trying for a September baby, anyone want to join?

[peacelily]

Hi All, have been on a couple of ttc hreads but due to sad arrival of af yesterday and x2 negative pg testa thought I'd start a September one.

We are ttc#2 we already have dd(2) and had a mc in September this will be cycle 3 since mc.

Mc hit me hard, more so than other adverse life events for some reason also head full of other stuff such as trying to complete a Post grad Diploma in Cognitive Therapy!!

Anyway want to try to be optimistic and hopeful and not (too!) obsessive this month!

Anyone else fancy joining?? xx

That is me out. Symptoms where so bad this time, i did think i was in for a chance. But because i felt sick, had sore boobs etc my hubby isnt talking to me, told me to go get myself sorted out! Oh and also told me that he wasnt trying again.... maybe a change of man is what i need next month

Anyway....i hope you all get BFPs, i will log on to see what is happening....bye xx

hey irish Im sure I read somewhere (either on here or some concieving website) that you can have pains down one side fingers crossed.

sorry littlepea , I love it when men say theyre not trying anymore lol, then they get offered it on a plate and they love it . dh was moaning last nite because I didnt want to go near him, he said 'and I suppose I'll be fighting you off in 10 days time'

I thought AF had arrived today, felt a sort of gush (sorry if TMI) rushed to toilets and nothing, not sure if thats bad or good I know nothing about CM when AF is due or youre pg.

That sharp pain down one side can, I believe, also be middleschmerz, which is a sign of ovulation.
I had it two days ago. Not sure what the hell is happening with my body. It's f**d, I reckon.

Oops, I meant my body's f**d.

Still no af here but a few cramps, sure she's on her way.

feel a bit more positive today, went o health food shop and the lovely woman was v helpful. Have bought fertility vits for me and dh, agnus castus and she's given me the number of a reflexologist who's had some good results re fertility recently, am willing to try anything!!

I think december was such a horrible stressful month I oved v late prob about day 26 (xmas day had ewcm and sharp pains but dismissed them, then have had achy boobs since).

Am feeling hopeful re ttc but dreading starting back at work tomorrow and Msc course on Thur. The stress nearly finished me off last term, am thinking of jacking it in and changing jobs soon after mat leave (if that happens) anyway, it's only when you're away from it you realise how nasty and stressful it all is.

The stars are not working; okay, fecked then.

sorry to hear about bfn mosschops fingers xed for Thursday!

I'm testing again on Thur if no af if still bfn will move to oct thread i think.xx

Thanks for the advice mosschop ad Gareau if I only ov'd today that means my cycle is gone to pieces - I am usually a 26 - 27 dayer and this is CD 21 so unless I have the shortest lp ever I don't think I'm going to be successful this month. Ah well maybe DH will be up for some donation tonight!

Hopefully they are the kind of pains that mean implantation or something is going on - God it hurts though (fingers crossed it's not something worse)

On another note - DH and I are rehoming 2 dogs - I've told DH that he can practise on them and if he's good with tehm I'll let him help out with the baby!

Just a quickie - congrats Bubble on AF appearing and Mosschops for what it's worth, the last two times I was PG I distinctly remember feeling a gush of cm - was convinced it was either AF or that I'd wet myself - two weeks later hey presto, a BFP. For me a gush = a bean. Man, am I waiting for that gush right now

Only just getting back to normal now almost a week after getting home from xmas at the folks, so hardly been online all week. Gonna take me another week to properly catch up on all the posts there've been here this week - so apologies in advance for the shortage of personal comments, I've only had a quick scan through!
Have updated the list for Tuesday seeing as it's gone midnight now.
Bubblebell welcome to the bottom of the list. Was looking a bit lonely down here since homeinthesun left us.
So sorry it didn't happen for you littlepea, was really hoping you'd get some good news. Good luck for next cycle, I'll probably see you over in the Oct thread before too long.
According to my TCOYF software I should be ov'ing around Saturday 17th Jan, so hopefully no mid-week cross-country treks to Blandford Camp this month. Pouncing on DH the moment he gets home on the Friday and trying for the Saturday and Sunday before he heads back too should give us as good a shot as any I reckon. The software reckons if I ov then my due date would be Oct 10th so with planned CS delivery 2 wks early it'd definitely still be a september baby.
Good luck everyone still waiting, I'm sure we're gonna see a fair few more BFPs before this thread's done.

Welcome back Forces - hope the bd plans work out!

I am in such a foul mood today that I must be PMS rather than pg - have bitten the head off everyone around me - and I should be really happy as getting doggies tonight -

Ah well, trying to snap myself out of this funk or else I migth be out of a job!

Sounds like great timing forces... good luck!

Irish, sorry you're feeling pms-y.... get yourself some emergency chocolate pronto

I'm feeling decidely un-pregnant, not feeling anything actually, not pms-y either, but that doesn't mean anything. Still fully expecting it to arrive tomorrow or Thursday.

