Trying For a Baby II
Comments

Hi guys, i am also struggling not to read too much into how i am feeling, i am just feeling run down, but it is only 6dpo, so i don't think there should be any symptoms to spot yet, but then my cycle was only 25days last month, so that would mean af is due in 3 days! But i am hoping it has gone back to the 29 days, then i will be testing around the weekend as well! although i shouldn't really be thinking this way, we are meant to be having a month off!
Oh well, can't switch my girl brain off and all i want is tha BFP, TTc cycle 15 so it would be great, I will stop waffling now
Very sticky baby dust to all

Got married on the 26th April 08!!!!!!!:j:T
Bumpy Bean was due 20th Nov 2010, born 15th Nov :j:j:T0 -
Hugs for those feeling down today. I have to join you, whilst I felt OK yesterday about AF's arrival I've felt quite down today. Probably helped along by feeling tired as I was late (for me) in bed last night. My head knows a few more months of waiting won't hurt, and technically would be better as OH has just finished the first of a 3 year university course. But my heart has been broody for about 5 years, and we've been ttc since Jan last year so its hurting today.
Fairyshazza - I know how you feel, I'm 33 and if I say that to someone they say oh you've plenty of time but it doesn't feel like it to me, as my mum went through menopause in her early 40s so i feel time is running away with me.
Sorry for the moan, just needed to get it off my chest. And i've not seen OH since AF started!
Oh the marriage front OH and I aren't married for various reasons, I'd like to be but as money is tight I'm choosing baby (if I'm lucky) over marriage, that can wait!!
Good luck to everyone!!0 -
Aww Gena feel free to moan, everyone has to have a moan every now and then

Good luck for Bding after awful AF has gone.
Confuzzled, I am testing on the 2nd July or the 5th, (mine seems to far away compared to others lol) I am not sure what to do, cos I think I ov'd 2 days late, if so then AF isnt due till the 4th?

symptoms? Tiredness, feeling a bit sicky at times, getting cm a bit like I did with last pregnancy.
FIL actually said I look tired today to lol.
Had doctors this morning for my ECG heart test thingy cause I keep getting light headed and it was ok, have some blood tests on Thursday now. One is to see if I'm immune to rubellaas we're ttc. Not looking forward to that.
Welcome to all the newbies!!
And again congrats to Sarah:)

Hi
I still lurk on here to see how u girls are getting on! Hope to see some BFP's soon!!
EA - just wanted to say that if you are pregnant then you shouldn't have the Rubella injection DURING pregnancy.

If you aren't pregnant then you might find you need to wait a few months before you do pregnant.
Hope to see you all on Pregnancy Thread soon

Where does the time go? :think:0 -
Is anybody else not telling people that they are TTC?
I told my mum that we were thinking about it a couple of months ago but we haven't mentioned it to anybody else.
We visited DH's parents yesterday and it was so difficult talking about different things without mentioning our baby plans. We've got quite a small house and the spare bedroom is very small so we've been clearing it out in preparation. It came up in conversation and then we had to try and come up with a reason for why we were doing it!
We'd better get pg soon or there'll be loads of strange stories and fibs running round the family!0 -
We have only told my best friend, no one else. I just don't feel comfortable with loads of people knowing, and would rather not have the pressure of "so, how is it going?!" all the time0

When we first started ttc I told 3 friends - one in particular would alternate between asking when we'd get married and when we'd have a baby - in a friendly/cheeky way!! I am rubbish at lying to them so told them straight out and i'm happy that they know. A few more people know now after the pg/mc but still not everyone and i'd rather keep it that way, i'm good at dealing with sympathy, and i'd be thinking they'd wonder why i'm not pg yet. Very paranoid and self-obsessed i know!0

Ive told my Mam and OH has told his mam and dad, and my two best mates know, but thats it
We still dont know if we are going to tell them when we get that BFP or if we are going to wait for the 12 week scan, although my friends keep asking how we are getting on with the BDing lolDebt £30,823.48/£44,856.56 ~ 06/02/21 - 31.28% Paid OffMortgage (01/04/09 - 01/07/39)

Hi all, very faint line on OV test earlier, I thought carp, please don't come too soon this week as OH still won't be here and will go mad if I call him to meet again! Oh well, fingers crossed I can hold off OV for a few days yet...
Nobody still knows we are trying and I like it that way - no questions or searching looks, just being treated as normal - suits me fine!
So many of you SS at the moment and I so hope we will have a few BFPs appearing within the next week - we could set a record for most +ve posts over a weekend and make it into the MSE newsletter :rotfl:0 -
Currently 14dpo so just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head. Had a -ve on saturday (FRER) so pretty sure I'm out for this month.0
