hi ladies i hope nobody pipped me to the post on creating a brand spanking new thread let try our best to have a full head count of BFPs this thread theres a big table full of cakes and biccies and a pot of tea ready for the taking help yourselves and get comfy in the layzee boy recliners i have shifted over from our last thread il go and get the list wont be long xx ei xx
ei Good luck for testing from me too hun, everythings crossed (and it's getting uncomfortable!) Mollie uncrosses arms to allow her to have a big cake and a cup of tea!
Well I did make some low GI Flapjacks this morning. They were are delicious I think I might have a couple left if you can beat me to them
I was looking for my name at the bottom of the list, I forgot I'm near the top now
3 more sleeps till my dreaded HSG scan. I'm hoping it's one of those things where people tell you it really hurts but it actually doesn't I don't suppose anyone in here has had one? I wonder if they'll be able to tell me straight away how everything is . Or what if they tell me my tubes are full of cr*p I'm not cure I'll be able to take that kind of news I'm not expecting bad news because I've had a DC already. Tried to get my Blood test results this morning but fertility clinic was closed
Oh Ei best of luck for the test tomorrow! I really wanna chat to you later but I'd better not go near the laptop while DP about. I'll have to watch TV with him instead (booooooorrrrring!) Oh I really hope your AF stays away! I'm sending you lots of +++++++++Vibes++++++++++ Do you promise to test nice and early and come and tell us nice and early too?
fruity i was just thinkin bout you!! thinkin i havent seen you around on msn for a few days just slip your DP some night nurse and he will sleep like my DH doesmy DH sleeps unaided tho so i am not in immediate need of sleep inducing substances unless they are for me i am all of a sudden wide awake late at nighti didnt drop off til 4am this mornin!! i did manage my minimum of 3 hours undisturbed sleep before temping though so not to worry i hope you manage to sneak some msn time in!! i have missed you hunny bunch DH keeps thinking he is on a promise as thats usually the only time i sit still near him for more than 30 mins at a time xx ei xx
Well, as I cooked last night, maybe DP will tonight so I could squeeze in some MSN/MN time while he's pottering in the kitchen I'll try my best! I feel like we havn't had a proper chat for ages - actually it was (an alcohol and choc induced) sat night!
haha yes i seem to recall i was the only sober one of the bunch!! i hope you manage to get online but if not i will chat tomorrow if you are about then xx ei xx
<<Jaamy pops in to have a look at new thread but sees that everyone is eating cake and flapjacks. No good for her diet but very May pop back when cake or willpower gone (whichever happens first) >>
Havnt been on for ages as ive been in Portugal, and then I returned to a broken computer!
Congratulations on all the BFP's have been lots and lots, sending lots of sticky vibes
Good Luck to all those testing, and also to all those who are busy BDing.
1 little princess whispers......"Pssst You may have noticed I am now on CD35" Tested on Sat and got very faint line on HPT.... then got AF symptoms so wondred if id imagined the line ..... Tested again this evening and there is a much darker line . Still have achy back, and dull tummy ache like af is on its way, but crossing fingers that its just beany getting comfortable.
Just popping in to make sure all the biccies are gone. See fruity and Tink have taken up the lazyboys so will leave as can't get comfy on floor (and have work to do...booh!)
But not before I wish a very hefty CONGRATULATIONS to 1LittlePrincess. Hope that your bean is settling nicely into its very own Lazyboy for the next 8 or 9 months.
tink - I see you have been busy! Hope it's productive BD, but if not, still fun, eh?
Im ok thanks tink had to go for a blood test yesterday to see if theres enough hcg to do a scan coz theyre worried bean is ectopic coz of pains ive been getting. Waiting for results but pains seem much less so really hoping its nothing. How are you?
