Hello ladies,

Just wondering if I can join in too?

I'm pretty much ready to TTC but hesitating a bit. I'm 26, been married for 5 years and DH and I have discussed babies in detail recently and we're ready. BUT. I'm having a career change and doing a second masters at the moment. I want a baby but I think it would be career-suicide to get pregnant within the first year or two of working in a new industry. So I'm thinking of starting TTC now, while I'm still on the course so I can hopefully take my time out (it's not maternity leave if I haven't started...) before I technically start working again.

But then again, that's hoping to get very lucky and conceive pretty soon.

Any thoughts or advice would be great!

Hello Ladies,

I see we have all dropped off here. I have been avoiding this thread on purpose -

What is everyone else's excuse???

What have you all been up to? Any news?

My periods are still weird.

CD1 - AF arrives
CD14 - AF arrives
CD44 - AF arrives

iyswim - i'm having a period then I get a week 'off' then another comes on - then I get 23 days or so then another and so on.... this is technichally the 2nd month of this - as far as checking my calendar out for dates.

TejasGal · 13/12/2009 16:36

I'm still checking the thread, but have no good news to report. Got AF with a vengeance this morning, and after I thought that some spotting yesterday was implantation bleeding. As it turns out, I have a short luteal phase, so I suppose that will be the next thing that I need to sort out with the docs. Hope everyone is having more luck than me...?

legallyblond · 14/12/2009 10:11

Hello.... haven't been on for AGES!

Although we were supposed to officially begin TTC in January, that kinda went out of the window this weekend.. which was day 13 of my cycle.... hmmmm! Still, I think it was a little late as I am fairly sure I ovulated early this month, on day 11.

BUT.... I guess I am now officially (finally) TTC so can add stats!

TTC#1, cycle 1, UCL 28, CD 16.

Hope everyone else is well, although all seems v quiet...

Hiya everyone,

Ant have you been to see your doctor about the randomness of your cycles? It could be a hormone imbalace thats causing it-you should visit to put your mind at ease.

Well i am now officially on cycle 2 of clomid. I spotted from day 27 until 30, then started af late last nite. im meant to take it day 1-5 but it was too late to take it last nite so im taking it today instead.

H=ow is everyone else?

Hey Ladies,

Too busy Xmas shopping to come on this thread??? Or too busy with other things

Seany - Sorry to hear AF got you. How is the clomid going? Any side effects? Where do you spend your Xmas?

AF is due to rear her ugly head on the 18/19th - so that should be fun. At least I get a break over Xmas. Having said that, I have extremely sensitive nipples which DP thinks is amusing. Can't remember if I had this the last few months.... but I am not in any way symptom spotting.

Can't get an appointment with GP as they are overrun with folk who have the flu/cold/swine flu. Only free appointment is next week, but we will be back in Scotland by then.... so will just have to wait until after new year.

Anybody have ANY news?????

Need something to lift my spirits

Antdamm · 17/12/2009 19:40

Echo, echo.......

Antdamm · 18/12/2009 19:49

Heellllllllllllloooooooooooooooo!

Is there anybody out there?????

I'm getting a bit bored here on my own

mrsZaC · 19/12/2009 12:47

hey ladies, sorry for my non-attendance, was getting fed up because I had no af and no bfp!

This morning, I'm not sure why, I tested and got a faint positive on a first response!!!!

I'm so confused as I have no idea when my cycle began, as I've not had AF since coming off the pill 2 months ago... thinking about going and getting a digital test and doing again tomorrow morning, or should i use the other 4 first response's that I have in the bathroom?? yikes!!!!!

Antdamm · 21/12/2009 23:16

Woohoo congrats MrsZac

Have u tested since?

AF is late for me - was due on 18th and have had no signs of the arrival yet. Did do a test on Friday night (stupid, stupid I know) and it was neg.

Am thinking of retesting soon....

How about everyone else??

mrsZaC · 22/12/2009 09:19

hey ant,

Yes I've tested since and got 1 much darker positive and a digital the following day with 'pregnant 1-2 weeks'

Fingers crossed for you, you never know best of luck!!!

