Eek never started one of these threads before but thought i'd be brave.

is cd 1 today This was my first cycle since m/c in march. Feeling pretty positive about July - if i don't i'll cry .

Surely someone wants to join me and stop me looking/feeling like a fool!!

Hi alittlebitshy!! I have a few more contraceptive pills before I officially start TTC! So I will join you in the July thread as although bding in June at the earliest (I'm thinking positively that my hormones will regulate straight away!) my 2ww would be in July!!

Here's to a successful month!!

and sorry to hear about your m/c - how many weeks were you? will this be your first baby?

alittlebitshy · 08/06/2007 16:35

(by July i mean when the tww will be and positve in july)

Was an early m/c - not q 6 weeks.

I already have a dd who is just 4!! What about you?

hello, i'm here!

cd6, ttc dc3, period due early july sometime (hard to tell yet!)i have 2 ds already, who are 5 and 2, and a dss, who is also 5.

sorry to hear of your mc alittlebit,

i too am trying to be positive instead of crying.this is my 4th cyle now ttc.5 cycles is the longest before (a bfp when 5th period due), so if im not pg this time i will be really panicing

alittlebitshy · 08/06/2007 16:47

oh goody! I feel a success now others have come along lol.

I am feelng a lot better about the m/c now. obviously still have my wobbles but a lot less of them.

I appear to be pretty fertile. DD was a surprise honeymoon baby, and the pg i m/c was only 5 months (bfp 5 months, start of cycle 4 months) after I came off depo...... Therefore I get frustrated easily at failure.

hum de ho.

I reckon i'll be due on 7/8 July....... seems a long time off.

alittlebitshy · 08/06/2007 16:48

alittlebitshy - oh good - I'm new to this so wasn't sure which thread I should be on but hoped it was this one

I will be TTC my first! Very exciting!

7/8 July? I think I'll be even later than that.. it does seem a long time away doesn't it!

Hi Scorpio!! Glad to hear you're still remaining positive

scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 16:50

im about the same time as you! i too have always conceived fairly fast - about 3 months ds1 and four months ds2.(this is my 4th month now; hoping it will be bfp, dont know how much longer i can wait!!)

is your dd in school now? or sept?

scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 16:51

hi again toomuch . . yeah i am ok, have wobbles sometimes, but so does everyone ttc!!

ttc your first is always very exciting i am ttc dc3 (i want 4 altogether)

toomuchtimeonline · 08/06/2007 16:54

Wow 4!! I think I want 3 (which is easy to say when you have none!) however DH wants 2!

I'd settle for 1 BFP in July

scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 16:57

this baby to be conceived will be 4th between us. i meant i want 4 of my own + dss, so 5 altogether

hope you all get your bfp

alittlebitshy · 08/06/2007 16:59

lol i never ttc my first she kind of got conceived!!!!!! I'm kind of glad, knowing the stress it's causing me now!!!

dd is at school nursery, scorpio. She'll go into recpetion in september but it won't be much difference other than new classroom and new teacher cos the nursery class is full time too and i don't think anyone new joins the class unless a space comes up!

I must have just missed you on the ttc threads ( i mainly kept off them until now since m/c other than the ttc after m/c one) - i recognise your name so maybe we met on the march one but....)

and to think i wasted a hpt this am cos i thought i might have been pg. grr. lol. as a friend said to me, the best way to get a period to come is to do a preg test!!!

OP posts:
scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 17:02

and the best way to make a pg turn up is to drink loads when you havent thought about it, have sex once and not really want 1!

i do recognise your name from ttc feb or march....

my ds2 is in nursery when im at uni, starts preschool in Jan. ds1 started school in Jan this year.

bobbydazzler · 08/06/2007 17:30

Hi Scorpio and other ladies,

I am due or hopefully not as case may be at end of June/beg of July so I am kind of straddling 2 months at present which is what i hope to be doing tonight with DH

Actually not feeling that happy really, even though it is Friday and sun is shining.

As scorpio knows I am now on my 13th month ttc no 2 and the fun is going out of it for me and more so for dh who seems to be taking each month that I don't get pregnant worse than me which then makes me feel more uptight about it than i think i would be otherwise.

I had a day 21 progesterone test last week and got results this week which were normal but I know it could be lots of other things including dh swimmers so it is just a case of plodding on until we get a referral to the hospital for more tests.

Sorry for distinct lack of cheer i am sounding currently on this thread, dh pessimism is rubbing off on me

scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 17:31

hi again bobby its allowed to be miserable y'know

my1stbaby · 08/06/2007 20:56

Hello everyone! Can I join you guys here? I'm feeling very low and weepy today as AF on it's way. Thought I would be ok as was expecting it and been telling myself that it means I can try again next cycle. But evidently I am not ok. This is my 2nd cycle after m/c at 12wks. Starting to feel it'll never happen and everywhere I turn there's little babies and pregnant women everywhere! arghhh!!! Why is ttc such a lonely thing to do??? Sorry for being so downbeat...will do better next post. Have a good weekend.

scorpio1 · 08/06/2007 21:27

hi my1st

take yourself to the hut of gloom for a good moan - we do!

spugs · 09/06/2007 11:34

hiya , think ill be joining you lot over here havent had af yet but its due some time over the next week or so. i tested a couple of days ago and got a bfn which was the first one ive got since my mc 4 weeks ago. Any way good luck to everyone this month x

kensgirl · 09/06/2007 20:56

Hi all, just adding myself in and saying hello. Cd 2 for me today, so with my short cycl,will next be due around 1st July, which is also my due date.... Hope it brings me some luck.

EllieG · 09/06/2007 20:57

Hey all - anyone there? Well done for being brave alittlebitshy personally am too chicken to start threads generally, although did start one when had MC and bless 'em, everyone was so lovely and helpful.
Am planning first baby. Had MC in March, which I am (mostly) OK about (although this evening, funnily enough, I am really quite sad and missing my little one). Have a lovely DSD, who I am Mum to as her Mum very sadly died 2 years ago (before I knew them).
I need all the help I can get staying sane most days - is nice to chat to people who don't balk at ttc talk!

EllieG · 09/06/2007 20:58

Hey kensgirl - how you doing?
I am in 2 week wait period at moment- AF due 21st ish and I know will be so disappointed if it comes. But am trying not to get too worked up.

scorpio1 · 10/06/2007 18:43

just checking in really!

cd8 here, going fine!

my1stbaby · 11/06/2007 09:16

Checking in to say hello . Had a very emotional day yesterday; went really depressed all of a sudden and sobbed my heart out. Caught DH by surprise, didn't know what hit him poor thing . I'm feeling much more upbeat this morning, thank God! DH and I agreed to go for a weekend break in Dorset next week, it'll be our first break in 2 years. I'm really looking forward to it. We decided to splash out and stay in a B&B or hotel rather than camping. Had a look on the prices just now, at how much it costs per night!

Hope everyone will have a good week ahead.

EllieG · 11/06/2007 10:20

Sounds lovely my1stbaby you probably need the break and the cost is an investment in your relationship and your mental health so don't feel too bad about it!

my1stbaby · 11/06/2007 10:45

Thanks Ellie. Yeah, figured we could do with a break even though quite skint. We're trying to save up for IVF. Planning our first attempt in Aug, I'll be officially 41 then . However, I'm secretly hoping that I'll conceive naturally before taking the terrifying plunge. So there's a lot riding on this cycle .

DontlookatmeImshy · 11/06/2007 13:36

Can I join. CD1 today. Cycles all over the place so af could be due anytime from early July.
