    Hi all

    Can I join please? I'm 32 and been trying to conceive since Jan 2010 when my last depo finished. However I have been on some form of contraception for 10 plus years, with the depo for the last 3, and I can feel it's going to be a long haul as I'm already on CD51 after having a period at the end of Jan. :eek:

    My boobs are really tender and have been for a few weeks, and although I did a test a couple of weeks ago, I'm planning to do one again (just in case). Had a few weird dreams lately too, but that's just me!

    Anyone have any tips for me or is it just a case of being patient :mad:

    Good luck to all.

    Congrats TigTag and MS fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow.

    I've just had a call from a friend who has been ttc too..she's just had her 12 week scan and wanted to tell me, but didnt know how I'd take it. Apparently when I was having my MC in Jan, she was 6 weeks herself.

    I'm obviously delighted for her and her OH as they have been frantically trying for over a year and she's been quite obsessive about the whole thing, but I am so jealous too and burst into tears as soon as I put the phone down :(

    I feel like its never going to happen for me, and if I do get preg again the same thing will happen. I was in quite a jolly mood until I heard her news..now I'm on another massive downer..isnt that selfish of me :(

    MV I hope you don't mind but I am coming out from lurking as I don't see anyone else on line and I don't want you to think you are being ignored.

    You are not being selfish, I have not been through what you have but what you are feeling is totally understandable. Yes she is your friend and you are happy for her but you want this to be happening to you!

    Your turn will come and you will be a fab mummy (fingers crossed you get that bfp next week!)

    Have a good cry (and some choccy if it helps) but keep positive.

    Take care xx

    Metranil Vavin you're not being selfish...I'm sat next to my BFF who is 7 months pregnant. It's hard at first but focus on being a part of the new baby's life...it will happen for you again I'm sure - you've managed the first step already to get pregnant so at least you know that you are capable of that.

    To add insult to injury, not only is she 7 months preggers (and reading over my shoulder) the beeeatch is eating my cadburys creme egg and I gave up chocolate for lent! BFF are the best. :)

    Happy baby dust to you and keep smiling even tho inside you are crying.
  • Hi all,

    Massive congrats to Tigtag!

    Hugs to MV (ur not being selfish at all, i think it is a very natural reaction to have, and i have had that reaction myself) and MS12 (good luck for tomorrow)

    Welcome Katy, hope your stay is short!

    I think taking temperatures every morning before getting up is good so you'll know whereabouts in the cycle you are. Once temp goes up, ov's finished. If it stays up for more than 2 weeks, time to test:p
    I feel like its never going to happen for me, and if I do get preg again the same thing will happen. I was in quite a jolly mood until I heard her news..now I'm on another massive downer..isnt that selfish of me :(
    (((Hugs))). I think deep down, I know I'll never be a mum. I might get pregnant later this year but probably lose it again:(

    Mv - I don't think your being selfish at all, it's a natural reactio after what you've been through. It just shows your human that's all. Big hugs to u.

    Q - I know it's so scary after a m/c to think about being pregnant and losing it again, but the odds are on our side and you will be a mum. And I'm sure you'll be a fantastic mum!

    I'll go back to lurking now. X.
