TTC first baby #2

[NicolaHazel]

Due to the luck thread starters have, I thought I'd mark a place for the second thread as we are so chatty!

Here's to BFPs for us all :-)

Day 59 and counting. Thought AF would have shown by now. At least PMT has sod off!

Maclairey am so glad I have a long cycle buddy :o

Vitex has arrived so am going to start it. Don't feel it's likely I'm pg so it can't hurt.
Nicola bet your wedding will cone do quickly now.

I know what you mean Echo it's good to know that someone else is going through it too. I don't blame you for starting the Vitex. I think I am going to give it a few more days and see if anything happens. Let me know how you get on.

On another note, I have just gone totally ballistic at DH for eating the last 3 bars of chocolate in one go and not thinking to ask me if I would have liked one. Maybe AF is on the way after all :)

Spotted in a cheeky afternoon DTD, just in case I'm on a super long cycle with recent / imminent ovulation!

No doubt AF will appear tomorrow now! :-/

Maclairey that could have been me earlier on this week.:o

Am a little more chilled out now.

Nicola I know what you mean! I feel like even though the OV sticks are not showing me anything I still feel I need to try just in case it's a long long cycle!! :)

Pop I'm finally caving in and buying cheap OV sticks on amazon

We've DTD quite regularly through the month, though we generally do anyway, even when we (I!) weren't TTC. From reading the board it seems that quite a few posters on here weren't having as much sex as I was, which I'm surprised at, as I thought we didn't have that much sex!!

We DTD on CDs 5, 6, 9, 12, 14, 15, 17, 20, 23 and 27. I would hope that's enough to catch an egg. Assuming there has been an egg to catch!

Once you've ovulated, how long is the egg viable for? Where is Guru?!

Nicola I think the egg lasts for approx 24hrs! I know the ov sticks say that once you have a LH surge you have a 3 day window to DTD as much as possible.

OK I've decided that I'm not going to buy anymore more OV sticks with lines from Superdrug. I can't be doing with the stress anymore of working out lines. I'm going to buy some CB smiley face OV sticks from Amazon. Just can't decide whether to wait 2 weeks so that I'm not wasting time. Yeah I think I'll wait two weeks.

Maybe in two weeks AF will arrive and I'll start using my CBFM. Or a BFP will arrive....ahh I would so love that! DH birthday is next week-end...keeping everything crossed that I can give him a special b'day surprise :)

Awww...fx for you, Newbie, a birthday BFP would be fantastic for your DH :-)

I'd prefer not to wait for our birthdays (Nov and Dec!) and we have no more occasions til the wedding, so I'd just like ASAP please!

Let's hope we all get BFPs sooner rather than later :-)

Right, I think thats me out for this month ladies. Think AF just caught me up. I hate her. So, onto the next cycle. If I try to count mine is this CD1 now? How does the counting work?

Hi Dulcet

That's a bugger, sorry :-(

Yes, day one of proper AF bleed is CD1.

Morning all. Ok, freaking out a little. Or maybe just confused. Went to bed yesterday thinking AF had caught me and looking towards next cycle but woken up to nothing. No more bleeding, just that bit last night. I've heard some people talk about 'implantation bleeding' but im not sure it can be this as I had a negative test two days earlier?

Other than that I guess it could be stress but I don't feel particularly stressed. Maybe body telling me to stop thinking about TTC! I'll see what happens by the end of the day but i'm usually pretty heavy.

(Sorry if TMI for breakfast time!)

Dulcet Did you get a light bleed (watery) last night or was it heavy and thick?

My mate who is pregnant had a watery pink implantation bleed.

It was light, just thought it was the beginnings of AF. Not thick for sure.

When did you last POAS? Maybe you should do another one today. Those damn things are pretty accurate on the date AF is due.

I had a similar stop and start AF last month with two BFNs - got my hopes up and then they came crashing down.

But will keep my fx for you.

Thanks redstrawberry. You're right, it's the best way to know. I will try in the morning, see if anything has changed. If not, assume it's just AF mucking about with me. She's a spiteful cow!

Fx Dulcet :-)

Dulcet sounds like you're in limbo land :( Good news is your body is doing something! I guess you can be thankful that something is going on whether it's AF or a possible BPF. I will keep my TX for you.

I have slight backache and AF twinges going on...however I now believe that this is my mind playing tricks on me and I'm actually experiencing nothing...need to get stuck into work and distract myself today!

Just hate Mondays in work - so hard to concentrate.
I have sore boobs and some cramps. Felt a bit nauseous yesterday, but nothing else. Sounds very much like last months pre-AF symptoms :(

Getting mentally ready to join the July thread.

Dulcet from that information I wouldn't say you're out for this month. What CD are you on? It could well be implantation bleeding. Definitely POAS tomorrow and let us know how you get on. Fx for you.

good luck to everyone - I have to wait until November to start TTC #2 - its ages away!!!

Hi medusa! Not sure on the cycle day as I haven't been counting and we've only just started TTC. I would be due this week, I know that. Trying not to read too much into it all at the moment symptom spot but I am a bit confused as to what is going on. I will POAS tomorrow morning and let you all know!

dulcet that would be brilliant if you get bfp! Fx for you! You have to let us know first think in the morning! so excited for you!
I'm going to get my bfp on Saturday, earliest!

Thanks popinda! I am not convinced tomorrow is the day. Am suffering from reading too much on google. I have managed to convince myself it was and it wasn't in the space of 5 mins. Having this much information at your fingertips is a dangerous tool for people TTC!

Fingers crossed for you on Saturday. Can you hold out until then though...? Will you have a cheeky POAS Friday??!
