Hoping for a positive in October!

[BBWBabeLisa]

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!

Natty, thinking of you xx

Hey desperate we are having similar meal experiences.

Went to an expensive restaurant on Sunday and had our worst meal ever. I won't name it in case they sue me but it?s the one looking out onto London Bridge.

My steak was brought out cold not once but twice (after I sent it back) Two other friends meals arrived as we were finishing ours!
The waiter threw water over one of friends and then picked up the bottle off the floor and tried to give it to us.
We got 20% off the bill without even asking but they did try and charge for service on top of that!

I am really hopefull for you as it sounds like everything is in place for a lucky month.

I am going to try Flaxseed oil soon and have Accupunture tomorrow.... Fingers crossed

Well done getting something out of them Desperate. I send things back all the time when they are not right (why should we just put up with crap?!) but DH feels the same way as your DP! Is there a buffet that you can go to one night? if it's a free meal, it could be for any reason so hopefully, the kitchen wouldn't even know you'd complained before!

Cityangel - what an awful experience you had too! makes me really cross when I get bad food and service. Tell me about the acupuncture, have you been before and are you going specifically for TTC or for other reasons?

Good for you Desperate!

Hopefully the kitchen staff won't even know you're getting a freebie will they?

You wouldn't pay them anyway so try to persuade your DH and make the most of your 'compensation'!!

N&T&B.......still thinking about you....hope you are getting sorted out.

its all booked for 2 weeks saturday! i hope this includes drinks too im sure we will make damn sure we get our moneys worth unless of course there is a bfp in my midst

cityangel - I'm intrigued by that crap restaurant meal. The only one that i can think of that is vaguely in that vicinity is the O.T - but that is passed Blackfriars bridge.

I was thinking that one too rubles! There is another one, "A", but not sure that's right either.

Hey Natty thinking of you. Hope you're back soon for hugs xxx

Hey Rubles and Sideways what stupid London Bunny I am. Big Muppet. Having lived in London all my life (last 3 years by the river clearly I am lacking one thing.. accurate bridge citation...)

I meant Tower bridge, the place in question could be nicknamed slskis and is in

Cinnabar Wharf. They have great restaurants everywhere else just not this one.

Hey Desperate go for it with the visit back. I am used to complaing as my family

seem to attract bad service, luck etc. It's nice your place are making the effort to rectify things. I expect you will have a great night! Good plan to BFP together or if not buddys are always needed in my world.

My soon to be former boss told me last night that his daughter and wife had a

terrible meal and were grateful their embarassing Dad wasn't there to complain.. Th

next time he went back to his daughter's university town he insisted they went back

to the chain. He marched up to the waiter without their knowledge and explained the situation to the maitre D and not surprisingly they had the best meal ever.

Hey MrsMC I get annoyed too but normally I am the pacifier of the group. So imagine

my friends 'surprise when I told the restaurant manager in person that it was truly

the worst meal I have had in 5 years. I enjoyed being frank as there was little

else to do.

Accupuncture is a funny old deal. I am a traditional bunny and saw no need to try

alternative medacine until conventional options failed. However wanting to boost my

chances (if that is the case) it seemed like a good option to try. I know it took my Mum 2 and 3 years respectively with me and my brother so I decided to go for it in the ttc department. To be honest the posts I have read suggest accupunture can help. I hope it will. I tried it last month and found it unusual, not relaxing. I am not convinced but will try it twice and see how I feel.

Sorry for the long post. I can truly say you are all my only friend in the ttc world and I really appreciate your advice and frankness.

Baby and restaurant dust to all xxx angel

Hello. Can I join you ladies ? This thread is huge so may take me a while to catch up on all your stats tho. My DH and I are both 32 and are in our first month ttc our 3rd. Already have two ds's age 7 and 3. I'm on cd25 but have quite an irregular cycle, sometimes 35 days, so used opk and am 5dpo. We conceive in first month trying for DS2 but can't imagine being so lucky again this time. Have an early test kit but going to try and hold out until 14 dpo (if I can manage!).

Morning everyone. Sad news from me today. Looks like I am no longer ttc, and not for the good reason either.
Having been planning this for the past 18 months, maybe more, it now seems that my dp is having too many doubts to justify us carrying on with our efforts.
Having discussed his smoking and drinking, and how a baby would effect our lives many, many times it seems that only now, now we've actually started trying, now I've been through umpteen GP appointments about my medication and about my birth choices (wanted a vbac), having had my coil removed, having been taken folic acid, having been making all those plans in my head, and ALL the rest, he has now said he doesn't think he is prepared to give up smoking, cut down dramatically on the drinking and live with the financial implications. I am, of course, absolutley devastated. I am sitting here at work wanting to cry, and feeling rather sick. I mean, I know it is better that he has said now, before we've actually conceived but I don't know how I am going to re-think all of my thoughts and plans that I've had for sooo long.
So anyway, I guess what I am saying is pretty much goodbye and goodluck to you all. I'll think of you all and hope thateveryone gets their BFP's and that you all go on to have happy and healthy pg's and happy and healthy lo's.
Hugs and babydust all round.
xx

Take care Feedmenow.

