Yes, we know all about how emotional and hard it can be! All the pros and cons, all about missing Aunty Flo's and wtf cycles with no ovulation, all about children being cute and pointy. No matter if you are five months or twenty months down the breastfeeding timeline, if you're ttc again, this is the thread to join! Welcome! Smile

Fx for you, Eggs x

Trinpy · 29/05/2015 23:36

Hope it's good news for you eggs.

And sorry for completely confusing ypu with my inability to do simple maths when working out lp earlier pear Blush.

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 07:08

Fx eggs Smile Can't believe you haven't told DH yet!! I don't think I could keep it a secret Shock

Thanks for all the support ladies Thanks June just has to be my month!!!

I've just worked out that the one night I've planned to go out in June is ovulation day grrrr! I mustn't worry though as we all know how these things change. It does mean my mum could be potentially staying over that week Blush

Mumof1sofar · 30/05/2015 08:03

Haha pear - we had to dtd last month under the same roof as the in laws BlushBlush

Cd14 today & a flashing smiley SmileSmile Better get dtd!

eggsnbeans · 30/05/2015 10:01

Haha Mumo, done that one too while the kids were sleeping at in laws Blush the things we do!

Gotta be your month this month Pear!

Extensive mn searching has concluded I had late implantation then incomplete mc, so still some material left secreting hcg, but only low levels, hence the no symptoms. Should expect evil AF in a couple of weeks Angry Why does it gave to be the sodding weekend and I can't get to gp! Sad

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 13:42

Sorry to hear that, eggs Sad Flowersx

Leamice · 30/05/2015 14:13

Oh eggs, I so hope that's not the case and you have a healthy little bean growing! You just never know, hopefully you can see a GP tomorrow?

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 15:38

Oh eggs Hmm How torturous not knowing! You poor thing. Is there a Epu unit you could call at the hospital? I guess they don't do scans at the weekend. Are you in any discomfort?

Yay Mumo!!! I was just wondering who would have a valentine baby on the thread Wink

Trinpy · 30/05/2015 15:50

I'm still hoping it will be good news for you eggs Thanks

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 19:46

Only 3 feeds today - first thing this morning, elevenses Hmm and right before bed. Now DD's fast asleep and I'm done for the day! Yay! Only given out one prize today too! Shock Considering we've been at home all day I am utterly amazed... Long may it continue, and we will be down to just one feed, the one right before bed, very, very soon Wink Grin

Onecurrantbun · 30/05/2015 20:12

Well done Ava that is super especially as you say you were home. Hope dd doesn't want to make up for lost time overnight!

Mumo woo hoo for ov / imminent ov. Cd14 is fab

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 20:51

Thanks OneCurrant, despite her cough she's been really good sleeping through the last couple of nights too so fx Wink x

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 21:53

Ah well done Ava Smile One step forward!!

Mumofone - has CB sent you more sticks?

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 22:07

Thanks Pear! I'm especially proud of us for managing to still do this even though DD is poorly, as that's usually when DD wants to feed around the clock and I cave because I feel so sorry for her. Wondering if this positive change will be reflected in my temps this month, I really hope so Smile

Jumping on the EDD wagon, if by some miracle we conceived this cycle, and babba is 2 weeks early, like DD was, I could still have DC#2 at 35, as 'planned'..... Fx fx fx Wink

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 22:11

Ava - that's the spirit Wink What cd are you now?

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 22:13

Ooooo I read that as "jumping on the eod wagon" and thought she's really going for it early...go girl GrinGrinGrin

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 22:31

Nooooo! EOD is tiring enough during my fertile window haha Grin

CD4 for me, predicting I'll ov on CD15 ish - when are you expecting to ov, Pear?

Mumof1sofar · 30/05/2015 22:59

Sorry not had time to read back but quick dilemma - we dtd this afternoon while dc was napping. I have just gone to the toilet & have proper stretchy cm - should we dtd again now or is that madness??Blush

Mumof1sofar · 30/05/2015 23:01

Pear yes they sent me more sticks but not the dual ones, just normal.

Mumof1sofar · 30/05/2015 23:05

So sorry for the tmi but following on from the cm post... Could that have been sperm instead of cm??

I think all this ttc has actually sent me a bit potty- I am definitely over analysing!BlushBlush

AvaAmulet · 30/05/2015 23:24

Mumo, I don't think sperm stretches? I think you'll be okay having done it once today already - the EWCM would still have been around, just inside, iykwim?! Good sign, though! Good luck Wink x

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 23:32

Mumo - oooo sorry I just have to laugh Grin Ahh I love how crazy some of our posts sound sometimes GrinGrin Anyway, I've had this happen to me and I decided it was sperm. I think once will be enough. Wtf? They sent you normal sticks? Well that's pretty stupid!! What's the point in showing you the dual hormone ones and then saying here's the old ones??? Great!

peardrop2 · 30/05/2015 23:42

Ava - I'm on Cd1 so basically you're 3 days ahead of me and I'm also expecting to OV cd15 ish Wink Hopefully cd14 this month! I'm actually toying with the idea of cancelling on my friend who I will be seeing on cd14. I've made plans to see her in July twice so it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't see her in June. Not great though as I'm trying rebuild the relationship that seems to have vanished since my ds was born Hmm It's impossible to plan around TTC! I never get it right Confused

Trinpy · 31/05/2015 06:54

Mumof if it's cloudy then it's probably not cm!

Mumof1sofar · 31/05/2015 08:45

Haha thanks ladies! BlushBlushBlush On reflection I think it was probably sorry. Was just so surprised to see it at 11pm after dtd about 1pm!

Another flashing smiley today so will dtd again.
