we're starting to ttc this motnh after my period and what a suprise, my period is late.due like clockwork every 28 days and im now on day 30.no possible way im pregnant yet though so just very annoyed!!

i had all my dates planned for the next few months of when id be ovulating and now it's all gone out the window if my periods start to be irregular.i think my body knows what we're planning!

nervous as anything and excited too. it will be our third, our boys are 7 and 8 now so will be quite a shock going back to nappies and bottles and endless crying and throwing up on i think (ours were both like that)but definitely worth it

i dont carry well either so fingers crossed for a postive result in the next few months, an easy pregnancy for a change, straight forward c section fingers crosed(thats another story!) and then the fun begins...

for the first time in my life i actually want my period so i know whats going on!

Soory immaterial thinking of you

Curly good to see you are TTC now like all of us.

Good luck and hoping for BFP's for those of you near to testing time!

IM sorry af got you

No sign of af yet but on knicker watch. I'm in elasticated trousers because my tummy is so bloated...AF will be bad this month me thinks

Good luck to all testing

Curly it looks like we will be cycle buddies this round. I'm so happy you can finally get down to business! I had miscounted my cd, so I updated below. We're pretty close in time. Immaterial sorry about the AF.

Right now, I'm dying for time to pass more quickly. It's funny how you can't wait for the 2ww to end, then, once AF comes, you can't wait to get there again. I've started taking b6 and b12 this cycle so that I can feel like I'm actually doing something constructive while waiting to start the serious BDing.

I just updated to fix my miscount...

yeay aly I'm happy to have a buddy! I reckon I'll be testing weekend of 12/09 - when my parents are visiting! Could be interesting...

I know what you mean about waiting - everything's stuck in two-week blocks. Stuff my work diary, I'm following my body diary.

DH away for two days this week CD12 -14 - so going to have to make good use of him before he goes - even if that means him waking up with me at 6am on Tuesday!

Happy thoughts for all those testing this week

Morning all

sky, CJ and Ozzy are you guys still waiting for AF or testing soon?

Think we need to see some BFP's to keep us all going.

Now on 2ww so trying not to think about it but can't wait really. I think I'll be thinking about testing on my birthday or there abouts which would be a great birthday pressie if we can get a BFP - I know it's not likely as we are only on 2nd cycle but hopeful all the same!

Good luck if you are testing soon

Morning Blue Still waiting, now 8 dpo and I tested this morning BFN - but what did I expect?!? AF due tomorrow so if not here I'll test again

Good luck CJ and Ozzy

Morning all -

Hope we all had a nice weekend. Sorry AF came IM

Great news Curly - we are cycle buddies too. I also will be testing the weekend of 12/9, although I am at a wedding on that saturday (brother in law) and DH is the best man, so I think I'll wait til the Sunday to test (if AF hasn't got me by then). Don't want to stress DH out even more than the speech! lol

Lots of BD over the weekend, but by last night the novelty and sparkle had worn off. Guess I better give it a rest tonight, but also can't help thinking I'm really coming up to the best couple days... and this next one could be the one.... why does this have to be so stressful!

Anyway - any news from our testers?

Sky sorry about the BFN hope AF doesn't come and get you and that you are in for a BFP soon

Good morning all... Just a short message as I'm on my phone in work.
Sorry to hear AF has caught up with a few if us since I was last on MN. Thinking of you all.
No news with me as yet although I have a feeling AF will be making an appearance soon

wishing BFP to you all!

Hello everyone, a warm welcome to mumandlovingit

Sorry to hear about AF Immaterial and fulham, wishing you all the best for next month.

fulham I can understand why you felt like crying and your concern with why you didn't conceive after BDing at all the right times, I think it's something we all start to think about, but it is still early days (easy to say I know) and you will get there

I would like to remain optimistic myself, but on the other hand:

I agree aly and Curly, I'm in the 1WW now and just want to know one way or the other. I feel so distracted by this feeling of am I aren't I for the whole 2WW, it's definitely worse this month and it's only our 3rd month of trying, I hope I fall PG soon (and everyone else of course)

As kkas said "why does this have to be so stressful!", It's tough isn't it, good practice I suppose for mother/parenthood

Thanks Blue Fulham last af I cried for about 15 minutes! I was gutted - but then felt more positive.

If af gets me in the next few days I'm going to having to go on a diet - expanding waistband!

Good luck all

Sorry to hear that fulham. Lots of choccies and red wine being sent your way.

sky I know what you mean. Although my waistband def follows my cycle, so just wait a week or so (either AF will help shed a few or... better yet - you won't care about your waistband for at least 9 months!) Here's hoping it's the latter!!!

Does anyone else have a friend who so desperately does not want them to get pregnant that they gloat when you say your due and have cramps?!? She has just made me cry twice Unfortunately I can't get away coz she's staying with us for awhile, which is the only reason she knows we are TTC.

Feel really low, af is chasing

kkas thanks, here's hoping

sky, that is awful. What is her problem? I don't have a friend like that and I can't imagine what it must be like for you. Some people are just so thoughtless..

I have a big mouth and have told too many people that we are trying. Fortunately, everyone is rooting for it to happen and it is nice to have the support when I get down. Unfortunately, it does make it slightly worse when it doesn't happen quickly, and the "just relax, it'll happen" is killing me.

fulham sorry about the af. I cried last month, too. Didn't expect it to be so emotional. Like I was saying, it also sucks that first you get the af, then you're stuck waiting with nothing to do until OV time. I decided to treat myself everytime af comes. This last month, I got a cute new dress and a sushi dinner. It helped a little.

Thanks aly I hate the 'just relax, it won't happen if your stressed' lines too - like them saying it is going to make you less stressed!

sky, she doesn't sound much like a friend to me, why doesn't she want you to get PG?

Claire She is broody but doesn't have a partner, I've tried not to talk about it or mention anything apart from that af is due tomorrow, i don't want to upset her but it's starting to get me down all the snide little comments
