Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Here's hopng you are a trailblazer for the rest of us!

nicmum2boys · 29/07/2005 22:11

Only just seen this, and wanted to add my heartfelt congratulations! Will be keeping everything crossed for you .

Tabs · 29/07/2005 23:09

Oh Maddyd and Hellkat - what wonderful news for you both. So glad that both of your very different tests produced the results that you wanted.

ChaCha · 30/07/2005 01:17

Hellkat - What's this i hear??? What great news!!!!! When is the big day then? You must go and make an announcement on the Nov thread...the girls will be so chuffed for you! Congratulations chuck!!!!

Hey Diddle & Xena - hope you are both well. Miss you on the Nov board. Fingers crossed for you xx

Tabs · 30/07/2005 12:05

ChaCha - think you've got the wrong end of the stick re Hellkat. I was congratulating her because she had a biopsy on her breast which came back clear. Sorry to shatter your illusions!!

HellKat · 30/07/2005 12:11

Hiya all.
Thanks gals!!
Tabs- Actually there was a sneaky congrats. Dp and I finally decided to get hitched .
How's everyone?
Happy here, finally got washing outside!! Hooray to sunshine .

maddyd · 30/07/2005 15:50

Afternoon Girlies, ive been working all morning and asleep all afternoon. Im shattered as up late. Still got bad belly ache, im not feeling confident at the moment, but hey we will see.

Anyone else tested yet?

Hellkat how long have you and your dp been together? Are you having a big church do or something quiet. I want to get married in Gretna Green. They organise everything for you, all you have to do is turn up

HellKat · 30/07/2005 16:20

Hope it clears up Maddy (could well be tension, understandably). How are you otherwise?
We've been together nearly 3 years unofficially (will be 3 years next month since we met......online lol). Probably do something low key (can't be dealing with frills, expense, pandemonium and me making an ass out of myself in front of stacks of people).
Gretna's always been a good option

maddyd · 30/07/2005 16:22

Very Romantic im such an old softie.

Did you meet in one of the sex chat rooms

HellKat · 30/07/2005 17:03

LMAO!!!
Maddy, I'm appalled, I'm a good girl
Actually met him in an American chatroom. Nope he's not American lol, we all used to chat in those and him and I got chatting. After 6 mths decided to meet (after swapping pics and ringing eachother). I moved from London to Kettering and he moved virtually the same day we first "met" in person (he's from Derby originally). Pretty quick eh? lol.

maddyd · 30/07/2005 18:16

Wow hats a love story and a half. You still havnt found out about his secret cross dressing habits then

HellKat · 30/07/2005 18:22

Not yet but you never know
Off to get this little grump bathed and in bed. Take care Maddy

Tabs · 30/07/2005 18:29

Hi Hellkat - sorry, missed that bit of news - congrats on that too!

strike1 · 30/07/2005 19:12

Evening all. Hellkat I think running off to Vegas sounds like the best option to me. I friend of mine did that and asked everyone to not buy wedding presents but to come with them (or help towards the cost )
Hang in there Maddyd I'm sure it's just worry that is making your stomach feel like that.
I didn't test this morning as dh suggested saving my last early response test till tomorrow. It'll be 4 days before 32 dpo so I hope I get a bfp or af comes soon. I also invested in some cb ditgtals but I don't want to blow them too early.

Hope your all having a fabby weekend.

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 30/07/2005 19:56

Sorry to jump in and feel so glum.

Another BFN today.AF due tomorrow.

Cant understand why not pregnant.Concieved both times before with only one bd each time!Last month established cycle now longer than usual 28 days and used ov kit this time and bd like mad on positive result cd17.

Wondering if something has happened to my fertility since loosing Philippa? I am 38 I know but as I had always concived quickly before did not think I had a problem.....

Feeling v v low

HumphreysCorner · 30/07/2005 22:04

Evening ladies

Hope you are all relaxing.

HellKat-congrats on your decision to get hitched-lots of planning ahead for you then

CHOCOLATEPEANUT-I'm sure it will happen soon-you were lucky last time to fall so soon. Are you using the Ebay strips to test? ((xx))

Have been to my SIL's house for a Bar B Q and she was really upset about the weather but we all had a lovely time so it really didn't matter that it sluiced it down the whole time!

Now AF has gone DH & I are attempting to BD every other day until the next AF cos I still have no idea how you know you are ovulating so am covering all options .

All you Ebay fans-did you hear about the DJ's wife who sold his £25000 sports car for a Buy It Now price of 50p as long as they could collect it before the 'cheating arsehole got home from work!' Made me titter-278000+ people have viewed the item-must be a record.

DH is asleep on the sofa so no BD tonight!

I have to say I have enjoyed watching Craig & Anthony in Big Bro but why is Orlaith still in?????

That's all for now. Migraine finally gone this morning (this one lasted 4 days-git!) but have horrible spot on chin so walking round smelling of TCP.

Lots of love and hugs to all of you.

((((xxxx))))

nicmum2boys · 31/07/2005 00:11

Just logged on quickly before going to bed (was meant to be shutting the 'puter down, but couldn't resist a quick peak at MN).
Chocolatepeanut (((hugs))) don't give up hope yet. With DS1 I tested day AF was due, bfn, 2 days later still nothing, tested again, bfp. You never know. It will happen, be kind to yourself. I know it's so hard when it seems it's not happening despite doing everything right. Thinking of you.

Well my 9 days of spotting has def turned into full on AF today. Kind of glad in a way, as it means I can stop wondering and worrying and get on with next month. Am concerned at such an extended period of unusual bleeding though, thinking of going to see the doctor next week, just incase infection/hormone imbalance/temporary madness/any other reason that might stop me conceiving. Only got til Christmas, don't want to waste any time if I've a problem that can be sorted easily. Oh why oh why did we set a deadline for Christmas??????

maddyd · 31/07/2005 07:01

i think its over before the fat lady even sings. Was up most of night with these cramps and front and back and im spotting. Could hope its implantatin but im sure i had that 4 days ago, i had slight spotting for a day. Its not going to stick is it. God this is so unfair what have i done so bad in my life for this to happen. Im never ever going to get excited or my hopes up again. Maybe im just too old now, my mother warned me that women in our family have problems later on and i hate tp prove her right. Thankfully i havnt told the old witch yet. She almost did a i told you so last time.
Sorry that sounds really bitter doesnt it, but i dont feel like being nice really. Im off back to bed. I had to get up and speak yo you all as its been worrying me all night.

maddyd · 31/07/2005 07:16

And my temp is falling

Debbsy · 31/07/2005 07:28

so sorry maddy d the same as happened to me too this morning ((hugs))

maddyd · 31/07/2005 07:36

I know how you feel then Im sort of resigning myself now that i just cant do anymore. Its too hard more emontionally than physically.

Have you been trying again long Debsy?

Debbsy · 31/07/2005 07:43

we have been trying for 16mths had 2 early mc last one in may ive had 3 faint positives this time and mega stretchy pains for about a week bleeding this morninig, done test negative all other symptoms stopped had a hypesterosalpinogram done on the 14th july bd on the 15th and 16th as ovulating so why oh why didnt it stick i cant do this anymore either, its very hard emotionally and i cant cope with it any longer i really cant im 33 now and i just wish i would have had my baby earlier and not gone for my career first!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 31/07/2005 07:49
