July 2012 flight - continued...

loulou and moo, I understand why you feel the need to take a back seat for a bit; it will drive you scatty if you let it. Do enjoy Christmas though - have a lovely lovely time, and here's to a Big Fat Positive New Year (in all ways).

Moo I completely get where you're coming from- if your body's not giving you any signs of ov then it's only natural to feel like it's never going to happen. But look at it this way - you've had an ultrasound in which nothing came up - your ovaries are looking good girl, and you've got a gynaecological appointment in the New Year, where I'm sure they can throw some light on why you don't appear to be ov-ing and help fix it - I've heard amazing things about Clomid, for example. A friend of mine was TTC in her 40's and wasn't Ov-ing, went on Clomid and conceived.

Hi count - sounds like you're getting into the Christmassy swing of things, glad to hear that even in the throes of AF you're still thinking positively.

Egg emo can mean pg too remember! I always get well over emo when I'm pg - all those hormones!!

Notin - so we both ov-ed early?!! Don't know if that's a good sign, but very glad to have a testing buddy!!

Lil - how's it going?! Have you tested yet??!!!

Well this time last month (7dpo) my temp plumetted and AF started 5 days early! Today my temp is still high, so even if I don't get my BFP this month, at least my cycles are regulating.

Lots of to those who are low and lots of all round. You guys are all ace; I've never felt so close to a group of people I haven't met before - which is sickeningly corny, but true!!

festie sounds good to me - i really think you should test, even if it's BFN now, with those symptoms its looking good!!

Loulou i know exactly how you feel!! Take some time out and come back and regale us with Xmas stories when you are ready!!

As for me, temp dropped dramatically this morning, still no sign of ov, so I am sorry to say that I am going to bow out of TTC until the New Year, just do not need the stress of it all this close to Xmas when I have a thousand other things going on. By the looks of things, i just don't ov, so I am hoping that the Gyneacologist can help, although I am concerned that he might just tell me to come back in 3 months when I have been trying for a year (will only be 9 months in by my appointment!) I am feeling a little bit low and i shouldn't, it's bloody Xmas after all, but I just have this niggling voice in the back of my head telling me that it's never going to happen and that I should be happy with my lot, but i don;t have any DC to be happy with

I will pop in to see how you are all fairing and to see some more of those festive BFPs coming through, but for now adieu!!

Thanks for all the support, comments and laughs - will maybe see some of you in the New Year!!! xxx

Woah! Definite nausea tonight and a sharp stabbing pain in my uterine area. Trying SO hard not to SS, but it's nigh on impossible when the symptoms are smacking me in the face like this...

Glimpers congrats!!!!! Great news. Here's hoping for mnore BFPs the next few weeks (and in Jan for those of us out of the game this month )

I've decided to lay off the MNing for the next couple of weeks. I'll definitely check in and probably won't be able to resist posting but I'm feeling a bit stressed out that nothing's happened for us yet - even though I rationally know it's only been a couple of months that my cycles have been back to anywhere near normal after I stopped the pill. Anyway, I think it'll do me good to step back for a couple of weeks to forget about TTC over xmas and give myself a proper holiday from it all.

Still looking forward to seeing more BFPs soon though :)

hi all -
Glimpers - lol i know you dh has no doubts really maybe it was such a shock after all the TTC before!!!!!!!Twins ohhhh how exciting!!!!!! glad your staying here.
Kitchen - santa run sounds like ermmmmmm fun!!!!!!!
Lili- i have a feeling you'll be the next BFP!!!!! ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
MooWoo- all those signs seem positive maybe yeh ov-ing i really hope so!
Eggs- have all crossed that AF wont turn up and BFP will instead!!!!!!!
choir christmas songs was lovely, putting me in the right mood to start sorting out christmas bits!!!!! oh must remember christmas crackers!!!!!!
well AF is in full swing and soooo need to make sure i try to get my dates in order for my BFP in jan 2012!!!!!!

Evening. Nooooo I cried watching a Muppet Christmas Carol... Mean my AF is coming.

Good luck for tomorrow morning Liliana its sounding very hopeful to me! I think Glimpers has opened the floodgates and we'll have loads of BFP's now! Glad to hear the IL's have gone, hopefully now you can relax and enjoy things!

Moo fingers crossed that temp finally does what its meant to!!

festie my AF is now due the same day as yours as I ov'd much earlier than I usually do. Hope we both get good news.

