TTC first child, anybody else in the same boat? Thread 2

[Bunnygirlie]

The old thread was getting chocca so lets start again lovely ladies -

Bunnygirlie - 32, married, TTC since June, AF due 5th Oct

[Pipbin]

Onwards and upwards elderberry pavlovas!

I'm not sure what is going to happen to me this month, my normal cycle is about 33 days, but this last one was 26 days!
Janey sorry to hear about AF.

[HazleNutt]

Oh sorry about the AF.
Nothing here yet and for some reason I don't think anything happened this month. Sigh.
We're renovating the kitchen and I find it incredibly stressful, so will just blame any non-happenings on that. It's dusty, we're cooking in the basement, can't find anything as everything is packed away somewhere. Oh and doing the stairs tomorrow and Friday probably, so wont have access to upstairs for a couple of days. The fun. A few more weeks to go until it's totally ready, can't wait.

[ZombiesAreClammyDodgers]

Anyone taking any prenatal vitamins?

[HazleNutt]

yes, I'm taking those ones at the moment:
www.amazon.com/Natures-Bounty-Multi-Prenatal-Softgels/dp/B003UAA78W/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1349250625&sr=8-33&keywords=prenatal%20vitamins&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

And also have a pack of those waiting
www.amazon.fr/GESTARELLE-IPRAD-Gestarelle-g3/dp/B008X7KHOQ/ref=sr_1_10?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1349250690&sr=1-10

I've heard that a lot of people have had issues with the Pregnacare ones, so read the reviews before you buy those.

[ZombiesAreClammyDodgers]

Thanks hazle. Thinking of getting Sanatogen Pronatal. .

[bingeddybongo]

I'm taking Folio Forte - I took it for a good six months last year when we had talked about starting ttc and then I came off it when we decided to wait... so I hurriedly started again the day after we unplannedly started ttc!

I POAS this morning (at bloody half past six because I woke up desperate for a wee) and got a BFN. I'm still at least 4 days off AF's arrival though so will try to be patient and save my crushing disappointment for the weekend!!

[Lolcbcblemonlime]

I took pregnacare for one month and didn't like it. I just finished a bottle of the wilkinson pg ones and really liked it.
I now have centrum pregnancy to start tomorrow.

[HazleNutt]

So, Elderberries, any POASing today?

[janey1234]

No, am mid-AF, but hell, I became so obsessed with POASing earlier in the week I might start just doing it on a daily basis
Good luck to anyone testing soon!

[bingeddybongo]

I just POA Clear Blue Digital which very smugly informed me I wasn't pregnant. Grrr. I think AF is due tomorrow or possibly later, since my cycles have been getting longer and longer, so I'm not giving up hope, especially since I have had almost all the same symptoms as ella! I've also had lots of twinges over the last 24 hours. For god's sake, my bloody nipples have changed colour! I suppose that just means if AF turns up I'll have to go see the doctor anyway ;)

[happylass]

All gone a bit quiet on here. How's everyone doing? I got a positive on the OPK yesterday so I'll be testing on the 19th too Rache1S or maybe a few days before

[HazleNutt]

nothing to report here, my persona monitor has been all red this month, still red on day 23, but has now showed the OV symbol, so I have no idea if and when I've ovulated and when AF is due.
Ordered some cheapo tests from amazon so will be testing in a week or so. or maybe a bit earlier

[Pipbin]

It's very quiet isn't it.
DH is in a fit of depression right now and so DTD EOD has gone out of the window rather. Still, I'm only on CD6 so I'm not worried.

[Lilyjosh]

Morning all, just catching up on all the posts seems really quiet this last few days.

Does anyone using cbfm know if you forget to test first thing and have to test at your next wee does it effect the tests? 6 high days and no peak and I missed fmu on the day I though would be my peak. All the lines on the sticks seem really faint. Maybe just no ov this month :(

[ella0]

Fingers crossed for you bing (and everyone else). It's not over until af arrives. I got my BFP on the day af was due.

[bingeddybongo]

Thanks ella :) I just wish I knew when I was due! ;) How are you feeling?

[Bunnygirlie]

hey ladies, back off my holibobs too :-( Missed you all!

Quod - arse arse arse indeed! I had sore chesticles and then AF turned up early! pants! I had dreamed of returning from holiday to POAS not heading out in spain to buy doofers :-(

So I have bitten the bullet and bought some concieve plus - hope that my problem has been the lube and this will solve things (what a dreamer). It also came with some basic ov tests - not sure when to test though as no idea when ovulating :-S

[ella0]

Sorry af showed up bunny. Cp seems to work for a lot of people, so fingers crossed it makes a difference for you.

bing pregnancy-wise I'm feeling pretty good thanks, just a bit tired (which reminds me of another symptom I had around a week after ov - I woke up after what I thought was a good nights sleep, feeling exhausted). However, I've had a bad cold and sore throat since Thurs so I'm not feeling my best due to that.

[HazleNutt]

Just got a birthday card from SIL congratulating me on my 33rd birthday. I'm 34. But apparently look loads younger then
Only have a few months though to get the BFP until I would be over 35 when giving birth and officially an Elderberry. One of those eeeevil women who delayed children to concentrate on their career. Tsk.

[bingeddybongo]

Oh well I'm thrilled to hear I'm still 17 months off being an Elderberry myself! Happy birthday Hazlenutt, and congratulations on your youthful looks

Sorry to hear you've got a cold, ella, that's rubbish timing! And sorry about AF, Bunny, that's really crap timing as well.

It's got so quiet around here that I'm not sure who I'm meant to still be crossing my fingers for, but they're still very firmly crossed for everybody who needs them!

[Rache1S]

happylass I'm so pleased to have someone join me in the 2ww! I was randomly sick yesterday afternoon which is obviously a really really mega early pregnancy sign and nothing whatsoever to do with Friday night's excessive booze
I think this week will be fine because it's unlikely that a BFP would show up but as soon as the weekend arrives I am going to have to show some massive self restraint not to POAS, especially as my Sis (who is currently 14 weeks pregnant) got her first (very feint) BFP at 8 DPO.

[Lolcbcblemonlime]

So is there any upcoming poas action over next few days???? I'm not even at ov yet. Booooooring!

[janey1234]

I'm with you Lol - AF only just finishing so aaages until ov and the 2ww seems like an eternity away...
Welcome back and fingers crossed for those waiting to POAS - perhaps we need to bring the list back, I can't remember where we are!

[ZombiesAreClammyDodgers]

I'm with you janey - AF should hopefully be completely done by tomorrow. Started up the cbfm today- cd 6 tomorrow, and starting vitamins from tomorrow- had only been having frolic acid till now.
The phone corrected folic acid to frolic acid but I think that describe it better so won't correct :)
