Please come and join me add yourselves to the list We can try and keep each other sane

Ihad my contraceptive implant taken out today (if anyone remembers I joined!).

It took 45 mins as it got 'stuck' and I had to keep focussing on 'its worth it' when the woman taking it out said things like 'oh it took one woman 2 hours to get it out, almost had to be sent to hosp for surgical removal' .

She said 'its going to be rather bruised, I would suggest you take some ibroprofen or paracetamol' ie, its gonna hurt like a mofo! And it does right now.

She said, it can take days for my normal fertility to return, but that it has been known for an egg to be released almost immediately. I told DH that and he looked horrified. Think he thought we would have a couple of weeks or something .

So, there we are. The first stage in ttc #2 complete!

Catz - I have a glass of wine right now. I will be, and have been ensuring I drink in moderation, but I will not stop completely until I think I am pg. It could take years . The prospect of no alcohol for that long is too stressful. Would not be conducive in ttc!

pavlov hello and welcome back. glad implant has been removed and you can get on with ttc

devil i have also taken heed. i ordered pizza and a bottle of FAT coke to drown my sorrows

angel ime first response were the best. i used it 5 days early and got a bfp. (first pee of the day) it is however your decision as to wether you test again or wait to see if AF arrives tuesday. whats it gonna be coz im as excited as you are

GOOD LUCK for tomorrow getting

of course you can drink when ttc!
silly!

Hi all, haven't been around much as we've just moved house and everythings still up in the air. I've still got the lotiony white cm (with a few thicker white snotty bits) and slightly tender nipples but i think this is more to do with the Clomid than being pregnant. Its day 28 tomorrow, but i don't know when i'm due on, i've had some dull aches and am incredibely grumpy - typically af symptoms. Hows everyone else?

OK - rioja in hand!

If you google alcohol and TTC there are lots of very scary things! I guess there are enough children of drunken nights who are OK!

google ANYTHING and you get a scary result.
SERIOUSLY do not read health things on the net.

ESPECIALLY to do with pg, ttc and childcare.

(mumsnet excluded)

bubble... I think I might be able to hold out until Tuesday, but if not, Monday morning.
I'm excited, I must admit, but trying not to get my hopes to high.
Appreciate your joint excitement hun, much love x

too*

Quick question: how long does sperm 'survive'? I have CM today, but DP not here, annoyingly! We BD last Weds - any chance the little critters will still be healthy enough? Will a BD tomorrow be too late. I'm not up on what CM actually means!

God i am ashamed of myself!!! i entered my data on ff this morn and its saying i ovd a few days ago (day 11). but we didnt bd yest (we did 6,8,10,12.) now i am panicking that it isnt right or that i didnt bd enough... i thought i would ov after day 14 as my cycle is normally 30 days. now i feel really sad and think that im def out for this month. feel like crying and am quite embarrassed about my reaction.

Hi All!

I'm hailing from the Sept ttc thread, where quite a few of you have already moved from. Hope you don't mind if I join you?

I'm at 12dpo and starting to feel quite hopeful since last cycle AF arrived 10dpo. My temp seems to be high and rising too. I was going to be strong and wait until monday to test, but I'm weak and have a bagfull of cheapie ebay HPTs burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet. I tested first thing in the morning and imagined the palest, faintest ghost of a line. I think it must be my imagination and it was too dark to check under natural daylight. So another day of suspense for me then.

Oh poor bubblebell1, don't feel ashamed at being disappointed! I probably would have had the same reaction in your position. If you BD'd the day before ov, you still have a very decent chance. My last BD was 3 days before I ovd (i'd given up, then it happened) and I'm not out of the game yet. Just keep Bding until you feel you've covered all bases.

So I've got my fingers crossed for you

thanks missie good luck.. i hope its a BFP in the morn

will add you in now

bubble and hobnob I know everyone is different but I managed to concieve dd 5 days after last bd, in fact I think it was while I was away with the Guides! If it wasn't that dd looked so much like dh I think he might wonder!

Bd'd last night to "clear the way", today is dd's 2nd birthday so prob won't manage it tonight but hopefully will kick off bding tomorrow.

Angel My boobs were alot like yours when I was pg. I would wake myself up turning over in bed. The "pimples" could be mongomery tubercles, if you look them up it might make sense. Good luck

thanks small happy birthday to your dd

Ta, babydust to all

Hobnobfanatic, I believe sperm can last about 5 days in the best CM conditions. The 'eggwhite' cervical mucus (EWCM) is the most fertile stuff (named that way because it is clear & stretchy like raw eggwhite). The next best stuff is the creamy/lotiony cm - some women never get ewcm in their cycles (I didn't this time) and have this as their most fertile fluids instead. Then there's the sticky stuff that appears in the non-fertile parts of the cycle; I think this stuff is the Anti-Sperm of cm, and sperm can only last about 24h in it.
Hope that helps to answer some of your questions.

Hi everyone. Good Luck to everyone! What a long wait - I can't bear it! I last posted ages ago and have been keeping a low profile - trying not to think about it and get on with normal life after last months fiasco (tested positive early and then AF arrived bang on time boo - 48 hours of excitement and the poof! I did feel quite hideous with it though - sick as a dog, sleepy, ravenous and it kept going through my mind that my body was doing too much - I couldn't keep up) so am definitely waiting until have completely missed AF. She's quite regular at 30/31 days.

I don't count or chart but have BDed all month up until a few days ago so we're hitting and hoping so to speak.

As for trying to pre-empt the result: I felt dizzy the other day for 2 seconds. I felt sick in the middle of the night last night. My boobs feel fine - if a little bigger ;-) but that could easily be AF. I have had the odd funny taste in my mouth but I think that is me reading things into things. I do have quite a lot of creamy cm which is a little bizarre. I am eating loads but think it is a little bit of comfort eating, and I am loving coffee, which I went off last month and my mum went off coffee every time she was preggers too. So due to my taste for a nice cuppa, I might be out of this month - watch this space I suppose.

I am drinking whenever I like too as millions of women have drunk before pregnancy and if I didn't do what I want to do during this TTC business, it would turn me into a nutbar. Also, after last months alleged chemical pregnancy, i want a nice healthy strong bean that can survive the odd glass of wine or three.

Sorry for the essay . Good cyber vibes to everyone. Statistically, some people from our list HAVE to get pregnant this month so fingers crossed for everyone!

that is supposed to read - and then poof!)

bubbles, don't worry about not bding on the ov day. i think i ov on day14 (me and dh bded 13 and 15). i think you'll be covered.

tmi alert:

can i also give you the tip of making sure you come after he does. apparently that helps the little buggers get there

when are people testing then?

do you think that ff could of got it wrong?? or could i just be having a short cycle this time?? opk was neg today aswell.. been pos since cd11.

devil thats another thing im doing wrong then. i always arrive before dh does that matter???

Right now im going to sound like a right twat but does having a hot bath kill of the lil swimmers?

bubblebell oddly enough I was wondering about that this morning...

Glad someone ahs asked the question as I am wanting to know the answer too

Hi everyone !

Bubble... I have no idea if baths have an effect on swimmers?? Sorry.

Implantation Bleeding:
Can anyone advise me on this?
This morning I woke (CD25) to find a light brown CM, but I'm not due my AF until CD28. Throughout the day I have been having elastic band like twangs in my right pelvic area... Are these normal symptoms?

This is all new to me and not usual AF symptoms, but she could be playing games?!

Angelfairy have you done a pregnancy test?
