Ok so I am bravely attempting to set up a new thread for anyone tTC.
Plug in your stats ...
Share the highs of your journey
Limit the lows - yes it's a challenging time but being negative gets you down.
I'm thinking positivity breeds positivity and positive thinking gets positive results -
It may take some of us a little longer than others ... but does that matter? I think not.

New rules - instead of saying af due ... we say bfp due ...

So here goes ... my stats
Age 38
Cycle 3
Bfp due 14/02

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 16:53

Yes hippy! Bfp 😬😬 we are away next weekend and I'm secretly hoping my DP will propose! Would be the most perfect weekend ever if both were to happen!

Also the babygrow arrives Monday! I'm excited to see it 😍

I also have a higher sex drive than my DP Blushah well I think it's because he's older than me 😂

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 16:56

Oooooo how exiting EMH!!! Where are you going (sorry if I have missed previously!).
Primark had the cutest baby things today. I also told DH about the pram I want (sad) and he said it sounds nice (!!!!!!!).

Yessss Hippy PMA lol! March is going to be our month. November babies here we come!!!!

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 17:14

salem I love prams!! It's my one thing I can't wait to buy! Defo not sad! Which one are you after?! Cute of your DH too :) primark has some lovely baby stuff now!

Off to the Suffolk coast, although I had a similar "feeling" at New Years and I was wrong 😂🙈

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 17:24

I have my heart set on a Joolz Day in Parrot Blue with tan leather handles. It's £800 Shock!!!!! I don't even know if it will fit in my tiny cottage but I love it. 😍
Have you found one you like?

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 17:29

Oh how exciting EMHW! That would be the best ever getaway!
I also want to know what pram?

well I'm trying to hold out till valentines! I'm a POAS addict, plus my letter has come through for my infertility appointment it's the 21st of Feb:-/ doctor said I wouldnt get the appoint for probably a couple of months, must've been a cancellation.

Was out with the in laws today, could barely concentrate on what they were saying I wanted to take my bra off so bad lol. I've only got very padded push up bra typesConfused

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 17:37

Ooo that's a nice one Salem, I know absolutely nothing about baby related things, so I'd have to do a lot of research and reading up. I can't do anything without researching, sometimes I wake up at night just so I can google something. I should maybe start ordering myself some books to pass the time

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 17:38

Fingers & toes crossed for you Rose! Keep holding out, just think of that strong BFP you are going to get!

Here is some helpful info on the Joolz Day. I'm just telling myself that I'm being prepared because I will, eventually, have to buy a pram!!!

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 17:46

Thanks Rose! Will keep my fingers crossed for you would be lovely for you not to have to go through the fertility investigations, we are going down that route should march prove fruitless I'm a planner and not the let's wait and see kind of person, I'm super proactive and helps me feel in control. What a beautifully romantic Valentine's Day with a bfp for you would be!

Love the Joolz and colour choice Salem! It's 😍 😍mine is super expensive too 😳😳my DP is trying to manage my imaginary baby spending! Mima xari in dark grey with rose gold chassis is my current love ❤️

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 11/02/2017 18:18

WELL EMH it IS going to keep precious cargo in it. So.... 😂 doesn't matter about the cost!
Wow, that is beautiful! It looks so comfortable I want to have a try in in!!!.

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 18:24

Thanks Salem & Emhw
Love the pram choices & the colour combos, love navy with tan leather and I have a grey and rose gold watch. Is Jool. I bet if I start researching prams they will start getting pricier and pricier.

How long have you been ttc Emhw? I've had my ovulation test come back good and my dh apparently has amazing sperm (I think I should've maybe gone with him to hear these sperm results for myself) not really sure what they'd be doing next, there's something about running a dye to test for blockages and maybe and internal scan but I'm wondering if I'm just gonna talk to someone first or would they start poking around straight away:-/ I'm sure once your pregnant you have to get used to all the poking.

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 18:43

Ha salem you are sooooo right! Plus the cash I'll save not drinking will pay for it anyway 😂 my friend got this amazing baby bag that she paid a fortune for too! 😆

rose we've been trying for 5 months, what about you?

I've had issues with bleeding in the past due to problems after I had pre cancerous cells removed so used to being poked and prodded already 😂I can deal with anything except not knowing.

