yeah i found that after i posted
lol thanks for the response its the 1st time ive posted on MN :-S And i think dp will be glad to hear that as ive just been harrasing him to do it every night! so ill give him a little more rest until then and its back to twise a day!

scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 15:57

oh, and also its best to only have sex every 2-3 days, for best sperm quality....if you do it every day they are not as strong, for want of better words!

watch BBC3 tonight, there is a ttc baby programme on. very good!

scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 15:58

ahh, just seen your profile! your babies are lush!

TheWiltedRose · 28/06/2007 16:00

oh no! i was using that as an excuse! lol
and the programs called make me a baby, i watched it last week and was sobbing like a baby when the 100 women got there results about wether they were pregnant or not!

TheWiltedRose · 28/06/2007 16:01

aww thank you i havnt updated that in a few months i think ill have to add more piccies and make sure everythings right :S

scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 16:01

i watched it too-weird how i was so happy for those 12 couples! see you are ttc no.3 too

TheWiltedRose · 28/06/2007 16:06

lol yup! people think im mad seeing as ones 2 and a hlf and ones still only 10 months and im so young but i cant help it! i feel it will complete my family if i can have a girl with my dp as the boys are not his and we are getting married next year so i want everything to be right as i start that stage of my life.

btw i found i cried more for the women whos results were negative and the looks on there faces i felt too envious for the posative results! lol

scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 16:07

i had two kids by the time i was your age, too. first at 17, 2nd at 19. my first isn't my partners either, the 2nd is. i've also got a stepson, who is 5.

sweetkitty · 29/06/2007 09:14

morning ladies, any news, scorpio????

I am keeping everything crossed that lots of you are going to join me on the Due in March thread (well all of you really)

AF due today still expecting her to turn up I know it's crazy, even though we were trying and desperately wanted another one I've been having thoughts of "OMG three what are we doing"? When you already have two you know exactly what you are letting yourself in for. For some reason I've been thinking OMG three pairs of school shoes..... must be my hormones!

ronshar · 29/06/2007 09:15

Bad day.
AF has arrived.
Cd 27, cd29 and now cd 28. So at least I know what my post mc cycle is.
Sending big positive vibes to everyone else waiting. I dont want to drag you down into my pit of despondency.

sweetkitty · 29/06/2007 09:19

aww ronshar so so sorry to hear that, I hate CD1 sending you some lovely virtual hugs

my periods did something like that when I finished BFing DD2, had 29 then 28 then 27 days last month (was always 28 days before) I used ewcm to predict ovulation and to be blunt we only had sex on CD10, 12 and 14 as DP has a chest infection. I know you feel like crap today but it's a new cycle but don't give up hope new cycle new time to try.

ronshar · 29/06/2007 09:36

Thank you

derah · 29/06/2007 09:36

Morning Ladies

Sorry about cd1 Ronshar. But at least the wondering and worrying is over for this month and you can have a nice drink this evening. Big hugs!

Well, my cheapie early pg tests should have been arriving today but thanks to the flipping postal strikes they won't! Oh well, at least that's one more day I won't be tesing!!! But you can betcha I'll test as soon as they arrive (hopefully tomorrow). Still absolutely no sign of af, and this is cd22 of a 26 day cycle so I really should be having sore boobs and cramps by now. Last month I had spotting from cd24 (which I was convinced was implantation bleeding!) and sore boobs for at least a week before. Ack, I hate not knowing!!!!!

Oh well, it's Friday and the sun is actually shining here (not for long I'm sure) so I guess I can't complain too much.

ronshar · 29/06/2007 09:39

Oh I have to wait till this evening. I was hopeing to open a bottle soon!

derah · 29/06/2007 09:42

LOL Ronshar. Well, it must be 5pm somewhere in the world, mustn't it?

derah · 29/06/2007 15:34

Where is everyone? Echo........

Erk, slightly awkward moment. I'm a biologist and sometimes have to work with nasty chemicals which should be avoided if you're pg. So of course, I'm also trying to avoid them while ttc, especially during the 2ww. I told my lab partner that I'm ttc and asked him to handle one of the nasty things, which was OK until today. I've changed bosses, and new boss asked me to learn a new procedure today which involves some VERY nasty stuff so I had to tell him I'd rather not do it. So he asked if congratulations are in order. I had to explain that they may be in order next week (fingers crossed!) but don't really know yet! So, I'm feeling pretty stupid... not sure if men understand these things!! And now my boss knows I'm trying. He's a lovely guy, about my age and we get on really well but I was hoping to avoid the issue until congratulation really are in order!!!

derah · 29/06/2007 19:55

Waaaaaah! I'm all aloooooone on the thread today!!

tigerschick · 30/06/2007 11:26

Well, I'm back!!

(I know you did, Scorpio, you're so lovely )

We got back on Thursday but what with a really busy day yesterday and you lot being so chatty it's taken me until now to get to post.

Well, there is far too much for me to comment on everyone so sorry if I miss you out ...

Sweetkitty - huge congratulations

Ronsha - sorry your period arrived

Scorpio - Any news?
I want words with you missie! You're always going on about how lovely it is in Cornwall and when I went it piddled down the whole time
But we had a great time all the same.

Well, after 5 months of no periods, this one is just about on its way out! That makes me cd20 if you don't count the 2 weeks of reddish-brown cm first!!! My bloody body! Can't wait to hear from the consultant. Once I've got my dc2 I'm definately stopping ttc and hopefully getting something sorted that will regulate my cycle!

Ah well, hope everyone is well and happy

derah · 30/06/2007 12:54

My cheapie tests arrived today, and I had a pot of morning pee waiting for them when they did.... BFN!! Aaaargh! I'm trying to tell myself that it's not over until af arrives, but I know it's silly to keep hoping. Another month gone.... sigh. I'm very down today. Oddly, I was more relaxed about ttc this month than past months, and earlier in the month felt it didn't matter so much if ttc took a but longer since I've got a nice new job. But I'm more upset about this bfn than previous ones.

I was out shopping earlier and all the babies and children in the supermarket made me very sad. Even the ones dd's age depressed me and I've got one like that so there's no reason be sad when I look at them!! I'm going mad, really I am!!

tigerschick · 30/06/2007 14:31

Oh derah, I'm sorry about your bfn.
I know what you mean about being mad. I've never been the broody type. With dd I was more of the mind that I didn't want to get to 50 and regret not having had children. But now I've got her I really want another one. I think tho that, for me, it's about 50/50 that I want another one for me and that I don't want her to be an only child. But then I think how much hard work it was when she was tiny and I look at friends with 2 little ones and I wonder how I'll cope, but I guess you just do don't you.

Anyway. Hope you get some news one way or the other soon, it's the not knowing that is the worst.

derah · 30/06/2007 15:03

Hi Tigerschick. I don't suppose you know where everyone else has gone, do you? Gotta agree with you that the not knowing is the worst. Does my head in!! Never mind, at least now I know where things stand this month, and I've got a bottle of wine in the fridge for this evening....

Hope your system settles down!
