Hi girls, Yes, I agree, 3cubs - its bound to be your turn soon. crazy that our little ones are nearing the one year mark. definately time for another baby! well girls, i am officially obsessed. i have just about every IPS ever conceived... every hiccup is a sign that i am bloody pregnant! this 2WW has got the better of me  . i have even found myself reading websites like twoweekwait.com which is not helping my cause- those women have everything from a sore knee to a runny nose - all apparently sure signs. tomorrow will be 6 days dpo and have bargained with myself not to test till friday - barely 9 days dpo. which is kind of dumb because its so early but i am already having to control myself at the pharmacy - that test just wants to jump in my basket. so yes, i am slowly going mad  . hope you are all feeling a little more sane. hope you all have a lovely tuesday

3 Cubs, my DS is 14 months now... I got AF back in April, then another in June, then this less than a tablespoon type one about 2 weeks ago... so I can say I have been trying since April, but really not much has really happened... been obsessing about it since January!!
Sophia, I feel ya! A couple of months back I knew I O'd, so I started testing with IC from about 5 dpo, nearly everyday. Then didn't trust the IC and got some FR.... it seriously does your head in!! I think it actually did more harm than good getting the IC, so now I just get the bulk OPKs with 3 IC HPTs (even though I have used them already, I have no idea why, I am hoping for a miracle). I want to suggest you try hold out until Sunday, so that way there is a better chance you get the BFP, but I know I wouldn't be able to wait. So will be keeping an eye out.
I am bored at work so back on this forum with avengence. I feel good about this cycle, DTD every second day, eating better, joined the gym... so fingers crossed things just work for us. Ooo and we have our holiday coming up too. But I think I am repeating myself again... sorry!!
Have a good week ladies.

Good Afternoon Ladies, I hope you're all having a terrific Tuesday! Rumply - Hopefully this month is your month - I'm dreading going back to work (not until February) because I just know I'll be bored if I go back to the same job and wonder why on earth I'm putting DD into childcare to sit at a desk and be bored. Of course the answer is because they pay me, but seriously, I'd like to be doing something interesting too, or just something, too be honest! Oh well, interview tomorrow, hopefully something good will come of it! Have you O'd yet? What are you doing at the gym? I like the classes, I used to do a pump equivalent and freestyle aerobics, as well as Attack. I keep saying this, but I must get back into it. I tried some clothes on today for the interview tomorrow and it's not pretty! I also need to get the eating sorted out, it's crazy that I was eating better when I was at work and had to organise lunch the night before, now I've got all sorts of options at home and just don't think about it. Where are you going on holiday? and when? I love living vicariously through others when it comes to holidays. Sophia - 6DPO, Let the stalking begin  Tell us about your symptoms, if you're obsessing anyway it's not enabling you if we encourage, is it? Actually I agree with Rumply, you would be better off waiting a bit longer, but I'm happy to live vicariously through you in the early testing stakes too. We're going to need some new members in this buddy group if you and Rumply and 3Cubs are all planning on getting PG this month  . 3Cubs - boo to the never ending cleaning, you have your pictures done now, all ready for the auction? I hope that it's successful for you and you have an end date! How you going with finding a new house? That tooth is still lurking there, just below the surface, I guess it'll erupt one day, but it doesn't seem to be in any rush. We have been having great weather, I just hope it stays this way. Genie - How was your birthday? I think it was this weekend was it? Did you enjoy a cocktail or two? Here's to a June baby. I actually said to DH the other day that I think a winter baby's in order this time, which means that I can concieve any time now! in a couple of months I'll be saying how nice a spring baby would be  . AFM - depressingly negative on the OPK front, but hopefully things are moving with the house, we have meetings this week about kitchens, bathrooms and appliances, so just need to find somewhere to rent and then get this place demolished. Onward and onward. Assessment/interview tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Donna

hi girls... 3 cubs - hiccups are a good sign? are you serious? yes, i am pretty certain i Od at cd15 giving that it was the last of 3 - 4 days of ewcm which then came to an abrupt end on cd16. i feel for you that your cycle is still out of wack. i guess it is the breastfeeding, especially if you feed more often at times. we made the call to wean ds at 9 months to get my fertility back, and eventually dropping to 2 feeds a day did the trick. sometimes i feel bad about it though, and i was very torn for a while on whether to keep giving him the best and trying for another. by the sounds of it, now that Zara's feeding less things will sort themselves out though. i hope they do and that you start getting some shorter, less spotty cycles. Donna -  by all means!! yes, ideally i would wait to test, but what the hell, if it is negative then i will just keep testing till AF comes... somehow the testing makes things seem easier - weird! actually, i must confess, i have been cheating a bit since 6dpo and using opks as hcg test, but nothing notable to report there... but atleast it stops me from doing a real test in the meantime. hope your interview went well, and that there is a more interesting job on the horizon for you. is this the first time dd will go to daycare? do you have the feeling you might O soon? anysign of ewcm? Rumply - glad i am not the only obsessive tester around here. i have been using opks for the last few days too  , just couldn't resist and didn't want them to go to waste as they never worked in helping me to predict O. sounds like you and lucky dh are in for a good chance though with all that bding. maybe one or more of us will be leaving the forum soon? AFM - 8 dpo and itching to test. for some reason, part of me has been convinced i am pregnant since ovulation, but my rational side tells me i should not count my chickens. strange though, it could be all in my head but i feel quite similiar to the early days when i was pregnant with ds... tired, moody, hungry.... but then again, this is really nothing too unusual. i have been peeing like crazy, but i also drink a lot, and i often have sore breasts when af is approaching so that is nothing to go by either.  just need to take that bloody test so i will know either way! as i am so impatient, i would like to think i could wait till 11 dpo, but i don't think thats going to happen. so friday it is. Polly - you must be a few days past O too? do you feel you have any chance this month? Genie - are you ttcing this cycle or just laying low for a while? hi to any other  . its been pretty quiet in here lately, whats happening?? i wish you all a lovely thursday...

Sophia: Not long to test now. GL AFM: Never been so excited to see some more pink blood again. Ive been getting a fair bit of ewcm again in the last few days and dh and i were going to dtd last night but ive been so tired i said to dh maybe tomorrow night. Anyway I went to the toilet and wiped and there was all this pink blood in my cm every time I wiped and a fair bit of it. In many ways I was  and so I decided to DTD after all. Not sure again what it means but there was a fair bit again and im sure its a good sign in terms of fertility. Thought Id jump on to share. Im assuming its another light period.
