Owls agree re moos egg-nogging...wont tell you what that makes me think of. There fore wombo i will sadly never share your starbucks egg-nog coffee!

Owls you are a teensy weensy bit ahead of me. 6+2 tomorrow. You will be fine i know it. Try not to think about it and pray (no i am not religious either... but saying please god seems to make me feel like i am pleading to a higher power than what controls sticky womb lining or progesterone levels ) xx

Hi All

Thanks for the thoughts - it is my due date today and of course you are all right - the buildup is much worse than the day although of course I am sad :( Hopefully now I can get some closure and move on.

FF decided on Monday that I did actually ov on cd15 which means I have had a stress-free 2ww. AF due on Friday - I also am kinda hoping she turns up so I can drown my sorrows at the work Xmas do on Saturday

here is my crazy chart no idea WTF is going on with the rollercoaster temps! have mega sore boobs this month! I hope they are gone by Saturday otherwise it will interfere with my dancing!

Sorry I am not writing personal messages - have been awol so long it's difficult to catchup. Anyway thanks again for thinking of me
xx

Time for massive catch up. I have been lurking but not posting as too busy checking knickers every 2 minutes. I kid ye not.

Moo That's the best use of the words 'egg-nog' I've ever seen

Wombat it works okay but you don't want to hang around otherwise it either a: falls out or b: dries up. However, it does not kill off the swimmers and that is what matters, right?

Bee I too would have bought the second stocking and wailed copiously - glad to hear you are on the up again

Nix I know how you feel - tomorrow is day 6 + 6 and when I mc last time - am crapping myself with fear. Hope you are doing okay my lovely.

Massive mince pie and cheering squad for Velvet if she is lurking x

Tigger big grrr at rotten cycle misbehaving - I am really hoping for a much rosier 2011 for you.

Big hug for MummyB , Baubles , MamaC , Izzy and all the other lovely people in here, this is still the best and most supportive ttc thread I reckon, which is why I am refusing to move out

Nix - I tried the DD trick already - failed.

Wombat - Preseed - I optimistically ordered some after my MC. It arrived the day before DH decided he wasn't playing. We've therefore not tested it yet. I have squeezed the tube a little to see what it's like, and I think for lube/pleasure purposes it's not going to be as good as Senselle/Sensilube (which I've used for years), which has a much more egg-noggy consistency. I can't comment about relative sperm-friendliness, as I don't usually need to use anything at fertile times anyway.

Hi Emoo and Nix!

I just bought myself a little pre-Christmas present: Preeseed from amazon. Anyone know if it's any good? Should be here early next week, so might be too late for SWI week this month (due to ov Monday ish), but I'll have it for next month (and if I don't need it next month I'll be thrilled to have wasted my money)

Hello lovelies, sorry not been around for a couple of days, Hideous working week thus far, 2 nights in MK, not seen DS and crap WIFI! (not sure which is worse, cant live without wifi!!)

Orange you have some good symptoms there lovely, heres everything crossed atm for you :) AR damn damn damn if the witch arrives! Hopefully not though :)

mummy glad you are feeling better lovely, and you have time for some MEtime before rels arrive! Oooh christmas in the sun, what i wouldnt give!

Big huge hugs to everyone needing a hug the last couple of days :( baublebabe ladybee sorry you had a rant, but i love the way you write! You should be a novelist!! Hope you are both feeling good now. baublebabe second this

HK good luck for the 2WW get the pineapple juice down your gullet, half a litre or more every day!! Brazil nuts too!!!

chockster i cant view your chart, would check if i could. Glad you better, have you had a bug or food poisoning?

emoo Hello lovely, glad to see you back if only for a short time. Sorry DH isnt playing ball.... i found setting DS on my DH for a little brother or sister worked wonders!!! Yes I am that devious!! Gave him the incentive to get his willy ass in gear!
Dont give up lovely xx

vevlet if its your due date soon i hope you are ok, hows the chart looking now? Did you get a late ov? Hope so :)

I am ok. Other than work is wank, I officially hate customers. Had the most stressful monday/tuesday ever. Not good not good! ARSES! Hence the two nights in a hotel so i can rest more rather than kill myself driving - need the rest!! On mega knicker watch atm, say a little "please god" every time i go to the loo. Am avoiding all my friends at the min as i have only told mum and sis. Symptom wise i have scary boobs again and did have a bit of nausea but i just eat like a pig and it stays away, although i want it reassuringly back today!! Please god let there be something in the sack this time....

