You're being stupid.

That calendar has nothing more than a 50/50 shot at being right.. just like anyone else who guesses before the bits are evident!

So sorry to hear that complication Kelly, really hope that everything works out and you can TTC.

Sweetpea hope your LO is better soon!

Hugs to all

There is no way I'm going to catch up on all the pages I missed. So I'm sending out blanket and and and .

AFM, my mom came and went... and I'm exhausted!! She's sooo high energy and I'm just not like that. Her "lazy days" wear my butt out!! It was good to visit with her, but she needed to GO!! We need to get to makin'!

AF is still here, but no biggie. We're only technically NTNP anyway... with OPKs, of course.

Think I need to copy Mack's blanket and !

I have no excuse, I read the posts, kept what I thought was a mental note of things I wanted to comment on and came to write then forgot everything! Clearly my brain is mush after a long day at work (just finished now!).

I used to believe that those calendars were quite accurate as I was predicted to be a girl (lol correct), my hubby's was correct and both of our teenage daughters were correct. So, when I got pregnant last year w/Mackenzie it said she would be a boy...I didn't question it at all. When we had our gender scan I didn't believe it when it said girl. The timing wasn't on the cusp or anything like that...so I just don't put much belief into anymore. Although, I did realy like the idea that gender could be determined w/o technology. I'm happy w/my lil princess

Is there not a step by step guide I can be looking at for TTC??! I am a complete novice so in all honesty could do with a dummies guide to the ins and outs (pardon the pun) of TTC.

Today I'm feeling impatient and excited. Excited that we've started our journey, impatient about having to wait for the BFP lol. I've never been the best at waiting.

Hope everyone's okay today I'm not back at work until tomorrow so I've been a complete piggy and have been eating anything and everything lol

I don't know if there is a step by step guide. You can check countdowntopregnancy.com though...they have the most common symptoms according to dpo. Good luck I hope you get your

I tested again last night... UGH. Good news is no AF today, I'm gonna wait and take the other test tomorrow morning. I may need to have my daughter hide the other test from me though cuz I'll probably change my mind this afternoon and decide to take it. I'm symptom spotting like crazy and wish I could just be patient. I'll know one way or the other in 2 days. My cycles are super regular, except last month AF arrived a day early. I hate waiting...*pout*

Hope everyone is having a good day.

The Chinese predictor thing is fun but not foolproof; also it depends on what website you go to. Some base it on the month of conception, others are more specific. It was correct for Kara, and I'm predicted a girl if I conceive this month. No harm in guessing.

Sorry for the bfn, cheercoach; only 2 days! I thought I'd be testing right along with you but it turns out I'm just now beginning my TWW.

Mackmomma, glad your company's gone so you can get down to business.

I admire all of you NTNP girls. I'm much to obsessive for that.

Hi All,

I'm back Married and now officially TTC!!

We caved slightly earlier and ended up NTNP during August (hehe), I downloaded Period Planner onto my iPhone as I had my implant removed in July.

Had my first proper period start 16/08/11 and BD'd every other day during what it suggested would be my most fertile TOM. Would be VERY lucky if we caught this soon but I will still test after TWW.

DH is away now until the end of the month but if my cycle is 28 days long then he arrives home just in time for Ov

Hopefully we'll be back to normal between Oct and Dec and can get a clearer idea of things.

Wish us luck!

I'm sorry for you lo.. hope she gets better soon

My oh had another job interview today and I'm praying that he gets the job. If he gets to know before Sep 10th, we would start ttc this month. So please ladies, keep your fingers crossed!!

I agree about the Chinese prediction calendars, they are fun. I used one that calcutes the mother's lunar age and lunar conception dates. I'll no doubt use it again with my next pregnancy...

Thank you...I feel AF coming on, though I am still symptom spotting like crazy.

Are your cycles usually that long? If you were supposed to test at the same time and you have 2ww left that'd put you at about a 39-41 day cycle? Good luck in the 2WW, hope it flies by and ends with a

 

[mouse_chicky]

My only discernable cycle after giving birth to Kara was 39 days, so yeah they're long, but I thought I had a positive opk CD13, but I didn't. I should have known.

