Hello ladies! As I expected, real life has gotten the best of me for the past couple of weeks and has interfered with my "mumsnet time." I just finished up murder trial #1 and will be starting #2 in about a week.

This thread is so busy, I can't keep up with everyone! Welcome to anyone new (Sunny) and congrats to any BFP's I missed, addie, worrisome, and chance!! Zippys, I hope everything is ok and I'm sorry you're having to go through all this. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon (and it'll be a quick fix).

Sorry to everyone who has been stressed or bummed out. It really sucks that this process can be so draining and can affect so many other things in your life.

Despite all my fears, I still managed to ovulate yesterday. I used the cbfm and it worked wonderfully. I think I'm also going to try a small amount of progesterone cream this cycle as well to see if it will help my lp since three months of b vitamins didn't seem to work.

In addition to the cbfm, I also used the cheapie sticks. The biggest benefit to the sticks is that I can use them anytime and can see the surge coming and as soon as it gets here, unlike the monitor that you only use in the am. So, the sticks let me see my surge when it actually came in the evening. I liked that on the monitor I could see the estrogen coming, so I had a little more warning of ov. Good lord, I am a total poas addict ...

In a few minutes I'm going to see one of my dearest friends. She's visiting from out of town and I'm VERY excited to see her. We only see each other about once a year. However... she is five months pregnant. She's 38, single and got pregnant accidentally. It's good, and I'm very supportive and happy for her, but it just makes me feel a little sad that it's taking me so long. She's very supportive of me as well, but it is just a little strange. I can't help but think that I should be the pregnant one...

Ok, I'm off. Sorry for the long post! It seems that we should have some testing going on very soon. Good luck!

Thanks for your confidence in me crying at neighbours as a symptom - personally I think the only thing I need to test is my mental state!

Have been bored at my conference all day - only 2 more days to go though . Then I'm at work for the rest of the week - this is the most work related stuff I've done at once for about 3 months! Normally I only work 3 days a fortnight. Maybe the shock of it is what made me blub at neighbours!

Hello first time frolickers. Just dropping in to see who has graduated and what the news is. Congrats to all those with BFPs.

I am hanging about waiting to start trying again after having another miscarriage (2 in 2 cycles, lucky old me). Am seriously hoping it will be 3rd time lucky for us.

No idea what I'm doing CD wise after this mc so not going to go back on the stats yet. Just wanted to say hello.

Hello All

This is my first time on this website so not exactly sure where to begin.

Have just taken my final pill and now plan is TTC. Have I come to the right place?

Looking forward to chatting to you all

You have Bellaby, welcome

To add you to the list you need your cycle number, which I assume will be 1, usual cycle length, and which day you are in your cycle. You'll get used to all the abbreviations soon, it's confusing at first!

Need advice (and to stop symptom spotting!) I'm on CD12, we think I ov'd on the CD8-9 (EWCM and bad cramps), now I have a metallic taste in my mouth. Dare I hope?

Also Muser I'm sorry to hear that , will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Afternoon all! How are you all? I went out and saw some old work colleges last night, it was so much fun. But, I did eat way too much. It was worth it though. I still have sore nipples and yesterday had these weird pokey type pains down in the bottom of my tummy yesterday, some of them were a mite uncomfortable as well. Also had a truck load of EWCM as well. Personally I thought I had finished with that stage of my cycle. Oh well, the entertainment continues. LOL!

How is everybody else this fine day?

Aly What is it you do? Sounds very interesting whatever it is. I hope this cycle is a lucky one, I know what you mean about other people becoming pg around you. I think it tends to come in waves. About four of my friends are expecting at the moment and its a little strange to be honest. I'm happy for them, but I want to be the one pouring over the Mothercare website.

Bellaby Welcome to the thread, you have come to the right place, we're a friendly bunch round these parts.

Muser Glad to see you back on the thread, I'm sorry it's been a hard couple of months for you.

Kaloki I've been trying so hard not to sympton spot, all I can say though is that google is not a good thing for me at the moment. Heres hoping that this is your month!!!

Good luck all of you that are testing in the next few days and to all of you who are BDing, good luck and have fun!

Quick popping in of head to see what's doing with the gurlzzzz today! Hey Kaloki metallic taste a few days after ov... well it could be, couldn't it! I have my fingers crossed for you. Any heartburn? My sis said that was her only early symptom!

Heyyyy Aly and Muser nice to see you gosh sorry to hear about the 2 mc's Muser, but remember it seems that people get 'superfertile' after one of those so I'm hoping for third cycle lucky for you xx

Welcome to Sunnyandwild and Bellaby and good luck on the ttc rollercoaster! This is a lucky lucky thread so hang on to your hat

I'm just waiting for AF to clear orf before getting back into the swing of things with DH. He's in the kitchen cooking up a storm (well a veggy curry) as we've a couple of friends coming over for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to a very rare glass or two of wine as I've got tomorrow off work yayyyy!

