Ttc after recent mc, for Creme egg scoffers, shared confusion and joint cursing of mother nature

I've got the cb digi opk and I think it says you can do it anytime but best if you haven't peed for a few hours before?

Also- I'm unclear about whether it's got some sort of 'memory' in that you're supposed to start using it before the surge so it has a baseline and therefore knows a surge is higher than normal. Do you know anything about that?

Hi booty, your hospital appt sounds like a very positive move. at shagufta !!

booty that's a great dr name!! Dr Shagoften would be good ha!!

Similar story here thunder we managed to finish a bottle of red while cooking tea, then 'had' to open another for the actual meal! Glad I'm off work today! I'm cd22 today, scooting off to boots to get my new ov testing toy. Should I wait til tomorrow morning to test again or is anytime good with clearblue?

Hi again all - thanks loads for the lovely welcomes! Hope everyone had a lovely valentines day - I've got a cold man flu at the moment so was in bed by 8.30 on my own last night lol, the hot water bottle was as hot as it got under the covers sadly

Choccremeeggbag - I'm on cd03 at the mo - I know what you mean re wishing your life away!

On a positive note I went to sign up to a new hospital yesterday (I'm actually a UK expat in the Middle East) & have a HSG booked in for Thurs to have a look see. I'm ovulating no probs & hubby is all ok (much to his relief) so not sure why there are no more stickies. Pretty sure it's my age (34!) however, my new Dr is the aptly named Dr Shagufta which I'm hoping is a good sigh teeheeeee

Morning all. Well I feel a bit rough- OH produced a bottle of champagne as well as the lovely bottle of red last night. It was worth it though!

Ahhh coffee good stuff with the flowers etc, that's sweet!

janie what day are you on now? I reckon the cb opk is a good idea- take away the confusion?

Oh how lovely coffee ! I'm loving all the non pg food and drinks!!

And thanks for the cheese thunder I actually ate and drank so much that I got a sore tummy!

My phone app says I'm due to Ov next week however I thought I'd do a cheapy opk this morning and got
a double liner... Might go and get a clear blue Ov kit just cos obvious spending more money will guarantee pregnancy this month haha maybe my birthday weekend away might be filled with more lovin than I originally thought!! DH won't know what's hit him!!

hey hey, happy Vday everybody (for yesterday!) Liking the name changes.

I got home from a work trip yesterday evening to find OH cooking me a nice rare steak and having bought me flowers. This is kind of unprecedented. There was also wine and blue cheese. Seems to be a bit of a pattern here!

And I think I'm about to o so perfect timing for the weekend. Except now I have a rotten cold so don't feel like it. Never mind! Functional sex for the purposes of procreating it is!

hey everyone - happy V day, Dh and I managed to buy each other the same card which amused us no end :) we had a tasty slimming world friendly dinner (lost 4 lbs this week!).

yorkie so sorry about your FIL, we're here if you need us you don't have to be talking about ttc. Look after each other xx

I'm on CD 12, following the sperm meets egg plan, very feint line on the opk today (nothing previous 2 days) but copious EWCM yesterday - who knows...

Today I was attempting to poas (opk) whilst bathing DD, she is in spectacular tantrum form of late, this particular one was because I wouldn't let her scramble unaided out of the bath to flush mummy's wee wee. Oh the irony of attempting to determine ovulation in the vain hope of conceiving DC2 whilst blithely allowing DC1 to risk life and limb thrashing about in a frenzy of the unfairness of pretty much everything

I'm liking the name changes, ladies! Hoping all our luck is changing for the better.

Yorkie I'm really sorry to hear about your FIL

haha thunder dammit i forgot to get cheese! if i could be arsed i'd make chocolate mousse with raw egg whites just to make a point!! enjoy mr & mrs thunder!!

yorkie that is so shitty. Poor you and DH. Sending lots of thoughts and your way. Always feel free to pop back and say hello/have a rant or whatever.

janie, we're having scallops, red wine and rare steak too! AND pâté and Camembert and blue cheese. Pg banned food a go-go!

Oh yorkie hope you are ok, hope to see you back soon..

DH managed a card and Chocolate Orange this morning, he has high hopes for these evening as AF has finally gone. So now doing my pre-match warm up exercises while feeding DS. Will also make some kind of dint in the calorie overload as I am also working through the segments

Hope everyone is having a lovely valentines xx

Oops obv I didn't mean to write asbestos...stupid phone. As best as...

Aw yorkie I'm so sorry to hear your news, how awful. Hope you and dh are coping asbestos as you can in this difficult time. Keep in touch xx

thunder I'm having a right giggle at your start to v day!! And nice name!! I have a good feeling about these baking names :) now where's my glass of Pinot noir, scallops and rare steak...

Hey all, sorry to hear all the tough times everyone has been going through.

Unfortunately we've had to come back from our honeymoon early as DH's father has v suddenly become seriously ill and prognosis is not good. I'm not going to be on the thread for a while as ttc is obv on hold but wanted to wish you all the v best of luck in your ttc and fx future/current healthy pgs. x

Hey shell, you alright duck? Feeling a bit better? Good luck with the turbo sperm...

Just laughed out loud at thunderbuns ha ha

How about this? Baking, dtd AND pg related?

Valentines...

Me: happy Valentines day my lovely
Him: it's not valentines day til tomorrow.

Nuff said? We're having yummy food tonight- organised and cooked by he.

Hey janie and tins

there we go... baking and valentines themed! xx

hey thunder good to see (?) you!! and glad that your OH is back in the game!! double fun next month to make up for it then eh!!

we're heading off this weekend for my birthday (not valentines!) but got a nice m&s meal deal tonight... although we ate the dessert already haha oops!! chocolatey puddings don't stay long in our fridge! but i did get a card and a single red rose this morning... i'm kinda against big bunches of expensive flowers at valentines...i'd rather have the money!

oh and i never changed my name to something baking related.....

Hi thunder glad to hear you are in good spirits.

What did everyone get for Valentine's day then? (apart from air kisses) I got a card. I'm sure the sexy lingerie, bottle of (non-alcoholic) champers, and tickets to Paris are just waiting for this evening

Busy doing helping my DS1 with his holiday homework, to make a picture in the style of Paul Klee. The most fun you can have with millions of pieces of gummed paper - who knew?

Lolz at sextival!! Looks like a few of us are on high alert dtd week and smear testing next week!! What fun things to have in common!!!!
