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

Hello everyone, sorry I must try and log on here more then once a day as by the time I've read all the posts I forget who's said what!!

Sorry to hear we've had a few BFNs, fingers crossed and best of luck for next month.

gnomie i'm not sure what to do about maternity leave yet as I will only get SML after 6 weeks. I would like to have a year off but not sure if we could afford it as I earn more then DH at the moment. I will have to look into APL as I don't know anything about it .

C99 I hope this guy you have met is the start of a relationship for you, how do you feel about him? could you see yourself in a relationship with him? Can I just ask, what would you do if one of these guys pulled out a condom? I'm sorry but i can't help feeling sorry for these guys your sleeping with.

Goodnight all, cd7 for me tomorrow and af practically gone :) x

Hi Cristabell. Thank you for your reply. How do I feel about him? well I don't think we'll walk up the isle, but hey you never know. He called me again today and I'm seeing him Friday.

Contraception has never been mentioned, but that is a good point about the condom. I don't know what I'd do there. I'd be in a no win situation really I mean if he asked about contraception and I said "Oh it's all sorted then I would be being deceitful. However if they ask me no questions I'm telling no lies. Also I couldn't say don't wear a condom as I am only sleeping with you in the hopes of getting pregnant my god he'd run a mile, so I'd be in a bit of a dilemma there,but that is a valid question.
You say you feel sorry for the guys I sleep with but they do not complain at the time.
Good luck to you for next month. xxx

C999, 2 things 1 I hope your existing child is safe and not home when you bring these strays home to impregnate you. 2 if the kind of men you're sleeping with/making love to/having sex with (whatever term you want to call it) are the type that always just pick up random women to sleep with and without protection then they are massively risky. Of course they must be the type because that's what you purposely go for.

Point 2 is not that important you're an adult and your sexual health is your issue. Point 1 is much more important and I hope you have an excellent baby sitter so your child does not have to be exposed to all this. Although I'm sure you do because no parent would be THAT stupid.

So I caved again today and POAS. Another BFN

Starting to wish I hadn't bought the internet cheapies... I can feel them all the time in the drawer looking at me with their little blue faces, saying "Come to me, come to me, come and see my lovely purple lines..."

OK, it's not quite that bad, but working from home does make it very hard to resist!

Still zero symptoms, so convinced AF is going to arrive on time at the weekend.

Hope you're all having good days!

Hi Lady Mia. Welcome to the thread. Another person I have to explain my self to though . but here goes anyway... No I do not bring men back to the house when my daughter is present. I only make love when she stays out or occasionally on my day off when she's in school. I would never do that. I may not have many sexual morales but as I am mother my dedication love care and nurturing side toward my child knows know bounds.
Good luck with your ttc journey. xx

C99 - sorry but your term "making love" when used with a total stranger is a complete oxymoron. I "make love" to my dp because just that - we love each other. As crude and blunt as this is, you're just shagging a complete stranger who may be riddled with sti's, genetic defects, blood disorders the list is endless. You and an unborn baby could contract ANYTHING. You don't strike me as moral or responsible at all. I feel for your daughter.

Well that's your opinion coffee1sugar and you're entitled to it but I am not going let these comments from faceless people upset me anymore. I know I am a good mum.
I will/do call it making love and I am free to as like I said every time I do make love I see at as I could be creating a new life.
I am really past caring now with what anyone thinks (oh so perfect you included) I have been over reasonable on here explaining myself to people on here,but no more.

I have to wonder am I disliked here because I am a single parent and not with a "D.P" because it is starting to come over like that by some of the comments.
Please do try not be smug Coffee1sugar as the fates and karma do not like it. Like I said to Catherine1Catherine the wheel of fortune moves all the time and life can sneak up on you when everything is seemingly fine and life sometimes has a way of helping you out when everything's gone wrong. (thoughts inspired by the song Ironic)
I may have been harsh here but no more harsh than what you have been to me.
I thought targeted attacks were not allowed on here, but then I have gave as good as I've got
Also coffee1sugar (again why I feel compelled to explain myself to you, sweet Jesus alone knows), but like I said the guy who MADE LOVE to me wants to see me again. xx
I am seeing him Friday, but had you read my comments properly instead of playing judge and jury you'd have known that.
Good luck in ttc. I hope you get your B.F.P in June. x

Welcome flowerandrandd, i've not been on for a day or so and your story made me chuckle. The same thought has crossed my mind a few times but then in the same breath i sometimes look at DS and think how is it possible that we made something so beautiful, I NEED another one!

Sorry to hear about the BFNs, although it is still early days for some of you so don't lose hope!

