Mumof1sofar · 06/04/2015 15:01

Thanks Night I will Smile We can be temping buddies!

MistletoeBUTNOwine · 06/04/2015 16:46

Haven't checked in for a while, just thought I'd share my stupid deed Blush

Only on CD 26 (af due in 5 days) and I poas... Bfn obviously Sad

Anyone also done this and then gone on to get a bfp at the CORRECT time?
Been getting backache and pmt moodiness (may also be because I've stopped smoking!)

Hate the 2ww

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 17:19

Sorry AF arrived aux and purple Flowers

Good luck with the IVF lucie. So exciting. Hope everything goes well for you. My sil's friend has just given birth to her IVF miracle. She tried for about 8 years and had one mc.

Mumof1 I would carry on dtd as this could be the month.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 17:36

Mistletoe sorry can't help with your question but I'm a late tester 2 weeks late. Hang in there, you may have tested too early.

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 18:05

night sounds like a plan lovely! Although Christmas babies are still possibilities!!! StarStar

mumof1 I would go with Fertility Friend.. It's always worked well for me!

mistletoe I got a BFP in Jan and had BFN at 10dpo, then by 11dpo there was a hint of a line on an IC and a BFP on frer by 12dpo! So it def can happen, keep positive! Flowers

nightandthelight · 06/04/2015 18:30

Indeed they are Sparkly am not giving up hope don't worry! Not long for us now :)

Woolly84 · 06/04/2015 18:33

Go niknac now you can bold away to your heart's content! Grin

mistletoe I hope that BFN turns into a BFP! I've no BFP experiences to share I'm afraid!!

I'm knackered after doing a lot of gardening! Now to NOT think about returning to work tomorrow....Hmm

laurasdream · 06/04/2015 19:29

Hi ladies,

I went to the beach with my DH & DS...there were buggies & babies everywhere & my poor DS said to me mum you told me I would have a baby brother or sister before I was 12. Sad I told him I know, but mum has to see the doctor first to get medicine to help me make a baby...he left out a big sigh. Poor dude I feel so sorry for him.

Welcome Nicnak Smile

MistletoeBUTNOwine sorry you got a BFN, but you probably just tested too early! Hang in there.

Mumof1 Keep dtd, but remember to have fun! We found it tedious when you we were just trying & trying. My DH & I dtd every 3 days before ovulation..i.e. cd 11, 14, 17, 20, 21 this month so far Grin! After ovulation we just dtd whenever we want! Smile

laurasdream · 06/04/2015 19:30

Typo *when we were

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 19:36

Oh laura that must have been hard for both of you. However, it will happen and you will get your bfp. I would never have thought it would be so hard to conceive until I started trying but we have to keep going Flowers

laurasdream · 06/04/2015 21:24

Thanks DizzyM Flowers It did make me feel sad. Your are right we will conceive. Deep in my heart I know I will conceive, it is just taking a lot longer than I thought it would! Looks like this week I will be letterbox watching as well as knickers watching! Fx I get an appointment in the post soon!

The weather was beautiful today! There was a feeling that Summer was well & truly on it's way...I hope everyone else is good x

laurasdream · 06/04/2015 21:24

You are typo...typing too fast as usual!

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 21:29

I'll be knicker watching too as AF is due on the 10th. Hope your appointment letter comes through quickly but hopefully you won't need it as you'll get your bfp.

laurasdream · 06/04/2015 21:42

Thanks DizzyM Fx AF stays away! 4 more days eek! Oh I hate waiting & not knowing, but one of these days the wait will be worth it! Grin I am 2dpo today, so AF/BFP isn't due for another week or so all depending on my lp.

