Ladies!! I have had a little break and am raring to go this cycle. This is cycle number 4 for us, and I am currently on CD8, so just coming up to the "fertile phase" and plan on plenty of sex not BDing!!

I looked for a January thread, but couldn't find one?? I don't think I am the only one hoping for my BFP in Jan am I ???

Fingers crossed for everyone!!

lol, ive got 3 clearblue digital and 4 cheap ebay tests and im having to go straight to loo when i wake up so im not tempted

honeyapple · 14/01/2007 20:19

Well good luck to you for the 21st.
I will let you know if i succumb to doing a test before AF due... fairly likely seeing as the ones off ebay were SO cheap.

ammylovesbabies · 14/01/2007 22:10

MrsMc- I'm glad that boosted DH! Just wish we had your stamina! Am sat here now giving DP the eye and all I'm getting in return is him picking his nose and yawning. nice. Would be nice to have your sex life!

lissielou · 14/01/2007 22:14

pmsl, no really, i nearly did.

ammylovesbabies · 14/01/2007 22:18

Its only our 2nd cycle of trying and the spark has gone!! DP is worried though cos its our wedding in december (money, my dress etc.) and the stress isn't good for his perky.

lissielou · 14/01/2007 22:27

lol, at times ive forgotten what its like to make love without the possibility of an end product.

ammylovesbabies · 14/01/2007 22:33

lissielou · 14/01/2007 22:37

no, was ttc for 6y then when we'd seen the social worker re adoption got a bfp. 9m later and out popped ds.
yours?

ammylovesbabies · 14/01/2007 22:40

Have a little girl but not with DP. Really want a baby with him. Am only 25 so really hope it will happen but get very scared that it won't. Think he feels the pressure sometimes.

I call it 'baby hunger', he calls it mentalism!

ammylovesbabies · 14/01/2007 22:41

Oh by the way-snap! that happened to my friend. As soon as the adoption ok came through. BFP. Wierd!

lissielou · 14/01/2007 22:43

before i got pg with ds a girl from work (who had 3lo's in 3y) bought in her new dd, and i cried in the rstaurant. i dont think men understand how fierce the need for lo's is

NattyThomasandBump · 14/01/2007 22:48

aw congrats. soooo happy. need a special prayer hun x

PinkElephant · 15/01/2007 09:14

MrsMcJr - thank you so much for the sympathy and hopefully story about your friend . Last week the thought of TTC again filled me with absolute fear. This week I'm more optomistic but still a bit scared ....so I'm sure by the time April arrives I will be so ready, emotionally and physically to deal with whatever is thrown my way. I do have this little dream where we're sat with our little DS/DD's and we'll look back in 5 years time and say "hey - why did we worry" and I'm clinging onto that right now, but there is always the element of doubt. I always thought TTC was the hardest part of having a baby (excluding labour!!) I never realised there was so much more after you find out you're pregnant. I often wonder if I'd be less panic stricken if I was a bit younger too, I'm cruising towards 35yrs now and just feel I don't have enough time for things to start going wrong . Fingers crossed it doesn't take another 8mths to conceive again ....and everything crossed for things to go right next time. Loads of luck between now and your GP appointment, I really hope this is your lucky month It all sounds so familiar for us as I made an appoint for my GP this month to discuss why we weren't conceiving and then I found out we were pregnant!! Maybe I should book one now for April!!!

goingfor3 · 15/01/2007 11:20

Hello all,

I'm on CD24 today. I keep going between feeling I am prgnant and I'm not. This is really depressing me as today I can't feel any signs aprt from sore boobs. I really feel so much for you who have been trying for months.

greedyforbabies · 15/01/2007 14:39

been away for a few days at my parents with no internet access! i missed you lot! haven't got a chance to catch up now either cos it will take so long.....i want to read EVERYTHING and chart spot and see if anyone missed me! (I am very insecure!), BUT my ds is DEMANDING some attention and desperately wants me to play dinosaurs with him....i dont mind really...he said i can even be the T-REX if i play with him and that is an honour cos i normally only get to be a stegosaurous!
ANYWAY! HELLO ALL! i will try and catch up later!
By the way....i finally ov'd on day 34! how shit is that when my dh went away on day 30 so the last BD we had was on day 29. and we had made such a good effort from day 18 to 29 too. i am MORE than upset with my dh for not being here at the right time, i can tell you!

Woodmouse · 15/01/2007 15:03

hello all,

i am new to the discussion board, so hope you don't mind me coming in. I know how you feel greedyforbabies - I am upset at my DH for not being around at the crucial time. We've been TTC #1 for a couple of months and nothing yet. It's early days I know, but DH works abroad Monday to Friday and sometimes over weekends unexpectedly, so I'm scared it's going to be really difficult when I've ov'd and he's 1000 miles away. Doesn't help I am irregular. Also, am panicking because my lovely SIL found out she has ovarian failure and cannot conceive without donor egg. Feel so sad for her

Ready · 15/01/2007 15:33

Greedy - I missed you

Eaglebird · 15/01/2007 16:05

Wasn't sure if AF is due today or tomorrow as cycle is sometimes 27 days & sometimes 28 days.
Anyway, did a test & got a BFN .
Boobs not as sore as before, and tummy feels bloated, so looks like AF is on her way soon, yuk.
My 1st pregnancy ended in m/c in October, so I'm yearning to be pg again. Had a chat with my GP after the m/c and she said that 1 positive thing to come out of it was the knowledge that I was able to get pregnant, which bodes well for future attempts.
Hope February is my lucky month. I'm going to join the February thread now.
Good luck to everyone else waiting for a BFP.