Cannot believe its the 15th December and i dont feel remotely christmassy... need to get through this work week and next then am off for 10 days at christmas all decorating is complete, house is straight, just DS time and Feet up!

xxxx

Just popping in to say hellooo!

Ladybee - big hug for you. You are not bonkers. Or if you are, so am I.

baubles - big hug for you too. You're right, it's shit.

tunnocks - I sympathise... very frustrating not knowing what's going on, and (strangely) am glad AF found you in the end. My body's gone to pot... don't understand what's happening... 3 days of spotting, no ovulation, no imminent signs of period, and my chart looks like the mirror image of what it should be... mine has to be hormonal as I didn't have ERPC. I realise it's early days yet though.

Izzy - at your 4-year old choosing stuff. Makes life so much easier, I find. They have firm opinions while we remain clueless and indifferent...

dachsh - not sure about the eggnog coffee... I've not got over the eggnog associations from the previous thread yet [why don't we have a vomit emoticon??]

Hiding - boooo hisss sorry to hear about AF. Hmmm, if I put mooncup on my Christmas list, do you think any of my rels would be brave enough to buy it???!!!

Wombat - the pregnancy announcements are hard aren't they? I've been dreading the Christmas cards arriving, as there is always someone signing off with "bump" or similar..

Nix - hooray for the nausea [need vomit emoticon again]

I hope that all the poorly people are feeling better, and all the unhappy people have someone nearby to give 'em a lovely squashy hug, and that Amazon get their act together!! And sorry to hear that AF found a lot of you, but enjoy the port and stilton and pate over Christmas...

I'm not really much happier and am no further on with DH, but I guess I've got time to leave it awhile if my body's not playing ball.

Loola2snowshus?

Thinking of you Velvet

Choc hope you miss the snow, LookNorth weather said it could start Wed night so take care! Although being snowed in when Ov is just around the corner could be handy?

Tigger sorry it was annov, I had one last month, and I know its crap when it happens a lot (I have PCOS and until recently didn't ever ov at all)

Well FF have canceled that Ov line as temp dropped back again this am... I am wishing my life away hoping for more temps to input! It gets a bit addictive doesn't it!

TBH I wasn't expecting Ov until between Christmas Eve and New Year as last few cycles have been UCL40so will wait and see!

BTW what do you lot class as wet/creamy/EWCM? just a couple of times I have had CM that could be put under more than one title IYSWIM!

Hugs to Velvet coming from me too.

Hope work it not too nuts today Izzy and Mummy that you're over the S&V and enjoying having your family to stay.

Have a good trip Choccy and YEY!!!!! for AF Tunnocks!!! (did I post that yesterday? Can't remember!).

Love to all of you lovely ladies xxx

PS Dachs when do you start your next cycle??

Just a quickie... izzy, yes you are right...
velvet be thinking of you tomorrow, lots of hugs and love xx

Just a quick message as I'm at work but I know it was somrone's due date today and I think it was velvet - just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and hope you're ok xx

big ((((hugs)))) to you and all those who need them today x

tigger that was probably me, When I first did the list yesterday I had to add on 5 days to everyone, and obviously that was stretching my mental capabilities at 8 am too far! Sorry

Thanks izz I take 50 mg now, but may up it to 100 for this cycle and see how I get on. I'll see how you get on ladybee with the progesterone before I commit to buy!

chocky I agree with everyone that it looks pre ov at the minute. Get that swi in!

Has anyone seen velvet recently? It's her due date today, I think.

mummyO do you feel any better today? Eeeep for a family christmas.

Hi choccybick,
Your chart doesn't look like ovulation has happened yet to me, but maybe you're getting close with the sore boobs, ewcm and pain. I think you won't see a line drawn until you see three temps that are higher than the previous six (I believe).

Ah, my day at home - hooray! Thank you every one for your lovely warm thoughts and hugs after my mad upset day. I was still a bit testy yesterday but feel like I'm on the up again now so I think it was partly the hormonal dip.

Can't remember who was asking about progesterone cream but I used it after ovulation as well as a b multivit throughout my cycle and my lp was 12 instead of 11. Could be coincidence but I'll do it again this cycle and see if it repeats.