Feedmeknow - I have only just joined this thread posting generally so don't know anything about you but just wanted to say how sorry I am and I hope things change for you in the future.

feedmenow oh i'm so very sorry!

girls,
i missed 2 days still having negatives, what should i do? i used tesco pg test

feedmenow, I'm so sorry about your dh change of heart. I know what it's like to dream and make plans before anything's even happened and it is very hard to take those away again.
Just one thing though, have you told your dh how upset this has made you? If you haven't and you can talk this all through he may still be able to make the changes if he knows how important this is for you. Anyway, you never know what the future may hold and he still may change his mind in time. Good luck.
Divamummy, I think everyone seems to trust clearblue, may be worth buying their brand?

Feedmenow that's a very difficult decision I really feel for you.
Maybe in time dp will change his mind. As its something you really want living without it as a couple is going to be very hard on your relationship.
It could be that the thought of too much change overwhelmed dp. Maybe you could agree a future time to reconsider not trying or a time to resume trying. I really hope it works out.

Feedmenow, im so sorry to hear this,i agree with janus, i think u should both sit down and discuss this matter fully. This also happened with my friend and not only did it change her feelings towards dp, she is now considering seperating with him as he has hurt her so much, im not saying this will happen with urselfs, however i personally couldnt live with this decision made by dp. My thoughts are with u xxx

Big hugs Feedmenow - I really feel for you and know how we women move on in our minds so much beyond TTC which is as far as most men get on the thought process. I agree with the others, you have to let him know how much this means to you, he is maybe just a bit scared by all the changes he thinks he'll have to make and let's face it, not all men do make any changes, some carry on and do their thing and let their wives get on with rearing the kids, maybe he is more like that but at the end of the day, it could be a fundamental difference between you and you have to address it. Really hope that you get your baby xx

Hi all, wonder if I could get some advice.

Now on cd8, af was a day late but otherwise pretty normal, but I now have some bleeding which I have never had before outside af.

Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Feedmenow - so sorry your dh doesn't want to ttc. I hope you can both have a good chat and clarify what happens now and how you both feel about things.

I'm not sure if I am in the right place. My husband and I have just started TTC, this is our first go. Should find out early next week. AF due on Sunday, so going to test middle of next week if AF doesn't show up. Been having niggly cramps for about a week though, so not positive about a BFP.
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
Best of luck to everyone else hoping for a BFP.

xx

Ready4...............you are in the right place.
Welcome
I hope that you do not have to hang around here for too long!!!!!

Sideways......no help from me I'm afraid.

Do I have any cycle buddies this month?
CD11 for me today.

Hi Sideways,

I've had a similar thing happen today. This month AF was 2 weeks late and when it arrived it was much lighter than usual, but lasted longer - 5 days of light bleeding whereas usually 2 days fairly heavy bleeding. I thought it was all finished on Tuesday, but today (CD7) I suddenly had quite a bit of bright red bleeding and cramps. Within a few hours it had stopped again. I was really stressed with work and TTC last month so I'm assuming I didn't OV and now my body is a bit confused (I know my brain is a bit confused ). I'm afraid I don't know the answer, but hopefully things will sort themselves out. My problem is I think that I never had late AF or odd periods before TTC, but I probably did and just didn't pay any attention before!

Is it possible that when you want something so much, you start to imagine symptoms?
AF has never been early in my life, and I do get "the ache" that lets me know she's on her way a couple of days before hand, but I have had crampy niggly feelings for about a week, and TMI ALERT>>> my nipples have been soooo sensitive and constantly hard for about a week too .
I am sure that these are phantom symptoms and AF will arrive on Sunday/Monday.
As this is our first month TTC I shouldn't be too anxious, I know that, but I am - surely I am only going to get worse as the months go by??
Sorry for going on... Just had to get that off my chest to stop poor DH having to hear it

Hi All

Am nervously adding myself to the thread. DH and I have recently decided (within last week) to try for baby number 3 (DD aged 5 and DS aged almost 3). Never felt completely convinced after DS was born that the family was complete but thought we had come to a decision that we were lucky to be a happy and healthy family of 4. However, for a number of months I have been worried that if we don't try for another baby that I will regret it when it is too late (will be 36 in December). Am nervous on a number of levels;

have we made the right decision?
what impact will a third child have on our DD and DS?
what risks do I now face as an over 35 'mummy'?

Am currently on day 19 of my cycle and have not really tried to hard this month but who knows...

Looking forward to making this journey with you all.

hi guys referral for tomorrow morning 8am. will keep u updated.
