Welcome back MamaP Sad af sucks but guzzling champagne sounds great - nothing worse than being the only sober one at a wedding!!

Dachs I am egging Hmm on your eggs -

I have decided nothing is happening this month as am symptomless so have been happily drinking coffee and wine , sushi etc etc. Am feeling remarkably cheery and content with the world - what's that all about!!!

velvet how incredibly confusing - fx it ends in a BFP.

Hiding glad you managed it. A surreal experience but nice to know where you are at - sort of.

nix other than ewcm, I had the ov cramp thing, sore boobs with some sharp pains, intense tiredness, I have had the ov bleed before. I don't temp but am generally very regular (may have changed now but am pretty sure I ov'd on day15 right on time)

Babe (acronym eludes me at the mo as does my spelling of the word!) I completely get the idea of a month off. Enjoy all your goodies

It looks like the next week or so is going to be busy with plenty of POAS action! Pink how are you doing?

mouse I had a very clear image of you popping your head out of a Tom&Jerry-esque mousehole and then scuttling back in!

mousebacon · 14/11/2010 21:42

Realy got my fingers crossed for you velvet xx

Good luck dachs hope it goes really well for you.

Nothing to report here (bored emoticon) just want to ov!!!

Mucho love, mouse x

nickstermum · 14/11/2010 21:40

Day for it.... Aiden out and toss pot vettel won the grand prix championship grrrrrrrr!!

Izz have a gander on eBay, ticket prices have stabilised, only about 80 quid now :) agree tt were incredible :)

Predictable for simon to save cheryls act huh?!

Velvetcu · 14/11/2010 21:28

Welcome back mamap cold innit:)

New update from me - bleeding has frikkin stopped! Not hopeful of being of but at least it gives me a longer cycle length. Not gonna poas anytime soon I would rather not know if it's gonna end badly anyway.

Am really gutted that Aiden has gone on x factor he was my fav :-(

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 14/11/2010 20:50

Welcome back mamap !!!!! Sorry AF got you, but it's lovely to hear from you again and I'll keep my fx for a KL bean for you!

Take That were amazing, I am so Envy of those of you with tickets - I tried and failed Sad

even worse, I actually had tickets for them once before, on their first reunion tour in 2006, also tickets to see Robbie separately about a month later, and had to miss both due to arrival of dd, so am absolutely gutted to have missed out again but at least can reassure you all that TT tickets are a guarantee of updiffage and impending baybee by date of tour Grin

nickstermum · 14/11/2010 20:38
Grin

welcome back gorgeous-lady hope you had an awesome time.... show us your white bits!! Grin sorry AF came, i was rooting for an ozzie bean for you :(

Will someone please vote off wagner or katie....perlease.....!!

HidingInTheBackRow · 14/11/2010 20:36

Just like to start by saying: Yes! You were all right! Grin
After much procrastination and general rubbishness I finally poas and got my BFN. Phew, and just like you all said I feel so much better for getting it over with. Of course this just means I can go back to obsessing over preg symptoms and moaning about not having a BFP...Happy Times Grin

Dach I am terribly excited for you! Wow, I don't know anything about these things but six sounds pretty darn good to me. Hope it all goes well Smile

Sorry AF got you LadyBee Sad.
velvet I think that if your temps are still high you should test as you can still bleed in early pregnancy...right?

Hope the 2WW is a lucky one for you nix

MamaPower · 14/11/2010 20:27

Did ya miss me, did ya?? lol! Well I missed you all.
Welcome newbies, hope you are all enjoying the support from the thread :)
OK, so I know you only want one piece of info and I'm so jet lagged that's all I can manage; I'm afraid the old biatch got me, on my sis in-laws wedding day too! Still, I spent the day eating nurofen like smarties and knocking them back with champagne... every cloud!!!
The list updated below. Here's a thought, if I get upduffed this cycle the bean was made in KL, fingers crossed cause that dreaded due date is getting closer and closer!

