    The thread has not finished though. It is still one of the top threads. If it's not broken, don't fix it. You have people jumping on the popular thread band wagon now, and it is just forum junk because thread 11 is still fit for purpose.

    We've only started a new one because the person who created the previous thread is heavily pregnant and soon won't have time to edit the first post for all us still TTC when she has a little one occupying her time.

    Apologies if this has annoyed you but we felt it was necessary.

    I agree with most of what you said but someone should close the other thread first. It's just cluttering the board up with the same style of threads. You can see why it irked me seeing 3 of the same style of thread on page 1.

    Fair enough, I have left the link to this new thread on the old one so hopefully it will get buried soon enough anyway. Obviously in the first few posts on a new thread there will be some crossover which will die down soon enough.

    Does it not irk you seeing 3 different kinds of pregnancy thread and a newborn thread?

    Exactly. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and really don't feel like having to keep up with the first page any longer, plus I didn't really feel that it was my place to do so any longer. Anyway, you can put in a request to an admin to close the old thread, just be sure you get them to close the correct one!

    Edited: just pm'd an admin to see if they could close the old one so that it will still be available to read, but not post on so that it will fall down the forum.

    Thanks Mrs_T_M you are a star :)

    So I'm CD32 and officially 1 day late. I'm assuming AF will make her appearance today but if she hasn't by the time I finish work I will go buy a test.

    Ordered 5 ICs off amazon last night. Didn't realise I had 44p left on a gift card so they were 96p! bargain!

    Oooooh shiny new thread! I'm on CD3 today :-( and have been TTC since 9-14

    This year is totally gonna be our year, I can just feel it :-) Was talking to one of my best girliefriends yesterday about the future, let slip that we are planning on having a family 'at some point' but I think it's freakin obvious that we're TTC, I just don't like talking to people about it :-) EXCEPT YOU GUYS OBVS ;-D
  • Thanks for starting the new thread Lulu...

    Weird ov pains here today, too early this cycle surely?!!? Day 16-18 was looking "normal" for me, temps are higher than usual too... still it's only cycle 2 of temping, so maybe it needs a little longer to establish a pattern.

    Babydust to all xx

    sorry to hear about AF dotty :(

    I have a small group of friends that know we are TTC. Out of the 4 that know 3 of them are pregnant! I had a big drunken NYE cry to OH about it when we got home, so 2015 is our year too :)

    I would assume, cherry, that it'd take longer to establish a pattern. I won't be temping unless I've not caught by April. fingers crossed for you xx

    Thanks Lulu, I'm actually not too bummed about AF, as I knew last month was a bust (with illness and social events totally getting in the way). But OH and I had a really good talk about things just after christmas, and I'm much more hopeful about this month, hence AF just means the start of the cycle :-D

    Also, I got a bit freaked out when I was reading the front page and saw everyone's ages, and then I saw yours and was less freaked out :-) (I'm 24 and feel plenty mature enough for kids, but I know many people who wouldn't think that possible either)
