I've got my anti-witch spray!

[peachy905]

I am 13 dpo and got a BFN... still hopeful... but if not let AF arrive already so I can get trying again! Baby dust to all : )

I guess it would be but I haven't told her, she's against having children at a young age (she was a single mum at 22) but oh and I are in a lucky situation that we are able to support a baby and have been together for almost five years. It's sound terrible but now we can't try I'm kinda hoping she doesn't get pregnant yet! I think I need a little break from all of this for a while so hopefully she won't be a constant source of 'I wish that was me.'

Five years is a long time to be together and as long as you are both on the same page and ready for it, I don't see a negative! The negative comes when it's an oops moment and then OH isn't up for it and takes off. A loving stable relationship no matter what the age is what's best for children.

Yes me!! I had three miscarriages before i had Henry, then i started taking pregnacare pre-conception, and i got my sticky bean which became my little miracle Henry I dont know if this was down to the pregnacare but i'm sure it helped, just said to my oh yesterday that i must get them again this time round, once u get pregnant u can change on to pregnacare plus which is what i did, i swear by them and look at it this way, they can't do u any harm can they?? good luck, everyone go get the pregnacare!! lol xx

Nats, WOW! Now that's what I was looking to hear! Can't wait to receive mine in the mail! Now I just wish they sold them in the states so I didn't have to basically import them to have access!

Evening everyone, Doodah - you're definitely sensible enough to be TTC again when the time is right, and you're in a stabel relationship so age is really no barrier.

We had friends round today with their new baby and I was sooooo clucky (I always am but still) and of course on came the inevitable so when are you two going to have one question. Bearing in mind these friends had a honeymoon baby I figured she wasn't really up for me announcing that we'd been trying for ages and would LOVE one! So I came out with the usual non-commital answer. What do you guys say when people quiz you? We've told no-one we're TTC as we don't want the pressure and if we do end up needing IVF I'd rather that we got to make the decision as to whether to go public or not.

 

[linz143]

When we first got married in May, we told our close friends in family that basically I was going off bcp after the wedding and would be ttc immediately. It was met with some resistance from my brother and sister in law and my own mom tried to get me to wait. However, we know we're ready and I'm not getting any younger. It's the right time for us.

However, now that it's taking longer than expected, when people I haven't talked to about it quiz me (especially at work) I say, "Oh no! Not anytime soon! I need some time before we even think about kids!" That way if I don't get pregnant for awhile, no one will know it's taking some time, and if it happens right away, I can just act happily surprised.

Hey girls, just catching up on the thread! I need some help... was due AF Wednesday... it's now Sunday! Last witch visit was on 31 October! POAS on Wed, FMU, used FRER... BFN!! haven't tested since cos it feels like AF is ready to show up any moment!! I cried so much on Wed when I got the BFN I just don't wanna take another test and see BFN again?!? Anyone been here before?!? xx

 

[giraffes]

Hi Lillio,

Unfortunately yes and it's a horrible wait! Are you sure when you ovulated? I tested so much and in the end even had a blood test because I was so late, but eventually AF arrived. There are plenty of people on the internet that don't get their positives until really late though so there's always hope.

Good luck xxx

Sorry to heard : ( Try not to test again and I think that until AF shows up it isnt really over. I know how you feel though. I tested -ve at 13 drpo yesterday and was cranky the whole day. I am going to make it a point of not testing until I am late. This emotional rollercoaster is too much... Good luck hun.

 

[DooDah]

Hey girlies. Sooooooo, err I'm 4dpp (that's days past pill)! Or it would be had I only taken it once. So I'm officially all contraceptived up. Grr.

Hope you're all hanging in there, did you have good weekends? Xxx

 

[peachy905]

Crappy weekend as AF showed up today. At least it is here though so I can prepare for next cycle. I hate the two week wait most. Think I might cheer myself up with a glass of wine and a bubble bath.

 

[giraffes]

Peachy sorry to hear the witch got you.
Doodah - nice to see you, have your hormones settled down?

