OK well not sure my title is good enough really and feel honoured you let me start the thread. So heres to a new month and new start on my cycle! TTC is going to be a very nervous and aprehensive time for me but i know oyu are all in the same boat and with your support im sure i can do it. So im on day 1 of my cycle. Should ov on day 10 although am not certain if D&C has mucked up my ovulation but will guess that. Am almost thinking that im ttc just to lose another baby and i know thats wrong but cant help it. With 2 mc already its hard to believe it will ever happen for me and DH and im almost convinced i will never see a healthy happy 12 week bean. Ok enough doom and gloom.

HERES TO ALL OF US WHO ARE NERVOUSLY TTC AND MAY LUCK AND FAIRY DUST SHOWER OVER US IN THESE COMING MONTHS!

dqueen - i was thinking about all that stuff (how terrified i would be at a BFP, but how gutted i would be if it wasnt - yet again, too) only natural.
bella - love it that you're even obsessing mid-film!

dyzzidi · 03/03/2005 14:34

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

george32 · 03/03/2005 14:45

Bella23 · 03/03/2005 14:51

George stay with us
Its Mishi and Dyz who are the testers!
Rom - abolutely a soap opera and lets face it this plot needs a lift - come on give us a BFP!!

Bella23 · 03/03/2005 14:52

Actually shoot me for being rude !!!
Its Mishi and Yingers who are the testers!

Nemo1977 · 03/03/2005 14:54

arghh no i dont wanna test..pmsl
i can live in naive bliss of a funny test for the min so might be might not be is fine...lol

Will prob wait till morning need as much hormone as possible

Bella23 · 03/03/2005 14:58

Mishi - hats off at your restrain!
You need to let us know first thing in the morning puuuurlease

Nemo1977 · 03/03/2005 15:00

will do

also to let u all know i have put a pic of my ds on member profiles think its called my little one

Bella23 · 03/03/2005 15:07

Nemo - just checked him out, what a cutie!

yingers74 · 03/03/2005 15:26

ok, didn't get the chance to test as I had to finish reading a book for my reading group tonight, how rubbish an excuse is that but true, I just couldn't face going in there having not read it!!!!!!!! Will do it in the morning and let you know. Am excited and equally feeling sick about it.

george32 · 03/03/2005 15:35

I know you are just trying to build up the suspense really!!!
Good luck for the morning

Just getting far too excited (and confused!!) about this. God help everyone when I eventually have something to test!!

Lots of happy babydust to everyone xxx

Nemo1977 · 03/03/2005 17:46

right have retested and got a BFN so yingers its down to u hun
I am not too upset actually as there is still no sign of af and got all my pg symptoms.
Also with both ds and pip when i tested i got bfn then 2 weeks later bfp when they had been there all along
so we shall see maybe the test was picing up a tiny iota of hiding bubs...lol

dramaqueen72 · 03/03/2005 17:54

ooooooh go test! please! i'll send you more tests so its no cost to you.....go on, please! hormones concentrate if you dont go to the abthroom for a few hours too, so no 'magical' thing happens over night!
george is it you thats on almost my cycle? if not who is ti!!!? god this thread is so long already!!! help!
I'm on cycle day 12, (wow i thought it was less than that! nearly 2ww!!!) got two days of line but not quite dark enough on my opks......so anyday now. abit disappointed it not RIGHT NOW!!!LOL but bd-ing just incase.
bella tell me again what day you on?
hurry and test you girlies, cause i cannot wait all night, i'm off out for meal.

george32 · 03/03/2005 20:53

Sorry Mishi . I'll keep my fingers crossed for hiding bubs!!

Sorry DQ not me, I'm on day 20 with no ov yet (arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks for the tests Bella, have done one already - still non the wiser but made me feel like I was doing something! . Found the instructions on the internet but don't think my line was dark enough for anything positive. Can anyone tell me, is it a good sign if you get a line, whatever the shade? Does it get darker the closer to ov you get? Or does it just not mean anything if the line isn't darker than the test line? Did you already ask all these questions Bella, don't think I was paying attention!!

