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

HI morethanchoc

everyone very friendly here and welcome too. Have added you in.

Hi all and welcome to the new girls.

Fingers crossed for irishmum and jumpingjellyfish. Feeling all kinds of sympathy for Forcessweetheart -- that would be me passed out on the sofa after 3 glasses of bubbly, for sure.

I'm not tracking with opks (for the first cycle, am determined to Be Nonchalant, la la la), but I should ovulate in the next couple of days. I don't think DH knew what hit him last night...shame he's now got my cold, though, and is unlikely to be on for it tonight.

Hi all,

can I join please. I'm also on the other Sept thread but this one seems a bit busier. DP and I have just decided to ttc so this is cycle 1. I'm very excited ! I am on CD19 and AF is due on xmas eve. This 2ww is hard work - I am a very very impatient person anyway and with all the xmas shopping for godson/nieces/nephew I can't stop wondering whether we might have our own DC or bean to shop for next xmas. I know ttc could take months or years but can't help being excited anyway - poor DP if it takes us a long time. I think I will drive him crazy!

We are ttc number 1, and on cycle 1. I am a mixture of total excitement and obsession, coupled with the utmost fear! Is this normal?!?! AF due on Saturday so avidly symptom spotting this week!

I noticed that everyone was talking about grapefruit juice, never heard taking it was good, so i thought i would buy some today...wish i could of taken a photo for you all...it was the most horrid stuff i have ever drank in my life!! My son roared with laughter with my face twisted after drinking it! One question though, how much of the horrible stuff do i have to drink? LOL....Irish mum, everything is crossed for you...does sound good though!

Hello everyone, I'm just popping over from the August thread, lots of familiar faces on here.... I've already got one September baby (Sept 07) so I'm hoping this could be my lucky month. I've added myself on the list.

I've been doing Fertility Awareness Method since I met my husband(for contraception till recently, as the Pill and I didn't get on and I wasn't brave enough for the other options!) and I have found it really interesting and am a bit miffed at all the things I didn't know about my body before but impressed how many clues you can get from noticing icky things!
If only I'd known

.. but now I'm so tuned in to noticing things I can't think of anything but possible very slight symptoms(3/4 way through the 2ww)!

Anyone else symptom spotting yet?

just dropped by to say hello to some of my old friends - although i may be joining you all soon. hope the next few weeks bring some positive news for everyone!

Hey head and olivo

heres hoping this is your month

im off to the drs this morn so will post again later.

still no AF and BFNs on my cheapie ebay tests.

Hi everyone

Welcome to Head, Katster and cantwait.

Now I still have nothing to report. No AF and haven't tested yet either. I think I'll probably test either tomorrow or Thursday morning. I really want to know but don't want to get BFN - hence my indecision.

I've updated the list too - hopefully have everyone right on it!

talk to you all later

Littlepea - ROFL @ you drinking the grapefuit juice. Only ever had grapefuit once when staying in America for a few weeks, that taught me a lesson not to touch it again. Although if AF arrives this month DH might start making me drink it. (makes my mouth twist thinking about it - bleugh)

Hi all.. thrilled to report I feel odd this morning sickly with a strange taste in mouth. Fingers crossed for the right result for the September thread folks x

Woohoo "MoreThanChocolate" - I've all my fingers crossed for you. Good luck!

(Note to self - get off MN and do some work!)

Hello ladies and welcome to morethanchocolate, cantwaitforxmas, headfairy and olivo- really hoping this is your lucky month!

Well I started spotting yesterday afternoon but as yet it still hasn't turned into full flow. I keep telling myself to get a reality check- had spotting the past 3 cycles 3 days before full-flow, and it took that long before full-flow started, so it's very likely that AF is well on her way. But a tiny part of me is still a little bit hopeful because the spotting started 3 days later than it has the past 3 cycles...Clutching at straws I know!
Anyway I will resist testing until Thursday at least as I bet AF will be here properly by then...just wish she'd get going so I'm not in any doubt! Weirdly this month I haven't been having tummy cramps that I usually get a couple of days before AF...but again know I'm clutching at straws, need to stop obsessing and get on with my life!!

irishmumwannabe- sounds really, really positive!! I take my hat off to you for resisting testing, but your rationale completely makes sense. Here's hoping when you test it'll be a very quick, unambiguous BFP!

morethanchocolate- symptoms sound good! are you going to test on Friday if AF doesn't appear? Fingers crossed for you!

