ttc - February 07.... the trying game....

[beansprout]

Am going to sit on this thread and feel sorry for myself for a bit!! If anyone else wants to talk to me, please feel free!

do you a deal, we'll both re-test on mon morning 1st wee of the day

ok cool - my folks are down tomorrow anyhow and don't want to know and have to sit on it all day! he he

its a date

Hope everyone is ok?? Having a good weekend... and hope no one is tempted to test early The ClearBlueFairy is watching

well that's me out the window then ready! lol.

Hi- why are you girls on the feb thread- if you are planning on testing this month??
I need pals on the jan thread... I'm due AF in a week...

thats a good point!!! Why is everyone on here??

Can i join, haven't posted much, just spent my nights reading through the threads.

Got AF on Thursday, was gutted i had convinced myself that i pg even felt sick and tired. I know "all in my head" but was still upset when Af arrived.

This my 2nd cycle of ttc so fingers crossed third time lucky. I'm still trying to work out my cycle cause its been different both months so decided to bd as much as possible so there is no way i miss ovulation.

I suppose this ttc is actually good fun if you look at it like that!!!!

Hi all, just catching up. I was a bit confused reading too as I thought we were all trying in Feb.

if some of you get bfp's next week that will give the rest of us some hope. Good luck.

Went to an Ann Summers party last night, even made a few purchases ready for Febs sex schedule Im going to try to make an effort to make it as nice and spontaneous as possible.

Lissie I hope whatever happens your dh can be supportive. Sometimes men dont know what makes us tick do they. My dh is an absolute sweetheart but really sruggled to say and do the right thing after my 2nd mc.

Hope you are well.

hello everyone, can i join you?

We've been ttc since november but since i only came off depo (it ran out) in october I was not really holding out much hope (while at the same time convincing myself i was pg every other day). HOwever af arrived today which although a right bugger, is good cos I think I am getting into a cycle again, similar to my old one pre dd (31 ish days - not clockwork but not too bad).

So.... I'm another one wanting a bfp for february.

My dd is 3.8, and started school nursery, full time, 10 days ago, so i'm a bit lonely. We had said that once she was at school it would be the pefect time, so all i need is that bfp!!!! Otherwise i'll start to feel a bit silly being at home (although I know it would be impossible to work around school hours, holidays, sick days etc as it is, but wanting that baby makes me feel a bit self conscious about being a sahm with my child at school. I think if we had made the decision to stick with dd I'd feel bit more settled.)

I'm convinced that I'll end up having another baby either never or when dd is 10

THing is dd was a surprise (honeymoon baby ) so the whole ttc thing is a bit alien especially as in my experience you just "discover" you're pregnant without agonising about the am i aren't i thing? lol.

anyhow. enough waffle.

looking forward to getting to know you.

hello alittlebitshy & welcome to the thread .

I have ds who is 16 months and we've been ttc since around August last year, but a bit lazily, then in real earnest from October.

The good thing is that you have a regularish cycle so that makes things a lot easier in terms of knowing when you're ovulating and making sure you have sex around that time. I'm very very regular and fell first time with ds, so i've foolishly had a bit of a shock that it's not happened as easily again. still relatively early days tho!

Hello alittlebitshy!! and Imreadyforababy!! Good luck to you both!!

How's it all going for everyone??

My temps have been all over the place so far this month, not really sure what that means? If anything? I haven't been sleeping too well, so that has probably had an effect. We shall see. CD10 here, already started with the "effort". Fingers crossed this month.

Oh, does anyone know the best OPKs to use?? I always said I wasn't going to go down that road... but just charting my BBT might not be enough

hi all!

im fed up lol

My cycles are all over the shop and its getting me down! Looks like im just waiting for AF this month (CD25 here) so I can get going again!

Novembers cycle was 29 days

Decembers cycle was 23 days(!)

This cycle - who knows!

I have always been a 28 dayer - like clockwork!

Heres to AF arriving soon and lots of bding

Thanks for the info Lottie... I just don't know what to do really. I haven't been trying that long really... but I am getting concerned, which is probably not helping matters!! Maybe I should just keep going as I am, and see what happens over the next couple of months.

That is a LOT of money!! These companies know how to prey on the vulnerable don't they!!

If only things were simple

Lottie, companies like clearblue etc would probably make more money if they priced it more fairly as more people would be able to afford to use them. Grr.

DH and I are 27 and this is our 5th cycle of ttc, and the 4th go at charting my temps and cm. I wanted to chart just to get an idea of my cycle too - just to see if it looked like I was ovulating, then I would concentrate any efforts around that tim... and that plan was working fine until AF arrived 10 days ago and I just lost it.

One minute I was really low, the next really positive and upbeat, then bang, low again etc etc. I didn't think it would get to me as much as it has. I am generally a positive person, and I haven't really changed, I still feel positive... it's just a little voice in the back of mind whispering "look at you all positive and so sure you'll conceive, well I've got news for you Missy!!" Those niggling doubts are surfacing, and I hate it.

Hi girls, I'm joining too. Long term lurker and poster in the 'TTC after Miscarriage' thread so I thought it was about time I did something proactive and joined this one.

AF has finished and I think I am on CD9 today; usually pretty regular on a 26 day cycle but since the M/c in Oct it has been all over the place. This will be the first cycle we are TTC so it should be an interesting weekend

Welcome aboard Gillian, fingers crossed for you!! Enjoy your weekend I know I will.

Enjoy mine that is

Hi.
I'd like to join too. AF is due, and I've just tested & got a BFN, so January definitely wasn't my lucky month.
Bought a digital fertility thermometer and that Toni Weschler book. Going to give charting a go to find out when my fertile time really is, rather than just guessing, and bding at the wrong time. Hopefully it'll make me feel that I'm doing something positive. Also, I'm not a young bird - 38 - so I don't want to waste any time.

Hi Eaglebird - Sorry to hear about your BFN, is AF here yet?? Fingers crossed for you! All the best for February!! Here's hoping!

Hi Ready.
AF not here yet, but feel she will be soon . Feel grumpy, bloated, tired & boobs are not as sore as before.
Was going to go to the gym tonight, but I think I'll have an early bath, put my PJs on, and watch the telly with the biscuit tin for company instead.
And have a big glass of wine

Lissie, munz...you were both testing this AM weren't you? How did you get on??? Don't keep us waiting!! Fingers crossed for you both...

JARM, welcome! Hope your cycles settle down soon. Mine are a bit all over the place atm too.

EagleBird, don't be disheartened, I got a bfn on the day af was due with ds 1 - didn't get my bfp until a week later, and I know many others haven't got their bfp until several days or even weeks after af is due... until dear auntie (grr!) turns up there's always hope.

I'm on cd10 today (cycle buddies Ready! No testing too soon for me! ))

Getting geared up for lots of dancing this week! Got off to a good start last night and hoping dh is feeling energetic when he gets in from work tonight!
