Trying for a Baby Part 7

Aida, it's a total guess! I'm just going by online calcutators that say I should ovulate soonish. Not temping yet as it's only out first month of TTC. I'm so impatient so I will probably end up temping or doing whatever else it takes

thank for the info !!My ge a period every 4 weeks and i am pretty regular.. I only Bd on the 13 th and then really this week. I have been under a lot of stress all this month so that could be a reason why my period hasn't arrive yet.

You should check your CM if you are OK with it and perhaps your cervix? When you aren't fertile your cervix is low (you can easly reach it) and it's got the same texture as your tip of your nose and when you're fertile it should be high and the same texture like you lips (soft and open). I started BBT and checking my CM + cervix last month and is soooo addictive .

Just popping in to say good luck QQ for tomorrow.

Was my post to moneypenny completely beyond the pale? She seems to be extremely upset about it, and is over now on the pregnancy thread saying it has ruined her entire day

I am sad that bigzippy, primmer and a few other ladies have posted recently to say they need to take a break because of newbies who pop up and get a BFP quickly, and also to read some of the posts over this weekend from some ladies who are in bits just at the moment with ttc, to the extent they are actively unwell. I did try and be as tactful as I could to that poster, whilst encouraging her to take her questions about early pregnancy over to the other thread, where I now see she'd been posting all day anyway! At 11dpo with a BFN, I will hold my hands up and say that just at the moment, I'm probably also in the vulnerable camp, though trying to keep my PMA for next month going, and would like to be in TTC40's tally of 6month+ers for next month, and post loss'ers too.

Hi Kitten. How's it going? Hope you are having an uneventful pregnancy. How many weeks now?

Still in denial, about 15/16 weeks just trying not to get too ahead of myself. Just hoping for a live baby this time.

Hoping all you guys can come join me and keep me sane.

skintchick, your talk with your DH is brilliant:T
My DH doesn't take the tabs even though we know he has sperm problems:mad:
His reasoning being as we can't conceive without IVF (ICSI), there's no point in taking anything:lipsrseal

That's so frustrating for you! Men really do seem to have their heads in the sand on this issue. I had to be so blunt with my OH for him to get it.

Moneypenny - congratulations on your news. Sorry you felt you had to edit your posts. I wondered when I saw it if it had been an April Fool of some kind, but now I see why you did it. I think the thing is, if you just lurk but don;t post, then your news comes as a very unexpected bolt from the blue, and those of us with histories in TTC and miscarriages, then suddenly have to process that without knowing you so that we are immediately happy for you, instead we are kind of thrown sideways by it.

I must admit I do wonder why you'd lurk on a thread like this and never post, and then suddenly post your BFP. But I do hope it all goes well for you.


AFM, I've worked out that if I were pregnant this cycle my EDD would be ... drumroll ... Christmas!! :rotfl:So as that would be my absolute worst case scenario in terms of a baby being born, it must surely be my month! :cool:

this is an incredibly difficult thread to get accepted into at times, especially when it moves quickly between just a few posters who appear to know each other well - but if you've read and lurked and seen the responses more popular members get when they post their bfp I can see how you would think everyone would get such a warm response.

Newbies might want to consider the above but change popular to 'involved'. Please contribute/ share your journey. It can be hard to see others get BFPs but if it's someone you have got to know, it's easier (well it is for me) -although still wish it was me next!

Q - do you just leave everyone on the initial list forever? Was just wondering if they are all still TTC. As some of them are names I never see posting.
