Morning everyone :) I have been absent due to travelling and being knackered :( but I am very excited to see some very hopeful charts! I really am keeping my fingers crossed for you if xx

split good luck on the ov - it's nice to know our bodies are sorting themselves out :)

Am just off to work but wonder if you could I could get advice on my chart. FF originally said I ov on day 22,then changed its mind to day24 and now had changed it back to 22 again. I don't have any chance of being pg this month - but as you know I need to plan travel around my ov so need to book flights in advance!! Chart here
Promise to do a catch up tonight xxx

TerrysNo2 · 24/11/2010 22:19

Things are looking good Ifatfirst keep us updated or we will chart stalk you!! Grin

LadyG I'm pleased you made a decision about the scan. I hope you have a fantabulous christmas!!

Good luck on the OV-ing spilt

hippychick66 · 24/11/2010 22:01

Good luck if. I know what you mean - the last few days of the LP are the most exciting but also the worst - it's all hanging in the balance. I really hope it's your month.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 24/11/2010 21:22

Thank girls. If my temp remains high tomorrow I may go and purchase a cheap test, although I keep trying to tell myself I should hold out until Friday.

I hate this point!!!

digitalgirl · 24/11/2010 21:06

V exciting ifat fingers crossed.

mousebacon · 24/11/2010 20:20

Hi ladies, ladyg I've given serious consideration to an early scan next time so it's interesting to see your decision (I think I'd go for it too btw).

ifatfirst I'll eat my own arm if you're not pg! Am v excited for you.

I'm now about 38 days post erpc and I think I ov'd about 5 days ago. Temp went up again today. Unfortunately I think AF will be due on wed - the day of the cremation. Doom.

digi I loved harry potter but they'd missed so much out so was a bit disappointed. Can't wait for the next one now.

Just getting ready for the next installment of the apprentice - love that show!

xx

nickstermum · 24/11/2010 20:06

IF wowzers that looks like its gonna go triphasic

Lady do your private service not offer 6 week scans? i think some do if you didnt want to wait. (we were booked for a private nuchal at the hosp which did 6 week viability ones i think) if that helps :)

LadyGoneGaga · 24/11/2010 19:58

Oooh, Ifat - that looks good. Are you waiting to test? Patient girl!

Sounds like you're gearing up, Spilt. Hope you get an August baby.

Have decided to take Terrys advice and book a private viability scan. They don't offer them til 8 weeks so I still have 3 and bit weeks left to wait. But is 5 days before Christmas which could make a very sad or happy Christmas Hmm

spilttheteaagain · 24/11/2010 19:53

ooh IfatFirst it looks really good! Really hope this is it for you.

The only time I had lots of CM in the LP was when I was pregnant so it might be a sign.

OP posts:
spilttheteaagain · 24/11/2010 19:51

Hmm, just looked at my old charts and I always seemed to have 3-4 days of watery/EWCM and ovulate on the last day, so I guess that means it's likely to be CD12/CD13 this month. So Saturday/Sunday. Which could be a late August baby Smile

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 24/11/2010 19:45

Temp back up this morning and higher thanit has been al cycle(annoyed at yesterday's discarded temp - has disrupted the nice neat post-ov pattern) here www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3
At 14DPO I did expect it to fall. No sign of AF either!!!

Cramps have subsided slightly, and are more like gurgling sensations at the very pit of my stomach. Boobs are still big & sore, still have backache at the lower part of my back.
Felt a bit urgh again this morning, but soon perked up and wolfed down my lunch!
Oh, and (TMI) I have had loads of watery & creamy CM over the last 2 days, so much that I have to keep nipping to the loo thinking that AF has arrived.

I wish it was the weekend, so I'd know either way.

spilttheteaagain · 24/11/2010 19:41

Thanks girls, you are all so lovely. My sister came over and babysat me today so we had a good chat and a cry and then we went over to the cemetery to see Bobbie. The bereavement MW has phoned back and she is coming to visit next week so I can talk everything through, so I'm feeling a bit less fretful and alone now. Just nervous about what the consultant will tell us tomorrow.

I have now got what appears to be fertilish pant snot, but a - OPK. Only CD9 though so probably got a few days build up still.

