Hi, I'm not sure if theres already a thread for those hoping for a +ive October. I'm on the +ive Sept one but my fertile window for this month has just passed without being able to try (got to get blood sugars stable before we can try) so next chance to try will be towards end of September (32ish cycle), which means I won't be in a position to test til October. If theres already an October thread please point me in that direction, if not, here we go!

Babymad4num3 · 05/10/2006 18:02

Both me and DH are both 25, i am one day older than him heheheh! My toy boy!

FemaleoftheSpecies · 05/10/2006 18:20

evening everyone

babymad, to make u feel less tmi (dont worry its only us girls), i had a bit of 'tissue' once when i was on pill, much younger. had af pains worst I've EVER had (still remember it) - and passed a bit about an inch square, and i guess about a cm thick.. not sure what it was. i know it hurt. has anyone had similar.

a bit of skin type stuff sounds v hopeful to me.. implantation?

good luck to you and to everyone else waiting on the bfp

ive ordered a his an hers fertility test from access today; originally was going to go for the fertell from boots (1000 extra boots points on it at mo PLUS ten pounds off if you order online over 75 pounds.(). but i thought dh might get cross at me spending 65 pounds when we've been trying five months only (! only! etc etc)

just cant believe i've spent years worrying about not getting pregnant (and yes even disliking kids) and now i want to, and actually want one 0 it's difficult. obviously totally recognise that i've only been in this game a short while compared to some of you - its a swizz though isn't it. surely they could have invented a switch by now so we could choose when we wanted to be fertile.

sorry! longday!

coggy · 05/10/2006 18:55

Stop it all of you!!!!!
No more of that twenty-something milarky please!!!

feedmenow · 05/10/2006 18:56

Thanks for the info everyone! It always makes me feel better to know peoples ages aswell. I've always had a bit of a babyface and looked a lot younger than I was (eg, got ID'd to buy a lottery ticket when I was 20!)and at the children's schools a lot of the other mums are significantly older than me, so I often feel like I'm seen as a silly little girl!
However, I celebrated my 30th earlier this year so now I'm officially in my 30's I think it is time to stop worrying about such silly things
So, Coggy, you'd love to be 24. And Natty, you'd like to be 18. I think my favourite age was about 24 so I would have stuck there too. What about everyone else....what was your optimum age?

Female - not trying to lead you astray, but does DH need to know how much it costs? I just don't think that our men (or mine at least) has any idea what it is like to be us and to be waiting the whole time, so I kind of think "sod it" if I need to spend to help conceive, or to find out, etc, than I jolly well will ( I don't really think in words like that but don't know what I can get away with on here )

coggy · 05/10/2006 18:58

I'm with you on the old Dh doesn't need to know stuff.

I just do the....."oh that?...had it for ages dahling!!!!!"

That doesn't make me bad does it???!!!

rubyroo · 05/10/2006 18:59

hi all been catching up with posts,
babymad i bled for first couple of weeks with dd they said it was a threatened miscarriage you need to talk to someone medical? hope you feel better soon.
am a bit worried about the agnus castus now? babymad can you fill me in? i got it from holland and barratt and looked it up on website first it seemed ok?

rubles they did my fsh twice and said even with clomid i'd never ovulate again they had me booked onto ivf waiting list and my sister went as far a s egg donor counselling!! she wanted me to sell my story to take a break!!

lynneclynne · 05/10/2006 19:16

Is there room for one more????
The last couple of months ive been hanging about on the mc thread, but myself and dh have decided to try again (fingers crossed) all goes well.
Hi to u all, and good luck with ttc!

jess1996 · 05/10/2006 20:05

Hi all. I thought I'd add my details. I'm 28 and DH is 30. This is only our second month of TTC, but I'm impatient (especially after many years of carefully taking the pill - I stopped taking the pill back in Feb). I still have no signs of AF and the weak AF pains I was having seem to have gone away. I've had a nasty taste in my mouth the last couple of days, but I think I'm just imagining pregnancy symptoms. I think I'm going to do one more test at the weekend, then make an appt at the doctors.

