hi ya ll

im mum of one darling 8 month old and im still bf but i think af is due any moment as im having cramps and migraines and havent had any since nov 2005 when i conceived so hope fully will be pregnant again by the summer which would be lovely age gap wise.

it feels so strange to be waiting on a period

any idea where i can get a cheapy ovulation kit from?

Bbabymumma · 23/04/2007 14:30

hiya - love the name boobylicious! 8 months old is a fun age. Good luck with TTC. My sis has 18 months between her dd's and she was bf when she fell pg.

Cheap ov tests can be found access diagnostics

Hope that worked!

mum2sam · 23/04/2007 15:22

hiya all, well i have also did everything i could this month so i am just sitting back and waiting for 2 wks until i can test. Af is 7/5 so roll on these couple months. Hows vereyone else doing?

dressedupnowheretogo · 23/04/2007 15:27

how do they help by the way
coz i got preg very quickly last time but obviously i dont know what to expect this time round ?/

missnatalie · 23/04/2007 15:49

Can i join please. Was just about to start a May thread but came across this one. Had my MMC just over a week ago and 2x ERPC to remove baby. I have no idea when AF will be due but hopefully not too long of a wait. She came exactly 4 weeks after my EP. Fingers crossed that shes eager to make her apperance. As soon as she's been and gone DP will be none stop BD . Hope that we have lots of BFPs in the next couple of months.

MrsMcJnr · 23/04/2007 16:08

Ladies how are you all? Sorry I have been away so long, totally unintentional, just RL getting in the way! I?ll try and catch up with you all! Quick update from me first, CD14 and waiting to OV (probably CD16-18) so it?s that busy time for me and DH anyone else about to OV?

Hello Goingfor3 - sounds like all the new things you are trying this cycle are good ones I hope it makes all the difference and there isn?t a next month for TTC

PinkElephant ? hello I was very run down and tired and could hardly keep my eyes open. GP thought I looked crap too anyway, had tests for thyroid issues, iron deficiency and blood count. They have come back needing a re-test for the blood count and iron but my thyroid is fine so that?s good news. I?ve developed a chesty cough now though, just before OV so that?s not great, can?t help thinking that my body won?t be able to make a baby whilst repairing itself How about you? How are you feeling? Less tired? Might be worth you getting these tests done too?

Hey Wheely hope you?ve got asterixes in your diary for the prime BD days! so glad about the PCOS, one box you can tick off! I?m still waiting to hear about the blood clotting issues 5 weeks now!! GP says to call in 2 weeks! I use the accessdiagnositcs OPKs too, think they work ok (it?s just me that sometimes doesn?t!)

Welcome Shantih ? sorry that April wasn?t your month! Good luck for this cycle.

Welcome Awen Hello Pobletsmum Hello Hespera

Hello Imawurzel ? sorry about AF but maybe it?s not? Best to get investigated if you are not getting any red flow at all I think. Have you tested?

Mum03 ? hope things went well over OV

Welcome Tigerschick ? hope you get some resolution soon!

Hello Gemtubs ? how exciting about your wedding! I?m amazed you can think about anything else, I couldn?t! If we don?t see you again before then, have a fabulous day and try and make it last as long as you can!

Hello Scoprio1 sorry about AF hon.

Hello PlummyMummy ? how disappointing for you! Sorry hon.

Hello MumtoSam ? fingers crossed!

Welcome Kaleidoscope (do I know you under another name then? ) & to Lexie100

Hello Meto (do I know you too?!)

Fruitful I like your style! Make sure you de-brief the boys

Fingers crossed BBabymamma

Welcome Boobylicious.

tigerschick · 23/04/2007 16:11

Phew - that's one long post MrsMcJnr! Bet you need a cuppa after that!

Hi, btw

Bbabymumma · 23/04/2007 16:24

I love MrsMcJnr's postings - you never leave anyone out its brilliant! Haven't seen you for a while prob because we are at different bits of our cycles but I hope you are well and things are going ok. Good luck with bding this month. Hope you don't run out of motivation like we did !

Missnatalie sorry to hear about you news last week. Hope you are ok.

MrsMcJnr · 23/04/2007 16:24

sorry! but yes, I did and a Snickers! making the most of those!

goingfor3 · 23/04/2007 18:19

MrsMcJnr - I hope you are enjoying your busy time

I rekcon I ov'd two or three days ago, a couple of hours ago I noticed a tiny amoumt a blood on my knickers. If it happened in a few days I would assume implantation. I'm hoping there is nothing wrong with my hormone levels causing this bleed

Imawurzel · 23/04/2007 18:40

MrsMcJnr,Maybe a little 'friend' will sneak in without you knowing about it, y'know,when your body is repairing
.
I did a Test saturday just gone. We are going to do a 'proper' test (from boots not ebay) saturday coming if nothing has happened by then.If still nowt then i will be off to docs.
Tigerschick, Whats an HPT?
Hope everyone has had a wonderful day.

tigerschick · 23/04/2007 18:42

Wurzel - Home Pregnancy Test

Imawurzel · 23/04/2007 18:46

Dur!!!
Such a dumbass!!!
I had some ebay ones from someone,cant remember who.
Going to get one (or two) from boots at weekend (payday)

missnatalie · 23/04/2007 20:31

Im undecided can you help me girls. Do i ttc before my 1st af or wait till shes been and gone. I know that next time will be a new egg, new sperm new pregnancy etc but im worried if we try again too soon it will all end in terribly. PLUS im still taking my anti-biotica. Would this cause any harm if i did catch straight away?

dressedupnowheretogo · 23/04/2007 20:33

thankyou for the welcome all

can you get ovulation kits from boots ?

also im still having cramps so will i be able to possible get pregnant before it happens or not im confused

tigerschick · 23/04/2007 20:56

Hi boobylicious - Yes you can get ov kits in Boots here But I have heard that they are cheaper elsewhere.

