Trying for a Baby Part 7

dundeediva

Just want to say a huge congrats to the BFPs over the past few days! I wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months :j


I'm still in limbo at the moment, still no AF but feeling bloated and a bit sick this morning, hopefully she'll show soon so I know where I am!

Mine have only been one or two days of full flow (light to medium) since coming off the pill and it doesn't seem to have been a problem

Thanks emsbet! Feel much better after reading replies - it's amazing how I can turn one tiny worry into a giant problem without even thinking about it!

I don't think so. Mine are really short now, about a day and a half of very light flow usually compared to 4/5 days of moderate to heavy. The first one I had which was like this was the one before I conceived my son, and they have stayed like that, even after his birth, and again after my recent miscarriage.

I googled at the time and everything I found said it wasn't a problem.

I echo this. Periods often get lighter after you've had children, plus they tend to get lighter as you age anyway. I don't think you build up as much womb lining each month.

Morning all
Birdie, your OH sounds lovely, just remember how lucky you are to have each other for support. I think a lot of people can't understand what it's like until they go through it. My mum had 2 miscarriages after having my sister and before she had me (had to get fertility treatment) and I know she found it incredibly hard when other family members got pg really easily (between me and my sis being born she had 6 nephews/nieces born!) Keep at it, the best things in life are always worth waiting for.

Ovd over the weekend so am now on 2ww...fingers crossed! Not getting my hopes up as it's only the first attempt, but you never know.

Huge congrats Kittycat :j hope you have a lovely healthy pregnancy!

I'm feeling really blue today. My brother rang me yesterday afternoon to tell me that his wife is PG, which has left me feeling both and . They'd been trying for a whole 2 weeks, and despite my SIL knowing that we're TTC and have been for a few months now, she rambled on about how easy it was and how she just knew last week that she was PG and all of her symptoms and I just wanted to say, 'I'm happy for you but please go away so I can have a cry now!' OH was really clingy after that, claimed he was comforting me but I think he needed just as many cuddles as I did. What sucks is that I've got no-one to talk to about it, I can't tell my best friends as they're friendly with SIL and they don't want anyone to know until the 12 weeks has passed, I can't talk about it at work as they don't know I'm TTC, I'd normally talk to mum but she's going to be over the moon excited so I can't say anything and I know that I'm just being petty and jealous! I had a feeling that she'd get PG before me but the reality has hit me quite hard.

I think it would be really hard not to feel as how you feel.

I have one friend who is ttc at the moment, we started at the same time. Luckily shes not the sort of person who would make it a race or anything - which is precisely why I havent told a couple of other people I know.

Morning all

Congratulations to Kittycat! :j Lots of BFPs at the moment, brilliant!

((hugs)) to all who need them - have just skim read posts, thinking of Kitten, Birdie, Secretdebts and all others who I haven't mentioned.

I have a quick question - are short periods anything to worry about? I only came off the pill at the end of October, but since then (not counting withdrawal bleed) I've had a 31 day cycle followed by a three day period, and now a 30 day cycle followed by a two day bleed (less than 48 hours).

Before I was on the pill I'm sure my period always lasted at least four days.

Thanks in advance for replies.

Mine are the same. Really short compared to what I had before. I was really scared about coming off the pill incase I had what I used to have when I went on at at 17 - awful heavy periods.

Everyone I know who is/has been PG concieved fairly quickly and everything went well from start to finish; I can't help but worry that the odds are against me since the statistics have to come from somewhere and if I know a lot of people with textbook pregnancies and peerfect babies then I must be the exception... but I'm just having a bad day and over-thinking!

Dont worry, I think that too!

Does this mean we will lose you for a couple of weeks until the ssing begins?

Sooo many congrats to Emsbet! and to the others as well but she's the only one i feel like i know happy and healthy nine months to you all

well the weekend away did us wonders, lovely to have some much time with DH without too much technology to distract him lol had a toast on saturday night to our angel, so i hope she heard us and knows how much we love her and miss her. hope she chooses her little brother or sister to send to us soon

managed to BD both days as well which is great as i felt some pains this morning so think i might be ovulating (so i'll try and see if i can get another one in tonight ) which would be right on time for a 14 day lp in a 35 day cycle so fingers crossed!

i've been tracking things to spot ov symptoms including cervical mucus so i have question for you all...how long before OV should i have it for or is it a case of every woman's different? in my little book of madness, i had two days of stick (thursday friday) then two days of EWCM. today it seems to have dried up a little again. so i hope this is another sign i've OVed but maybe i'm SSing that too! :rotfl: we'll carry on with the every 2-3 days anyway, i want DH to be in the habit and i think he'll be less stressed if he's no idea when O might happen, cos he did say on sunday he felt a little pressured to perform, but off his own back rather than from me cos i said several times he didn't have to finish x x
