Have a breastfed baby or toddler? Why not try for another one?! Who needs sleep anyway?

Come join us whether you are waiting for your first period in months or are are a few months into trying.

MrsH nope! Only on 4th cycle now. BFN this morning again but still (hopefully...) too early.

LolaDontCryOverSpiltBleach · 22/10/2012 13:21

Yay, that sounds like good news jenni , big boobs are a good sign.

I have been up all night long (not for good reasons) i have a very poorly little boy and am feeling crap myself, he was sick 7 times last night, and so far today 6 times and DP isn't home until 11pm !
All he wants is boob but it will keep making him worse so today i have big boobs too.

I am knackered and spending my day throwing up, and then cleaning up thrown up stuff and then washing thrown up on stuff and then cuddling a sad and tired boy.

Fun Fun Fun

jennimoo · 22/10/2012 21:10

lola sounds so terrible, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Thinkingof4 · 23/10/2012 18:56

Aw Lola hope you are over the worst now, it's really no fun.

jennimoo sounds promising! I'm getting slightly excited too as for last 2 nights when I tried to sleep on my front my belly felt a bit swollen. No change in my boobs though! Going to try to wait till weekend as AF due any time from tomorrow (if 28 day cycle ) till Sunday!!

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 23/10/2012 21:58

lola my DD was up last night too. But she only had a temperature and was coughing. No sick so at least it wasn't messy. But both DH and I are too knackered tonight to dtd Sad. He actually said to me do we have to do it every night! I'm on cd13 and he's going away for work tomorrow. So it looks like another cycle written off.

Hope everyone has better luck and timings!

LolaDontCryOverSpiltBleach · 23/10/2012 23:49

Well there has been no sick since around 1, and he has managed to eat his first bite since Sunday night a slice of pizza Blush
But hey better that's than nothing! and now is fast asleep in my bed stretched out which is better than super glued to my chest.

We managed to find time last night, have no idea how i didn't throw up!

But i am still thinking this month is a definite no no, due on the 27-28th so now we are just doing it for fun.
one That's a shame, hopefully you get a nice surprise!
thinking that sounds pretty encouraging, Do you usually feel yourself coming on?, if i was due tomorrow and could feel nothing yet i would be pissing my pants with excitement! Grin

jennimoo · 24/10/2012 14:28

lola there's nothing wrong with poorly ones having whatever they fancy IMHO! Glad the sickness seems to be subsiding.

More BFNs here but only on 12 or 13 dpo. Got BFP at 12 dpo with DD. however still have massive and slightly tender/itchy boobs, so do feel pg!

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 24/10/2012 18:00

lola I spoke too soon. DD was sick today Sad. Think on the bright side, at least you can still dtd Grin.

jenni there is still hope!

Thinkingof4 · 24/10/2012 18:30

Lola glad the wee one is on the mend
onelittle hope the bug doesn't last too long
jennimoo !!! Sounds good, keeping fx for you

As for me, well I seem to be needing a wee more than normal and my tummy def feels bloated. Still no boob chamges but does seem promising. I just don't know how long this cycle is, this is cd28 but up to 32 can be normal for me, so I'm holding off testing for a bit longer

LolaDontCryOverSpiltBleach · 24/10/2012 19:02

Hi all, Af has officially arrived, and i am so peeved!

But hey at least we are all feeling better, have cleaned up dinner and am sulking while DS plays with his trains like an angel.
So 6 months for me now, i know my body can do this, the reason we started trying was because we moved in May and after a few days i started having pains went to the doctor and was pregnant and having a MC, that's what made us try we were not expecting it but when it did happen we both realized we really wanted another.

Feel like shit, and period coming early is annoying!, was planning on taking DS swimming as we are both more energetic but i can't stand it on my period.

Good luck thinking

jennimoo · 24/10/2012 19:10

Sorry lola :(

Jakeyblueblue · 25/10/2012 14:20

Hi all,
Sorry to hear that there have been no bfp's this month so far Sad and also the sick bug has gotten most people Sad
My family are only just really 100 % over it, the in laws managed to catch it too and after ds had still got the runs 7 days after the symptoms started, we had to send samples Sad. Results back today and all clear but has been a really horrible experience for all of us! Don't think I've ever felt so ill in all my life!
Cd21 here but no chance of being Preg. Was too ill and missed ov day. Didn't do an opk but have only had one lot of ewcm around day 14. Looks like it would have been the ideal cycle. Sad
Sad faces all round today I'm afraid Sad

