Hi, I'm not sure if theres already a thread for those hoping for a +ive October. I'm on the +ive Sept one but my fertile window for this month has just passed without being able to try (got to get blood sugars stable before we can try) so next chance to try will be towards end of September (32ish cycle), which means I won't be in a position to test til October. If theres already an October thread please point me in that direction, if not, here we go!

its all booked for 2 weeks saturday! i hope this includes drinks too im sure we will make damn sure we get our moneys worth unless of course there is a bfp in my midst

Good for you Desperate!

Hopefully the kitchen staff won't even know you're getting a freebie will they?

You wouldn't pay them anyway so try to persuade your DH and make the most of your 'compensation'!!

N&T&B.......still thinking about you....hope you are getting sorted out.

Well done getting something out of them Desperate. I send things back all the time when they are not right (why should we just put up with crap?!) but DH feels the same way as your DP! Is there a buffet that you can go to one night? if it's a free meal, it could be for any reason so hopefully, the kitchen wouldn't even know you'd complained before!

Cityangel - what an awful experience you had too! makes me really cross when I get bad food and service. Tell me about the acupuncture, have you been before and are you going specifically for TTC or for other reasons?

cityangel · 11/10/2006 14:26

Hey desperate we are having similar meal experiences.

Went to an expensive restaurant on Sunday and had our worst meal ever. I won't name it in case they sue me but it?s the one looking out onto London Bridge.

My steak was brought out cold not once but twice (after I sent it back) Two other friends meals arrived as we were finishing ours!
The waiter threw water over one of friends and then picked up the bottle off the floor and tried to give it to us.
We got 20% off the bill without even asking but they did try and charge for service on top of that!

I am really hopefull for you as it sounds like everything is in place for a lucky month.

I am going to try Flaxseed oil soon and have Accupunture tomorrow.... Fingers crossed

Natty, thinking of you xx

desperate2bmum · 11/10/2006 13:55

ohh forgot to mention that does anyone remember my dps birthday how totally crap it was..well i have heard back from the manager of the hotel and got a complimentary meal but only thing now is dp is refusing to go because he things they will "spit or worse" in the food!

cityangel · 11/10/2006 13:51

Natty sorry about your worrying signs I really hope its not the worst. Big big hug

Hey Desperate2b cycle buddy how's it going. Sorry I have been a missing (useless) cycle buddy the last couple of days
Congratulations on OV

Had a big row with dh yesterday which was my fault. Managed to rectify it and fit in some bd and he bought me lunch today. I am a lucky bunny.

My temp went up massively today so maybe OV yesterday but the OV test was negative this morning. Or it could be because of the hangover?!

Hi Rachel Rose - hows it going any AF yet?
Haven't heard back from either job interview yet which is v stressful, but I should learn to be patient

I am temping to try and work out OV but if I have any wine that seems to bugger it up!
I think I am CD16 today so we'll see

Good luck with Nov MrsMC I shall pop over and wish everyone in there luck!

Hello to everyone I have missed xxx

desperate2bmum · 11/10/2006 13:46

hello everyone!

is anyone testing soon?!

i am cd16 had positive opks on cd14/15

have bd'd 8,10,12,13,14,15 so going to give dp a well deserved break tonight

natty (((((big hug))))) chin up hun x

i dont think this month is the month though i just have got a weird feeling that its going to take me a while to fall again. but.....have got a job interview on friday and if all goes well am thinking of pausing ttc until ive been there 11 weeks because then il be entitles to maternity pay. i would so love to switch jobs but not at the cost of losing maternity pay as its such a big bulk to lose.

weather is very grim here its like night time so im going to curl up in bed now for a nap

Babymad4num3 · 11/10/2006 13:34

N&T&B thinking of you (((((((big hug))))))

RachelRose · 11/10/2006 12:52

Freakyfloss - I used a first response one I had left over - Not even a feint line no matter how hard I stared . I did it about lunch time but it should still have shown something 4 days past AF due date.

MrsMcJ - Yes I will go to the docs I think. I'll give it til next week and if still no sign then that will be a 38 day + cycle so I'll ask advise. After the problems I had last Dec / Jan, I hope they'll think about taking a look into it. Having said that I know from MN that people do have 40+ day cycles (and much longer). You never know she may have arrived by the weekend!

Any news N&T&B? How are you?