1LitlePrincess Congratulations!! What lovely news to return to MN with! Chuck some of your baby dust our way x BSS Good luck with results, hoping everything will work out for you
hi bss glad that you are well good that cramps have gone good luck for results i am great thanks cd 11 so quite exciting really exciting taking temps 2 and bding lots
Morning all ei, how are you, you testing soon? Congrats 1littleprincess, here's to a sticky bean, & bss, hope all goes all with the scan, good luck xx Don't know what's going on with me, according to FF yesterday, i was 10DPO & should test in next couple of days. I had cramps 2 days ago & thought AF was coming, but they've since gone, and am still feeling nauseous & thirsty. However, when i logged in today's temp & CM, they shifted my ovulation day to 3 days ago ? Has that happened to anyone else.? Am on cd 28/29, and if FF correct, i could expect AF in another 10+ days, which would mean a longer cycle than i've ever had before. It would also mean we've completely missed the boat re BDing . My temperature is all over the place because i'm not the most restful of sleepers. Am confused now.... <<<<<<<<CC gives a fed up wave to everyone & runs away for comforting muffin. Anyone want one??>>>>>>>>
Congratulations 1LittlePrincess and good luck bss.
Second stick done for Clearblue monitor. My BF says he's on high alert!
Caspercat - I am getting the same shift in temperatures. i find taking my temp as soon as I wake near on impossible as I wake before the alarm and it takes me ages to actually realise I'm awake. Yesterday my temp went right down to 35.3 and then today up to 36.2. I'm sure I am doing it wrong.
morning ladies 1littleprincess congrats on your BFP BSS sorry you are having pains and good luck for the scan i hope it is you little bean cosying down for the long haul CC il have one of those comforting muffins please i did a test and it was BFN so it looks like im on my way to cycle 6 i had really gotten my hopes up despite trying not to as everything looked so positive and not i feel so sad im not going to test again til friday if AF doesnt beat me there first but i think she will be here by tomorrow night <<<<<<<ei waves to everyone>>>>>>>> xx ei xx
thanx mollie i know im being silly getting excited aboput it every cycle but it feels worse this time around as everything looked so good with my temps etc il just have to wait and see now i suppose xx ei xx
ei, so sorry for BFN, but i second what mm says about TEW. I hate this bit, this horrible wait. I too will be testing on Fri unless AF beats me to it. Let's hope we both get some good news. I'm switching between talking myself out of any positive signs i might feel, and bigging them up! Am weepy as all hell at the mo, and of course that could be PMT or PG aswell! Wish i hadn't bothered with FF at the mo, it got my hopes up, then dashed them . If you have a minute, have a look at my updated chart on our previous thread, and tell me what you think. They've shifted my ovulation day! (sorry not able do link again, dh did it for me last time) xxxxxxCCxxxxxxxx
Oh Ei it really did look good. I was sooo excited for you. I really hope TEW stays away. It's so hard not to get excited. Look at me getting excited when there was no hope in hell of me getting a BFP. We all pay so much attention to all the signs that we involuntarily get our hopes up. It doesnt matter how much we convince ourselves otherwise, it will always be a huge disappointment. Still, as Mollie says "it's not over till the fat red witch sings!" Chin up hun
thanx CC and fruity i am just waiting for AF to come now and i have still got cramps so she will be here soon i think ah well at least i know a bit more about my cycle now and i will hopefully know what to expect next cycle i feel a bit better now after havin a moan to you lot so thanx xx ei xx
CC's chart i have brought it over here for you CC so we can nose at it looks a bit odd to me that it has moved your Ov how do you take your temp? do you do it orally? xx ei xx
Thanks, ei, you are clever! I take my temp orally, at the same time each day. But i am a very light sleeper, have normally been awake for about 40 mins(while dh & dd both sleep soundly) before i take it, and will have woken up prob 2 to 3 times during the night. Only had EWCM once this month, which was around the time they calculated my ov the 1st time (and we BDd like crazy). Are EWCM & ovulation mutually exclusive, or can you have 1 without the other??
you can have one without the other as far as i know!! but i would go with when you think you had it and if that was around the first Ov that it had for you then go with that one i noticed you had a few 'fertile CM' days the past couple of days are you sure it was fertile CM like watery or ewcm as i thought i had watery cm the other day and it wasnt it was more milky which is classed as creamy cm i think maybe that is why FF has changed your OV day xx ei xx
whoops sorry CC i read it wrong it has no CM down on there maybe temping is not the best thing for you on its own then CC have you tried OPKs? it might be worth giving them a go alongside the temping as you need at least 3 hours of continuous sleep to get an accurate BBT and if you are not getting this every night maybe the temp isnt giving you the best impression of your cycle xx ei xx
Thanks again. I've had milky cm the last 2 days, which is what i thought i'd put into FF. What does milky cm mean then??? I did try OPKs, started on cd9, carried on til cd22, didn't get a single positive! Am obviously rubbish at this charting lark, eh?
