October

Ghosty - when are you due? Can't be October, can it?!!!!

No Lucie ... I was grinning at October ... the mumsnetter ... who just made a joke about a phantom pregnancy ....!!
Looks like it will be the end of January ... all going well of course ...

Silly me - haven't engaged brain yet!!! Glad to hear all is going well. Trapped here within the confines of the square mile, its great to hear some happy news...fingers crossed for the rest of us this month!
You should set up a January baby discussion on the pregnancy thread.

Hello - Bayleaf I'm so sorry - was holding my breath for you all weekend (I've been away) and I'm so disappointed for you. You're an inspiration for us all on this thread - but let's hope we can kick you out very soon..! (although you'd actually need to keep posting with all your advice/expertise!)

Ghosty - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the right time to try again will be when we're on holiday - why does it always seem to work out that way? I won't have tried since March and it's starting to do my head in... Dp and I might start to look into getting our donor's sperm frozen and stored down here, so at least the 250 mile round trip could be avoided, but I know frozen sperm isn't 'as good' as fresh, so I'm not sure. Ho hum. Something else to think about.

Just a few questions to ask as i am really confused lately. I did start using this site last month when i was trying to get pregnant.
Did anyone have period pains when they were first pregnant. I have heard that you can have the symptoms but i am now 4 days late and i have got a horrible stomache. Just need to know whether it is possible.
Thanks

Loobie732 - I had period pains around the times my period would've been due for the first 3 mths of my pg.

Have you done a test?
Good luck.

No i haven't done a test yet. Trying to put it off as long as possible just in case i do come on. It is very frustrating though i cant wait to have a baby. I have been trying for 7 months now. Thanks for your comment M2T. I just hope that i am pg. Fingers and toes crossed!!!

Loobie - I would do a test and put yourself out of your misery. If you are 4 days late, the result should be pretty conclusive. I did get period pains when I conceived ds and some light bleeding so didn't suspect I was pg until about 7 weeks when my boobs got sore....good luck

Loobie ... I definitely had period pains when I was pg with my DS ... Didn't the last pregnancy ... but did over last weekend when I was due on and I am pregnant ... I think it is quite common!! Is your period often late or are you always regular? If you are usually regular then a test will give you a pretty definite result! Do a test ... go on ... you know you want to!!!

Took a pg test this morning when i got up but nothing happened. Left it half an hour and so far nothing is showing on it. No line no nothing, so inconclusive. I think i might go down to boots and try their own brand of pg tests as i have heard that they are alot better than clear blue.
Still havent come on, obviously, still getting very impatient and still having period pains. I have checked my dates several times, and i have definatly got may dates right.
Only time will tell!!

Strange not to have any lines at all - did the test window not work either? If not, that was probably a defective test. Yes, the Boots tests are supposed to be good so I would get one today and see how you go. Let us know - getting excited for you now!!!

No the test window didnt work either. I thought that i had done something wrong but apparently not, as i have gone through the instructions several times before. I think that i am PG but i am going to get the boots test and hopefully find out that for sure that i am. Early days though. Thanks for your advice.

Loobie - looks like the test definitely didn't work. Go now!!! Get another one.

I second M2T - the test window should work. Go and get another test and let us know

Hi - i'm on my 4th month ttc for number 2 and I know its not long but it only took 2 months last time . Anyhow - just planning this month and wondering is the advice generally to have sex every 2 days from say day 6 till day 18, or every day from say day 10 till 15......???
My cycle was irregular but has stabilised - the last few months were 25, 25, 26, 29, 28.
If it doesn't happen this months I'll start temping ....
Any advice appreciated.

The advice is generally every other day. Since your cycles tend towards the shorter, I would err towards starting earlier in the cycle. Good luck!!

Flipping heck. Just started my period much later than I thought. I had a really strong ovulation line on day 8, but my cycle's been 31 days (thought it would be much shorter). So difficult to plan when it's all going to happen next month... Day 8 this month may be do-able in terms of insemination, but any later and we're on holiday (through to day 14).

Ho hum. Ignore me - I'm obsessing about days again!