I put this in my journal too so sorry to anyone who stalks and is part of autumn acorns

two months before we started trying - last october - I began eating better, taking yucky vitamins, and I have attempted to excercise regularly. DH and I had gotten to talk about a month ago and I expressed some of my ttc concerns. I had read that if a guy is in a hot tub (I forget what temperature it said), when it is hot enough and long enough to affect their sperm, they are messed up for 7 weeks . I had previously mentiond to DH about wearing boxers more and cutting back on his biking and stuff and he was not receptive, it was pretty upsetting, but I wasn't gonna force him. We finally got a chance to talk on the phone today cloud9: for just hearing his voice) but he told me that since I brought up the hot tub thing that he has stopped taking baths to relax in the evening, plus he has started wearing boxers full time, though he can't control that he needs to wear compression shorts about 2 hours a day for his workouts, but he said he hasn't been staying in them excessively, he's sure to change out of them right after his workout! total
I'm so happy that he's changing things a little bit too because it makes me feel better that we're putting that little extra effort in!

 

[CheerCoach]

Ahh, Pixie...I am very happy for you.

 

[KellyC75]

KellyC I love your snoopy picture I sent in to a letter to my OH when he was in Afghanistan with that on it


Xxx

Ahh, thankyou...Its for my Dad ....I wanted to remove the tears

Kelly, that's very sweet How's the pregnacy coming along?

Thankyou

The pregnancy is coming along well, thankyou for asking, I will be 15 weeks tommorow! Having a gender scan next weekend

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope all you Ladies are Ok ~ Sorry I havent had time to keep up these past couple of days

 

[pixie23]

The gender scan! How exciting! I can't wait to hear your results!

 

[CheerCoach]

Great to hear things are good Have you picked names or waiting for after the scan? Looking forward to hearing the gender news

I tested again this morning and got yet another bfn. I feel hopeless this morning. AF is due tomorrow and I can feel her about to make herself present. I really hope I'm just being over sensitive because I'm actually pregnant. Guess my biggest worry is that it's going to take us over a year to conceive and I'll cry every month in between

 

[Sw33tp3a]

aw pixie thats great he is giving a little. guys are stubern and think we are just making things up at times but i think they listen and think about it and eventually will change simple things after a will of thinking. it just great.


my daughter gets her arm looked at tomorrow and the bone specialist. we will find out if she will need a cast or not. so very interesting week ahead. and as for ttcing im due to Ovulate any day now..... so time for the bding.

how is everyone. any bfps. or witches to report...

 

[babynewbie]

pixie thats great that he's doing his bit aswell

kelly how exciting! cant wait to hear what your having! Im going to guess girl

big hugs cheercoach fingers crossed AF doesnt appear. i worry aswell that it will take ages for it to happen, but you just got to try not to think like that as it will do nothing but get you down

 

[ttcbabyw1]

Kelly: yay!

Pixie: glad he's putting in a bit of effort too!!

To all: my wonderful SIL is possibly having a miscarriage. She is about 10 weeks and her first scan is Friday. Any prayers appreciated. Hoping it's a false alarm!

 

[BabyMaybe917]

Alright those of you who do the OPK's. This is my first month using them and they have all been stark white (well except for the control line of course). Will the lines gradually start lightly appearing then get darker until it's darker than the control. Or can it just be stark white one day and dark and positive the next? I'm only CD 10 but I'm scared to death that just because there is literally NOTHING that I'm not going to O this month.

Thanks in advance!

So sorry to hear of your SIL prayers your way. Hope everything turns out okay.

And I forgot to put in my post above that I'm excited about Kelly's gender scan. I didn't know you could get them so early!!!

 

[mouse_chicky]

Pixie, I'm glad your oh is getting geared up for baby. It always takes the guys longer to come around.

KellyC75, I can't believe it's already time for the gender scan! It seems like you just found out.

Good luck catching the eggy Sweetpea!

ttcbabyw1, I hope everything turns out ok with your SIL's pregnancy. Keep us posted.
