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

Irishmum we cross posted. Yes, here's hoping we both have a much better Monday than usual! And not too much agonising (and no pesky periods) before then.

want to test agghhh!

smallone, step away from the HPK! Even if you are pg now you might get a spoilsport neg result because it's too early. And a wasted test is not very credit crunch now is it?

Why don't you join me and Irishmum on Monday?

Thankyou! Have found web sudoku to keep my mind off it. DD not very impressed tho! No way I can wait til mon. I'm going out sat night so want to know before then.

Think I'm gonna test tomorrow first thing, thats if I don't rip the packet open between now and then! and af doesn't show up of course.

Well, keep us posted tomorrow then. Good luck.

I am managing to resist testing- haven't got any anyway and am at work, for a start! But I am going slightly mad. The weirdest thing I'm doing is for some reason sitting very still at my desk, as though a sudden movement will somehow make af start (which, you know, is ridiculous- if it's coming it's coming!)

hello everyone mosschops so sorry to hear about your af, hopefully she'll stay away next month, I know how horrible that feeling is.

To everyone testing on Monday big hugs and lots of luck, I'll be keeping a close eye out for all of you!

joy sound s v hopeful can't wait to hear!

Well, I'm a neurotic loony mess, did another lloyds text this am and line was still there but just as faint, really worried in case it's a sign of chemical pregnancy or similar, did clearblue digital just now which says pregnant 1-2 weeks.

still have sore boobs and feel sick but that's purely through anxiety, oh god!!! Will try to hold off a few days before another test and hope the line gets darker.

god what a worry wart!

minx hope your line gets darker, I'm sure it will, HCG doubles every 24hrs so wait 2-3 days and it should make a big difference.

No AF for me yet, don't know now whether to test tomorrow or not. I feel like I might be jinxing it. Stupid I know. Had AF feeling on off all day, lots of loo visits and frantic wiping (tmi sorry). Boobs are nearing jordan proportions and I'm weeing past myself.

I'm so excited for you all! Good luck, break a leg, fingers crossed... or should it be legs...or what ever the appropriate phrases are!

Okay, you are all putting me to shame. I'm only on measly CD22 - a week off AF even being due - and already I'm wavering on the test front, on the basis that I have a few pathetic symptoms. Your responses on testing early are giving me the strength to hold on. I'm full of admiration for those who hold off until after AF is due, and reading over the comments I can see it makes so much sense. I suppose I've been guilty of thinking a BFP is a sealed deal, when actually only a baby is a sealed deal - an early BFP is fantastic and all, but not necessarily the happy ending I was thinking of, IYKWIM - certainly not if it appeared on CD22 or whatever. So you've convinced me - I'm gonna wait! Thank you! Feeling v down today and like it'll never happen, but that might be because yet another of my NCT group announced their second pregnancy today. So happy for them, don't get me wrong, but it still hurts. I feel bad even typing it but coz we all had our first babies together I feel a bond with them and that I'm leaving them behind now. Anyway, I'll shut up now, you hang in there Minx and good luck to all those testing xxx

Firstly MINX a line is a line Congrats and hope it's a sticky and the line gets darker.

Sunnydale I am worse than you, I'm on CD20, due to test in 8 days and I'm imagining symptoms and thinking when can I test?! I ordered a stupid amount of ebay cheapie HPTs as they were so cheap so that doesn't help.

I WILL probably not test until next Friday maybe even Saturday

Morning all, woke up at 4am with an enormous bladder so tested then. BFN. Still no af, don't even feel like its coming anymore.

Feel a bit numb really, doesn't help that my fluey thing is still lingering on and my sinuses are killing me. I swear I must have punched myself in the face in the night. Gutted I've wasted my last test tho, not even a smidgen of a line, not a hint, nothing.

If no AF by monday I'll test again.

Good luck to everyone else, I hope AF has the weekend off!

Smallone sorry no BFP. It sounds like you are feeling quite down. Now there will be three of us testing on Monday. Let's hope it's three jackpots!

Sunnydale and CatD- hang in there, it's so easy to get hung up on symptoms. The week will pass soon enough.

Minx congrats on your BFP and I hope it gets stronger as your HCG levels increase.

As for me, I'm now on Day 31 (longest cycle since coming off pill/having MC has been 28 days). Can't help but get my hopes up, but am going to definitely wait until Monday when bf and I will have house to ourselves (housemate away) and test then. In the mean time, am symptom spotting but not for pg signs- instead am obsessed with thinking i can feel af symptoms. I now have cystitis-like pains which I do often get during af but not normally before. Boobs are out of control (big and tender) but that could be one or the other couldn't it? And I am very emotional (cried listening to my ipod this morning) but tbh that's just my personality. Strangely I'm not dying to test- would rather stay in bubble for a while longer before (literally) pissing on hopes.

Fingers crossed for everybody.

Thanks joy I'm with you on the not testing front, at least with no AF and no BFN, you can keep the hope that you might be pg. Sometimes ignorance is bliss! Have done some complicated period maths and decided that perhaps I'm not due till sun anyway.

Am I mad or does this make sense? Cycle usually between 26 and 30 days. I know I tried to ov on CD9 so if this was a short cycle I have 17 days between ov and AF. I also know I had a second surge on CD16 so if I add 17 days to that I get a 33day cycle.

Its amazing what you can come up with to keep yourself in with a chance isn't it?

Sorry smallone, don't get down - you could still be in with a chance yet. Those HCG levels double every day! Joy, lol at "pissing on hopes". I might just test for the hell of it - it will be a BFN and that will be that. Can't bear my ridiculous sympton spotting any longer. No, I didn't mean that. I will NOT test. Am sitting on hands now. And thinking of the rest of you being strong. But then again, I could test and not tell you. No, that would be wrong. Okay, am sitting on hands again. No, am off to eat giant packet of crisps.

Thanks sunnydale at sitting on hands.

Have updated the list as it was a bit old - apologies to anyone I've got wrong. Esp the ladies at the top - feel free to amend if you're still around. Minx, hope you don't mind but I've added you to the BFP list - it's looking v busy down there!

Well, Friday night finds me on my own with just SATC, a hot water bottle, and a packet of painkillers for company. Got my period this evening- no september baby for me.

Feel really fed up and as though I have paid my dues: a miscarriage, and six months of trying later, and nothing. I'm 28 and obviously fertile since I got pg last year. Why isn't this happening for us?

Sorry for mega whinge- just feeling down about it. I really did think that I could be pregnant. Never mind. My best friend is getting hitched in september so at least I know I won't be giving birth on her big day.

smallone and irishmumwannabe, I know you're planning to test on Monday so good luck. I really hope you get your BFPs.

So, I'm not too familiar with these mumsnet boards- where do I go now? To the October baby thread, or will this thread carry on for those of us who haven't been successful?

hello, feel a bit nervous now I'm on the bottom!

really sorry joy to hear about your bfn, sending you lots of babydust for October and don't worry about whinging that was nothing compared to my paranoid rants and obsessive compulsive behaviour.

Did 3 tests today!!! First one (Sainsburys) was a dud, how frustrating and then I went to tescos in lunch hour and got a clearblue got a nice fat blue line, THEN went out of my way on way home to get a Lloyds pharmacy test from the pharmacy I bought the original ones from, what a complete loon!!!

Line on lloyds one was darker but I had to get dh to check and as soon as he saw it he said "that's loads clearer I don't have to squint to see that one" which was re-assuring.

Will be less of a freak if i can get past 6 weeks cos that's when I mc last time, another 2ww! Am booking myself in for a private scan (hopefully) at 7 weeks then will see GP.

Can't wait for Monday for all these results will be checking in first thing!!!

xxxx

get some wine Joy asap!!

Thanks for your support minx. Never fear, I am tucking into leftover NYE booze as I type. Still very fed up. Bah.

Your BFPs sound totally bona fide- hurrah! Of course you are nervous, but I really hope it all works up and you remain steadfastly knocked up!

I'm from mancunia too btw

South or North?

South. You?

South too!

No way
Not somewhere beginning with C perchance?
