I hope nobody else has started a May conception thread; April isn't going to be it for me, so onwards and forwards ladies!

I know what you mean. It's just the time that you don't want to argue but the pressure makes it so easy.
Does your dh like to know when 'the time' is or does he feel under pressure?

coggy · 05/05/2006 22:59

Sorry - got to go....dh is making sleeping sounds and as I am on CD11 I really ought to go!! Grin

peachygirl · 05/05/2006 23:04

Yeah he is aware because I have temped for quite a while and I was so determimed to give it a good go this month I have pushed for a bit more sex (we don't usually have lots- sorry this is turning into peachy tells all) which was all obviously at the wrong time of the month! Dh has groaned reluctantly every time I have begun 'things' whiah obviously has made me feel really wanted and attractive. .. sorry for mini rant

coggy · 06/05/2006 10:37

HURRAH - I have finally managed to get to add a message!!!
I will copy and paste the main bit of what I wrote before - sorry I had to start a new converstaion because I was getting soooo frustrated cos I wanted to leave you a post and couldn't do it. Angry

I know EXACTLY how you feel. The more you initiate the more obvious it is and then they get 'put off' by the pressure and then you feel yucky and then you argue and then you are hardly likely to get pg......can you tell that I've been there??!!
It also always seems that they are keen at the wrong time of the month - or is that just my dh?!!

If you can't rant on here - where can you?
I wish I knew about MN when I was ttc before - I would have had ALOT of venting posts!!

wannaBe1974 · 06/05/2006 10:49

morning all :)

hope you're doing well, peachy sorry to hear that you're feeling a bit unattractive atm tell dh to get his act together, lol.

Well, it was cd48 this morning, and .. af arrived. only 20 days late, lol something of a record for me. In reality this is actually a bit of a relief for me, as because the pg tests were all bfn I had started to worry that there was something more serious wrong with me. But tbh I think this month's experience has drawn a line under ttc for me and it's time for me to cut my losses and accept things the way they are. I can't go through this every month, it would have been one thing if my cycles were painfully regular and I came on every month at around about the same time, and they were just that until approx three months ago, but the past 4 cycles have become longer and longer, to the extent this month where I was 99% sure that I was pg because of how long the cycle was, and have now turned out not to be. There comes a time where one has to accept that things don't always turn out the way we wanted, and although I feel very sad that I won't fall pregnant and have another baby, I know that I have so much to be thankful for. I have a dh who loves me, a beautiful ds, I have been able to experience motherhood and all the joy that that can bring. Now that my ds is growing up I can hopefully continue with my studies and ultimately gain my counselling diploma and will then hopefully be able to use those skills to help others. Who knows maybe I'll even record that album I've been going on about :O.

I wish everyone on here the best of luck with ttc, I've met some lovely people on here and I will of course still be around on mn and will keep a close watchful eye on these threads, because there are still lots of potential bfp's out there.

Take care all and never forget to smile :)

((hugs))) xx

laughalot · 06/05/2006 12:08

Wannabe you set me of crying iv not got many symptoms but I cant stop crying... it was the never forget to smile. Sorry to hear about af and good luck with whatever you decide to do with your career. I hope you will stay in touch you are a fantastic person and im so glad I could chat to you.

laughalot · 06/05/2006 12:10

Hi everyone thanks for the congratultaions for my bfp, iv been at work since iv found out so not been able to chat and say sorry for those who have had a bfn or af has arrived. My tip is bding every other night, track ewcm and do it doggy style Grin it worked a treat and took only 2 months, good luck.

coggy · 06/05/2006 13:42

WannaBe - I can't believe it. I feel really shocked for you...I was so sure.
Sad
You kept implying that you suspected it was a bfn but I think we were all willing it to be a positive so much for you.
(((((hugs)))))

skerriesmum · 06/05/2006 14:30

Wannabe I've been following your story and I'm so sorry...
Hope you've bought a really tasty hat for your doctor to eat! Honestly, she could have done more for you. Do keep in touch and let us know what's wrong, we care about you.

