Chocolate always helps!!!

Starflame - I hope AF doesn't rear her ugly head for you

and your patience of not testing will pay off!

I on the other hand decided (although it's only CD7) that I wanted to test the OPK tests I bought off ebay and of course disappoint myself! DH has still said that he plans on DTD everyday for the next fortnight to ensure we don't miss O. (I think it's just his excuse!!).

Ohh ange I'm on cd1 now as well... Af is 3 days early.. Tmi.. Super light, brown and only enough when I wipe.. Atleast I can now get on with next month.. 20th oct is when we go for tests and 21st nov is when we see the specialist... Seems like such a bloody long wait but I'm hoping it's worth it!
Fingers and toes crossed for the rest of you!!

Hi again ladies!

So I'm done with the bleed (early miscarriage/chemical preg/whatever you want to call it) and on what I figure is CD9. Got carried away last month and even though I did end up with the a BFP, it didnt end well for us.

I promised DP I would keep calm and relaxed about it this cycle and he has banned me from POAS until AF is well and truly LATE this time!

he was so disappointed when we got a BFP and then lost it, so I dont want him to go through that rollercoaster again.

Sooo not really sure if I will actually O this cycle or not, but figured we might as well give it a good try anyway just in case! I worked out I have a long cycle (35 days) so wont O for another week or 2.

What do you ladies do to keep distracted from the OTHER tww?? The one BEFORE you O?? hahaha because that one is driving me

too!

and

for your BFPs!

Mel xx

Starflame, fingers, legs and toes crossed for you.

For everyone else pre O best wishes for this cycle.

Started charting my BBT and will do CM too, not to sure if I will buy an OPK this month who knows what my cycle will be after 20 years on the pill, will plan around the 28 days and see what happens. Already decided if not successful in first six months will seek a specialist since I am long in the tooth (35). Doing my best to stay realistic so as to not get disappointed.

MissMel87 re the other TWW, as I said to my DH I am nesting so its interior decorating and gardening time for me, I think distraction will be my key to success.

So how often do you all post here, and is it ok to say your wishes outloud, do you dare to dream? Me I want a set fraternal twins boy and girl you know a one stop shop just putting it out there to the universe, really I'm not too picky (cough girl) just hope we can conceive and have a child so I can finally be invited to some play dates! Very frustrating when your mum and sisters go to the Mothers Day Classic but you do not rate an invite well cause you are not in the mummy way grrrr.

Anyways great day to all x

Hugs missmel, sorry about your journey.

Chubbybunny wishing you all the vibes for your next cycle!

Everyone else (sorry relatively new here) all the best, looking forward to seeing how everyone's going.

For me it's dpo1 and dh and I had dtd 9times in the last 7 days lol (taking the relaxed approach much haha) very excited. Getting a bit moody but mind you life is a little on the hectic side. With both ds and dd I had NO pregnancy symptoms pretty much the whole time, so I expect that this time too. So will have to wait till I can test hmmm.

Good luck!

Hi All,
This is my first time i have joined a discussion board.
All of your abrifiations like TTC and the such make no sence to me.

After a year and a half of trying and one miscarrage, my husband and i just gave up and did the dead when ever we felt like it.
I started to notice that things were a little different lately. Being rum drinkers on the weekends i had a few on the weekend and noting happened not even feeling a little tipsy, weird for me. Had a bad day at work yesterday and haven't been able to keep my eyes open so i had a few sips of rum. It didn't even taste like Rum.
My husband lied to me this morning when i asked if my tummy looked different, as i just found out from him! it does look different, even the sucker-inner unddies don't do anything and sucking it in just hurts

and i've been feeling like pins and needles around my belly button and my tummy feels tingly, boobs are so sore all over and been dreaming everynight. and i have pains in my lower pelvis and waves of nausea.
Just had lunch with my hubby and he had a meat pie.. told him i had to go as i was to to be sick from the smell of it!
I have done one test two days ago at work when i couldn't even keep my eyes open at work and it came back not pregnant.
I have 1-2 weeks to wait till my next period is due, so i'm thinking it's way to early to be feeling like this if i am...
Did anyone else go through this too much thinking in their heads?
And can you be preg if you don't have all of the sysmptoms?

Hi all, thought I might join in. Hubby & I have been TTC for two cycles. AF is due in 3 days so not long to wait. I must admit I am not feeling lucky this cycle. I have no pregnancy symptoms at all, I'm just incredibly moody. Good luck to everyone going through the TTC journey.

**simonejoel** · 03-10-2011 18:14

Howdy ladies,

Chubby Bunny good luck this month.

DAngel there is a list of abbreviations/acronyms commonly used on parenting sites, just do a search above to find the post. Sorry can't advise you re preg sytmptoms have not been there yet.

Poschgem I'm surprised youre walking

and

Miss Angie

for you too.

Me cd8, planning to DTD later in the week have booked DH in

Day one of starting new medication zyprexa slept 16 hours straight so hope this is not the norm but I want a safer pregnancy, the other meds available are either not safe or I have already tried and they don't work for me so no choice really. I am in headache city now that I'm off the pill worried migraines will start again fingers crossed this too shall pass. So off to the GP Friday then let the games begin might buy an OPK, so far not using the BBT at the same time everyday so the data I am collecting is most likely useless.

Will check in later in the week until then happy days everyone x

**starflame** · 03-10-2011 20:18

CD35 here today.. No AF. DP made me test last night and it was a lovely clear BFN

Thought maybe cos I tested at night time and not with FMU it might be a false negative but Im not holding much hope that we caught the egg this month..On the wait for AF now. Good luck to everyone left to test!