What's your conference about Bunny? Sorry you're having a boring weekend! After next week's workfest put aside a day for yourself just to slob about and be lazy

Hairy I'm at your 'mucus cascade' LOL wish mine would do that, I need a bloomin magnifying glass most times to work out what kind of cm I'm having! Sometimes I only know I've got ewcm because of the 'slippery wipe' rather than actually seeing anything (sorry if TMI)!

It's lovely to see you chance

Whoops hit send before I finished... ach well I'm just blethering nothing anyway, will just say have a lovely rest of Sunday everyone

Thanks Kaloki, Hermya and Calyx.

wow you are right - lots of abbreviations but am slowly learning. No doubt I'll ask lots of silly questions on here

I am in Cycle 1, no idea on usual cycle length (have been on the pill for 12 years).

How do I know which day of the cycle I am on?

Wish it wasn't Sunday evening - 5 days until the weekend

Bellaby When was the first day of your period? Count how many days it's been since then and thats what cycle day you're on. If you have just come off your pill, count from your withdrawal bleed. Thats what I've done. So if you started your period tomorrow that would be cycle day one.

Also ask as many silly questions as you like, we've all been there. When I first started with TTC, I logged onto fertility friend and started charting. Not everyone wants to do it, but they do have a little email course that they send you over twenty days that provides some useful information.

So anyway ask away and welcome on board!

Muser, I'm so very sorry to hear about your MC. This has got to be so difficult for you. I'm sure things will work out for you. Last night, a dear friend with 2 amazing little girls told me that she had two mcs before her first daughter. I hadn't known. They never figured out why the mcs occurred, but things went well with both the babies after that. She got pregnant with the second daughter very quickly and without a problem. Please take care of yourself and know we're all here.

Kaloki I wish I had a metallic taste in my mouth. It sounds like a sympton to me! It must be nice to have such short cycles. I have to wait three weeks after af to O. Not fair!

Calyx, big wave back .

Hermya Congrats on the "truck load" of ewcm. I think the pill really screwed me up with that. I don't generally get much. It's finally starting to return 8 months after going off bc. Now's time the fun sympton spotting part of your cycle. I love the "I just might be!" moments... By the way, I'm an attorney in the US. I represent people who are charged with crimes who can't afford an attorney. It's a job that can be highly rewarding, but that can also be very stressful and emotional. It has had some effects on my cycles due to the especially stressful nature of the work. That's why I was so surprised to ov on time. I figured the stress of my last murder trial would definitely send O away for awhile. I'm very happy it didn't!

So, I saw my pregnant friend last night. She's like family to me, but I still have mixed feelings about her pregnancy. (Now I'm going to sound like a real bitch) It really bothers me that she got pregnant without even trying. The baby's dad is a man she had only been seeing for a couple of weeks who just had a baby with another woman a year ago. My friend can barely make ends meet and generally lives a "party" lifestyle despite being in her late thirties. She makes lots of bad decisions, but always seems to end up ok somehow.
Throughout the night, she was a little insensitive my whole ttc thing, but I know it wasn't intentional and that she really wants and believes that I'll be pregnant soon, too. The hard part of the evening however, and I'm not trying to start anything here, I may just be a judgmental bitch, was that it really got to me that she had multiple glasses of wine last night as well. I think she had four. Here I've been so insane about my diet, drinking, vitamins etc. and I can't even get knocked up. She says her dr says it's fine (I have a feeling that he said an occasional glass is probably fine). She was a BIG drinker before getting pregnant. It just sucks to see someone who really seems to be taking it for granted ... I just wish it were me.

Ok, sorry, I just needed to vent.

Vent away Aly I'm not suprised that you feel frustrated

I don't normally have short periods, actually I'm not sure what my periods are meant to be anymore. As far as I can tell I ovulate anywhere between CD8 and CD28 [shrugs] nuisance body

Muser I'm so sorry to hear you're going through mc number 2. I hope you recover soon and I'll send you sticky thoughts when you're ready to try again.

Aly vent away. It must be so hard for you when you're trying so hard to TTC to have a friend that just seems to take it all forgranted.

Calyx My conference is the international orthodontic congress - it only happens once every 5 years so it's a big thing in the world of straightening teeth. It's in London in 2015 and when they were awarded it the organising comittee made out like it was bigger than when it got the Olympics

Welcome bellaby. Just remember that no question is too silly, and no amount of information is too much here!

One of my best friends had baby no. 2 the other day, so I snuck out early this afternoon to buy her a present. There were soooo many cute baby clothes to choose from - I just need one of my own to dress up now

My temps seem to be dropping slowly, so I think AF will probably arrive in the next 3 days or so. If that happens then I can't even put my crying at Neighbours incident down to pg symptoms so will just have to admit that I'm crazy!

