Hi, I'm new here.

Congratulations on bumps and lots of baby dust to those ttc.

Had mirena coil out on 7th Jan 16, as ttc baby #2. DD is 8 but at 38, nearly 39 i'm worried that we've waited too long to try again. DH and i have been doing BD every 2 or 3 days for the last couple of weeks in preparation for this. Really hoping i fall quickly.

Any advice/experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Wishing you lots of patience hope and a bfp by the weekend.
Sorry for af cockles (hugs).it is such a nightmare i know.hope you feel better soon and gear up for the new cycle.plan on doing anything different ?GL
Welcome jennie,good luck dear,fx it's a short and easy road ttc for you.im on my 7th cycle so kinda feeling depressed with all this.one day i have so much energy,the next im down(but im a good listener)so best of luck to you.

Mimilicious013 · 10/01/2016 07:12

Everyone else is quiet so i trust you all having a great weekend and the witch hasn't visited.i have had so much cake and chocolate this weekend. if it was sme sort of fertility aid i wld surely get a bfp this cycle.

CocklesandMussels · 10/01/2016 09:34

Welcome jennie and good luck. I had mirena out in early 2013, I'd had no periods while on it. Took six weeks for AF to arrive, then got pregnant that cycle. So it is possible!
Mimi thanks for your message. We're carrying on the same plan this cycle as I'm obviously ovulating and managing to produce some fertilised eggs with all those chemical pregnancies! But I think we'll go back and see our fertility doc to discuss clomid or similar for the following cycle. I'm not keen though!

jennielm · 10/01/2016 12:37

Thanks everyone, nice to have people to talk to...love my DH dearly, but don't think he always gets the feelings us women get during this stage.

Can i ask, what does AF stand for? My guess was Aunt Flo, but sure it's not right?

Pulledapart2015 · 10/01/2016 14:54

hi everyone,
Firstly welcome to newbies Flowers
sorry I've not been on here I've been feeling really low as been doing ovulation kits and not getting anything just a faint line which is not getting darker. so it looks like my worst fears might be right im not ovulating. not sure there was any point in DTD's last week Sad if I did miraculously ovulate at the day my plog predicted then im 5dpo and the 2ww is well and truly under way. Let's see what happens this cycle.

Sorry for all those who AF has appeared for already. fx for u all for the next cycle xxx

sending g lot

Pulledapart2015 · 10/01/2016 14:55

oops hit

sending lots of hugs to all xxx

lottegraham · 10/01/2016 16:57

Hi everyone, been feeling down :(
So i have a son who is 2 and got pregnant with him the week i came off the pill. TTC since September 2015 now and still no luck. been late coming on every month since and getting my hopes up, used at least 10 pregnancy test as well (such a waste i know, but i'm inpatient).
At what point do i go to the DRs and say its just not happening?
Late coming on this month too so fingers crossed but at the way im feeling i think ill be coming on soon :(
xx

HoggleHoggle · 10/01/2016 17:56

Hi all! hope you've had good weekends.

Cockles sorry about AF. Totally understand feeling low about it, it's completely shit. Will keep my fingers crossed for next time - I keep telling myself that it's more likely I'll get pg at some point than I won't, and that has been helping.

Mimi I hope you're ok, you're sounding fed up which isn't like you. Hopefully this cycle will be the one, I'm sure it will happen!

Hi jennie, welcome! Yes, AF is Aunt Flo.

Lotte sorry you're finding things tough. I've also been ttc since sept 15 so about to go into cycle 5. I told myself if nothing by the end of cycle 6 I would speak to the doc - but realistically I'm not sure they start taking things seriously until you've been trying for a year. I could be wrong on this though!

Pulled that sounds rubbish - opks did my absolute head in so I stopped it, I never seemed to get a strong line. Is it worth speaking to GP about test to confirm you're ovulating? Or going privately if they're fobbing you off?