Ei - Pooh to BFN! Really hope the evil old cow doesn't get her hands on you. You've been so positive this month, please don't let this get you down. Go and paint something to cheer you up! THen you'll have a lovely shiny (almost) new house that little ole pg you can relax in, when the BFP does happen. Good luck to you. x
CC - good luck for testing on Fri. I know exactly how you feel with the frustration of temping and OPKs. I had the same problems of an irregular cycle and never got any +ve results on OPK when TTC DD1. Ended up being referred for a laparoscopy where everything was found to be...absolutely normal. Some of us are just unpredicatable...isn't it nice to be different ! Seriously though, the FF chart calculator may just not be able to cope with your quirkiness. Chances are that you did BD on the right days and we'll all be celebrating your BFP on Friday.
BSS - sincerely hope your fears of an EP are unfounded. When do you get results back? Hope they don't make you wait too long.
Got to do a HPT tomorrow and phone results in to hospital to confirm that it is negative, then I can be discharged after CP. Seems strange taking a test that's supposed to be a BFN.
ei it is impossible not to get your hopes up, especially when charts look so good <<hugs>>
caspercat When do you think you ov? I had a quick look and would have guessed at maybe CD18 . Have you tried asking FF to discard your mad high temps on CD 6 and 8? The coverline might be lower if they are removed.
Hi all, are all the muffins gone? Hello Jaamybunny, thanks for your thoughts. Bugger that you had to go through a laparoscopy just to be told you're normal! Although i guess better that than to receive bad news. I was a month away from having same, then managed to get PG with DD naturally (after 18mths ttc). Big hugs for tomorrow, hope all ok. JollyBear, i thought i ov'd around CD18/19 - so did FF until i put in today's reading! Didn't know you could ask FF to discount readings - will try that. Meanwhile, will try to be optimistic & stick with my original feelings, which means AF v soon, or testing on Fri. Gave in today and did one of those 1st Response tests - BFN , but was expecting that. Anyone used an early detection test where they actually got a BFP?? Evening to everyone, hope to pop back later, anyone join me in a large glass of vino??? xxxxxCCxxxxxx
hey guys glad i found the new thread my MIL has gone so at last i can catch up with you guys EI im sorry for your BFN . im CD 9 so time to start BD again fingers crossed but not legs!!! lol
Hello everyone - having delurked a few weeks back I then relurked, and am now delurking for a second time. If that makes sense :D
CD24 for me today - and am getting into a tizzy already which is stupid. Have got some spotting for the first time- not usual for me with AF so no idea whether to think that it's a good sign or bad sign! Thinking about this far too much...
Wow lobstersLass well done to you too! congratulations!! You've done very well to conceive on your 4th cycle! , I hope you sail through this pregnancy, mine was very easy (except the birth obviously!) I absolutely loved being preg
Woooh - got a High fertility day on my clearblue monitor. Does anyone know if that's actually from reading the sticks or does the machine just start giving them to you on around day 8?
wow dressedupandnowheretogo CD100! you might get a letter from the queen! haha. I said If I got that far in my cycle I would celebrate but only got to CD96
LobsterLass Fantastic news, Congrats lovely to login in to a BFP !! Your stats are the same as mine cycle4 DC#1, it is so exciitng ! Come and join us on the Dec antenatal thread
CONGRATULATIONS lobsterlass! Enjoy your pg and your littlie when they arrive.
