Everyone please feel free to add yourself to the list - it got a bit too confusing when I tried to carry on this is the point at which I gave up. Could you lot sitting next to me add your due dates to the list?

Congrats pony that's great news. What a nice start to the new year :)

Oh my, stop the bus Ineed to get on! Standing room only here.

Found this forum yesterday and you all seem lively... I mean lovely. (will figure out the strike through later)

(30) ttc #1 AF due jan 12 so we are in the tww club.
1st month so not really expecting anything but so hard not to get the hopes up.

Married in July, on our honeymoon (conceptimoon) in australia ay the moment. Staying with SIL AND M/DIL but have still managed EOD, so fingers crossed! AF due to arrive the day we fly home so will likely poas that morning. I brought one with me.
this morning are a banana for breakfast and felt ill, so the ss begins. :s

Now that my poas/ttc/etc Anonymous speech is over, gives a little wave and finds a place to stand on the bus.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone else!

Congratulations ponyclub, what a way to see in the new year! Fantastic.

And welcome Beebles, everything crossed for a honeymoon bfp for you.

We've had a wonderful Christmas in the uk with my family, and have done lots of wedding planning while we have the chance. Wedding dress shopping has persuaded me to give ttc a rest for a couple of months - I've seen a dress I love, and whilst I can get away with being 3 or 4 months gone, 6 or 7 months won't work! So dp and I have decided to put baby plans on hold, just for a couple of months.... A bit about it but I know it's sensible!

Thanks everyone!

Good luck to you all with the baby making and the wedding planning! :)

Secret I'm not planning on going back to contraception, if that's what you mean, just avoiding fertile days for a couple of months rather than targeting them!

I'm still monitoring my cycle etc, and I'll still be checking in here and on Fb on a regular basis....

Bought my dress yesterday - I'll upload a pic when I get back on the laptop rather than the iPod - I'm so excited now!!

Hello all, this is Nivea, new name...

Pony congrats! What a lovely day to find out on :) difficulttimes, great news for you too

Cycle has been all over for a while now but I am now on day 32 and no signs of AF. Ooh la la! Would make my age gap 23mths, which to me is pretty perfect.

Hey ladies!

Hope all had a happy xmas and new year! BIG CONGRATS to you ladies that got their bfp's! How exciting.

Spent xmas day at my M/FIL'S house listening to SIL's baby plans. She is due in March and I am really happy for them both but I can't help but want to cry! (I'm a horrible person I know!) We mustve started SWI about the time they did. Still no joy, AF arrived 17 Dec!

Think I may try charting. Has anyone any experience/ advice? Also any advice to stop me losing the plot?

Any of you gals plauged with PCOS too?

Dubai,fingers crossed for you! Are u you going to test our k just wait and see? ( please exist my typing, darn mobile phone) *excuse not exist ... Grumble

Ooo good luck dubai!

Thank you! Day 33 and still no signs of AF... Thing is I have had such irregular cycles for ages I want to test don't want to test IYSWIM? I ve also got a stinking cold and I think that a) if it was BFP I d be to tired and poorly to really enjoy the momenet and b) if it was BFN I d just feel all the more crap! So just waiting and mn-ing in bed for a while longer :) good luck to all x

32 days secret! Not been doing anything at all as last time around TTC became so stressful, then when we were liertally just about to start IVF I fell pregnant. So this time we thought we'd just go contraception free for a few months, not think about it at all yeah right and see what happens. I just can't bear the thought of starting with charts, temps possible IVF at wot not at the moment, it just reminds me of that long time of thinking it all might never happen.

Day 34 and two clear blue tests which initially looked negative but when I checked again an hour later both have feint crosses. Anyone else had this? I've read about evaporation lines...

New to this thread and just need some positive vibes coming my way! :-) Been ttc since last May when we had a mmc with our first at 17 wks. Getting desperate now, and don't have girlfriends to talk to, because they all have 2-3 kids and just give advice like 'stop stressing it will happen!"!! (because it was that easy for them) aggh! I'm 37. Feel like time is running out, and hate feeling obsessed with days of my cycle and test kits! None of them understand how I felt about losing the baby either, and still do, feel like I'm in some alien world. Just done a pg test and got a bfn. Boobs feel enormous tho. How early is too early to test! ?

Hi kite welcome. So sorry about your mmc. Wishing you loads of luck and baby dust!

I can budge up and make a little space on this bus - bfp yesterday! Very happy bit also terrified of giving birth again.

Good luck everyone, and thanks for your support xxx

Should not have spoke too soon...started bleeding heavily last night, it's not stopped as to now

thanks dubai and secretsparkle..
Sorry you've had a false positive, that's just ugh...:(What's this about blue dye tests, do they not work as well then? Gosh all these things to learn!
What does DPO mean? xx
