    Hi Becs, I don't ever dare to look at the pregnancy thread as it seems like tempting fate, but I see what you mean about it being busier!

    Aless02 - my OH was exactly the same when I agreed we could lose the condoms and I hope it has had the same effect for you as it did me - lots more BDing as he was far more keen to!

    So we will start really trying next month - he keeps telling me we are just getting in the practise now :rotfl:

    Hi helen81,

    I wish :rotfl: - but am missing OH at present, so probably yes you're right about why it is so quiet! Fingers crossed for you, counting down the days x
  • Nikabella that is exactly the same as me with my DD. I was told she would be 5ibs and she was 7lb 5 lol. I even had to have extra scans to check she was groing at 32 weeks and it was great because I got to see her again and it was so much clearer. They asked me where I was hiding her because my bump was tiny and I wore the same jeans all the way through. I am a size 8. xx

    They like to stress you out about these things don't they lol. I had to be monitored every other day because she was "so small" but all the extra scans are a nice bonus. I'm kind of worried that this time my bump will be huge as all my friends popped earlier & got bigger bumps the 2nd time. My stomach went back to normal as my DD came out last time but I know the muscle tone won't be as good now. I kept telling myself I should do some exercise to get it back to pre-pg but it's now, somehow, 2 years on :rolleyes:. So I think I will end up with a bump much earlier next time.

    Reverie, I'm on CD6 today & my Ovulation Tests arrived from the ebay seller yesterday, I can't wait to use them as the mystery of not knowing when I was ovulating was driving me mad. I know this sounds terrible but I'll be happy to be able to think I've ov'd we've BD'd lots & now there's no pressure for the rest of the month to think 'must BD - no matter how tired - must not miss ov!'. It's awful we are only 23 & 25 but BDing just isn't much fun when you are obsessing about getting pregnant, I sound like a right boring old woman don't I!!

    This thread is very quiet in comparison to the pregnancy thread, if we ever manage to grauate to that thread I don't know how I'll keep up with them :rotfl:

    I don't really want a December/January baby again, as it's so close to Christmas for the little ones, so if we don't catch this month I think we will lay off the trying so hard for a couple of months (who am I kidding?!?!) but it will be murphy's law that it'll happen then won't it :rolleyes:

    Baby dust to everyone.

  • We are on our first "proper" month of trying for baby number 3- by the time we had decided to start trying last month we had missed my fertile time. Af is due sometime between today and Sat I think so just playing the waiting game now. Have got all the symptons - including being sick Sun, Tues, Wed and today but feel like af may be on the way has I had a bit of pink cm yesterday (tmi, sorry) and feel a bit crampy today. Scared every time I go the toilet incase af has arrived lol. I had forgotten how stressful all this ttc is!
    Good luck to everyone x

    Nikabella- me and OH have said similar..if we arn't pg this time,we will leave it for a few months as we are going to Florida in May and I really don't fancy it in the early stages of pregnancy..tiredness,morning sickeness ect..AND DD's birthday is new years day,so wouldn't want another around that time.Weve said we will start trying again whilst on holiday..nice relaxing evenings in the villa's pool n spa..should do the trick :rotfl:
