Looking good then hoops lets hope we get some good news soon, i can see myself being the only one left on here waiting lol. Ive had 2 mc this year and fell the 1st month i tried, so now its made me more dissapointed i havent got a bfp this time...im getting excited for ya

hoops997 · 21/07/2009 20:36

I really hope so but TBH if I do get a BFP then I will be terrified it will end like last time.........so half of me wants to test the other half doesn't!!

God, why can't this being a woman lark be bloody easy?!

Really hoping this is your month hoops. Shyla, how are you doing? Hope you're keeping well.

Hello to everyone else, hope you're all having a good month.

Wish the sun would come out here, the rain is great for the garden but a bit of sunshine would be good. Enjoying our week off work, not doing too much really, lots of cat care as she's having a few off days. It's like living with a very old person, a very small one of course. She's happy though, sleeps and purrs a lot.

We're doing ok on the BDing front, every 1 - 3 days. It's CD 14 for me, probably carry on until day 26 if we can find the energy. Not sure if I have some kind of bug, feel ok but spending too much time near the loo, no more detail needed. DH feels fine which is good.

Friends' baby shower is coming up, should I be brave and go or pretend I forgot? Just heard this week another friend is 6 weeks pregnant, she's been trying for nearly a year. Feel happy for her, it's always nice to hear preg news. Kind of wish she hadn't told everyone yet though, although I know when you get that positive test you want to tell the world.

It's funny but at this stage of the month I feel kind of positive that at least we're trying to make it happen. If I have ovulated this cycle I think it was the end of last week though, as I wanted to BD all the time, and DH was very interested too which helped.

But also feel too broody at the moment and it's kind of getting me down. We have a holiday booked at the beginning of September and I'm trying to focus on that instead. Easier said than done.

TTC rant over, can breathe again now, thanks girls!

thell · 22/07/2009 23:15

Hello everyone, just popping in. 10 days to go, and the wait is dragging - ugh!

Maisie, I know what you mean about mixed feelings regarding others' news. I'm delighted when any of our TTCers on here gets a +ive, but if someone I know in real life announces it, it feels a bit like a punch in the stomach before I can be pleased.
And I feel guilty about that, because I have a beautiful daughter and really everything would be fine if we didn't have any more. I know people who are struggling to conceive, or who had a terrible time with their first and could do with a strightforward, happy pregnancy the second time round, and of course I don't begrudge them that at all.
But it's still not easy, is it?

thell · 22/07/2009 23:16

PS. Bubba, did AF arrive? When I conceived DD I had lots of PMS symptoms and sore belly, so it ain't over til AF sings!!

bubbalewy · 22/07/2009 23:24

AF sung alright, was yesterday and i was only on cd 22 should only last couple of days tho it usually is quick started up my opk ready for this month lol, its been made redundant since my mc. If i dont fall in the next few months think il give up, not sure i can take this big grey cloud every time... i just wanna relax and enjoy life!! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLP

Momdeguerre · 23/07/2009 09:07

Hi all,
CD 9/10 for me today so we are back with the bding, again.

Thell/Maisie totally know what you mean about hearing others baby news - a very clsoe friend who has been ttc along with me for the last few months announced that she is pg yesterday. I am delighted for her but also jealous and frustrated that I am not joining her - it's not that I don't want her to have a baby - they totally deserve the joy of a new baby - I just wish I was there too.

Really hope I am soon - feel guilty for moaning about ttc when we already have our wonderful son. I know I don't have anything to complain about but I just don't feel rational about this - I think it is because it is hormone fuelled - I want another baby and I am so cross and fed up that I can't seem to conceive, especially as I know I can do this.

Anyway, will finish ranting now.

Onwards and upwards - as ever - hope this is our month.

