TTC and Waiting to TTC? The ever addictable wagon awaits.....

[LaTourEiffel]

Over here ladies, and a big Wagon welcome to any newbies!

I'll post the list in a minute too....

Biccy - lurk and post away! You shall be our hope and inspiration

biccy- that had to have been SO exciting to get a positive though! obviously it's totally normal to be a bit apprehensive with a pregnancy after losing one. i have a friend in RL who's also just had a mc and she's gotten right back on the horse so you're not alone.

bringonthetrumpets - Aw they are so sweet at that age . Yeah lets hope we both get bfp's this month!

right, well i'm going to take advantage of dh out playing poker for the night and have our huge bed alllllll to myself for a few hours at least.

it's great to be back! chat again soon.

Dalrymps, what were you doing posting at 23.16 - I thought you had a date for 23.00 hours?!

Biccy, I know! Dh had taped American Idol and was watching the end of it . We didn't actually have a gof in the end cause I had a feeling like I was getting cystitis (when I get it I get it bad) so we decided not to aggrivate it. Gone now though so back up gof scheduled for 11:00hrs this evening

Aargh. I am going out of my mind. When will I ever learn not to use early pregnancy tests?! I feel so much like AF is about to start again, crampy, back achey, and have had a spot of reddish brown blood.

Did another test just now, different brand, less sensitive, and it is still positive, though it took about 4 of the 5 mins for the result to appear and it wasn't mind blowingly strong. But then I read that First Response (that I used 72 hours ago) can detect from 6.3miu and the one I used today was sensitive to 25miu, so I am telling myself that as hcg levels are supposed to double every 48 hours, it would make sense that on Friday a First Response was faint, and on Monday a less sensitive test was faint.

But I just can't shake the feeling that this is going to be another chemical pregnancy. Which would mean conceiving 3 times in 6 months and still being no further on. Hope I'm just being paranoid here. Oh, oh, oh..

Oh Biccy, I think you should step away from the tests and just try to relax (hard I know). I've got all my fingers and toes crossed it's not gonna be a chemical pg. I guess only time will tell, try to think positive thoughts. (sorry, don't mean to sound patronising,was meant to sound supportive)

awh biccy, i really hope this is your month! fingers crossed for you that this one sticks!

Fingers crossed for you Biccy. I try very hard to keep away from early pregnancy tests as I can drive myself round the bend easily enough without. Hate everything ttc at the moment

Thanks guys. Keeping my fingers crossed. I am going to go to bed shortly, as have dreadful headache and feel exhausted and nauseous. Wouldn't like to say whether this is pregnancy related, or just because I've been so emotional today (which of course could also be pregnancy related - you just go round in circles don't you).

Stopped beating myself up about the tests too much; even if things don't take this time, it's good to know I am ovulating etc... And at least the second one has reassured me that I wasn't going mad and seeing things the first time!

Anyway, yes, an early night for me, work tomorrow.

Take care, xx.

Morning. Sorry not to be the beacon of hope and inspiration anymore - this one definitely didn't stick. Bright red blood in the night which has become definite flow this morning, and another BFP which was so faint it was barely perceptible. So, another CP notched up to me.

We've decided to give it a proper break for a couple of months and then see how we feel. May go to the GP, as, tell me if I'm wrong, but 3 losses in a row in the space of 6 months currently feels like more than just bad luck.

Anyway, don't worry, I won't hang about here being all gloomy, though I will keep watching to see how you are all getting on - would love to hear some good news for you.

Biccy - So sorry that this one didn't work out, what an emotional roller coaster for you. Please don't feel like you have to go anywhere, feel free to continue posting, we're here to support each other. If you feel the doc might be able to help/offer tests/ put your mind at rest then maybe pop and see them. It could just be bad luck but worth getting checked out as it's upsetting for you. Fongers crossed for you that it works out for you soon.

Hi all. Been busy at work but finally got time to check in.
biccy i am so sorry . Yes, deffo get to the doctor and see what they say. And keep us posted. We are all here for you so dont feel like you have to disappear!!

bringonthetumpets fab that you are back and hubby too!! Yay. And ditto Dalrymps your son is gorgeous!

Joycey Congratulations that is fabulous news. Have you booked your scan?

Thanks kittycatcat

awwwh thanks kittycatcat so sweet of you to remember me

biccy SO very sorry to hear that it hasn't worked out for you. really hope you can get some answers from your gp. we're all here for you to vent whenever the need!

well day 8 of the first official month of trying. sorry tmi (is it really tmi if we're talking about periods, cervixes, and sex? ) but i think i'm ovulating really really early. i've got what looks like ewcm atm-is it even possible to ovulate this early? we're just taking a stab in the dark (literally speaking ) as to when things are happening in my cycles since i'm still bf ds. oh i don't know.... hopefully it'll just happen without having a strategy!

