    Hi QQaver,

    Thank you. Misc was only after about 6 weeks and turn out not the right time for me, was not meant to be. Only makes a little worried about ttc.

    Me and partner healthy about BDing. We both do shift work so can be easy to miss that window.

    We had a good chat a week ago after I booked the coil out appt. He understood my past pressures and he had his own from his ex.

    They only tried for a couple of months and demanded when to BDing. It was the start of the end of the relationship. So I have to keep that in mind,
    But this all feels right for both.
    Thank you for adding me :)
    When does CD start? so I can up date you I think I am CD21 if I read right.
    All new to me :)

    Hello,hope i've done this right.Not used to forums and hubby to be is telling me how to quote?:o I understand how you are feeling as we have both had difficult times too.

    To introduce myself,I'm Sara and 28.Me and future hubby have been together 7 months now,a very fast relationship to some but we knew each other years ago when he was married.We're planning on getting married winter next year but want to start our family sooner.He's already in his 30's and I'm heading there (29 at the end of the month) and it just feels like time for me.

    I am feeling worried at times due to a miscarraige 10 years ago and the pressures from previous relationship too.My last partner was desperate for a baby and I guess I was too but I needed to relaxed about it and in a better position (I suffer from depression).We couldn't agree on things due to it so we split which was very painful at the time but in hindsight the best thing :)

    My future hubby has 2 children from his marriage but a very difficult ex so he rarely gets to see them :( I do worry (and he's telling me off for this) that I may be hard on myself if it takes a long time due to his lost relationships with his kids and the fact him and his ex never tried it just happened with no planning?Me and ex tried for some time before I voiced my thoughts so I don't know if there were any issues.

    Have to say I don't know much about ovulation testing etc but would love some info as it may help me feel more positive about trying :) On quite a strict budget at the moment due to past debts and child maintenance payments so the cheaper any tests the better really:o Thankfully though all debts will be paid within 6 months after lots of suffering the get them all paid off quickly ready for our wedding,new life and hopefully a beautiful bouncing baby!

    Oh!Thank you,I wasn't sure on them.How is it they are meant to work?

    Trying to relax but not sure where I am at the moment as came off the combined pill 2 months ago (and I think it never helped my depression being on it :( )and have had an awful two weeks of bleeding,but seems to have stopped now :) I don't know how long it will take for my body to regulate now?Will I be in a fertile position now and back to normal periods (it's been years) or not?

    Hi Sarare,

    When coming off the pill your fertility can return to normal straight away. However it can also take quite a while for your cycles to settle down.

    There are quite a few people on here who use OPKs the most popular seem to be from Amazon. QQ posted a link a few pages back.

    If you have just come off the pill it may be best to get to know your cycle and body without the added pressure OPKs and temping can bring.

    Well said :T

    I lurk on this thread quite a lot to keep up to date on how everyone is but I very rarely post as I feel unwelcome (by some posters, not the majority) since I got my BFP. Even when I got my BFP I still felt I had to justify it to some posters. Some assumed (in my opinion) because I'd only been posting a short while that I hadn't been trying long when in fact I should really have been posting on the 12months + thread as I'd been trying so long. I know how frustrating TTC can be and how emotional you can get but sometimes some posters on here are not very nice and it can put people off posting. I'm going to go back to lurking and hope to see some of you in the other pregnancy threads so we can chat. Xx

    Same here. Just after I got my BFP I read a comment from somebody abou April predictions along the lines of .... 8 and at least 6 to be long timers or previous MCs .... And I doubt that person meant it to sound so bad but to me it felt like I didn't deserve it as I got PG on second cycle TTC :( I know most of the Ladies on here would be horrified to think they had excluded people along the way, especially as so many of us who have had BFPs lurk and cheer you all on from the sidelines.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for those waiting to test and hugs to those who have had the witch visit :( xxxx

    Right ladies. Can someone a little more experienced give me some advice.

    For the last few days I have been getting what I can only describe as 'cramps'. A bit like when AF is due, but not as intense and I've not been getting that 'feeling' I associate with her appearance.
    I have also been getting a huge amount of pain in my lower abdomen when I move to fast, or roll over in bed, sneeze or just stretch a little bit further than I usually do. It feels like having cramp and I freeze and can't move. OH had to roll me back over a couple of days ago because I was in agony.
    I remember that pain from my previous pregnancies and am pretty sure it was to do with my muscles and ligaments stretching as baby got bigger. But, why would I be getting it now? And why is my right boob leaking in the mornings?

    Every pregnancy of mine has been vastly different but I don't remember getting any of the above when I've not been pregnant. Am I getting my hopes up?


    I cant see you on QQ's list - what cd are you on ?


    anyway, just wanted to share my experience, I have/had cramps in the middle of my cycle which lasts for the day and is the same as period cramps,

    on months when I've fallen pregnant I had the usual cramps and then a day or 2 later a pinching slightly more painful cramp,

    You will never know until you get that bfp, so its not something I would get excited by nor disappointed by - keep us updated :D

    I've realised I forgot to say that I am very sorry to see MrsHappy go. That must have been a very hard decision. (((hugs)))

    My friend who had a missed miscarriage the other month told me today she is PG again straight away without having had a period. I managed not to cry when she told me this time! And actually although I'm not honestly jumping up and down happy for her I'm not out and out jealous either, which I think is the best I can do right now, having been trying now for over a year for a second child.

    Thank you for this! As for the CD - I'm still trying to work what all the abbreviations mean. My period started on March 20th and cycles are 31 days. So I'm expecting AF on 19th April. I guess that puts me CD23? (of 31?). I don't know when (or if) I OV'ed.
    I had a really bad shooting pain just before - I was in the kitchen and ended up having to squat down because the pain was that bad. Only lasted for 30 seconds though.

    I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR EVERYONE AND CHRISTMAS BABIES THIS MONTH! !