Feeling a bit crap tonight ladies. Just found out that 2 (count 'em ... 2) of my friends from ante-natal are expecting. They are due on the same day in November. Really want to be happy for them but just can't bring myself at the mo. Luckily not planning to see either of them til next week so have sent congrats by text and will practise my 'so-happy-for-you' face between now and then. I know loads of you have been thru this but it's the first time for me. Sorry to be so down.

MamaMaiasaura · 23/04/2007 21:02

JUst thought I would pop on for a minute

Still no AF (hurry up please!) Finished 5 day of provera on Saturday. Thought AF should arrive today but nooooo. Once AF arrives can start clomid again.

RL been busy, went for fab sail at the weekend. Ds poorly again, had to get him from school - tonisllitis again. I decided to avoid the stress of carer's leave from work and have called in sick - have a bit of a dodgy tummy so I dont feel too guilty.

Hope you lovely ladies ok. Any chance of a roll call so I can catch up with everyone?

Not adding myself on it till AF arrives xx

Kaleidoscope · 23/04/2007 22:31

meto-yep we can be old timers together

mrsmcjnr-yes We have come across each other uner my old name..

plummymummy · 24/04/2007 00:19

Mrs McJ you are so sweet sending us all personal messages. Hope you are lucky this month

Bbabymumma · 24/04/2007 11:48

hi may threaders.

Just to let you know my news but I'm not dancing and singing yet because its very early, infact I'm more into biting my nails at the moment. I got a bfp this morning. Its been a long time trying and I don't believe it now its here and I can't even think of venturing on a/n threads so I shall just lurk in the background. Thanks for preventing me from going insane.

tigerschick · 24/04/2007 11:59

Hi again BM - just congratulated you on the April thread! But hey, congratulations again!

Hope everyone else is ok today

MrsMcJnr · 24/04/2007 12:18

Thanks BbabyMumma we certainly ran out of motivation last cycle when I didn?t OV until CD33 after starting the egg race at the usual CD11/12!

Goingfor3 ? indeed we are it?s actually nice to say that with all honesty there have been cycles where it felt like a means to an end sometimes guess that?s life! VERY interesting about the itsy bit of blood. Don?t want to get your hopes up but the only time that has happened to me (and it was 3dpo) was the cycle I got my BFP. It is too early for implantation but can be caused when the egg bursts from the follicle and it is apparently a very good fertile sign, fingers crossed!

Imawurzel, hello let?s hope so! Fingers crossed for your Sat testing! When I was late and decided to test (and got my BFP) I used a digital so there would be no doubt. How lovely it was to see the word ?pregnant?

Missnatalie ? not sure about the antibiotics but think you should definitely check that out before you decide. Other than that, just do what feels right

Hi Boobylicious ? you can get them from Boots but they are quite pricey. Not sure what you meant about ?im still having cramps so will i be able to possible get pregnant before it happens or not im confused? do you mean ovulation type cramps? If so, sperm can live for 5 days in a fertile environment so you can effectively store it up to meet the egg in the run up to ovulation. Hope that helps

Tigerschick ? it?s tough when that happens, I know. You have to remember that there is a limitless supply and just because they got pregnant, doesn?t mean it has any impact on you. Think of them cooing over your smaller, cuter baby when theirs are a couple of months old!

Hello Awen ? hope you and DS feel much better soon.

Oohhhh Kaleidoscope ? any tips for me? Don?t play if you don?t want to, I know the point of a name change is to start again.

Thank you PlummyMummy

Fuming at my boss won?t go into it but he just behaves like Hitler ? most of the time!!

MrsMcJnr · 24/04/2007 12:20

Crossed with you Bbabymumma ? congratulations!! I really hope things work out fantastically well for you

meto · 24/04/2007 12:54

fingerrs crossed babymama congratualtions

mrsmcJ - I think quite possibly you know my real name (as it were) my typing's normally/styel apparenlty is v obvious.

akl -

hope everyone's doing ok in general thou.

i'm feeling a little down today - had a good BD'ing sesh with DH last night but alas no O for me yet on my persona - lots of red days thou, and i'm getting worried the line on the stick's getting lighter again - it's def not as strong as the control line. so CD14 and still nothing. to cap it all off tomorrow's our 4th year anniversery and DH's work are sending him away over night so I don't even get an anniversery BD this year oh well will have to make up for it either side! lol.

outlaws are visiting from sat so I really hope i'm/have OV'ed by then as I can BD with outlaws downstairs

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 13:46

Thanks for the reply MrsMcJnr, is the egg bursting out of the follicle not ovulation?
