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

Well I caved when I got home and poas! BFN

I think I had drank too much tea, the sample wasn't exactly strong. Will try again in the morning.

Good luck tonight coffee!

Not over til AF arrives tiny

Thankyou for your reply goldenhandshake, in regards to sperm donation. Just looked at the cost though and can be up to £1,000 so I don't think I'll be taking that route.

I'll just stick to this guy for now, at least I don't have to pay him to make love to me.
I've given myself a time limit though if I am not pregnant with in year (whether)this new guy or someone else) I'll think about looking in to adoption or I might just buy a puppy or kitten xx

oh I do love kittens and puppies. My DH wouldn't let me have one so we're going down the baby route You know, them being so similar and all...

Well ladies, I was sure I could resist temptation and not do a pregnancy test until the day after my period is due (the 29th) but you are weakening my resolve with all this talk of poas! I won't let myself build up for a disappointment although as ridiculous as it sounds I'm sure I'm imagining pregnancy symptoms so I think secretly I really do want it to happen this time around even though it could cause problems ahead. Tbh though, next month really would be perfect for all us poor teachers. My DD was born in March and ML worked out beautifully, I returned to work for 5 days before the summer just so I could reclaim my classroom, gossip with co-workers and watch films. Best of all - full pay in the summer and almost full pay for July!

Catherine !!

Step away from the sticks! !

Ladies, I have a confession to make.....I haven't a clue whats going on with my body, TMI alert so I came off pill on the 12th then from the 15th had a 4/5 day light bleed, so started DTD every other day then yesterday I had a clear gloopy discharge, could this be the mystical EWCM? I have to say the things that come out of our bodies!!!!!

Oh god just googled EWCM .... Why do they put images on the first page! I think I may vom...excuse me....

Pretty sure missed my window this month dtd cd6,10,12,13. Today is cd16 and dp is out tonight so think that's it for me this month

lol Gnomie - I'm too much of a coward to google such things. Especially when I'm having my breakfast!

Well fingers crossed that was enough Coffee!

Gnomie thanks, I googled. Now I need eye bleach!

Oh God .. Now i'm going to have to google ...

And this morning and didn't POAS

However I might treat myself tomorrow morning and then if still BFN leave it for the weekend. I just can't help myself

It's nearly Friday ... Thank God!!

It's not just nearly Friday. It's nearly Friday AND a bank holiday weekend. Woo Hoo!

Hmmmph, well I was expecting to start my period 3 days ago and still no sign. It's a bit annoying as I thought I had my cycles sussed out but obviously not. Last night I went through my calendar, rather helpfully I've noted down 7 cycles over the past year. The average length is 25 days but they have varied a bit, with the longest cycle being 29 days but generally around 24/25. So now I'm on day 29 but no sign of period.

Obviously I'd be excited if we'd actually been trying this month, but there's no way I'm pregnant. I just want it to hurry up so I can get going on my ttc mission!

Anyway enough of my menstrual woes. Good luck to all those poas!

Oh and what does everyone think about this news about iodine in pregnancy? I'm sure I must get enough anyway as I'm not vegan/veggie, but it's made me think maybe I should get some proper conception/pregnancy multivitamins just in case. I'm only taking folic acid at the moment.

No 1Catherine1. Puppies and kittens are not he same as babies (hence the sceptical icon) (face) but they do need to be nurtured loved cared for and protected as you would do with a child, and you still the same unconditional love and acceptance for who are as you do with children. x

Mushi I've been reading about that today. It's interesting because the advice is to get more iodine from milk and dairy (as well as fish), but other advice says don't drink an excessive amount of milk because of the potential to cause insulin problems for the baby (I don't know the details, haven't had time to read at length, though I will). And certain kinds of fish are also a no no. You can't just eat herrings every day!

My doctor advised me to take Vitamin D as well as Folic acid whilst ttc so I'm on the full pregnacare vitamins as it seemed easier than faffing about. I've just checked and it contains 93% of the RDA for iodine. Maybe worth upgrading to that... it can't hurt, can it?

I warned you about the Google!

I'm taking Pregnacare Conception, it pretty much has every vitamin and pregnancy related mineral known to man in it, though I have found myself ahhem "gassy" out of the rear end over the past few days.

It's a hard road to walk, so many studies say, take this but not too much, don't take that unless xyz etc so confusing!

Hi all, sorry about all the BFNs, sending fertile vibes to you all! I'm only day 7 now, got a good feeling about this month, find myself looking up what my due date would be if got pregnant each month!

Good luck to those testing next few days.

By the way my DS (2.6) has out of the blue started telling me he wants a baby sister!

Hi Itsnotrocketscience. I thought it was only me who did that looked up due dates (if I was pregnant) Although I haven't checked for this month.
My D.D is always saying she wants a baby brother. I'd love a boy as well to be honest. There's something incredible about the mother and son bond, isn't there, but then you'd know being blessed with a son. I hope your D. gets his baby sister. Perhaps you are already pregnant and your son knows. (They, whoever they are), say children are phsycic (sorry, terrible speller. xxx

Sorry D was meant to say D.S. XX

So blunt and out there but can toxic farts be a positive sign?!

Hhaha don't know coffee let's hope so! Itsnotrocketscience that is a good sign I reckon! Ooooh I'm getting all excited for everyone now, can't wait till our first bfp

Tmi but my cm has gone back to thick/gloopy so really hope I caught ovulation. %23obsessed. 2ww has begun. Report writing will get me through (not!)
