Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

oooh thanks Jools. Well here's hoping. Hope your pregnancy is going well xx

Hey ladies,

How were your weekends?
funtime the SATC film is Sex & The City! It's such a fabulous girly flick especially if you love the series.

Who is going to be brave and start the new thread? I would but have no idea how to do the link etc!!

Think we need a new one now ladies, what do you think?

you're all very welcome on the July thread I started if that helps.

Not really my decision any more , but for what its worth, I think you are better off having a thread that is not time-boxed to June, July or any other date, but a place for what is now a lovely little group of virtual friends to come and support each other

I think also, that some people who have been TTC for a long time are getting a bit at the dated threads, interpreting them as somebody talking about actually planning for a June / July baby (when they just long for a baby anytime) rather than someone simply picking themselves up after the 2WW and moving on to the next cycle.

I'd suggest something along the lines of "A support group for GFJ swilling test destroyers"

Do what works best for you If you want me to start a thread and link it, I will happily do that

sure, no probs. I like having a few threads I am on - feel I am boring different people rather than the same ones every time. And this is a lovely group.x

A link would be great if any of you are starting up a new thread. I really look forward every day to reading what everyone has been up to, knowing that there are many more out there trying just like me and hearing all your do's & don'ts, count me in for the July/support group thread yellow so sorry it didn't work out this month July will be a great month to have a baby..fingers/toes/legs & anything else that can possibly be crossed for us all that next month will be a happy one

Yellowflowers - I am the same !! Have ended up joining 3 antenatal threads I tend to stay logged on and dip in and out all day whilst at work though - tis good to talk

Hello all Am spotting a few friendly names on other threads I'm lurking on . So the following might not mean an awful lot (but am trying to limit my AN/PG threads until I'm certain this bean is sticky!)

Jools - you and I are exactly the same size....but am put to shame by your fitness regime (I spent yesterday afternoon asleep on the sofa)

Ilove - an early mc like you've had is soo common. Remember it's only cause we have so sensitive tests that we even know. I know that doesn't make it any less painful, but when I had mine at 9 weeks, they said that a single mc made no difference to the likelihood of future pgs..

Yellowflowers - sorry you think it was a CP - but summer babies are lovely

How's everyone else? GFJ at the ready?

I think the thread has a bit more space before it fills up -we can have upto 999 posts so we can all hang out here before Nelix and her magic touch sets up a new one

Hello everyone!

All sympathy to you, ilove and yellow, so sorry to hear your news.

As I said, DH and I are visiting my parents (in Germany) for a few days at the moment, so I've been out of touch - hard to get on MN with mum hovering over shoulder! They don't know we're TTC and have been giving me puzzled looks when I refuse wine! Anyone else feel reticent about letting people in real life know you're TTC, especially parents? Thank heavens for MN!!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, as this is my first cycle off the pill, but I'm 7 days post OV and had quite a surge in my temp this morning. No other symptoms whatsoever, though, and I suppose body clock or thermal regulation could be messed up by travelling. So, bated breath for another 10 days or so...

So glad to be part of this thread, especially while I'm away!!

Good morning ladies!
sparky didn't realise we could have that many posts on a thread, makes sense to stay while Heeby is away.

Well I'm SSSOOO happy today, my fertility monitor said "peak" which means I am due to OV in the next 24-36hrs, yay!!!!!!! So relieved its unbelievable.

existentialist i totally understand what you mean, my MIL keeps saying "come on now, we need grandchldren!" but can't tell her or the whole world would know and not really up for that kind of pressure, plus we feel it's our secret to tell so will be lovely to tell people when we are actually PG rather than having them speculate every month about if my period will actually arrive!!

PS the reason I'm so relieved is im actually on CD21!!!

Wanabemum - good news about OV'ing - get busy girl

Sparky - I know exactly what you mean and fully intended to lurk, but very quickly got to the point where I simply HAD to talk about what is going on to someone, and since I have told very very few people in RL, MN was the best solution

ExistentialistCat - I am jealous of your Germany trip I studied modern languages to post grad level and loved my time studying in Regensbury - worked out in Stuttgart for 18 months a few years ago and go back most years to see friends and do Christmas shopping in Leipzig

existentialist & Wanabe I'm the same 2 of the lads that my DH works with are trying and although I know their wifes I don't know them well enough to tell them we are too, they all get so disappointed every month when it doesn't happen & with lots of people asking all the time if they are yet it doesn't help. We have a 10yr DS & thought that he would be our 1 & only so the family have given up asking over the years 'when r u going to give him a sibbling' now that we trying its sooo hard not to tell mum about it, but want to wait till we can say 'I'm PG' rather than just trying......so know exactly how you both feel

hey everyone! good to catch up! I have been a busy bee.....joined a gym and got put through my paces today loL! have a v good trainer who is taking it easy with me and pregnancy thankfully! good to see everyone here! yes damn it lets fill this thread lol!!!!

