thanks nessie01. i have stopped reading about it on the net now coz it was depressing me too much. You just cant help but worry that it might not happen ... or how long it will take, when you are slightly older and i regret so much that i didnt try when i was alot younger (but you cant think what if i guess)

we have both had tests done and everything has come back fine ... so that is a good thing.

all the best to you. good luck !

Hello all,

Hi to all newbies on here, 2ndtime around, Future Mommy and Fizz, hope you get your bfp's soon!

Fizz,
It is not easy to relax and go with the flow when you are trying to get pregnant but if you can try to it will help!
You can go with gentle nudge and things that help conception, like knowing when you ov.
Don't look on the internet, it is full of horror stories and its only more things to stress you out, theres a few baby making years left in us yet!

FutureMommy,
Sounds like everything is right for you, just a matter of when now!

2ndtimeround,
Again just a matter of time!

Well cd 11 for me, no usual physical signs of ov yet, just need to keep bd'ing make sure i am ready for it!

:wave: to everyone,

Quail any more news?


Bye for now

Fine thanks Quail, just bored already and pre occupied with getting a bfp even though I am trying not to be! We are away on holiday soon so that will keep me busy, I am due on a day after we get back so that should keep me away from poas's til i get back! (I say that and know i will be itching to test)

My hubby is funny, he is trying to get as much bd in this week so we don't have to be trying while we are away, bless they just don't get this do they, oh well I am enjoying trying so may keep it to myself I can only get pregnant a few days in the month!! (I have said when i am fertile but i think men just don't listen!!)

Take care and fingers still crossed for you,
How long have you been trying?

[quail]

[quail]

[nessie01]

oh bummer quial!!!!!!!!!! xxxx

i got my first conception chance of FF as high!! lol i manage to get good but this is my first high!!! go spermies go go go!!!!

 

[moonmama]

sorry Quail - thats awfull- but are you sure its not implantation spotting? have your temps plumeted too?

I'm spotting and my temps have taken a nose dive so I'm not far behind you. I dont know how old your children are- but I think I prefered it years ago when I had my first children and you couldnt test untill AF was late, at least you never had this disappointment then did you?

Take it easy xxx



Hi to all new girls!

 

[quail]

i agree moonmama i think its better waiting until your late but its too tempting now isnt it,with these early tests ,i think its witch as its bright red but at least we will be on the same cycle next month ,how long have you been trying for? i never had to try with my others i dont like all this trying its too hard,ive never had implantation spotting before so i dont think i would get it now would you?.xx

quail, been trying for a year, but been pregnant twice since then but lost both pregnancies around 12 weeks. The M/Cs are a new experience too- I never had them with my last batch of babies! (sorry!) they have attributed them to my age! So I'm scared about m/c too IF I get preg again. I'm not enjoying this trying at all! Its so stressful, I think I really took my fertility for granted in the past!

Hi All,

Moonmamma and Quail,

I am not testing til i am at least due on, as the chemical pregnancy thing is too dissapointing and i am sure i have had it in the past just been late and not tested then had a really bad af.
I have a friend who is 38 and after 2 had a real struggle to conceive, and had a few false poss, and complications than needed her to see a specialist who has just said 'age'
I had a mc with my very first (I was 20) and then carried on to have the others.
My youngest daughter is my first with my hubby and I was told it is like having your first because it is your first with that genetic make up, and although my pregnancy was pretty much the same, if not sicker than the others, my others were all overdue, but my waters broke a day b4 due date with her.

Moonmamma,
That is awful mc at 12 weeks just when you are thinking you are in the clear, It is a really stressful 9 months, i worry from start to finish and that worry just gets worse to the end of the 9 months!
Hope its all ok for you this time,

Quail,
I can see from the ages of your children that you have not had a problem conceiving, I never have either, I know very little about charting or any of that i have been lucky enough that its just happened.
I have had implantation bleed in the past but it is just a tiny amount.

Well i am pretty sure i am ov'ing today, ewcm would suggest. So as we bd last night and have been bd'ing every few nights til then i think that is enough and there should be something waiting to catch the egg! Then the horrible waiting time starts!! (may just try and get a few more bd in over weekend just to make sure!!!)

Time to go, spuds to peel for tea!

Take care all, hope everyone ok

Thanks thinkpink I just hope there is a next time- I think AF is going to get me tomorrow- I've got all the signs so it'll be back to square again! . I totally agree about the early testing- its really shocked me just from 'lurking' on bnb threads how many girls get + followed very shortly by -. It must be so soul destroying!

ps has any one got any good news?!

Hi ladies, im new to this site,i am 31 partner 35 i am a mum of 3, i have been with my partner 9yrs and we want to try for baby we are starting this mth, i caught easy with my last 3, but different partner this time,he cant have kids so going to ai, so i am now learning about charting bbt etc, gosh was so naive this is all new to me! So i am hoping that i am ovulating on July 3rd so ai then and fingers crossed,Cervix changes throughout mth too!!!we want to try for boy, not desperatly but would like to sway the odds a little if we can, so i heard you have to ia on the day of ovulating for boy, anyone tried and it worked or is it just plain codswallop!?

 

[moonmama]

hi babyonemoretime!

No idea if it works or not- but good luck!

xxx

Nessie that sounds a bit odd- glad your getting it checked out anyway. Mid cycle spotting is usually hormonal isnt it? I dont know anything about agnus castus i'm afraid xxx

I'm still waiting for AF- she's dragging her heels- She's almost here but not quite! just on about 4th day of spotting and Just wish she'd bloody hurry up! Anyone got any news? xxx

 

[babythinkpink]

Hi All,

Hi moommamma, no exiting news here, just waiting really, in 2ww now!

Welcome baby1moretime, Yes I hear it is possible to encourage certain sex babies, and I have used this method in the past to conceive girls, by bd'ing b4 ov and its worked both times, now it could be coincidence but i had 2 boys first so who knows!!
Good luck with ttc, It must be very different for you, a whole new ball game!!


Time for bed, I am tired!!

Take care all

I have been here for a while but this section is fairly new. I am 37 and my dh is 32. We have been together 9 years. I have 3 children from a previous marriage (dd 20, dd 18, ds 16) and he has none but has raised mine as if they were his own. I had a tubal reversal in April 2007. I have had 3 mc's since then. I am currently on my 4th round of Clomid. I do ovulate on my own, but giving my age, I may need that little boost to help produce some strong ones! I go to my fertility specialist on the 23rd to discuss the option of iui. Good luck ladies and I hope we all get our sticky very soon! to all!