I did a santa run today, it was great fun, couldn't keep up with my 8 year old nephew though. I think my new year resolution better be to get fit!

Sorry lil cross posted there. You are NOT being unreasonable - bloody cheek! I don't get how people can behave like that!

I think you sound potentially a bit pg - though I know af arriving signs are virtually the same, the bitch!

Ooh, fingers very firmly crossed!

Oh I do hope it's on the closed side of open!

Um, I'm not sure exactly when af is due as my cycles have been so fucked up lately. But as it's getting back to normal, I'm guessing I'm back to a 12 day LP, so an approximate af date of 24th!

I would be SO happy if you got a clear ovulatory chart moo - I know the last few months it's felt so hopeless with no clear ov, so I've had a small flavour of how that feels. Frustrating is an understatement! xx

Not tested yet as IL have been here so will do one tomorrow if still no af. I have been to the loo about 20 times today and keep expecting to find af has arrived. Getting some af style cramps and then they leave. Not got any pg signs so deep down don't believe I am

IL have finally left after spending all weekend moaning how cold our house is. Pretty annoyed as Dh went to loads of effort putting an electric blanket in their bed, chopping logs for a fire and putting upstairs and downstairs heating on (we never have it upstairs and only rarely downstairs as it costs so much) They even went and bought a fan heater and insisted on keeping it on all night (god knows what it's done to the electric bill) AIBU? Maybe, just a bit pissed off that all the effort DH went to wasn't appreciated and it really was not that cold

Hope you have ov'd moo.

Def need to test before christmas festie Sure that anything you ate would not cause any probs this early and as moo said you don't want a BFN on christmas day.

Glimpers I always wanted a twin when I was little but not sure I would as a parent! OTOH I'm sure you would cope with no probs and love them to bits if you did have them. You'll have to let us know when you have your scans.

I think you should test before Sunday festie just in case it starts out as a BFN, I would not want to see that on Xmas day!!!! When is AF due?

CP is kind of open/closed! Not sure what to think!! Just want to ov for now! Once that happens I can properly focus in getting a BFP!!

Thanks mool! My head is grateful too!

I hope your cervix behaves itself and stays closed!

I temped 21/2 hours later than usual and my temp was 98.20f. The adjuster puts it as 97.7f which looks like a cute little implantation dip!

Although I was good with the alcohol, I did eat pâté, blue cheese and seafood! Oh well. I do hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment, but I've got a feeling I am. Still, should be able to test on thurs/fri, though I should wait til sun but I know I won't

Morning all!! This time next week we will all be excitedly ripping open presents and drinking champagne and feasting on lovely turkey, ham and other delights!!!

Well done festie for only having a couple of drinks last night!! I would leave the temp as it is, by the sounds of it, it would have been high anyway. How much later did you temp??

Lil when do you test?

Well I had a lovely day at our family Xmas do; tried to keep drinking to a minimum, but these things never go as planned, although did only have a couple of glasses and a few more when I got home

Temped slightly later than planned this morning, temp is still on the rise (really really hope that it's not down to the alcohol.........again). My boobs are starting to feel tender as well, and I am sure that I am getting some light, but definitely noticeable, cramping in the abdominal region. Don't want to get too excited as temp could drop tomorrow and I am back to square one!! Have not been for a turtle yet, will do so after I have had my coffee

Good morning, and a massive woo hoo to glimpers! Well done girl, you've turned this thread around, I can feel it!

Well I was a very good girl last night and only had 2 drinks, so my little blastocyst (if it exists ) is safe!

I took my temperature really late this morning so obviously it's shot up. How do people feel about temperature adjusters? More accurate to use one to adjust it, or just leave the anomalous temperature there?

Hope everyone's having a fab weekend. Any more testers?

Well done for voting on our behalf moo so glad the luscious Harry won!!
Sorry for being crap lil but have you POAS yet? When was AF due?
Thank you for the encouraging words moo I am a twin so my DM is of the opinion it would be fine not convinced on that one with a 5 yr old DD as well!
Off to go and get my hair done this morning and then get some food shopping done this afternoon.
7 sleeps to Santa woohoooooo!!!

Yay! Harry won!! (well done moo for voting - I never have)

Yay! Glimpers is staying on board

Hmm, STILL no AF ...

