Hi ladies, oh I've missed so much today!!

Massive congrats to country - so pleased for you!! I think that this will be the start of a run of BFPs!

Sorry about the BFN everything - has af still not arrived though??

Yes lets definitely keep this thread going - I like familiarity too! Smile

KickingUpQuestions · 18/05/2012 22:35

how you doing queen?

i think i have nearly managed to be positive and worked out how to relax a bit. i think

QueenOfTheRodeo · 18/05/2012 22:47

Thats good kicking what have you been doing? I've been on a lovely day out with my mum today shopping (for 'housey' type things which I love doing) and for lunch, it definitely took my mind off things and helped me to relax a bit too. I did pause slightly near to the baby furniture section though! But mum doesn't know we're ttc so tried not to be too obvious - does your family know you're trying? I just don't want the added pressure to be honest, but I know my family will be over the moon when we tell them. Can't wait for af to leave me so we can try again this month!

redstrawberry · 18/05/2012 23:18

I'd be lost without this thread - so count me in too

JoyfulJoyful · 19/05/2012 00:01

Hello ladies

Congratulations to you Country

Sorry about your BFN everything

I have decided to take things easy on this TTC journey. I realised it's taken over my whole life and stirring up all sorts of emotions in me which, frankly I am not willing to tolerate.

I will leave it all to God because there really isn't anything I can do that I haven't done (I am religious and do believe in God and believe he answers prayers). I will still lurk but may not post as much, not that I used to but I do enjoy reading your posts and will continue to but I'm no longer checking to see when I ovulate, will have sex with my DH because I love him and not just because of what I need to get from him and won't even check what day AF is due. I am emotionally exhauseted from it all.

I pray June ushers in loads of BFPs and that you are all partakers of it. May Joy be yours.

everythinghappensforareason · 19/05/2012 10:08

Hi Ladies, aw im so glad this thread has been good for u guys too glad u will be sticking around:o

I'm going too be taking the same approach joyful this month has been awful, spent a small fortune on opk's and pg testing, and for what?
Your right, when its going to happen it will, regular sex (because we want to) and see how it goes. it just takes over ur life. wishing everyone luck for june :o

I ovulate now at the end of this month so could still be my month :) but wont be testing untill mid June, will be waiting untill AF is missed now :)

everythinghappensforareason · 19/05/2012 10:21

Forgot to say AF got me this morning, just spotting atm. having a lazy day because inoo it will come flowing in later..

so CD1 for me :) heres too a new month and more SWI :o

OP posts:
QueenOfTheRodeo · 19/05/2012 11:55

Oh I'm sorry that af finally got you everything I had thought that this was definitely your month too. I'm also ovulating at the end of the month and testing mid-June as are some others so we can all do this together!

joyful sorry that you're feeling a bit down. Its mad how ttc completely takes over your life and becomes all you think about. I'm going to follow your approach this month too, going to ditch the OPKs (not sure how must I trust them anyway) and just have regular sex with DH and see what happens Smile Yes definitely stick around joyful and join in whenever you feel up to it - I look forward to you announcing your BFP in the very near future Smile

KickingUpQuestions · 19/05/2012 12:17

I am inwith the rest of you. Lets make this the non obsessing no symptom spotting thread.

DH and I dtd because we want to but we are going to just up it to eod. and not stress.

joyful - you can always comment. i think its better to have a group of people who can understand each other. the bad comes when the group feed each other the obsession and life pales in comparison.

i would like it if you guys could remind me that there are no symptoms. and that my body is trying its best every month to give me a baby and it will happen when it happens. i think i need that more than false hopes...

KickingUpQuestions · 19/05/2012 12:19

sorry about AF everything. at least we are all kind of in the same boat at the same time.

still sucks though :(

hugs

everythinghappensforareason · 19/05/2012 12:23

Thanks guys :) im actually ok, and AF was spot on time, so regular cycles are back :o

Yes this is deffinatly a relax, none obsessive thread:o

see how long that lasts when where on 2ww againBlush he he

KickingUpQuestions · 19/05/2012 12:25

my brother is coming down for tonight and bringing my one month old niece.

my family know we are ttc. i get a lot of "relax and it will happen". mainly from people with babies or kids or one on the way.

overwhelming feedback though is relax and have lots of sex.

i find my husband very sexy so we dtd a bit. in fact we are going to try eod isn't of every day in case we are killing his swimmers :D

QueenOfTheRodeo · 19/05/2012 12:32

You're right kicking about there being no symptoms... if we had pregnancy symptoms then we would get BFPs! I promise that this month I won't test until right before af and if I get BFNs I won't torture myself with 'but what if the test is wrong' etc.

Enjoy seeing your niece! Lots of friends of mine have young babies and it sends my broodiness through the roof!

everythinghappensforareason · 19/05/2012 13:30

Im not to bad with the babies, its pregnant women, the big bumps. i miss mine sooo bad!

They are right though kicking - it will happen :) I concieved my son when i least expected. and at that time never bothered with opk's n all that. and didn't bother testing untill the evening on the day AF was due :)

Going to try this for june, maybe june is my time, that is when DS was concieved. (convincing myself i will again)

PickledFanjoCat · 19/05/2012 14:00

Im with you ladies on the next 2ww we must make a pact not to be mentalists!

My personal vow is to stop googling!

redstrawberry · 19/05/2012 14:09

Gutted for you everythingSad
I have stopped checking symptoms n def going to follow it through this time on the 2ww. A very relaxed approach next month if it doesn't work this month.

I actually dont feel too upset if it was bfn. Hearing your stories and seeing as its my first cycle if I did get a bfn it will just mean I can drink wine next month. Looking at the positives Grin

KickingUpQuestions · 19/05/2012 15:55

agree. Google is not allowed.

and we err on the side of not pregnant until AF doesn't arrive

job done

QueenOfTheRodeo · 19/05/2012 18:42

Agreed ladies! Looking forward to a chilled month ahead Smile

What is everyone up to this weekend?

everythinghappensforareason · 19/05/2012 19:51

Tryin to keep it under control and told hubby to keep me away from the sticks! This week is going to be hard. Getting AF like feeling!
How you feelingeverything? X

KickingUpQuestions · 20/05/2012 17:11

had good time with the family and niece. love dh with the baby. dtd as soon as the family left.

cd 5 and doing eod with preseed and that's the plan this month

everythinghappensforareason · 20/05/2012 20:31

Sounds like a great start to the month kicking :o

Im feeling okay red, of too see the gp tomorrow for some test results, i think im just being a little bit of a hypacondriact but convinced myself i have endrimiosis so having that ruled out :) i hope!!!!!

stay strong, and honestly wait aslong as possible before poas, good luck :o

QueenOfTheRodeo · 20/05/2012 22:47

Hi ladies, haven't managed to get on here all day - been making the most of the nice weather by doing some gardening! Hate it!

Good luck at the doctors tomorrow everything - I'm sure everything will be fine Smile

kicking I love seeing my DH with babies too, absolutely can't wait to see him with our own.

red try to give it a few more days at least before you test so you're not disappointed. Its so hard though isn't it?

CD7 today here, af has finally left me - I've told DH to feel free to wake me up in the morning before he leaves if he feels like it Wink

redstrawberry · 21/05/2012 08:24

yes going to give it till Monday before I pee on a stick. AF due Fri / Sat.
I think I am going insane though. Feeling really hopeful every time I get a cramp or twinge and then reassuring myself that it will be okay to ttc again next month if its bfn. I never realized how hard this would be.

Still no symptoms that stand out from pre-AF ones. Just going to plod along with work this week till the evil witch arrives.
