I too think the charting definately helped us. Before we were pretty much flying blind. After only our first month charting (3rd month trying) I got my BFP.

Its definately worth it, I also used OPKs and they were great. I wasn't a big fan on checking my cervix so just kept with the OPKs and observing fluid.]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:36:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861462&title=newbie#861462 <![CDATA[Newbie : Yeah having a long cycle isn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861378&title=newbie#861378 Author: TwinnyBump

Yeah having a long cycle isn't much fun. Have you thought about charting? This is my second cycle charting and Im finding it really interesting, don't know if we are getting the timing right but we are giving it a good go have you tryed OPKs? I don't know how obsessed you are I forgot to say this is our 4th cycle TTC after a mc so its not that im just super inpatient I've been thought this before ]]> Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:51:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861378&title=newbie#861378 <![CDATA[Newbie : Hi wantabub, I am working on a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861049&title=newbie#861049 Author: snugglebug

Hi wantabub, I am working on a 40 day cycle at the moment but in saying that it has been between 35 and 40 days before, it's never exactly the same so it makes life really difficult. It is so annoying having to wait that long between cycles and hard to know if I'm ever getting the timing right. We started in June/July also ]]> Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:20:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861049&title=newbie#861049 <![CDATA[Newbie : Lisaa how long is your cycle if...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=861027&title=newbie#861027 Author: TwinnyBump

Lisaa how long is your cycle if you don't mind me asking? Mine at the moment seems to be around 38 days and that feels like ages .... We're on our 4th cycle TTC and I think we started in July .

Oh wow Jane that sounds soooooo promising. Are you just the 2 days late for AF? Remember it could possibly still be a bit too early for testing.

My fingers are crossed for you tho. Looking forward to checking back later on and seeing your result. Remember your FMU is the best for detecting results tho. Make sure you don't drink too much before doing it at lunch time!!!!

ok guys, having a wee freakout this morning...AF is late, and I checked back and she's never late, she's been bang on 28 days...so took a quick card HPT last night and it was weakly positive, tried not to get too excited coz i was worried that i had left it longer than 5 minutes... so i took one this morning and timed it perfectly, same result, so then i took the last one in the packet, and theres a really faint second line.... really don't want to get too excited, coz my body still feels like AF is coming!

Plan for today - get a different brand HPT and take it at lunch time at work, otherwise i won't be able to stop thinking about it all day!! eeeeee ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:39:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=845343&title=newbie#845343 <![CDATA[Newbie : lol, yay! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=843413&title=newbie#843413 Author: JaneS

go to either fertility friend, or lilypie etc and just start building one. they are very easy to make, and then you just have to copy and paste the url into your signature which you will find in your profile (top right of the page).

Hi everyone!

Its so exciting to be on here. As you say Sophie, after 10 years of trying not to concieve, finally here we are TTC!

I'm 28, DH 29 and we're trying for our first. We're not telling anyone that we're TTC, coz it will be the first grandchild/niece/nephew on my side of the family, and I don't think they would be able to help asking how we were going all the time! Going to just wait till it happens then surprise them all and let the insanity ensue!

We're into our second month of TTC, AF is due on friday and she's usually pretty regular, so FX! Will be great to get to know everyone on here, everyone seems so nice and supportive, a great group!!

ps, how do i get a ticker thingy?

opps I think I am still a 'newbie'...hehe must get posting more!

I am currently waiting for AF to arrive. Unfortunately I have never been very good at keeping track of my cycle at the best of times so now I have no idea?? Came off the pill 2 months ago so I'm assuming it could be pretty up and down for a while...

Haven't started charting yet (although I must admit I have read all about it lately ) so will have to wait until next month to start...maybe

Hope everyone else is going well! We are off to Toast Martinbourgh tomorrow with a hole lot of friends so I'm hoping for a nice day!]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:26:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=838446&title=newbie#838446 <![CDATA[Newbie : Sometimes I just don&#039;t bother...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=838217&title=newbie#838217 Author: lostAmber

Hi all

Another absolute newbie here as well! My husband and I have just started trying for our 1st! we are into our second month now. Much like you guys we are just taking it as it comes for the next few months and seeing what happens.

It's weird...I alternate between being super super excited and then nervous given I have spent all of the last 10 years trying to avoid it ...kinda freaks me out occasionally :-)

Anyway...just thought I would introduce myself seeing as i have just read all of the posts :-)]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:34:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=830417&title=newbie#830417 <![CDATA[Newbie : I think I will tell only our nearest...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=830331&title=newbie#830331 Author: BabyNo2Time

I think I will tell only our nearest and dearest when we conceive, as firstly I'll find it hard to keep secret and would be nice to have that support there if anything goes wrong. I am also guessing that when it happens it will be quite hard to keep from friends as DH & are are quite social and if I all of a sudden stop drinking everyone will guess. I never (touch wood) get sick so using an excuse of anti biotics probably won't work for me. And of course now we are coming into summer and xmas, its the peak time for drinkies, parties & bbqs!!

I know that I will tell a select group of people as soon as I find out, because i'm just like that, and would actually prefer to go through another m/c with the support of others as opposed to doing it alone.

How does DH feel when you don't get a +HPT, (I felt like saying how to I feel??? ) I just don't need the pressure, I just don't think she understands what we are going through.... Its really not easy aye. I feel like just telling her to PO, but I know shes just excited that we are TTC, I know she really want to be an Aunty.