I would imagine they would let you know first if they were planning any invasive tests?! You'd hope so :) its good you've been proactive around it and your partner sounds like he's taking it all in his stride 😊My DP has been wonderful I must say, I'm very lucky 😊

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 19:01

we've not been using contraception for nearly 3 years:-/, we were going for the "see what happens approach" but I've only been tracking things properly for 3 cycles, which is a good job as I'd prob be out of my mind by now. I'd like to think I can do it without help if I put some proper effort in.

I had an internal ovary scan about a year ago due to random bleeding. It was supposed to be an external ultrasound but I just couldn't not pee out the pint of water I was supposed to hold in. So don't know how I'd cope with the pregnancy scans. If I drink I need to pee, if I'm nervous I need to pee!

EMHW123 · 11/02/2017 19:15

What age are you Rose if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure it's in the thread somewhere so apologies for asking! I'm 33 DP 36.

I think half my issue with the ovulation tests is 4hours of not peeing is impossible for me! I pee at least 1-2 x in the night never mind during the day! I feel your pain lol

sarahboro1 · 11/02/2017 19:16

Evening ladies!! I've just dropped hubby off for a stag do so I can freely tap away on here all evening!! Thanks for compiling the list Salem, I look forward to them each time so here I am:
Age 35
Ttc #1
Cycle 11
Bfp due 2 march

Am I the longest serving ttc'er on here??!! Xx

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 19:24

Yup I'm exactly the same with the peeing! Heaven forbid it should increase even more with pregnancy. I'd just have to wear a nappy lol I find my opks work OK with less gap I just do a few when I'm expecting my peak.
I'm 33 too Dh is 37

Sarah it depends on how you define "trying" I'm either cycle 33 or cycle 3 of trying really really hard!

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 19:25

Btw I have this thing about things happening in 3s and I'm now 33 on cycle 33/3 I must be pregnant! Not sure how I'd feel about triplets...

sarahboro1 · 11/02/2017 19:28

lol triplets rose!! That would be you done at least!!! Wowzers you're in the lead on 33 months!!! Xx

Roseandbee · 11/02/2017 19:32

Yup lol, I bet it'd limit my choice of fancy buggies!

Blondienut · 11/02/2017 19:33

Age 38
Ttc 2 (first with my new hubbie , also had a previous Tfmr 😢 so technically ttc no3)
Cycle 5
CD 13
No idea when AF due as last cycle 19dsys and previous ones 28-30!

Oh away until Monday morning so not getting hopes up this month.

Hope everyone keeping positive and ready for BFPs this spring. I'm so relieved winter is nearly over- the dark mornings and evenings can really get you down I think. I do take vit D (can't remember who was asking) and also omega 3, coenzyme Q10, folic acid, vit C and zinc!!!!!!!

I have been using opks this month and think I'm nearing a positive as line getting darker- what you think girls? Maybe oh will be back in time for ovulation after all!!!

Destination conception ... route PMA.
sarahboro1 · 11/02/2017 19:38

Lol yes Rose I bet it's like a military operation with 3!!

Hey blondie, they're getting stronger!! I think you'll have a good chance still this month if your oh is back on Monday!! I can't wait for spring and light mornings with the birds singing away!! Xx

Hippychic79 · 11/02/2017 20:03

Lovely pranks ladies ... super organised, and very PMA - love it :))
EMH - how exciting ... it would be amazing if you got bfp and engaged ... I'll keep my fx for you ... keep us posted.

Rose - Fx you won't need the appointment ... I am praying for you for this. My oh and I have been together for 13 months and have never used contraception... but for the first 8 months I avoided fw ... wish i hadn't now !
Hope your enjoying tv domination Sarah ... it's nice to have just you time ... my oh works a lot so I get it quite often :)) enjoy xxx
Hi blondie - they're definitely getting stronger ... should be sorted for Monday I reckon xxx

Hey hippy how are you doing?? Yes I've got the remote!! I love watching trash tv and hubby goes mad so I'm loving it, with the heating on full blast too!! ☺️ Xx

bakingmad83 · 11/02/2017 20:23

Evening ladies, just a quick message with my stats:

Age 33
ttc #2
cycle 3
CD 7
bfp due 18/3/17

Re prams though, we have the Silver Cross Pioneer for DS. Can't fault it, but wouldn't be practical if you have a small boot or use public transport a lot as it's pretty bulky.
