TTC - a relaxed thread.

[lostindubai]

Looking for like-minded mums to be who are taking things as they come and fancy a friendly chat along the way.

I'm 36 and just started ttc my second. My ds is 28 mo and I still bf him once a day, most days. I understand this may affect my fertility but, although a three-ish year age gap would be nice, I'm a long way from worrying about it at this early stage. It took me a year of trying (and a mc) before ds came along so I already know what it's like to wait for good things!

Technically I'm not charting or anything (wouldn't know how) just counting roughly 10 days into my cycle and dtd as much as reasonable (!) around that time.

It might not be the most dynamic way of ttc but it suits me for now

Welcome cakelady....your name is really making me want cake!

Cannot sleep. Had an argument with DH over...well to be honest I'm not even sure....all I know is he is getting on my nerves!

So I'm sat on the net symptom sporting arghhhh!!! Been having this strange bubbling/popping feeling across my pubic bone on and off all day. Wondering if it's ovulation or AF. So Google Google Google is what I've been on for the past two hours...arghhhh someone stop my craziness!!!

Stop Reebok! If you carry on down the Googlebrick road you'll have diagnosed yourself with 68 tropical diseases by 1am!! It never ends well I'm having a good old writhe around in pain as I've just got a second bout of AF just 2 days after the last AF buggered off! The joys of post mirena removal I guess

Haha sorry about the name temptation!! I specialise in baby shower cakes as well!! Step away from the Google!

Relax Reebok! Googling will make you crazy! You'll have convinced yourself that you've got every sign of being pregnant! Have a hot chocolate or something nice instead ooo baby shower cakes! Yum!

Ahh DrGee I hope you feel better soon and the pain goes away.

No reebok don't do it! give up the Google! It never ends well I was really ill last week and I'm currently waiting for blood test results and over the last week I have managed to seriously convince myself I had endo,ovarian cancer etc it always ends the same way..Google pretends to be your friend..but it's not..it's really not.

DrGee Sorry to hear AF has made a second appearance (who invited her a second time anyway..rude!) hope your pain goes away soon

Haha! Thanks for the support ladies. I ended up going to bed! !

Hi all, hope you're all ok. Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Congrats Dubai and hi to everyone else! Been a bit awol as it was my birthday this week and been off work.

Now to catch up on the thread properly ????

Hey everyone hope everyone is doing well

Ive been busy today so sorry haven't been on much. Got my blood results back all clear nothing wrong at all even my iron levels are normal ( they were too low last time I had a blood test) so I'm feeling pretty relieved and a bit silly as I had convinced myself I was seriously ill..thanks google

Hope everybody has a fab weekend

Ah great news darkpandora !

Ok guys I need help I have serious temptation there are red velvet cream cheese frosted cupcakes downstairs I'm on CD 14 of a 34 day cycle is it safe to eat?

Also hello everyone hope you are all ok we got any people due to test yet?

Am sure red velvet cup cake cheesecake will be fine

Going to test tomorrow as AF is late....nervous

Hi Ladies, do you mind if i join you? I am on cycle day35/36 and think i may be pregnant....finally. Please peak at my test images and tell me what YOU think. From bottom to top it goes: FMU, 2nd morning pee, and third. Which by the way i never pee 3 times a morning!!

I can deffo see lines looks like you are to me congratulations!! Wishing you a very happy and healthy nine months

Ooh best of luck Apple FX for you

congratulations looks like a BFP Lunasmom another graduate on the thread !!

Lunasmom I think it's really rare to get a false positive isn't it? So I would say there must be some special hormones present to trigger those lines! Wait a couple of days - test again - but I think a congrats is in order by the looks of things!! :)

Thank you Pandora, Apple, and DrGee! I suppose it is very rare but i am just in disbelief!! i had a negative blood and urine test 10 days ago.....I`m so SHOCKED!! but scared to admit that Im ABSOLUTELY thrilled just yet

Great news about blood tests pandora. The cheese cake is fine to eat. Enjoy!!!

Congrats lunas! Looks like a positive to me!

Apple, good luck for tomorrow.

Feel awful. So constipated!!! Sorry for tmi!! If AF is on its way it really is taking the mick right now as its making me feel so crappy!!

congratulations lunasmum! I hope everything goes well for you! sounds like a BFP may be around the corner for you applecatcher! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I'm on holiday at the mo so I'm sneaking on occasionally to check in with you all haha! yum red velvet cake! i would have thought it would be ok

Thanks again everyone! Please know that I did receive a negative blood test on July 29th, so I'm just still trying to comprehend these faint positives.

lunasmom it may have just been a case of there wasn't enough HCG to get a reading at that time please don't worry

Congrats lunasmum and good luck applecatcher!! Apparently constipation is an early sign of pregnancy Reebok? Here's to lots more BFPs in the next few weeks !! I've spent the day at a wedding and being miserable at turning down free wine lol!

cake don't think it is in my case...it's either being caused by ovulation or the prenatals I'm on. Doubt I will get a BFP for a while yet!

Reebok I think I'm getting overally sensitive on symptom spotting!!! Really shouldn't have read that Facebook article on early signs!!!
