TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

[Sallie]

Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

welcome ellimum its great here!

Hester how many dpo are you?

cockenzie have you that persona bought yet?

me ... I am cd27 and ov on cd19-20 and so I am 7-8dpo!
Af arrived this time last month after ov same cd (small hope building!)

Dare I talk about testing!...... I will leave it until 14dpo thats if af hasn't arrived!

sorry posted twice....dam computer internet connection is crazy!

Sparkly....how many dpo are you?

Cockenzie, just read your post of 12:08:07 on 5th Jan - sorry for the delay in replying!

Yes, lovely to be on a thread where someone else is also ttc while bfeeding. You weren't ignorant re clomid - I wish I'd not needed to know anything about it! But I'm glad it worked

As for oving, I have no idea when I do (even if - cycle is all over the place...). I'm actually waiting for a date for a hand operation, so won't be properly ttc until after that (though if I get pg before, I'll just not have the operation - it's not life-threatening!). Hopefully it should be in the next couple of months - and I've just realised it'll mean typing with one hand...slow MNing - eek!!

Tan! I wish you all the luck in the world....sounds so positive

Have resisted so far because I know it's too early but after Sallie's post about being just a day ahead of me and getting a BFP I feel like I could and it would be ok. CD25 and my cycles are 28-30 days but don't know exactly when O'd as not using an opk at the moment.

I feel stupid even posting this because I know I should be grown up enough not to do it till Monday. ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!

sparkly - in that case none of us are grown up!! lol. If it was me I would have tested already if I'd bought them so you're already doing better than me!

oooh, jedds - fingers crossed for you. So exciting, every day from now is one longer than last month. Sending you lots of babydust ~~~~~~~~~~~*

Sallie - when I was pg with DS I had cramping the first couple of months around the time that AF would've been due and the Dr told me this was quite normal. But hope for your sake it passes soon and you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Still so excited for you!

Gosh - how much chat today; can only just about catch up!

Bonkerz - did you get my CAT?

Still too early in cycle for Ov yet, so quiet here.

RudyD, am now officially as bad as you because I tested and it was a BFN and believe it or not I'm totally down about it. Only the first month of TTC but I guess I had hoped for a miracle.

Sallie - when I was pg with my dd, I actually had severe cramping for the first 3 weeks or so. That said, I didn't know I was pg because I had given up all hope. I didn't worry because I didn't know, IYSWIM. I hope it eases soon so you can stop worrying and start enjoying being pregnant.

Aww Sparkly, it's too early to tell yet!...I'm just as bad if not worse than you though, trying to stop myself testing - I'm making my dh buy the test so that it's not too early, I've also demanded a pink one because ds's test was a clearblue and he was a boy so... how sad!

Good luck to everyone waiting to test!...And thanks for cheering me on earlier Hester - I forgot to say! We now have wipes thank god lol I must get some new clothes I'm so of you guys and your boots.. most of my clothes have holes appearing in them and......and...I'm being forced to go to asda in search of new ones!! !

LOL sparkly Though I hate to tell you that you have to test much earlier to be as bad as me . Fingers crossed for you that it is just too early. Suggest you give the other test to DH until Monday!

Rudy thanks honey for your thoughts!

I really am trying not to think abut it, though this is hard.

arhhhhhhhhh! my dh is so cute, came home from work, had a lovely tea together and we were sat by the fire and I said very quietly....'I should have had my period today' and he said 'yes I know I didn't want to say anything to temp fate been thinking of it all day' god love him! He's so despirate for a child.

Sparkly it sounds like it is too early yet give it another few days.

sorry not turning into a geordie 'about' even.

nothing wrong with geordies though!

COCKENZIE DON'T BUY A PERSONA FROM BOOTS!!!!!! TOO MUCH DOSH!

PUT AN ADD ON MUMSNET IN THE 'WANTED' SECTION! SOMEONE MAY HAVE FINISHED WITH THEIRS AND WILL SELL IT TO YOU. yOU WILL PROBABLY GET ONE FOR HALF THE PRICE!

I HAVE JUST HAD A LOOK ON EBAY AND THEY HAVE NONE! AT THE MO

where is everyone?????????

Not too hopeful now for Monday but who knows. I guess because I just got pregnant with dd after all my previous fertility problems that maybe I thought it could happen so easily again. DP is much more relaxed about it all but he's never been through this before. Anyway, we're off to the Lakes this weekend for a little break so hopefully that will take my mind off everything. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I will be testing first thing Monday if no AF so watch this space.

hi ladies

CD14.i dont understand it. i was expecting today a rise in temp and a line on stick detecting LH.well, NOTHIHG happening. i am puzzled

ok. i will put an add in mumsnet 'wanted ' section for a persona.i dont know what to think about my body to be honest. mayb i dont ov this month?

sparkly - hope u get that BFP
hunker - good luk with ur op.how often do u bf (night/day)?

question for yous: if i dont get any mucus, would it mean that i dont produce any regardless i am bf? and if i dont produce any cm, then wee fishes cant swim and conceive??

is mucus to do with hormons?if you dont get any you dont ov?

morning all, not much to report here, apart from the girls the factory side now think i'm weird as i've just spend 5 mins in the loo, cos i feel really sick and brekki went right thru (i know TMI!) - think it's prob to do with teh angus catus, can u take too much of it? i'm using a diff one this month (it's 500MG per tab, - the last ones were 400, the 400 said two tabs twice daily and this 500 says one tab twice daily, but i've been taking two i know v silly but I want to hurry AF along - any other ideas on hurryin her up?) so now it's back to feelin sick and wishin I didn't take the damn things!

Jeds - OOh I'm soo excited for u hon. a whole week to wait thou, (do u think u'll be able to last that long?) is it normally best to wait till 14dpo or can it be done b4, (well obviously it can be but would it show BFP if u were pg?)

Cockenzie - not sure on the mucus thingy, isn't it if u have none/little u can still get PG but it's harder? i'm sure I've read that somewhere. (the first 4 months I was like u, lookeda and read everything on the net, would sit there for hours researchin! lol, now thou i'm usin the persona and forgetting the rest!)

ooh and DH is def back next fri, and is going to put me back on the interent at home! yay! lol

hiya again, I've just created a chat thread mainly for u guys here.

just to say.. thanks

Good luck with the waiting jeddah

Fingers crossed for all the other early testees too.

Enjoy your weekend sparkly.

CD10 here so not much to report.

jedds, your dh sounds so sweet. What a lovely man.

Sparkly, so sorry about your bfn but IT IS TOO EARLY. Try again in a few days!

cockenzie, lots of fertile cm is a great sign that you are ovulating, and lack of it MAY indicate a fertility problem. But there are plenty of women who don't get much fertile cm and do still conceive. Some of my friends have sworn to me they never spotted any and still got pg really easily. So don't worry about it overmuch. It may well be affected by bf. You can try to increase it by drinking lots of water (if you are dehydrated it reduces the moisture in all parts of your body) and some women swear by grapefruit juice, cough syrup and evening primrose oil (wouldn't recommend the cough syrup if you are bf).

fastasleep, lovey, I've been there with the holey clothes and I sympathise. But your day in Hobbs boots will come - by the time you are my age, your children will have grown up and left home and you'll be basking in freedom and disposable income. I was about to say, while I am at home with a screeching tot with no money to call my own. But then I worked out that by the time you are my age, MY child (the one not yet conceived!) will have grown up and left home! Eek, that is so scary! Jedds, marinda, help!

hualbaby! Have put tests in post today! Hope they help! Goodluck!
