Hi girls

I'm on day 9 of month 7 ttc and seem to have read that lots of people have been ttc for about the same amount of time.

How are you all feeling?

I suppose I just hoped it would have happened for us sooner than this, but then the average isn't far off where we all are now, so perhaps we'll all have lovely news for Christmas?! I'm 35 in a couple of weeks

( so I'm hoping the BFP is sooner rather than later.

Has anyone tried anything different so far - reflexology, acupuncture, seeing the doctor? I'm thinking of doing all three so be interested to hear any thoughts!

Hi Daisy - I'm on day 4/month 6 now. Been feeling wretched since fri when af arrived and just feeling so defeated now and convinced there is something wrong. My cycle still hasn't regulated itself and i've been off the pill for 5 months, i'm driving myself crazy with it all.

Actually made a doc's appt this morning - my first appt in years!!

I know that most couples will conceive in about a year but I just feel deep down that there is a reason this isn't happening for us so I want to get checked out.

This is your first time ttc isn't it? How are you feeling about it?

Hi girls

Woomummy - I do sympathise with your hubby being away. Doesn't make ttc any easier does it?! Hb and I won't see each other for 3 days this week but hoping I'll be ov over next weekend or early the following week. Fingers crossed.

abbyc - I'm so sorry to hear this month has been so awful. No wonder really since you were so late, it must have really messed with your head.

Yes, this is our first time ttc so no idea if we can or not. I think that's the hardest part, if we knew all was well we'd happily just keep trying but there's always that niggle that there's something wrong isn't there?

I really vary in my mood, at times I'm full of optimism and think it will be any time now, but I do have other times when I feel quite bleak and as if it's never going to happen (particularly on day one!).

Like you I've decided to take some control back. Am going to the dctors either this week or next week and my sister has been working like mad to find me an acupuncturist and has also given me details of a holistic therapist who helped her during her pregnancy. So basically going to throw everything at it so that I have some chance of having a baby before my friends start to become grandparents!!

When is your doctors appointment? Are you feeling ok about it? I was on the pill for quite a while too, so I do wonder if that is affecting my fertility.

Hi Daisy, as you know I'm day 9 of month 7 too. Though the first month was just a practice try whilst on Honeymoon as didn't have a clue about ovulation etc back then so think we totally missed it. I'm only 27 so doc won't help me yet but we bought a home fertility test and hubby's result was good so that has put my mind at ease a lot. Bought it too late in this cycle to do mine (had to take it on day 4) but hopefully won't be able to do it next month either as I will be pregnant by then! (being positive today!!) Got PreSeed to try this month and still doing fertility monitor and ov sticks but more relaxed about it this time. I was seriously thinking about acupuncture too. Think you have to have it just before ovulation or am I wrong there? If so I'd have to go this week so think that's out for this month. Would be interested hearing about others experiences of it. xxxx

I think it is all about control - whether its home fertility tests, or ov kits or doctors tests... I'm with you Daisy - if I knew there was nothing wrong then I would happily BD till the cows came home without a care in the world but that little niggle that has always been there is just getting bigger and bigger

Mrs Jules I am 27 too so I know time is on my side but I figure that since I've been working since I was 18, paid all my taxes and have never asked for anything then they can bleeding well (haha geddit) give me some initial tests to make sure on the surface all appears to be ok. I need my mind put at rest.

I was on the pill for about 8 years and off it now for 5 months but my cycles are just a nightmare - beween 33 -40 days and I get such awful period pains and really heavy bleeding. Ugh. The joys of womanhood.

You both sound like you are taking really positive steps this month and I SO hope you get your BFP's!

I've just called the surgery and made an appt for weds evening after work...

Abbyc, please will you let us know how you get on? Hope it goes well.

Jess, fingers crossed that last month was just a one off and things will get back to 'normal' again this time round.

Baby dust to everyone xxxxx

Hi All,
well im on day 7, of month 6 (i think - started ttc in May).....
Im finding it really hard as my DH has a daugther from a previous relationship...who was apparently a mistake. i just find it so hard to believe anyone can accidentialy fall pg when theres so many of us been trying for so long with no luck. how can you be on the pill and still get pg (and im sorry if theres people thats happened to - just ignore me im feeling bitter!) but anyway certainly looks like if there are any problems that they're well and truely mine.
think id find it easier if we saw a little more of DH daugther, but although we have afternoon visits we arent allowed to have her over night, or take her away, and im not allowed to go to xmas plays or anything like that....just hurts when you give so much up and yet cant get anything back....
anyway as you can see im full of hope and optimism today. have bought some ov sticks for the first time this month, figure if i do have to go to the drs about this in a few months time i might as well have some idea if i think im actually ov'ing....
babydust to all, and heaps of positive thinking......*off to drown sorrows*

Oh wilko hun you sound like I did on Friday - I just wanted to crawl somewhere dark where no-one could find me and just wallow in misery (sounds ott but thats genuinely how I felt) I'm sorry you are having a bad day hun, i've been a nightmare since fri when I came on - crying one minute and insanely positive and happy the next - i'm on a total hormonal rollercoaster lol.

