You make me larf :)

No -next weekend I think but would like to 'see'DP on the sunday just in case I OV early - as he is coming home the following thursday so i would like to get some swimmers on board in case my body decides to hatch an early egg between monday and wednesday. I confuse myself with all these dates !

Ooooohhhhhhave changed my name in honour of christmas what do you think Xmas Grin I am hoping to get plucked and stuffed have a lovely time with DP this weekend :)

batteryhen · 01/12/2010 14:42

Honestly - I go to work for the morning and look what happens - BFPs' - injured pussy cats, and shitty RTD's also arriving.
coast what fab fab news, God I hope these bfps' are catching!
split I have a lovely cat too, very loving - hates the snow and I have to forcibly eject her out of the front door in the morning to go out. When I let her in 10 minutes later she runs in screaming abuse at me (she is very vocal) but I hate it when she is poorly.She is my furry baby, until a proper non furry one arrives!
MrsA and getdown - sorry RTD arrived, I will keep my fingers crossed that we will all get BFP's next cycle - what a week that will be!
mouse I am glad you found some peace today xx I hope you start to feel more sure about this one too and are able to tell your DH when the time is right.
Wave to ladyg - glad you have stopped temping - it just causes needless worry!!

Nothing happening here, off to see DP tomorrow. I swear if I can't get there because of the snow I will have to get angry. I will bloody ski there if I have too. Look out for a loon on the news skiing down the M11!!

spilttheteaagain · 01/12/2010 14:40

MrsA I was looking at your chart and wondering - were you ill/stressed last month? It looks a bit like your body was gearing up for ovulation around CD15-16 but then didn't do it until CD22. Or is CD22ish normal for you? Just thinking it may happen sooner this month. Hope so!
Enjoy being punctured...

GetDown your poor thing. It feels like just another kick in the teeth so hard on the heels of losing a baby. Have a gentle evening and I hope tomorrow is easier.

Oh hope your cat gets better soon spilt. Our cat, Mr Basil, is terrorised by DD as he is an old man but he has passed a little blood recently so a trip to the vets is in order here too.

Am feeling a bit more positive today. My lovely irish acupuncturist who lives at the end of a farm track is picking me up in her 4x4 at the village pub, so no worries about missing session due to snow.

Chart looking slightly more stable than last month - temps higher, which is what she wanted to see after 2 sessions of acupuncture. Hoping this means my cycle is smoother and ov doesn't take till CD25!!

Chart here

GetDownYouWillFall · 01/12/2010 13:16

Yes this was the end of the WTF cycle... so I know it was silly to get my hopes up for this cycle, but even so... why do I feel so low?

I know you got pregnant the cycle after your WTF Lady so hoping for me too...

LadyGoneGaga · 01/12/2010 13:13

Hugs, Getdown. Was this the end of your WTF cycle? You may well fall next cycle, hon. x

GetDownYouWillFall · 01/12/2010 13:01

mouse so glad you have a sense of peace now, well done for getting through it, and hope you enjoy your time together with DH today.

Glad pussy cat is back from vets spilt and hope paw heals quickly.

I have been in work this morning, finished at 12, just rushed back to take over looking after DD. Only just had time to stop. The sadness of AF arriving has just hit me and I'm having a little cry Sad

spilttheteaagain · 01/12/2010 12:42

Back from vets. He's had his paw washed and it oozed pus. They gave him a long lasting antibiotic injection and anti inflamatories. Hopefully it will get better quickly. He's now sat in the (clean) litter tray having a wash! Poor little soldier.

mouse I'm so glad the service was special and helped you. Hope you find the right time to tell DH your news when you're ready.

mousebacon · 01/12/2010 10:57

Hi ladies, hope you are well. The snow here is ridiculous but thankfully we made it to the crem on time. The service was lovely, very simple but catered for all. DH taking me for pub lunch later (it's rare we have a day off together). Went to church afterwards and lit a candle. Feel a sense of peace now.

Feel v guilty for not sharing my positive test news with DH but don't want to be the cause of more heartache. Still worried it might be a molar pg or AF is going to come any minute. Temps aren't as high as I'd like so can't shake the feeling this isn't real. Ugh. Hopefully more tests will arrive today and I can test again. No real symptoms to report but they didn't kick in till 7 weeks last time. Fingers crossed please.

spilt sorry your cat is poorly, hope he's on the mend soon.

