Anyone else going to start ttc next month?

[Coffee1Sugar]

Anyone like to join me on this journey of conception?! Going to start in May to ttc no 2

We dtd 5 times over ov (I hope) it was difficult to do any more as dh was working away quite a bit.

Good Morning All.

Sorry about the BFN tiny and I hope you get your itchy skin condition under control.

I still feel queezy... so like a twat I caved and POAS this morning ... If I was right and I OV'd on the 13th i'm not due AF untill next week ... of course it was a BFN ... If i still feel like this on Friday ... I'm going to pee again No other symptoms really ... Suppose I am little more tired than usual as I am sleeping up to my alarm going off and normaly I wake up about half an hour before.

Anyone else except for me and tiny testing soon?

Take care all

Yes, me

Due AF next Monday. Also POAS on Sun (yes, I know, as if it was going to show anything!). So prob going to try again at the weekend.

Tiny, hope that was a line you saw!

C999 you seem determined to make this into some sort of bun fight, you ignore various points in every reply to you but pick on the parts you deem negative . That is one of the major reasons I believed (and am still not entirely unconvinced) that you were a troll.

I will go back to ignoring your posts, get on with it but don't say you weren't warned if it all goes horribly wrong. I hope for your sake and your potential unborn child's, that you do not pick up some god awful disease.

Tiny sorry to hear about your BFN I hope there is a line there later!

C99 - I really hope you take on everyones advice - you are opening yourself upto so many diseases - Ok so you have your regular STI's but what about things that you can't cure like Genital warts, or worst case sceanario HIV/AID's? And they are the things you can pass onto your unborn baby. Why not give yourself 12 months to date and meet someone. If you still haven't found anyone look into donor sperm instead. I find it really morally wrong to go out and "make love" to strangers in hope that you may get pregnant - These poor men that are sleeping with you thinking nothing more of it and they don't realise you are hoping to make them a DAD . And I really hope that if you choose to ignore the advice you have been given and suceed with getting pregant by a stranger you don't contact them for financial support or go through the CSA (If you are in Britain) to claim money off them.

Also what happens if you sleep with A and then getting tested - then sleep with B (but B has an STI) get the results back saying all clear but then you sleep with C and pass him the STI B gave you?

I want you to know I am not flaming you I find it very brave and strong of you to want to go it alone. It is just the way you are going about it that I am having a hard time with - as you have a choice to do it the right way - And i feel like you are picking the cunning deceitful way to do it. And it isn't fair on the people you are sleping with.

I had a bfn this morning shouldn't have tested as I'm stupid to think it would work on month one but it did with dd2 I wasn't even ovulating and was bf wtf!

Anyway went to marksy and bought a £20 bottle of red to commiserate as af pains are rife today so minute she comes shall be pouring a glass!

Sorry tiny xxx

Also I know I am new to this thread but ones I was on before were lovely and I feel c99's choices are clouding everyone's responses, we all have opinions but maybe live and let live and maybe c99 keep your chat on the baby making level instead if details that will get people's back up x

I think I'm still a bit early to test as AF not really due till end of the week or even later, so there is still hope for me yet.

It's nice to know there are others testing at the end of the week too I really hope we get a BFP this month from somebody!

Sorry about your BFNs Hippo and Flower I think we'll all have better luck by the end of the week.

Sorry to hear about your BFN Flower, but enjoy your wine. I love a good quality red! And there's always next month!

We're not always so heated and opinionated on here. We're actually a pretty supportive bunch usually. Things have just come to a bit of a head with the whole way of going about getting pregnant.

Now it's all out in the open, I'm sure it will blow over. I for one am more than happy to go back to discussing symptoms only

Sorry for the BFN's flower and tiny I'm no-where near testing stage yet, not due to ovulate until 29th according to my app.

