End Sept/Beg Oct Space Shuttle - the first 2012 conceptions!!

[ahhhhhpushit]

NOW BOARDING!

I'm due AF 11/1/12 so out of time for the previous bus so thought I'd start a new one! Well a space shuttle (why not!!!).

So I'll start:

ahhhhhpushit TTC#2 AF due 11/1

I'm currently on cd 15 so have been SWI like mad this week :)

Feck me (actually, no, I'm not ovulating), 13 months!! Feel sick...

We'll have a 3 year and 2 months gap if I get pregnant this month. I probably would have gone for the 2 year gap too, but the timing wasn't right and now I'm glad. Having said that, we quite fancy having 3 (!!!) and I'm no spring donkey so if I may have to conceive the third pronto - she says not probably even pregnant with the second

PS: DS is lovely most of the time - I can hear him sing twinkle star in his bed, the little rascal. Awww!

Updating list as AF arrived today, so am assuming it'll go back to roughly 28 days cycle so I'll be joining the next shuttle that comes along.

frazzled - with dc#1 i got BFP on the day AF due, with an internet cheapie.
I'm a big fan of buying things online for the cheapest price I can get them.
It never occurred to me it was possible to test any earlier anyway!

If I get pg straight away we would only have a 19-month age gap!

Not feeling terribly well tonight but will try and summon the strength to SWI later...

Don't forget MakeTeaNotWar got her BFP today too :)

And unlucky RunningKatie, there's always next month...

And agree Delphine don't even think I would let DH come anywhere near me at 4 months post baby let alone... well come somewhere IYKWIM!!! :o

Having said that, didn't feel ready/want another until fairly recently & now even seeing a new mum with a baby for literally seconds (flicking thru & caught OBEM) made me cry (which is SO not me!!) and I'd always thought 4yr gap would be ideal!! Madness

I'm out.
Feeling very very low about it all today.

Oh Pipbin, don't be sad! It'll come.

What's up in your life? How old are you?

Poor you Pipbin that sucks :( Never say never though, February is the 'month of lurve'

Thanks Del and Chunky
I'm 36 until April and TTC number 1. Everyone else around me seems to be getting pregnant after either not trying or trying for about 2 months.
And it seems that AF is going to get me properly tomorrow which is only 10dpo.

Also we had Mr Bin tested a month ago and the doctors phoned and told us we need to do it agin but haven't to us why.

I'm just fed up with it all, I've been waiting to ttc for 10 years and I just want it to happen.

Ok, well, you need to ask the doc why Mr Pipbin has to do it again if only to reassure yourself. You're probably both fretting about it when they may just have lost it or something - two of my smear tests got lost/broken and they kept asking me to do it again.

Your luteal phase seems a bit short but are you sure it's right? Are you using ovulation kits? You may be a bit out with your dates which would explain why it's not happening.

You're still young, there's no reason why it's not going to work! The sad truth is that we're not all equal and for some people it takes longer, but the problem is the longer it takes the more you fret and the more you fret the less likely you are to conceive. A nurse once told me that the best contraception she knew was stress. I know it's not easy but try to forget about baby for a bit and concentrate on you and Mr Pipbin, do something nice together and also for yourself. A healthy pregnancy starts with a healthy you I think.

Take care x

Thanks Del
I'm using opks, but I'm going to start temping for this next cycle as I've found OPKs to be a bit tricky.

Mr Bin is booked back in for another test in a few weeks, thankfully before my fertile week.

Also AF hasn't got me properly yet. Just spotting at the moment really.

MakeTeaNotWar congratulations on the BFP.

RunningKatie and Pipbin sorry Af got you.

On the age gap subject I have 2 years between dd and ds1 and 2 years 6 months between ds1 and ds2. If I got caught this month I would have a 6 year gap between ds2 and the new baby. I sometimes wonder if we have left it to long now.

Hey all, Congrats to MakeTeaNotWar - how exciting on way to NZ...
Sorry about AF to others.

