HI all newcommers .

Think AF is on her way as so tired and just fed up with the whole am i PG or not. Thankfully it's friday. Already opened the wine!!!

Wish DH would come home from work as DD very hard work at the moment. Was up most of the night with her. Not sure how i would actually cope with being PG; especially if i had the morning sickness like i did last time. Anyone else really want another but also really quite frightened??

FurryFox · 23/03/2007 18:47

Hi Lexi. It often worries me as well. With DD I had hypermisis for five months and was in hospital twice, both for a week each time and even when I was at hom I was in bed most of the time. If it happens again I don't know how I'll cope but I know we'll have to and I expect once you're in that situation you just get on with it

DD is 19 months and only started going through the night regularly at around xmas time and still often wakes so I do think OMG how will we cope but I know we will no matter how hard it is.

How old is your DD Lexi?

FurryFox · 23/03/2007 18:49

And sorry you think AF is on her way Lexi, let's hope she's not

insywinsyspider · 23/03/2007 18:51

lexie - i had a thought last night that i'd be loving it right up until the first contraction and then thinking 'what have i done!?!' are you doing test tomorrow?

hello anniemac and skidaddle - hoping (in the nicest possible way) that you're not around too long before the BFP!

furry - how are you feeling today? what cd are you on?

i've got fingers crossed that cycle is shorter this time, nothing on opks or temps to suggest as such yet, cd 15 today... used to think an xmas baby would be rubbish but now find myself thinking about telling dh i was pg by telling him i had xmas present sorted! too much day dreaming!

FurryFox · 23/03/2007 18:54

CD21 for me so it's just the waiting game now. Not holding out much hope though for this month

buttercupbabe · 23/03/2007 20:07

Hi girls. Af arrived in full force
Went to the gp today and she was a real star. I think me breaking down as soon as I sat down helped! She agreed that after I ovulate there isn't enough time for any pregnancy to implant before the corpus luteum deteriorates. So blood tests for me and depending on those a referall to the fertility clinic which has a waiting list of about 6 weeks. So I feel very relieved. I think i'm going to give mn a miss for a while as I feel that I need to relax a bit more and not focus too much on trying to get pg. I just wanted to say thanks for the support during the last few weeks and to wish everyone of you a bfp really soon.

Lexie100 · 25/03/2007 09:12

Oh buttercup babe. Just in case you log on - i'm so so so sorry. Good luck for the future. xx

Lexie100 · 25/03/2007 09:13

Well i have been vomiting most of the weekend. So didn't do PG test, but now i really don't think it'll be a BFP anyway. What a month we have all had.

jhyesmum · 25/03/2007 10:51

Hi Girls! I am about, I just haven't been able to get on. Very hectic at the mo!

Sorry about things Butter, I hope you won't be away for long.

Thanks Furry for the hugs - greatly recieved!

Welcome all newbies! You're sooooooo welcome.

insywinsyspider · 25/03/2007 15:33

buttercup - sorry to hear you're leaving us but it sounds like the right decision - hope that referal comes through quickly for you, i know i found the wait really hard

lexie - let us know how you get on!

hi jhyesmum - good to hear from you

cd17 nothing on temps or opks - excitment of af arriving and trying this month is wearing off a touch....

wantanotherone · 25/03/2007 15:45

hello.

I'm TTC no.2 as well. Have only managed to scan this thread as v long, but wanted to join in.

DS is 18 months. Have been trying for 3 months. Am not addicted to testing though, not yet anyway.

AF this morning, so no luck again.

Fingers crossed for everyone on here.

Lexie100 · 25/03/2007 18:57

Hi want another one. Sorry AF arrived this am.

Quiet weekend from all. Everyone ok?

skidaddle · 26/03/2007 09:14

Hi everyone,

Wantanotherone, sorry to hear this month wasn't your month.

I had a horrible w/e full of emotional outbursts and crying - am I pregnant or just worried about not being pregnant?

I hate all this ttc and I've only just started!

insywinsyspider · 26/03/2007 09:30

hi skiddale - sorry to hear you're not so good, what cd are you on now? I've been very emotional about the whole ttc, its a horrible waiting process, are you regular? because that will help, at least you know how long you're waiting for and poss best days to get down to business! all hear if it gets you down and you need a rant (I've done it frequently and it does help!)

hi wantanotherone - good luck with this month!

how are you doing lexie?

skidaddle · 26/03/2007 09:54

Hi Insy,

Thanks, feeling a bit saner today. My cycle isn't at all regular so I don't really even know when my period is due but I think about the 2nd April.

