Default some more newbies

hey all,
we have been reading posts in here for the past few months and thought "why don't we just join?", so here we are.
Here is a little bio on us,we have been together for 6 years this year and have been thinking of adding a little one/ones to our family for over 12 months now. We began our first round of TTC last month which resulted in a and we are currently on day 11 of our second cycle, fingers crossed for this one .
We look forward to chatting to you all.

I know that feeling!!!! It's day 6 for us and it feels like eternity! And then there's that thing where the closest you get to "the day" the slower time passes... ahhh!

Nats - I hope your egg and spermies met, and got invited in for more than coffee .

The more we try and distract ourselves and not think about it, the more we think about it!!! I guess it's just the feeling, and the over scrutinizing every single little thing that your body does (in my case, what my girl's body does) that just drives you almost insane.

This is our second TWW and we are so hoping it is our last. I have no idea how Leasha and Shel went through it 4 times and if i read correctly are planning to do it all over again. When you want something so badly, you do what you gotta do I guess.

Leasha - if you don't mind me asking, who is going to be the oven for your next little bun, you or Shel?

Hehe yep you're right, it really does drive you insane when you think that every little thing might be a symptom! So annoying!! Well af came for me today, but I'm not really surprised, so I'm just hoping next month is the one! Sending lots of good luck your way!

Thanks Cath and Denise, we are hanging in there...just.

Sorry to hear that your latest cycle didn't wanna play the game Kat, hope your next one is the one, we will be keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Hey Nats, how are you both doing? Should be just about time for you now, the wait is almost over,so close, yet so far.

Wednesday is the day for us, and we can't wait!!!!!

Wishing everybody sanity and luck