Can I ask a question - I've been on the pill for a long time and came off nearly 6 months ago and have had 40+day cycles since - no PMT symptoms, no EWCM, nada. And it is so long since I had normal periods I can't remember what is normal. I'm now CD30 and for the last 2-3days have had lower abdominal discomfort and bloating with occ lower back pain, which somewhere in the recesses of my brain I think is PMT like symptoms - is that right?

I'm not going to test until after 40 days unless AF gets me (therein lies madness), but am finding the prospect of a slightly shorter cycle exciting as it might be the start of normalisation post stopping pill. What do you guys think?
I think I'd just be so relieved to have some kind of hormonally related symptoms that indicate my ovaries aren't still hibernating that I'd be grateful to see AF (which is just wrong, I should be hoping for BFP, but suspect that is just far too optimistic!)

For those who have already got their BFPs, you (and hopefully the rest of us too) will have your babies in the Year of the Dragon. I saw this article on the BBC website today about how lucky it is to have a Dragon in the family :)

mrsmellow i have no helpful information sadly but you're not alone; i'm in exactly the same boat just a bit further on in days, no sure signs except things that make me go then nothing again. had what might have been pmt symptoms this time last week cd49/50/51 then nothing.

i have gone down the maddening route of testing though - once a weekish after the 35ish day mark - just to be sure i can carry on drinking from time to time. bought a pack of 50 interent cheapies back in september for about £7.50, thought i'd never get through them but i could at least test at will, but now i wonder if i might some day have to buy more???

cd58 today, starting to seriously consider paying a visit to the dr to ask WTF

I gave in this morning and POAS! I got a faint line but I'm not convinced so will test again tmrw or Sunday (or both)!

Good luck Winnie81 - sounds promising. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Thanks Prunella79

I just had a look back and we really are in the same boat. It is intensely annoying isn't it?! I hope we get resolution soon.... There was somebody with a similarly long cycle in about Oct/Nov that got a bfp eventually so fingers crossed! I kind of knew that the pill stuffed things up, but I really thought it would take less time than this to sort itself out...
Must invest in some more pregnancy tests myself soon - hope you don't need a second packet I guess weekly testing is sensible - I'll start at 40 days again....If you do see a Dr., tell us what they say!

fingers crossed Winnie81

MTNW congrats! What a memorable way of getting your bfp

chicken thanks for the welcome. Totally know what you mean about wanting gap between kids to be neat. There are 2.5 years between ds and dd.

Just realised that if I were to get bfp this or next month, there would be 5 years between dd and dc3. I love the neatness of that!

Winnie a line is a line!!!!!!!

Coming back to symptom spotting, I have some more for the list:

My friend dreamt i was pregnant
Another friend said to me that she 'could see me having another baby'
My uterus area felt tender when I sneezed the other day.

Other than that I have tender boobs (because I keep poking them violently to check if they are tender).

I am not testing unless I af doesn't arrive by Tuesday. Not expecting to be that gutted if af does arrive but it's only cycle no1.

I've never used cheapy tests. Didn't know about them!

Has anyone watched call the midwife? Was so heartwarming.

Winnie - what aaahpushit said

Thanks all x I showed to dh who has had a permanent grin since I told him and he was saying the same a line is a line! Lol

Hello all!

This is my first time posting on mumsnet so bear with me please, trying to get the hang of this and all the acronyms! Hopefully I can join the shuttle this month?

Congrats to all who have had BFPs this month! :o

So background info is we already have a DD who is 2yrs 4 months. We are TTC #2 and AF was due yesterday (19/01/2012)...so far no AF and two pregnancy tests have both been BFNs. I'm just hoping it's due to the fact that there is not enough hcg to detect just yet, or I'm late

Currently debating whether to do another test tomorrow morning or to hold out until Sunday...

Winnie you will be able to officially start the October 2012 pregnancy thread!

Another symptom,

I want cake NOW.

Welcome blue good luck with the test. Are you usually regular?
