I'm saving my energy for the SWI marathon that starts sometime after next weekend.

festiemum congrats on your wedding Smile

congrats on your wedding festiemum! august is a great time for a wedding :o DH and I are celebrating our 1st anniversary on the 21st, hopefully with a BFP a week or two later!!

well done on the stats loulou!!

and KUMQUAT - Keep Up Mating! Quenelle's Uterine Attention Time! or maybe not... :o

Quenelle · 28/07/2011 09:58

Love it Grin!

louloubellamozzarella · 28/07/2011 10:02

KUMQUAT, I like it! I'm so not sitting at work trying to think of my own loulou-based acronym right now...

Kveta · 28/07/2011 11:01

hmm, LouLou is difficult. Loulou's Ovulation Urgency (twice?!) ?!

Kveta also difficult.

Kveta's Vertical Energetic Take Away?! OK, that's just words, not really an acronym of any use :o

anyone else? I'm supposed to be working... :o

Catsycat · 28/07/2011 11:25

CATSY - C'mon And Try Sh*ing Y'all????? Or is that just crude rather than an acronym?????

Kveta · 28/07/2011 11:27

excellent Catsy :o

louloubellamozzarella · 28/07/2011 11:36

Catsy - crude but funny!

Kveta, yes, like it, I could just settle for Lou once and call it the Lou Plan Grin

This is making the technicalities of TTC a lot more fun!

festiemum · 28/07/2011 11:40

Ha ha! Acronyms a go-go.

Mine is: F**king Every Second Tuesday Isn't Enough!! Grin

Kveta · 28/07/2011 11:46

he he, this is much more fun than writing a paper :o

love yours Festie :o

'K'opulating Very Enthusiatically's Totally Awesome - better for me?! or should I just name change?! stupid czech user name :o

louloubellamozzarella · 28/07/2011 11:55

In between acronym creating and deciding what manicure to have next week, this is really taxing me! Need to get back to work, I do have a job, honest...

Making me laugh at work!! Have been trying to figure out something for mamma on a postit note. There are now several screwed up postit notes on my desk!!

Kveta · 28/07/2011 12:06

your username can be shortened to MITM, so how about Mating In The Morning? :o

ok, I REALLY need to work now!

Quenelle · 28/07/2011 12:07

Kveta cheat use a fruit like I did.

Kveta Is Working It For Resulting Updiffedness In Triumph

Kveta · 28/07/2011 12:33

brilliant :o

Catsycat · 28/07/2011 12:53

Excellent work from everyone Grin! And soooooo much more fun than cleaning the toilet (which is what I should be doing, not just how I rate everything).

louloubellamozzarella · 28/07/2011 15:46

Definitely more fun than toilet cleaning. I've just googled 'fruits beginning with l' Blush

Tried 'lychee' but I am not having a creative day. However, I have discovered the following fruits that begin with 'l':

Lanzones
Lapsi
Lemon aspen
Lablab
Lulo
Lilly Pilly
Lillipilli
Leucaena

Who knew?!

festiemum · 28/07/2011 15:54

Wow! Thought I'd ended up in the baby names forum by mistake then!!! Wink

Quenelle · 28/07/2011 16:36

Lablab sounds kinda gynaecological...

Catsycat · 28/07/2011 20:20

Ha ha, Quenelle! I'm shocked!!!! Grin It does though.

I have a Lilli Pilli shampoo - it smells lovely! Didn't know it was a fruit though. Glad to see this thread is educational as well as fun...

louloubellamozzarella · 28/07/2011 21:33

And you thought you'd just learn about conception eh...

Lablab does sound gynaecological, teehee...in fact, the similar sounding word was the only one I could think of when trying to make 'lychee' into an acronym Blush - hence giving up!!

Aaaanyways I feel I've gone a little off-topic (put it down to fact that I've been at work all day now revising anatomy, zzzz). Any news anyone? My AF looks like it's arrived. Hope it's a short stay so I can get on with operation LOULOU asaps :)

mskatemc · 28/07/2011 23:33

I'll add mskatemc 35 ttc %231 AF due 15 Aug... Same day I drive up to Edinburgh for the festival. Will there be gin? Watch this space...

louloubellamozzarella · 29/07/2011 09:05

Hi mskate :) Hope you won't need to reach for the gin (although it's not a bad option if needs must!)

Anyone else wanna join in before I update the stats...?

Hi all been doing some working out and predict ovulation will be around Monday! Bloody typical as dh is on nights that week. We will have to be a little more adventurous although a bit tricky with three little ones on the go until 7pm.
