Are you sick to the tits of baby-making sex? Or are you squelching with rabid lust when the lickle hand strikes cock o' clock? Have you already picked Sophia and Hugo as your baby names? Do you want to gouge out the smug eyes of the pregnant women in Sainsbo's? Do you shove balloons up your Boden sweater and pretend you have baby in your tum-tum? Have you already picked out your Farrow & Ball nursery paint? GREAT! Then you're just like us: We are the friendliest, wittiest, gayest, animal-lovingest, cervical-hunting women you will ever meet.

Come on, you frightened little trying-to-conceive mice...come join the fun on the Bumsnet bus. You know you wanna Smile

Still trying to get to grips with the lingo so bear with me ...

Stats, 28, ttc 2nd , I have a 10yr DS ( I had him very young, conceived on the pill, didn't know until 22 wks Shock ) ttc since I had the coil removed in January, my cycles have been crazy! I'm following an app to help track my days as I'm just not getting anywhere and i'm a bit useless! I've had ovulating pain from my left side since lunchtime today, DS on a sleepover at friends tonight so currently clock watching from desk till 4 ...

waves excitedly to newbies

runs off back to friggin work

Catch up laterz, love y'all! Grin

ThePug · 15/05/2015 15:35

Welcome boogie Don't worry, CoC is quite a new one Crikey, when you get your BFP this time your pregnancy is probably going to seem ridiculously long compared to last time! Oh and you should definitely be blaming it on the good times!

glittery I am actually feeling very positive and excited to be back at it thank you Smile It is very strange but I really do feel like the mc was 'in the past' and behind me even though it was relatively recent and I'm actually doing very well moving on from it. Ask me again though in a few months if I'm still trying as I'm sure the feelings of unfairness will creep back in then.

nightandthelight · 15/05/2015 15:36

Thanks for all the advice Dizzy :) how do I go about the food diary and excluding foods? Is there a particular way to do it?

autonomousplum · 15/05/2015 15:40

glittery sorry if repeating info. I went up a shoe size. Because your pelvic ligaments relax to help with delivering that baby at some point, it unfortunate means it works similarly on all your ligaments including those keeping all the gazzillion bones in your feet in place. And of course a good five or four months of heavier carrying on your feet then mean they can stretch and not, uhm, unstretch. Grin

autonomousplum · 15/05/2015 15:41

Hallo newbies! I'm almost never around. Now you know. Enjoy the ride!

autonomousplum · 15/05/2015 15:42

Oh night I really hope you can sort out your constipation issues soon. I really feel for you. I had constipation after I had my boobs done and I was in so much pain and discomfort for 4 days....ugh!!! Sad

glitteryflange · 15/05/2015 15:54

Nomio230 · 15/05/2015 16:26

Ooooh, new people! Welcome!

Glittery, DH has his SA on Monday. I am praying he can knock one out ok. The first time he had to do it, he failed under the pressure! Second time, he managed.

Purds, I love the new intro!

Night, I have had lots of stomach problems the last few years. I had a load of tests, which all came back as normal, so the Drs just gave up!

Pug, it is brilliant that you are feeling so positive right now. I hope you get your sticky bean soon.

Melon!!!!!! You is upduffed!

Rice, I am so sorry to hear the news about your dad. It is a terrible situation to be in. I will be thinking of you. X

Anyone have exciting plans for the weekend? We are looking at houses tomorrow & then I am going to the cinema with my sister on Sunday, so pretty chilled.

autonomousplum · 15/05/2015 16:31

Weekend plans:
Attempt to sleep. Attempt to drink still warm tea. Attempt to take shower longer than three minutes. Attempt to superglue fridge back to fridge. Attempt to read beyond page 1 on newspaper. Attempt to not lose my shit. Attempt to attempt it all. Hear me roar!

Nomio230 · 15/05/2015 16:39
nightandthelight · 15/05/2015 16:46

Good luck with house hunt nomio!

Am not entirely sure how to describe my digestive problems. Technically it's not constipation as that is defined as passing stools fewer than three times a week. I tend to go 1-2 times a day. However always very hard and compacted and it always feels as though I an full of it

Nomio230 · 15/05/2015 16:48

It definitely sounds like something is wrong, Night. I think you should ask your Dr for allergy tests.

nightandthelight · 15/05/2015 16:51

That will go down well with my dad nomio, he thinks allergies are all in the head Hmm was a nightmare when my best friend (who had a life threatening nut allergy) came round!

Am convinced a doctor will just send me away with a flea in my ear for wasting their time :(

loopylou1984 · 15/05/2015 16:51

Glittery - if you makes you feel better I got Pepsi in my hair at lunch and now it's all sticky!

So got my AMH score back and it's 19, which they said is normal for my age. I'm a little disappointed as I've heard of peoples being in the 50s, but it only had to be 5.5 so it's good right? Purdie?? Xx
