May is an excellent month to have a baby

[yellowflowers]

A continuation of this thread though all welcome:

To start off, TTC1 Month 6 period due 21st/22nd Aug.

"lounging in bed" - is that a euphemism?!

didn't know how else to put it

I like it! Seems a bit less high-pressure than BDing...

Hi all.

FeelingDeviant - LOL at "lounging in bed", but sounds good if you have just ovulated; perfect timing!

HNYF - sorry your period turned up. What a pain in the bum. (Sorry to anyone who prefers AF but I can't stand it - also can't stand BD so you'll see me typing 'sex' instead, or, on occasion, DTD.)

Wildfig - I've had a few of those "never mind, maybe next time" days ... best way to be, if you can manage it.

I'm back from my scan and, although it's not sparklingly wonderful, it's not terrible news either. My womb lining is up to a healthy 1.19cm (0.01cm up from Monday) and I have a follicle of 9.1mm on my right ovary and one of 8.2mm on my left (nothing bigger than 6mm on Monday) ... not brilliant but better than when I was on low doseages of Menopur and better than I ever got on Clomid. So it's carry on with the injections and scan again on Friday ...

x-posts anniemac. 21 cycles?! Are you getting help or are you letting nature take its course? 21 is ever such a long time, I really feel for you.

Hiya
TTC no. 2, cycle 8, cd 15 & early miscarriage last month, at 7weeks,so fingers crossed for this month.
Like Tigerschick, I've stayed away from these threads for a while as, too, was getting me down. Feel we are doing as best we can to get pg but every month is fruitless.
It's tough to stay positive sometime.....but we will!
May a good month, DS born May 06 so sounds good to me!

Hi everyone,

glad you started the thread yellowflowers - hello to all from other thread and those on this too.

I am on 4th cycle TTC No 2 - have a DD who is 4 in December and am due on Bank Holiday Monday - same day I go on hol with family so will i resist testing before? no way! you will all have to stop me!!

Can I hedge my bets and join too? I gave up BF my 11 month DD almost 3 weeks ago, and got an array of TTC products.

Cervical Mucous, Saliva Ferning, OPK and Temping all point to Ov on 25th July, so I should presumably test around 8th August.

So, I figure I can be hopeful till then, but seamlessly join you ladies if it is not the one..

Can I join this thread.... i am cycle 14, TTC2. Have been temping for two months.

Welcome everyone and hello again twoplease

Hi All,

am also back after a poor result last month. So glad you started this new thread Yellowflower. Its great to see you guys from last month if you know what I mean.

Me, am on CD4 but its all been a bit weird. Period kinda arrived on sunday but was nothing like normal (very light) and my temps have remained above the line. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hoping this weirdness won't mess up this months cycle as am all ready to go next week when I would normally ov.

If cycle continues normally, due to test on 27th August. Will also test with everyone else and wait til the 1st Sept. Have wasted far too many EPT...need help to stop me this month....

Here we go JLO2 I really do not need 6 pregnancy tests....I really do not need 6 pregnancy tests....I really do not need 6 pregnancy tests.....hehehehe

Morning and hi again WTE,

I've just realised that my DD is spending 3 days with her nanny just when i expect to OV - hooray, lots of free time to 'lounge'
have a good day all

Can I join in here? Need some support. CD7 TTC no2 Cycle 7. Took 18 months for no 1 to come along and things seem so slow again. Period due around 22nd to 25th.

I have 2 June children and would like my 3rd to be born n a different month if possible!
Tigerchick - I am on Menopur for the first time too!

Hi ladies

miloopy - Do you have PCOS too? I hope you have more luck with Menopur than I did. I started on every-other day doses and went to everyday mid-way through my first cycle. Do you have a pen or are you 'drawing-up'? The scans are a bit much but, on the bright side, I had a smear test the other day and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as they used to be

I had another scan today and there's no improvement since Wednesday.
My consultant is on holiday until Monday so I've been told to continue injecting everyday and go for my scan as planned. Hopefully by the time I go my specialist will have had a chance to talk to the consultant and they will have a plan of action for me ... we shall see.

Hope everyone else is well and happy - and not getting rained on too much, if at all

Tigerschick, this is my first cycle on Menopur, so not sure if is working yet. I am injecting in to my stomach, which isn't that bad. I don't have PCOS but they haven't found any reason for me not getting pregnant. I alrady have 2 children but would really like a third. Sorry to hear Menopur isn't working for you, hopefully your consultant will have a positive plan of action. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining, this will be my 1st month really ttc no3, after 3 months of carelessness (sp?) lol.

Not gonna test early again ever it has thoroughly done my head in this month. Good luck everyone.

Hi BambooStalk and AbstractMouse and welcome...the more the better . Abstract, what CD are you currently on and when are you due AF this month?

Not feeling very well at the mo, i think | may have a touch of the flu which is kinda good as DH has taken over my chores which has allowed me to check up on you girlies. Bit quite though I see. Must be because its quite early days for us all. Not much to do but wait for that coverted egg to hatch .

Will check back later this evening, which is my usual time to surf the net. till then adios

CD 1 thanks for asking w2e, did a test this am which looked positive to me then got af 5 minutes later lol . I am so sick of looking at tests, no pigging more!

Oops due af 29th so I will hold out untill the 1st with you lot if af doesn't get me first.

How's everyone doing? I am away with work later this week - just when it's the best time

Morning all. Glad to see we have another convert to the 'DO NOT TEST until the 1st Sept' brigade. These test manufacturers are making a fortune out of us
I guess everyone will be busy this week and next
Yellowflowers - how long are you away for? Fingers crossed it's not crucial days.

Hi ladies

Oh, yellowflowers, that's a pain in the bum!! Hope you are able to catch the right day even tho.

miloopy - I'm injecting into my upper thigh. I find it really easy - surprisingly so actually. Hope you are getting on OK with it, are you being scanned regularly? I'm scanned on (or as close as possible to) CD8 and then everyother day after that.

I'm off for another scan in a bit ... fingers crossed for me please! Tho I think it might take more than that.
I got a bit tearful last night. I promised myself that I wouldn't but I just couldn't help it. DH is really good and totally supportive but his way of coping is just to say "if it happens, it happens." I know that this is the most sensible way to be but I just can't bring myself to think like it all the time.

The thing is, it's not me that I'm sad for. I'm very happy with DD and don't feel a desperate need for another child (tho obviously I do want one) it's DD I feel sorry for. I watch her playing in the garden and ache for her to have a sibling to play with. She is such a wonderful little girl and has quite a few friends, but friends go home. It especially breaks my heart when she stands at the fence watching next-door's kids playing; they are 10 and 13 so it isn't often appropriate for her to play with them but she just stands and watches.
Oh bother. I'm off again. I need to get my head straight before I go out.

Hope everyone else is OK today. I'll report back later.