Hi Ladies

Im new to this site so thought I would introduce myself.

Im (26) and DH (30) and we are on cycle 3 TTC #1. We did conceive last year after some months of not trying but not preventing. Unfortunately it ended in a mc at 11weeks with a blighted ovum. Im hoping that this month will be our month!!!! I think Im 10DPO, tested last Friday which may have been to early and got a BFN so just waiting to see if AF turns up or not. I hate seeing that single line on its own so don't want to test again until Friday if AF hasn't showed up by then.

Look forward to chatting with everyone and sharing our TTC journeys together.

Lots of baby dust to all...

Hi everyone,

I'm new here!
Been trying for baby no. 2 for 4 months now (it took me 5 months with DS).
I've been trying to be very relaxed about it all and try not to think about it so much (easier said than done!) But four months of being "relaxed" hasn't helped so i thought I'd join up here and then at least i'll have other people that are TTC to speak to!

I'm currently in day 29 of a 28-30 day cycle and i'm possibly thinking about testing tomorrow, not sure if i can face it though, last month i was convinced i was and then i got a BFN which really got me down.

Anyway hows everyone getting on??

Thanks 1st time

Yeah its funny, I came into this the same way, wanting a baby but not desperate as I am also studying and have a new career to look forward to as well.

But once you start trying and go through a few months you start to realise how much you really do want it... it's weird. Im not good at waiting for anything. We have been trying for 4 months so I have no reason to be worried but I do get so upset every time I get a negative which is why I held off. I can't imagine it ever being positive, which is silly, but its so hard to imagine.

Just got to keep trying I guess, you're right no one ever tells you how hard it is ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:04:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=821679&title=newbie#821679 <![CDATA[Newbie : Chin up Lisa.

Chin up Lisa. Sorry to hear about the BFN, but I guess until AF shows up you're totally not without hope surely...

Noone ever told me the TTC game was full of these ups and downs. Although I am so ready for a baby, I'm not at the stage of desperation (meant in the nicest way). There are girls on here that so desperately want a baby and my heart goes out to them. To want something soooo much and to have it just not happen for ages. I can only imagine. Although that could of course be me in a few months time.

FX & TX for you Lisa.

Hi Ladies

Congrats Vicki - so pleased for you

Good luck Lisa - I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. My cycle is normally about 33 days but it's been 37 so far this month with no AF - but I know I'm not preggie Got sore boobs though so hopefully AF will come soon and then I can start again...

I just found out that not only is my husbands sister pregnant but also my brothers girlfriend is as well - two weeks apart from each other. Of course I'm happy for them but can't help but feel extremely jealous wishing it was me. My husband tried to cheer me up saying it would be our turn soon but I can't help but feel like it should have been me not them. Is that wrong of me?]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:47:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=819850&title=newbie#819850 <![CDATA[Newbie : Hehe still no AF, might test tonight...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=819416&title=newbie#819416 Author: snugglebug

Hehe still no AF, might test tonight or tomorrow. Im scared to because every other time I have in the past its been negative and Ive been so disappointed. And as I say my cycle is not that predictable, but its been 38 days now in what is normally 33-35 so yeah. I dont have any AF symptoms like I normally do but I dont have any other PG symptoms except being really tired and just feeling a bit fluttery in the stomach, but that could be any number of things so who knows.

My symptoms were so small that it is was very easy to think they related to something else. The only thing that really alerted me was that my boobs didn't get sore two weeks prior to AF. But, as you say things could be completely different for you.

Hi lisa. Usually I get the worst case of sore boobs about two weeks prior to when AF is due. This time I got nothing. But in saying that there had been the odd occasion in the past that that had happened. I also experienced some light headedness, and felt more hungry. I initially put it down to having started biking to work, but when my period didn't arrive on the 29th day (the last 3 months were bang on), I started to have an inkling. Also, on the day my period was due I did start to get sore boobs, which I thought was very unusual.

We are very happy, but I have to say it really is hard to believe. You start to doubt the result, so this morning we tested again, this time using the pg test that my doctor had given me. No doubt about it, very strong lines! I feel a lot more reassured now.

Will do Vicki. It hasn't arrived yet but I don't really know if it's late with my cycle being the way it is. I think its late lol

Did you get any symptoms? This is the first month since TTC that I don't have any 'symptoms' around this time lol I don't know if that's good or bad. Usually have the sore boobs etc and convince myself that I am. I have been really really tired and sore back, but I have been on a teaching placement for university so that could easily be the cause lol Who knows. Im going to wait until Saturday and test then if nothing happens, seems ages but every other time Ive thought my period was late it came a few days to a week later so I just want to be sure before going through that again.

You must be so happy :) ]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:58:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28961&PID=816817&title=newbie#816817 <![CDATA[Newbie : Hey thanks guys!

Oh wow Vicki that is so amazing, congratulations you must be over the moon!!! :) best of luck to you!

AF is a day late for me but my cycle varies from 33 to 35 days or so so I can never really be that sure. Going to wait a week as I had the disappointment of BFN. I am a bit nervous because I really really want a BFP but Im also going for a job and while I know I want a baby more, the job would be great too and probably better for us right now financially so yeah very torn. But we'll see what happens!
