After your day fatas I positively insist on it Grin

RIBS · 26/06/2012 20:39

Oh fatas, that's fab. It's something that would happen 2 me. I went 2 the park with dd last wk and fell off a wobbly log thing like a complete div, right in front of a woman who I can't stand. Typical.

I know what u mean about being down sometimes. I should b having my baby this wk. Instead I'm not even pg. I had a few bad days last wk but I'm not going 2 let it get me down.

Onwards n upwards ladies, swiftly followed by a winkle!

RIBS · 26/06/2012 20:44

I don't think it makes any diff christElle, he'll need 2 have 1 tho hey! I would insist on your dp staying down there til u do tho!

kittykatsforever · 26/06/2012 20:45

Well done christelle for starting dtd so early, seems like you've covered all bases although think once more for good luck Wink
I found out I was pg with dd at the gp for fertility tests so I'm hoping this is a good sign for you, sods law and all that
I too have heard that the big o helps as as you Blush your muscles contract up helping the swimmers on there way, I would think though it would have to be timed at almost the same though and how many of us manage that?!?
I wouldn't worry either way as plenty get pg without it just like the drinks/ healthy eating etc list just another thing that maybe alters the chance by 1%

Christelle2207 · 26/06/2012 20:51

Aw thanks both. Who else is on the 2ww but not symptom spotting yet

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/06/2012 20:52

Christelle good to know 2ww has started and you have dtd loads.

Sorry lots of people are feeling down at the moment. I am in the same boat, is cd15 and have still not dtd yet this month. Just don't feel up for it. Have not oved get but I know I need to get my arse in gear.

fatasbutter · 26/06/2012 20:52

Bloody phone reception on train - just lost mahoosive long post!

Anyway was just saying that RIBS these anniversary type days are sad and very difficult but it WILL be us with a little tiny baby in our clutches soon... Smile

Feeling a bit more positive this 2ww but think is because I have convinced myself I am already pg -note is only cd21- and will therefore be even more crushed than I was last month when I was more pessimistic! BUT despite this I think PMA is the way forward (positive mental attitude I mean!) and you must all join me! (insert Anthony Robbins style speech here) especially as it makes the 2ww less painful and depressing!

fatasbutter · 26/06/2012 20:57

PS whenshewas it's not really your arse getting in gear that will speed up ov u know... Wink

tedmundo · 26/06/2012 21:07

christell .. Me! I am on 2ww, dpo9. Trying not to symptom spot so it must be sheer luck that I can tell you my boobs are a tiny bit tender, I felt sick this morning, very tired and thirsty and hardly any cm of any description. And spotty.

A bit sad too as I have to prepare myself for AF to appear on Sunday or Monday. This is my last chance to be pregnant and be able to announce it before the due date of last pg. RIBS I am so sorry for you hon. I am mentally preparing myself to hit september without a Bfp. I think I need to be prepared to stay sane at that time. You seem so strong. I hope I can be half as optimistic and positive as you!

Christelle2207 · 26/06/2012 21:21

Ooo ted sounds promising to me! However I even got the strange taste in mouth last month- bodies can be cruel to us.

RIBS · 26/06/2012 21:26

Thanks ladies. It does sometimes really get 2 u. But I remind myself it wasn't meant 2b, the baby wasn't strong enough.

Ted. I'm sure ul get ur bfp before Sept, but I totally understand u need 2 prepare yourself in case it hasn't arrived. Tbh I think most of the reason 4 my stress is my age. Big 38 looming and my colleague whos 41 is gonna b a gran. Omg!!!!

Sorry, big hi 2 newbies.

kittykatsforever · 26/06/2012 21:32

Don't worry Whenshewas, your obviously going for the less is more approach and tbh that's what has always worked for me, don't ask me why but both times 1/2 times those months?!?
We can't always manage the sexathons, good luck ted, it does sound promising! It's be the boob thing for me as I've never had any feelings in them except for first pg even then only the slightest thing but they went bigger defo! Blush

photochick · 26/06/2012 21:33

Sunshine thank you for your post. It has cheered me up.
I am new to all this. After 7 looonnnnnng mths of waiting for things to settle after coming off the pill we are on cycle 1. We have not been that scientific about it - only really looking at online ov calculators (have already learnt from reading this that I need to start poas next month!!) and dtd lots Wink.

Now the wait and I had no idea it would be so hard. Obviously would be very lucky to get a bfp first time round but am obsessively looking for any possible signs!
Bit upset about it all last night and my dh suggested I do a test. I had to explain we had to wait. His reply was they didn't on neighbours!

kittykatsforever · 26/06/2012 21:42

Lol at photos dp he he
If only hey. But on that note ted when will you crack? I've got pos vibes for you

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/06/2012 21:44

Grin thanks fatas
I don't feel like ov is due any time soon which is probably a good thing cause I am a sex free zone so far this month. Cm is still creamy not clear yet so don't think ov is due soon.

Hi photo the 2ww is hard work, when is af due? Best of luck.

Hi girls-
Just been catching up on thread after a veeeeeeery long day! But I suppose, it could have been worse- I could have forgotten to look a toilet door for insysnce! Mwah ha ha! Really made me laugh fats

Sorry there's some sadness at the mo. I was just moaning talking to DF about things and saying how I had a midwife app booked tomorrow- that feels shit enough. ribs - these aniversarys are tough- fx for you this month :-)

I'm on cd24- 8 dpo I think- though not entirely sure when / if I OV-ed. is the list still correct? Do we have a lot of testers on July 1st? Not too far away!

I'm down as July 1st and think I'll stick to that. I'm trying not to get hopes up- I had really strong implantation cramping last time and so far nothing- it's such a stressful time!!

If I recall we had some testers lined up for June 30th didn't we? Not too long now!! X

tedmundo · 26/06/2012 22:01

ribs .. The big 38 is looming for me too. Stresses me out too.

Hi photo and likesox .. Here's to Bfp for all!

I have no idea if there is anything to be excited about really, probably just gearing up for AF. I should probably wait until Saturday or even Sunday but I did find 3 Internet cheapies in the bathroom cupboard today so perhaps I could test early!

I really don't think I will though. I should know by Friday night as 2 nights before AF my tummy churns and gurgles. Major giveaway that AF is coming.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/06/2012 22:09

The problem I find is pregnancy symptoms are almost exactly the same as PMS (yet another of natures cruel jokes).

Fx for you.

wunnybunny · 26/06/2012 22:19

was hoping to dtd tonight as I figure it can't hurt to just keep going LOL but dh had to go into work (this never happens!)

iamstitch · 27/06/2012 09:16

Morning! Want to throw up again today. fx but it could be just because I'm tired with too many late nights Blush

Changes to cervix (tmi!) is making me hopeful though! Itching to test bits it's way too soon......surely?!