Must get up, breakfast won't make itself...

Hi chocky,

glad you are feeling better.

Your chart looks pre-ov to me, but if EGCM has started then it could be coming any day. The LAST day of EGCM is the real clue to ov. Hope you have a safe trip and dont forget to pack your themometer!

xxx

hoorah!!!! I did it

does a Dora dance in proud moment and then realises she´s not really announcing a BFP here, but just posting a link to a rather confusing wee chart

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3273e8

"Look at this page"

okay seems im having a bad blonde computer illiterate moment. too much powerpointing today....

really cant figure out how to share....
oh well wasnt meant to be

Hi folks
havent been around for a good week. Spent 4 days in bed - unfortunately not TTC but trying to get well.
Back at work since Monday and its go-go-go in the Xmas run up.
Heading off on a business trip tomorrow to avoid mental snow on Thursday morning to give day long presentations on Thurs and workshops on Friday so just been packing bag and just realised its day 18!!!
Wooppppp

you know i started temping, well ff says i didnt ovulate yet. im starting to wonder...... ?! I kind of felt it at the weekend, had ewcm mid/end last week, but only today my boobs are sore.
If i figure out how to post my link here i will do and maybe (pretty pretty please) one of you temping profis can take a peek to see if you see a peak

[url=www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3273e8]My Ovulation Chart[/url]

big wave to all you lovely ladies. sorry no time for name checking tonight. i need sleep and need to check over my bag before bed.

nite!!

tigger it's nothing personal, I know I lost a few days last month and had to catch up! Sorry it was annovulatory again - you're coming up to your appointment aren't you? Hope you get some answers there xx

It looks like I haven't been updated for 5 days. Is that because everyone agrees with my assessment that I'm going nowhere fast? Another non ovulating cycle.

I'm here MummyO (you have my Oracle vote as well) just so beyond knackered to write anything constructive. Charli&Lola theatre trip this morning (absolutely amazing - am in love with London all over again for having such amazing life nourishing things for children), lunch at a friend's house, mad training session, hospital appointment for annoying adam's apple thyroid problem, then date night with DH where we put the world to rights over a large bottle of red!!! AF is almost certainly on the way as I have my 5 month pregnant belly I get in the days before af arrives but hey ho I am trying to console myself with the concept of drinking mulled wine at Christmas Markets in Cologne in our mad overnight trip there this weekend.

teacake woohooo

If anyone needs to do something mad this weekend and is anywhere near Brentcross - there is going to be one of those Flash Mob Choirs singing the hallelujah chorus on Saturday. My choir is part of it and I so wish I could take part!!!

Orange am waiting for a fat lady to sing - signs could just as easily be bfp ones

HK glad you are enjoying having an official 2ww. Hopefully sore boobs will equal wiggling bean.

sorry I haven't been around much this week, am working looooong hours and generally got too much on....BUT I have managed to get some swi-ing in so fx for ov soon before I collapse with exhaustion

This'll have to be quick because I'm starving, but first off big big ((((hugs)))) to ladybee I'm sorry you had such a bad day lovely, you're not going mad, god knows I've been all over the place emotionally until this week, and don't worry about jinxing anything - it will happen for you one day soon, and it won't matter what you've bought and when xx

tunnocks fab news about af!!!! So pleased things are getting back to normal!

mummya your Christmas sounds lovely! Are you feeling any better today? When are you back on the ttc bandwagon?

Right now baubles ...luteal phase, you say, I think I may have been there. Firstly, 11 days isn't bad, anything over 10 is generally fine and actually it's mire about progesterone levels anyway. But having been there I can tell you that I've tried B6 (50mg, now up to 100mg), and acupuncture and it seems to be working. After 4 acupuncture sessions my lp has gone up from 7 to 12 days!!! The other thing my acupuncturist recommended (which I have been doing) is to keep warm after ov to promote progesterone production, especially keep feet warm) and if you're really worried get some period pain heat pads from eg Boots and stick to pants after ov (but stop about 5 days before af as it won't help implantation then and heat will just artificially delay af)

anyway something seems to be working, so they're my tips - good luck!!

helloooo I have been glued to the PC all day, still feeling yuck so I have got someone in to look after DS and am putting my feet up. Family arriving in a few hours

Busy Christmas card writing... uggh!