Mumof1sofar · 06/04/2015 22:18

Sorry it's taking longer than you hoped, Laura. This ttc is a tedious business & especially if you have long or unpredictable cycles Confused I hope we all get our bfps asap! There is a baby for each of us out there just waiting to be created & born SmileSmileSmile

Thanks, I will download fertility friend & next cycle will start it. Will keep dtd this cycle but tbh I've really lost the motivation- feel like this month is a bit of a write off for ttc Hmm

Best of luck to anyone testing in the morning Smile

DizzyMerry · 06/04/2015 22:41

That is a lovely thing to say mum and it's so very true. We have to keep believing that each time we feel down, even though it is hard dealing with disappointment each month. We will all get there.

Sparkly123 · 06/04/2015 23:53

Yes night not long at all. Are we preggers?!! Easter Confused

Woolly bet your garden looks amazing though and it's worth all the pain! Mine needs a good lot of tlc ASAP!!

lauras oh I bet you had a lump in your throat right then! Good response!! It's draining lovely, the constant trying and rollercoaster every month. But yes like you say, you will absolutely get your baby. And every cycle you are another one closer. It's just a matter of time Flowers

coffeenut · 07/04/2015 05:06

It's getting harder to catch up! Smile

jemima I hope AF didn’t arrive.

night hopefully woolly is right and your LP is fine. Definitely recommend FF and temping – fingers crossed that the bbt and ov sticks you ordered are completely wasted as you have your bfp in a few days time anyway! I hope you get your bfps too sparkly and merry! Looking forward to testing time for you ladies and everyone else coming up!!

dizzy your blowjobs comment made me giggle. He’d better reciprocate if you’re doing all that work to clean the pipes early on!

purple sorry AF arrived lovely. I'm not sure about extra folic acid - I might do some googling to make sure I'm not taking too much either with all my vit pill popping.

laura I hope you get your appointment soon. What a long time to wait! And sorry your DS feels like that, it must be so hard for everyone. We will get there Flowers

aux sorry that you are out this cycle Sad Chocs and Wine and Cake for you. I breastfed both my DCs for over a year and I understand you often can't just stop/start whatever. I wonder if it does interfere with LP - did the GP say?

mumof1 I use fertility friend too – very easy to use – hoping you wont need it though!

mistletoe What sort of hpt did you use and what dpo are you? Unless it was a sensitive one, then you could definitely still be in with a chance. I have very similar stats to you - I’m also 34 and trying to conceive no. 3, and all I can say is I tested stupidly early pretty much every cycle we’ve been trying (cycle 4 now) and unfortch haven’t yet got my bfp yet – but we’ll get there - hopefully this cycle for you!

Mumof1sofar · 07/04/2015 06:38

Omg I don't believe it... After 9 days of flashing smileys I got my fixed smiley this morning!!! GrinGrinGrin

auxiliaryauroch · 07/04/2015 07:24

Thanks coffee. It's a tough call, yes. Good work on feeding them both that long. My dc is now 12 months but I had hoped to carry on indefinitely. It does interfere I'm sure, but AF has been back for a while after I deliberately cut down from on demand to bring her back and I now only do one sometimes two a day. I would have hoped it doesn't mess the lp/late ov up like that. Sad I'm starting soy tonight or tomorrow in the hope it will bring ov forward from around cd25.Easter Confused

Thanks everyone else! Flowers

auxiliaryauroch · 07/04/2015 07:29

laura thanks! 6 day lp this month. No chance like ever for something to happen. Boo. Any doctor worth their salt will tell me to drop that last feed and stop completely And then cycles will normalise. Aaa-aaargh! I'm trying but the morning feed is tough going as it gives us an extra hour of sleep. Easter Envy of all those people who just fall pregnant while still bf full time without caring. Will see gp next month like you suggest if soy doesn't fix it this month!

coffeenut · 07/04/2015 07:45

Will he/she take bottles at all aux? Could you have a bottle ready for that first feed, if so (or better yet get DH to get a bottle ready for first feed?). I was pretty dependent on dummies/pacifiers to help weaning as mine didnt take bottles and used the boob to soothe otherwise. I also know a few who have conceived while still breastfeeding but stopped soon after as it was bloody tiring!
