Mummy2olivia due 30th November

yes nomore - i have a dd who is 4 in december - we put off trying for another for all sorts of reasons until early this year - now its taking a but longer than i'd hoped,i'm sorry we didn't start earlier. i know how lucky i am to have her when so many people struggle to have one (i have 2 v close friends in RL who have can't have chilren)but i would love her to have a bruv or sis too, hopefully before she goes to school next sept.

i hope you feel more positive tomorrow

I am TTC#1. On and off this year.

twoplease don't worry about tiptoeing round the 'I want a 2nd when you're ttc#1' thing - not getting pg when you want to is horrible no matter whether it's no1 or no6. In many ways I expect it's more frustrating if you've already had one to not concieve again.

Hi ladies

Nomore I'm on cycle 14 of ttc #1 - had a CP in Sept (four days late but only very faint positives) and I still get my hopes up every month and then have them dashed when AF arrives...I actually think it's very hormonal for me - I get really excited and hopeful as estrogen rises, then get comedy happy during my fertile phase (and want sex lots more than usual ) and then get so so down when AF arrives. Still, staying hopeful overall is probably the only way I'll get through this IYKWIM. And I believe we'll all get our BFPs - I just hope it's sooner rather than later for us all

And I agree with nomore, I don't want anyone to feel awkward about ttc-ing number 2 (or 3 or 4 ) when some of us are still ttc number 1. Wanting a baby and it not happening is frustrating and a rollercoaster for us all, no matter what number DC it is. If anything, I think it must be very hard/annoying when people say "well, at least you've got one/two/whatever". It's bad enough being told to flipping relax but being told to relax and grateful would tip me over the edge

Hi rafiz and welcome. And big hello to everyone else too. Hope we start gettng BFPs on here soon!!

And here's an updated list

Twoplease due 5/6th November
Pinkie08 due 7th November
Wishinanhopin due 11th November
Caitni due 17th November
Rafiz due 18th November
Pezzina due 24th November
Mummy2olivia due 30th November
Theautomatic due 29/30th November
Nomore due 29th/30th November (on Clomid)

Hi everyone,

I am ttc#2 (but #1 with my husband) DD was from previous marriage.

I havent tested yet but am itching to speed up time to Fri so that i can.

Unfortunately i have that lower back pain that usuallly comes before AF. I was hopeful after following the Deanna Plan but hey ho guess will follow it again next month. Also only got two more cycles of clomid which is so disheartening. DOnt really know what happens after that.

Hi Rafiz nice to join us. Anyone got any ideas how to make the next few days more fun.

Hi all, I'm TTC #1. This is my 3rd month of seriously TTC, monitoring my cycles, temping, etc - although came off the pill in June, just didn't monitor my cycles very carefully. I naively thought that as soon as I came off the pill I'd get pregnant - how stupid could I have been!

hello everyone,

still no more signs of af which is good - i'm not sure my dates are right though? i am cd 22 if i go from first day of full flow of last af (sorry if tmi) but cd 24 if from spotting. I normally have a 25 day cycle so either due tom or friday!

am not feeling too hopeful i have to say and think i will give up 'really' trying for a few months if i'm not pregnant this month as have a few 'stresses' to deal with in RL!!

Thanks Nomore and Caitini for reassuring words about feeling funny if already have one - its a tricky subject so thanks for your understanding.

right then - best get on with my mission to tidy the house from top to bottom before DH gets home, at least it stops me peeing on sticks!!

Morning ladies

Twoplease AF counts from first day of bright red flow as spotting before AF arrives is quite common (I get 1-2 days of v light spotting myself). Here's hoping that you get a BFP instead on Friday!!

Pezzina I came off the pill in early 2007 (we got married in June 07) and we started ttc in Jan and I didn't really monitor my cycles til about March. I had always assumed I had a 28 day cycle and was quite embarassed to realise my cycles are actually usually about 23 days . The charting/monitoring really helps though so I bet you get your BFP soon

Pinkie how are you feeling? I hate the last couple of days before AF is due - I'm always itching to POAS . Remember it's not over til AF arrives and the Deanna Plan really helps so fingers crossed you get a BFP .

