Trying for a Baby Part Six

twigpig

Good morning lovelies....

I've been reading and thanking posts over the weekend, but didn't get around to posting :rotfl:

CD45 and I tested this morning, and I'm afraid that it's still BFN......Expecting that it's not our month. We're both absolutely and completely fine about it, and just looking forward to getting started next month now. (Think that's month 10 now). I've never gone longer than CD45, so hoping AF comes along soon, to stop me wondering.

On other notes, my healthy eating still going pretty well. Need to weigh myself later to see how I'm doing. Still feeling in a good place overall. I know that we all have ups and downs, so I'm sure the downs will sneak up on me sooner or later, as it does with us all

phunkles - OH knows I read, post etc on here and on this thread (as I said before I have another ID for non ttc things). He's got no issues with this, we've both learned so much over the last couple of months that friends couldn't have helped with unless we told people we're ttc, and we don't want to do this. We're happy to take any advice about ttc, whether it's pre-seed, cbfm or just trying to work out symptoms, cycles and stuff. I also tell him some of the funny stuff I read from here that makes me laugh too. He never reads it or anything, but thinks it good for help and advice. He knows both of my ID's....Forums aren't really his thing, but he's more than happy for me to be posting etc... He told me to post about the spotting and stuff to see what some of you thought about it. He chuckles at me, as neither of us have a clue what my body is doing. It has a mind of it's own :rofl:

We take the whole ttc thing light hearted, although I do have my own moments that I don't share with him (the pains fo seeing babies and wanting one of my own and the depressed feeling when friends say that they're pg. He said it's good as it'll give our bean someone to play with. Bless him, he always find the positive things and makes feel so much better about it all. Maybe it's cause he doesn't have all the hormones that we ladies have

deborah - glad that you and OH managed to sort everything out. It can be so stressful ttc, so it's not surprising that you needed a good long chat to sort through how you're both feeling. Glad you're back with us.....

SBDTA!

my temps have started dropping yesterday and today, so i think i'm def not in with a chance. managed to convince myself over the last couple of days that i am though, told the hubby and he looked really pleased which surprised me as it's taken him a long time to get to this stage, so it's worth it just for that smile he gave me.

I was beginning to think OH wasn't really that bothered until last week when I was feeling sick and every time I told him, he started grinning inanely. (Despite the fact that he had just had a sickness bug so it was more likely to be that making me feel sick.)

Thanks Q, how do I reset the day on my cbfm??

Keep pressing m until it starts flashing, and take the finger off when it says 5:) If you missed today's window, don't worry, set it at CD5 tomorrow, it's only a day difference, it'll be fine:o

Relax, thermometer is still behind your bed:p
As for CBFM, you can still read the lines manually, otherwise get IC OPKs?:o

In other news, had a heart to heart with DH at the weekend and looks like we may be starting TTC early in the New Year!!:j (He initially wanted to wait a year or so after my mmc).

Yay!:j
You can drink to your hearts content over Christmas!:xmastree:

I think i ovulated quite late - it was CD 17 I think and my cycles are always 28 days. Is 11 days long enough?

That should be fine:) 12 is better though:p

My DH knows I come on this site and I've mentioned this thread to him. If he was to pop along he'd obviously know straight away who I am - so maybe I should start saying really mean things about him just in case he's reading it!

Morning ladies. Sorry I just don't get much time to post or read at the weekends but think I've caught up now.

CD28 here (of 30 day cycle). Not testing till the weekend though as OVd on CD21. Trying soooo hard not to SS. Went for a massive run yesterday to take my mind of things (have decided that if I can't be pg, I will at least be thin for my 30th in April!!! :rotfl:)

Also trying very hard not to get worked up about my SILs impending visit ooop north to see us at the weekend. She is 36 weeks pg and I haven't seen her since end July. I just know our PIL are going to be cooing over the near arrival of first grandchild (thought it would be me first ) I think I am going to have to be verrrrrry strong and hold it together. Feel like such a b***h saying that because I am truly happy for them and excited about my first niece/nephew but also just gutted I don't have any news of that sort of my own.

Anyway, going to try to stay positive and hope the witch stays absent this week. Fingers crossed

Morning all.

Hugs claireloo. It's especially hard when you can't say anything and even if you did, you wouldn't want them to think you were dampening spirits. You just have to paint a happy face on. The birth if my latest niece/nephew is imminent and I thought I'd be expecting before it's born but doesn't look that way now. I suppose it's a kind of jealousy but I woulnt have wanted them to be jealous if it was me first. I really am happy for them but allow myself a teeny bit of self pity.

Cd22 and think I should have ov'd but didn't temp yesterday because Saturday/Sunday readings seem to go a bit haywire. Slightly high this morning so need to see what happens over the next few days.

Yes that's exactly how I feel - equal parts made up for them, excited about the baby myself but quite jealous too. (and I hate myself for feeling that way grrrr).

Also maybe just maybe "whispers it very quietly* I might have my own BFP on Sunday :rotfl:

wow twigpig CD45? hope u get ur answer soon x

hello all i have a confession to make!!! although we're meant to be on a TTC amnesty OH & i ended up BDing last nite & i confess i used the Pre Seed!!!! :rotfl:don't know what came over me.... !! excuse the phrase!!! - but it could have been that the docs appt was good news & i just thought will be unlikely to get pg but if I do then fine can just deal & postpone the minor op. if its meant to be it will be, why let another month go by?? eeek!

Edit to say just worked out on CD17 of 30 day cycle... looks likely we've missed OV this month anyway? x
