Hey all,

I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to stop by to say that DH and I have decided to start TTC again. We have been having a break because I didn't want to be too pregnant to go to SIL's wedding abroad in May/June. But I've worked out that I'm due to ovulate on Christmas Day, so we thought that would be the perfect time to start trying again!! We were trying for 5 cycles before our break.

I've decided to take a much more relaxed view of TTC this time, just trying to relax and enjoy it. I find that I get a bit too crazy with opks, temping, charting etc. I've come to know my fertile time by checking my CM and feeling ovulation pain - so just do lots of bding.

However, I have had my Day 21 Progesterone checked on my last two cycles and the results have been 23 and 25 which apparently shows that I may not be ovulating properly. This could just be due to getting the timing wrong of the test, or it may mean that I have a few problems. My periods are generally pretty regular though, ranging from a 28-36 day cycle, but mostly a 29/30 day cycle. So I'm having it checked again this cycle and if it is still low then I guess they may do some further tests. We'll see.

So thats a bit about me to catch up - sending lots of baby dust to all my fellow ttcers and lots of sticky beans to the pregnant ladies

Helllo all..
Well i was in a position where i goot told it would be so hard for me to concieve becoz of my size. I weighted 18st and was about 5ft 9in. I had been trying to concieve for 6 months before one day i realised i hadnt started my cycle?? I thought id just been late but my best mate told me to go check.. So i did. I did a pregnancy test and it turnt out i was 5 weeks.. That was in June.. Now im coming up 6 Months and my pregnancy so far has been okay. i mean, i get restless alot becoz im so big, and on my 22 week scan i got told that my baby had something wrong with his kidneys. But after a few tests it cam back the other day that he was fine.. And yes, its a little boy Gonna call him Harry-Jimma.. But i have had an okay pregnancy, all i would advise is eat healthy. i didnt for the first 22 weeks but iv been told to and now i feel better..
i honestly thought i wouldnt be able to concieve.. i lost half a stone before i fell pregnant. so thats a good idea... wish u all well xx

 

[StarlitHome]

Ovulating tomorrow, according to charts!

 

[EmmyReece]

Good luck

I've been a bit naughty today

I spent £10 on some newborn and 0-3 month sleepsuits off ebay, I know I'm not pregnant yet, but I completely fell in love with them

Hey ladies!

It is so weird, after being so crazy last month about TTC and the whole 2ww thing, this month I have been so relaxed. I just now realized that I should Ov tomorrow! Lol! We BD last night and tonight, but just because we felt like it, not because I had us on a schedule. I honestly thought I had another week to go! Lol! I think we got enough in, I think we only skipped 4 days BDing this cycle, but they werent in my fertile window anyway. I have a ton of tests left over from last month, but I really dont feel the urge to take them at all. I dont know if it is the whole Christmas mushiness or what, but I am so happy with my life and my family right now. I told DH tonight that I will be beyond happy if it happens this month, but if it doesnt, I am content with it happening in its own time. So for now I am going to just enjoy and revile in what I have and continue to enjoy making love to my husband and if a new addition comes of that we will welcome it with open arms!

Lol, now after saying all of that, watch me turn into a raving, hormonal POASA next week! Hahaha~

 

[Vrainoire]

Hey ladies I know its been a while for me but i'm still hanging around
EmmyReece- I know what you mean before my AF went AWOL I bought lots of newborn clothes..I couldn't help myself lol

 

[LaraJJ]

Emmy - I know how tempting it is, I was buying a gift for my niece the other day and ended up in the newborn section - resisted the urge to buy something tho ;-)

Brandy - thats great that you're feeling more relaxed about ttc. I went pretty crazy the first couple of cycles and it just did me no good - I felt stressed and uptight, which is in itself no good for TTC. Now I feel a lot more relaxed about it, I obviously still get my hopes up a bit and am disappointed when AF arrives - but I feel much more able to deal with it now.

Starlit - great the you're ov'ing, have fun catching that eggy

Cravingababie - thanks so much for sharing your story, it gives us big girls more hope, lol

AFM - snowed in at the moment, its all very Christmassy I'm due to ov on Christmas Day, but we're staying with my parents so not sure how much bding we'll be able to do!! Don't know why but just got a feeling that its not gonna happen until into the New Year for us - hope I'm wrong!

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm mega excited, I've got some majorly cute stuff, and it's all stuff that I've spotted in the shops and really wanted

I think after the zebra set, and maybe a manchester utd babygrow I won't go for anything else. That should be enough to put in a pma box and get out when I'm feeling a bit low

 

[4magpies]

I should be ov'ing today/tomorrow. DTD last night. Gonna DTD tonight.

Not that there is much point with my dodgy insides.

I had to cancel my docs appointment this morning couldnt go cause of the snow, so going next wed and hopefully get refered straight away. If I have a normal cycle can get my CD3 bloods done on the 5th Jan, and my 21's on 24th. I am away with work on the 6th and 7th of Jan so really need a 28 day cycle or less. Argh.

xx

 

[StarlitHome]

So I should be Oving today and I've had EWCM yesterday and the day before - we DTD last night and will hopefully again tonight so fingers tightly crossed!!
Last night, after, I did the pillow-under-hips, legs-up-against-the-wall thing for about 20 minutes or so.
for me and everyone else!

 

[EmmyReece]

good luck

I'm feeling a bit crampy, thinking it might be left over from af as I shouldn't be getting ov pains just yet should I? I'm only on cd 6 today lol

 

[sma1588]

still no af for me but still have cramps where i woke up the last few nights because of them.cant sleep for crap now and it sucks ....well i guess no af is a good thing with the clomid if i for sure O'd this month

 

[StarlitHome]

So I think I ov'd sometime in the last two days - may have been today but I'm not positive, could have been yesterday or on Sunday night.
We DTD on Saturday night and last night, plus last night I stayed on my back with my legs up for 20 minutes or so.
Think that was enough to catch the egg? dH is too tired tonight for but we'll DTD tomorrow...



I'm really trying to not overthink this but... Now I'm kind of worried I guess...

 

[MommyV]

Don't worry Starlit. It only takes one time right around o to get pregnant. Hopefully you've caught it this cycle. Dh and I tend to get to tired to bd when we get to 3 or 4th day in a row this babymaking is hard work.

 

[EmmyReece]

My fella's getting tired and we've only dtd twice so far this cycle I dread to think what he'll be like at the end of the cycle

 

[MommyV]

Jeez usually it's me getting tired my dh doesn't seem to get tired of bding until we've done it quite a bit. I keep going though because I want my little one.

 

[LittleSpy]

My dh gets tired of pretty quickly, too. 2-3 days in a row & he's done. We dtd 3 days in a row right when I thought I may ovulate & then he was done for a couple of days. I managed to get it out of him once more after that & he had definitely had enough. I was irritated because I thought we had missed the most fertile time. But then I got a positive opk 3 days later and by then he was ready & willing to go at it a couple more times & that did the trick. If I had gotten the +opk even a day earlier, I don't think I would've gotten a bfp that cycle.

I think the little one is having a growth spurt right now. Its seems I'm getting lots of stretching aches and twinges today. And my pants are seriously getting tight now.

 

[EmmyReece]

Awww that's brilliant to hear

I can't wait for that to happen with me, we're really going for it this cycle, dtd every other day all the way through (just in case my cycle decides to mess me about), we've got a tube of conceive plus and I'm on soy isoflavones again this cycle

 

[StarlitHome]

My dH likes every-other-night - more than that is too much.
Oh well, I'm pretty sure we're covered since the EWCM is now gone and we DTD twice while it was around.