Oh glimpers do not fret, I think twins would be lovely (DH's cousins twins are 1 now and gorgeous!!) try and relax (easier said than done, I know!!!) over the Xmas festive period and focus on stating happy and healthy!!! Please, I would like just 1 but would be thrilled if there were ever 2 in there

HARRY TO WIN!!!! Voted for him too - have never voted before!!!!

Loving Strictly too.... Especially Harry
Thank you for letting me stay
There is no question that it is DH's despite him saying it's the 'lodgers' (that I got to stay apparently whilst he was away with work ) the only worry is if it's more than 1 as twins run in my family
Getting really excited about Christmas now and can't wait for this time next week

Of course you can't leave glimpers we need you to spread your pg hormones among the rest of us!

Sounds good moowoo

Hoping we all get a BFP under the christmas tree this year

I'm loving strictly tonight too, can't wait for the show dances

Oh and glimpers pleeeeaaase don't leave

Ah thanks everyone!! Was at a family Xmas do all afternoon and have a had a few beverages, hoping though that the fact it was mainly wine and that I have eaten shed loads that my temp is not affected too much tomorrow morning!!

count hope you have a lovely lovely birthday!!

glimpers do the CBDs count from pretend conception? What I mean is do they do a bit of guess work? I would not worry about the actual date they give!! You know that you dtd with DH and that's all that matters!! Wait until you have a scan and then worry

LOVING Harry on strictly tonight!!!!

Glimpers congrats!!!

I'm four days away from my AF. between that and all the cleaning for the holidays, family coming over its funny that my AF will be adding cramps to the stress of it all. :) a bfp would be a much better present.

ohhh Glimpers - Huge congrats! and there is you just not feeling that you stood a chance as totally relaxed just about to TTC again and bang!!! BFP!!!
i think i need to do that go away and just chill!!!!!
have been feeling maybe just stop the whole pressure and thinking about it!
loulou- im sorry its just not flippin fair!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lili- all that baileys ouch!!!!!!! i had zero 2 drink and ended up last night throwing up and going to bed with a sore head!!!!!
kitchen - sorry about the tablet - im sure you will be fine!!!!!! most time just a warning that is on the side of everything we eat now!!!
MOOWOO- i really hope its a good sign for you and dont count yourself out just yet it only take one time!!!!!!! all crossed for you!
snow was falling yesterday but didnt settle thank God!!!!!!
my bday weekend - so off to get pampered!!!! bye all xxx

mooley that sounds really positive, fingers crossed!! Girl swimmers can last up to 5 days so don't think you've missed the boat!
I am soo jealous you've had snow
I love doing jigsaws too, was raised on them, but sadly don't get to do anything other than Disney Princess or The Hungry Caterpillar these days
Had a slight sick in the mouth moment reading about having worms! Guess that means I need to stay off the turps too then??
Just done a CBdigi and it said Pregnant 3+ which is a bit as DH only got back from his work trip 3 weeks ago today and we didn't DTD until the Sunday night?!
Am I ok to stay on here with you ladies please?

MORNING ALL!!!!!!!!! We had snow yesterday so really starting to look Christmassy!!!

Glimpers Eeeeeeeeeeek, congrats absolutely fantastic news!!!

Have not managed to finish the jigsaw yet, almost there though - is a lovely country christmas scene, with ice skaters, mince pie sellers, snowmen, santa in the sky and snow, snow, snow!!!! Wow, 3000 pieces, I would love to have a crack at one of those, but I only have the means for 1000 at the moment, really need to get one of those boards that you can roll up!!!

loulou sorry your cycle seems to be all over the place, and that you have had another BFN!! It's not bloody fair!!

festie when do you test?? Those signs to seem positive, but then don't want to get your hopes up!!!!

Well...........some possible exciting news, after disregarding my high temp following my dip yesterday, it rose again today and after a quick turtle this morning my CP is high, soft and definitely definitely closed!!! Think i might have finally ov'd (although not getting too excited, have been here many a time before!) Sadly though, if I have, then i don't hold out much hope as we only managed to DTD on Tuesday, and if I ov'd yesterday then that's a whole 3 days before - my left side, where I think my ovary is located, was very sore all last night, a kind of short, sharp pinching sensation!! Not sure if this means anything at all though, might just be my cruel, cruel mind playing tricks with me......we shall see!!!

If I have been successful in ov'ing though, my AF due date would be 31st December, might be a nice New Year surprise!!!

Rusulka I will definitely try not to drink any turps!!!
