So sorry Lady be kind to yourself and treat yourself to something nice for tea, a soak in the bath and a good cry. I will keep my FX that next month is your month.

I have had a lovely day off visiting a friend and her DS then took my DS to the pet shop to see the fish and guinipigs. Now I'm back at home and back to noticing every cramp and lack of symptoms! Boo to AF cramps!

Can I join in? Lol. I'm just wishful thinking gonna test next Friday.....5th I think? Not due on till 14thish but started trying on Monday just gone so I WILL get my positive....or go bankrupt trying lol

Haylebop12 · 25/09/2012 14:15

Welcome angie
We are all hoping for some good news on this thread!

pinksky · 25/09/2012 17:57

Ladies, may I join you? Technically testing slightly later than most of you - currently 6dpo with a 27 day cycle, so will probably test first on Sat/Sun.

This is our first month TTC our first baby - have been symptom spotting although have nothing to judge them by! No cramps but more CM than usual at this time. My sense of smell is acute and the smell of some dirty dishes made me retch this morning, but I am getting over a crappy cold so it may just be my nose being restored to working order!

A question - if AF shows will any of you take a break the next few months to avoid a summer baby? It was mentioned by someone at work who is TTC. Many of our friends have struggled to get pregnant or have suffered losses so I don't take this for granted and I'm not sure I want to lose any chances now we've decided to go for it.

Babydust to you all, and also my thoughts to those who have lost pregnancies and babies X

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 25/09/2012 18:30

Welcome Angie and Pink

To answer your question Pink no we wont stop trying if don't get our BFP this month. I am in my 30's and have had 1 MC so as you said I want to have every opportunity to conceive. My friend who is a teacher "planned" to try and have September babies. Both her DC came very early and are June and July so things don't always work out as planned anyway. As it happens they are both doing very well at School / Nursery :)

pink welcome! Bravo for your symptom spotting!! I'm very good at baking EVERYTHING a pg symptom!
I kinda know what you mean about holding out to avoid summer baby! Although my last pg was due 27/12 so timing isn't my best feature!!
I myself am a VERY late August baby and I don't believe that affected me in anyway.
Saying that I HOPE that I am pg this month because I want to avoid it but as this is my 3rd cycle of TTC I don't wanna wait any longer so putting it off for next couple cycles isn't an option!

pinksky · 25/09/2012 18:43

Thank you for the welcome babyjames and Hayle

Thanks for your thoughts on timing - I'm also in my 30s, and just feel it's not worth taking a break. It just hadn't ever occurred to me that people might plan things to that degree and the people in the conversation at work were all very pro.

I'm off to sit in bed with a cuppa for a bit (adds 'tired' to my symptom list Wink ) - I hope you all have a lovely eve.

Haylebop12 · 25/09/2012 18:47

I'm in my mid 20's but dd is 3.8 so time isn't on my side for age gap purposes. In not tired, don't have sore boobs or anything but I've been eating a lot of bagels and PhillyHmm

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 25/09/2012 18:53

Remind me when your BFP due Hayle I have a CB digital in the draw and have been so tempted to use it! may just crack tomorrow!

Haylebop12 · 25/09/2012 19:14

Well last cycle was 31 days which puts it to 30/9, however as "normal cycle" was 28 days before mc in expecting AF from 27/9.
I only have cheapie strip tests but may do one tomoz. I'm not convinced I even ovu'd this cycle! So really have no idea how many DPO I may be! Possibly 9/10 though?
Erugh it's so messed up :-(
I'm doing OPKs next cycle Sad

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 25/09/2012 20:12

Boo hiss to AF cramps :(
I have had cramps and dull ache for a while now. This cycle is all messed up because of MC. Think must be around 40 days now, can't remember without checking. Think I may have ovulated around the 17th which was day 31 as was using opk's. Am thinking it is probably a waste to use the digital but sooo tempting!
Thanks for the list update Monthly

pinksky · 25/09/2012 20:31

Thanks for adding me to the list Monthly. Sorry about the cramps & BFN Sad
Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow

Angie607 · 25/09/2012 20:38

So is it just me that gets majorly confused with the whole ovulation cycle thing? Confused
I only really know that I'm due on the second weekend of the month but after the cerazette I dunno :/

Xx

pinksky · 25/09/2012 20:45

Angie I'm not 100% on it all - I started writing down my cycle dates (1st day AF) a year ago and luckily it's pretty regular. Then I used the mn tools & now countdowntopregnancy. Had sex every other day for a week at the time the countdown site told me (they have an 'intercourse timing calculator!)
