OK, I should probably be putting this in the PMA thread, but for some reason this cycle just feels right! I've been trying to articulate why I have this really strong feeling for the first time. This is what I've been able to come up with:

Testing day is DH birthday=perfect prezzie
Decision to TTC was Christmas 08 and conceiving now =Baby for Christmas 09
Feel that body is starting to regulate--O confirmed last cycle, just need longer LP now

So, if anyone is need of a bit of extra Positive Mental Attitude, let me know--I'm oozing with it right now!

Hi, my testing day is around OH's birthday too (his' th 23rd March) when does your OH have his??

we could be testing the same day!!

Good luck for the 23rd! I just started a new cycle so waiting for the to leave to get to business. OH's birthday is April 12, so think I'll test on the 11th.

Morning all - just found the FF site and thought i'd use that.

Am I being lazy by not tracking temps etc? (I might resort to that if I don't get a BFP in the next 3 months)

Who would have thought there is so much to learn about getting pregnant? Why does it have to be complicated for those of us who plan for a family, and for others they fall pregnant with surprise babies?

That's a question I ask myself regularly........especially when it happens so easily to those who don't deserve it (alcoholics...druggies...abusers....etc etc)

Sometimes I think I must have done something terrible in a former life

 

[aneageraussie]

im not the only person who thinks like that.. i want a baby so bad.. and i knw i can be a good mom.. better then alcoholics and druggies

u know for 5 years me and DH (he is 34) were so cautious so as not to get pregnant.. now i start thinknig did i leave it for too late..
thas the only reason i get down. .all my friends have babies now... and i feel left out..

This is totally me too..DH & I got married and were careful not to start our family too soon before we were settled in our home and work life and what do you get for being cautious and sensible a BFN each month! I really wish I had of started trying a few years back. I want to go to all the uni's and colleges and tell the ladies in their 20's not to get to wrapped up in study and work and remember to have children early.

Hi Tiggercat - if u've just started ttc you could give it a while before u start to temp or try opk's to start pinpointing ur ovulation date. I didn't temp my my first 5 months. Hopefully ur'll fall quick and not need to temp. You may be able to tell when u ovulate from physical signs such as ewcm, pain in ur side etc depending on how tuned in to your body you are. I am not good at reading my bodys signs and really had no idea when I ovulated so tempting helps.

Why some ppl just fall pregnant and others need to plan and try for longer is going to be one of lifes mysterys. Its hard to understand and except at times that some ppl get given a gift of a baby so easily, but as others have said on BnB before all our babies will be wanted and totally loved whenever they arrive esp if they are fashionably late.

 

[tiggercats]

Thank you shalagirl - I'm more tuned into my body than I thought, when reading about signs of ovulation etc I realised that I have noticed them - but in my pre ttc ignorance I hadn't put 2 + 2 together.

We are just going to enjoy trying for a while and try to be chilled out about it. If it doesn't happen soon ish then I'll temp etc. I'm quite realistic that it wont happen straight away and trying to instill this info onto OH

I'm more worried about coping without my massive dose of anti histamines i've been surviving on. I've had to change to an AH that doesn't work for me, but is considered safe. My specialist will kill me when I see her after easter. My Dr wanted me to wait until I'd seen allergy specialist again and had endoscopy, but I told him they haven't figured it out in 10 years and I'm not waiting for them before trying. Maybe pregnancy will cure my allergic reaction to whatever it is (I live in hope)

Hey all!
Still couldn't figure out the signature link (durr!!!), so hope no one minds, but did my own! xx

No St Paddy's Day partying for me and I live in the north of Ireland! Didn't even have the day off work, we never get it! Mind u my DH was off and meant we had a opportunity for BDing which can only be a good thing - so I'll thank St Paddy for that, and before anyone suggests it no I wouldn't name my child Patrick if I happened to conceive this month

Seems like you and ur partner have the right approach to ttc and I do hope u remain chilled out as ttc can take over ur life oh so easily.

I never thought much about medication such as anti histamines effecting ttc. Seems ur getting advice about it anyway and I hope u find a balance between managing ur allergies and feeling confident that its safe to ttc.

 

[tiggercats]

Allergy is driving me crazy now I am desparately trying to to sit here and not cry my eyes out in sheer frustration. It has been unbearable today and I fear it will only get worse

 

[kasey]

Can I join ladies? I am 32 and been ttc for almost a year now, 33 in a few weeks time!!

Great team name!

(I posted in the old thread in the forum first duh...)

Hi to all the newbies,

I am out of the race this month. AF just arrived, 3 days early. I didn't think it was my month this month so am relieved that I can just move on to next month.

I am a bit worried about my chart and that my LP might be too short. I thought that I O'd on CD10. Could someone have a look for me?

Thanks.

Are you sure its AF? Spotting doesn't count. I sometimes get a few days of spotting before CD1 (first day of actual flow). At 7 dpo that could be implantation bleed.