I had a good weekend thanks, starting to get in the festive spirit! Which is good because it means the next week will fly by and next monday I'm off to see the specialist

Glad to of been some help, it's a shame u cant just pop to the shop and get them but each box last's a month so it's not so bad, i'm getting mine today. keep me posted xx

 

[nats77]

Can anyone on here explain to me about temp's how do u chart? what do u look for? how do u know when ur ovulating? sorry if i'm sounding dumb just thought i could give it a try, any info would be most appreciated xx

 

[wishnhoping]

Hi girls! How was everyone's weekend?

I decorated the house and did some christmas shopping. I know our freinds from across the pond may not understand but my DH and I are in a Fantasy Football league together and we both just made it to the second round of the playoffs and we will be playing each other! haah. Its awesome because regardless of who wins one of us makes it to the championship game and 2nd place wins $400! so thats the least amount we would win at this point..1st place wins $1200!!! woohoo merry christmas to us!

Back to baby making- I am cd5 and the witch is almost gone again. I have ovulated cd18 the last two months so I prob wont start testing with my opks until the 12th probably...I am going to start taking some vitamins (recomendations welcome! id rather buy it in the states) and try to lose some weight. Im really big right now and its prob not helping the whole ttc thing so just gonna try to shed a few lbs see if it helps.

ugh cant believe I have 13 days until O day;....ttc is torture

Hey Nats, if you go to Fertility Friend they give an in depth description, but I'll give you the short version since I've been charting since July.

First off, the temps are only good if you take them at roughly the same time every morning (like within 30 mins or so). Also it needs to be taken directly upon waking (no getting up, going to the bathroom, laying in bed trying to remember your dream, etc). Lastly, you need about 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep for it to be accurate. What you're trying to get is a true resting temperature.

Next, during your period your temp will jump up and down so I don't bother taking it for that part. As soon as it ends, you start again. Your temp will be low, and then anywhere from the day of ovulation to 3 days before, you will probably see a huge temp drop (that's the estrogen surge before ovulation). Either the next day or a couple days later you'll see the temp shoot up and stay high for the duration of the tww. If AF is coming, you will notice your temp dropping either the day she comes or a day before or after.

If you are pregnant, your temp will not drop, or may even go to a third higher level, which is called triphasic.

I like temping because it proves to me that I ovulated and I have advance notice (either day of or the day before) that AF is coming. You should try it! Just make sure you get a Basal Body Thermometer (BBT). It has two decimal places on it, as you need a more sensitive thermometer to do this. Mine was only $10 at the local drug store.

Thanks linz, i'll give it a try x

 

[nats77]

went and got my pregnacare yesterday, i got his and her's conception, last time i just took it, but i'm making the oh take them this time round lol, he was a bit worried, kept saying ' r u giving me horse tranquilizers here or something ' lol.
Is everyone ok? it seem's to of gone a bit quiet on here? i guess ur all gearing up for the tww. PMA girls lets got lots of christmas bfp's!! bring on the baby dust!!!! xx

 

[wishnhoping]

Yea its really quiet

I wont have much to say until I actually O I guess maybe everyone else is waiting too?

Im gonna O around 18th if this cycle is the same as last 2....but not sure what to expect since I was 4 days late this past month

 

[linz143]

I've been ov around CD 12-14, but then this last month it was CD 16, so I'm hoping I'm going back to my old schedule rather than ov later. Last month sucked because I kept expecting to wake up with a temp rise to confirm ov, but each morning I'd wake up to a low temp and think to myself, what the heck? I can't imagine what it'd be like to be one of those women who wait 3 weeks or so and ov at random times each month.

So my MIL had a dream about me. She said that in her dream she saw me having a baby in September or October or 2012. But that means I wouldn't get preg until Jan/Feb if she's right. So fx'd crossed for a Christmas BFP, but apparently it's not happening for me for another couple months (according to my MIL)!

Edit: Oh and she predicted a girl, so I'll at least keep my fingers crossed that she was right about that!

 

[peachy905]

linz, your post made me smile because my own mother told me she had a dream that she was shopping for her grandchild and it was a girl. She asked if I was preggers and sadly I had to say no. Hope this is a good omen that I will become pg soon! Good luck to you!!
