Hi Little am glad that your cycle is getting longer & that you ovulated. Your DP is right you will get there the wait is totally tedious though I agree

It's so positive that you have been able to stretch it out through acupuncture, did you say you had been taking b6 too?

Ive been doing a lot of cleaning today, am thinking of treating myself to pizza express & orange Wednesday later. Pizza will definitely help with AF methinks.

Can't believe you are 19 weeks Biscuits Grin. Are you going to find out the sex if you can?

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 13:15

little do you use opks or anything?

TheLittleFriend · 02/11/2011 13:10

Sorry, I meant to say, not sure at which day in the cycle I ovulated.

TheLittleFriend · 02/11/2011 13:10

Hi beedle. Most of my cycles over the past year have been around 14 days, some even shorter, which gp & I are both pretty sure are anovulatory. I'm pretty sure I ovulated this month, and once a couple of cycles ago when it was 24 days. Not sure at which point I have ovulated though.

Yours sound spot on though, a great 13 day luteal phase.

BeedleTheBard · 02/11/2011 12:57

Little is your LP short, or do you just ov early?

My cycles are usually only 23 days but I ov on CD10 so I had thought I was probably OK - when does a cycle become too short??

TheLittleFriend · 02/11/2011 12:43

Hi all
Good to have you back cupcakes.

Well I've got spotting now, though the cramps i've had for the past couple of days have stopped. So I think tomorrow will be CD1. This means a 21 day cycle this time. So better, but not a normal cycle yet. My dp is being lovely and encouraging, saying it's a good thing, but all I think is that it's still not a good enough cycle to get pregnant.

jazzy283 · 02/11/2011 12:04

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 11:55

Glad all your tests I meant cupcakes - not mine!

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 11:55

cupcakes - our scan is next Friday. I'm 19 weeks now - unbelievably!

Glad all our tests are coming in now - hope the results come back soon.

Brooking a great deal for all those testing imminently xx

CupcakesAndCocktails · 02/11/2011 11:49

Thanks for all the brooking guys x

CupcakesAndCocktails · 02/11/2011 11:47

Ha ha Ninja I know you have been ttc for a long time. Now when I PIAR I can barely be bothered to check, I would be probably be speechless for a few weeks if I got a BFP!

Aw Popcorn you've still got plenty of time to smack that rat my dear. Im already dreading the shagathon, I'm tired for gods sake just give me my BFP now please

Maybe I dont miss my puppy days as my dog was completely mad Grin I remember being reduced to tears one day after she had had 6 walks & still wouldn't sleep! She was totally cute though.

I've been wanting to change my name for a while but couldnt think of anything. Eventually I just combined my favourite food & drink!

PopcornMouse · 02/11/2011 11:27

Cupcakes LOVING the new name, what a combo :o

Had a bit of an emotional meltdown this morning b/c we didn't DTD last night because Dh was late home from work (10pm) and couldn't get it together to dtd this morning before I started work -- and I'm still 7 days pre-ov so it doesn't even matter. TTC is harrrrrrd!

GenericDietCola · 02/11/2011 11:19

Good luck Beedle and Maybe - hope AF continues to stay away.

Farfalla hope you got some last night...

BeedleTheBard · 02/11/2011 11:11

come back Ninja

NinjaChipmunk · 02/11/2011 11:08

munkiii my vote for sling goes to a ring sling or a soft structured carrier either with clips or a mei-tai. try here or here

cupcakes lovely to see you! FX for your results and thank you for your congrats. I was so shocked I nearly fell off the sofa when it happened!

Munkiii · 02/11/2011 11:05

They were next to the children's medicines.... My eyes wandered Grin

possiblemaybebaby · 02/11/2011 10:42

Brilliant that you have got all your tests sorted Cupcake I am going to ibe brooking for your results Smile

He is very cute, though his teeth are like needles, and every now and again, he will have a mental 10 minutes, when he likes to practice using his teeth! Not that you'd think it now he is curled up against the sofa asleep Grin Oh, and I love staffies, so affectionate!

Beedle I have heard that both legs are preferable Grin

CupcakesAndCocktails · 02/11/2011 10:37

Chants "test, test, test" at Beedle, Munkii and Maybe Grin

Maybe have just seen the picture of your pup, he is gorgeous! I love the name. I'm a total dog lover. I've got a 2 year old staffie cross who is sat at my feet as I type.

I got AF a few days ago & am now on CD3 so it will be full steam ahead for rat smacking in our house in about a week.

I had my pelvic ultrasound on monday, am just waiting for DH next semen analysis & we will be back to the doctors for all the results.

Did I see that Farfalla has her consultant appointment on thurs?

Biscuits have you had your scan yet or is it coming up?

BeedleTheBard · 02/11/2011 10:36

does it matter which leg maybe?

possiblemaybebaby · 02/11/2011 10:22

And how would you know that Munk??!!

possiblemaybebaby · 02/11/2011 10:21

Munkii how long are your cycles normally? Glad to hear you are more positive today Smile

I know the preggos on the no-brooking grads thread were having a discussion on slings [scary stalker emoticon] maybe pop over there and see what they say? Plus, I have heard if you rub yourself up and down one of their legs, you get up-duffed. Scientifically proved.

Munkiii · 02/11/2011 10:20

Oh and not that I'm encouraging you..... But sainsburys have £1 off their double pack of early testing kits so down to £3.50........

Grin
possiblemaybebaby · 02/11/2011 10:18

Cupcake! Wohoo, you're back! I hope you had a nice week away? You have been missed Smile

Scrambled that sounds horrid. Is anyone here actually feeling well at the moment?!

Beedle I can be very deceptive when I try Grin metal-mouth you say?

Munkiii · 02/11/2011 10:18

Morning all!

What amazing self restraint maybe keeping everything crossed for you.

Glad biscuits is better, poor scrambled though Sad

beadle hoping it works out either a BFP in the next day or that AF comes when convenient. Fingers crossed.

BEEDLE even damn autocorrect....

Hello cupcakes nice to see you!

Cd33 here. Nothing to report. Am feeling a bit more positive today. We'll see. Trying to find a sling or carrier for my 11mo so that is keeping me otherwise occupied.

CupcakesAndCocktails · 02/11/2011 09:42

Whoops forgot I have changed my name! Its Babysade Blush
