Pumpkin Patch

[Jefner]

Hi Ladies!

Do you plan on finally getting that in October? If so, come and join us here in the Pumkin Patch! I know there are quite a few of us from the late Sept./early October testers thread who are on CD 1 today, so I thought it would be nice to start a team for us so we can go through this coming cycle and get our s together.

Since I started the team, I'll introduce myself. I'm Jenny and DH and I are currently ttc # 2. I'm on CD 1 and this will be our third cycle of actively trying, but we haven't been preventing since April. Our DD Alex will be 2 on October 24. It took 8 cycles to get pg with Alex; it turned out that DH had a small infection from an old surgery that was affecting his swimmers' motility. The doc put him on antibiotics and I got pg before he even finished the bottle! We're hoping it doesn't take that long this time, but since it's been six months of bd'ing around O time, DH put a call in to the doc today. Who knows, maybe he has scar tissue from that old surgery that's causing recurrent infection. Either way, worth a look! Good things tend to happen for us in October (DH's b-day, DD's b-day) and February (let's hope I don't have to wait that long!), so I have a good feeling about this month!

So come and join our team! I can't wait to get to know everyone!

and to all!!

I would love to join! I am on CD20, and was told to do a HPT on Oct 4.

I love it...Pumpkin Patch!

I am also on CD1. This will be second month TTC for our first. My mother and brother were both born in October, I was born in November and my lovley husband was born in December! So I'm crossing my fingers to get pregnant by the end of the year. I would really like to give it as a Christmas present to hubby....or to myself. LOL

I think I may have a fighting chance as I am turning 24 and DH will be 27....still young and spry!

Aww Yay Jenny....Team Pumpkin Patch

My name is Lisa and DH and I are ttc our second also. Our DS, Callum, is fast approaching his 5th birthday~where is time going?! It only seems like yesterday that he arrived 10wks early! Thankfully he was fine and just needed help with feeding.
Its a been a bit of a rollercoaster ride so far but hoping it just keeps going up from now on. We started ttc in October 08 and have had 2 s since then....unfortunately they've not been sticky..... Fingers crossed it'll be 3rd time lucky with a super sticky cycle #13.

Hope everything turns out to be ok with your DH Jenny Look forward to chatting later

and to all that enter the Pumpkin Patch

Heya girls!

I'm Becky, I live in a big town in Suffolk but am hoping to move to the country before having baby. I've been with my hubby for 11 years. I'm 29 and he's 41, so don't know if that's gonna knock our chances of conceiving a bit, but he's quite healthy so I hope not - his sperm swim very well (we've had a look under the microscope lol).

This is our second month of trying, neither of us have any kids already. I was on BC for about 10 years, but we've been using condoms for the last 2. My cycles have always been regular though as I was on the mini-pill.

I always knew I wanted kids, but it never felt like the right time until very recently. Our work/home life hasn't changed for years, but mentally we're now ready and I'm very broody lol.

I hope to be testing around the 22nd of October. Would really like to succeed this month as not looking forward to the thought of carrying through the summer lol. Saw my best friend do it this year and it didn't look like much fun.

[WelshRose]

Aww Loobi....where's the PMA lovely?!......I'm sending a truck load with this msg hun Really hope you get that

Bexx...
That's fab that you've seen the lil swim well and I'm sure DH's age isn't going to hinder things at all.....There's men in their 90s still fathering children....he's got a long time to go yet, bless him.

Appa and Harmonygirl72....wishing you lots of and to get to know you both better in the coming cycle

Hey Jenny....is it morning with you yet?

 

[Jefner]

Good morning, Ladies!

Looks like we've got a good start here in the Pumkin Patch! Welcome everyone!

@ Laura ~ ss for your loss! I can't even imagine. FX'd for you hun!!

@ Becky ~ My DH is a bit older than I am too, he's 37 (or will be in Oct) and I'm 28. I think if it weren't for that infection we would have gotten pg sooner, so if your DH is healthy, then hopefully the age diff won't matter!

@ Lisa ~ cycle # 13 will be lucky for you, I can feel it! As will cycle # 3 for me! Three has always been my favorite number because I was born on 3/3..so it's got to be lucky, right?!

@ Appa17 ~ Welcome, cycle buddy! You, me, welshrose, and bexx are all on the same CD! As much as it sucks to be starting over for anther cycle, at least we can go through it together!

@ harmonygirl72 ~ Welcome! FX'd that you get that BFP!!

Anyone have any big plans for the weekend? I think DH's planning on working outside (apparently our shed needs to be painted before winter ) and I think I'm going to send Alex out there with him. She's been cooped up inside all week because it's been raining off and on, but today I think I'll just throw her rainboots on her and let her go! Maybe that way then I can get something done around the house. We're having some friends over for football tomorrow, so I should clean up a bit, esp. since the kitchen's still a mess from the gingerbread cookies we made yesterday.

Aww wow Hun....you were born on the 3/3, we got married on the 3/3 and DH was born on 13/6.....3's go into everything!

We're not upto much at the mo, going to go to a nice big park later with Callum and Poppy (furbaby), collect some conkers and autumnal leaves and then go play on the swings whilst trying to keep Poppy away from the swans
Hope your cookies turned out well

Hey ladies! As you probably noticed, there's a fab little Team Pumpkin Patch bar in my siggy thanks to Lisa (Welshrose), so go ahead and put it in your siggy too! Let everyone know your a member of our team here! And be sure to thank Lisa, as it couldn't be more perfect!

Thanks Lisa!!!!!!!!!!

That's so cool that 3/3 is your anniversary! It really is a fab day! Okay, well maybe fab is a bit of an overstatement, as here the weather is usually beyond crappy, but I still think it's cool. I don't know about you, but I usually O around CD 13, so there's another one!

The park sounds fun! We haven't been there in a while, so I should probably take Alex a few more times before it gets too cold. And the cookies turned out good, they were just a lot of work since I had to roll them out and cut them into shapes (I used my new autumn cookie cutters, so they're all leaves and acorns). Now I know why I usually stick to drop cookies!

Feel free to add it to your siggys....Or more importantly anyone out there with more IT creativity feel free to design a better one...it is a first attempt and could probably be much improved!

Banner looks good to me, gonna go add it to my siggy now.

My planning for pregnancy book says that the quality of men's sperm decreases as they get older, particularly when they get past 45. I'd never really thought about it before because, as you say, they can father children at any age. Just looks like it might take longer than usual as time goes by.

Still, hubby's sperm sure moved well and I didn't see any with double-tails or anything lol. For anyone that's interested in having a look themselves, we used a cheap microscope from Toys R Us (make sure it magnifies to 900x or you won't see them).
