[mummy2olivia]

As requested- a thread for everyone TTC this month and due AF in November. Whatever you are doing to make the sperm meet the egg, come in here, share your secret and lets wait for eachothers BFP!!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

Mummy2olivia due 30th November

Hello ladies, have been staying away from the conception board lately, can feel myself becoming obsessed with ttc. Was absolutely gutted when AF arrived, more than I realised. But am gearing up now for ovulation. Apparently 15th is THE day and great that the 15th is a Saturday rather than a work night! Lots of time for bedding.

twoplease- that was a brave decision to make about having a rest from ttc and I can certainly see where you're coming from. Great news that your dh is so keen to continue. My dh has started popping selenium, I know hes a bit worried that his sperm may not be up to scratch!

Good luck Rafiz and Caitni, have everything crossed for you!

Hope everyone is doing OK. This bloody constant rain is getting me down. It only takes one drop of rain to fall on my hair and it goes to frizz, not really the look I'm aiming for...!!

Is anyone still around?

Bump!!

Hi theautomatic

I am still here but DH due any minute and he hates me being on this thing.

How are you? we have very similar dates, FF says 17th for afew days for me.

I have given up with the frizzy hair weather its not a good look for any of us

Hey pinkie, nice to hear from you!
We do have very similar dates. I've already started the bedding, really going for it this month. How about you?
My dh hates me going on this thing too, though he cant complain as he spends loads of time on his xbox even though he's in his 30s...!

pinkie08 and theautomatic Good luck with your OV. I will be testing when you will be BD. But I just don't feel any symptoms any more...

i'm here too - had to have a dreaded smear test today but was remarkably ok - have been putting it off, hoping i would be pregnant but no such luck!!
we are going to really go for it this month too but can already sense the disappointment in 3 weeks - must get positive.......

Good luck Rafiz, not long til you test! Lots of women dont have any symptoms when they're pregnant so dont give up hope, you never know. Make sure you let us know if you've any news.

Hey twoplease, glad the smear went OK. It is difficult to be positive I know, especially when the statistics are so depressing ie 20/25 per cent of conceiving even when you're ovulating. But its got to be our turn soon...

Hi ladies

Hope everyone's well! Glad to hear of everyone gearing up for bd-fest over their fertile days

Rafiz hey test buddy, also not feeling any symptoms to be honest...am trying not to obsess this month as tomorrow I've got my progesterone test (the day 21 test, but I'm getting it done earlier since my cycles are short) and my day 3 FSH/LH test next Wed, to see what my hormones are doing...so part of my can't help wishing that just because we've started investigations is the very time when we get our BFP!! Wishful thinking I know, but got to stay positive .

Am also going away for the weekend tomorrow night so at least will be too busy to be sneakily taking HPTs (my DH just cannot understand testing early, saying what will be will be ). Roll on Monday/Tues when I'll be able to test.

Fingers crossed AF stays away for us all

Hi all,

theautomatic I have also started bding, but i read that one of the DP success of Ray81 she bded morning and night on her "3"days and as much as poss in between and on the day after the day of rest.

Phew she must be tired but she got her BFP so am aiming to grab DH as much as poss, this month not going to tell him when oving as thnik it makes it too clinical for the DHs.

I think that we girls can have a plan and go with it but they dont do so well under pressure

twoplease well done for the smear, they really are yucky

morning all,

i also saw Ray 81's success - i was trying to work out if we could manage 17 times in a month and don't think it would be physically possible without giving DD away, doing no housework and not going to work.....

Maybe i should set the alarm for 6 in the morning between days 8-14, it would be the early starts that would exhaust DH not the sex!!!!

have fun away Caitini, hiding hpts is one of my hobbies too!!

Hi twoplease and pinkie (and everyone else )

I also saw ray's sucesss and, while I'm so happy she got her BFP , I don't think there's any way we could manage 17 times over my fertile days! Just reading it made me tired . Me and my DH get up between 6-630am to catch trains to London and bd-ing twice a day is an impossibility during the week (and trust me, we've tried it a couple of times!). But when ov happens at a weekend it's a different story .

Good luck to everyone with bd-ing - it's defintely the fun part of the month. I'm only 7dpo, period due next Tue, but am already knicker-checking. So much for not obsessing this month .

Am glad I'm off to Ireland for the weekend so should hopefully be too busy to obsess (but have snuck some FR hpts into my hand luggage - what DH doesn't know won't hurt him ).

Nomore I saw your thread about your discharge and hope it's nothing alarming, as really got my fingers crossed that you catch this egg this month xxx

I probably won't be back online til Sunday, so hope everyone has a good weekend!

i got a BFP this morning will be number 3 not getting to excited yet as had a m/c last month, so excited though i had to tell people other the DH

Caitni - enjoy your weekend in Ireland - at least it will stop you from obsessing too much

Doublehelp CONGRATULATIONS!

I did a test today and I got a BFP. I can't believe it. I feel like as if I am dreaming.