I'm CD31 today - still no AF. I have sore boobs but other than that nothing out the ordinary. I will test again tomorrow morn I think.

onemorename · 10/01/2016 21:39

Can I join? Been TTC since mid 2015 trying for our second but nothing. Been getting our hopes up every cycle and then plummeting again. It's horrible that early pregnancy and pms are so similar. Also have the fear as had a miscarriage before our first so double terrified.

Kellz92 · 10/01/2016 23:12

Think AF is on her way, had a bit of spotting today

HoggleHoggle · 11/01/2016 13:22

I tested again this morn and got a BFP! Very happy but also worried to be too happy after last month's CP. Hopefully all will be ok.

Kellz I hope AF stays away...I thought AF was coming a week or so ago and given my BFP it may have just been spotting. Fingers crossed for you.

Hello onemore!

Kellz92 · 11/01/2016 14:07

Congrats Hoggle Super pleased for you!

Nah she arrived lol, not too heavy but shes here....:( next cycle :)

xx

Mimilicious013 · 11/01/2016 14:55

Sorry kellz for af hun.best of luck next cycle.
Welcome one,sorry for your loss and GL ttc.
Im a little tired of dtd tbh and feel really sick thinking of it.if i don't get a bfp this cycle,i just might take a break for a month.im tired !

CocklesandMussels · 11/01/2016 15:11

Congrats Hoggle well done and I hope it's a sticky one for you this time.
I'm sorry Kellz for AF, what a pain. FX for next month.
Welcome One, and good luck!

CocklesandMussels · 11/01/2016 15:12

Ooh I managed bold! That's made my day!

Nuttypops · 11/01/2016 16:19

Hi everyone! Can I sign up please? We have DD, 13 months, and are keen to have another in the next year or so.

Shortybabe · 11/01/2016 17:33

Congratulations hoggle that's fab news!!

Pulledapart2015 · 11/01/2016 17:50

congrats hoggle awesome news Flowers

welcome onemore and nuttypops

sorry about AF kellz total pain but fx for next cycle for u x

it's cycle 10 for us so yeah tired just about covers it. I've had a scan which showed nothing just waiting for gynae appt now in feb. they said the PCOS has disappeared too so am confused why it's not happening. I conceived very easily the first time and I had PCOS then Hmm Just tired of BFN's. if it doesn't happen this cycle then a break might be due like u mimiliscious I'm finding it hard to keep motivated. each months disappointment is getting hard to cope with.

fx for everyone hope the baby dust continues its wonderful work for us all x

HoggleHoggle · 11/01/2016 21:23

Thanks everyone Smile

Pulled that sounds so tough. I hope you get some answers soon - hopefully in the form of a BFP!

Welcome nutty.

Pulledapart2015 · 11/01/2016 22:34

Thanks hoggle ☺

hope everyone is having a peaceful night x

Kellz92 · 11/01/2016 23:29

Pulledapart2015 · 12/01/2016 09:32

morning all,
so I hardly slept last thanks to cramps and headache and have woken with a runny nose! really don't want to get my hopes up but I can't help but symptom spot today 😔

Hope your all having a good morning. I need some Brew xxx

Gx91 · 12/01/2016 11:44

Hey all sorry not been on in a while !

Congratulations hoggle!! So happy for u that's great news u must b over the moon ! GrinFlowers
Welcome newbies hope u get ur BFP soon X
Sorry for all those who's AF appeared , wishing u all the best for next cycle , I know how annoying it gets having to start again but have everything crossed for u guys X
Pulled apart , sorry u had a rough night , hope ur symptoms mean good news it's impossible not to symptom spot when u can't think of anything else !
Mimi how are u and DD ? We r getting bk into the swing of things now OH is back at work , I'm still in super lazy mode X
Also very nervous about waiting for nt scan result , don't know why but think 4 weeks is a long time to find out whether or not there could b a problem with baby , do u think they would call if they found something ? It's driving me mad and googling did nothing but stress me out! X
