Linguaphile, how utterly fabulous that you are trying for another baby. Are twins horrendously difficult to cope with as tiny babies? I always think mums of twins should be, like, Prime Minister or summat My baby daughter is ten months old and we've been TTC for six months, but that's because I am older than Methuselah and so had to get a shift on Grin

FailureToLaunch · 13/01/2015 17:46

How long have you all been TTC, please?

FailureToLaunch · 13/01/2015 17:49

Blimey, Taking Charge Of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler is supposed to be the dog's testiculays.

FailureToLaunch · 13/01/2015 17:50

I, too, am very Envy of 24-day cycles. On Clomid I am only ov-ing on day 17 and then I have a fourteen-day luteal phase

60sname · 13/01/2015 17:52

Coming close to the end of my first cycle TTC (approx 8DPO) and already symptom-spotting like a crazy person... trying hard to talk myself out of attributing every twinge to pregnancy! Dh already thinks I'm mad Grin - need to dial it back for the next few months!

hairStylisttoBoris · 13/01/2015 17:53

failuretolaunch I'm also ancient (relative anyhow) at 36.
We have been actively ttc for 7 cycles over 6 months, before that we had a few months (4ish) of not obsessively trying. It's taken over my life now.

Mumwannabe82 · 13/01/2015 17:58

hi blimey I posted the other day that I bought a book called taking charge of your fertility and having now read most of it, I can honestly say it's the most informative I have read and easy to understand and a little bit of humour thrown in too x
it was 13.60 from amazon but it's a big book that covers everything you need to know xx

CountryGal4 · 13/01/2015 18:00

woodpigeon totally same as you. I think mine is gonna come on Tomor or Thursday and I'm feeling really rubbish, tired a lot, nausea, cramps and brown spotting... Rotten all in all! Yet until my AF comes I seem to have a little voice in the back of mind saying.. Oh maybe...! Insane!!!
At least we will move to feb bus together!! (However I still hope you get your BFP and your feelings are pre BFP and not AF!!)

Hi countrygal. We are cycle buddies this month. I'm due 23rd too. Day 16 and trying desperately not to get too super excited! It's our cycle #1 too.

CountryGal4 · 13/01/2015 18:28

Babs glad I'm not alone. Same here. I veer wildly from suppressed excitement to disappointment as I don't feel different. Which is completely mad as it's way too early!!

mrsstickll · 13/01/2015 19:18

Af arrived, off to the February bus, good luck everyone hope to see none of you there x

MaMaPo · 13/01/2015 19:24

Ditto boris, I'm also 36 and have been ttc since May. Eight months. Had enough now! Extra frustrating as we had the good fortune to conceive on cycle 2 with my daughter. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

lalalemon · 13/01/2015 19:59

I think I am actually going mad!
AF due yesterday and still not appeared, thought I had earlier as felt a gush (sorry tmi!) but it wasn't and I've had a fair amount of white lotiony cm today!
But, still no BFP! Did a Frer this am and a internet cheapie just now, but BFN!

woodpigeon123 · 13/01/2015 20:00

Ahhh, Sparkly123 - I feel just the same.... It's that little tiny voice saying "but, but, but - what if?!!"

Yes, will be a pleasure to join you on Feb bus... Well, not a pleasure as we'd both much rather have a lovely BFP... But you know what I mean!

Blimeygirl · 13/01/2015 20:02

Thanks failure and mumtobe!! Will get looking now! X

FailureToLaunch · 13/01/2015 20:12

Ha! Boris, I'm fottie-free years old Sad

Never mind..here's my chart for anyone who likes watching paint dry and stuff. As you can see we have a red-hot sex life. Just can't get enough of each other.....Hmm

woodpigeon yep I'm totally with you! I am a pms machine today! Cranky, achey .. You name it! Just want it to come so it's all over with and I can accept this month hasn't worked and focus on the next!!! My temperature went up today but only slightly so I assume tomorrow it will drop.sorry you are feeling much the same!! Flowers come on BFPs!!

lalalemon how frustrating! Sounds promising though?! Maybe you are a late BFPer! All crossed for you!!!

mrsstickll sorry to hear AF arrived. Onto the next bus for your BFP!! I will most likely see you there!

Hi Failuretolaunch yep, lots of dtd!! Winkthanks for posting your chart! I never really understand mine so it's interesting to look at others! You seem to get a huge temp rise after OV then which I presume is what everyone always talks of, I never seem to get a massive rise. How are you doing?heres my chart

shootthemoon thank you for that info! I'm pretty sure that's what it will have been.

My boobs are so full feeling. I forget that I've felt like this every cycle - using Ovia which has been good for looking back and checking!

MissMrsMummy · 13/01/2015 20:36

Sorry for AF tessie fx for next cycle

Need to start DTD soon... Can we muster up the energy?! At least it's a way to keep warm Wink

No probs re: stats. Kind of enjoyed it so I'm happy to keep doing it for now. Thanks for updates. I will add them and repost in the next couple of days.

lalalemon · 13/01/2015 20:55

Sparkly, I had an early feint positive last cycle but it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy unfortunately :(

I've decided I'm going to wait til Saturday to test again as I'm in work the rest of the weekend anyway! Provided the evil red one hasn't shown her face by then anyway!

Noticing tiny pimples on my boobsBlush which is a huge symptom check for me as I had these the last time I was pregnant. Does anyone else get this?

Although last time I was massively constipated too which I don't have now
