Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Valencia was GORGE thank you fellow TTC'ers! In a foul mood now though at the thought of going back to work tomorrow, and without the distraction of being away I'm back obsessing that there's something wrong with either me or dh and that we can't fall pregnant!

Sorry to hear you think you're out Brooke. Agreed, you're not til your AF shows up properly!

Issie339 · 19/04/2015 17:38

Brooke Flowers are you sure you're not me?? I'm feeling exactly the same, AF not here yet either so feels like so long until next months' chance. OH doesn't understand why I'm so down and stressed about it. Hand holding with you hun Flowers

Looking, Valencia sounds amazing, hope work isn't too hideous tomorrow

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 17:58

Issie I think that's what it is, Af is taking her time and it feels like ages until we can ttc again, I've already been working out when I should start using ov sticks again...

AF is definitely coming as I had more spotting again earlier :(

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 18:04

Forgot to ask, do any of you girls temp? What do you have to do.and is it worth doing it if using clear blue ov sticks as they're pretty clear, no squinting to see a line.

Issie339 · 19/04/2015 18:08

AF isn't due to start until 22/23 for me so it's about 3 weeks until I'll be ov again. After AF it's so much easier to feel positive again because it's only a few days until you are in the dtd marathon and then tww. This is the worst time of the month for me so need loads of chat and good news to help me stay positive please ladies!! Smile

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 19/04/2015 18:16

Brooke I'm not temping. It's only our first cycle of trying though, so if we don't get a BFP in the next few cycles, I might get a thermometer at that point.

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 18:16

I completely agree with you Issie. I just want it to hurry up so I can start counting the days down until the dtd marathon lol

nickynackynoo31 · 19/04/2015 19:01

Thanks for all the ladies feeling crap....hugs to you all...

my AF I'd due Friday and im trying to hold out to test but not sure how long.for lol.....

oh has pointed out that over the past few days I am constantly sitting with my hands on my stomach....which I had no idea I was doing so god knows if mother in law has picked up on same as been with her all weekend!!! Confused Confused

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 19:03

Aww nicky maybe it's instinct :) fingers crossed for you.

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 19/04/2015 19:09

nicky fingers crossed for you! Hopefully mother in law is oblivious to that behavour!

I sometimes find myself looking side-on at the mirror when I'm bloated! Blush

sparklesandfizz · 19/04/2015 19:45

Oh Nicky lol - it'll all come back! How big are your dc's and what variety? Am loving it third time round, bigguns at school and getting lots of time with LO in fact it's like having my first but with none of the hang ups!

VioletIbiza88 · 19/04/2015 19:51

I'm actually glad I'm going back to work tomorrow, as it will give me a break from thinking about tww all the time!!! Realised I'm only DPO 3 or 4 today! So the wait seems absolutely ages!! If my luteal phase is 14 days then my cycle will be 34 or 35 days, which seems an impossibly long time, if that's how they are going to stay!!

Nicky I'm getting really good vibes about you!! Fx'd!!! I did just have some stomach pains, but im sure its probably just hunger lol!

Issie, Brooke sorry your feeling so crappy. I hope either your both wrong or your AFs show up soon so you can move on to next month.

I got some clear blue tests ordered but now thinking I should have got superdrug own or frer, as a lot of people are saying clear blue arn't as sensitive, does anyone know of any comparison list on the internet that says what level of hcg different tests pick up?? Now really not sure about testing early, but don't know if I have the willpower to wait.

Have you decided when your testing Nicky? We were going to be due to test at the same time, do you remember, then I had my really late ov!!!! I'm so behind now lol!!!

StrawberryPav42 · 19/04/2015 21:03

Would it be ok to join this thread? New to Mumsnet, TTC No 1 and could do with some handholding. Cycle 5, in the 2ww DPO3 - eek!

sparklesandfizz · 19/04/2015 21:20

Hey there stawberry! They're a reet friendly lot on here - joined myself last week and find it a great distraction.

Had a lovely day with some old old friends who popped up unexpectedly.
No sx to speak of but boobs feeling full and sore.... Not sure means much as BF muchly!

Figure am 10dpo (or possibly 7dpo) and planning to test fri/sat if I can wait that long.

Violet hope work proves a welcome distraction!

I've only gone and missed bloody poldark haven't i? He's very lovely and rather a distraction himself....

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 21:25

Hi strawberry, welcome :) hope you get your bfp very soon.

Not long until you can test them sparkles, exciting :)

VioletIbiza88 · 19/04/2015 21:32

Hi Strawberry welcome! I'm also ttc #1 and DPO3 or 4 (im not quite sure). Are you going to be an early tester or a wait and see'er? When do you think AF is due?

Thanks Sparkles, I'm sure it will

Issie339 · 19/04/2015 21:34

Welcome Strawberry, fx this is your month, we're still waiting on our first bfp on this thread so I'm optimistic for all of you still to test!

Watching Poldark, defo a nice distraction Wink

I've just spent £60 on Amazon on all kinds of stuff to help make May my month- OPKs, vitamins etc.

StrawberryPav42 · 19/04/2015 21:50

Thanks for the welcome all you lovely ladies!

Violet have got a few tests in stock so I'm going to be an earlier tester (would so like to be a wait and see-er but based on previous months the need to know is a dominant beast!). Using the Clear Blue Fertility monitor, AF should be due around the 30th. Think I must find out about this Poldark chap to distract!!

Issie fx for May for you, positive thoughts x

nickynackynoo31 · 19/04/2015 22:07

strawberry....welcome hun...I hope your not waiting too long for your BFP! !!!

nickynackynoo31 · 19/04/2015 22:11

wow...issie339 you should be more than ready for may month now...fx..

I'm not sure if everything is just in my head and it's all wishful thinking to be honest....

according to phone app AF is due Friday but ov was couple if days later than said so I'm not sure...I'm hoping to wait until at least wed before testing tho...
if I can as im desperate to know already!!!

nickynackynoo31 · 19/04/2015 22:13

violet...I woke up with cramps again this morning...stronger than yesterday but then they eased and had nothing rest of day. x

nickynackynoo31 · 19/04/2015 22:45

sparkles...I have 2 boys one who is 12 and one who's 4. youngest starts school full time in Sept so looking forward to having a little one around again Smile Smile

I know I'd be happy with boy or girl but I am hoping for a girl Confused ...does that make me selfish???
(sorry for the million separate posts...I'm struggling to remember what everyone has said and reply in same message lol)

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 20/04/2015 06:05

Welcome Strawberry!

I keep hearing good things about Poldark. May get roung to watching it at some point.

DH had just got me started with Prison Break. Never watched it before. Shame on me! I haven't even seen one episode of Breaking Bad Blush

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 20/04/2015 07:14

Roung? Brain fail, too early in the day for correct spellings! Blush

nickynackynoo31 · 20/04/2015 07:53

Maybe. ...who is this poldark? ???
I too haven't seen breaking bad or prison break Confused Confused