Best wishes to all.

jess1996 · 05/10/2006 20:08

I forgot to mention. I'm on day 39 of a 28-30 day cycle. I've no idea when I OV'd.

Flossam · 05/10/2006 20:10

i'm 25 and dp is 27. we have one ds who is 23 months. first month of ttc - although i made a big meal out of it, and now dp is again saying he is happy with one so ttc next month might not be plausable.

lynneclynne · 05/10/2006 20:48

Listening to u girls on here im feeling old for once (envy) Im 32 next month, dh 40 and ds 12, we started ttc in june, was pg in july and had mc sept so decided we were ready to start again this month (hmm) excited yet scared incase we go through all that hurt again, but suppose only time will tell (wink)

coggy · 05/10/2006 20:49

..................or just subtle!!!

Oooh....I am being bad tonight!!!!
It's because I am old y'know!!!!

coggy · 05/10/2006 20:50

Sorry....that 'subtle' comment was aimed for Flossam BTW!

lynneclynne · 05/10/2006 20:52

oh hang on a min, u can tell im new to this!!My wee envy face or wink didnt work hope thats it now, sorry girls, just learning!

rubles · 05/10/2006 21:30

Coggy I'm old too. Old duffers unite! I'm 35 but I think I'd like to be 32 again or failing that then 16. Don't fancy my 20s again.

My AF has arrived - so I shall do the same as babymad and keep a foot in October and November. One month will be my month, I just have to make sure we keep trying and don't let it grind us down as a couple.

Babymad4num3 · 05/10/2006 21:33

Thanks ladies for all your support and advice today!

Rubyroo i'm wondering weather this whole thing i'm going though is down to "doug quai" stuff that i was taking but stoped when I found a website that told you "how to abort a baby with the aid of DQ" and when i did stop taking i had these rapid contraction thing going on within 24hours of stop taking it!

Janus · 05/10/2006 21:59

Oh rubles, I'm so sorry, really thought this was your month what with all those strange crampings, etc, take care lover and stay in October too.
Oh heck, I'm 36, am I the oldest??! I must admit I loved my teens, twenties and thirties, don't know where I'd wish to be again.
I just watched my youngest start her first day at school today, made me feel incredibly emotional, losing my baby to the schooling system, if only for 2.5 hours a day. Also enjoyed having a hot cup of tea mind you !

rubyroo · 05/10/2006 22:07

rubles sorry af has arrived keep chin up

babymad have you spoke to gp about the dong quai? has big bleeding stopped now? take care of yourself flower

rubles · 05/10/2006 22:12

Oh Janus, I remember taking my neice to her first day at school and that was emotional enough for me. I dread dd going - seeing her toddle off all alone into the big world of school, oh no.

Babymad, I remember finding a bit of 'tissue' once, 8 months after dd's birth. We hadn't had sex for over a month so it wasn't a m/c, but it was about the size of a small anchovy but when I tried to dig into it with my thumb it was too dense and thick. Haven't a clue what it was. I'm not taking the dong quai any more either - couldn't hold it down.

Babymad4num3 · 05/10/2006 22:16

Rubyroo, Before I started taking that DQ stuff I tuck it to my doctor and told him that I was going to start taking them, is it okay I asked him, he said he had no clue as he doesn't know anything about that sort of stuff! So I looked on afew websites and it sounded right up my street and okay to take, it was only when I had been taking them a few good weeks when I saw this website, so i stoped!

coggy · 05/10/2006 22:18

Sorry to hear that your AF came today Rubles....I'm 35 too which isn't that old but a significant ttc age...so nasty!!!!!

I had a big lump in my throat the first time I picked my neice up from school.....

rubyroo · 05/10/2006 22:19

i'm thinkin of you babymad hopefully its just af
