winkle!!!!!!! That is sooo spooky. I had a dream I was a mum and holding my very cute gorgeous baby and then woke up to reality :( you are def my twin.

Your month looks good though - hsg, ewcm and OV pain! Seems like things are lining up for tht bfp so long deserved.

Just realised its Mother's Day tomorrow and in not a mum yet Confused this time last year I was planning to spend my first mother day with a baby.

When will it be our turn!?! This month is going to be our last chance for a 2013 baby :( would be great to have a little one by Christmas.

How cruel does this have to get before I get my bfp!

Yep red this is my second Mother's Day without a baby! It is cruel, that's a good word for it.

Alexandra6 · 09/03/2013 16:11

My second without a baby. My mum had had over 10 mother's days with children by the time she was my age! Sad

Alexandra6 · 09/03/2013 16:12

Ps it does look good for you winkle!

twinklestar2 · 09/03/2013 18:23

Thx Alex. This would be so the right month for me to get pregnant. Aside from the things above that I listed (weird dreams, ov pain, etc) I've also given up all hope and relaxed about it, I've just passed my 12 week review at my new job so I'm now a perm member of staff and my husband drastically cut back drinking 3 months ago / beginning of year and they say it takes 3 months for new sperm to be produced. Fingers crossed hey!!!!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 09/03/2013 18:31

twinkle red & alex sorry about the impending Mother's Day stuff. If it makes you feel any better Mother's Day is actually quite rubbish with a small child.

They have no clue what is going on so you just get a card and chocs from your dh and then you have to spend time with you own mum too (and your dh's). I find the whole thing a pain in the ass.

Really hope you guys get some BFPs soon. You all really deserve it.

I hope it's a sign winkle. I had a few of those dreams too, it always a disappointment after I wake up and realise I'm not pregnant and its a Monday morning.
Hugs to those finding Mother's Day difficult. Hopefully this time next year you will all get a card. Smile
I'm still waiting for AF. This is stupid now. Feels like its about to start any minute but never does. One thing for sure is that I got ovulation completely wrong this cycle. I hate the expense of OPK's but might go for it. Oh, I got DP to fetch some soy thingies for me to try out too.

twinklestar2 · 09/03/2013 20:27

OMG thingy not pregnant AND Monday morning! Worst thing ever!!

DulcetMoans · 09/03/2013 23:16

Hi all! I was around for a few months last year but had to put TTC on hold for a bit. Currently have AF but then we are back on board with trying from next week. I'm a little nervous but excited I guess. Still remember the heart ache from before though so trying not to get my hopes up. Gonna try 'just shagging' for a bit before touching the left over sticks.

Hi to anyone I knew on here before, but hopefully you've all popped off to the pregnant threads now!

(Will try catch up with the thread convo but getting used to new app at the mo!)

twinklestar2 · 09/03/2013 23:24

I remember you dulcet!

Thingymajigs · 10/03/2013 07:44

Hi dulcet. Smile
Haha, I know winkle. I love the happy realisation that its Saturday or Sunday.
AF has finally arrived. Too late though for me to enjoy some wine though. Hmm I only really drink on Saturdays during AF or before ovulation. Quite fed up about that but I'm looking forward to a new cycle and trying out the soya iso's.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 10/03/2013 08:47

Hi dulcet best of luck ttc again.

thingy very best of luck with the soy, I highly recommend it.

Thingymajigs · 10/03/2013 09:20

Thanks. I'm willing to give anything a try atm, I've even bought more OPK's to see if they work better for me this time. What dosage did you take?

Alexandra6 · 10/03/2013 09:32

Hi dulcet I've been ttc for 15 months, just trying clomid for the first time (have PCOS) and THINK I ovulated last Weds so in 2ww! Welcome back to the joys of ttc Wink Damn she got you thingy - but good plan to try soy - worked for when! Was just thinking, do you think OPKs are pretty reliable? Wondering how much to trust my lovely smiley face earlier this week!

Thingymajigs · 10/03/2013 09:37

I'm not sure how reliable they are but when I used them with temping I found that I had a temperature rise 4 days after the smiley face. It kind of made it a bit pointless but I haven't heard of anyone else having the same problem. I'm hoping my cycles may have settled by now but I'll check with temping too.

Hi dulcet remember you from before. Hope you don't have to wait too long now for that bfp.

thingy hope AF arrives so you can get on with the next cycle. I hate that limbo feeling when it chooses to arrive a few days late...and gets your hopes up only to come crashing back down.

alex fx for your bfp this month. I trust the OPKs more than the temping. A smiley face is a smiley face. Plus your scans showed a mature follie in line with the opk so most likely you have ovulated :)

After my dream I was pregnant I dreamt last night I was having IVF (sigh)

twinklestar2 · 11/03/2013 09:04

Morning all we managed another dtd last night so that's cd14, 16 and 18. Might go one more time on cd20 but OV signs were def on cd16 so I think we're covered.

Alexandra6 · 11/03/2013 12:44

Good work winkle! I really hope I ov'd when I think I did as didn't manage to DTD on Thurs/Fri because DH was out at work do's and got smashed AND I could smell smoke when he got in and he confessed he'd had a few (doesn't usually smoke, just drunk social smoking) - what's he thinking though! We only have a few cycles on clomid and he's meant to be growing good swimmers - and he was also in no state to dtd in case ov was later than I thought! In his defence, he's usually an amazing DH and has been brilliant on the ttc journey...but still!! Am I a nagging ttc obsessed wife??

Grannyapple · 11/03/2013 14:00

Hi ladies....not sure if you remember me but I was on here last summer...5 cycles later got pg...& am now 5 months pg! I realise 5 cycles is sod all compared to some of you....I have friends who were trying for 3 yrs, went down the IVF route..got pg..then got pg again (naturally) when they're little one was 10wks old!! So there is hope..

But just wanted to say that I found OPK's useful...I had no idea I ov'd day 14 instead of 16 til I used them...first month using them, I got pg (lucky I know, & I know they don't work for everyone!)..but dtd d9, 12, 14 & 15 that month...

Just wanted to pop on to say hello & sorry to see some are still here & horrific times some of you have had...but please don't give up & it WILL happen for you all soon!

Day off today as its my b'day...but staying in as weather is soo pants...ended up doing housework (borrrring!).

Alexandra6 · 11/03/2013 14:17

You sound lovely grannyapple, shame you're not on here anymore - although I'm very glad for your sake you're not Smile

resipsa · 11/03/2013 16:52

Hi everyone. How're you all doing?

Sorry she got you, thingy. I have to use OPKs for my sanity. My O date ranges from CD17 to 21 so they help to ensure DH not spent too early in the game!

Hi dulcet I remember you too. Welcome back but hope you're not here too long IYKWIM.

Sorry to hear of Mother's Day blues. I was with you. My DM still having chemo, has lost all hair and can't be around DD this week cause her immune system is at its weakest. Like when said, the day with a toddler is just a bit rubbish (but I get it that you're thinking at least I have the toddler). Also, I had ERPC on the day after MD last year (would be ironic if it weren't just sad) so the day will always have bad connotations for me.

Hi red, winkle, alex and everyone else on today.
