Trying to concieve 11 thread for October!! For us Unlucky ones on 10

[cp3]

CD 5!!! Here we go again, not that im sure i want to after the day ive had with the kids.

I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THIS THREAD!

But how completely fantastic that we now have graduate no. 5 - congratulations, LipstickMum, you must be thrilled. PLEASE send some babydust my way.

I can't believe we only started this thread two weeks ago and already we have five BFPs. It really must be the luckiest thread of all time.

Shely - you have been to hell and back, and I truly hope life starts picking up for you now. You deserve lots of serenity and happiness from here on in. Best of luck with your appointment; let us know how it goes.

Sallie - .

As for me, I'm CD2 and feeling very perky. CD1 is always very tearful, but then I pick up for a couple of weeks - the sun is in the sky, I'm back on the agnus castus/starflower oil/grapefruit juice, and next week I'll be babymaking again. Tra la la. Anything is possible until day 20, and then I start going insane, walk round with a face like a slapped backside, and demand chocolate at all hours. Until then, you may enjoy my company

Is anyone thinking that this thread is getting too long?? it seems to be taking ages to refresh.

Has anyone heard from BeckiF lately??? I think we are missing some people has there been more graduates and i am not keeping up???

CONGRATULATIONS LIPSTICK!!
so pleased for you ,you must be really excited
Hi to all those ttc, haven't read all old messages today just skimmed. Feeling low as did another pg test today(CD27) and BFN. now started spotting so i guess AF is packing her bag ready for a visit
Can I add myself to the ttc no.3 list please MommyD. Have ds1 age 6 and ds2 age4.
Guess I sound silly with such high expectations for my first month ttc, but i caught straight away with first too and naivley thought it would be the same again...30 now though so perhaps age has something to do with it?
Runtus ,I could do with a nice big slab of choccie cake with all the trimmings please!
Lipstickmom Thanks for the b.dust!xx

yes - thread's too long, but it's LUCKY!!!!

Hi Tania, I was wondering about BeckiF - think she's on holiday?

You're right about the length of the thread, but don't you think we should wait for our sixth graduate before we start another? (That of course depends on how long the next graduate is going to take - come on, ladies, jump to it!)

If I'm outvoted, should we agree who starts the next one (and so gets double helpings of babydust)?

TTC #3 !!!! WOW 7 of us!
Sexyandhappy (ds dd) 36
Bagpuss30 (? ?)
MommyD (ds ds) 36
Tessiebear (ds ds)
sallie (ds dd)
pamina3 (dd dd)
spykid (ds ds) 30

Thats right Beckif is still on holidays. my memory is up the duff pitty i'm not...ha ha.
If we start another thread how would we decide who would start the next????

Dont for get me!!! The starter of the thread. You could start another with a list of graduates so far and those left to test. Im testing next weekend but may test this as ov'd early

Wow what a long thread!
Can I join in? I'm a long term lurker with three children and am now ttc #4! Brave or what. Well, haven't actually started ttc yet, but had my Mirena removed this morning which is a good step. If anyone knows what happens now (am i likely to get af immediately or does it take a while?) please let me know!
Congratulations to all the graduates, hope I become one too (but not in October I don't think!)

onamnbreakbut - do you mean you are trying for #3? Do you have boys? girls?
I'll also add mariella and change it to trying for 3+ i.e. LOADSAKIDS!!! mariella - what have you got already?

LipstickMum, Congrads [smaile] you must be over the moon.. Hope all goes well for you and baby..
mariella- Welcome, Hope you have not long to wait.. Sorry i don't have a answer for you but somone will be along soon to fill you in
onamnbreakbut- Good luck on testing ..
spykid - Sorry about AF
SHELY - Good luck with your test

Welcome all the newbees and good luck in TTC Baby dust to all xxxxxxxxx..

CD28 tested this morning and got a BFN, i have the acon test does anyone have any view on these?? Also my last cycle was long (36 days) so i may have ov late.. Getting fustrated now!!!!

Hope all you lot are well and happy...

any symptoms minnie? If your last cycle was 36, testing on 28 is prob way too early. What's the average length of your cycle?

Sorry, have a DS (4) and a DD (2). 22 months between them and thank god I'm never doing that again . I am also 30 (or twenty ten as ds says) and would like to think I'm as fertile as I was 5 years ago but feel that I'm probably not.

