That's it really. I'm CD 6, having red days, planning my BD-ing & wandering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...?

Sorry to hear about AF Jag, is your appoinment the 4th?

JAG123 · 27/09/2006 20:18

Hi All

Well AF arrived today again a couple of days early. Don't think its a good sign for me.

Good Luck for your blood test Monday Natty. Thats my DH 40th birthday.

charlyp · 25/09/2006 22:53

BBWBabe - also see if you get red days for the rest of your cycle - i think it might do that when it does not detect an o day

fingers crossed for you

BBWBabeLisa · 25/09/2006 20:32

WOW Huge Big Congrats!! Thats certainly made me feel a wee bit less despondent about having no ov symbol this month!

JAG123 · 25/09/2006 19:58

Hi Ladies

Natty - I'm so pleased that your scan has helped you to feel more positive. You seem to have a direction to go in. Hopefully that follicule will continue to grow.

BBWB - Try not to worry too much about ov. Could be something simple like perhaps your sticks have not been wet enough. I would listen to your bodies signs more than the tests.

Carlyp - Congratulations a summer baby how lovely.

Take Care All

1st june according to internet calculator

is wierd that got no sign, but definitely felt i was ovulating based on cramps and bad mood!!!

thats what made it more of a surprise than ever! am starting to feel less detached about it now have been to the doctor and started reading all the bumf

Natty1806 · 25/09/2006 11:18

Excellent news Charly strang about the machine saying no sign of ovulation but you obviously did.

All the best.

3catstoo · 25/09/2006 10:11

Many congratulations Charlyp, that's great news.
I'm sure the shock will turn into sheer excitement in due course.

So, when will you be due? June, July ish?

All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

charlyp · 25/09/2006 09:02

BFP on friday and again when i did another test to be sure on Saturday

still in shock, dh is even more shocked as had not shared my suspicions with him.

am sure will get used to the idea!!

BBWBabe, I had no o sign this month, had bd on cd15, expected o sign on cd 16 or 17 as normal, but nothing on the monitor, despite ov cramps as usual, then had red days right through til cd 29 (normal cycle is 28 days

Natty1806 · 23/09/2006 08:57

Sorry your feeling disheartened, i have had plenty of months like that. big hug from me.

Well scan went well i have done a full post on the clomid thread but to get a long ish story short, i have slightly polystic ovaries which means i will probably go on the list for lap and dye + ovarian drilling (6 month waiting list) i have produced one 15mm follicle on my right that needs to grow to 20mm in order for me to ovulate so fingers crossed in will grow more in the next few days and they predicted ovulation around Monday and have told me to bd Sat, Mon, Wed and Fri.

I will be having a blood test on 2/10/06 to see what my progestrone level is and if it is above 16 it means i will have ovulated, if i have and am not pregnant then i just carry on with my next month of clomid if not i will go for another scan next month.

Feeling really positive now, i know it might not happen yet but at least i have a plan set out in front of me for the next six months and lots of people have said that after having ovarian drilling they became pregnant quickly after so am giving you all a big sprinkling of baby dust and positive vibes.

Hope everyone else is well.

BBWBabeLisa · 22/09/2006 20:15

Hiya Girls, Havent had much chance to be on this week as DH has been on a duty rota thats had him working 8am til 11pm every day, so I've been on my own with DD.
We managed to BD once this week in spite of that, it was on day 18, the day before I expected to get the Ov symbol on my persona (usually I get it days 19 and 20). Well it's now day 22 and I have had no Ov symbol! I don't know whether this means I haven't ovulated this month or what. I could have sworn from my CM that I had, but who knows. Bit fed up about it really.

JAG123 · 21/09/2006 20:18

Sorry

JAG123 · 21/09/2006 20:17

Good Luck Natty & Carlyp (smile)

Natty1806 · 21/09/2006 18:07

Good Luck Carly

3cats - i think the scan will give an indication if the clomid is working and it is also to check to see if i have polystic ovaries.

Will let you know how it goes tomorrow. Fingers crossed for me. x

3catstoo · 21/09/2006 17:53

Hiya

Oil and undies didn't work this month. Maybe I need to persist even though I have a whole month to wait again.

You are good going to the gym.
I manage swimming one night a week, but that's it!

All the best for your test results Jag.

Natty, what will the scan show? Can it tell if the clomid has worked? Good luck.

Charlyp, hope you get the right result tonight.
Will be thinking of you.

charlyp · 21/09/2006 10:19

yep 28 dayer - now day 30 - think will do hpt tonight, fell great about it when i don't think about it and think i will be disappointed if is bfn but am not sure how dh is going to react if is bfp....

thanks jag - hope you get good results

Natty1806 · 21/09/2006 07:00

Thanks, yeah let me know what they say about the gym and good luck for yours, only a few weeks to go.

JAG123 · 20/09/2006 20:41

Its for my results too.
I might ask the question about the gym when we go.
Hope all goes well on Friday.

Natty1806 · 20/09/2006 19:37

sorry that was meant to say gove up for first three months.

Natty1806 · 20/09/2006 19:36

Hi Jag

Just a few hot flushes last week, scan on fri to see if it is working and if i have polystic ovaries.

Good luck for the 4th is it just your DH results then or your bloods as well?

I must admit i worry abit about the gym an the 2ww and beyond but people have said it is fine, i think your body will tell you if you are over doing it, i go 4 times a week but will prob give him 4-12wks pregnant as i think you are really tired then and maybe go back aftet then to get fit for labour.

JAG123 · 20/09/2006 19:28

Hi Ladies

The temping thing you are doing sounds interesting. Might give it a try. The oil thing sounds like fun too.

Keep working on DH 3cats hopefully you will get there.

Natty - Hows the clomid going have you felt any affects from it yet?
I go to the Gym about 3 times a week, but i've been wondering what sort of affect it could have in the 2ww.

Hi Charlyp - I hope its good news for you Good luck.

BBWB -How are you getting on?

DH did his sperm test last week & you would have thought he was going in for a major OP. Just got to wait for all the results on the 4th now.

Take Care All

Natty1806 · 20/09/2006 19:10

Are you normally a 28 dayer?

charlyp · 20/09/2006 18:49

) can relate to the peering away from the screen factor with my dh too, mind you have not tried to tempt with oil and undies

cd28 have all PMT symptoms but no AF, bought new HPT but too scared to try, might leave another 24 hours and see

Natty1806 · 20/09/2006 13:05

Well lets hope the oil and new undies work.

My therm beeps too at 5.30 am then i have to get up for the gym - lovely.

3catstoo · 20/09/2006 12:37

Finger crossed for you Charlyp.
That didn't take you long if you are pg.
Do let us know.

How are you all?

I'm still temping. It's my 'peak' day today according to my temp and CM.
DH was in a foul mood last night (work I think) so I don't really want to tackle him tonight.

I have bought some new underwear this week. Nothing special. I needed some new pants and bras so I thought I would stray from my usual white and go for red instead. I thought maybe DH would like it. It would show that I am making an effort. I also bought some massage oil. I gave him a massage at the weekend and made a point of telling him that I was noy Ov'ing so I wasn't doing it to tempt him to give in to another baby.
Well I was really but forward planning.
DH said my new undies were 'ok' last night. He just about peered away from the computer screen.

I'll carry on with this Toni Weschler charting thing for a while. DH knows I'm doing it as it's hard to hide the bleeping of the thermometer at 6.30am (just after his alarm goes off for the 4th time!).

Hope you are all well.
