Aw thanku Babylove2, I hope everything is ok this time, my dd, nearly 9, is from a previous relationship, and Jack is to my dp of 7 and a half years, to whom I have had 3 mc's too, so I do worry, I don't think I could go through another mc again, I defo couldn't have another dc with what Jack has, if results came bk tht the baby had something like that I don't think I could do it, not for my sake, but for the baby's sake, I couldn't watch another dc go through what Jack does...

Hey I know, I don't half feel stupid doing the old "bum in the air" routine!! But I did it with Jack, although did take 7 mnths to conceive him...but the old bum in the air being a size 18 is NOT pretty,

Hi ladies can I join too?
TTC number 2. Been trying about 8 months now, but no luck so far. My cycle has always been irregular. Breastfeeding DS seemed to regulate it a bit, but now I've stopped my cycle is all over the damn place a again. Due AF any time now - Been over a month since last one but really don't feel like I'm pregnant. Made that mistake the last couple of months.

QueenofDreams · 22/04/2010 14:45

Should add I'm 28 and DS is 19 months old

caija · 22/04/2010 14:53

Course u can QOD!!! Welcome!!! Aw..I ALWAYS make the mistake tht I am pregnant, imagine if u were tho?! Hw fantastic!!

My AF is also all over the place usually, but last couple months they have bn on time-ish!! Hehe xx

hehe caija I'm not getting my hopes up as the last three months my cycle has run to 40+ days That's why I'm not counting or anything because you just can't tell WHERE in the middle of all that I'm ovulating. If AF doesn't arrive in the next week or two I might POAS though.

babylove2 · 22/04/2010 17:45

Welcome QOD, POAS, POAS :-) i'm an addict!!

How exciting. This is going to be a lucky thread

caija i totally agree, i take my hat off to anyone that has the strenth to look after a child with any sort of dissabilty, a child is hard enough, and i cant imagine the heartbreak having to watch a child go through it.

This is going to be my first month trying, i dont count last month as i had a early MC (but fell pregnant first time) so starting fresh.
My period ends sunday so after then anytime, i'm usually a 27-28 cycle but because of the mc this month i was 5 days late, dont have a clue where i am with ovulation now so hope we can just "do the dead" every day .. easier said than done

Also didnt mention i am 27 and this will hopefully be baby no3

bossyboop · 22/04/2010 19:10

Can I be really dim here and ask what POAS is?!

QueenofDreams · 22/04/2010 19:19

POAS = Pee On A Stick

bossyboop · 22/04/2010 19:27

oh thanks for that, so many threads will make much more sense now!

caija · 22/04/2010 19:33

Hey BL2, yes it is soo hard dealing with a disabled son/daughter, the pain u go thru watching them not being able to do what other kids their age can do.

Jack starts Nursery in August and I am DREADING it

He is however the happiest little man ever and now doing well since being started on a new med, he is laughing again, sitting up by himself again, and saying "Mum" , and the best thing is his seizures have stopped for approx 5 weeks..when we were told that we would prob NEVER get control of hs seizures

So I am just hoping tht things go ok this time

Well, have just waved DH off on a stag do in Spain for the weekend - woohoo

BUT if any volcano decides to kick off again or anything else that stops him getting home by Tuesday there will be hell to pay!!!

caija · 22/04/2010 22:23

Ifatfirst, I am soo with u there!!! , we have decided to do the deed every 2 days, if thts possible with 2 kids , will be tough going, but surely one of those days I will fall, HOPEFULLY

bossyboop · 23/04/2010 09:44

Weve gone for the every other day approach and managed a whopping 6 times since af, have noticed a pattern around ovulation so think we have hit the right time just a case of seeing if it works, fingers crossed!

QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 11:30

caija I can't imagine how hard it is to have a disabled child. My older brother had severe down's syndrome along with all the health probs and complications that go along with it. (He died before I was born though) when I had a miscarriage my dad was very upset at first, but then said 'usually if you miscarry it's because there's something wrong with the baby, and I wouldn't want you to go through that'

Glad you ladies get to do every other day! doesn't happen that much here what with DP's long hours and long commute

caija · 23/04/2010 13:47

Hi QOD, it is very hard, I am having such a hard time recently, Jack has just turned 3, so no longer "a baby" if you know what I mean? So, it is obv he is not doing what other kids are doing, whereas when he was a baby he was just like all the other babies....I just find it extremely hard to deal wth that he will most probably be like a baby forever, when my dd is gonna grow up, leave home etc... I just feel for my lil man soo much..xx

Argh just POAS
Have 3/4 of a cross in the result window but no little line in the control window. So I'm going to have to retest. Argh. was fully expecting a bfn, now this has me wondering.

caija · 23/04/2010 20:32

OH MY GOD QOD!!! HAVE U RETESTED? XXX

OP posts:
QueenofDreams · 23/04/2010 20:34

Can't yet - haven't got another test. Will be popping out to buy one as soon as DP gets home. lady on my pn thread is convincing me that this is a bfp. - the blank part of the cross corresponds to the control line that isn't there, so it looks llike the inking didn't work - in which case bfp.
Not going to get excited till I've retested and got a concret + or - though

caija · 23/04/2010 21:12

Aw everything crossed here for u!! Aw my god, ths could be the first BFP on our thread!!!xx