I'm new to all these abbreviations but I think I'm on cd23 (does that mean day 21 of cycle?) so another week before i can test..

How about you?

FurryFox · 26/03/2007 12:28

Morning girls

wantanotherone - Sorry AF arrived Good luck for next month and welcome to this ttc#2 thread I have also been ttc for 3 months and have a DD of 19 months.

Lexi - Hope you had a good weekend. How are you?

Skidaddle - Hope this is your month even though it is early days. Understand how you feel, it's an emotional rollercoaster. And jsut so you know, you're right, CD is what day of your cycle you are on

insy - Did you have a good weekend?

yesmum - Hope you're ok

anniemac - How are things with you?

Buttercup - Sorry AF arrived. I'm glad your doctor was so helpful, that's always a good start [simle] I hope the tests bring something posititve and please feel free to come back whenever you like. Wishing you lot's of luck with this ttc business.x

Hope anyone I've missed off is ok.x

hi furry - yes had good weekend but completely forgot the clocks changed! spent most of sunday completely unaware! how about you? how are things going?

skidaddle - not sure about my cycle as only 2 af's since ds was born and that cycle was 55 days so if thats what its going to be doesn't give us many chances to try and af due beginning of may cd18 for me and fed up of waiting for something to show up on opks and taking my temp already and could be a while yet! ov prediction is that its going to be around 21st April... really starting to feel like it'll never happen and am type of person that whats to go out and do something to change that and all can do is wait, very frustrating... doesn't help that had quiet day at home so no much to take mind off things

hello anniemac

Lexie100 · 26/03/2007 20:04

HI all. Sounds like we are all in the same boat at the moment - practically and emotionally.

I'm cd26 so still got 3 days. Did a test this am but not first morning urine and got a BFN. Does first morning urine make a difference on the dip stick style (over the internet pack). I just forgot this am but just couldn't wait till tomorrow. Will try again first thing.

So so emotional till i know one way or the other. No pmt but a few cramps!!! AGGHHHHH

insywinsyspider · 26/03/2007 21:28

i think first morning wee is best what ever the test, try and hand on a couple more days and try then (says me who has no will power at all! )

insywinsyspider · 26/03/2007 21:28

sorry hang on not hand on!

gipsymama · 26/03/2007 23:15

hello all. Just read this great thread, start to finish in one go and it's toptastic. I feel a bit of a fraud posting on here as we are not yet actually TTC no. 2, but not far off. Please can I be in your gang anyway? It's not for want of nagging on my part but i've still got to get the bit of barbed wire removed from up my fanjo (great word, it is mine now ). That lovely event is booked for next month.

DD1 is 4 and was a fabulous accident, so i feel worried about the next one being harder to conceive. I had an easy pg and an okay birth and so am now scared of it all going wrong. DD is happy and healthy - am i tempting fate by trying for another??? A couple of my friends have had bad pg news recently and this has sent me plummeting. And are we mad to be signing up for the poverty that another 4 years of childcare brings, just as DD1 is due to start school and lighten the burden?

Despite all the above I am desperate for another child and have been for the last 2 years (haven't been trying, just wishing: we were too skint to have another very soon after first one). DH thinks i am just one giant hormone and he has given up hope of any rational discussion of whether TTC is a good idea.

Does anyone else have these worries or am I a hormonal, irrational doom-monger of the worst kind?

Scuse long thread (deep breath, slurp of wine, sits back to wait...)

fifisworld · 27/03/2007 08:33

Hi gipsymama,
we too have just decided to ttc #2.
We have a ds who is 11 months and didnt want to wait too long to have another one.
I dont think theres ever a 'right time' tbh, i'll always have worries about money and what i can or cant do, but id rather have a baby now than wait as i might be in a worse situation in 2 or 3 years time.

Lexie100 · 27/03/2007 10:40

Morning all.

Well couldn't wait so did a test this am and got a BFN but still hopefull as have 2-3 days to go before AF arrives.

I'm obsessed with TTC and this is not a good thing. If unsucessful this month will have a little break as if i keep going will end up in an asylum . Really feeling the pressure.

Shoule we start a new thread as this one getting vv long?