Grrrr I'm sooo Goddamn impatient - it's only CD17 and I hate this 2ww lark! Need to keep self busy instead of surfing baby websites and thinking baby names of unconceived child!!
It's easy to get a bit obsessive isn't it?
K

Oh and Forces, your exploits last month made me laugh so much, hope you have loads of luck this month!

xxxx

Kat (forgot to say hi and welcome btw ) I'm exactly the same. Just been shopping in the sales to take my mind off it, either I kill myself thinking about am I or aren't I, or I blow what little pennies I have left after Christmas in the Gap sale! Gah!

minxofmancunia Big hugs, its not good when it feels like thinks are falling apart. I'm having the same thoughts about leaving after maternity leave pay off. However the holidays are good which are ideal for being a Mum. AHHHH! Still BDing, though its pants straight after work. Everything crossed at the moment. AHHH!

Is anyone still here

I am resisting testing, those Clearblue with conception indicators look to be the most accurate according to their research (better than their other two tests, and better than first response).

No AF for me yet, cd31 today. But dont wanna test again until friday, am becoming a testing demon!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!

Just had the faintest of pale blue lines on a lloyds pharmacy HPT!!!

So faint though going to use the next one for tomorrow 1st am urine then if I get a line buy a clearblue digital for the weekend.

Don't know how to feel, feel like crying cos so terrified of mc again, if this is a true +ve the next few weeks are going to be hell!!!

Off to have a non caffienated hot drink to calm my nerves!!

Thanks god for alcohol otherwise wouldn't have had drunken bd of xmas eve!

oh wow minx im so so so pleased congratulations

Ah minx that is brilliant. I'm goign to keep everythign crossed for yuo - and here's hoping the bean sticks this time.

Enjoy your non - caffeinated hot drink and drunken BDs are always the way to go - that's how half my friends got pg! :-) (The ones who have babies)

Good luck with teh future testing - make sure you let us know. Goodthing you changed your name it's obviously a lucky decision!

At work can't concentrate feel sick although I think it's with nerves!

Does anyone know anything about herbal teas? Am taking NO risks this time, cutting out caffiene but like my hot drinks and like some herb/fruit teas, does anyone have any info?

Thank you so much to everyone on this thread, everyones lovely makes me feel like crying!

Hi all, can I join?

Bit of a wierd situation, finally decided we would start trying for #2 a week or so ago, did the business lots, and yesterday DH got made redundant. So don't really know whether to be excited or worried.

Anyone in similar situation???!!!

Here's mine:
vtiredmummy ttc#2 cycle 1 CD19

im sorry i dont minx. i dont really drink hot drinks but a friend of mine only drinks herbal tea. i think they are made by tetley. and she gets them when she does her weekly shop in the supermarket.

Oh wow minx that's brilliant news, congratulations! That name change must have been lucky for you indeed!!!!!! I'm pretty sure fruit teas are fine, just double check they don't have any caffeine, but I drank buckets of the ginger and lemon tea in my first trimester to help with morning sickness as my doc had recommended it. Good luck with further testing, but I have a good feeling about this one!

Welcome vtiredmummy, sorry to hear about your dh, I hope he manages to find another job soon.

I'm pretty sure af is on her way to me, had a teensy bit of spotting yesterday, nothing today, but it usually does go that way. I'm not in the least big surprised after I was wiped out for three weeks with the cold of the century, right bang over my fertile period, so we only managed one rather pathetic sesh.

Still, I got my new pushchair today so I've got a new toy to play with

Very late to the party here, but can I join in?

Will put my "story" in the usual lingo:
I'm on CD29 of my 5th cycle since MC last July (got pg within weeks of coming off pill last May). We're ttc#1.

My stomach is starting to flip nervously because I haven't had a cycle longer than 28 days before now (since MC have been 28, 24, 26 and 24). I keep waiting for my period to start but absolutely nothing so far.

I don't have any pregnancy symptoms, apart from acting like a complete bitch to my bf and feeling like an emotional jellyfish... But that could just be the time of year, or indeed pmt, or ttc doing my head in. But at the same time, I also don't have any physical af symptoms- no cramps or sense of "movement" in my uterus which I get before period.
Have noticed (tmi) quite a lot of cm in recent days- to the extent that I keep feeling like af has arrived. This could mean nothing, of course.

As I'm not sure of my cycles (was on pill for years so don't even have a history of cycles), and as they have varied over last 5 months, I don't know whether to take test or to wait a few more days.

The other factor is that my bf currently share a house and I wouldn't want our housemate to know I was pregnant. Equally, I don't want to whisper news- if there is news- to bf behind closed doors. Would want to dance/sing around house etc (well perhaps not literally but you know what I mean!). He (housemate) is away at weekend so that would have been a perfect time to test and share moment (if indeed... etc) with bf. But drat it, bf is also away.

Am waffling now- but just wanted someone to "talk" to!

vtiredmummy - sorry to hear about your husband's redundancy. That's tough- I hope things work out. If you are pg, I'm sure things will be fine. He'll have 40 weeks to look for more work. Cold comfort I know...
