I'm also ttc no 3. on CD 1, due on Sat but not feeling too hopeful, no real symptoms yet!!! I have 2 DS's DS1 4.4yrs and DS2 22 mths.

Glad to see there are lots of others craving that magic number 3!!!!

hello mammajamma!

humphreyscorner - my chart although I went to gp today and I now know my chart doesn't mean anything he's sent me for blood tests as its not normal to be without af for this long, I'm glad he's v good and understanding, am still feeling v PMT and I did cry

HumphreysCorner · 03/09/2008 20:15

Hi mammajamma-wishing you lots of luck.

insy-your temps are definitely pre OV ones as they are fairly low. Hope you get some news from the GP.

terrier-sorry the witch got you. Keep on believing.

Big wave to everyone else.

Hi everyone, just re-read my post, meant to say i'm on cycle 1 of ttc no 3!! Must read before i post!!

Insy - hope you get some good news form the docs.

I'm still feeling too normal so i def don't think i've been lucky this month, but it's only the first cycle so I'm going to stay positive!!
I'm going to try to hold out until Saturday to test....if I can!!!!

katylou25 · 03/09/2008 20:59

Congratulations Babyinarms. Well I got my af finally - day 47 so not really sure whats going on there - will see if this monh is more normal!. Not holding out much hope for no3 now - DH now working away mon-fri so never gonna see him to even attempt it! Whats the chances the right time of the month will fall nicely over the weekends.....

babyinarms · 04/09/2008 16:15

Hi all. unfortunately AF arrived this mornibg and i did another test which is a BFN.
Little fella failed to make it all the way.
Like you katylou25, DH works away alot too so will be dificult to time things here too!
Am taking a month out to let things settle down and will try again in oct...good luck all! xxxxxxxxxx

HumphreysCorner · 04/09/2008 17:27

Oh babyinarms-that is so Hope next month is your month.

katylou-sorry AF got you too. You need to send in as many troups as you can over the weekend as they do live about 4 days. Hope you get the timing right. Difficult though as timing is crucial methinks.

Hi all

insywinsyspider · 04/09/2008 19:47

congrats mammajamma!

sorry to hear your news babyinarms - hopefully see you back on here in oct x

katylou - are you charting or using opk's? if you did the deed mon am, fri pm and wk end then only 3 days gap and as humprey says sperm can live up to 4 days... there is hope! I'm trying pma whilst I wait for test results... can you tell?!?!

mammajamma · 04/09/2008 21:14

HC - just used the superdrug own brand. I used it for my last DS and got an early result so thought i'd try again! Very surprised. My DP's still at work aswell so haven't been able to tell anyone except you guys!

babyinarms · 04/09/2008 21:32

Thanks all, good luck with all future tests will be peeking in to see how ye all progress xxxxxxx

scully · 05/09/2008 12:01

Sorry to hear your news Babyinarms Congrats to you Mamma, how lovely for you
cd25 for me, so shall update you next week with what's happening with me

madmarriedNika · 06/09/2008 13:07

I'm out this month- AF arrived yesterday. Had suspected it was on its way as had the normal cramps for 48hrs before but still did two pregnancy tests on the weds & this !!

This month am feeling hopefuly as get more chance for BDing...so have joined the June thread.

Babyinarms- saw your news on the other thread, so sorry

Mammajamma- also saw your news- yippee You'll have at least a month's head start on me with coping with 3 under 5 so will be looking for tips! Keeping everything crossed your lil' bean sticks.

How's everyone else doing? Good luck!

insywinsyspider · 06/09/2008 21:17

I got af today I know its not the usual response! but first one since ds2, I think I am example of how stress can affect this ttc lark, literally 2 days after gp booked me in for blood tests I get period, now I'm not sure if I should keep my appointment next week and get blood done anyway for peace of mind or if I assume its game on for ttc....

anyway hope you're all having good weekend

insywinsyspider · 06/09/2008 21:33

ps how long should af last for? just put in info into fertility friend and its predicting my next af date, which is laughable cause only had one in last 4 yrs! but it has af down for 17 days, surely its not that long!?! I'm trying to remember from GCSE biology but isn't is about a week?! can't believe I don't know this

HumphreysCorner · 06/09/2008 22:25

insy-brill that you have AF. Nah, it will only be 4 to 7 days usually and I personally wouldn't bother going to the Docs. FF will update itself.

madmarried-sorry the witch got you.

The witch is due to fly in next Wenesday/Thursday-hope she doesn't bother!

Big wave. Night all.
