All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Anyone else?

Flashing smiley today so I know what I'm doing at nap time Grin

DianaOstara · 03/05/2015 17:31

CD11 for me. We haven't started dtd as I'm still feeling unwell. According to OPKs for past two months I've ovulated CD19 so I'm not too concerned if we delay for a few days. However I am starting to get first hints of ecwm so don't want to leave it too long either!

mrs hope you had a fruitful 'nap'!

carrot good luck!

mrsmugoo · 03/05/2015 21:55

Got too wrapped up in tidying and laundry in nap time (as per) but managed it this evening...well it is my birthday Wink

mrsmugoo · 03/05/2015 21:59

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in collating all our stats now this thread is quite established?

I'll pull together if you can private message me with:

Your age
How many cycles trying for #2 so far
DC1 age

Have I missed anything?

CharChar2015 · 04/05/2015 03:13

Great idea mrsmugoo

I'm 32 - TTC #2 since December 2014 - currently on cycle #3 after a miscarriage in February at 9 weeks.
DD is 19 months old.

I'm 2dpo and time has officially stood still Hmm

DianaOstara · 04/05/2015 08:20

it never ends does it mrs! Happy birthday to you - what a lovely birthday present a bfp will be!

I'm 32 This is our 4th official 'trying' month (although I did have implant removed in October). Dd has just turned 3.

char sorry about your miscarriage :( good luck with everything this month

Cycle #7
DD 17 months

13dpo today but I have a long luteal phase so AF due on Thurs. Feeling quite negative about this cycle so already looking forward to getting it over with. Have had fertility tests this month and everything is fine which is a relief but is making me even more frustrated that it's not happening.

Oh well, the sun is shining and I got tea in bed this morning so it's not all bad Smile

HopeintheAir · 04/05/2015 09:27

Ah, just looked back on my app and this is cycle #6 which has stupidly made me feel a bit better!

MarysPrayer · 04/05/2015 09:28

Thank Mrsm. My stats:
37, ttc #2 since Jan, bfp on 3rd cycle but had mc at the end of March so this will be cycle 5. Dd is 2 1/2 yrs old.

Torfhinn · 04/05/2015 09:31

Morning all, happy birthday Mrsmugoo!

Hope you feel better in time for DTD Diana Smile

Feeling an unspecified, general roughness for the past few days, the spotting has finally stopped though. Can't help but get my hopes up as feeling vaguely ill and tired was my first symptom last time. Trying to hold off testing as I'm between 2 and 7 days before my period is due. Housework and a walk in the sun with DH and DS is on the cards to distract myself Smile

CD8 today. Time to start splashing pee on sticks very soon.

birdbrain21 · 04/05/2015 20:06

I'm 23 my dd just turned 2 and this cycle #2 although only stopped taking the pill 2 months ago so didn't expect it to happen first month like it did with dd so totally expected it again!
Having said that I don't use the ovualating sticks but I reckon I'm half way through my cycle so time for a few dtd ;)

Happy birthday Mrsmugoo!

I'm 29, not sure how to count cycles as there was a mc in the middle, but it's been almost 10 months since we started Confused DS is 17mo.

I'm 11-13dpo and for the last three days miraculously haven't killed anyone...

Hello! Please can I join too? Just started ttc this month. I'm 30 and DD1 is 6 months. My cycles haven't quite settled down yet so just trying to track what's going on :)

mrsmugoo · 05/05/2015 07:41

Morning all. Cd15 and flashing smiley here which I'm chuffed about as DH is away until tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be solid tomorrow and we can have a well timed shag and get this one in the bag!!

Welcome newbies!

I'll collate the stats today in my lunch break if everyone can send x

HopeintheAir · 05/05/2015 08:17

Congrats on the smiley mrs!

14 dpo here and can't wait for the 2ww to be over!

Have you decided when you're testing Torfhinn?

Torfhinn · 05/05/2015 15:17

Gonna try and hold off testing until Sunday (CD30) Hope. You?

Torfhinn · 05/05/2015 15:18

Had some more spotting so not sure if more of the same or gearing up for AF Hmm

Torfhinn · 05/05/2015 15:19

Actually Sunday is CD 31. Sooo can't concentrate today... another symptom obviously Confused

HopeintheAir · 05/05/2015 17:43

I'm not sure I'm going to get to the testing stage - I think I saw a tiny bit of pink this afternoon so I think it's bad news. I did have to squint so it's possible I'm mistaken but I have a bad feeling. If I do test, it'll be on Friday - cd29.

FX for you!

HopeintheAir · 05/05/2015 17:44

This ttc thing is so bloody hard!

Avasmum8 · 05/05/2015 20:12

Evening ladies :) I'm back from my hols and think I have caught up with all the convo.

Congrats to Tango and Carrotvan on the pregnancies! There are quite a few of us now, fingers crossed for those of you in the 2WW.

I am feeling so anxious, I am only 7 weeks and 5 days but really want a scan to check everything is going okay due to my missed miscarriage at 8 weeks last year. Although, I know they don't do 'reassurance' scans and I can't play as if I don't know much because I'm a midwife myself and know some of the EPAC midwives, I just don't want to get to 12 weeks and have another mmc, I've not had any bleeding or anything, maybe I just need to try to relax a bit more?!