C999 no one has singled you out for being a single parent, not one person on this thread, but plenty have said that the methods of conceiving you are adopting (i.e. sleeping with unsuspecting strangers and putting yourself at huge risk) are immoral and misguided. I think you should take your own advice and 'read comments properly'.

You have been shown a lot of concern on this thread, people concerned for your sexual health and emotional well being as well as concern for the poor saps you are sleeping with in the hopes of falling pregnant, yet you ignore almost all of those concerns, whitewash over them and instead focus on misread slights and 'injustices'.

Ah, Monstamio sorry about the BFN. I haven't tested again yet, but I know what you mean about those internet cheapies - it's almost as if it's too cheap and easy.

I'm desperate to buy a proper test, but the price is really putting me off, so I will try and hold out if I can.

I had a tiny bit of pink in some cm today - AF is due in 3 or more days, is that too late for implantation do we think? Or is it AF on her way?

I thought I had symptoms last week, but now I'm not so sure as I feel fine now!

I will poas in the morning, I've got 3 cheapies left.

Thankyou for your reply Golden handshake, but I've heard on here a lot of times now about the poor men, but there is never any complaints at the time from these "poor" men. Can I embarrass myself and ask what does saps mean.
Also I think I was too hasty with the am I disliked for being a single parent and I will be women enough to say, "I take it back", but I still stand by everything else I said. xx

Hooray... back on topic!!

Tiny from what I've read I think that sounds about spot on timings-wise. Most resources say implantation occurs 6-12 days post ovulation. So assuming that your cycles are around 28 days, that would be about now if you're not due for another 3 days.

Keeping everything crossed for you - would be lovely for someone to get a BFP in month one.

WRT buying a test, I think I'm going to wait to get a proper one until I've either had a positive on a cheapie or it's clear in some other way that I'm probably upduffed (ie missed period).

Oh... posted too soon

Hi tiny!

Here is an implantation calculator I found on another website, should tell you wether it could be or not!!

WARNING: the site contains many pointless calculators and symptom spotting tools!!

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/implantation_calculator.php

I hope you're right Monstamio It sounds too good to be true!

Becca that website sounds like heaven! I will have a play when I get home from work. I'm having to do all this in stealth mode so no one can see over my shoulder!

I feel like a naughty schoolgirl flicking between windows whenever someone walks past!

I just used the implantation calculator ... And my most likely day of implantation is ... TODAY ... It has made me re-think that bottle of wine i was going to pick up on the way home - So i think i will just pick up a mini one and have just a glass!

And this ...

If implantation were to occur on the most common day (9 DPO - May 22, 2013) the earliest an early pregnancy test is likely to show a positive result would be: May 24, 2013 to May 26, 2013

Is basically saying I have just wasted my time POAS for the last 2 days!

So now I am going to wait untill Tuesday 28th May to test if somebody confiscates my internet cheapies

I'm the same, I have two screens, and I have work stud on the top one and this v small on the bottom!

Hippo I am 9dpo as well today! Interesting isn't it!

I am in two minds about testing pre holiday on Saturday or waiting til Monday...

Hungry I just read exactly the same numbers as you and had exactly the same thought process

C999 I say 'poor men' because they have no idea they are being used for the purpose of conceiving a child, as far as they are concerned it's no strings attached sex, of course they won't be complaining at the time, who would?

If I were single, offered sex on a plate with no commitment by someone I found attractive, I wouldn't say no either. It's the subversive nature of what you are doing, potentially making that man a father without his agreement or the chance to know his child, that makes them 'poor men'. Can you really not see that there is anything wrong with that? I would also like to know why you have avoided all questions on why you don't just use a donor instead? I don't think I have seen you reply to that question head on yet.

By 'sap' I mean someone who is naive and taken advantage of.

Also, I am glad you realise no one was attacking you for being asingle parent, I assure you none of what is said on here is meant with malice.

Apologies to everyone for derailing the thread! To get back on topic:

I have favourited that link Becca, so as soon as I get this damned coil out I can start actively ttc and make use of all these tools

I would use a sperm donor, but don't they cost a lot of money, sorry if that's a daft question. Maybe this potential relationship will work out anyway, xx

C999 I am not sure on cost, and not something I want to google at work but it must be worth looking into surely, at least you'd know they'd been screened for diseases and knowingly gave their donation intedning to help someone become a parent.

I hope this new relationship does work out for you.

I'm gonna attempt to swing this convo back. Sooo, I've had sex cd 6,10,12,13. Today is cd15. How many more times do I have to rope dp in?!

Oh and according to the link posted up thread my ovulation date is apparently TODAY, though I'm not 100% as only had mirena out in march. Looks like sexytime this eve. (off to wash hair, shave legs)
