TTC MAY-be, maybe not.... lets try again with the May thread

[yum03creameggs]

Roll call for all interested in the May ttc

Mum03 - cd1 af due 3/5

just popping on to see how you all are. Keeping fingers crossed.

Plumy - i did loads of bfns and actually convinced myself I wasnt. Took until cd64 ish for bfp so hang in there hun. Not meaning to get hopes up, but you never know xx

Scorpio - I have loads of CM apparantly normal so fingers crossed for you too mate xx

Lots of babydust for you all. I have morning sickness (well all day sickness - and night too) but I am not going to complain cos just feeling very very lucky right now

right is it me or are the cycle months getting longer. ive only just stopped bleeding so its pointless even trying til the 17th. and its a whole week til my hottest day. then ive got the 2ww to look forward too. then af arriving just as ive convinced myself....

feck it. off to the hut again!

aww lissie - I'd bd most days from the moment bleeding stops. Good excercise too

lol but i dont want dh getting too used to it

my dp is having to 'amuse' himself now lol. Am too ick to be interested. I think he was glad of the rest.

(he is having a loongrest now.. at least 8 months )

lol, when i was pg with ds i had a lot of bleeding so no sex was nice to sleep!

Thanks ladies Awen morning sickness is a very good sign that the pg hormones are strong, so at least that is some comfort. Wow - you got a bfp on CD64 How did you work out how many weeks you were? Sorry your month seems so long Lissie. I never have long to ttc after my period cos my cycle is short, but the two week wait still seems to drag on. Scorpio - was your cm a strange colour all month or just some of it? Mine has turned this funny colour only this week, but I had it last month too (maybe around the same time).

lissie

Plummy - they did a dating scan and it showed i was only 4/5 weeks so i only ov'd around cd40ish. Got my next scan on Tuesday - hopeful should be 6/7 weeks just to check hb. Sickness only been bad last 4 days. No actually sick tho.

Re the CM - I just have lots more and clear.. also has a salty odour sorry if tmi. I dont usually smell it.. honest

tbh plummy im only on day 8. it just seems to be dragging. we also have to see doc in june. the day after af is due

plummy-it was funny, sort of greyish and a REALLY strong smell.if you think it is BV,please get it checked because it can cause mc.

lissie-i know, time drags doesnt it!

i am in a not so good place this evening....

oh and started as soon as the infection started iykwim

sorry not good day scorpio xxx ((hugs))

Plummy - I've never thought about the definiton of spotting before. Hmmmmm... Sorry if this is all TMI. I guess for me spotting is toilet-paper-when-you-wipe or pantyliner stuff, but I recently started to use a mooncup (2nd month & I think it's great!) so it was more difficult to know how much there was this month. Not much at all though, just red mixed with CM, no brown. My proper periods (not spotting) start with a big gush usually so the cut-off is obvious. I get a little bit of warning (just when I wipe) a few hours before it starts. I used to have VERY heavy periods & I never used to get any warning at all! Would taking your temperature help you to work out which is your real CD1? I don't know if you're temping. I'm lucky my temps are quite clear-cut & predictable and I see a drop on CD1.

Scorpio - sorry it's a bad day, but I'm glad you're feeling better after that bug. I just peeped at your profile page pics - your boys are gorgeous - you must be so proud!

Lissie - 'dont want dh getting too used to it' - I know what you mean! Poor DH had to wait months between 'sessions' during my pregnancy with DS, due to all day all night nausea/sickness, and then nearly 6 months after he was born!!!!! It was a long while till the next time too... probably only a few times in the last 2+ years, so I had him trained to wait! Suddenly increasing to TTC proportions this month came as a bit of a shock to him, and I don't want him getting used to it cos I'll probably have to 'starve' him again soon! I'm lucky he's the patient type!

Awen - I hope scan goes well on tuesday.

Hello everyone else!

Scorpio, mine is not grey. Hmmm, might have to re-think. Sorry you're feeling down - is it maybe the aftermath of being ill? Pobletsmum - thanks for that. I don't temp (didn't think I would need to as conceived immediately before - however, may need to re-think my strategy now). Awen, good luck with the scan. Positive vibes going your way

Oh forgot to say Lissie, according to the fertility calendars my fertile days start from cd8 (same day you're at now)which is a bit of a bummer when one is still menstruating (have long periods).

