Hi

Right that's it. I've been brave enough to start a new thread to look forward to a summer baby next year. I really don't think I am going to be successful for the spring. But at least if we fall now, hopefully we can have summer 2008 off to enjoy the sunshine.
Does anyone care to join me?

libralady , if it had to come at least it has come early and you will soon be back to trying again IYSWIM.
got another high day on my monitorso am hoping that dh will carry out his duties later , best do cos he didn't last night, whats the point in peeing on sticks every blooming day if he is going to refuse to put out on the bloody high day! Result - one huge argument and 2 very tired grumpy people today! Hope everyone else is having better luck with their dh's . Think mine still believes that the stork brings babies

welcome shreksmissus - of course you can join us - we seem to be a smaller thread than the September one, tend to dip in and out of that one. Bit easier to keep up with everyone on this thread I think.
Don't let 9 cycles out you off - it too me 10 months last year - happened when I finally stopped expecting it to happen - typical!Dreading it taking so long this time though - will go mad if it does - am halfway there now .
Have you been doing any monitoring with opk's or BBT?might help you identify if and when you are ovulating which I am sure is half of the battle in this game.

Morning ladies

I agree that it seems nicer over here as it is a little quieter so easier to keep up with than the September thread. I used to keep up with the monthly threads but my RL was non-existent then Sorry to see so many low CD numbers (I've moved everyone on a day - hope they are all correct) Summer bambinos all 'round hey?

Welcome to anyone who has joined since I last posted, it's nice to have new people to chat to as everyone seems to have read or heard slightly different advice and, let's face it, in this game, knowing lots can only be a good thing

Good luck everyone.

Morning All, I am getting to that part of the cycle where much BDing is required!!

According to the babycentre.co.uk ovulation calender my fertile time will be between Sunday and Friday (nothing like a being specific ) so I am going to be checking my cm and getting down to business!!!

The only snag with this plan is that dh works night shifts (7pm-3am) so any BDing needs to be done when he gets in before dd wakes up at 6.30!!! The novelty of sleepy sex wears off v. quickly!

Hi all

Just got back from M&T group and learned a tale that I thought I'd share with you:

There is a lady who goes to the group who has a ds, turned 2 last week, and a dd, 1 in December. We were chatting about children, ttc etc. She told me that she had seven failed IVF treatments over 8 years. They decided to give it a rest for a bit after the seventh one and within a couple of months she got pg naturally! Then, no sooner had she had her ds than she started trying again and she got pg naturally after 4 months.
A success story that made me so I thought it might make you too.

Hope everyone is happy and well.

tigerschick · 31/08/2007 12:26

Doh!

I copied and pasted that from another thread and it didn't copy the s!
So it should look like this:

Hi lissie

Looks like you are coming up to the 'busy' time in your cycle. Good luck for a Summer baby.

lissielou · 31/08/2007 12:38

thanks, ive started avoiding the month by month threads. always wanted a summer baby anyway

tigerschick · 31/08/2007 12:42

I think that most people on here find the monthly threads a bit depressing, moving from month to month ad nauseum. At least here there is a wider window of opportunity.

welshprincess · 31/08/2007 12:44

7 ivf cycles. am i naive (sp) or is that a lot? glad to know that after all that it just sometimes happens.
lissielou and missush- happy bd! you know you loveit!!

tigerschick · 31/08/2007 12:57

AFAIK seven is a lot.
Not been down that route personally but people tend to talk about 2 or 3, not 7.

Roskva · 31/08/2007 19:12

Moodymoo, I find that seduction works better than asking dh to perform on demand , and I have to say, I find it more fun too

It took nearly 3 years of trying to conceive dd, so don't despair. I hope it happens quicker than that, for everyone, though.

Roskva · 31/08/2007 19:16

Oh, forgot to ask - I'm still struggling with terminology: what is AF, BD, BFP? Sorry to be a complete numpty

lissielou · 31/08/2007 19:21

af: antie flo/period
bd: baby dancing/sex
bfp: big fat positive (pregnancy test)

not a numpty at all, it took me ages to get the hang of it, had to do a LOT of mumsnetting

Roskva · 31/08/2007 19:22

thanks, lissielou!

moodymoo · 31/08/2007 20:15

evening ladies.
Lissie - bet you lasted longer than you thought you would.Good to see you back though.
Think it's good having a few of us around the same cycle days - will be having mass testing or mass in 2 weeks time.
Shreksmissus - sorry to hear about your m/c - I know how it feels as lost my baby in march (not a m/c, had to end pregnancy due to severe problem), couldn't wait to get back to ttc, had a 5 month wait before I was physically able so had time to deal with the emotional side of it (i think ) but both of us are so worried that there will be problems in any future pg's. Not kidding myself that the future will be easy but I am so sure that getting pg again will be a big healer for me and my dh.Good luck to you
Roskva- have tried the whole seduction thing but dh just didn't pick up on it. Sometimes I just have to spell things out to him. He has redeemed himself though now - he couldn't deny me any longer
Going to sit back and enjoy the weekend and what will be will be, dss is away and it is just the 2 of us with no plans...
Hi to the newbies

lissielou · 31/08/2007 20:28

its nice to be back (well, if im being honest i'd rather be on an antenatal thread, but hey ho) love you guys anyway cant believe its been 2y ttc!

moodymoo · 31/08/2007 21:06

I know, can't wait to graduate to a antenatal thread but until we do we are in the best place. Can't believe you have been trying for 2 years, it must be really hard keep going - we will all get there and when we do we will cherish every minute of it,more than those lucky ones who drop on in their first cycle [envious]
