Keep You may confuse your CBFM slightly BUT given that you can't dtd until after you HSG then surely this month it doesn't really matter what the monitor says? just thinkin about how I can save you some pennys!!!

And as for your car window? if nothing was taken, I would think that a car has driven passed and kicked up a stone, which has hit your windscreen!! Especially if maybe there was a crack in it already? (I saw a man driving on the motorway with a massive crack right across his windscreen at eye level, mental!!)

Sweetie tempgate really is too much drama for me. I think you'll be ok if you just stick to a consistent method every day. I take mine straight after the beep. Although I took my temp twice this morning, because I spoke to DH during the first lot, stupid stupid!! Anyway my temp was 97.45 originally and then when I took it again it had already jumped to 97.78, how can a temp rise so much?

Maybe I think seeing the Queen makes me almost royal myself!! I've just gotta decide whether I can bothered to leave my nice cosy office!!

what a crap and useless thermometer sweetie

CBFM does not want a stick today, cd6 month 2. I am fascinating, yes yes. As i am going to a festival this weekend which will be cd8 and 9, and not likely to ov until cd15-18, and not allowed to swi until after HSG on cd13 anyway, I was not going to take it with me this weekend. Will this confuse it?

SweetieDoesIt · 12/07/2012 08:40

Aw geek sorry to here about the cp, but as the others say at least you know things are meeting up as they should

face I wouldnt have minded been a preggers bride either. If it important to you to have a DC then go for it and work the wedding around it. The wedding is only 1 day

Shocking discovery in temp gate this morning. After thermometer has beeped it kept going up, so it obviously hadnt reached the final temp. From now on an gunna leave it 5 mins and ignore beeps but am HmmConfused

keepitgoing · 12/07/2012 08:28

oh geek you should never feel you can't come on here! I'm so sorry to hear that you got your period, but isn't it a good thing that you had a CP, in a way? As in, better than not having one? it shows egg and sperm are meeting. You have another couple of months before you do ICSI, so you can still get a natural BFP! (Are you sure it's AF, and as we know you can have some bleeding anyway...)

so we woke up this morning to find that our car's back windscreen has been smashed. Very odd as we live in a quiet village, and the sat nav wasn't taken or anything. Is it possible for windscreens to just break?? Anyway the insurance company will change it for £75 (total cost over £500!) and it won't affect no claims bonus, so it could be worse, I suppose. Lucky I am working from home today so can be around when they come to change it!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 12/07/2012 07:54

Oh Geek I'm so sorry. It's so tough. Be kind to yourself though. Hope mrgeek is looking after you. You're going to get your baby, oh yes indeedy.

Sparks rubbing noses with royalty!

SecretSparkle · 12/07/2012 07:35

Oh geek Sad I'm so sorry to hear that, you poor poor thing!!! Was it def a line? Or was it an evap line (clutching a straws for you) be good to yourself honey, at least you know sperm is meeting egg!! Brooking for you!!!

No news this end, temps back to where they should be at this point in my cycle, the next couple of days if I'm def not diffed They'll start dropping....

Might try and see the queen today, something to do on my lunch break!!!

Geeklette · 12/07/2012 07:11

Thanks for asking after me ladies, I've been a bit rough the last couple of days and with all the fabulous news on the fred (well done on the amazing scan results, the positive-action-taking and the winning-over-of-consultants, and also the future house/country moves, parties and scan bookings) I didn't want to bring things down with a mememe post.

I got a STP (skinny thin positive) two days ago, then AF arrived yesterday (three days early) so I'm out. Bit of an emotional wreck at the the idea of a definite CP, after last month's suspected one, esp in light of the SA results. Got CD3 bloods booked for Friday morning, and MrGeek is going to do another JIAJ on Monday at the Priory in B'ham. ICSI here we come.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 11/07/2012 22:17

Also popping in to see where Geek is, was thinking about you today.

Face I wouldn't worry about being a pregnant bride. We weren't TTC when we got married, but it wouldn't have mattered or made the day less special.

Keep you make me chuckle. I always feel quite chi puffed with myself when MrMaybe gets a blow job.

Sweetie how are you lovley? Sorry about the temps. Is there anything else that could be affecting them?

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 21:39

face I didn't want to be a pregnant bride, BUT the more I think about it the more I think how lovely it would have been! I wouldn't hold off TTC, when we were planning our we had a 'scare' and when I sat down with hubby we realised it didn't matter, we'd have just modified the wedding and dealt with it!!

Yes geek where are you?

keepitgoing · 11/07/2012 21:29

geek hope you are ok, not seen you for a bit x

keepitgoing · 11/07/2012 21:25

Yes!! You'd be so gorgeous. So look, you either wait 10 months, or you don't worry. 10 months is a long time. So I'd go for it! Who knows how long these things will take anyway.

