MrsMcJnr - I don't have a problem with anyone talking about miscariage, it helps people know they are not alone. I had a miscariage at 20 weeks the first time I was pregnant and really wish I had known about MN then.

MrsMcJnr · 13/04/2007 15:19

that must have been so awful for you, I'm sorry.

mumto3girls · 13/04/2007 15:24

Why is it until you get pregnant you always assumethat pgy = baby at the end of 9 months...

Never did I know how hard it would be to have babies..and I have had it easy compared to some people..

It's such random lottery out there!!

MrsMcJnr · 13/04/2007 16:22

Totally agree. I wish I still believed you could get pregnant by kissing a boy!

mumto3girls · 13/04/2007 16:45

God yeah...mind you I'd have millions by now..

goingfor3 · 15/04/2007 10:15

Morning all,

Hopw you are all well, this thread is very quiet at the moment.

I think I may have already ov'd . I caved in and bought some ov sticks. Friday and saturday they were negative. I had some ewcm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday but none today. I probably missed the surge on Thursday. We bd'd on thursday and friday so should be in with a chance. Will carry on this month just incase I was wrong! So I may now be on the two week wait, well usually about 11 days for me which means I'll be due end of April.

wheelybug · 15/04/2007 15:56

Hi all - well done with the list mum03 ! It iS quiet around here !

Not much to report here. Just had 3 couples (and children) to stay for the w/e - all 3 are expecting. Thought I was going to feel horribly horribly jealous but we had a lovely weekend and I found out one of the couple have had an awful lot of problems conceiving which made me feel v. humble.

Scan tomorrow to check for PCOS here. Feeling a bit apprehensive about it but at least it might help.

Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine !

Imawurzel · 15/04/2007 17:37

I'm sat watching my items on ebay. ending tween 5.45 and 7pm ish.
It's fun watching the price go up and up.
Is that sad??
6 out of 8 are sure to sell. Annoying that if they don't sell i still have to pay to re-list (don't i?) Not done it for yonks.

Imawurzel · 15/04/2007 17:38

Oh yes and well done mum03.
It's cool to see my name on one of those thingys.

Gemtubbs · 15/04/2007 20:06

Hello! I'm a bit new, but I'd like to join if that's ok. Been ttc since November. Hope May is the month for everyone! I'm getting married in just under 3 weeks so we always have the honeymoon to get in a bit of extra trying hard! All the best to all the soon to be mums to be! Love Gem.xXx

Imawurzel · 15/04/2007 20:09

Ooh 3 weeks.
Got everything done??
I took the week off before ours, so i could relax and double check everything and do a bit of tidying before rellies came to stay.

pobletsmum · 15/04/2007 21:46

How exciting Gemtubbs! Please stay and tell us all about the wedding plans...

Mum03 - thankyou for doing the list. Can we copy and paste in details if they change or is it better for just one person to be in control IYSWIM?

MrsMcJnr - my name comes from the fact that DH's sister once called him 'pob' like the TV character. So...when DS was born, he was 'poblet' which makes me 'pobletsmum'. I don't really ever refer to DS as poblet in rl, but it just stuck in my mind so I use it here.

Imawurzel - how did eBay sales go? I don't think you have to pay for re-listing but might be wrong.

Hespera - not sure if anyone else answered you about pre-seed (sorry if I'm repeating someone else) - it's a sperm-friendly lubricant. It comes in applicator thingys and you use it prior to BD. Sperm like it apparently . Have never tried it myself.

To those of you who have had miscarriages - I'm very sorry to hear of your experiences . Please feel free to talk about it as much as you would like. I wish you all the very best on your TTC journeys.

Hello to everyone who I haven't mentioned.

Hespera · 15/04/2007 22:39

Gemtubbs - hello and how exciting about the wedding! Tell us everything!

Pobletsmum- thanks for that, I hadn't seen that as yet - where do you get it from?

Secondly, (stupid question alert[brush]) am I right in thinking we should be BDing every other day?

pobletsmum · 15/04/2007 22:55

Hespera - yes every other day is good - frequent enough not to miss any window of opportunity but leaving enough time for sperm to regenerate (or whatever!)

As I said, I've never used it, but I know Pre-seed is sold by 'Access Diagnostics' and probably many other places. I have bought cheap pregnancy tests from them in the past.

Talking of pregnancy tests... have any of you bought any yet? I bought 10 on eBay tonight for £2.88 incl 1st class postage. They're the ultra senstive ones you can use from 7 days post-ov. I'm very impatient .

Off to bed now. DS is teething badly and was awake 11pm-5am last night . Very unlike him, and came as a bit of a shock. Hoping to get a bit more sleep tonight.

Well done on making the list Mum03. I hope you are feeling okay. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for you, it's time we moved off these ttc boards!

TMI ALERTI've tried using pre-seed but I think that one application is too much, it felt quiet unpleasent. I used it a few days ago but even last night felt that there was some in there as none if the semem came out. I think tht next time I will just use a smaller amount of it.

I red somewhere that if you bd every other day you have a 22% chance if conceiving, if you do it every day than your chances go up to 25%. Do it as much as you can be bothered!

Imawurzel · 16/04/2007 18:26

If it was up to my DH we would be BD'ing every day!!
I go for every other day.
Made £18 on e-bay pobletsmum.
Not a great deal but i still got more to get rid off.
it's irritating cos e-bay take a bit, then paypal take a bit then paypal take more to transfer into bank acc.
Oh well. [sigh]
How has everyones day been??
Glorious and sunny??

MrsMcJnr · 16/04/2007 19:33