Good luck to everyone else.

Wow Rafiz CONGRATULATIONS - what a great start to the weekend

Did you have any idea/symptons?

Caitni, you're in a similar position to me, dh and I commute into London and I have to be out the house by 6.45 to get the train, so theres no chance of us bedding in the morning! Have thought about setting alarm for 5 but to be honest would be to knackered!

Rafiz and doublehelp= congratulations!!! what an excellent start to the weekend for you both!

Lots of bding for me this weekend, cant wait. Though already am imagining symptons from all the bd last week. Have really bad headache and feel a bit faint, of course I know these arent pregnancy symptons as its way to early, but you know how it is.... your mind starts playing tricks on you.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Thanks Pezzina Well I have had very sore boobs every day since OV. I usually have this only for a couple of days just before AF.
Today I woke up and they hurt even more so I had a feeling it could show. I bought the First Response Test and it was positive.
Apart from the sore boobs I haven't really felt anything major. A bit sick or tired but could have been for other reasons as well.
I have been taking folic acid for over 2 years ever since we were thinking about trying and a week ago I ran out. I just felt there is no point in rushing and buying a new pack. So I quickly bought them today after the test. Hope it doesn't affect the baby.

Congratulations doublehelp it's great, isn't it?

Caitni have a lovely time in Ireland and want to hear from you on Monday. If I remember right. You are going to test as well. So fingers crossed for you.

theautomatic enjoy all the BD this weekend. Hope it works for you. So far it seems this is going to be a very successful thread.

With apologies for simply copying and pasting from other thread:
Unfortunately I don't have any good news - despite having what I thought was my period two weeks ago I have been diagnosed today with an ectopic pg. Had a bit of brown spotting yesterday and woke in the night with severe cramps on LH side. Rang out of hours GP who said it could be over stimultion on Clomid or ectopic pg. Did pg test, the only time I want a BFN and it's +ive. Straight off to early pg unit who scan me, take blood, poke and prod and confirm ep. Received great care from them and the epu was seperate from normal scanning/ maternity dept, which was really good after knowing some people's experiences. I only knew I was pg after I knew something was wrong so I'm feeling a bit bamboozled by emotions as well as physically being in pain. Am hoping I will m/c naturally as otherwise it means an op to remove the embryo and tube together, which terrifies me. Even if it's natural m/c I will be closely monitored for the next few weeks as they can't take the risk of anything being left behind in the tube.
Guess you'd better take me off the list

I am so sorry nomoremagnolia. What a terrible thing to happen to you. Please look after yourself and stay positive. I know someone who had their embryo and tube removed and still got pregnant.

oh nomore - i'm so sorry to hear about your news it sounds like you really been through it over the last couple of days. i hope you are being looked after and that everything goes as well as these things can - thinking of you xx

(it feels wrong to put this in the same post but don't want to go without saying congrats to rafiz and doublehelp)

Blood hcg levels have dropped so I'm waiting for a natural m/c in the next few days.
Hospital are happy to hand me over to my GP for monitoring. Guess it's the best news in the circumstances but I'm feeling more emotionally battered now the immediate worry/anxiety/fear is gone.

I'm so sorry nomoremagnolia Such sad news. Thank goodness it looks as though you will have a natural m/c - at least an operation is not on the cards. My thoughts are with you and I hope you're getting lots of love and support from your nearest and dearest right now. xx

Had medical management for a missed m/c just over two weeks ago - on 1st Nov, had intermittent bleeding for about two weeks - which fingers crossed has now stopped and have now started TTC again. I haven't a clue when I will/or if I have ovulated again, but we are just going for it.
I felt some pain around the left side of my lower abdomen last night; could that be middleschmerz which signals ovulation? maybe that's wishful thinking!

nomoremagnolia

so sorry for you ordeal. i hope you can let your body rest and then get back on the ttcing game,

and Gateau you might have seen it before but afew of us are following the sperm meets egg plan

it is meant for those who have had a loss aswell as those wanting some help ttc. You might find it helpful

lots of ((((hugs)))

Hi ladies,

Nomore I am so sorry to hear your bad news . Though it's good that you hopefully won't need surgery it's still a terrible thing to get your head around. MrsH over on my usual thread (it's called WIMBEWAIF) has had two EPs this year and is a font of information on EPs if you want to chat with anyone who's been through this (she also started a thread called something like TTC after an Ectopic under the name theunituber). Take care of yourself

Rafiz congrats on your BFP!!! I'm so happy that you got such good news . How are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?

Congrats to you too Doublehelp - let's hope this bean sticks xx

And hi to all of our ov-ing and bd-ing ladies. Sorry for not saying hi individually to everyone but work's a bit mental today!

I've not actually tested yet, as am pretty convinced that I'm out this month (I had some spotting on Sat and Sunday and that's usually an indication that AF is going to show soon). I felt so battered by ttc on Sunday night that couldn't face Mumnset, but am feeling a bit better now. I just wish that ttc could be easy for us all!!
