'Anyone trying...... and want to talk about it No6'!!!!!

Well it has certainly kept AF at bay until now

Nothing happened yet - still getting the odd ache but i am only getting one every couple of hours and its only lasting for a few minutes - usually when i'm due on i get constant aches for days !

C'mon, someone test - we need another graduate since Niknik's left us

janey - I have a few days off and need to spend an hour catching up!

Welcome all the new recruits!

Good luck Jem, sibble & everyone

I got my progesterone results back - 41. Doc sais they are ok but will browse the web now for more info. Am thinking of making an appt at fertility centre in Jan.

Did our chanting work Jems?

Morning - I'm croaking with a v sore throat after chanting until midnight. My calender is back now and I found I am on day 28 so have blown it this month. Hope you are ok Sibble. I didn't find out I was pg until 2nd Jan after drinking a whole bottle of champagne on Christmas day and then about 6 pints of beer on Boxing day plus NYE and my DS was and still is perfect. Worrying does more harm than anything else!! How are you Jems? Sorry Quackers I know nothing about any charts as you can tell

Helloooooo All!

Well AF arrived on Saturday bang on time! My cycle has been amazingly predicatable and regular since having ds! I've got a 30 day cycle..... so am I right in assuming that I should ovulate approx 14 days from the 1st day of AF????

I'm such an amateur!

Good luck Jems, Quacks and all the rest - fingers really crossed for you - you were all so supportive of me when I was trying.........so all the very best

Apologies - very long.

Sibble - do the test!!!! I for one would be so pleased if it happened for you this month. If it does don't worry about the drinking! If it doesn't at least dh is willing to try again. I will be logging in the morning (uk time) to check.

Good luck to everybody else trying and those of you waiting.

My af arrived like clockwork yesterday but didn't expect to be pregnant this month as having well deserved drinkees after early miscarriage last month. Wasn't going to try this month as didn't want August baby but just worked dates out with dh and assuming I ovulate on day 18/20 (which is my norm) then any expected dod would be end of August - both my previous births have been 11 and 14 days late so no point hanging around.

For those of you who have been trying for ages and have not used them I would strongly recommend you try some kind of ovulation kit/persona. You can learn so much about your cycle. Even on a regular 28 day cycle ovulation times can vary greatly.

As for the drinking - not sure if this is true or not but my friend was told when she went for preliminary fertility investigations that the worst time to drink in the first couple of weeks of pregnancy was when the egg was forming. Alchol has been shown to affect conception rates. I seem to think it affects a man's sperm as well but they have to be careful for up to three months. So there you go.

I'm on Day 30 and waiting for AF (or PG!)too, but hoping it's not going to be another 42-day cycle! It seems there are so many of us waiting.

How did Cinnamon get on? She was going to test this last weekend?

Happy waiting everyone.

Wey-hey Ladies......... Jems back!!!

DP in the bath so being quick - haven't explained the whole mumsnet thing yet

Sounds good sibble - fingers crossed for you - maybe having the wine was a good thing - they say things happen when u least expect it etc.

I have had a glass of wine tonight - feel a bit bad myself - don't usually, maybe its a sign??

Hope everyone's still dancing and chanting

sibble I found out I was up the duff with dd about 3 days after our annual xmas drinks party, I had been drinking from noon to midnight! Don't worry love, it'll be fine!

dont worry sibble. i had loads of red wine about a week after conception. a friend of mine went on a complete bender when she was about a month pregs and didnt know. her baby is fine. saw a friend last night who is a nurse and she said that even women who are complete alcoholics can end up having perfectly normal babies. docs tell them not to go cold turkey but to cut down on booze as much as can, as this is better for the baby than the body having withdrawal symptoms!!

Hi everybody. Know what everybody means about irregular cycles - thought I had got back to 28 days after m/c so did test friday and saturday as a/f due monday (yesterday NZ time). Drank like a fish Sat night at posh do - now tuesday, no A/F, boobs like Dolly parton etc.... Will feel so bad if pregnant as have hardly drunk at all for last 6 motnhs of trying tehn to blow it.... Will buy test on way home from work... had to buy bigger bra last week as boobs so big but just thought I was putting on weight...
oh blimey...am excited but will spend the next 9 months worried if now pregnant...all for the sake of pfree bubbly

I'm off now ladies - got internet access at home now so will try and log back in later!

Keep chanting - i will know if your not

blimey, are you lot having a party!! you are funny. good luck Jems, sounds really really good to me!
Quacks, hope this is your month too and of course the rest of you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And you Quacks........louder, louder......
Aunty Flo, off you go,
Bugger off away from me,
Aunty Flo, no, no, no,
As far , as far away can be!!!!!!

AUNT FLO, OFF YOU GO
BUGGER OFF AWAY FROM ME,
AUNT FLO, NO, NO, NO
AS FAR, AS FAR CAN BE!!!!!!

At least you girls cheer me up!

I am quacks but it would just be a waste when i've only got another 3 days to wait anyway!

I hate this bit every single month - i wish i could fall asleep and wake up when af is meant to arrive to see if the little bitch has paid a visit or not and just sleep through all the waiting and wondering ! !

Carry on Helsbels - i can't quite hear you yet

doing anti af chant now but getting funny looks off the guys I work with!!

Well only 3 days til i will find out once and for all!

Will be sods law that this month my cycles is 39 days!

Make sure you chant something with your anti-af dance

Wow! I've gone 32, 33, 33,31, 45 (I think or 44)now on 28 (I think) my calender has blown up temporarily so a bit vague and confused!

No wonder we don't know what to do, when to bd, when to test etc. It's all too complicated. Hang in there - if not this month, theres always next - I know it's no help but at least it's true.
