Thought I'd start a new thread for those of us who are out for May. Love to see some of my old friends here as well as maybe some new ones

Arrh littlemissmischief thanks...am hoping I fall into that category . Think am due Saturday but will probably test friday as I promised to keep another MNetter company. Not long to go now I suppose.

1littleprincess how very cute of your littleone... my ds hasn't started talking about another sibling yet but am sure it will be on the cards soon. Hoping to beat him to the punch line IYKWIM

Twoplease & wzmo ? they are not really interested in retroverted wombs/titled wombs in pregnancy because by the time they have the weight of a baby in them, they straighten themselves out (that was what I was told anyway) I, in contrast, had a very good labour (and it was my first) contractions from 4am but managed to sleep on and off until 9am, at midday was 4cms dilated (happened to have Dr appointment), 3.30pm had urge to push, went to hospital, was told I was fully dilated and DS was born at 5pm without any drugs or assistance ? yes, I was very, very lucky!!

Wzmo ? thanks we tried for quite a while for DS and I became a bit obsessed and read EVERYTHING I could poor you it really annoys me that people dare to ask questions about having children, it is so invasive (and often hurtful) ? in the real world that is, Mumsnet is another story

Well done for holding out Lilypie fingers crossed!!

Yellowflowers ? I know what you mean, before I got pg with DS I convinced myself every cycle that I was pg by symptom spotting

Littlemissmischief ? sounds good I?m confused, why is there no point testing until around 12/10 if you ovulate now? On 14dpo you have a 74% chance of getting a BFP if you are pregnant, that would be around 1/10?

Waitingtoexhale ? big hug, sounds like TTC is getting to you, it is hard isn?t it? let the oats look after you!

1littleprincess ? sorry to hear that you don?t feel well hopefully you?ll feel better soon and that the BDing paid off

Well ? my temps are rising here in a predictable post Ov manner but we?ll see if that keeps on ? realistically, only one BD was well timed and it probably would be a good idea to have a proper cycle before getting pg but?.. I would like to be pg too had some mid cycle spotting so that bodes well for returning fertility!

well i suppose it is a normal thing to ask the kid question i am sure i have asked it a few times myself . I am due for AF on the 28th keep my fingers crossed but most likely with our LO not sleeping much at night don't think it could really be possible, hahaha. Hope everyone else is doing well today.

I'm out ladies AF arrived this morning

Good luck to the rest of you!!!!

LovelyMonster · 18/09/2008 08:26

Sorry to hear the the witch got you lillypie Put your feet up tonight with a big glass (bottle) of wine and relax. You are still in for a June bubba - just late June like me! Good vibes coming your way

littlemissmischief · 18/09/2008 08:43

Lilypie sorry hun - Take LMs advice and get the wine and chocs out

MrsMcJnr - Im just going on what happened with my DS I didnt get a positvie for 4 weeks after I concieved with him so assuming it would be the same next time round, I could test before (and probably will) but just thought if i hold off till then and ive had no AF it seems more likely.

Princess - Hope you feel better soon x

Waiting2Exhale - everything crossed for you!

BFP List
mrsleroyjethrogibbs BFP
Febes BFP
Tyaca BFP

Forgot to add, I spoke to Tyaca on another thread and she got a BFP so added her on the list x

bamboostalks · 18/09/2008 09:05

Thanks for all these stats. Have not been posting much as trying not to obsess (fat chance!) I am ttc no 2 and actually on cd 26 so that bumps me up the list. Have fingers crossed this time, was convinced that I had an ovulation bleed. Now feel really negative and think no chance. Am going to start clomid and IUI next month so in a way want to get cracking. Still a flicker of hope though.

lillypie · 18/09/2008 09:18

Yep still in for a June baby and tonight I can get stuck in to some of that lovely wine that I brought back from France!!!

Everything crossed for those of you testing at the weekend xx

rosyleecupoftea · 18/09/2008 10:51

Hi all. Have been folowing the thread avidly altho not posting much as was in first half of cycle so not much to say.

On day 13 now. OPK was positive yesterday and managed to find the time and energy to bd yesterday and the day before so maybe will be lucky this month. Mind you, I did all this last month and nothing came of it!! I'm going to try really hard not to think too much about the whole thing in the next two weeks. We're going to center parcs for the weekend next weekend so hopefully that will take my mind off it.

Good luck to everyone else.

madmarriedNika · 18/09/2008 11:15

Hi all,
Rosylee I'm just a day "ahead" of you- but not using OPKs or anything so just banking on ovulation being somewhere between 10 & 17 days (I have regular 28 day periods fortunately)- so have been trying to BD every other day or more over this period- CD14 now... But DH, DCs & I have all had horrid cold so missed 2 days of BDing...hoping to make up for it this next could of nights (although DD seems to have other ideas). Think DH thinks xmas has come early, he definitely likes this TTC lark!!

Trying also not to obsess but sure once we are on the 2WW it will be hard not to. I find the wait so hard but determined to resist testing early...don't want to waste any more money on tests!!

Huge hugs to those of you who've been TTC for a good while, I can't imagine how hard that is- although a very close friend has been trying for 2 years, finally started "investigations" and fell pregnant the same month as they did her 21-day bloods- isn't that ironic! But she found it so hard trying for that long...at least she's got there in the end and very fortunate to have avoided needing any more intervention...

Good luck everyone, sending lots of baby dust to you all x

littlemissmischief · 18/09/2008 15:01

Can I ask... Do you get lots of ECWM after you've ovulated to or is it usually just before? x

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 16:46

Hey girls

That Clearblue trial test was lucky for me today

BFP at 13DPO - says Pregnant 1-2.

I am in total and utter shock (in a good way !)

littlemissmischief · 18/09/2008 16:51

Wow Congrats Jools! May you be one of many on this thread

wzmo · 18/09/2008 16:57

CONGRATS EVERYONE WHO GOT A BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yellowflowers · 18/09/2008 16:58

wow - greats news jools1 xx

rosyleecupoftea · 18/09/2008 17:21

congrats Jools, thats fantastic news.

littlemischief, I think you get EWCM just before you ovulate.

JLo2 · 18/09/2008 18:33

Hi all
Trying not to be too obsessed at the moment so just lurking on thread, but had to say Congrats to Jools1 That is fantastic news and so exciting especially as it's DC1.

OP posts:
bamboostalks · 18/09/2008 19:35

Congrats! I have mine in the drawer all ready to go, am determined I will not use it foolishly...Come on, we've all been there!!

lillypie · 18/09/2008 19:39

Brilliant news Jools xx

1LittlePrincess · 18/09/2008 19:39

Evening All

Congratulations Jools1 and Tyaca on the BFP's

Still feeling sick as a dog today, and to make things worse I had to go for a blood test today as have been suffering with mega migraines since M/C

But hey at least I managed to get the important BD'ing done

LMM....Prior to Ovulation CM is watery, stretchy and clear. After Ovulation, it becomes thicker, less stretchy and cloudy. HTH

x

1LittlePrincess · 18/09/2008 19:42

Should have also said that the stretchy, watery, clear CM is the one that sperms like, and live longer in x

silentlywondering · 18/09/2008 20:38

Can I join you?

TTC #3 CD 23 of 31 day cycle 2 prev m/c feeling tired and head achy not got usual pmt symptoms yet so fingers crossed.

twoplease · 18/09/2008 21:07

congrats jools1 - what great news!