Also, BFP for inbetweener I see, yay! congrat's sweets x

Will try and catch up tomorrow x

nickstermum · 14/11/2010 20:25

hey velvet, totally understand your frustration re lack of control :( have faith! If your temps are still up thats a sure fire way identifying pg! bleed or not!

Whats the bleed like - heavy and clotty or light? sorry if tmi!

babessorry you are in full flow :( i cannot stand wagner katie although cher is growing {(like mould)

I wanted to share with you my other OV signs on top of the obvious to see whether you guys get them at all... or whether its cos reading TCOYF i am now more heightened to senses!

I get

Jelly legs (get this around ov, AF and during pg/mc and i think its related to progesterone falling or oestrogen rising
Swollen fat bits down there
and the desire to hump a lamp-post (provided it contains swimmmers!!) I have never had those sensations so heightened before, in additition to ewcm, high cervix and temping so i thought i would share them!!

Plus also,.... to anyone else on the 2WW pineapple juice apparently makes your womb lining really sticky! (and thats the reason for drinking it!!)

youremindmeofthebabe · 14/11/2010 18:40

you know what you need to do, right?? Poas fmu tomorrow. See whats going on. You'll be 13 dpo, won't u then?X

Velvetcu · 14/11/2010 17:45

thanks Izzy I know it can happen and I don't understand why my temps are still high (and I have checked again this evening) but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

PFF thanks for the hugs - I don't think there is a problem with progesterone as I have been temping since 2 days before last AF and they were low then and had a very clear shift up.

Sorry for the mememe it's just annoying that I have no idea about when I'm supposed to SWI coz of random cycles so I have no control. I'm going to continue with FF so at least I have something to show a doctor in a few months if I decide to go.

nickstermum · 14/11/2010 17:38

proper catch up later,,,, feet up with DS for ten before his bath & bed.... all 'wackied' out! Confused

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 14/11/2010 17:12

velvet it was me! I had a proper period when pg with ds, didn't notice any difference whatsoever, and assumed bfn. Next af was lighter so I poas'd and bfp. Had an early scan, thought I should have been 6.5 weeks but turned out to be 9!

I think with me it was because I ov at a weird time sometimes, but the point is it's not always straightforward. It's definitely odd for your temps to stay or go up. Maybe see how AF pans out but if it's lighter than normal or temps stay up I would be tempted to poas in a few days.

Big (((hugs))) to you anyway, it sounds like you need them. I really hope you stick around and we see some good news for you soon x

((( ladybee ))) sorry you're having a tough time. It is so hard watching the time go by and remembering what would have been. Hope you're ok x

nicks yay! On the 2ww already - let the mentalling begin!

Best wishes to pink and anyone else waiting to POAS.

(((hugs))) to YRMOTB have to admit I'm not doing very well with the detox, maybe I should put in a bit more effort [guilty emoticon]

inbetweener let us know how you get on at dr tomorrow

Velvetcu · 14/11/2010 16:34

No YRMOTB they are still high! Actually at the highest it's been all month.

loola2shu · 14/11/2010 16:05

Hello, Sorry I have been MIA!

I think I have missed most if not all of the last thread, so I have no idea where everyone's at!

I am currently CD21 with no sign of Ov yet but last 2 cycles have been 40 and 42 days respectively, and I always have a 14cd luteal phase, so i am expecting ov to appear in a week(ish)

I'll go and read backover to catch up, I can never keep up with you chatterboxers though!!

youremindmeofthebabe · 14/11/2010 16:02

Oh, sorry velvet Xpost. Has your temp dipped too?

youremindmeofthebabe · 14/11/2010 16:00

Ooh, pink that soup sounds good, I've just made nigella's sweet and salty chocolate bars, which are delish(well, I am permitted, I'm on my period). Usually when my flapjacks are crumbly there's not enough "sealant" in it, so golden syrup, butter etc. Although if they're made without them, then thats probably why! Fx for you testing soon!

