New thread..... let's get going!!

I have my fingers crossed, Ratata!

No news here, CD15 and feeling completely pessimistic and unhappy about the whole thing. Thankfully good friends, DH, and some much-needed sunshine have been taking my mind off it today :)

Very frustrating indeed cavemum everything is now a pg symptom lol.

evilgiraffe thanks and yeah always good to take your mind off things when you start to feel down about it xx

Have a look at my profile pics - added one today after seeing four-foot high balloons in tesco that made me think "fuck my life". At the same time, it is quite funny, really - at least I know I'm not imagining baby things being everywhere I go, they really ARE everywhere I go!

Oh evil That is just, well, evil!

I know! And a friend of mine gave birth today too, but I only found that out a minute ago. It's all very good news, obviously, but jealously is a hard thing to live with. Oh well. One day, my friends, it will be us!

I can feel that the evil red tide of doom is edging closer alas (although am 1 day late so up until half an hour ago i was all 'the hiiiiillls are aliiiiive, with the sound of baaaaaaaby', but it's imminent, I can feel it). Confused by pee sticks and my own baffling fertility patterns. Have got MyDaysX smart phone app, but what do people do, pee sticks, temp taking?? Or just having endless bloody sex with own husband?!

Holy balls is what I thought when I saw my pregnancy test this morning... BFP!!!! I really felt pg so I'm glad I was right. I do feel bad though as my stay has been short and I wish it would happen for those who have been waiting longer like you evilgiraffe I hope it happens for you all soon.

Thanks for having me again waves I will be keeping an eye on the thread to keep up with you all xxx

Ratata, mahoosive congratulations!

Pale it all depends how mental you want to go! I'm not really the best person to advise as my PCOS means I have very screwy cycles.

Congratulations Ratata!!!

Hopefully we'll all be following you out soon! Would love ERTD to finish so I can get back to it!

Thanks CaveMum and alwyn I'm over the moon

pale212 I used ovulation sticks for 2 months to figure out my fertile days. Having sex every couple of days can give you a better chance as well. The 2 times I have fallen pregnant were when we weren't really trying (I know that sounds annoying to those who are trying so hard!). I was pretty drunk on the weekend that I believe we conceived this time so I was very relaxed lol.

Ratata, congratulations on your BFP! Lots of people say relax and get drunk but the longer you try, the easier the drunk bit gets and the harder the relax bit :D

Awesome - ERTD has finally done one so I can jump the husband tonight!!

Trying EPO this month as well to see if that has any effect - thought I was a bit light on CM last month so maybe this will do the trick!!

I may be back I had a BFN today and now constant spotting. I think it's a chemical pregnancy. Gutted.

Will keep you all updated though x

I'n so sorry Ratata, keeping everything crossed for you

Fx ratata

Thanks both. Things aren't feeling too good. DH is gutted, he's coming home and making me dinner (normally I'm the cook and he deals with the dishes!). Hope everyone else has a luckier month than me

hello, its been a while, but felt I need to vent some frustration, one of my friends just announced she's PG with her 4th child. Am I terrible for thinking that just seems greedy?

That IS greedy! I'm all about hating pregnant people at the moment though. I'm bitter just now. Did a First Response this morning and it was BFN but I'm still not bleeding. I assume chemical pregnancy still but wish I knew for sure! Went to supermarket yesterday and there were too many pregnant people. Was difficult. You just start wondering, what's wrong with me? Totally don't believe in karma now. Why do nice people like ourselves have so many problems?

God no one should read my post, just having a down day!

Hi Ladies!
Ratata sorry to hear your news. Bigs hugs :( Hope both you and DH are looking after each other xx

Oneday you are completely within your rights to think your friend is greedy. If I ever manage to have one baby let alone two, I dont think I would even ever want 4! Some people are crazy :/

Not much news with me, ERTD is due tomorrow, I've had heartburn all week but I have been eating quite a lot of rubbishy food this week so I'm putting it down to that. However, I have been a bit emotional and tired but I could also put that down to the fact that I am stressed and have had a couple of late nights this week too. I'm trying not to symptom spot but its hard. I know this thread has been going since Christmas but I was really hoping this is the one I might get pg on but I'm hopeful! Not feeling very bouncy at the moment at all! Haven't had any pg announcements recently but I have started telling people that we are hoping to have IVF next year. It saves me having to have 'those' awkward conversations!

just tested. BFN :(

I'm going to go mad, now I've had the lap & dye and heard of many people getting pregnant straight after it's got my hopes up again and I symptom spot and stress about it and I'd really managed to get out of the habit of it. Oh well, another babyless month.

thanks both, I'm glad I'm not alone on this, and the fact they announced as a 'suprise' just makes me a bit green around the gills.. I've always been mega supportive of anyone having a baby, but on this occasion I just can't find the strength to be pleased for them. Also unless you're mega rich what kind of life can you give these kids? My Dad has 4 siblings, 7 of them in a 3 bed semi with no education, my dad never wanted that for us and I certainly don't want that for any kids DH and I have. So maybe its not just being green its that I don't really approve of their decision anyway? Tomorrow we are off to see friends who after 2 failed marriages between them, are finally happy and having their first baby (both are in late 30's) and I've spent weeks making and collecting stuff for them and I'm really pleased for them so I don't think I've entered total green gills yet. It has made me realise how much I want kids though, so some good has come from it :) x

Raspberry so sorry to hear your news :( xx

Hugs for Ratata and Raspberry :(

No news here, other than SWI going strong and my temp chart thinks I ovulated a couple of days ago, on which we did SWI, so as a good a chance as any I feel. This is the first cycle where I've felt like sex is a bit of a chore - not too bad seeing as we've been TTC for two and a half years, but it's still a little depressing.
