I wouldn't say Jayden is chavvy but it is very popular here (sw Scotland). dd2 has 3 in her class and there are only 8 boys in the class Shock

saying that maybe it's just a regional thing as dd1 was and still is in top 10 names and she's the only one in her school Grin

dtd this morning, may try for tonight but tbh I am shagged out haha haha Blush

Nice to see you back Iam. I know what you mean by the time I get to the end of fertile time I have truly had enough!

AF has arrived today feeling quite sad and disheartened feel as though it's never gonna happen for me.

Cycle 4 I am sorry I know how people try much longer. I had got my hopes up again and to add insult to injury just back from shopping and brought tests. At least I didnt waste money peeing on them!

Yes Ducky we had a girl and boy name all picked out ready for our gender scan so as soon as we knew he was a boy he was called Jayden :) I think I was too eager tho! lol!

Iam that's a lot of Jayden's in one class!! And I know what u mean about being shagged out haha! We are only just starting the fertile period!!! :O can't wait till its over already haha!!

21 sorry to hear about AF :( BUT cycle 4 May be lucky :) I conceived on cycle 4. Fx for u Thanks and 21 on cycle 3 I poas then literally (TMI warning!!) i wiped and there was blood! So at least u can keep the tests for next month :)

21questions · 18/10/2014 15:33

This was cycle 4 for me cupcake. So upwards and onwards to cycle 5. I have my pre-seed ready so lets hope it works for me. I feel a bit better already. I'm going out this evening so at least I can have a drink.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

MrsPopple29 · 18/10/2014 17:41

Boo to AF 21! Sad I know exactly how you feel... It WILL happen! Cycle 7 was my month, I figured if I didn't conceive within 6 months it would prob take years, but I was wrong! Fx for next month :)

Cupcake, I like both Jayden and Theo. And where I live (Essex!) I've only ever taught 1 Jayden in nine years of teaching! So it can't be that chavvy!

Hi bears!

Thank you mrspopple that reassures me. Had a chat with dh as well and he said we just need to keep trying and he thinks we are getting closer each month (even though he has no way of knowing) so that made me feel better too.

Only just getting to bed yawn..

Cupcake92 · 19/10/2014 07:23

21 dont worry it will happen :) I too have to keep telling myself this as after MMC l keep thinking I'll never be able to conceive a healthy baby. But it'll happen :)
And gosh u were in bed late Grin I was asleep by half 9 haha!

Popple I LOVE Essex ! I nearly moved there just as I had met DH. Was going to live in Colchester as was going to go to their college and work at a local care home. It's so beautiful! I used to always go to Mersea Island and sit on the beach. And Tiptree, their jam factory haha brilliant :)

Start testing with my OPK's today as I should ovulate In the next few days yay!

Cupcake92 · 19/10/2014 09:26

It's true that if u save ur sperm for a day or 2 it improves the quality of it?
Proving more likely to conceive then right?

Ducky23 · 19/10/2014 10:57

Cupcake as far as I knew it was best to DTD every other day as it gives the guy more time to 'replenish' lol Grin

Haven't heard from lulu in a while, wonder where she's at! Hope she can find us!

OP posts:
poppet85 · 19/10/2014 11:05

I dont know but when I became pregnant we were doing every other day

iamdivergent · 19/10/2014 11:29

I asked this the other day - i'm not sure but I got pg with dd1 after 3mth of several times a day sex Blush but it took 18+ month with dd2 if every the day

21questions · 19/10/2014 14:28

I've heard every other day too but not sure? Also DH doesnt seem up for every day now lol.

I was wondering about lulu too hope she is doing ok.

Is anyone else taking epo? This is my third month now just taking before ovulation and AF seems a lot less heavy and painful than normal so its either a coincidence or it's doing me good.

Cupcake92 · 19/10/2014 14:58

Okay so every other day is good. Cuz me and DH aren't up for everyday anymore either it's just too exhausting and we really do like to just go to bed and sleep haha!

Yes I was wondering about Lulu I rele do hope she's fine and well Thanks

Yea I think the private ones can really help with the anxiety tori (even if only for a few hours! Confused

OP posts:
poppet85 · 19/10/2014 19:53

Go for it Tori if it helps but your mind at rest

Cupcake92 · 19/10/2014 21:14

Will deffo go with every other day then :) go for it Tori the private scans are very good and so much more detailed than NHS ones and can be very reasurring :) I'll deffo be getting one when I fall pg.

I'm not very well tonight and have been sick :( I want to just go to bed now but DS is teething and is very bad and is up crying atm, its a struggle to get him to sleep. So far I can see 5 teeth that are very very close to breaking through his gums! It must be so painful for him.
I feel awful tho and DH is on Fifa and won't look after DH for me :(

21questions · 19/10/2014 21:26

Poor DS cupcake hope those teeth come through for him soon. DH is being very unfair I hope its just a blip in his recent good behaviour. Hope you feel better in the morning.

Poor ds cupcake Sad hope the discomfort doesn't last long for him. Very selfish of DH Hmm

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 19/10/2014 22:24

DS is asleep!!!! Woohoo! :)
I've been for a quick shower and feel a bit better as I feel fresh haha.
I'm off to bed now just hope it was a one off throw up as I rele need a nights sleep.

And Tori I can imagine even just one week causes a lot of anxiety. I know I'll be worried as soon as I get a bfp.
Not sure how I will feel tbh, this miscarriage has rele broke me. I don't show it but it's made me really depressed. I'd get the scan Tori it'll help to see baby wiggling around :)

Hope you managed to get some sleep cupcake and are feeling better! Hope your DH pulled himself together aswell! I should have took it as a warning, my h has been awful this morning.

He chucked all his clothes on the floor the other day and just said 'that needs washing', it all stunk so he watched me scoop it all up and put it in the wash, this morning he has gone mad because it had his work jumper in and apparently he has nothing else to wear now Hmm then he has gone roud the house making a complete mess! He brought all his hair stuff into the lounge because apparently all the mirrors upstairs aren't good enough, then he's just left all the things cluttering up the lounge, theennnnn he goes and washes his hands in the kitchen and came back through to dry them on my big fluffy throw because he couldn't see a tea towel Hmm