Chin up duck - we will all be fine and i'm sure that there is nothing wrong that can't be fixed or helped should it be necessary. I'm off to the docs on weds (sorry but i'm not sitting around anymore I need some reasurance and answers!) I hope the ov sticks work for you.

i'm sending you a HUUUAGE hug and a massive tub of babydust - keep positive xxx

Well ladies I am on day 24 of month 13!!!! maybe it will be 13 lucky for some, but no early symptoms for me at all so not holding any hope this month! My Hb works away lots so prob not been able to ttc at the right time each month - cant help but worry though.

It amazes me how people accidently fall pregnant - how do they do it!!!!!!!!?

Good luck & babydust to you all xxxx

well its a new day and im feeling a little more positive - phew!

was just wondering what everyone else who has been trying for a similar amount of time has actually being doing to get pg (other than the obvious!!)

im just about to start ov sticks for the first month, has anyone else tried these.... im worried about it getting a bit clinical, but i'd really like to know if im actually ov'ing!!

also been reading on another thread about lying (with legs in air) for 30 mins after the deed! i must be honest i might lie there for 5 mins but thats it......does that really help????

my dh will be wetting himself if i start lying with my legs in the air for half an hour - lol!!

anyway i guess im saying im moving away from the well we'll see what happens to actually trying to plan things a little more....just hope that doesnt get my hopes up too much next month.

good luck to all, and tons of babydust xx

Wilko, really recommend keep you bum up on a pillow for 30-45 minutes, my DH gets me a book to read, yes you may feel like a bit of a dill, but definitely worth a shot!!! Actually this month I have been reading "Up the Duff" by Kaz Cooke, brilliant book quite a bit of humor and good information about Pregnancy, week by week, it is by and Australian Author! Day 29/28 testing tomorrow.
Love, Bums Up and Baby Dust!!!!! xxxx

I think I may try the legs in air thing, and bum on pillow. lol One must try all these things. I don't i'm so carefree about it this month, my mother seems to be the one getting frantic, (not grandbabies yet, all her friends are grandma's or grandma's to be, me thinks it's a bit too much for her lol! I think she should enjoy her freedom!!

Wilko, I used the clearblue fertility monitor for the first time this cycle and it told me exactly when I was ovulating which I found such a help, I've been so much more relaxed this month which has to be good! Good luck everyone xxxx

Wow - I can't believe how many of us there are on month 6/7. Doesn't it make you all feel better?! I do have moments when I wonder if anything is wrong, but with so many of us about the same it's really reassuring. Just means it will be all the more sweet when we finally get that BFP!!

MrsJules - Great news about your hb's tests. Did you get them from Access Diagnostics? Be interested to see what you think about the preseed too - had wondered about it myself.

Really hoping for a BFP this month for everyone and abbyc and Jess17 I so hope your cycles settle down and aren't mean to you like last month.

Wilko - good to see you sound a bit better. It's horrid having those down days. I'd definitely go for the bum in the air thing (though I think they recommend slightly raised rather than legs up the wall, otherwise all the little swimmers just get stuck in a pool!). I think ov sticks are a really good thing too - have to say I've felt more relaxed since using them, as at least you have an idea that you are ov and you're not worrying about missing it.

My sister has given me details of an acupunctuist [sp?] and a holistic therapist, so may well get on to them while my hb is away to get myself in tip top condition for when I visit him! The holistic therapist does abdominal massage and says that at the end of the treatment she'll teach me how to do a simple version of the massage on myself daily (5 mins) that supports the work as this is the thing that makes the most difference to pelvic health and chances of concieveing. All sounds good to me!

P.S. Know just what you mean LMSunshine about people falling pregnant by mistake - if only!!!

Hi, im new here, but glad to here there are other people out there thinking/feeling the same as me.

I have been ttc for 4 months, thought it would happen no problem within a month of coming of the pill. Im 26 and thought it would be easy. Never thought of it as christmas present always thought it would be on holiday baby after coming back from Turkey in September, wasn't to be.

nice to see other peoples views.