I'm slowly getting more excited as it's not dawning on me that I might acutally be preggers! off to the doctors today, I'm not holding out any home they will be even remotely interested but thought I would go anyway

legallyblond · 22/12/2009 11:31

Sorry sorry - I have hardly been on here! So busy what with work and Christmas...

I am on the 2ww.. due on 27 Dec and I am trying not to test until (more like, if) af is late.... it is proving easier said than done! Plus I am not drinking (although I may have a glass on Christmas day itself), just in case... also much easier said than done!

CONGRATS MrsZac!!!

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 22/12/2009 14:01

ant i just realised i posted a reply to your post the other day when you asked where i will spend christmas. I wrote a really long reply and for some reason it didnt go on [bottom lip pushed out in a sulk emoction]

Anyway i will be spending xmas day in dps parents house like we do every year, and boxing day i am going to attempt to make my own dinner lol better have the takeaway on speed dial just in case lol
I usually go to my mums on boxing day but my stepdad is working this year so the dinner was cancelled.
What are you doing for xmas?

legallyblond · 04/01/2010 13:48

Happy New year!

Its jolly quiet here....

af got me on 23rd Dec, so I'm busy bd'ing as I'm on CD 13 and have a tendancy to ov early.

Anyone have any news....?

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 05/01/2010 13:33

hi everyone!!

Happy new year!! Hope you all had a lovely christmas.

Legally sorry to hear af came. Fingers crossed for this month!!

im on cd24, so if afs gonna make an appearance i should start spotting any time from saturday.

im very nervous cause if af comes i have to start my last round of clomid. They only gave me a 3 month supply and the consultant doesnt want to see me again until 3 months after i finish the last round , so will be april before i get any more progress.

I've finally convince DP to TTC our second baby!!!!
Very happy about that!!!
Was hoping to have a romantic dinner tonight follow by some baby dancing but he told me very late that he was going out for dinner with some friends who are going to fliy bak to NZ very soon...so I had to have dinner aone and because I had the bottle of rose we were supposed to share, I'll be fast asleep by the time he comes back home and won't be in the mood!!!
Hopefully tomorrow night things will go better!

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 11/01/2010 13:45

Hiya everyone.

Welcome Luce and Sophie and good luck!!!!!

Yes sophie im ttc #2 as well. Im 24 and have been trying since May 2008, so we've had a bit of a tough time to be honest. Im on my last round of 50mg clomid at the at minute so everything is crossed that it works this month. our ds is 2 years 4 mths and we'd really love a little brother or sister for him.

How is everyone else doing? Does anyone have any good news to cheer me up???

OP posts:
sophieandbelly · 11/01/2010 16:12

o good luck seanybosmummy,

my friend took that and was sucessful so fingers crossed,did you also take it to help your pregnancy?

i have heard mixed reviews on the side effects hope your not suffering to much!

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 13/01/2010 21:36

where has everyone gone?????????????

Thanks sophie-its always good to hear success stories Hows things with you?

This month is the first i have had any side effects from the clomid (the 1st 2 rounds were fine). For some strange reason it has made my af this month really light and short, and i have slightly sore boobs and an uncomfortable feeling in my pelvis,nothing too drastic!
I really really hope it works this month cause i dont see the consultant again until April.
I fell pg naturally with ds on 5th month of trying.

How is everyone else doing?

Weevie · 13/01/2010 22:36

Hi,
My husband and I have decided to try for a baby, im new to mumsnet and was hoping to join your thread?
Hope your all ok!

legallyblond · 14/01/2010 14:18

Hi all

I'm on the dreaded 2ww again....

Should we start putting up stats again now the thread has become a bit more active (hooray!)? I'll kick off:

legallyblond TTC#1 ucl 28 cd22

I am not too hopeful this months for 2 reasons... had v lttle (or none!) EWCM this month, which is really odd for me, and missed doing the deed on cd 13,14 and 15....
