hester......form one old timer to another.......feeling a bit better today....have been feeling at bit ....but cd4 and here we are again! I had almost convinced myself that I was preggers this time! so when af arrived in barcelona......I was really !!

41yrs next month!!!! it would be great to have a birthday and a pregnancy together

jeddah · 25/10/2004 11:55

tessiebear would you mind to tell us a bit about your stats this month. Because you got a BFP it would really help us to have an idea about what you did this month on what days etc etc etc How long have you been ttc is it your 1st pg.....did you do anything different this month??

I have decided to try out my dh theory this month and that it ........to stop temping and charting.....listen to my body and have regular bd through my cycle (I have been charting for 11 months!!!!)and have got nowhere!

anyone have any advice/opinion on this one!??

jeddah · 25/10/2004 11:56

jeddah
Have you tried using persona? It really helped me when I was ttc no 2. I conceived ds when on the pill so had no idea when I ovulated etc. Persona told me when I was ovulating so we could focus our efforts at that particular time of the month. I fell pg within one month of using it. This time, I have had three cycles including a m/c but am continuing to use persona. Might be worth a try.....its more user-friendly than opks and charting and the test sticks double up as opks anyway. Best of luck...

pandagirl03 · 25/10/2004 12:29

hi mommyd

we been trying since jan this year. still think im dreaming really strange feeling doesn't seem its real.

JiminyCricket · 25/10/2004 12:33

Hi everyone, can I join too? Ttc for third month, have dd 13 months and really impatient to have another..AF 8 days ago. 1st month had me running for the loo feeling sick so i was sure I was, but then bfn. What was that all about? Good luck and babydust to all x

MommyD · 25/10/2004 12:37

Hello JiminyCricket - welcome.
Ever since AFs have returned to normal after arrival of ds2 I feel sick every month before AF arrives (in fact I feel sick for most of my Luteal phase!) It is no longer a sign of pg for me.

Tessiebear · 25/10/2004 12:37

Jeddah - more than happy to share my stats:
This is my third pregnancy. Have two DS's aged 6 and 4 (fell pg with them first month trying - DS1 only BDed once in the whole month - afterwards i realised it was mid-cycle. With DS2 i bded twice right in the middle of the month)This was my 1st month ttc no.3. Came off the mini pill on CD1 (16th September) and pressumed (like last time) that i would OV around day 14. From the day AF finished until about day 15 we BDed on average every other day. From day 16 until day 22 we didnt BD AT ALL (exhausted) Didnt get any OV signs - just pressummed i had. Then suddenly on CD22 got the "eggwhite CM" THought Shit we havnt BDed for a week because we thought the moment had gone, DH came home knackered on CD22 so no BDing. We BDed once on CD23 and then we had a really busy weekend and didnt do it again for another week. So basically i dont know exactly when i OVed - pressume about CD 24/25 but we only did it the once ... hope that helps Jeddah p.s - the Cervical mucus thing is a great way to know when you are fertile - i would BD every other day/every day from when you notice "egg white CM"

Welcome JC sorry that af arrived. Sad but true that we have all had that at some stage if not every month that we have all the symptoms of being pg and then BOOM af arrives and we are supprised. But we are all in this together and we are here to support each other. Best of luck to you.

TB how long is your cycle if you oved that late?

OP posts:
moschops · 25/10/2004 12:51

well here we go. i have a feeling this will be a lucky thread for us.

i am convinced that i am gonna fall pregnant this month simply because it means i will be heavily pregnant when i go on holiday next year!!!

and also because with Christmas and New Year only a couple of months of away we all be watching our friends get blind drunk while we stand around smug at our pregnant condition. (and probably off our food with morning sickness!!!)

well i am on CD3 and it's wierd but this feels like the first 'proper' AF i've had in years. heavier than usual, and pains like i had before i went on the pill. i've been out of tune with my body for so long i'd forgotten this is how i used to feel.

Congratulations to Pandagirl!! what a brilliant start to the thread.

Tania2> i think you've brought some special antipodean luck onto this thread!!!!

Bibi20 · 25/10/2004 12:59

Congratulations Pandagirl! Any top tips - did you do anything different this month?!!

Congrats to Tessiebear and the others on TTC 11 - have to confess to being very of you Tessiebear - a hat trick of getting pg first month of trying - wow! Can you share some of that babydust with the rest of us?!!

I'm cd 12 of 11th cycle of ttc no.1 - dh is away from cd16 to 20 - yes, you've guessed it, those are my usual ov dates... ho hum.

Lots of luck and babydust to everyone on this thread!

Sorry Bibi that dh is away during your ov that sucks. My dh will be away this w/end on a bucks w/end and you guessed it that is when iam due to ov too. i have told him that he cant leave till late afternoon on Friday so we can get some bding in while ds is having his afternoon nap then he has to be back by sunday same time for another sesion while ds is asleep. Its the only way we can do it cant first thing in the morning as ds comes into bed with us around 3am.

Congrats Pandagirl!!!

How many graduates do we think we'll get from this thread then - I think the bet was on 6 for the last one.

I'll guess at 8 graduates from this thread so thats 1 down and 7 to go - oh please please please please let me be one of them!!!!!!!

Oh and Tania2 - I know it's been a long hard road and seeing as you started such a lucky thread!!!!

Bibi20 · 25/10/2004 13:10

Thanks Tessiebear!

Tania2 - dh is on a boys weekend too! Will work on the early am bd on Friday and grab him when he gets back on Monday evening as well! Don't care how hungover and tired he'll be!

bonniej · 25/10/2004 13:16

I'm ttc too so would like to join this thread. A bit of a novice as haven't a clue when I ov or anything like that. Thing is I seem to have become addicted to taking pg tests. took loads last month as I was sure I was pg, had all symptoms and was a week late. I'm not due on yet this month but have already tested twice, both neg. last one was a week ago. I've now got really painful boobs and feeling hopeful. If the weather wasn't so bad I'd probably go out and get another test can't seem to help myself. Went out and had a lot to drink last night so in a way hoping I'm not.
