Hi, guys, I feel really bad that I came in with cheerful silliness yesterday and everyone had had a terrible time.

Hugs all round.

Hi ladies, I am here lurking at the mo. No results back yet.
I'm just lurking as not had the best of weeks and to be honest af arriving on saturday I've just really had enough of it all now and really beginning to wonder why I continue to put myself through it every month and at what point do we just accept things and get on with our lives.

Hi Ladies

Sorry to all that AF has arrived for..

Hugs to all that need them

Becs - hope your o.k. Maybe you need some time out for a while.

I go on other forums not TTC or money ones, and have to say out of them all I really enjoy this thread. But its very different in that you can have people on here who have the best news ever and some with the worst. But all get the same amount of support and arent judged for whatever mood they are in. Think thats why I like.

My update - still bleeding nearly 3 weeks now...

I wish my little bean would share out little healthy bean friends to all my virtual friends on here x

Hey girlies!

Fuzz that must be a very difficult milestone to pass. I'll understand if you want to be quiet for a bit, but please don't feel you can't share your sadness with us (((hugs)))

twinklie glad the kids are being lovely, and good to hear you are so excited about getting to POAS, can't help but think it will be an anticlimax though!

becs i was also wondering about you and your OH earlier - hope all is ok

jujugaboo welcome to the madness

moneysaver12 that is odd about the MMR jab, all my docs have ever said is make sure you are taking folic acid.

Well an update from me, I have been feeling very restless recently, guess my patience is starting to wear low again. I've been worrying again that I have endometriosis (since I have just about all the symptoms), and that that is why I've not had a BFP yet.

Sooo went to the docs today to see what they could do, have been stressing about it all day cos I hate going to the docs incase they treat you like your stupid. However, the doc was lovely and seemed understanding, said they usually wait for 1 year of trying (as i knew), but that there are some initial tests that they can start now. I've got to go in on Monday for my 1st blood to check for progesterone to make sure I've ovulated, then back again on CD2 to check for FSL and LH (i think). And she said OH can get his sperm checked in April so that all basic tests are done by May when I hit the 12 month mark.

She also said that often people get pg as soon as tests are started so fingers crossed...

It just feels good to have started the process.

Actually I think it's time for me to leave as I'm feeling guilty IYKWIM:o

Been here so long and didn't think I would be needing to leave. Hopefully I wont be needing to return but if I do I know I'll be welcome.

I don't even know if I can lurk anymore because it's not doing me any good feeling guilty... so if I could be PM'd with any important news that would be great

Lots of love and sparkly babydust to all xxx

Well, I gave into temptation and POAS this morning (well, PIAC as it was a cheapy dipstick-type one). BFN, which was expected since I am only 10DPO. Bloomin' tests were driving me mad tho - I was dying to see what happens (never done a HPT before in my life!). So, now that I've had a play and seen what happens, I can wait til my proper testing date. Or try my best to... Should be able to last til the weekend at least! I hope

We can keep each other to waiting til the weekend to test! My testing list date is next tues but if af hasn't turned up I might test Sat when DH is around. I'm now a bit confused as I look at the 'in detail' bit of FF and it is saying my CM pattern shows me to have ov'd day 16-18 but the temp showed CD14. I think it's because I probably mistook leftover pre-seed for CM (sorry if tmi!)

Fuzz hugs and thoughts to you and your OH, you know we're all here. I can't imagine how painful it must be. Even at this early stage for us I am thinking of taking a pg for 4th time facebook friend off my fb as it's painful to hear all the baby talk.

hello all

im not sure i belong on here but maybe you might disagree...here goes

i have 2 wonderful sons...ds1 is 5 and ds2 is 14 months...we have been talking about trying for another baby...seems simple enough..youd think

my AF has always been really irregular...i was so sure i wouldnt be able to have children because of it...well i had ds1...i hadnt been with his dad long so that wa s aHUGE shock...and i really had set myself up for never having babies..in the 4 yrs i was eith him we never used protection, i never conceived that whole tme

..after splitting with him i got with my OH and we had talked about kids in the future...at that point my periods were every 3 months and being naive i thought you needed monthly AF to get pregnant obviously not the case because i had an AF in the jan got PG in the march .
it may seem that i easily get PG...but i dont think thats true...as i say DS2 is 14 months...i was on the pill from him being 6 weeks to about 4 months....then stopped....i didnt have an AF for 6 months...again in that time we werent using any protection, now i seem to have AF every 2 - 3 weeks (after end of AF) ....lasting at least 2 weeks...i have just had blood tests and a scan for PCOS...the scan was clear have to call for the BT results.

in my head i feel like i wont have another baby even to we are trying...i know i have 2 beautiful sons and i am grateful for that and i feel bad as i know there are people who have none and are struggling....but i still cant get over the fact it has been a yr now...no protection...plenty of the other...but no baby...how long do i go before i can say that im struggling to conceive?...obviously my AF is making it akward as i have no idea anymore if i am ovulating ....and if i am when i am...or even when to test...iyswim?

so to go on...but im hoping taht if anyone will understand you ladies will

thanks...and hugs to all xx

Clearly you don't know me well!! :rotfl: It's not even the stick bit that I'm excited about, it's just using the gadget that's been sat in my cupboard FOREVER!

I love gadgets. You should have seen me when we got the new washing machine. I kept stroking it. OOOOH and the fridge!!!!!

I totally need a life.

Awww...smartie I feel bad you feel guilty but can understand what you mean. I'd be sad to see you go though.
