Hi ladies Thanks for your kind words

Well about my journey!
I am 26 and my husband is 33 and in August 2010 I found out that I was pregnant, we were NTNP really and I was quite shocked initially. A few weeks later I miscarried and after a bit of talking we decided to try properly. After a few months I joined this site and met some lovely ladies who helped me figure out charts ovulation etc. I took my temperature through fertility friend each day, tried ovulation tests but didnt get on with them, a clear blue fertility monitor and preseed.

In May 2011 me and my husband took a weeks break to Majorca. 1 week after getting back the was due and I bled on the exact day but had a really light period. 5 days later I had a lot of pain with my breasts and decided to test to find out I was pregnant!!

I have learnt a lot about TTC since being on this thread and hope I can help you ladies as well. Lea is an absolute star and a great friend and I am sure she will help you as much as she has helped me

[sg0720]

thanks for sharing that. i am hoping to get a nice new years gift of a BFP that would start the year off great. and i would love to share my story and hear other women and their stories

personally people telling their stories helps me out by understanding a little more about what my body is doing since i can rely on mymonthlycycle.com and the app on my phone anymore =] they were both off about when i was supposed to ovulate

 

[Pinky12]

Sg0720- I think fertility friend is one of the best ones to use and I think you can get an app for it as I had one on my HTC for temping, cm checking etc. I only used it for temps but I know people who did opks, cm checking etc on it. It seems to be quite accurate to me and is only usually out by a day or two. If you temp for a few cycles you will be able to figure out roughly when you ovulate.

You should all put up tickers on your signature so we can see where you are in your cycles x

 

[sg0720]

would fertility friend be good if i only use ovulation tests and check my CM..because i dont temp or anything. and i would put up my ticker but i dont think it will be very accurate...maybe i will try to make an account on fertilityfriend.com and put in my period and stuff and see what that tells me..because it says my average cycle is 41 but my last 2 cycles have been 33days so which would i put.

Hi, everyone. I'm Twila. I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl in 2011. And now my husband of 7 years and I have been ttc baby #2. We are on our 4th cycle. We had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. I tested + at 12 dpo. Then AF came 2 days late and stayed 6 days. (3 days longer than ever.) So, I take from this that we can get pregnant and I'm hoping we have a 2012 or 2013 baby! Baby dust to you all! May we all be blessed with a miracle to treasure all the days of our lives.

Hi all... I am 28 years old and TTC my 5th baby... Before you think... WHAT? 5 kids! I only have 2. I lost two little boys mid-pregnancy before having 2 little girls. I thought we were done after having our second little girl, but last year my husband told me he would like to have another baby (I think in hopes we will have a little boy)... And I had always wanted 3 kids, so I was game... The only problem... I haven't been able to get pregnant! So after 15 months of TTC I am on clomid and hoping it works for us. Good luck to everyone else.

CherryD,
I lost my twin boys at 16 weeks, then went on to have 2 girls, and now DH and I are trying for our 3rd child too! I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but isn't it funny we had a similar situation? We have been trying since May and my Dr. won't help us with fertility treatments until we have been unsuccessful for a full year

Hi Everyone!
So where is everyone in their cycles? I have been experiencing delayed Ovulation, so I'm on CD 50 and 7dpo with fingers crossed! I'm having cramping and abdominal pressure, and my breasts have drastically grown...they aren't sore, but I am now popping out of my bras.

Baby Dust to everyone!

I am sorry for your loss as well. It is a hard thing to go through! If we would have lost our 1st little girl we would not have tried again. It is funny we have a similar situation! My OB was really laid back about helping me... but I think because i had my IUD taken out 15 months ago and wasn't pregnant... They also found out last month I have PCOS now (she believe my iud caused it, b/c I never had it before). I just came off clomid 6 days ago and should be ovulating any time now... hopefully! I am really worried its not going to work, but I am trying to stay positive! I only have 2 more months of TTC before we have to call it quits (as my OB will only let me take meds to help for 3 months due to my hormone levels & cancer risk). Oh and I never had this before but my breast are huge compared to normal (like you they are popping out of my bra, to the point of me telling my husband I need all new bras)... maybe its a sign I am getting ready to ovulate (again I never had this before, so I am not sure if that is a sign or not)???

First of all i would like to say a massive hello to you all... :wave:

I was not expecting to see so many lovely ladies here in 24 hours...

I love BnB its an amazing place for ttc! You will find some really lovely ladies on here and if you are as lucky as me a few friends for life... Emma & Wendy

TTC is a hard journey and some may find there OH useless lol only us ladies know the long for a baby, the ache you feel inside, the dissapointment you feel when the ugly shows her face month after month, the questions you ask yourself every month ( is there something wrong with me). The endless nagative tests, the nag to stop testing so much. The cycle is long and painful, some friends cannot understand or be there as much as you would like them to be, or may not even know you are ttc. Having somewhere to go and talk about your feelins, rant, scream and compare notes is second to none. You will find all that here!

I have been through every single possible emotion of ttc and not getting 1 sinlge positive in over 8 years.. yes i feel that pain but ya know what i stay positive and believe me, if i can anyone can! I was told i have PCOS in Feb 2011 and tried and tried and tried, I made it all the way to the FS and gave up. I couldnt cope with ttc anymore. I put my time and effort into work and studying and my little boy now 11 and OH. Things are much better now and i feel ready to get back with it all..

We are all stronger the we give ourself credit for. PMA positve-mental-attitude is what you need ladies, and when you dont have it what happens.......
Negativity breeds negativity...
Think positive, be positive pee positive ...​

Hi all. hope you all don't mind another one joining in.

I'm 27 (28 next month, never intended to have babies until I met my OH and then it just 'felt right'. I've been with him for 5.5 years and we've been TTC our one and probably only for a year now and last month had our first appointment with a fertility specialist at an Asssited conception unit.
We're getting married May next year so hoping 2012 will be one special, perfect year for us
Due to having Cystic Fibrosis it wasn't as simple as just deciding to start TTC and I had to check with my CF team that they were happy enough with how my health is doing for us to go ahead and luckily they were, I was warned that CF can cause fertility problems (which is now looking likely to be happening with us ) Thankfully OH doesn't carry the CF gene so I can't pass it on to our child.

Sending you all lots of and hoping 2012 brings us all the special x

I had my IUD removed in May...I wonder if I have PCOS. I need to research what it is. I had the Paraguard. Which one did you have?
