Geek - how embarrassed am I? talk about teaching your Granny to suck eggs! so sorry. Does that mean though that you can solve my problem? I am trying to move my software to another computer without losing my past cycles, how can I move them?

Temp dropped by .3 this morning

Hi ladies,

Good luck with the tests Greedy, big hugs to you.

MrsMc - I don't think spotting is that unusual in the early weeks. I had it with all 3 of mine. Doesn't stop the worrying though, knowing it can mean nothing.
Good luck.

I'm feeling a bit better. Coming upto that exciting time again. Started using the opks yesterday as I was so impatient. No positives yet. I got a pack of 20 just in case. I haven't managed to do the bd'ing every other day as I had intended.
TMI warning........

On our last 2 attempts I was post AF and no CM at all. Consequently DH was sore after the second nights action. And that was before we got close to Ov, lol. I'm giving him a break to recover in time for the crucial days.

Better start that grapefruit juice .

Off to chart spot...

Hope the wee ones help to keep you busy! x

how sweet, telling them on mothers day! you first mothers day as a mum! gotta go and wake dd up and get ds from nursery and then kill an hour or so before i get my results!

MrsMcJnr · 31/01/2007 14:19

You must be psychic Greedy I was just saying to Ready on another thread that I didn't feel quite ready to change my name or my profile yet, think I'll wait to get a positive from the Drs test next Tuesday. It will be won't it? Am I really only 4+3? I'm even willing myself to get MS to make me feel more pregnant. That said, I am totally off sweet things and junk food so something's different! In RL only DH, friend from Hen and Chooster know. Chooster is in the twilight zone between MN and RL and it's so great to have her to talk too. I was meant to have lunch with her today but I'm too choked with cold to go to work today so I'm disappointed.

Planning to tell the families on Mother's day as I should have had 10 week scan by then) and hope to feel more secure that it is all real.

and when are you going to change your name to mrsmcbump?

greedyforbabies · 31/01/2007 14:05

thanks mrs. how are you feeling today? has it sunk in yet? have you told anyone else in RL?

MrsMcJnr · 31/01/2007 14:02

Greedy, hope it is all going well, thinking of you.

Ready - I tried to backdate but couldn't, you might be better at the software than me though

Hello to the Newbies on here. This has been quite a successful thread in the BFP stakes since it began in the Autumn (can't remember the stats now ) hope you get your BFPs soon.

OP posts:
Ready · 31/01/2007 13:34

Mum03, tee hee, they've been looking at your chart thinking it was me ... if you get your BFP I will gladly take it for you ... Nothing sinister in not posting my chart, I am doing it the old fashioned way at the moment. My thermometer came with a little graph/chart booklet which I have been using. Much easier to hopelessly stare at my chart, just before going to sleep ... if no joy after 6 months I shall be getting the TCOYF software. So one more cycle til everyone can see my charts

TCOYF Q: Does it allow you to do all your back-charts??

greedyforbabies · 31/01/2007 13:25

mrs! you shouldn't say that if everything is ok for me then it will be for you. i am trying to be realistic, i had more bleeding again today so not expecting great news. my level was a measley 418 on monday so needs to be at least 600 today (apparently it has to go up by at least 1.5 times).
mrs - you will be fine i am sure! my first 2 pgs were fine with quite a lot of spotting/bleeding to begin with dont forget, so i am sure yours will be too. the bleeding has just been very different this time.

thanks for thinking of me too BBW and lottie. BBW - i havent had an early morning shag for ages! i am jealous!actually......come to think of it i havent had a shag for ages! obviously it probably wouldn't be advisable at the moment, and would probably get very messy! sorry TMI i know!

LOL....

Sorry for the confusion over the chart, I hopelessly failed to post a link, still not sure how to do it, but ready came to my rescue.

Ready - Thank you for being a fantastic mumsnetter, I thought it was great that you were being helpful and posting the link for me. I am now nosey and wonder if there is a reason for not posting a chart? Do you do the chart manually with pen and paper?

ammylovesbabies · 31/01/2007 10:00

I'm not reallt being nosey but want to see what the charts look like as thinking of starting myself- how can you look at them? xx

MrsMcJnr · 31/01/2007 09:47

I didn't read the blurb, just saw the name and hit the link - sorry Ready!

Greedy - I'll be thinking of you today hon, I'm willing everything to be fine. Sounds bizarre but I know if you are fine, I will be too. Huge hugs to get you through.

BBW - I'd count it as the day of, not the night before (unless it was all night, into morning, that would be complicated! )

Oh and good luck for your blood tests today greedy. Will be thinking of you.

BBWBabeLisa · 31/01/2007 08:47

Ahhh I must confess I thought the MUM03 chart was urs too ready.

