Thought I'd start another thread as the last one was SO successful but is starting to take a while to load and I keep losing my place in it!

A quick update on my stats - on CD39 of third cycle since getting AF back after DS was born in April 2004 (10.5 months old).

Have endometriosis and PCOS so have decided to let nature take its course over the next few months and if I fall pg naturally, then so be it. If I don't, then we'll try clomid again (worked first time for us with DS).

Am still breastfeeding, so have erratic cycles - they were always long (so far have had AF visit twice and had 50 and 42-day cycles).

No idea when I ov - may try OPK's next month if no success this month (and don't think I am pg atm).

Think that's it!

Lots and lots of babydust to all the ttcers and lots and lots of babyglue to those who've just had BFPs (and more congrats!). xxx

congratulations sparkly. if you conceived in Barcelona, maybe you could call it Cruz?! Seems to do for either gender

Katierocket (& anyone else with more knowledge than me) - I'm now on day 11 of 25 day cycle & am still having dark brown spotting. like I said I've never had anything like this b4 mid cycle. i'm not due to 'o' for about a week, so can't be linked to that. Any ideas?

Did you have your interview, Hula, how'd it go?

Thanks for the positive information about DH's sperm count. I am going to the doctors today to find out about my smear test so I will ask when I get there. When is your test due for? I can let you know tomorrow if you want.

Congrats, Sparkly

sparkly · 24/02/2005 11:45

Thanks everyone. Unsurprisingly, I'm not getting much done at work today. Want to tell dp but feel I want to wait until I get another positive tomorrow morning when I test again. It's not sinking in yet!

Haha ... definitely not be using Cruz as a name (that's shocking!).

We will have to wait for 8 to 10 days to get DH's sperm test results. I suppose I wouldnt be so worried but it all comes down to his reversal of a vasectomy about 8 years ago and his 22 million count then. I worry with these things that sperm counts can drop so long after the reversal. Anyone else had this experience.

Many congratulations Sparkly!. I had a faint positive for about a week after first testing with daughter no.1, and it didn't turn darker until about 10 days after. How exciting! Bet your heart was racing!

Congratulations Sparkly xxxxx

I am ok. Trying to live normally for the next 8 to 10 days until we get DH's sperm test results. What a brave man to go through that for me. Just hope there are some wrigglers in there. I will put him on the zinc as suggested. Does this increase sperm even if there isnt any there, although I shouldnt say that yet as I dont know. I am looking on the down side as usual, always do.

Sparkly congratulations you lucky thing. I can still remember how I felt with my first daughter when I saw the positive line. It is a feeling like nothing on earth. It is unbelievable for a few days. You seem to be living a dream, but is is real.

Anyone else out there on day 9 of their cycles. I want to find a buddy mate. Bedded last night but a bit early I think. I think we might just be hitting the spot and will have to bed a bit more!

Sallie · 24/02/2005 12:15

Congrats Sparkley! I would get yourself one of the Boots digital tests. No faffing around with looking for faint lines - they come up with a definitive yes or no. And I used one at cd 24 out of a cycle of 28 days and got a bfp....

Toothache · 24/02/2005 12:15

Good luck Worriedbev!

Sparkly - I did 8 tests over 5 days before I finally beleived it was true! lol.

sparkly · 24/02/2005 12:33

At least it's not just me who needed more convincing than just 2 faint positives! It really hasn't sunk in - due at the end of October? About a month after DD's birthday then. God, can't wait to tell DP but am gonna wait till I see him - it's not an over the phone moment! You've all been so supportive but don't think you've got rid of me yet ... until I'm convinced you're stuck with me!!

Fastasleep · 24/02/2005 12:36

I'm gate-crashing to say congrats Sparkly! We're waiting for ya on the due in October board lol ...

Sorry I disappeared from here girls (if any of you remember me, munzie, tan, hula etc I remember you!) I decided it was best to just forget about trying whilst still er going at it... so I rudely disappeared, I still lurk lots though! Best of luck to every last one of you and buckets of dust!

HunkerMunker · 24/02/2005 12:41

Sparkly, have an enormous on my face! Congratulations hun!

Luna, hope that getting and staying pg is easy for you this time - can understand why it's a very worrying time for you.

Glad your hormone tests were good, katierocket. Fingers crossed this is your month too hun.

worriedbev, hope your DH's test results are good - have my fingers crossed.

jessicasmummy · 24/02/2005 12:51

SPARKLY - U DID IT!!!!

I had 3 very faint lines when pg with jess..... then i left it a few days and hey presto, a darker line appeared! You ARE pg - HUGE congrats! I'd say you were due first week of november sweetie xxxx

Fastasleep · 24/02/2005 12:55

I'm about 6 weeks up the duff now munzie...as we hadn't been doing very well that month it was a bit of a shock! Lol... Some of you guys are going to have to graduate to keep sparkly company if she's due in November!

I'm such a lurker I'm sure I'll be back to congratulate some more people soon lol

jessicasmummy · 24/02/2005 13:00

right with ya fastasleep - i love popping on here to see how everyone is getting on!

sparkly · 24/02/2005 13:09

You're all so lovely! Still in complete shock that it could have really happened. I've tested so many times this month and really expected nothing this morning. My dd, who is 5, asked last night "how do babies get into mummy's tummy?" - maybe she knew!!! BTW, I struggled with an answer!

Another test tomorrow morning to fully convince myself ... then maybe I'll believe it!

fresco · 24/02/2005 14:40
