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!

Just pooping in to say hi to Cadmum. I see that you are not using opks / ferning / persona etc - I guarantee that once you've been on this thread for a few days you will be hankering after some kind of device to spend some money on. We love nothing better than a test of some sort.
DQ - will think of how we can test the 2 week wait.
Nemo - still keeping all crossed that you still get a BFP. this waiting is sooooo unfair on you!
Dyzz - sounds like you should be coming up to ov - go grab your DH
Well ladies, feeling very upbeat coming up to this weekend when I will be testing. Just preparing you for the madness as I think I am going to find it a bit of a nightmare - don't say i haven't warned you!!

Bella23 · 08/03/2005 17:42

HA HA .....POPPING IN !!!!!!!!!!

Nemo1977 · 08/03/2005 17:50

oo bella im still resisting the good old gadgets barely mind..pmsl

george32 · 08/03/2005 17:55

Welcome Cadmum, this is definitely the right place to be as we are all going through the madness! Fortunately we seem to go barmy in a kind of relay!!

Dizzi, I think it is BDing wkend for you!! Sending babydust & keeping my fingers crossed for you. Think it could be mine too (well it has to be sometime - I'm feeling left out with all this BDing going on ) so I'll need some of your stamina DQ!!

Still keeping my fingers crossed for hiding little ones for you Mishi.
Bella, are you still playing with your gadgets? Thought you had bought the Persona to replace them?? I've been driven mad with these OPKS!!

Managed to cheer myself up today by having half of a back tooth fall off (yes, the shock & surprise actually stopped me sobbing this morning!!). Finally got an emergency appointment this afternoon (really hard when you're not registered) went to go, & had a flat battery on the car - arghhh! Managed to grab a friend to help me start it and then raced across town in order to have my teeth drilled. Haven't been to a dentist for about 15 years so terrified esp when the words "root canal" were mentioned!! I sat there shaking but I now love my new dentist as he didn't hurt me once (although I'm sure it wasn't necessary to use 3 different types of drill) and he offered to jump start my car if it wouldn't start. Look a bit wonky from the injection though!!

A big welcome to Cadmum - everyone is great on this thread and we are very happy to have you join us. as someone else has said - i dont think having three kiddies already is any reason to stop ttc'ing if that is what you want. so sorry to hear you've had 3 m/c's, and the last being twins as well i think its time your luck changed - barrels of babydust to you..

mizz - thanku for the dust. d/h is working late tonight and has already been telling me on the phone he is knackered - i am getting horribly worried its all going to go wrong again

nemo - CD34 for u 2morrow!! i am so impressed with how cool calm and collected you are managing to be. sore boobs too, hmmmmm - you better have some of this too

Hey all,

Hope you guys are all doing good. I am trying not to think about my pregnancy until I am over 7 weeks (the date of my m/c) or start having some proper symtoms. I know i am very lucky to be pregnant though and hope that shortly more of you guys will be joining me! Babydust and love to all of you.

yingers74 · 08/03/2005 21:59

oops sorry for the double entry

Bella23 · 08/03/2005 22:11

Thanks guys, a bit gutted but you gotta carry on don't you !
Rom - I am going to read instructions on persona tonight.

munnzieb · 09/03/2005 08:51

rommilly - well I thought we could talk! lol. we've had a few good ones yes, althou we seem to have one really good thread, one not so good one good on and so on.

Bella - have u used person b4? I def recomend them, i'd be sooo stressed without mine!

yingers - fingers crossed for you hon, take things easy, and i'll be sending you lots of sticky dust! (not sure on the pic for that thou - we'll have to make one)

george32 · 09/03/2005 08:54

Oh Bella, I'm sorry. Is it definitely AF? Could it be implantation spotting instead?

Hi Yingers, thanks for the babydust glad eveything is going ok for you. Keep us updated as I love to know how our first sucess story is progressing. xx

Rom, did you manage to catch Mr Rom? I hope he manages to find some energy for you.
FF has thrown a spanner in the works for me today as it now says I ovulated on saturday. Hmmm, is this the 2ww for me now? V Confused.

Welcome Boogie, lots of support & madness to be had over here!!

munnzieb · 09/03/2005 09:07

bella- as a point of to note, this happened with hester - she spotted (well thought it was AF) about 4 days b4 she was due, for 2 days then stopped, tested when AF was due more to get it out the way either way I think, and it was a BFP so until the witch is flowing in full steam as it were there's still hope, so fingers crossed for you.

Bella23 · 09/03/2005 09:57

Thanks ladies, yes mumzieb until the old witch comes properly i suppose there is still hope but i think I kinda know this month it is not to be.
Off work with coldy thing. Not really bad but couldn't face being at work.
Yingers - great to hear fom you and that all is going well, hoorah
Read all the instructions on persona last night so ready to rock and roll with that.
Hope all you ladies are well

Nemo1977 · 09/03/2005 10:17

hi all
bella with all my pgs i have still had a light af..with adam i didnt know i was pg at all but just thought it was a extra long af..i bled for 2 wks but i was actually 9wks

well as for me i did a test this morning and
it is a comfuddling one i didnt use first pee and have got a light pos but one of those ones where u think its there but are not a hundred percent sure but i am also getting tummy pains...sigh
Will test again tommorow but when i looked at my test info it isnt one of the early detection ones despite saying they pick up pos 7 days after ov..as it only picks up 25 units of hormone etc but the early ones can start from ten. Sigh either way think im gonna get some different ones as if af is on her way am sure will use another load next month or if i get bfp then i will still use loads..lol
hope u r all ok
im sititng here stressed..pmsl

dramaqueen72 · 09/03/2005 10:52

morning ladies,
nemo, keep testing i think you may get a darker positive the longer you wait! oh i hope so for you. absolutely get more expensive brands to confirm or not. i have lots crossed for you. the expensive brands (like clearblue etc) do NOT need first morning wee, so you can test all day! woohoo!! let me know.
bella, do you usually get spotting before af? and have you ever had it this early before? you just NEVER know -sorry that really helps doesnt it??! NOT!- fingers crossed for you also. tho..can you all wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeee?!
yingers, have you got intouch with your early pg unit yet? mine said, when i get pg next time, even if i bypass my drs, they will scan early, and also at the m/c date from last time. this helps me feel confident for next time round.
well, my signs are strange this month , my ewcm which usually lasts ages, has started to change already. stupidly grabbing at tiny straws here and wondering/hoping/guessing that that means i'm gp and my body has decided it doesnt need anymore fertile cm in that case. DESPERATE Dq here!!!!!
better go
take care everyone