Hello everyone! I'm awake early as I can't seem to sleep properly just now, there's a lot of tension at work at the moment which is probably why.

Welcome Bellaby, you've come to the right place, be prepared to go insane TTC! You've no doubt read that it can take a while after coming off the pill (I was on it for 12 years too) so don't worry if it doesn't happen straight away or your cycles are all over the place. That's easier said than done though!

Sorry to hear about your second mc Muser, hopefully it will be third time lucky for you.

Kaloki, I'm not sure what symptoms to look for anymore as I think I've had them all in the past few months!

Calyx, there's no such thing as TMI on this thread! I was the same as you with EWCM until this month when it was more like hairytriangle. It just makes me hope in vain that this might be the month for a BFP.

Aly323, it must have been frustrating seeing your friend being so laid back about being pregnant. One thing I've learned from TTC is that life (and the creation of it) isn't very fair. Your friend should watch her drinking though but I'm not sure she would appreciate being told so.

bunny if AF does come put the crying down to PMT!

I think AF must be on the way. Been having similar symptoms to last month but still holding out some hope that pregnancy has the same symptoms as AF. I don't think I'd notice any extra tiredness as I work shifts and have a medical condition which can cause that. Got sore boobs just now and felt bloated and nauseous on Friday but that happened last month too. I hate the 2ww (or in my case sometimes 3ww)!
DH and I have rejoined the gym in an effort to improve our fitness and hopefully our chances of conceiving. I've decided to pretty much stop drinking alcohol and caffeine. I was really mad at DH for drinking lots at the weekend. He said he was going to ease back on it too then went to a friends house where a 'couple' turned into a bit of a session. I wouldn't mind if that rarely happened but he practically has to be locked in the house at weekends! I'm probably not being very fair on him as he was more keen than me to TTC initially and he does seem to be able to keep it in perspective and not go mad once a month like me!

Morning all. Thanks Yorkshire for posting those stats, they are very comforting.

Muser I'm so sorry to hear about your mcs. You must be going through such a lot at the moment. Keeing fingers crossed for third time lucky.

Aly you don't sound like a bitch to me - it sounds very frustrating - sometimes it's really annoying to be making all this effort with diet, drinking etc and feel like it doesn't help, especially when others are not bothering even when pg! MN is a totally guilt-free place to vent, happily. Also, the pill screwed up my CM too, and I'm also just getting some back after 8 months - I feel ridiculously proud when I see some now!

I'm due to ov on Friday so gearing up for a week of - ahem - activity. Funny to think I once thought TTC might be done casually and romantically - had a practical conversation with DH last night in which I informed him we would need to get down to it every night this week so as not to miss my fertile window - he nodded determinedly - what romance!

welcome to new people! I would also second the recommendations of FF, I am a total addict. Love all the nerdy stats features, graphs etc.

chalky Same here, I had the metallic taste 2 months ago and got a BFN, so I have no idea what it means.

Hello everybody!

Sorry for being away for so long but the stage-strutting rather took over last week. I am, however, my own person once again and am currently being very sad by reading my way through the first 9 FF emails and feeling very pleased with myself for my 100% success rate at the quizzes - what a loser!

I'm doing all that I can to distract myself from the fact that, 35 days after stopping the pill, I STILL have had nothing happen. I really don't want this to last months... I was only on the pill for a few years (am 26) but suppose that it still messes stuff up.

Sorry that I haven't been able to catch up with everyone but the thread has moved on SO much since I last checked that I've had a wonderful read through but don't know where to start. But I promise to be a good girl from now on and read every day!

Quick question about diet, should I be avoiding caffeine in preparation or just after an ovulation/bding session? I'm not very naughty (two cups of coffee & maybe a glass of diet coke most days)...

Hope Monday is treating everyone well and that the good February vibes are keeping people going through the sleet (at least here in England).

Evening everybody, I really don't know what the heck is going on with me. I feel like I'm an emotional fruitcake at the moment. I'm crying at the drop of a hat, snapping at DH and just feel down right miserable. I've had AF achey type cramps today, but no AF has appeared (I really hope she doesn't). I've been up and down all night the last few nights as well, so I'm getting a tad tired. My nipples feel like they've got glass in them and I have visited the loo more times than I care to remember. I've also been feeling a bit sicky, but thats nothing new. It was made ten times worse by the driving though.

I'm sorry for whinging, I'm just feeling a bit down and the fact that my body has decided to go a bit mental just adds insult to injury.

Ok rant over, on the plus side despite the fact that my drive wasn't as good today (I cried in front of the instructor again) I have gone through to tomorrow. Plus I've discovered that my mascara really does live up to that fact that it'll stay put through tears, rubs and rain.

Kurly To be honest I limited my caffine intake recently. I try and keep it down to three caffinated drinks a day and decaff the rest of the time. Did you have your withdrawal bleed from the pill??