FurryFox · 15/01/2007 16:11

Welcome Woodmouse. Sorry to hear about your SIL, must be a difficult time for her

This is our first month of ttc alredy have one dd 17 months. AF due around wednesday and pretty sure I can feel her on her way, not too disappointed though as only first month and it just means another fun month next month

Hope you find lots of support from MN, I have learnt so much from other brilliant ladies the last few months and am now far too addicted

Hoping you don't have to wait too long to get a BFP

honeyapple · 15/01/2007 17:33

Goingfor3- I feel exactly like you. I was feeling quite optimistic (sp?)- sore boobs, odd sensations, peeing alot etc... but now as AF due date comes nearer, the less optimistic I am feeling. I am going to be devastated if AF comes this month- after so much BD effort.
Have you tested at all?

goingfor3 · 15/01/2007 17:53

I have tested and had BFN's, have you? It's reassuring someone else feels the same way! AF is due on friday and it really is driving me so insane, I wish I could just sleep for the next few days!

honeyapple · 15/01/2007 19:58

Why do we do it to ourselves?- (testing way too early and getting a BFN!) I'm sure I will test soon! Even though I wouldnt really expect a BFP...but you never know...
Just gonna have to wait...grrrrr

MrsMcJnr · 15/01/2007 20:50

Hey everyone, CD18, 1dpo and oh how the next 10-12 days will drag !!

Hello Honeyapple do you think our men met is a secret chat room and decided to really make a go of it this cycle? I know exactly how you feel about all you?ve said and I am really pleased for you, TTC can be so hard and it has been such a relief to have an easy cycle ? you know what I mean! Everything crossed for 20/1. I have to wait until 26/1 to find out ? the day I go away on a great friend?s hen for the weekend .

Lissielou ? fingers crossed for 21st! How are you feeling about this cycle? That?s sweet what you said about your DH, I know how you feel, I just want a mini Mc, any flavour will do.

Are you not impressed that I still have the CB digital that I bought when we started TTC? LOL it has become this sacred thing that I can only use when I am sure must buy some more cheapies but I?ll wait until Due Day ? they only take a day from Access Diagnostics so I won?t have to wait too long ? let?s hope I get to wait and wonder this cycle!!

Ammy ? last cycle, I bought him some ?literature? from the local garage and most of the BDs have been when I get home from work and he?s got in before me and spent some time on the internet!! That failing, an episode of Nip/Tuck can often do the trick too. Turns out I am not as alluring as I thought!! We got married in June so I know all about wedding stress ? my sex drive ran for the hills for about a year!

Natty thank you for praying for me hon. DH and I visited the church we married in when we were away over NY, I prayed in there extra hard, as it?s a special place for us, maybe we?ll get a special dispensation! Lovely news that you are expecting a girl, can you share names?! you?ll have the perfect little family! Keep me posted on how you are getting on.

Pinkelephant ? in a funny way, maybe your mind and thoughts are following how your body feels, by April, I?m sure you?ll have found the strength to start trying again and you just never know, it might happen really quickly. I hope so. Hold that dream, I have read so much in so many places about the visualization being so important, I force myself to think about the reality of having a child every day just in case my brain is having doubts about me being able to cope. I do know what you mean about doubts though and the age thing, but we can?t do anything about that so I try to forget it and tell myself that I have many, many years and not to worry. Thanks you for your wishes for me and hope you?re going to stick around.

Goingfor3 ? it?s such a rollercoaster isn?t it? ? tomorrow you might feel pregnant again, here?s hoping. When are you testing?

Hello Greedy I missed you ? what more do you need?! What I?d give to play dinosaurs!! Yippee, congratulations on the OV, you just never know, there may have been some Rambo types having on in there even 5 days later. Fingers crossed. It?s not unheard of, 6 days is still possible. Will diamond apologies be forthcoming from your DH?

Welcome Woodhouse sweet name. Time apart can make things really tricky hope it doesn?t take you too long. Really sorry to hear about your SIL, that is really sad and awful for her but don?t panic, to be in that position cannot be too common, I hope, what do I know though! Tell us a bit more about yourself.

Eaglebird ? you can?t go yet! It?s not over till she pitches up, come back, you might still get lucky!

Furryfox ? hope AF stays away and you can have intimacy just for fun after that!

Don?t let the ClearBlue fairy hear your talk of testing early!!! (are you lurking Ready!? )

FurryFox · 15/01/2007 21:27

I tested yesterday morning , know I shouldn't have but couldn't resist. Was completly pointless as it was obviously a BFN. Af due around Wednesday-ish but already have awful af pains so pretty sure she's on her way. As its first month of ttc only a teeny bit disappointed and just want February to roll on now.

DH slightly disappointed but also very excited about next month as well now . Also going away for the weekend in a couple of weeks just the two of us so have that to look forward too

Hope the time doesn't drag too much for those of you still waiting for your BFP's. Thinking of you all