Bubba, I know just what you mean. Think I've turned into a TTC crazed woman. I can't drink alcohol without feeling guilty, I keeping wanting DH to give up fizzy drinks, alcohol, in fact everything and just BD all the time so we can conceive. Luckily I can vent all this on MN otherwise I think DH would think I'm a lost cause. In my sane moments which are 99% of time I know it's just luck and most things you do won't influence TTC. I know some really unhealthy people have no trouble at all and that if I relax and forgot about everything it's got a better chance of happening. I know that DH and I are healthy and I need to let nature take it's cause in her own time. But I'm still counting the days etc. Maybe after this cycle I'll forget all about it too and just carry on with life - but with no contraception!

shyla01 · 23/07/2009 14:59

hello all. how are we all?

hope the bd is goin well. what date is everyone testing?

i have been fine. still nervous but just taking it 1 day at a time.

funny how during the 2ww i convinced myself that i had morning sickness and then the last week have been absolutely fine! not a heave in sight!

can feel the ms creep up on me last two days tho, got a feeling going to be bad this time around!

good luck to you all.

xx

bubbalewy · 23/07/2009 16:50

MAISIEBOO.. Yr right even though we know its luck we still try and find a reason why bfn each month, crazy huh? its hard to forget about it the only way is to be busy 24/7 lol

MOMDE... wish it was my cd9 id have the OH pinned to the bed, roll on next week.

HOOPS... Dont be terrified it well end bad, i think having a mc makes you aware of how easy it is to loose it, well it did me, (it just happens) like for no reason, but then i had to keep in my head how so complex that stage is and if somethings not right its fantastic how nature protects itself. It was easier for me 2nd time it happened although i was more shocked!! Everything happens for a reason, ark at me gabbling on.. good luck girlie cant wait for ya to test.

hoops997 · 23/07/2009 17:35

bubba I think you're right with everything happens for a reason, and yes there must of been something wrong with him.....nature protecting itself......I am testing Saturday so everything that can be crossed is....how are you....hope AF isn't here too long!!!!

Angelfifi · 24/07/2009 07:52

Hi all,
Just to let you know i did a fr this morning and got a BFP, still in shock and can't belive it but a very strong secound line!!!
Good luck everyone else fingers crossed for you all! xxx

hoops997 · 24/07/2009 08:01

Angelfifi · 24/07/2009 08:06

hoops997 · 24/07/2009 08:31

forgot to say congrats.....yeah internet says due on 2 April....just really hoping that this one sticks I really don't want to go through MMC again, cause it's horrible

Angelfifi · 24/07/2009 08:41

I know what you mean i had a cp and a mc so am feeling a little scared but have to say it feels right this time the last 2 times didn't feel right even when i did a test with the mc i said to dh somethings not right it doesn't feel right but made it to 12 weeks. Fingers crossed it sticks for both of us, Congrates to you.

bubbalewy · 24/07/2009 09:24

Ahhh congratulations to you both, its so good to hear positive news, so it really can happen hehe, hopefully we will all be joining ya this time around.. well done girlies

shyla01 · 24/07/2009 15:52

aww congrat's to you both.

thell · 24/07/2009 21:37

Congratulations!!
I had a good feeling about 24th
Hopefully it will be lucky for more of us... I'm patting my belly and cheerleading my potential ball of cells into existence / implantation!

shyla01 · 24/07/2009 22:14

thell this is defo going to be a lucky month!

what date will you be testing? i know you have probably already said but i am way too tired to re-read the thread!

got a good feeling for the rest of you this month.

only prob is you will all be on april 2010 ante-natal threads and i'll be on march all on my own promise you wont all abandon me?! {moi, needy? never!! lol)

thell · 25/07/2009 10:41

shyla!
I'm sure the other March 2010 ladies will be lovely - you could even start a thread if it's not there already! But of course we won't abandon you

I'll be testing 1st or 2nd Aug, if I'm good. We're going off on holiday on 1st, so I don't want to test early - it would put too much of a downer on the hol if -ive. I'd rather AF just turned up I think. That means you may have to wait til I get back for any news

How's it going? Any MS yet? With DD it kicked in at 6 wks. Fingers crossed it's not too bad.

maisieboo · 25/07/2009 12:23

Congratulations to Hoops and Angelfifi!! Great news.

Shyla, Hoops and Angelfifi - please stay, you give the rest of us hope.

Well I went to the baby shower and it was lovely , glad I went now. While there I heard of another 2 people in RL who are pregnant, and was also contacted that day by an old friend on facebook who is also preg! At least it is happenning for some!

thell · 26/07/2009 08:59

Just poking my head back in to say-

Argh! I HATE WAITING! It's driving me nuts!!
6 more days to go!!
Ok - back to normal.

As you were.

Angelfifi · 26/07/2009 13:29

Good luck thell need some more bfp!!

sky27 · 26/07/2009 14:11

Congrats all with BFP. I'm new to all this. it's my first month ttc. Having symptoms but don't know if they are just due to me coming off the pil?!?!
