    p.s. any ladies out there with an Andriod phone/device...Fertility Friend now does an app for that :D

    Hubby will be happy cos he'll be able to be able to see what's going on now (he actually asked if there was one like a week ago!)

    evening!

    congrats MrsE fingers crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months.

    well i am a right grump atm, PMA done a bunk! I am 25 this year we started trying when I was 22 and although my dicky thyroid is alot of the reason things didn't work out as we had to stop for a while its just frustrating that we had thought by now we would have one with another one being seriously thought about. This isn't where I thought I would be in life at this stage and the thought makes me feel miserable.

    right i will b****r off now and stop bringing it all down!

    ((hugs))) bigzippy and tinksy.

    Although we have only just starting TTC when I was younger and thought about having children I never in a million years thought I would have to wait until I was 30 just to find the right person to start trying with.

    Same here! I always thought I would be married and trying by 25, but I wasn't with the right person. Two or three long-term (but ultimately failed) relationships later, here I am (just turned 30), finally in a place where we can have a baby! And even now, we're only TTC in a 'leaving it to fate' way, as I've said before, without too much of the counting days and checking CM and temp and OPKs... Although I maaaaay have recently ordered some OPK sticks from Amazon... all in the interests of getting more familiar with my body and cycles after years on the pill you understand... :D :whistle:

    My biological clock is ticking so loud now, and to be fair it has been ticking for the last few years, but we are where we are, and hopefully I will have a child at some point in the not-too-distant future!

    All we can do is not stress about it too much and just have fun trying!

    Hi all, had a read through but can't remember much! My head is too full of wedding stuff!

    There were some BFPs though so congrats!!

    CD12 here and still no line on the OPK, was still getting what I think are OV pains this morning though so I'm sticking with BDing every other day....assuming OH can be convinced.....I doubt it'll take much, he's loving it, I'm usually a once a week girl if he's lucky!!!

    I thought I would follow on from older siblings, getting wed at 21 and kids at 23 - full family by now... :cool:

    I'm the eldest of three. The middle one has been married six year and has two kids. The youngest is only 21 and thankfully isn't thinking of having kids anytime soon- think it would kill me if she got pg before me! :o
    I always used my mum as my benchmark when I was younger thinking how my life would be- at my age she had been married 12 years and had three kids! I just have to keep telling myself times are different and I am not my mum. :o
    It may have taken me a while but I'm married to the most amazing person in the world and that I wouldn't change for the world. There's no point in me wishing we'd met earlier because I can't change that. :o
    Check me out working on the PMA! ;)

    I'd go for it and see what happens:p

    I thought I'd have had 4 kids by 29:o
    I never wanted 4 kids though, it's just that someone read my palm and said I'll have 4 kids:o

    If you have a baby every year with perhaps one set of twin, then there's still time:D
