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 :)

Thanks guys! I have cocked up again, I can't seem to do this right! Went into town to get some tests (live in the middle of NOWHERE!), decided to pop into a public loo and POAS and then basically missed I think! There looked like there was wee on the wick, but nothing happened! So, being a resourceful sorta girl; pulled the wick out, dried it on a tissue and decided to try again at home!
(God, TTC is like an endless round of TMI, isn't it? Sorry!)
Anyway, this time I did it properly, but only got the faintest line you've ever seen again.... AF was due on Fri or Sat; surely the lines should be getting stronger?! Wondering if I did get pregnant but it's not developing? That said, tiredness and retching continues with a vengeance!

oooh...it's cheaper on Amazon :)

Bwahahahaha....waste not want not festie! :o

Well, I've always heard that a line is a line is a line (and all that). Fingers crossed it's a sticky one chicken :)

Festie if you were in a public toilet are you sure it was only your wee on the stick?

< voms >

But seriously, can you ask your GP to do a blood test? Do GPs still do them?

I'm confused. Is the pre-seed for the tunnel, or the actual mothership?

Got some cramps earlier, so POAOS early as I was convinced I'd be ovulating. No. Must just be my cervix's way of telling me to stop poking it in the nose/bottom lip...

1st wedding anniversary tomorrow, so will be SWI anyway, and a long weekend at my parents' in Norfolk means if I ovulate then, we'll have to be sneaky DTD or we'll wake the dog up!

Keep testing festie, those signs sound good to me!

Now. Chocolate buttons... or removing off-key plaster? Hmm.

Chocolate buttons, of course! Silly question! :o

Erm, well if by the 'tunnel' you mean do you stick it up your hoo-ha, then yes, it's for the tunnel! :o

It's for the tunnel. At the top. And all the way down. And around the outside.

< slips off chair >

Bwahahahahaha Quenelle :o :o :o

He he he he he :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Will do a FMU tom in a little dippy pot, so I can't miss! (Hmm, I hope it was my wee on there, Quenelle! )

Puts a whole new meaning to 'Can you get pregnant from a toilet seat?'

< really disgusted now >

Thanks for that Quenelle! :o :o :o

I think it's time to get yer coat :o

hi guys

Well, I have done all I can (that was a fun 4 days)! and I'm playing the waiting game. I need to keep myself busy to stop thinking about it. I wonder how much of our physical symptoms are in our heads? I was convinced I was preggers last month with headaches, cramps, nausea and metallic taste in mouth but obviously wasn't. I hate this waiting and pretend symptoms

TTC number 2, AF due 5 Sept - please can you add me to the May bus!

Good luck with those BFP everyone xx

Fingers (but never legs) crossed for you spatelaxe :)

well ladies i've seen my beach,bustop, rest point and climbing off!
AF turned up about midday and so i guess i will stand here with my oyster card, and wait for the June thread!!!!!!!
im actually ok about it maybe it was expecting too much too some after MMC so good news my cycle aint as long as i thought! and i have returned to my AF date pre MMC!!!!!!!!!! also my cousins baby boy was born within 2 hrs!!!!!!!
cant wait for a hold!
all the best for all the POAS and the positive results!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope i dont see you on the other bus( no offence)

right im off to pamper myself and get my nails done!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry the ole bag turned up mama...but come join us on the friendly (and it has to be said, rather fruity) June bus HERE.

Like you say though, the positive is that your cycle seems to have sorted itself out, so it's full steam ahead! Best warn your OH! :)

On the train home and already seen 2 babies and one pregnant lady!!! Argh no fair!!!! Why is TTC so god damn tricksty! :(

Oh no mama. :( Best of luck for next month.

gtr I know what you mean. They're EVERYWHERE! Another two (different) friends announced last night that they were pregnant. I am so happy for them but just very, very jealous! Would help if they knew we are trying and why it's such a big deal for us. (DH tested positive for huntington's disease at the start of the year and it's been a big decision to try for another dc).

And so, yoga positions everyone. Enter a state of zen-like calm and positivity, and meditate. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Nope. Does nothing for me.

Baseball bat and something breakable anyone??

Ahhhhhh! That's better.

Gosh Badger - so sorry to hear about DH's Huntingdon's. That's a rough one, I can understand why it's been such a big decision to try for another DC.

Will you have plenty of support for yourself for later on when things become challenging for him? How old is he, if you don't mind me asking? x

10 DPO and OMG MY BOOBS. What are they doing?! I swear I swear I swear they have never felt like this before. I had to go to M&S at lunch to find a soft cup bra and am having to wear it under my PJs. Husband was only too happy to have a feel (I may have marched up to him, whipped off my bra and demanded he examine them because they feel odd ) but he reckons they are normal. But the insides of them feel tingly and... making themselves known. I mean, they're fairly sizeable norks anyway but I don't normally notice them as much as I have done today.

No nausea or dry heaving today (phew) but I just drank mint tea. Also I have fits of exhaustion then perk up again. Bah I'm getting really impatient now...

Shit, Badger, I'm so sorry about your husband. How's the short-term prognosis? I am gutted for you :(

Thank you
He's 30 and has no symptoms, thank god, and may never get any. Unfortunately there is no pattern to it and even though his mum and brother have it, it is extremely unlikely to develop the same as theirs. The only people who know are his brother, (cos he got tested at the same time,) my folks and brother and some of my close friends. But we haven't told anyone about trying for another baby cos people have such differing opinions; "You shouldn't have a child knowing they have a 50:50 chance of inheriting", "just go ahead, worse things could happen than Huntington's", "go for pgd ivf as you know you'll have a child without the disease", go ahead and then do cvs and terminate if they have the gene".
At the mo though we can focus on MIL, who hasn't got bad symptoms yet, and that takes our mind off it all. Anyway, this is for another topic, another thread...

Oooh milder sounds promising!! Was it yours that were like risen pizza dough?? Need some more BFP's on this thread!

Sorry desperate, you asked about support for later. The disease has split his family somewhat as his parents knew his gran had it and that it was hereditary but never told anyone (apart from their friends at the time who were sworn to secrecy!). But my family will be supportive, practically. Emotionally right now? No way!! My mum doesn't do emotion. Must be why I am such a cold hearted old goat!

Feels better just typing these last two posts. Maybe that meditation helped after all!

Gosh sorry about dh Badger, can understand it being a difficult decision. But it is yours and dh decision. Although people like to put there opinions in they don't matter and should butt out
sorry quenelle about af.
Well Im out, af arrived this afternoon, cant believe I am going on to month 9 , think I might leave this buses for a couple of months. (That might not last, I might be posting back in a couple of days)
Wishing lots of bfp for you all

Greetings ladies!

Commiserations to those of you have had the return of the old witch

And congratulations to all who have a BFP

Now this is our first month of ttc, swi is going well thus far. Between being newly weds and coming off the pill my sex drive has improved, ten fold, much to dh delight!

Now I have no idea about my normal monthly cycle as I have been on the pill since I was 19, almost 10 years in total. I'm trying not to symptom spot, but my boobs are sore, my gums have been bleeding (my sisters did this when she was pregnant), I have been gorging on chocolate like there is no tomorrow. I logically know that these could all be symptoms of an impending Af, but I keep finding myself looking at signs and symptoms of pregnancy and eyeing up pregnancy tests in the supermarket. I'm becoming obsessed!

Im Not sure when I should do a test as I before the pill my periods were irregular, my withdrawal bleed arrived on the 5th of August. Do any of you have any idea when I should realistically POAS?