Woo-hoo, wannabe, go for it!

jools lol at "Regensbury"!! What a wonderful part of the country to have studied. I'm sort of German (both parents are but I grew up all over the place, feel most at at home in England) so these trips aren't exactly exciting - more a matter of feeling sad that my folks aren't closer so that I can just pop in for a cup of tea. When every family visit has to take at least a few days at a time, the pressure is on.

Thanks for the thoughts on letting other people - especially family - know whether you're TTC (hello smiley, from one cat to another!). I sometimes feel like I'm being a bit mean, witholding this information especially from my parents, when they would sooooo like grandchildren (not that they'd ever actually admit it). But I couldn't face the expectation.

I've had a tiny bit of spotting today and temps remain more elevated than they were just post-OV. Trying not to get my hopes up but failing miserably!! Not sure how/what to say to DH - have stuck with "the signs are looking good but of course we can't be sure of anything" when what I really want to do is to squeal and ask him over and over again whether he thinks I might be pregnant. Good to have MN for that!

It occurs to me that getting so excited even about the vague possibility of being pregnant when I've only just come of the pill might grate on anyone who's had problems. I do hope it doesn't. I'm very well aware that I'm being presumptious and impatient!

Hi Existentialcat - no, that's not so. I mean you getting pg wouldn't stop any of us doing so. best of luck x

Hi Guys, hope you've al been very busy.

Now I have a feeling in my belly but think I might be getting excited yet again! I feel tight across my lady garden area and a little tender! probably too early blah blah but needed to share . I have bought my preg test all ready for when the times right although I did promise myself I wouldn't this time until I was late as I normally use them before I'm even due

Good morning everyone!

Existentialist don't be silly! We all love hearing about other people's excitement, makes us all realise we're not alone! Even if people don't say it on here, most of us get very worked up during the 2WW!

Hi bubble that's exciting! Keep us updated!

Everyone I'm so happy, can't stop smiling because actually think i may be in with a chance! We did lots of BD-ing last night (sorry if tmi!) and this morning I have OV pains (i think ) it feels like a stitch on my right side.
Yay! 2WW here I come!!!!

nelix im very proud of your fitness efforts!!

Hello everyone,

Just checking in as been away in France for a few days for a wedding. Yellow and Ilove I'm really sorry to hear that things haven't gone your way. Fingers crossed that Jools and Sparky can throw some babydust our way - both of you I hope you are feeeling good and not too pukey!

Welcome existential - I know what you mean about dp's "let it just happen" approach. I deal with it by saying "yes, yes of course" and then continuing to pee on sticks and access fertily friend in secret

Well I am CD14 and according to ov sticks I'm not oving yet, but didn't start till day 12 because we were away and I forgot so might have missed it. Dagnammit. Had loads of EWCM and usual zit outbreak and have been BDing anyway so we'll see. I had a hunch I was oving later than day 14 so this may confirm although I still hae a 28 day cycle. Wierd.

So tired today, poor ds was up and down last night with teething (poor thing has just got his first at 13 months!) - I think several are coming at once. Remind me again why I want another one so much???

As its the first of the month thought I'd re-post our dates.

Hi all
Can I add my dates to the list, we've been doing loads of BDing over the last week just to try & catch the right time, I havn't started on the OV testing yet as I didn't know they existed until I came onto MN (1st month of trying) but I'm the same as you mylittlebubble, everything seems tight, getting lots of niggly pains where I havn't had them before, (.)(.) are sore and a stubben headache that doesn't want to go away, but it could be just a big build up for my AF as sometimes I'm only 3 weeks at the mo...but still can't help getting excited, looks like most of us are due to test/get AF around the same time

Grr... DH has pissed me off and to prove a point I am in a sulk with him. The big problem is I had EWCM today so think I might be ripe tonight!!Having a glass of wine to cheer myself up and get over it, it was a silly arguement.

Aw, cyber-hug to you bubble. I know it's horrible when you're in the middl of that sort of situation, but, in my case, when it passes I can't help but laugh at myself for letting my CM dictate our relationship like this (ie if EW try to be nice at all costs!!)...

Hello wasabi - nice to know that I'm not the only one using that strategy, especially since it feels faintly deceitful. Lol at weeing on sticks etc!

Thought I'd add myself to the list. Not sure if it's in any particular order so I've just stuck myself at the bottom:

Oh Bubble, hope you've sorted everything now. I do understand your irritation. My OPK test came up positive this am along with rivers of EWCM and DH is going to his work party tonight so what is poss my ripest day is gone.

Don't want to say that though as want to avoid DH feeling like a baby making machine. Oh well, I will jump on him tomorrow night and we'll see what happens! TBH, I'm not too upset as I wanted this month to throw every thing I had at the process (temping, OPK's etc.) to see when I ov'd and it looks like it is later than I thought which does explain a few things.