Well, did my poas bit this am for hospital to confirm all traces of hormone gone. Was still a bit sad to see a BFN, though. Being silly but think am more today than I was when hospital told me the ormone level had dropped
Jaamy You're not being silly. I can't imagine what it must be like. We all know how much you want a baby and it's so unfair. Sending you lots of hugs. xxxxxx (Hols was good thanks).
Thank you ladies, you are so lovely. DH and I had a chat last night and have decided that we are not going to put TTC on hold until after hol as I said I would after cp. Will just have to suffer MS in the sun if/when it happens. May even take advantage of situation and let DH do all the running around after DDs on hol.
So BD last night and over next few days (I'm fairly certain that I ov early in my cycle) and we'll see what happens...
afternoon ladies lobster!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP!!!!! excellent news jaamy its awful to see that BFN after CP/MC isnt it i had to do one for my gp in the surgery after my MC and i cried when i got it so i know exactly how you must be feeling {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} take it easy and get DH to run around after you hopefully you will get a BFP this cycle hi to everyone else my temp went up today again so hopefully im not out of the game yet i wont be doing another test til tomorrow as af is due today and i would rather wait now til i am actually late and see what happens then beanie get BDing and il keep my fingers crossed for you xx ei xx
Ei - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you, a rise in temp is a good sign! I really hope you get your BFP this cycle!
Piper are you still lurking? If so I hope all is well with you and I wish you a very uneventful pregnancy!
Hello and welcome to luckyT, my new CB!
Nothing much to report from me, CD17, trying to bury myself in work in an attempt to forget I am on the 2WW.
DH and I just booked a holiday to the Maldives right when I'll be ovulating end of May so if nothing's happening by then, I hope we might conceive our little bean over there, how cool would that be?
Congrats to all the latest BFPs and loads of baby dust to everyone! x
Beanie, is it the first month you are using a CB monitor? You can get many days of "high" reading when the monitor gets to know you. I have one which I have been using since end of last year and now that it knows me well, I tend to only get 1 or 2 high days before I get my peak days.
I should add that I have been using the monitor for a while but I was diagnosed with Asherman's in Dec so it turns out that I couldn't conceive until I had 2 ops, last one was in January. So I am only on my 2nd cycle of using the monitor when I know that I can conceive. I hope that makes sense.
I know a few people who have conceived after only a couple of months of using the monitor - one of them on the first month - so hopefully we will both get our BFPs soon!
afternoon/evening ladies time is flying mm thanks eigood luck testing in morning and well done for holding out lsq maldives sounds great good luck on 2ww
Evening all..... Congrats Lobsterlass, we've not met before, i'm a newbie, but wanted to say HI beaniesteve, have fun with all your practicing , tink too Justjaamy, glad to hear you & DH have decided to keep up the good fight! Have a fantastic holiday, hope you get spoiled rotten Hi littlesquirt, i'm on 2ww aswell - but nearing the end. Have no idea which way it's gonna go, am 12 DPO and feel neither PG or due AF. Just have to wait - good luck for yours, and am at Maldives - went there on honeymoon, it was beautiful. Finally, hi ei, my 2ww buddy. Good luck for testing tomorrow, will be sending sticky bean wishes your way. I'm gonna hold off till Sat morn i think - my temp still high, keep having fluttery feelings in my abdo, have sore boobs (which i've never noticed before AF), v thirsty and slightly nauseous BUT also been getting cramps on & off since Monday, and just don't feel PG. Hate getting my hopes up every month, feel so stupid when it doesn't work out . So shall concentrate beany vibes your way for now . Hi to everyone else who may be lurking xxxxx
hi CC i am goin to test on saturday aswell so we can test together if you want your symptoms sound like mine too so maybe we will both get BFPs!! dont lose hope yet hun xx as everyone told me when i had my strop yesterday its not over til the fat red bitch sings!! not that you are having a strop but you know what i mean xx ei xx
Hi ei, that'd be nice - good to know someone there going through same thing at same time! Only prob, will be at MIL's from tomorrow lunchtime, so won't be able to get to computer as often. But , i will let u know if TEW arrives, or result of HPT, i promise . Be back soon xxx
Just checking in - thanks for setting up the new thread Ei and good luck with your test! You too caspercat!
