Thanks! Hoping as we all are that it won't take too long, as it would leave a nice three year gap between my dd and the new baby, perfect really as she'll be in preschool, leaving me with some time to spend with the baby.

We've just finished getting rid of all the baby stuff. Both sides of the family are going to think we're mental having a third. Bit worried about what they'll say actually so I'm not telling any of them we're trying, I'll just tell them after the event and they'll just have to deal with it!

Is anyone else on the thread ttc %233?

That last bit should have said: is anyone else ttc number 3, not sure what happened there!

God I hope nobody is ttc number 233 - that really would be mental! Wink

Ttc #1 for me....

Haha James I think there might be something with the iPhone - have u got one? It happened to me and when I typed the hash symbol for number I ended up with 231 rather than 1!!!!

Headache is on the way out finally!

james we are ttc number 3 too :) Have a girl and a boy and if I told any of the family we are trying they would say 'oh but you have one of each you don't need any more' Um yeah but I want more children!

I'm more self confident these days too, especially with my parenting, so any shit from any of them and they will be told where to go. They give me no practical (or emotional) help anyway so don't have the right to lecture me.

And breeeaaatthe, rant over.

Yes, I do have an iphone! And I definitely don't want 233 children lol

Weechops, I have a boy and a girl too so I know they'll say the same to me, sod em! DC 2 today, can start dtd next weekendish I guess? Started my folic acid today, mother2be vitamins specifically. Anything else I should be doing/taking? I'm a noob at this.

Hey all

Managed to dtd last night.

Hope you're all ok.

Hi ladies-
Just popping in to say hello and that I still have fx for you all. I'm 8+6 today, so far so good, past the 7 week milestone of the mc. No symptoms to speak of- I'm tired and bloated, but that could easily be explained away by the amount I've eaten over the last 6 weeks and back to work blues!!

Good luck again to you all

Blush just re-read- hope that didn't sound a bit 'I'm still pregnant... Byeeeee' I just wanted to pop by to let you know that I'm still thinking of you and wishing you luck x

wishful - of course not - it's your thread, after all. So pleased it's all going well and you're over the m/c "hump". Hope the sickness, nausea and backache stay away for a while!!!

Hi wishful glad everything is going well with your pregnancy.

winkle good work with dtd.

resipsa ooh countdown to the big day.

I am on cd17 and do far no positive opk. Also I feel poorly sick, it is just a cold, should really be dtd tonight but I really don 't feel up for it at all.

I read an article about fertility (was waiting to collect something in Saunsburys and I just skim read it). According to the article the best time to dtd is 48 hours pre ov. Also laughter is good for your fertility.

But sorry you're poorly. Maybe that's why ov delayed?

Ooo you lucky girl resipsa perfect dtd timing.

I think the chem pregs upset the timing for ov. After the first one I oved sooner than I expected, ten later with the second. The egg will come when it feels like it (unless the opks missed it somehow).

Nicely timed DTD, resipsa :-) Fx you get the birthday present you deserve.

And my smiley is AWOL too, When...CD16 here. But I'm in so much pain, I can't see how ovulation isn't happening / about to happen soon. Either my sticks have missed my surge, or I'll get it tomorrow, I hope.

I meant to join back onto this thread when the 3rd one started but you're already 3 pages in before I got here! Missed out on the majority of thread 2 but was here for the first one!

Hope you get a smiley tomorrow nic, like I mentioned before, mine was today on CD17! Tested again this afternoon too as I got loads of sticks and still smiling at me. Yay! FX for you tomorrow!

Is it possible we missed the surge nic? A few days ago I had increased sex drive and cm went clear (but not ew). Sex drive is lower now and cm is cloudy so maybe I missed it.

Oops tmi alert should have been on that post.

NickiNockiNoodle · 01/09/2012 20:47

I don't know, When...my pain is at its worse today after coming on since yesterday, so I suppose it may appear soon. My CM hasn't been playing the game this cycle either.

I imagine it could be possible to miss the surge though. Difficult to know, I think.

I'm jealous of your smiley, Dulcet!

DulcetMoans · 01/09/2012 20:51

Sorry nic, if I get one in the morning I will try sending it your way! You can easily miss it I think, if you get it like an hour after you do the stick it could be gone by the time you do the next one. That can happen whatever time you do the stick, FMU or not. Just keep DTD anyway, always trust your body over the sticks for sure.

That's true...it's all rather hit and miss, TTC, isn't it? :-/

We'll be DTD tomorrow morning, I'd imagine. Wondering if it's best to jump him tonight, though, as it's been 72 hours now! Romance is NOT dead.

DulcetMoans · 01/09/2012 23:12

Yeah, we are much better at doing it when we don't have to! Every other day wouldn't have been as much of a problem if we didn't feel we had to do it that often! Haha.

I am failing miserably at getting DH to DtD this month because he's always tired :( I think this month is just going to have to be a write off, with the move and everything I think it has proven to be too much. I'm sure it doesn't help that I feel And probably DH if he was honest it's a tiny bit pointless trying until my AF decides to make an appearance!