Hi Wannabe Sad - so sorry about your news. You're obviously a brave person, and it sounds like you have a lovely little family already. Smile

We were all so sure you were going to be our next BFP! Our bodies can be very cruel sometimes, can't they?

I hope your DH gets you a big bunch of flowers.

Debbsy · 06/05/2006 18:14

oh Wannabe so so sorry,i felt so positive for you,i think you shoud go back to your Drs and ask for immediete referral to the hospital so as you get your answers,very soon.
Huge hugs and support to you darling (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))).xxx

trace2 · 06/05/2006 18:27

skerriesmum, congrats

skerriesmum · 06/05/2006 18:28

Thanks! Can't stop looking at those two lines Grin

whens you due date?

TuttiFrutti · 06/05/2006 19:03

Wannabe, your post brought tears to my eyes. I'm really sorry.

Congrats Skerriesmum. It's amazing to see how many people originally on this thread have moved to the "Due in January 2007" thread, but also very sad for the bfns. I suppose threads like this are always emotional rollercoasters.

trace2 · 06/05/2006 19:07

oh wannbe so sorry, didnt read the posts befor. i am thinking of you hun ((((hugs)))) i understand you dont want to post on here, but you have my e-mail if you wana chat, so sorry hun

pussycatmomma · 06/05/2006 23:03

wannabe.........I am so sorry about your news honey, have only just caught up on the thread and your post. You must be so bitterly disappointed, I can only echo what the others have said. Please feel free to email me any time [email protected] if you would like a chatter with a "virtual friend" . You are a wise old thing, we all care about you very very much. I just want to say that the snippets of chat we have shared over the last 5months or so have meant alot to me, and I hope that you will not be too much of a stranger now. Am thinking of you and wish you good luck and brightness wherever the road takes you .
((((((((Love and hugs))))))))))) pusscat x x x

flowertot · 07/05/2006 08:36

Maaza - how was Take That? All reports have been fab so sure you had a great time. I'm having same PMT sypmtoms as you, heavy boobs, back ache, feeling yuk but still 10 days before its due. Due to hubby being poorly we didn't manage to bd after CD9 so can't imagine I could be pregnant but just want time to rush on by so can get started again next month. And this time I'm not telling him anything about dates!

pussycatmomma · 07/05/2006 11:13

hi all Smile can someone please tell me if i have missed some news from skerriesmum?? i think i read trace congratulating her, has she had a bfp??? skerriesmum - are you pg??? We seem to have had a run of bfps in last couple of days!
am on cd24.....no af yet but do seem to have all signs of imminent af, so i will just wait and see for now. Am quite hopeful this month, on one hand, but on the other, keep telling myself to keep it real and not be silly - why should this month be any different?! skerriesmum, if you have had a bfp- congrats sweetiepie x x

trace2 · 07/05/2006 11:28

yes pussycat, she got a bfp

trace2 · 07/05/2006 11:31

wannaBe1974 · 07/05/2006 11:59

morning all :)

firstly, skerriesmum many many congrats :) am so so happy for you.

Secondly, thank you everyone so much for kind messages on here, with the bfp's we've had on here I really didn't want to rain on anyone's parade, so it is so lovely to know that so many are so supportive.

I'm actually still very confused, yesterdy morning I had some bleeding and (tmi alert) lots and lots of cm. so assumed that af had arrived. as day progressed, the bleeding stopped but still had very mucousy discharge. This morning everything has stopped. Am still very simptomatic, nausious etc, I'm actually wondering if I could have been pregnant and this is a m/c, as af now seems to have stopped altogether. am going to go to gp on tuesday and demand a scan to check what, if anything is going on inside there.

wish things were simple ey, :O

pussycatmomma · 07/05/2006 12:00

are you still around trace?

Debbsy · 07/05/2006 12:11

oh Wannabe maybe just maybe it could be good news as lots of women have bleeding in pregnancy,i really really hope this is the case for you,and wish you nothing but the very best of luck xxx

Hopecat · 07/05/2006 12:50

Hey Wannabe: I've read that bleeding is very common in the first trimester, and heavy bleeding can signal miscarriage, but only in a third to a half of all cases. Which, actually, are pretty good odds.

Go bully your doctor! Grin