Well done coast a line is a line! Smile

arch don't feel guilty - when we decide we want a baby we want one NOW and any delay is always hard.

How you feeling nix ?

Sorry about RTD getdown CD2 is always an easier day xx

love to all xx

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 01/12/2010 10:43

Poor Puddy :( its hideous when you cant help them. Hopefully the vet will give him a shot and that will help :)

spilttheteaagain · 01/12/2010 10:34

Hello Truff!

Thanks Nix. I don't know what he's done. It seems to be the pad of his paw that is hurting so much, and the whole foot is swollen. It looks a bit bruised. He just tried to get off the sofa and walk and limped and howled for 6 steps and then spent about 5 mins trying to sit comfortably again whilst still making horrible pained meows Sad. I hate it when they are hurt, I can't reassure him and he can't tell me what's wrong. Vets at 12.00.

Hope you enjoy HP MrsA

Lady I feel guilty for admitting this but I've been charting since June and properly TTC for 4 months, so I have no right to be getting frustrated, especially as DD took 12m to conceive.

That's my problem - I obsess and stress and worry if thinsg don't happen immediately. And then that could be affecting my ov!

I am trying really hard to keep calm, just chart, SWI every other day from CD14 until CD26 and then forget about it and plan for Xmas.

Thanks for your comments all and getdown I am so sorry - have a glass of wine tonight.

On the upside, I have a night out with DP tonight - off to see Harry Potter!

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 01/12/2010 09:52

getdown PANTS & ARSE the red witch arrived, damn damn (((((hugs)))) mrsA it will happen, I am so sure of it. Charting gives you so much more control. A much higher rate of conception when charting which is fab, but i know all too well how BFP's on here can make you feel. Happy & delighted for others, but you so so want it for yourself. Could be your cycle this month. I do so hope so x

spilt your poor poor moggie :( i am a moggie lover (currently got my big grey boy cat wrapped around my foot as i am on craptop) how has he hurt it? poor thing! They are quite resilient though. I hope he/she is washing it, that will help. Bit of a shame you have to stay in the warmth and look after your cat rather than brave the ice and cold Grin get those feet up x

GetDownYouWillFall · 01/12/2010 09:25

Thanks spilt feeling kind of low, but had half been expecting it.

Was my first cycle after MC, so I suppose it would have been too lucky to conceive again first time.

Truffkin · 01/12/2010 09:24

Hi everyone, I wanted to pop in to congratulate all the recent BFPers! A great success for charting ladies.

IfAt I hear you on the cold, we were away at the weekend and I appear to have caught mine from my mother in law. I struggled in to work yesterday and was there until nearly 8pm. I'm conferincing overnight tonight so am making the most of a bit longer in bed this morning before I have to venture out in the snow. At least I can take drugs though, ((hugs))

MrsA I can also empathise with how you are feeling. I've been charting for 4 months now after getting fed up of no BFP, I thought it would help to know when the most fertile time was. My charts show ovulation clearly each month and I have a nice 14 day luteal phase but no BFP still (yet)! I must admit that when ERTD arrived for me last week I felt most let down but FF tells me that ERTD would be due on Boxing Day this month so a BFP would be a great Christmas present Grin

Still, feelin ill is sending my temps all over the place at the moment. Hope it settles down soon, I'm expecting to OV probably next Thursday so would like to be able to see a clear shift.

Hope all you pg ladies are taking care of yourselves in the snow!

spilttheteaagain · 01/12/2010 09:00

Oh pants GetDown that's rubbish Sad
Hope you're ok.

It's not just you MrsA. Perfectly timed SWI this month, and Evil Red Tide of Doom arrived this morning Sad

B*gger

Orchid12 · 01/12/2010 08:41

Hi all, sorry I've not been around for a while.Congratulations to all the new BFP's!!! How exciting Smile

MrsA I know the feeling, but try not to let it get to you too much (I always failed at this though I have to say!). We took nearly a year and I know we time it right every darn month which was very frustrating. You'll get there my lovely.

spilttheteaagain · 01/12/2010 08:12

Well quite Lady. Do you think snow would do?? Grin

OP posts:
LadyGoneGaga · 01/12/2010 08:09

Congratulations, Coast! Grin

Sorry you feel a bit down, MrsA. Sometimes it just takes a while even when perfectly timed - how long have you been trying now? Your charts show you are ovulating and nice and regular so surely only a matter of time.

Poor Spilt's cat - ouch. Funny the engine needs coolant this weather!