Calyx I agree with Chalky there is no such thing as TMI round these parts. I think in a place where the goings on of our knickers is common place coversation, I'd say feel free to share.

Pidgin I know what you mean I did the same to my DH as well. I love my graph as well, I'm a bit sad in that I want to print the damn thing.

Aly Your friend sounds like hard work, its such a kick in the teeth when someone who didn't want a LO suddenly falls pg with no effort at all. I was thinking about it earlier today, you know you hear the old adage 'well we got a bit drunk and I forgot pill/condom' etc etc. Maybe we should just get hammered and see if that works. But vent away, we're all here for you.

Kaloki You can hope and I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

Evening all, hope everyone is keeping well

So sorry to hear what you have been through muser hope to see you back on the stats soon

Welcome bellaby nice to have you on board

Hi hermya those do symptoms do sound promising...

Hope your meal was nice last night calyx and that you had a nice day off today

aly323 your job sounds very interesting (and very stressful too i guess) i think the equivalent over here would be legal aid.
Dont feel bad about your feelings towards your friend, it must be very frustrating ? chin up tho, it will be your turn soon

chalky well done one the gym i am
far too lazy for anything like that

pidgin your DH sounds very willing mine was like that the other week. I was soooo tired one night all i wanted to do was fall asleep but DP was ?but, but, we are supposed to be trying? - me ? oh ffs, ok then? ? romantic or what

What do you do kurly? Theatre or something i guess?

Not much news from me, i was in an awful mood this weekend, no idea why but i was swinging between tears and picking stupid arguments with DP for no reason ? symptom possibly?

Aly I would be totally pissed off at that too! I could go on a rant about your friend as well, but wont...strong of you not keep it together though!!

Pidgin - that is hilarious...men are priceless.

My hubby had a bit of a panic over trying this month because his friend has a colicky baby...up all the time, but the mother also doesnt do anything around the house and he comes home and has to do the housework and he gets up with the baby in the night too even though he is the one working..ack...have tried to explain this to hubby. He still wants to try..but i could use a lot less of his friend complaining!! that sound bad doesnt it, like im making him, but we made the decision to try ages ago - dont want to get off track because of man talk!

Calyx - Im PML at your 'slippery wipe' description because thats exactly what I get..lmao... ~washes hands and gives Calyx a high five~

So I had to get off my bus this morning(twice) because i thought i was gonna be sick....took a test when i got back home and it was negative, but maybe too early??? AF has been all over the place lately so I dont know really when she is due to rear her ugly face, but im afraid im getting my hopes up. Im CD30 today, normally about 30-32 but had a strange four month gap in there during a stressful time at the end of last year. Have been a bit dizzy all day, but mostly this morning, eased off after i slept for four hours this morning. Have a horrible taste in the back of my throat and had some cramping which could have been implantation a week or so ago. Haven't been able to get enough sleep for the last week either. BUT...this could all be in my head couldn't it!! ACK..sorry..needed to vent!It could also jut be the flu because my husband had either the flu or food poisoning on Sunday (not from anything I made!) - but i havent been actually sick yet if id caught the flu, just felt like it and have felt better as the day has gone on. ALSO...last week Rennies were my best friend...have had heartburn radiating to my knees (stolen line from movie Juno)

What do you guys think? ~pops a Rennies~

fudgecat, I'm a secondary school music teacher trying to practice what I preach by doing am-dram stuff, playing in orchestras, singing in choirs etc. And it's a good distraction from wanting to get pg...

hermya, I haven't had a withdrawal bleed or anything (it was micronor) which is really starting to frustrate me. Was only on that pill since May (had been on microgynon before that but started to get frequent migraines)...

Anyway, I think that I'm done with tonight's planning and marking so I'm off to bed.

Lots of hugs and babydust to everyone!

Evening all,

Homebound I'm properly symptom spotting with you here and getting quite excited. The signs look propitious. Is the horrible taste in your mouth metalic?

Hermya am also getting optimistic about your symptoms. Lots of signs there that could justify an early test!

kurlyvoice your caffine intake sounds reasonable - within reccomended guidelines. I don't think you need to worry too much about cutting caffine out entirely at this juncture.

pidgin and fudgecat your accounts of BDing to order made me chuckle. Romance is really out of the window when you are TTC!

We ought to be getting on with semi regular BDing now (DH has been warned that he needs to be ready for lots of action this coming weekend!) but DH has been working all weekend and done more overtime today and is knackered. I think we are going to have to try and slot in some tactical BDing when he is up to it and abandon the regualrly throughout the month approach so beloved of health professionals. Fortunately I am temping again, so should be able to pinpoint ovulation and make sure DH is awake and ready for action onn the appropriate days. Who'd have thought shagging would be such hard work...