Plummy,i do think i am still getting over being ill,bit off food and feeling sicky still.

thanks for listening to me again all of you!

CD24 here today,on the home stretch

Me too - on cd22. Did internet cheapie and
-ve still. Mind you, Mrs McJnr said hers took ages to produce a +ve result.

plummy-when i was pg with ds1, i had a - result from gp at nearly 10 weeks,2 +hpt,countless -,they scanned me because i insisted i was pg,there was ds1! ds2 i didnt get + until 6 weeks + 3 days (ish).so its not over yet!when af due? mine thursday

Morning ladies CD6 here AF has packed her bags and vacated the premises so will have to start BDing sometime soon sometimes (and I will only tell you on here as I am I do think about waiting until I think I'm actually OVing to start doing the deed to maybe weigh up the chances of a blue one this time BUT then I think oh sod it if it's to be it's to be and then I think a blue one what would I do with one of those, 3 pink ones would be fab, I love pink and maybe a blue one would feel a bit left out so we will leave it up to fate after all you get what you are given and be thankful.

I had a very rare night out on Friday with some other mums and all we did was talk about our children, pregnancy, childbirth, hearing all the horror stories you would think I would have been put off! First time I have been out in over 3 years where I haven't been PG or breastfeeding felt weird like I've just got my body back and now I'm doing it all again.

best of luck to all those on the 2 ww too!

Hello ladies Rubbish weekend weather here [feather duster out tickling you all with baby dust! )

You?ve been busy! It?s going to take me ages to catch up!

I?m good thanks Tigerschick no sickness (yet) just tired with enormous boobs How?s the back?

Lexie100 ? hope the relaxed attitude made a difference this cycle, fingers crossed!

Plummymummy ? that is odd about the frequency of the smears, I think you are entitled to know why. Have to say that the yellow CM sounds good, I have had that too when first pg Everything crossed for you. That brown spotting sounds odd that you usually have. I think like you, I would count cd1 as the day when I first need proper protection.

Hang in there anniemac!

Jhyesmum thanks! Sorry you are having such a crap time Hope you find out what is going on very soon.

How are you feeling about things Pinkslippers? Fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear about AF Pobletsmum but totally understand where you are coming from with the antibiotics. Wonder if the hour thing is to let the drug get through the lining of your stomach? But that will be what is making you feel sick. Maybe they don?t agree with you and you should let GP know?

Scorpio ? hope you are feeling better I have lots of CM.

Jacqei ? Congratulations! Agnus Cactus I have heard of but not the one you mention. Glad it worked for you! I have heard a lot of warnings about the herb I mentioned, it is very powerful and can be dangerous too. I guess best advice is to always get professional advice before taking anything, just in case

Lissie ? sorry about the pain.

Hey Awen hope you are feeling well in spite of the sickness (none for me ? yet!) hope the scan goes well.

Hello SweetKitty

I've been cleaning too. Washing the wallpaper to take my mind off things. Have been getting some twinges today which feel like pre period twinges. We'll see. Period due tuesday. Sometimes my cycle might be a bit longer than 24 days but I usually at least have spotting by that time. My nipples look darker but I think it's my imagination. Oh help me, I think I am going insane If my period comes I am going to eat loads of prawns and drink lots of wine. I do so love prawns

plummy-dont you will go MAD!! if (it will) my period comes im going clubbing

Afternoon ladies

Awen - good luck for the scan

Plummy - not long now until Tuesday ... be strong

Scorpio - Sorry you were down yesterday. When is dp due back? Hope you're feeling a bit better today

Strange pains in my back yesterday - seemed to move from the middle of my right hip, across the small of my back, into my left hip then settle on the tops of my hips for ages then just go away! Today my shoulder blade is sore again - I'm just falling apart I think!!

It's interesting seeing how everyone's cycles go. Having such looooooong and irregular cycles means that I've never been able to get a handle on how mine works. I have cm on some days, not on others, sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's reddish-brown... but it never seems to be in any order or lead to anything!!! It's more than a little frustrating. At least I have dd to prove that my body isn't completely rubbish!

And on that cheerful note I shall leave you all to your Sunday afternoons

Tigerschick - I think ttc makes you study your body more and that's why we analyse our cm, bodily aches/twinges etc. I had a pain in my shoulderblade last month and convinced myself I had another ectopic pregnancy, but period came nonetheless Sometimes I fear this whole process is turning me into a hypochondriac