I can't remember nickster - how long is your LP normally?

nickstermum · 24/11/2010 19:26

((((spilt)))))

Sorry you feel so rubbish, second the hot chocolate with marshmallows and fresh cream xxxx

Have you had any contact with SANDS at all? I hear they are quite well received if thats appropriate to say!

still temping Grin 11 dpo ish...no symptoms thus far apart from everything on that list but then am not looking Shock Hmm

TerrysNo2 · 24/11/2010 15:40

Hi all

At work and v busy but I like to procrastinate with you ladies every now and again! Grin

-ve OPK again today, will do another tonight.

Did have a few lower abdomen twinges a couple of minutes ago but last month they were very apparent for quite a few hours so we will see.

GetDown hope you are in pain tomorrow!! Grin

spilt I hope you are having a nice relaxing day, don't worry about work, just take care of yourself.

MrsA I hope you are somewhere drinking wine, eating brie and having a hot bath! Do come back and join us when you feel ready. xxx

GetDownYouWillFall · 24/11/2010 14:39

Hope you've had a nice time with your sis today spilt

Any sign of ov. yet Terrys?

My crampy-womb feeling seems to have gone today. I am 6DPO, last cycle when I got pregnant I had implantation pains at 7DPO... so am hoping I might feel something tomorrow.

Trying not to get my hopes up too much.

spilttheteaagain · 24/11/2010 10:55

Thanks GetDown. My sister is on her way over so I better get showered and dressed at least.

OP posts:
GetDownYouWillFall · 24/11/2010 10:46

Sorry that second part was for you spilt

GetDownYouWillFall · 24/11/2010 10:45

So sorry AF arrived MrsA it is totally gutting. Sad

Don't feel guilty about being off today, it's still early days. Am so sorry you struggled yesterday and I'm not surprised you had physical aches by the end of the day.

The mind and the body are so closely linked. When I had depression it felt like I had flu - shaky, shivery, aches. It's amazing how one can affect the other.

I hope you are tucked up on the sofa today with a big hot chocolate (freezing here) and some cake.

I am on DPO 6. No symptoms today.

spilttheteaagain · 24/11/2010 10:42

So sorry MrsA. I hope your next cycle doesn't mess you around like this.

I have my fingers crossed for IfAtFirst, GetDown and nickster on your 2ww's, hope we get another BFP after Ladys wonderful news.

terrys keep up the good work.

I'm off work again today after a nightmare day yesterday. I feel so useless and guilty and generally crap about not being able to work. Wish I had no job and then I could wallow here for as long as it takes without fretting about work guilt as well.

I was in pain all evening on Monday and Tuesday because I had been so physically tense all day at work I had given myself a stomach ache and hurt the muscles in my back. The effort of gritting my teeth and holding back tears all day had left me with an aching neck and jaw and puffy stinging eyes.

I have just written a big vent on the miscarriage thread here about how shit it all is but don't want to clog this place up too far.

I hope you are all ok, especially you MrsA, CD1/2 can be very hard and lonely. I always used to tell myself on CD1 that if it worked this month then I was already 1 day pregnant. That cheered me up a bit. I had a few 3+6 week pregnancies by that logic Wink

Arsetits mrsa Sad

Hope you're enjoying your vino.

My chart has gone mental, having big fluctuations for a few days in a row. And beginning to feel some twinges in that area so something is trying to happen.

Starting yoga next week for the first time since I did pregnancy yoga. Really looking forward to it.

nickstermum · 23/11/2010 21:19

Damn and buggeration mrsA, enjoy the pate x

LadyGoneGaga · 23/11/2010 20:46

Bugger, MrsA. Sad Sending you brie and pate too.

Keep going with those OPK's, Terrys. Have high hopes for them this month Grin

TerrysNo2 · 23/11/2010 20:43

Oh MrsA I am so Sad for you. I really thought with all that SWI you would be a shoo-in.

That site is good Ifatfirst - for helping you make the most of any bodily feeling!! Grin

CD12 today, last month OV-ed on CD15 so I am hoping my body is gearing up for it. Cervix definitely feels higher and slightly more open and soft but very minimal changes. I don't seem to have any EWCM yet which is odd as I usually have loads from quite early on (CD5 last month)

OPK negative again tonight.

Gotta go, DH made risotto!! Smile
