I recently lost 5 stone. (Keeping it off is another matter) and gave up smoking a year or so ago so I should be in pretty good shape.

Welcome zcrat41:wave:

Well done on losing 5 stones:T How long did it take, and how did you do it?:shocked:

Also well done on stopping smoking, I'd say you are ready to TTC!:j

hello all, just checking in, haven't had time the past couple days! I thought we were having a cycle length contest until I realised it was a guessing game...mine is 34 days which is beyond ANNOYING waiting that extra week.

welcome to any newbies & happy days to any BFPs I may have missed!

extra ((hugs)) to emsbet who's having a tough time

well done zcrat! gawd I need to lose weight and can't seem to get off my !!!! to do it! I know it would help with TTC but I keep rationalising that if I get pregnant there's no point, lol.

Ive just realised I read mine wrong.

It was 80% ovulatory, 13% miscarriage and 8% pregnancy :o:o:o

But I do remember higher pregnancy figures on last months cycle, and I'm just going to ignore it and not do any more searches (yeah right).

Honestly, if we were given babies based on the amount of google searches, forum post, SS, etc... I'd have at least 20 by now!

A friend of mine had her baby literally on the day I ovulated and I've been thinking to myself how lovely it would be if I were pg this cycle, and I could tell her that story. :o

That would be really nice.

I wouldnt worry. Mine says 37% pregnancy but Im not pregnant. So to be honest however good the number is doesnt make a blind bit of difference :rotfl:

I know, Id have hundreds of babies!

Me too. Mine has been 33 days past two cycles - although the fact it was the same number of days made me happy. Its just irritating waiting that bit longer for ovulation. However, at least it means you dont have AF so often.


Im having the opposite problem weight wise. I am naturally slim, thanks to my Dads genes I think, and this has never caused me any problems, but recently I seem to have lost weight, well over the past few months and I dont need to loose it, but whatever I do I can not put it back on.

It doesnt help that recently my ibs or something, seems to have been giving me stomach upsets and so if I manage to put a couple of pounds on, it literally comes right back off!

Im having cycles and ovulating so Im not too concerned, but like all of us on here, we all want to do everything we can to try to get pregnant, and for me I feel like i need to weigh a couple of pounds more and Id feel happier.

My DH is a personal trainer and he said seeing as I find it so easy to loose weight sitting on the couch watching telly and eating chocolate, maybe he should prescribe that as a diet to his clients!

I dont exercise at all, apart from a fair amount of walking but nothing scheduled. Im now considering doing it to put some muscle on as muscle weighs more than fat. I am just very lazy!

Apologies Ladies and Gent, for abrupt post a minute ago, I'm fuming about the dentist thing :mad:

welcome newbies, I have seen a few over the last couple of days, it's nice to have you on board, good luck with your ttc journey

Lemonmelon-I hope you are doing okay, what a horrible time you are having just now

whowants2brich-it's good to have a bloke perspective as well, so hello to you

I've not had much to say for the last few days, so haven't posted much, my PMA has gone a bit flat just now and I think I'm starting to get worried about mrhappys SA coming up, I know he will be gutted if it's not a good result. I think he felt a bit pants when my bloods came back okay last week, he had a wee sad face and commented on all my bits working fine. I felt quite sorry for him, and he wasn't convinced when I told him all that meant was that I had ov'd last month and nothing else. Also cos I have The Teenager he occasionally comments about how I have done it before and there must be something wrong with him. There is no telling him that we have only been at it for 6 months and it's early days.

So much for starting off taking a relaxed if it happens it happens attitude, I am totally obsessed. When we first started ttc I thought it would be as easy as it was the last time, not really thinking that was 15 years ago!

Anyway, that's enough of my whingefest, sorry

5 stone! Well done you!! Good luck with it! And welcome to the mad house lol. You don't have to be mad to join in but it does help ... and if your not now you will be by the time you leave :rotfl:

Hello!

I'm venturing onto this thread for the first time and I feel very excited and very nervous.

I've only read a few pages but it sounds like there can be a lot of ups and downs on the way. There are some tough stories out there and I wish those ladies the best.

OH and I got married in June and we agreed I can come off the pill in Nov with a view to start trying properly come Xmas. In my head I'm trying now though! I'm 31 in Feb and OH is 35 in Nov so I reckon its a good idea to to get on with it. I've been on folic acid for a 2.5 months and I recently lost 5 stone. (Keeping it off is another matter) and gave up smoking a year or so ago so I should be in pretty good shape.

There's a lot of lingo to learn if nothing else!

I hope to get to know some of you on here!

Thanks! It took about 6 months to lose 4 stone then about another 4 months to lose the last stone (inspired by my wedding for the last stone!) of which I have put a wee bit back on. I did WW and would rate them highly. Although it did help that I gave up a job working in a bakery and started working on a farm!!

Hi, no hope of catching up, you all talk loads and my little phone screen can't keep up.

QUESTION:

Has anyone used T*sco own brand ov sticks? I got them this month and wondering if I got a dodgy batch, that or my perfect cycle is playing up! Am still getting +ves, though today, both lines were slightly paper (testing at 10am and 10pm) so that's 4 days in a row! This happen to anyone else?!?

I had ewcm Sunday and Monday (cd10 ish) and nothing really since. Checked internally today (cd 14) and got some blood streaks, bright red, which I've never had before, mixed with some ew ish cm. I guess I may have just bumped my cervix and annoyed it a bit. Slightly crampy tonight, not the usual sharp 1 sided pain i usually get with ov.

I'm all confused! Not holding out much hope this month, only managed to be 2x, Sunday and Tuesday - Mr ET has been working too hard and falling asleep too early! Bit fragile this week too, been on the edge of tears for silly things a lot - clearly overly hormonal or something!

morocha

right, i am out this month. Also i havent mentioned that my Oh nans had a heart attack 1 weeks ago ( exactly when i was OV), so it is really not a good time, Oh is depressed.

Great, last month was a messed up with the pills and this month a no no, because OH can not make his mind up and my OV day has passed... See you again in November... Which should be my first month Properly trying to get pregnant...
I had a 3 months old baby with me for 2 hs today, i was helping my friend out, i so want another one now, i hope by the time OV comes next month Oh is ready to perfom, of course im not telling him the date... heheh.. dont want last minute talks then he asking me if i want a baby and to do it without condoms when i am not OV and not fertile at all.
