Trying for a Baby part 5....

kairi

oh and a massive CONGRATULATIONS to Gizmodo!!!

oh my god. I just happened to read this article on signs of pregancy and I actually tick a few boxes. I think I am getting obsessed with TTC. Does anyone else just keep looking for signs of pregnancy in themselves???
Anyway this is what I've got
- possible implantation bleeding (although this is under a question mark as the bleeding wasn't exactly how they describe them)
- ever so slight AF-like cramping today
- frequent urination
- Quote: "Altered sense of taste. You may notice that your sense of taste changes. Some women say they have a metallic taste in their mouth, others that they cannot stand the taste of coffee, tea, or a food they usually like"
I have been having this weird taste in my mouth the last few days. I don't know if it's metallic but it's unpleasant. And I always have coffee in the mornings and it's suddenly started to taste awful. I thought at first it was just the coffee at work but I had a coffee from somewhere else today and it was just as bad.
- I'm always tired anyway so that doesn't really count...

I really must stop looking for signs.......

But I'm still going to do a test next weekend. Just to be sure as I don't want to be doing anything to possibly harm the baby if I, by miracle, happen to be pregnant.

CBFM?

Were you asking if I use it, or suggesting that I do?

I'm not quite ready for CBFM, but I will be getting my thermometer ready and a little diary or something.

Sticky baby dust everyone, nite nite.

Yes! But I am trying to ignore them. Last month I was convinced I had an implantation bleed - a small amount of brown blood one or two days out (unheard of for me)... but no it was not an implantation bleed

I really hope you are right Kairi but do keep your feet on the ground cos it could always go either way.

Good luck!!!

Hello all, can I delurk and join you or rather re join you lovely people please?! I was previously trying in 2008 but then decided to put on hold. Started again end of last year. Have just got my CBFM and 8 sticks courtesy of ebay ready for AF on friday. I'm 39 so not getting younger as people like to remind me. Congratulations to all BFP's xx

Welcome madbird...my BFF is 39 and just given birth to her first after 12 years + no contraception so there is hope. Your CBFM is en-route so that gives you the best chance I think as it means you tend to DTD on the right days.

For me, happy happy me now, I appear to have my DH back from the depths of deepest darkest work stress.:j

CD20 for me...it's gone to peak and we DTD this morning... two days since the last and planning for tomorrow too. Could manage tonight but going for quality not quantity.

Also, I have had no EWCM this month that I have noticed but I might have missed it doing BD and all that ickyness. (sorry for TMI but we all know the score). And somebody was worried about CD14... I've got my first peaks over the last 3 cycles of CBFM on CD18, CD21 and now CD20. The first month I didn't get a peak just highs and that's when DH started getting stressed with the on-demand and we never got any further.

Even though we have been trying since October...I'm starting to count this month as the first as we have never actually DTD often enough to justify calling it "trying".

Off for a weekend break tomorrow to a hotel. And Giz, I've not signed up to a gym or anything but have taken up snowboarding....bought concieve plus although not used it as I seem to be ok in that dept, have 3 IC preg tests and 2 CB digi ready to go. I was going to order my next box of CBFM sticks as I only have 9 left but think I'm going to be optimistic and wait to test of if AF comes.

To summarise, thinks are looking up for me whether I get PG this month or not. I'm on my uppers so I hope my PMA can rub off on you lot as life is pretty good and can only get better.

Yeay for team TTC Pt 5 girls (and Simon). :T

That sounds promising, but for others, I've had them all but no pg;)

AF started full flow of an evening, so I counted the next day at CD1. Even then, I should have a high by now!!

Was all I could think of, QQ is much more clued up than me.

I have no idea what the prof thinks of reflexology. I'm guessing it's not positive!! I do like my lady though, and it is nice and relaxing. Some ailments she has picked up on. Although she keeps going on about how I must have had whiplash or something at some point as I have a very clicky big toe I haven't had any of the sort lol.

Only that it's value is in the fact that you get positive attention and a pleasant experience, but we knew that.

I asked the same to my psychotherapist and she absolutely assures me that my body will adjust just the way everyone else does and the baby will fit out the hole, and yes it will hurt, but no different to anyone else Still doesn't make me feel better though! I think I'm more worried about internal examinations than actually giving birth.

BGT Britain's Got Talent, am guessing. Don't worry, its really not that bad, and if it were we wouldn't do it more than once.

Bit of both.

I'm on CD12, with my first peak. The CBFM stick has two blue lines, with the stronger of the two near the end you wee on. DTD.