Spykid, sorry about the BFN , better luck next month.

Sallie, (((hugs))).

I have a quandry for everyone on no 3. dh only ever imagined us with two children and so after dd was born everyone kind of assumed that I wouldn't be having any more. Obviously we have changed our minds now but yesterday mil was poking around our spare room (in which we are currently storing some old baby stuff) and started saying to dh "ooh, XXXX will thake that cot off you..." This has really started me thinking now and I'm really worried about how they will take our news (should it ever happen). Also, sil has just bought a new big car and I know this will be the precurser to them having their second child. I'm concerned that she'll think I'm somehow stealing her thunder and also that mil will think the same, yet, I really want to have another baby. dh's side of the family have a bit of a history of long running disputes between family members and I don't want to start another but knowing my luck it most probably will. Obviously this hasn't happened yet but I just wanted to know how you all would handle it as I'm not good at this sort of thing. Also, no one knows that we are TTC (you lot are priviledged, lol) and dh thinks it would come as a shock to them.

bagpuss - your in-law family situation sounds sooo similar to mine. My sil is also about to pop with no 2 and had huge issues with us having ds (our first) as she wanted to have the first grandchild etc etc. Am frantic at work right now but wanted to say completely sympathise but you have to do whats right for you. They will come round in the end!!!

So many girls on this thread now. Welcome Mareilla
My Stats
ttc for 10 months
Have ds 2 next month took (several yrs to get pg)
age 27 Dh just 30 together for 10 yrs
Suffer endo seeing a natrapath and taking lots of yucky herbs 1st month on that stuff (fingers crossed)
CD18 either 2dpo or 9dpo ????
Live in Australia.

Sorry, have ds1(7), dd(4), ds2(14m). I'd love to have a girl to give my dd a sister but don't really mind.
Bagpuss, in a way it is nice of you to worry about what they think, but isn't this one of thos decisions in life where it doesn't matter what anyone other than your dh and you think? I'd just enjoy the bd-ing and not worry about the rest of the family! If your SIL gets pregnant at the same time that is great, the cousins will be really close.

Bagpuss - I have family troubles too, but having a third child is ONLY my dh's and my business, NO-ONE else's. If you want a third child - go for it, and I am sure you will deal with any (unlikely?) fallout. Think how much you will end up resenting family members in years to come, if somehow THEY prevented you from having that third child that you both wanted so much? Go for it girl.
On the fertility thing - I conceived both ds v v quickly (when I was 33 and 34). Certainly don't worry about that at 30!!

thanks Bagpuss.
I know what you mean, my family just presumed we would stop after 2 kids, and if it ever happens with no.3 there will be a few shocked faces!
I found out my sister was receiving fertility treatment after trying to conceive for year and a half last month. This coincided with us ttc no.3.
I too didn't want to look like I was stealing her thunder, (and also didn't want to upset her in case we had news before her). After discussing it with dh i decided to tell her we were ttc, and that it was coincidental that it was the same month that she told us about her news. She was quite tearful, but she was really glad we had for-warned her. We haven't told anybody else about ttc, but i am glad i stopped a potential upset . HTH!

Bagpuss, obviously I don;t know your inlaws so I can't guess what they will say but to be honest, if you and your dh are both of the same mind and want another baby - sod em! It's your life and your choice, if they have a problem with it, then it is exactly that - THEIR PROBLEM not yours.

As you may be able to tell, I am in quite a stroppy mood today (hormones me thinks) so I'm taking myself shopping now........bye all!

Good night girls iam off to bed ( 11:10pm here) will catch up on all the chat tomorrow. hope you all have a great day and evening.
Happy bding everyone.

MommyD, had a mc in june so AF is all over the place at the mo.. But my cycles have gotten longer, what day would you test if you had long cycles?? maybe i should leave it till after the wkend

Minnie - I would not test until day 36. But that's rather a long way off, isn't it? Do you have ANY idea when you ovulated this month?

Bagpuss, My DP brother and his wife are married for 2 years no kids and when i was pg last time i could feel the tention between us.. I felt that they were trying and we put the spanner in there works.. Cause were not married we should'nt be tryin for a baby.. The tention was unbarable somtimes.. But it ened in MC..
My own sister is PG well nearly ready to go (heads ingadge) now i can't wait for that.. and i don't feel jealous of her but i am happy and can't wait for the new arrival.. a brand new baby..