Went to see DS's first nativity play this morning, he was so cute even if a bit, erm, distracted! Makes me realise I'm so lucky to have had 2 DCs already & maybe we're just being greedy wanting #3... But as DD has cystic fibrosis we really have thought about this long & hard, and still want to go for it...

Good luck all xxx

It's lookig good, morethanchoc, looking good.
best of luck for that special Christmas present!

good luck at the docs bubblebell, I hope you get some answers!

hi irishmumwannabe jumpingjellyfish and gateau thanks for the support will be trying to wait till friday to test .. though DH just suggested my announcement that a "trip to stock up from Asda" was needed today was more connected with urgent obsession with pregnancy testing than the nearly empty fridge.
after recent mc I know if we get a positive I'll be over the moon and terrified at the same time ...

jumpingjellyfish we understand ...hope AF stays away

Hi morethanchocolate....sounds really good for you. I know that mc plays on your mind, it will for me too if i get lucky this month...so good luck with the testing! Irishmum, im glued to this just waiting to see what happens with you lol...

Oh Ladies,

I'm out!

Stoopid AF has literally just arrived - am so disappointed.

On the bright side, this means I can go out with work on Friday night and get merry, and then on Saturday am doing 12 pubs of Christmas with my friends so that will be a lot easier now I don't have to explain why I'm only drinking lemoanade!
(yes I know it sounds like I'm an alco but have got the stereotype to live up to lol)

Hopefully the rest of you will get BFPs this month and keep me going - we need some BFPs and I've a feeling they might start rolling in soon.

Bubblebell - any news?

Oh irish im so sorry! i was sure it was going to be good news! stay here and keep trying for next month.

choc fingers crossed. when will you test?

jumping ofcourse your lucky to have 2dc especially 1s as gorgeous as yours! (had a look at your profile) but you are entitled to have as many as you like and it can be just as painful ttc #3 as #1. i felt the same last week but it doesnt make my/yours/anyone elses pain less significant big hugs to you xxx

i saw a different dr today. she has refered me for a blood test to check hcg but said that i just have to wait for af. she said that a normal woman can experience the loss of a period for up to 6 months and the dr not be worried?? she said to wait for the results of blood test which i know will say that im not pregnant and then if af hasnt arrived in the next 3 months then go back. it seems a long while to wait to me. so still in limbo.

baby dust to all.

irishmumwannabe am gutted for you - thought you were going to get lucky

bubblebell will you still ttc while waiting?
I'll test on friday if I can wait that long and AF hasn't arrived

Hi everyone wow the list has grown I'm really hoping for some festive BFPs for everyone!!

irish hwta a shame will be thinking of you for next cycle and wishing xx

morethanchocolate that sounds very exciting well done for holding off with the tests!!

littlepea72 I feel exactly the same mc in september the thought of a BFP fills me with glee and anxiety at the same time.

Don't think there will be a BFP for us this month, haven't been tracking or bdancing just when we've felt like it. been driking too much booze too and caffiene, having mc and starting an Msc simultaneously as well as working has nearly finished me off so have chilled this month cos want to enjoy xmas.

Mind you i did wake dh up early this am as suspected might be ov! Af due 27th-29th dec but not perticularly optimistic. Will get back on it "properly" in new year. Mind you with 1st preg got pg whilst using contraception (dd 2.3yrs) and 2nd (mc) got pg first cycle but not really "trying". This time 3 cycles in no joy with all the ov sticks etc. So thiking this whole trying business isn't really working for us.

Anyway looking forward to hearing everyones good news soon!

so sorry everyone for typos and grammar my typing is appalling!

choc wow! cant believe your will power... i would of tested by now. esp with those symptoms.

i dont know wether to ttc or not. i still chart my temp and cm but am really at a loss. im only 26 i didnt think i would get this kind of prob til later on in life. technically i could get pregnant at anytime if i ov and bd at right time but am wondering if it would be better to hold off til i get AF so i know dates etc??

who knows??

what would you girls do in my situation?