MrsMcJnr · 11/10/2006 12:01

Big hugs to N&T, hope all is ok, must be awful waiting.

RR - poor you, you are having a really frustrating time too. Have you considered going to your gp for a professional test? I know that sounds a bit OTT but they may be able to offer some advice if it is hormonal. I am reading "The Infertility Cure" by Randine Lewis at the mo (very kindly given to me by another MNetter). It is all about Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal remedies and getting your body balanced as a whole and not just one part of it, I am finding it really interesting but have not got to any bits that require action from me yet.

How are the rest of you October ladies? anyone around OV or testing time? babydust to all...............

FreakyFloss · 11/10/2006 08:47

RR can i ask which test you are using? I had the ebay ones and they showed only the faintest line (ie easily missed if you weren't staring!). I brought the clear blue digital and it came up positive in seconds. I'm sure i'm teaching you to suck eggs, but even when i tested yesterday with cheapey ones there was barely a line at all. poor you waiting - hopeful about nausea though!

RachelRose · 11/10/2006 08:27

Ooops, knew I should have read my post back before I sent it.

Should have been "Like MrsMcj said,"

And, "I know all PG are NOT the same"

RachelRose · 11/10/2006 08:24

Oh Natty, so sorry you haven't been seen yet. Are you able to chase them today. How are you feeling?

And FOTS too - You sound really fed up. I really hope you feeling more upbeat today. Like MrsMcJ, you are at the interesting bit if you want to take advantage of it. Although maybe a month of not worrying about it may be good?

As fopr me, still no fecking AF!!! Am now 5 days late, BFN and no PG signs (although have been a bit nauseous at times).

I was just wondering, I presume having an irregular cycle can be caused by a hormone imbalance. Could that same hormone imbalance be causing the nausea? Sorry if this is a daft question. I know all PG's are the same, but I've known the feeling with my last 3 PG's and I know I'm not this time - The BFN kind of confirms it doesn't it.

Anyway, Will stop rambling. Will look in toni's book later on to see what she says!

coggy · 11/10/2006 07:28

....................

NattyandThomasandBump · 10/10/2006 23:35

still no scan, hospital havent got back to me.
not really in the mood for chatting, feeling too low

MrsMcJnr · 10/10/2006 14:08

Hey FOTS - sorry you're peed off but aren't you coming up to the best part of the cycle? the bit where we can actually do something to make a difference rather than sit and wait? also don't you think it is great to just have sex without TTC on your mind? It's the mid week blues, look after yourself and you will get the BFP one of these days!

FemaleoftheSpecies · 10/10/2006 12:26

so peed off; day 12 i think, and life is naff generally - have decided to start to look for a new job. have only recently got a bit fed up with it but maternity benefits excellent.

pretty pointless staying for those when dh and i seem unable to make anything happen. got v drunk on sunday and had sex of a kind but lets justsay you dont get pregnant from doing it thatway. now can't be faffed.

is it just tuesday blues? even reading heat didn't cheer me up. peed right off!

(apologies to those of you with proper problems!)

Babymad4num3 · 10/10/2006 09:38

Can anyone tell me what to expected with this scan and x-ray that i'll be going for soon (08/nov). I'm having them to find out weather I have block tube/s and/or PCOS or anything else they see fit to look for!

MrsMcJnr · 10/10/2006 09:38

N&T - thinking of you and hoping and praying that all is ok xxx

RachelRose · 10/10/2006 08:23

Thanks Natty - Thanks a lot for the positive vibes - I dont know why but I've never felt positive about this month - think day after day of negative OPK's added to that.

Really hope you have a good month!!

Natty1806 · 10/10/2006 08:12

Thanks RR and Babymad - see you in Positive November - well maybe not RR. Still holding out hope for you.

RachelRose · 10/10/2006 08:03

Thanks for the info rubles on taking temps.

Babymad - Sorry for the bad time you're having, at least you'll get your infection cleared up - that must be sore!

Natty&T&B - Sorry to hear about your bleeding, we'll all be keeping fingers crossed for you. Let us know how you are getting on.

Natty1806 - As soon as my AF finally arrives, I'll be joining you - see you soon!

Babymad4num3 · 10/10/2006 07:57

NattyandThomasandBump thinking of you lots and i hope your alright!

Babymad4num3 · 10/10/2006 07:56