Hi ladies, just popping in to see how everyone is doing.

Doing ok here, have been goffing every other day... I'm on CD17 and have had very sore breasts yesterday and today... The left one seems to be worse than the right one though. I'm trying not to read too much in to this but it's hard not to wish it might mean I could be pg. Is it even possile to have sore breasts this early? Could be completely unrelated of course, guess i'll have to wait and see. Oh how I love the 2ww!

The joys of symptom spotting. AF was due today but hasn't appeared so far. Not getting excited though as today when ds said he didn't want to go down the road we were driving on I said we'd just go home & we'd all starve (we were going grocery shopping). Hardly rational so assume AF will turn up tomorrow. Got my Mooncup ready & waiting for its first use. I'm in my third week of charting & had a 2 day temperature rise Tues/Wed which would be an odd time of the month to be ovulating & should have been raised for longer than 2 days so who knows. In danger of becoming totally ttc obsessed.

hiya ladies, seems this thread is a bit slow atm.

oooh claire! really hope to hear some positive news from you soon!

hey dairy-also really hoping for a big bfp for you!

currently on CD14. supposed to be the magic ovulation day but i'm not really noticing any indicators that i'm even close to it. i'm thinking either a) i'm not ovulating yet because of BF DS or b) i've already ovulated and didn't notice or haven't yet and to stay tuned. gosh this TTC is really a lot of work isn't it? how are your DP's doing with all of this?

Hi bringonthetrumpets!
Suppose it's difficult to tell if you're ovulating at the best of times. I watched a program the other night called something like 'the journey of sperm' lol. Anyway it was a bit weird but they did say to gof every 2-3 days throughout the month and that way the sperm will be good quality and you'll hit the fertile phase at some point.

Thats what we've been doing this month, guess we'll have to see if it works. I don't have sore breasts anymore so don't know what that was about?! I'm on CD 19 now so probably have ov'd although who knows?

Claire - Any sign of the dreaded af yet?

hahahha i saw that show as well! made me laugh so hard. the different people and their facial expressions of determination was so funny! i did see the 2-3 bit as well and that's been our course of action also. maybe the sore breasts were your indicator of ovulation?

seems like it's fingers crossed and hope for the best for all of us these days

Lol bringonthetrumpets, we were a bit wtf at the stupid 'sperm people'. It was hilarious!

I think you're right about the sore breasts/ov thing, I did have some ewcm around that time...

Dalrymps - still no AF but this happened last month & I got excited so I'm trying to focus on AF being late & not even consider anything else.

bringonthetrumpets - dh is not remotely phased by the whole ttc thing. His whole attitude is that it will happen in time. I think he's quite happy it's taking a while to make up for all the practice he missed out on with me getting pregnant with ds so quickly.

Claire - Suppose that's the best way/least dissapointing way to look at it. Am crossing my fingers for you anyway

bringonthetrumpets - Forgot to say, dh is coping with ttc. Was a bit on'off in the early days but we had a few heart to hearts, I basically told him that if he didn't want to ttc then i'd rather him not force himself and rather wait till we were both ready. He decided he had just been a bit scared but really wanted another lo so here we are (it was actually his idea in the first place to ttc now, he just got cold feet!)

Hello, am still lurking about during our month off! Just thought I'd add that I get really tingly breasts when I think I'm ovulating...
I heard last week that one of my 'temporary' extra jobs is going to end in the next couple of months, and I felt so relieved. It's something I took on about a year ago, and was only meant to be for a few months during the start up phase of the company, but has dragged on and really become too much for me (as in having to work every night to keep up, even if that means getting home at 10pm and working til the small hours).

Anyway, witter witter, the point is I felt so relieved when I was told they'd found someone to take it over, that I'm wondering whether I've just been too generally stressed to 'allow' myself to be pregnant. I do seem to live with a knot in my stomach.

We've also been trying to sort out a subsidence problem for over 2 years and are nearly there with getting planning & party wall agreement for an extension which will also fix (we hope!) the subsidence, and that's been stressing me out hugely too. Once all the paperwork is in place I will handover the practical to DP.

We will start trying again next month, and if it were to happen straight away I'd have handed over the job & I think tied up the paperwork on the extension by the time I found out, so I'm hopeful I may be less tense and things might happen.

Gosh, that was a ramble, sorry guys. Look forward to hearing some positive news soon!