Ok here, day 2 of full flow. I'm sure it gets a little heavier each month. I've bought cider and chocolate and gonna have a roast for tea. I feel a bit down, but it'll pass. I'm definately having next month off though. I don't want to deny myself all the fun xmas has to offer, and still maybe end up with a BFN (wuss)

I agree re Wagner, nix and wiggle. It's terrible. I'm going to be sad if he gets through at the expense of somebody good, although, Mary, Paije and Katie and manybe Cher can all cock off first, IMHO.

ladybee sorry you're feeling low. It really doesn't help when things come and go that should be marked by other events, iyswim. I think big boy bed is a little bitter sweet anyway, because they're getting older. Ds is 4 in a fortnight, and it makes me feel really a bit sad. I'm so lucky to have him, but you know what i mean.

dachs that's fab news, I am really chuffed. I hope they blastocyte for you!

velvet it all sounds very promising! Eeek!

Hope everyone else is well, off to read the Sunday papers and have a little cry!

PinkFondantFancy · 14/11/2010 15:50

Awww velvet so sorry hun :( if temps stay high I think you should see dr tho-I'm going from memory but think tcoyf says something about that and it might mean your progesterone levels are high. Don't know what the implications of that are tho. Oh and also did you poas? It just that someone round here, sorry can't remember who, had a proper period while in early pregnancy with one of their dc's..... Xx

Velvetcu · 14/11/2010 15:44

I give up!! AF has arrived despite temps still high meaning this is a 26 day cycle. I have no chance of finding a pattern with such random lengths so I am quitting while I've got some sanity left.

Hopefully I will get lucky at some point but for now I'm giving the stress a break and leaving it in the lap of the gods!

PinkFondantFancy · 14/11/2010 15:35

lady sorry for your pants day yesterday :( I can totally understand why you're feeling down-I think it's hard not to plan stuff when you get the BFP and then the passing of time just underlines how things didn't pan out as expected :( hope you had a good day at the museum-good weather for indoor fun! hehe rabbit clock that says when it's ok to get up sounds cool!!

I am feeling like a domestic goddess today-just cooked up some homemade chicken soup for tomorrow lunchtime! I also made 'qi-tonifying' flapjack but it's more like crumble topping than flapjack, any ideas what I did wrong? Anyway being allowed flapjack, no matter how crumbly, on a detox is pretty exciting!!!

PinkFondantFancy · 14/11/2010 15:27

Hello all, sorry betweener no news here! Not gonna poas until thurs tho if no AF by then as BFNs take me an entire day to get over, as my rage on Friday might have shown!! Can't believe I'm on CD 34-no symptoms tho except being knackered and needing a pee twice last night which I'm not sure count!! Oh and all time high on the temps today although that might be because I usually sleep with mouth open but think last night it might have been shut... Anyone out there temp using fanjo temp rather than mouth?? Was thinking it might cut down the fluctuations I see but it is a bit gross, ESP during AF!!!!

Hehe velvet fx it's a sign!!!

orange I waited for one AF after I got the BFN and then started ttc. I don't think you need to but I wanted to be sure all the gunk had flushed out iyswim.

Yay for nix sounds like a nice early ov!

mamap you about yet?? Any news??? Suspense is killing me!!

OrangeToeNails · 14/11/2010 13:56

ladybee sorry she got you. Sucks with birthday and Xmas coming up

I'm tempted to start ttc in new year. From OPK+ I should be due next fri. Assuming it happens. Don't like the thought of 1st BFN for xmas, but can't bear the thought of waiting. How long did everyone wait?

dachs fx for tomorrow/weds

any news from pink ?

velvet I hope it is a pg symptom :)

Velvetcu · 14/11/2010 13:27

Grrr I hate Google!! Have been sneezing with a runny nose for 4 days with not other cold/flu symptoms so I googled it and there is such a thing as pregnancy rhinitis! Where is that fish??

Will someone POAS soon so that I dont have to until next week!

getawiggleon · 14/11/2010 13:09

Grin @ nicks His singing sounds like it's being played on fast-forward anyway. The music kind of runs away with him and he jabbers along trying to keep up! V entertaining though. I have a feeling he is getting the student vote! Hurray for the 2ww too! This one feels like the 2 month wait to me. How can I only be 9dpo after aaaalll this time...