Catherine1Catherine. To start off on a positive welcome back to the thread. However.
1 Please feel free to give your opinion, we live do after all have the freedom of speech. but. My life circumstances and choices as wrong and imorale as they may be are not for you play judge and jury
2 You do care that I as you put it "Shag around" or you would not have mentioned it.
3 I am free to call it whatever I like and I will continue to call it making love as I always see it as I am possibly creating a new life.
4 While I wish no-one's relationship to breakdown, I'm a human being and I cetainly do not begrudge people loving relationships, I have made the decision to be single so envy would be a bit hypocritical, but never forget the wheel of fate. moves all the time and one day I could be a loving relationship ttc and you could be single and broody. x

Goldenhandshake. I have no intentions of turning anything into a bun fight. I have enough petty arguments to deal with in the real world with wanting to biccer with people on here. However it seems that everyone else is allowed to say what the like to me and yes they have good reason to, but as soon as I defend myself I am seen as trouble maker or a troll which really upset me last week but this time I am not going to let it upset me as I know I am not and that should be all that matters.x

Hungary hippo.
thankyou for your advice maybe a sperm donor could be the correct route to go down or perhaps this potential relationship may just work out.x

Flowerandrandd.
Welcome to the thread. but c99 is an adult and free to make her own choices. x

Gnomiegrace. Sorry for the B.F.P. Sending lots of baby dust for next month. xx

Tinypolkadot. Thankyou for kind words. xx

C99 I hope the relationship works out for you I really do! Just protect yourself. I know the feeling of longing for a child can be intense (probably worse so when you feel as if you are running out of time). But please just think about the choices you are making

ION - I still feel horrificly queezy. I had a MC in 2011 and this was my only sympton. I wasn't really bloated didn't really get sore boobs or anything. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Don't get me wrong I would be ecstatic for a BFP when I test in a few days time - But I have a lot going on in June that would make a BFN not such a negative thing ... A visit to a theme park, a friends wedding, my birthday and my friends hen party. Keep using Dr Google to search for pregnancy symptons 8DPO... God if my employers saw my internet history I think they would be horrified.

Sorry to hear about all the BFN's today ladies - Let's hope for better results for when we test again!!

I also have a browser history that would make my HR dept go collectively pale! I 'm not sure if I like the fact that my companies new maternity policy is trimmed in Pink or not! Has anyone on here considered APL or have you had any experience of this? I earn twice as much s DH, as things stand my earning potential is greater than his so I was thinking about returning to work 20 weeks after the birth and for him to take 15 weeks APL? I know this is a conception thread but it's something that I've been thinking about whilst ttc.

I don't get to test til 5th June!! Ahhh I'm going nuts already

Gnomie A couple of my friends did this and it worked well for them by all accounts. The dad loved the opportunity to spend that time with his dc which he wouldn't otherwise have had and I don't think the mum found going back as hard as she feared. Since then they have made the decision to both go back to work part time and share the childcare between them. They're both on generous wages which is why this is possible so it won't be feasible or right for everyone but thought I'd mention it.

to top my bfn off my 4 year old has just proclaimed her dinner looks like sick and she is leaving to live with nanny who gives her chicken nuggets... and i want another one because??....

I am uncomfortably bloated. You could stick a pin in my stomach and I'd explode. No doubt IBS but I can hope!

coffee I felt like that most of last week, it was awful. Its not like me not to clean my plate!

I just checked my stick from this morning, no line. Obviously the going to work and checking after 6 hours trick doesn't work for me!

I'm not sure, but I think I might have had the odd pains from AF today, she can bugger off!

Love the sound of both working part time to bring up dc's, great idea.

flower I'll always lol when I think of Dh slaving away for a big family meal and dn crying because he didn't want to eat "the poo" to be fair, it was a very pooey looking curry!

Dd (3 on Monday) is currently wearing her wellies back to front and jumping in puddles soaking her newly washed/ironed jammies after a bath. Maybe one's enough

flowerandrandd - obviously you want another to replace the one who is going to live with the nanny! I'm hoping that my next one will leave the CM voluntarily rather than needing to be bribed with chocolate.

All this POAS already! Here's hoping that we start getting some BFP pretty soon [fingers crossed].

I hadn't even considered my internet history at work! I do hope my employer doesn't check it, especially since I'm going for a promotion soon and I wouldn't like to miss out on it because I'm pregnant [wishful thinking] or ttc.

Hiya - thought I would just check in to see how everybodies evening was going?

DP has just made me a cup of tea, fetched me a blanket and my TTC book and given me some chocolate - heaven

WRT to maternity leave the only thing I've thought about is I really want my maternity leave to last untill christmas 2014!! Pretty impossible if I get upduffed this cycle but doable from my next cycle onwards. But that's about as far as I've got.

Wrt to maternity leave only thing I've thought about is as a teacher it'd be good to tie in leaving at the end of a term/half term!

Me too coffee, although if this cycle works it won't happen, as Christmas would be too early, an half term would be too late!

Sounds like bliss HungryHippo! DH is letting me watch one born every minute so am very happy curled up with the dog!
