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.

mommyd, I thought it was the end of sep start of oct.. and i though it was a week ago as well... I really don't know.. Will have to wait for the dreaded AF to arrive i think...
Going to get a lipstick for next month..

it really is sooooo good to get a load of the chest!! i feel better for that don't know what cause i'm in a right mood today !!!!
Thank you girls

I'd say that if you ov a week ago, Minnie, then I'd test next Weds. at the earliest....
What makes you think is could have been either of these times?

i did a test on line and gave the end of sep start of oct and CM came last week (watery) The last time i waited till day 40 and got a strong pos, A week b4 that i started getting symtoms.. So i will leave it till after the wkend.. Thanks mommyd Your a great help..

Same boat here... everyone assume we're done (I always said I wanted 2 and the decision for 3 is very recent). I think MIL will be supportive (she had 3) my mum will not be but I don't care... she and I get on all right but we are very different!

What does your cervical discharge look like when you are pregnant... does anyone know?

Sallie, Mariella, MommyD, Spykid, Runtus, Minnie1 and Pamina3 (hope I've got everyone there) , thank you all for your comments you have really cheered me up. I know it should just be mine and dh's business but as they are the only family we've got nearby I don't want them to think I'm doing it deliberately IYSWIM. My second pg was met with much the same reaction really as I fell pg just as sil was having her first baby, although everyone knew we were trying, no one was very supportive. Anyway, it feels good to get that off my chest, so thank you

so does anyone know what happens when you take a mirena out? you all seem to know so much about ovulation! I kept having periods while on the mirena (but lighter) and would normally be due one in the next few days anyway but I dont' know if that is changed by the removal or not.

Bagpuss, why should your SIL's babies/pregnancies be any more important than yours? I think that is such a sad attitude of your family its not like its a competition or anything. Go and get pregnant, we all think your babies are VERY important here on mumsnet and will be very pleased for you!!

Hello to you all. I am spending a fortune on pg tests at the mo and am considering buying them from medisave, does anyone know if their tests are good?

Sexyandhappy, I am in the same situation, already have DS 13 months and am ttc for a second time. Neither of our families have a clue and would freak as they think we don't have the money. But we are managing fine and what we do have is a lot of love to give and we think that that's most important. Because we know our families will be against a second baby we have decided not to tell them til after the 12 week scan. It will be interesting to see their faces when I present them with the scan picture!

well said Mariella!!! I know exactly where you are coming from, Bagpuss. My sil didn't speak to us for about 9 months after we told her I was expecting ds. Noone in dh's family is expecting us to have a third as we have one of each. These sorts of things aren't an issue in my family but in his they are big time. There was an issue with SIL over what we called dd as she wanted to call her dd (born a year earlier!!) that name but didn't in the end and I am sure there will be an issue whether she has a girl or boy. No idea whether they are stopping at two but she is quite a bit older than me....anyway just wanted to say that this situation doesn't seem unusual at all, sadly.

Mariella , you have hit the nail on the head, dh's family are quite distant at times and his sis does get most of the attention. I think that dh is quite hurt by this and has just learned to be really independant.

Sallie, we must be living in parallel universes or something! The old one of each arguement rings true here too. Names are another thing. My ds is named after my dad and sil's ds after her dad (insert eye rolling emoticon) but thankfully we have never argued over it. How awful for you to have your sil do that though, it must have been upsetting .

It's getting really hard to keep up with you lot - I think a new thread soon would be good but really want to see if we can hit Hesters estimated ssix graduates first! There are quite a few of us getting towards testing time, so... ! CD24 here....

Big Welcome to Binatracy, Chuffed and Mariella!

Huge CONGRATULATIONS! to Lipstickmum x

Shely, you've been through so much and have an amazing ammount of courage, what a lovely mum you are. So glad you have a fab dh and hope you get the baby you long for real soon {{{hugs}}} x

Cobweb, no need to feel guilty - with you for the long haul through the next few days - hang on in there x

Sallie sorry about AF {{{hugs}}} and stupid job , hope it's not long before you can go off on maternity - +++++++++++*

Hi to everyone else, really enjoying being part of this thread !

ok ladies - think i am going mad. This morning there was no way i was pg.
This afternoon i have had something that i have only had twice before (both times when i was pg) and that is a strange, heavy, dragging sensation in my bbs!! i'm beginning to think i might be pg!
But i can't be - this is first month of trying for #3 and we only bd on cd10&11. I am 9po. Anyone else know THAT feeling that I am talking about?

MommyD, I have exactly the same feeling, although AF is due a this time next week and I'm confused as to whether my boobs are like it because I'm premenstrual or pregnant, arrgh!! I can't wait another week!

Wow Lipstickmum; congratulations!!!

GeorgesMummy - I never have any soreness or fullness in bbs before AF. That's what got me thinking!

Forgot to say, big congratulations to Lipstickmum, you must be delighted. Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Wow MommyD, you could well be pg then, when is your AF due, can you test yet?

Not going to test until mid next week (really). i can't remember, when's the earliest you can test?

Sounds like you'll be testing exactly the same time as me, fingers crossed for 2 BFP's! I think the earliest you can test is 3 days before af is due. After testing too early the last 2 months though I promised myself I would wait until a few days after af is due but it's so hard waiting.

MommyD, sounds a promising symptom!!! fingers crossed!
After reading too much into every symptom this month and testing too early TWICE(Doh!) I urge you to sit on your hands and wait it out

hi everyone
ive been ttc for a while now and af is due in bout 3 days or so time,for the last week ive had cramp like feelings really low down in stomach,never had it before and getting worried something not right,anyone got any ideas as to what this could be??? its not painful

I don't believe I have managed to go from 'there is no way i am pregnant' this morning, to 'i think i might be' this afternoon!
I am not testing until next week. I will give my AF three days to arrive and test on the third late day - if she is indeed late. That is what I promised myself when ttc#3. (I can't help remembering falling pg in month one of trying for #2 It can't happen twice!)

Hi binatracey and welcome!
Sounds like the cramping could be implantation of the egg into the lining of the uterus. This is a GOOD sign so don't worry.
Do you have any other symptoms?