How exciting - looks like weve just graduated to a proper ttc thread instead of miserable after m/c thread
exciting but scary - feel wont cope with anxiety if and when get BFP
also have to do bding - dh at present unattractively flu ridden
only cd7 thou and dont feel itll happen this mth anyhow
good luck to all those further on than me
dq - some emergency baking called for!

dramaqueen72 · 03/03/2005 22:59

welcome to the mob prune girl!!! i have those tests!!! i do hope they work!!! i'll hopefully let you know!
George, oh i thought i was on the same cycle as someone..not you then!!!
opks -well there are two types of people (IMO) some people ALWAYS get a line, whatever the day. or some are like me (and most people i think) and get a faint line faint line then a dark line and then nothing.......keep testing, following the instructions(!) and hopefully youre line will get darker. mind you, just to scare you, a friend once tested twice the same day, first time faint line -just hours later dark line.hmmmmmmm. i always wonder if i should do that! could be expensive tho!!!! dont forget, opks show the LH surge - this hormone surge cause the egg to be released, so opks show positive 24-48hrs BEFORE you O. still with me??! i hope O shows soon for you, you have LONG cycles, you must be very patient!!
nemo, so sorry it bfn again. hang in there!!!!
hereshoping -nice to see you here

sistermoon · 04/03/2005 08:01

just popped in to say Hi - hot to sure about all teh jargon - Have checked on fertility friend adn ov should have been last weekend but no signs - but have had some yesterday (cd18)I think so I thnk I am on for a 35 day cycle this time who knows

Bella23 · 04/03/2005 09:31

Monring all
WOW this thread is really growing. Hereshopping great to have you on here with us.
DQ - am on CD20. Now you know me and my hit / miss / or maybe OPKs, well I think I had ov last weekend and made sure we bd for england so fingers crossed. Am keeping everything crossed. Have promised that the earliest I am going to test is the 15th March so need to keep my sanity until then!
Mishi - hoping AF doesn't show
Yingers - come on woman put us out of our misery, test !!

dyzzidi · 04/03/2005 09:32

Wow

I would be lethal with 50 tests!!! that would send me into overdrive i would be peeing on sticks like there was no tomorrow.

Very Cheap though!

Slink · 04/03/2005 09:56

I have been avioding these threads as they do tend to upset me, but hey ho... I have been trying for 2yrs i have a beauty dd who is 4 in may and would love another bundle of joy..(even though for the first three months she had colic and drove me nuts..)
Anyone who cares to remember me dh still the same but really wants one to come from the air i think.
Q: I did accupunture when ttc no1 and fell pregnant it really did hurt hated it but wondering if i should go for it again?

Good luck to all though xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bella23 · 04/03/2005 10:16

Slink - welcome
I have been thinking about acupuncture, think I will give it a go if not successful in the next few months.
If it worked the first time I would go for it if I were you
Dyz - agree on the having 50 preg tests in the house, Lord would never get me out of the bathroom!

george32 · 04/03/2005 10:25

So many cautious TTCers!!
Hello to Slink & Prunegirl.
Hi Sistermoon - sounds like you are in a similar place to me with your cycle. I'm still holding the record for the longest one though!
Hereshoping so glad to see you here, think we are all wanting, but dreading, that BFP for the same reasons as you. I'm hoping that we all get p/g at a similar time so we all still have each others support moving forwards too. I'm thinking that time moves slowly now - what will it be like for the first 12 weeks. Agony I imagine.
Thanks DQ, darkish line yesterday so who knows!! Did you have a nice meal last night? Any special occasion?
Yingers - any news????

romilly · 04/03/2005 10:47

hi everyone - rom here, dashing in and out (no time as usual) just to say thinking of mish and ying.
nice to see some new faces, hi prunegirl, slink and sistermoon.
