Pipbin, I am sure this will be the cycle for you!!
Congrats Janey, BelissimaLol and Rache.

I am on the two week wait (taps foot impatiently), although I am doubtful about this cycle as due to busy schedules things didn´t go as planned.

What are your experiences with taking your body temp as a way of finding out when you ovulate? Thinking about doing this from now on as opposed to dancing every other day.

Bunnygirlie · 27/11/2012 13:22

Oh no Pip that is pants!

Brave I don't hold out much hope to be honest, ov week was hideous and I am certain it didn't happen!

I am losing treck of who is PG, due to POAS etc, might nees a refresh Smile

Thanks guys.
Right Winkle this is the cycle for you and me. We will do it!

I am upset but on the upside, this is a 28 day cycle again, if I'd got my BFP this time I would have been due 6 August, this cycle would be the beginning of September, which is much better. 6 weeks summer holiday, one day back at work, then maternity leave. Much better.

captainmoll · 27/11/2012 10:05

Sorry Pip, it really sucks. I can feel the hag prowling around too. Just trying to hang to that last thread of hope..

Janey I am so relieved for you!

BraveLilBear · 27/11/2012 09:56

Oh Pip Sad sorry she came after all that teasing. The absolute definition of evil witch.

Great news on the digi Blol! Seems real to me!

Fx for you Bunnygirlie you're not out til she moves in...

winkle2 · 27/11/2012 09:14

So sorry pip. I know how you feel. We're in month 16 together x

Good news re the scans.

Hi to all the newbies.

Sorry I don't post much but just started a new job so mega busy.

Bunnygirlie · 27/11/2012 08:39

Think I'm out, due saturday, bit pink when wiped this morn :-(

BelissimaLol · 27/11/2012 08:21

Oh no pip Sad. Was hoping we would be bfp twins!!!!
Did a digi this morning. 2-3 weeks. OMG is this real?

janey1234 · 27/11/2012 08:19

Oh pip, I'm so sorry. Was really hoping it was your turn Sad
(hugs)

navis176 · 27/11/2012 07:56

Janey - phew!

Pip - boo!

Pipbin · 27/11/2012 07:29

AF is here.

Bunnygirlie · 26/11/2012 22:53

Crikey what a busy day I have missed!

Rach and Janey so happy to hear all ok Smile

It's all such a worry, the 2ww wait worry, then the worry till 12 week scan, then the next 6 months, the birth, and then worry worry worry forever! My friends 4month old was rushed into hospital yesterday, just hours after I was having a cuddle, can't imagine what she is going through. I guess you don't know the real meaning of stress till you have children.

Fingers crossed for a few more BFPs this month, not many days left though :-(

P.s. B name hasn't helped me much lol

Rache1S · 26/11/2012 21:18

That's such good news Janey, I would have felt really terrible if my good news had been followed by bad news for you. I think I can safely say I know how relieved you are! Grin Grin

What a great day this has turned out to be. We just need good news for Pip to top it all off now!

Pipbin · 26/11/2012 21:15

Wonderful news Janey. Glad you managed to get one.

My class was full of pregnant women talking babies after school, I didn't mind in the slightest and they know I'm trying so it was nice to be in the conversation.

Spotting seems to have stopped but I'm very very sure AF is on her way.

MeanMrsMustard · 26/11/2012 21:05

Oh, and fab news Janey - got distracted half way through my message so didn't see your update.

MeanMrsMustard · 26/11/2012 21:02

Thanks for the welcome.
Its great to join your thread on the day of a bfp and a healthy scan! Congratulations lol and Rache. Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting...

I went to drop a card and present to a friend tonight who has just had a little boy. Baby was sleeping, but what a sweetie! I hope I don't have to wait too long before I get my own
Right, off to think of a B based name change!

happylass · 26/11/2012 21:01

Excellent news Janey Grin

HazleNutt · 26/11/2012 20:58

excellent Janey!

Quodlibet · 26/11/2012 20:47

Fantastic news Janey, I'm really relieved for you!
All in all a good day for the Elderberries - two heartbeats and a BFP.

janey1234 · 26/11/2012 20:41

Just seen your post pip - thank you. Not expecting to be with get at he time, bit instead to drive her home after and be there for support if it's not good news...

janey1234 · 26/11/2012 20:39

Ok, so I was being ridiculous, all is ok. Don't remember ever being this relieved, or this happy.

Saw the heartbeat, heard the heartbeat (didn't happen last time) and it measured to the exact day (didn't happen last time). So apparently in very lucky that I just don't have any symptoms Smile

Thanks for all the messages

Pipbin · 26/11/2012 20:25

Welcome MrsMustard.

Brilliant news Rache so glad everything is ok.

Spotting has slowed to what seems like EWCM with spotting mixed in. Still sure AF will be here tomorrow.

Janey I've had the procedure your friend is going to have. Tell her not to worry too much. Like an uncomfortable smear if nothing else really.
When I went though I took DH with me but he had to wait in the main waiting area while I went off to a smaller one where I got changed. So I'm not sure how much you are going to see your friend. Also there is a nurse on hand with a cup of tea afterwards!
Still I hope you get your scan sorted.

HazleNutt · 26/11/2012 20:03

Lol it's fine, unless your doc tells you differently. Remember to drink a lot. I actually teach several fitness classes like Bodypump, combat and zumba and am not planning to stop any time soon.

As captain and navis said, it is not recommended to start anything new - well, new intensive classes, you are of course allowed to start with pregnancy yoga and similar.

navis176 · 26/11/2012 19:54

Lol - yep, as Moll says, exercise is good - but I think there is something about making sure you don't raise your body temperature too much - I think that's why it's fine to carry on with whatever exercise you do already but not start something new...

captainmoll · 26/11/2012 19:10

Rache - PHEW!
Janey really hoping I can have the same reaction to your scan - thinking of you!
I'm definitely feeling unusual today - hard to describe quite what I mean by that, but I'm hoping it's a sign of impending BFP and I am going to ignore obvious AF symptoms in total denial keep thinking positive (!) until AF turns up. Only a week til I can test! (a weeeeeeeek.. can't believe how slow the 6 days since OV have gone! feels like a month!)

navis mountains sound lovely! Jealous!
Blol I do remember reading something about exercise being fine as long as your heart-rate doesn't go over a certain level, but I'm sure the PG ladies on the thread will have more useful info. I guess it's largely up to how you feel? If you're tired, give yourself a break..