Hope everyone else is good. I've just got a peak reading on my monitor so am going to have to pounce on my DH tonight (he's getting over a cold, so there's not been much bd-ing over the past couple of days). So will soon be on the TWW, though am going to try and ease off on the symptom spotting as I was so convinced last month and don't think I could handle that again!

Hi Caitni

Thanks for that, I am feeling brighter today, you all really helped, i have always given words of encouragement to those feeling low but it was a first for me that you all helped me and it was truly amazing.

I agree its not over til its over, but there was more today still only abit of smearing but for me thats the its for this month. So now just waiting for AF to arrive and then can log the day start the clomid the following day and start the DP, that made me feel a little bit in control last month so guess that helps.

Pinkie so glad to hear you're feeling brighter today but that you think you're out this month. I know how horrible the pre-AF spotting is, as when I see my own I know that AF is about to arrive and I try to get my head around AF arriving when I see the spotting (in an effort to not totally collapse when AF arrives). So to you. I think the DP is an excellent idea for next month - between that and the Clomid you'll be doing everything you can to get that BFP

gutted spotting again this morning, af pains too - i can just tell af is on the way properly now. am proper fed up esp as I'd managed to convince myself that spotting the other day 'must' have been implantation bleeding.

has anyone got any better news?

Hi twoplease

Sorry you are spotting, has it arrived fully, its not over yet maybe (hopefully)

No better news but we can face the next month together, spit in AFs eye and get ourselves those little beans.

big (((hugs)) to you.

Sorry to hear your bad news twoplease .

Nothing to report from me - just waiting for ov - hopefully in the next few days.

Big ((hugs)) sweetie xx

thanks Pezzina and Pinkie - AF not arrived properly yet but you know when you know if you get my drift!!

think i'm going to take a break from it all until after christmas now. I've only been trying since about March which I know is nothing in the grand scheme of things but with some added stresses at home, its just too much every month. Not sure I have the emotional strength that i have seen others have to face any intervention that maybe necessary and always said i wouldn't get too worked up if another baby didnt come along and here I am, in pieces. Need to take a break from obsessing over it for abit and come back a bit fresher in the new year i think. if it happens in the meantime, great!

will keep an eye on threads though - good luck Pezzina when Ov happens.

twoplease look after yourself - you sound like you're making a very sensible (if hard) decision to give yourself a break for a while. If it's any consolation I found the 9-12 months bit of ttc (and not doing so) the absolute hardest and I can promise you the worst bits although they are horrible do go away. (((hugs)))

I am sorry twoplease Maybe a break is a good idea.

I am on my 2ww now and it drives me mad how I observe my body all the time. Even if I don't really want to , I analyze every little abnormality.

Oh twoplease so sorry to hear that you're out this month . You sound like you've made a hard decision, but a break sounds like a good idea. TTC is such a rollercoaster that it's important to take care of yourself emotionally too. Hope the RL stresses aren't too much.

Rafiz I'm also now on the tww - I ov'ed yesterday, so should also be due 18 Nov now. We can be test buddies . I've sworn that I'm not going to analyse every twinge this month and I've got a weekend away right before AF is due, so hopefully that'll keep my mind off things!

Pezzina hope you catch the egg this month

Wishin hope things are good with you?

Hi to M2O theautomatic Nomore Pinkie as well. Not much going on with me. Now that I've ov'ed I've got the looooong tww stretching ahead of me...

Baby dust to all.

Caitni nice to have a test buddy. I can't wait. Still have sore boobs but apart from that nothing particular.

Good luck to us all.

hello everyone,

well, as i thought, AF did arrive properly so have put myself at bottom of the list.
I talked through having a bit of break to DH and he completely surprised me by being totally against it!! I thought he would be pleased but he said he really wants to keep 'really' trying.
so, here we go again!! Back on track, trying to dismiss negative vibes, having a v low caffeine and no alcohol month!

anyone know good vits for DH to be taking?

Wishinanhopin due 11th November

Hi twoplease my DH has started taking the Wellman vits - you can get them in Boots and they're doing 3 for 2 at the mo - they're a good 'all round' supplement. I think Zinc is supposed to be a good vit for their little swimmers - but not sure why

twoplease what a beautiful reaction from your DH.

I have still a week to go before I can start testing. Can't wait.