Thinkingof4 · 25/10/2012 15:40

Maybe we'll all be immune next time round
Sorry about AF Lola but I hope you've all stopped puking at least
jakey is it possible your ov has been delayed due to being unwell? Maybe worth still dtd anyway (do it for fun!!)
No news here, sitting on my hands to stop doing a test!!

jennimoo · 25/10/2012 21:44

Glad people are getting better, although would like to hear of some BFPs as feeling really rubbish today. Keep getting weepy (good sign?) but midday got cramps for a couple of hours. I thought it was AF but no sign yet. Had resigned myself to being out, them googled it and perhaps I still have a chance. I'm thinking I won't test tomorrow, but bet I do in the end!

BigWhoop · 26/10/2012 16:41

Ooo ladies - 2 periods in, 1 week since sex, have heartburn, slight cramps, and nausea.... wish me luck!!

BigWhoop · 26/10/2012 17:12

Oh - not quite sure when to take pregnancy test as periods still all over the place - going to wait until next Saturday I think. So... 1 week wait!

Thinkingof4 · 26/10/2012 19:48

Well I've started spotting so I expect AF will arrive properly tomorrow Sad Its funny how your body can trick you into thinking you are pregnant. Aw well, back to the drawing board

jennimoo still holding off testing again? Good luck for tomorrow

bigwoop hope your 1ww passes quickly!!

jennimoo · 26/10/2012 20:49

Don't be silly, Thinkingof4, of course I tested... Another BFN and a few cramps this morning, then no sign of AF. I normally only get cramps hours before, not days, so very confused.

TMI alert: also quite a bit of CM, slightly EW but more creamy.

Feeling very in limbo as AF would be due today or tomorrow I think, and getting so many conflicting signs. I think the negative tests are probably a big clue, but would really like to know what's going on.

It's especially annoying as Mum (who's constantly going on about when I'm having another one :( ) is staying at the weekend and I will have to hide whether I'm happy / sad. But on the other hand DH and I get a date night :)

BigWhoop · 27/10/2012 09:56

I'm starting to think this could just be a sickness bug Sad

jennimoo · 27/10/2012 09:57

AF has arrived for me too. At least I can get a good cry out of the way before my mum arrives...

Can't understand why my boobs grew so massive if I wasn't pg, it wasn't a full milk feeling, just really big.

I guess I can't have been pg though as would probably would have got a faint BFP.

Oh well, a check of the calendar tells me O will be my birthday!

jennimoo · 27/10/2012 09:59

Sorry bigwhoop I missed your post! Good luck, we need some BFPs on here so keeping fingers crossed for you.

Thinkingof4 · 27/10/2012 10:49

Well I can offer up a BFP today but sadly I think this little bean won't be sticking for long. Sad
I had a little fresh red bleeding and really sore cramps on Thursday night, then a little dark red then horrible dark brown stuff on Friday. Then nothing so I did a test this morning and got a BFP. It changed really quickly too, and I do feel very slightly sick but also a little crampy. I've never had an bleeding in pregnancy before so this is very unusual for me. Don't really know what to think Sad

Sorry about your AF jennimoo

BigBoPeep · 27/10/2012 16:54

hi huxtable - you sound like me Grin i too have a tight schedule although as my work dried up so i havent actually 'been back', i guess my 'schedule' has gone out the window and i'm a free, but desperately poor, woman!

dh seems only to need to look at me too long and i'm pregnant - this is what im relying on!

no period here, havent dtd or poas for a while - felt very inexplicably tearful and generally a bit hormonal and glum but maybe thats just period coming back? she's almost 7mo now so could be...

jennimoo · 28/10/2012 08:13

thinkingof4 hope all is well and it's a sticky one, that sounds really confusing. Keeping fx for you.

I'm over AF arriving and planning for next month: me time and relaxing! Had date night with DH last night which was fab (especially with a glass of wine!). DH told me he 'had a word' with my mum too and told her to stop dropping hints about babies, which is a real relief and must have been hard to say!

Thinkingof4 · 28/10/2012 10:07

Well test still positive this morning (2nd line showed up in 20s - I know sad but I timed it Blush
I decided to crack open the clear blue too and it said 2-3 weeks pregnant (from conception) which would be right so I'm feeling a bit more hopeful. No more bleeding and still got symptoms - slight nausea in morning and needing to pee more often (peeing lots is always first sign for me)
So fingers remained crossed in the thinking house
