over 4 years ago Shelley, it was very unplanned and I didn't find out till I was losing the baby. Was shocking to find out that I was pregnant, then devestating to find out I was losing the baby.

LOL at planned and unplanned - Maya was very definitely unplanned! Bugged the hell out of me that I fell pregnant with her just by looking at Willie, but then when we actually WANTED to get preg it just wouldn't happen!

I don't know what the secret was this month - we didn't have sex on ovulation day as that was the day my friend lost her little boy to SIDS, so we were sooooo not in the mood. Must have been the day before that did the trick

Simonne - OPK's are Ovulation Predictor thingies - they work similar to a pregnancy test in that you wee on them and they have 2 lines, if the lines are the same color you are going to ovulate within the next 24 or so hours (they pick up a hormone called luteinizing hormone). EWCM is egg white cervical mucus - the most fertile kind of fluid that you get around ovulation time.

Hope that helps!]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 13:14:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31850&title=is-it-just-me#31850 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31837&title=is-it-just-me#31837 Author: Guests

Emma - I hope your scan went ok yesterday, I've been thinking of you and hoping all is well.

I might try OPKs (whatever they are) next month, if things don't work. *whispering* Forgive me for being dense ...but what is EWCM?

I might try some of your determination next month too Jezsika ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 10:04:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31816&title=is-it-just-me#31816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31792&title=is-it-just-me#31792 Author: Guests

I know what you mean! It is quite frustrating, especially when you hear of people falling pregnant by accident all around you. I am sure I read somewhere that you only have a 25% chance of conceiving and the baby sticking, the odds are not in our favour, but by that logic also, I figure it should happen after 4 months ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 08:06:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31777&title=is-it-just-me#31777 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31775&title=is-it-just-me#31775 Author: Simonne

Hi Sarah

I started temp taking this month. Everything looks about as it should. I haven't been monitoring cervical fluid yet - might start that next month. But, the way my temps look this month, and the fact that AF is pretty regular (to within a couple of days), it suggests that I am definitely ovulating, so who knows? Must just be the timing! I must say though, that if I hear "it'll happen when it happens" once more, there will be murder committed ]]> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 07:52:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31775&title=is-it-just-me#31775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31680&title=is-it-just-me#31680 Author: Sarah Beth

I am with you Simmone, but we have only been trying for one unsuccessful month. I was so disheartened when AF arrived (not to mention it was on our wedding anniversary) so I can only imagine how you are feeling 9 months down the track. Have you started temp taking or O testing?]]> Tue, 07 Mar 2006 16:01:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31680&title=is-it-just-me#31680 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31616&title=is-it-just-me#31616 Author: newmum

Yes i agree with the pregnancy dragging bit.

Hi Bonz !!

I know EXACTLY what you mean ...I am in the middle of cycle 9 since coming off the pill (TTC No. 1). I am trying to be relaxed and trying not to be negative. I keep saying to my husband "if we get pregnant" and he just looks at me and says "when". I feel a bit resigned to getting my period each month, but I still get hopeful, and then disappointed. The other thing is, when you're TTC, there seems to be babies and pregnant women EVERYWHERE! Damn hormones :-)

(BTW - Good luck Emma. I have fingers crossed for you) ]]> Tue, 07 Mar 2006 11:18:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31578&title=is-it-just-me#31578 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1701&PID=31576&title=is-it-just-me#31576 Author: caraMel

5w6d. But I ended up in the hospital with some bad cramps yesterday so they have moved the scan forward to today at 1pm.