Can anyone answer this for me? When you BD early in the morning (i.e before the time when you normally temp) do you record it as that day or the day before (and kinda class it as part of the previous night)?

greedyforbabies · 30/01/2007 22:16

shes a bit daft isnt she ready? i went straight onto the charts only thread to see your chart and it wasn't there. her pregnancy brain has obviously kicked in early!

Ready · 30/01/2007 19:28

MrsMc??? Confused... did someone steal my little pink book and transfer all my temps online?? ...

Don't think they did... well at least I hope they didn't!!

Is it cos I helped MUM03 along by posting hers as a link to be a nice friendly Mumsnetter???

MrsMcJnr · 30/01/2007 13:47

BBW - hope the chart inspires!

OP posts:
fettle · 30/01/2007 13:25

BBW - good luck!! sound hopeful still!

I know from experience how frustrating it is for DHs to disappear to sandy places, leaving you still not pg behind!! DH was there last summer and I hadn't manage to conceive following my mc at the beginning of the year before he went. However, we conceived 1st cycle he was back just before Christmas (unfortunately also mc that one, but at least I got pg!).

Sure you won't need to, but make sure you time R&R at the right time!!

BBWBabeLisa · 30/01/2007 13:17

Got the first BD in ages onto my chart now! Temp low again this morning, LOADS of ferns on ovatel, negative ov test strip bout half hour ago and still got EWCM so I'm certain I'm still in with a shout. Bloody hope so, coz DH informed me last night that they're away for 2 weeks around the beginning of march, and software is predicting next ov for me to be 8th March. I have a horrible feeling this is gonna be out last chance before iraq so have shown him MrsMc's chart with the non-stop BD'ing and told him to expect a busy week!

MrsMcJnr · 30/01/2007 10:51

I?ve uploaded my chart too. I took my temp yesterday but I don?t want to do it anymore, I think it would stress me out.

Fleecy pj time Natty

3Cats ? so sorry, forgot to ask, how are you feeling now? Any better?

Cityangel ? temps are nice and high hon.

Great to be able to see a chart for you Ready

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 30/01/2007 10:34

Hello 3cats ? re your comment about all our action this cycle! Why couldn?t DH have put all that effort in the 7 cycles before!? My Mum?s boobs got smaller too after us but apparently she didn?t start with very much. Mine are definitely getting bigger ? no safety pins anymore on my wrap tops! Thank you for your congratulations for me. I am still very nervous, it doesn?t seem real and I have to stop myself knicker watching. The Dr wouldn?t do a test until next week and of course, she can?t say much but she did say the spotting was a concern I do so hope this little one hangs on. Software says my EDD is 7 October. The grapefruit juice does work to increase your EWCM I think. It makes the fluids in your body more liquid so you get more.

Greedy ? oh my god I am so sorry about the bleeding, how horrible for you, I?m sending you huge hugs and praying for your beanie. We are here for you.

Hello Honeyapple ? interesting what you say about the underwired bras, if I am lucky enough to stay pregnant, I am going to need to buy new bras very soon so I am not sure what type to buy really!

Lottie ? hello I am sorry about AF, I really hope this is your cycle. When I saw the Dr yesterday and I told her that we?d been trying for 8 cycles she said that that was a perfectly normal period of time for someone my age but she could see that I thought it was a long time. She thought my chart was crazy, she couldn?t work it out at all. DH said she thought I was a nutter maybe she did as she asked him if he could verify the positive result! It makes me cross too that medical professionals give us no credit for trying to help matters along.

Natty ? hello there. I know exactly what you mean about thinking it will never happen and it did for me and it does for most at some point so keep hold of that hon. I?m sending you huge hugs, I know what you?ve been through and know how much you want that baby and if this cycle is not the one for you, I hope the procedure helps speed the process up, I?ve heard it can, even if there was nothing there that was an issue You can moan all you like, we are all ears. Never think you are the only one who gets themselves into a state, we all do and I agree that it isn?t fair that it happens so easily for some and it?s so hard for others.

Thank you Piz how are you getting on hon? Piz, for those who don?t know her is also a graduate from this thread!

Thanks Maisiemog ? hope the good vibes help you hon

Hello BBW ? hope you were very busy last night

Hello Ready ? glad you like my chickie on my chart

Hello Cityangel ? hope you had a good holiday good to have you back.

Hello Fettle, how are you feeling about everything? Thanks for explaining how to work out weeks. Chooster has my book so I haven?t checked it. That method makes my EDD 8/10 so would that make me 4 + 1 today? So early, so scary?.

Off to chart spot!

I'm not well, choked with the cold so decided to have a duvet day, I know that's naughty so early in new job but this way, I might get better before I get worse. So I'm going to read back and catch up and I'll be back soon