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 21:20

Really?

keepitgoing · 11/07/2012 21:17

face I'd love to be a pregnant bride. Think it'd be amazing!

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 21:14

Haha keep what a waste ;). I guess it mite be months before the clinic say we can start trying as there's no point before they've done their investigations. I'm probably trying to plan this pregnancy around the wedding when I don't need to.
How would all of you feel about being a preg bride?

SweetieDoesIt · 11/07/2012 20:47

keep my hsg it was obvious all ok as dye wizzed out of both tubes but u/s they said all ok but the dr said this showed lack of eggs.

Sparks battery died on old thermometer Sad that is why I needed a new one. I could try replacing battery I suppose, am sure it is just a watch battery.

keepitgoing · 11/07/2012 20:39

face for what its worth I'd do the mc tests, then start ttc straight away. Don't worry about the dress etc...

sweetie don't know about the temps, I like sparks idea of two charts for a month, true science! The Dr will write to us with all the test results but we won't get the letter till after we've left the UK, via my parents... But I'm hoping to get an idea from while I'm in the hsg and u/s. Did other people see anything?

imps maybe sparks glad to hear of all the pg symptoms.

Here's one to make you laugh, or maybe tmi... Well its been so long since poor dh had a bj, I gagged, choked, and laughed at the crucial moment last night... Swimmers went everywhere!!

Poor thing, our Dr yesterday didn't have a good bedside manner, she called his sa 'not very good', no reassurance even though in reality I think its not too bad.

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 20:03

sweetie I haven't got a clue re temps, could you use both at the same time and see the difference Hmm

My cat won't leave me alone tonight, he must be doing that thing where they become more affectionate around diffed women!!!

SweetieDoesIt · 11/07/2012 16:52

Scarlett so pleased you got answers to your questions, now you can mull things over properly in a considered manner and make the right decision for you guys. Good luck

Little big yeah for LittleBean and the scan, such good news for you and DH

keep things are moving at break neck speed for you too, still brooking for the ironic premove BFP. Hopefully you will get a clear picture of things before you overseas? All very exciting

Imps big stonking spots you say? Diffed for sure, there is never a truer sign - FACT

Solars sorry your clinic isn't playing fair, i thought the guidelines stated you have to start your IVF cycle before your 40th birthday. Hope your PCT reconsiders when they get your letter, fx for you my dear

face you are being so brave and practical, I really take my hat off to you

Well I have got a new thermometer and since then my temps have been all over the place, my old one didn't beep so I used to wait a full 5 mins before reading it, but my temps were very stable. The new one beeps when done, and the results are really irractic and all over the place. I am tempted to go back to ignoring the beep and just reading the result after 5 mins, scientists brookers what do you think?

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 16:09

haha. think it mite frighten some of the children and probably male guests! i bet its happened to someone though!
it annoys me how it all worked out really well date wise i was going to give birth in jan so had like four months to get back in shape. so pleased i had everything i wanted (saw the cutest little flower girl dresses!) now some bastard has taken it all away and its back to mentaling about trying do do both things

SecretSparkle · 11/07/2012 16:02

whooooaaaa don't count me out just yet, I'm 4dpo or 6dpo and am terribly bloated (nothing to do with the gallons of fizzy Ive been drinking lately)

How about it girls? Another Tripe Whammy?! Then I shall have to name my child Baby Maybe Imps Secret :o

Face this might be one of those things that you have to play by ear, like you say this cycle is out, but you dont know when your going to return to normal. Am I right in thinking that giving birth on your wedding day could just be the entertainment? I mean saves on booking a DJ :o

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 15:47

just working out dates to see how preg i mite or not be at my wedding depending when i get preg again urgh!!!!! its hard cos i dont know how long it mite take. but i also dont want to put it off for too long unless the doc says so. so im ruling this cycle out obvs but next one would give me a due date 3 days after wedding date not good. but also im taking a guess that my period will be 4wks after d&c like last time and go back to a 30 day cycle

cartoonface · 11/07/2012 14:30

wish there was a like button on her jen hehe

JenFraggle · 11/07/2012 14:07

2 spots? Sounds like twins to me

Hold the front page Imps

I too have symptoms at a possible 1DPO. Sore boobs already, sore throat, womble ache and my mouth bled really badly when I brushed my teeth this morning. This never happens. Looks like we are going to be preggo pals Imps

Face I would definitely push to get it checked. Though it is most likely to be perfectly fine.

Hope you are having fun hollibobs Olives

Bartlet come back, don't go to netmums. Nooooooooooooo
