July 2012 flight - continued...

hey loulou - when I got my BFP for DS I POAS 13 DPO. I did POAS 10 DPO and got BFN BUT i was using a 'test from the day you're due' one. If you use first response it may pick up an earlier result.

how's your energy? When i fell pregnant in the summer (but MC) I knew i was pregnant as i was shattered! just couldn't stay awake without an afternoon nap!

all fine here - clock watching as i want to get home to DS and DH. God i'd love another little one to add to my lovely family.

does anyone else on this thread allow themselves to think "what would i call a baby?" or "would i like a boy or a girl?" or am i the only one silly enough to have those thoughts before i am even pregnant??

Hello?

Bit quiet in here today ladies! Everyone ok? Still getting crampy tummy. Was meant to go for lunchtime run but chickened out as achy tummy and (well mostly) cold and horribly grey and drizzly outside.

Question for those in the group who've had kids: when did you POAS? Just wondering if I can get away with trying at the end of this week when I'll be 10/11 DPO or whether I should just wait till the 18th when AF's due (soooo impatient).

I'm planning a hot shower and a hot choc when I get home - brrrrrr

fest I am sorry to hear dear I can imagine what your going through

Oh festie damn those temps! But you are right, the stress and emotions that you are feeling right now can delay ov! I would keep temping and SWIing and taking each day as it comes!! The low, low temp could mean that ov is imminent!! Hang in there kid!!!

I had a low temp this morning but still no smiley face on the OPK i know i am only on CD11 but, give me a break please body and ov early for a change!!

well we didn't get round to dtd last night. We were both soooo shattered and agreed that we have really enjoyed all the SWI this month and didn't want to ruin it with him pounding away just for the sake of one last throw of the dice....

we'll see though. I am feeling positive for once about it!

God knows, maybe I'm having a delayed ov, I seemed to gear up to it, and then of course, my Dad died. That kind of thing can delay ovulation, can't it? Just have to wait and see.....

ouch fest hang in there, maybe you did when it was raised but just didnt get the peak reading . fingers crossed

Right, I am now officially utterly Pissed off! My temp, although higher than yesterday's pathetic effort is low low low. I feel like I'm never gonna ov again!

Liliana1 - I hear you with the boob prodding! I am totally doing that too, AF due anytime from Thursday and am so desperately trying not to SS but am sure boobs are a bit sore and have been v emotional this weekend - although we have a lot going on at the moment which could well be the reason for that!

Love the idea of sneaky sesh whilst parents at Church!

Hi all! ilanthe hope you get on ok tomorrow - sounds like you made the most of today though :)

Hi again floral - nice to have you back

berries - agreed, you can't go wrong with one more SWI for good measure. Think I am at the same point in my cycle as you so will see if we both have enough energy later!

SS watch.... my abdomen has been feeling very strange since Sunday morning... very tender and 'full' - not my stomach but womb area - like just before AF comes. Had my tummy massaged on Sunday and it was horrible - felt like way too much pressure in that area..

I've had today off - lovely to have a bit of a break even if only one day! Here's hoping the next four days whizz by - I want to spend this weekend doing wintery things now that the cold weather is here!

ilanthe so sorry you've had such a rough time. At least you should have some answers tomorrow. Take care and have a relaxed evening with lots of tea and hugs. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

mooley a quickie while parents are at mass is a must - it's the only way I used to get any action when I lived at home!!

Not started ss yet OK honestly, I'm only about 4 days po but have been having a subtle prod of the boobs to see if they are sore yet! (They will be from all the prodding soon )

Oh Ilanthe get well soon sorry that you are having a rough time of it at the moment!!! We are here if you need to unload!!

Ilanthe rest up hun so sorry with what u are going through.

mooley I hear you... I know I shouldn't be so impatient being only 29 but I want a bucket load of kids (that's how I described it to my GP after six cycles of bfn) And might I add I never thought I be like this I thought I be the London commuter til I retire at 50. Now every month I think about SWI and reading up on fertility studies.

Afternoon ladies.

I was sent home from the hospital this morning without any of my procedures carried out as they were very concerned about my bleeding, which has got very heavy, and pain, which spread overnight into my back, shoulders and legs. I have had some bloods taken and have an appointment tomorrow morning at the EPU for an ultrasound. It seems that they suspect miscarriage but want to rule out ectopic. My cautery, etc will be rescheduled.

I was back home by 9am and have taken my mind off it by dosing myself up on paracetemol, picking my DS up from nursery (where he was elbow deep in messy play and consequently somewhat disappointed by my arrival ) and meeting a friend for coffee and lunch. Home now with a napping DS and I'm going to have a cup of tea and put my feet up.

Mooley - my DH's parents are RC and we have used their absence at religious events to get some action in.

Thanks to everyone else who has been nice to me!

berries - yes I am i had a name change as i didn't really like GTR and wanted to be more creative!!!

mooley - are you GTR? did i miss something??!!

so far so good egg just pre-occupied with TTC and wanting to be pg soooooo much!!! It's very distracting! Can't think of anything else at the moment!!! I know i will only get worse when it does eventually happen!!!

Welcome Floral hope everyones having a stress free day.

WOOOHOOO Floral great to have you back!!

Rusulka lol!!! I have been doing that a lot too; to the last Harry Potter and to the BBC version of Emma yesterday. Then again last night whilst listening to Bruce Forsythe singing!!!

Hello all. As some may remember AF showed up here on 20th October and DH and I weren't sure whether to try again or wait til next summer. Anyway we decided to give it another try so I'm back on the July plane!! AF due 17th November. Thanks for having me .

I just blubbed over a video game trailer! What a wuss...

Then I watched it again a few hours later and did the same thing. Can't SS though, as only CD5, lol!

-can always tell when someones on there phone, they auto correct shagging

fest look at you, rebel shabbily when your patents aren't home. lol it's amazing how batty I have become. I give my DH lunch money during the week (yes you heard right) and because we have been ED I mentioned that I throw in an extra fiver today... So yes my DH mentions in bed last night after dtd that he's getting an really good sandwich tomorrow. He is never going to let this joke die.

Egg Charting 4 mo, only temping the last two.

Berries sounds like you've done plenty tbh. I think you've got it covered!

Mooley - :o at going at it while parents are at Mass!!!!!

Difficult, isn't it?! I mean, we could be really optimistic, say I ov-ed CD14, and today is a lovely 5dpo implantation dip!!! But, realistically, I think you're probably right, though my CM and CP would suggest ov's already happened! Who knows? We SWI-ed last night, so I'm hoping I've got it covered. Got to pick my brother up today; he's staying tonight, and we're going to help clear my Dad's flat tomorrow, so lots of driving today and tomorrow. Think I may have to hope we've done all we can this month!

Another thing. Because we SWI-ed, I slept naked, and woke up feeling quite cold. Having googled it; this can mess with your temps, sending them lower, so between that and the alcohol, God only knows what's going on!