I'm still here a the end of the list! Fruity hi and good luck for this cycle, hope that some of the baby dust on this thread rubs off on you - it seems to be very lucky already!
Congrats to the lucky ladies who are now PG but might still be lurking here !
I started temping just to see what was going on - but the beeping of the thermometer almost caused a huuuge row with hubby so that is errr "on hold" now! .
So I'm just sitting it out till June when the doc has agreed to do some tests - and hoping AF turns up soon (I know the rest of you want to avoid TEW ...but I'd quite like a visit to re-assure me that my bod is working how I want it to! Have to say I'd never have taken the pill if I knew how much havoc it'd cause!!!)
Good luck Ei and CC - you are both doing soooo well holding off testing until tomorrow! I will be checking this thread over the weekend hoping to see news of your BFPs
Blondie & FL - totally agree with you on the pill. I really wish someone had told me that being on it for 13 years solid might cause some issues when I stopped to try to get pregnant. But then again I also wish that someone had told me that having a D&C might damage my uterus, possibly irreversibly. There really is a lot of info we should be getting that we're not and it makes me really because then how can we make the right decisions?
Hi all - sorry for butting in, was on another thread with Ei and others a while back but have been off the radar for a while. I am on CD22 Cycle 9 TTC #1 (MC July07)Need a bit of support at the mo, in my two week wait. Hope I can help others too. Sorry sound like a complete plonker but my brain is not working today. Has anyone one had really vivid dreams as a symptom of pregnancy in 2WW???? xx
Back to CD1 for me. Not sure I made it onto the list, could the next update add me on?
I'm looking at the positive side - drinks tonight, gardening in my cat-infested garden tomorrow, and more chance of my dad & stepmum being back in the country if/when we do succeed (which is v. good because they're the most well-balanced and helpful of all the parents!)
hi ladies hope you are all ok i have updated the list with shayerahol and lou on there nowshayera i havent put your cycle number or TTC# on there as i dont know it but your CD is on there sorry AF turned up for you good luck this cycle tink where are you going?? we will miss your smiles come back soon with news of your BFP wont you nowt changed here no AF high temp and BFN also so i havent got a clue what is happenin wit me CC i wont be able to get on tomorrow with any news but i will be virtually holding you hand while you test good luck hi to everyone else <<<<<<ei waves>>>>>>
Sorry, don't pop in here as much as i should... thanks for the new thread EI! Was wondering where you are today, as i hadn't "seen" you in the "symptoms" thread. Things do seem to be a bit confusing with you - high temps, no AF but no BFP.
TB2 where are you going??? Don't leave us!!! We need your happiness and positivity!
shreksmissus lovely to see you popped in here the other day! I have missed you - how are you? You must pop into the symptoms thread with us as well, although i know you want to try to avoid obsessing over things, it would be lovely to see you, and we can promise not to obsess on your behalf!!
Thanks ei - cycle 2 and ttc #1 for me. Cycle turned out to be shorter than expected so I think we missed the key days - must try harder this time around
Hi all, esp ei, testing buddy Well, i'm back at the top of the list . In typical EVIL WITCH form, she turns up tonight, 12hrs before am due to test. Is only spotting for now, but i know what it means. Was i imagining dry heaves & nausea? I must've been. Sorry to whinge & be self indulgent, but this one has hit me really hard. Everything seemed to happen as & when it should, but still it hasn't happened & i can't help but feel maybe my time has passed. Am 38, lucky to have one very beautiful dd, and maybe i should just be happy with what i've got. I try. But i want another child so bad it makes my heart ache. Will lurk for a while, but will prob refrain from posting til AF has left.
.
I think I might have a couple left if you can beat me to them 
I don't suppose anyone in here has had one? I wonder if they'll be able to tell me straight away how everything is 
I'm not cure I'll be able to take that kind of news 
i am all of a sudden wide awake late at night
May pop back when cake or willpower gone (whichever happens first) 
?
