Uki - congratulations

Impatience - sorry about the car, that's a real pain. I suppose at least you managed to get it off. Sorry no clue what your body is doing, have enough trouble working out my own

MsMc - good luck with the new job, shame you won't be able to mn though!

Somewhere mid-cycle here (look, I'm just SO relaxed about it all I don't even know ) and into the 2ww. Did lots of bd but very early on. If I am wrong and don't ov on CD11 I have got it all wrong.

Who's testing next?

Dh went on a bit of a strike and accused me of only wanting him during my fertile phase. That was really annoying, as another couple of attempts would have been good. It is nice to get a good night's sleep for a bit though, isn't it?

UKI - CONGRATULATIONS [fgrin

I am so pleased for you xxxxx

BoJingles · 11/12/2006 09:44

Impatience - gawd what a nightmare you are having. Thats awful news about your car.. whats to*ers would do that to someone's car .
I'm afraid I haven't any tips for removing graffiti but can only sympathise with confusing cycles. My ovulation pains seem to be getting longer and longer each cycle. They used to last a few days and now this cycle they have lasted 5 days - anyone experience this? If so when exactly would I ovulate? Sometime in the middle or at the end? Soo confusing

Uki · 11/12/2006 09:40

Impatient crossed posts, glad you got it off.

How old is your DS?

Uki · 11/12/2006 09:38

Morning All

Sorry to hear of all the bad things that are happening.
DecorativeD2B, hope you get your new card and it all worked out soon, I lost my card twice this year, very frustrating

Impatient-hope you can get your car fixed, was it spray paint?

Mrs Mc-Best of luck with the new job

I had something good happen this morning,

A BFP

I'm very haapy, really thought AF was comming went and bought all the stuff and all. I tested Sat one day late but BFN and today 2 x BFP

So that's my tip, buy all the AF things and it happens, also I bd later than usual up till day 18

Can't wait till you come join me in August thread. Rubbing the screen now to wish you all luck.

BoJingles · 11/12/2006 09:37

Morning all
MrMcClause - good luck with the new job
Angel - I am still here!! my AF is not due till 22nd (ish) so I will be hanging around till then. How are you? I do hope you have been making the most of this weekend? I am convinced we've timed it all correctly this month so fingers so very tightly crossed. I'm trying to not get to hett up about it all and do feel a little more layed back this month - whether its because I've got xmas to look forward to if AF does arrive.... Oh I'd forgotten how tedious the wait is though and I'm sure by next week I'll be tearing my hair out

ImpatientElf · 11/12/2006 09:36

Hello newbies, and welcome!

Good luck in your new job today MrsMc!

To anyone who wants to hear me still witter on about my confusing cycle, it's CD 10 today, STILL having ewcm, since CD5 so should have expected to ov yesterday on basis of usually having 5 days ewcm. I think someone put a spanner in my clockwork-works... A tiny bit of ov pain last night, but am usually very uncomfortable. Temp not yet up (yesterday's hike was 'cause I was poorly, but am better now), but it usually goes up after a few days. I guess this month I just have to keep plugging away at myself ! til no more ewcm or we go away at the end of the week, whichever comes first, and then just try and forget about it (yeah right!). So, anyone out there yet developed some magic device for knowing what the hell my body thinks it's playing at this month?!

PS, if anyone's car ever gets spraypainted by some oik, non-stick pan scrubber and a lot of elbow grease sorted the paint and glass out on mine, although I can't get it off the trim . Good thing I was well-slept, had loads of free time, wasn't sick and it wasn't raining while I was standing out there scrubbing, huh . Sarcasm by the way. Poor me.

MrsMcClaus · 11/12/2006 09:11

So annoyed, just wrote a long thread to you all and lost the lot! In an internet cafe getting a quick fix before I start my new job!

Welcome to the newbies - EagleBird and AnnieA. Wishing you festive BFPs. AnnieA - can recommend the B6 too and Evening Primrose Oil, last 2 cycles my LP has gone from 10 to 12 days and I have been taking the supplements pre-ov for 4 cycles.

Festive babydust to all expecting their BFPs in the next couple of days!

Hello N&T&B - birthday twins! Though I am considerbly older than you!

Pinky - some don't get much EWCM on the outside, it's quality not quantity anyway but the wet feeling is a really good sign of peak fertilty too. Hope that helps

CD9 for me and DH has promised me a BDing marathon this cycle, we'll see!

Speak to you all later!

MerryKitkatmas · 11/12/2006 08:28

Doh! Forgot to say hello to all the lovely ladies who are still here!! HELLO!!

MerryKitkatmas · 11/12/2006 08:27

Morning everyone - I'm still here too!! So sad to see so many leaving us... hope a break from these boards helps you put everything in balance. Come back soon though!

Hello and welcome to the new faces - you'll find the girls on here v supportive and helpful!

As for me, still only dpo...no symptoms whatsoever!! AF not due for ages - anyone testing this week?

ticklemepinkwithtinsel · 10/12/2006 22:43

hi Annie , welcome to ur sleigh! \

Im sure snowy meant BFP xx

Snowyowlet · 10/12/2006 22:42

Hi, AnnieA - welcolm to MN . I thought I had a short luteal phase til I started on MN - how many days does your LP last for - mine is 10 - 12 and have been on B6 to lengthen it.

You will find loads of advice and support on here - so stick with us and fingers crossed for a BFN

AnnieA · 10/12/2006 22:18

Hello. This is the first time i have posted on the site but I've been looking at messages for a while. We've been TTC for 10 months. I have a short luteal phase i think and doc has referred us to the hospital but the appointment isn't til April. My BFP would be around 19 Dec - what a lovely Xmas pressie that would be.

Snowyowlet · 10/12/2006 22:12

Hi Sparklytreeangel - Still here had to nip off and decorate the house with sprigs of holly and all the xmassy stuff. AF due 13/12 so will keep fingers crossed for thechristmassyone too but Im not holding out much luck for me - all the usual PMT symptoms are coming to the fore... Had a major domestic putting up the tree so think PMT is to blame.... (something about who can put the tinsel on the tree best - how sad is that! .) Anyway friends again now - Best of luck to all of you ladies in waiting and lets get a few more BFP on this sleigh

NattyandThomasandBumpandSanta · 10/12/2006 21:38

ah mrsmc my birthday is same time! go you for your positive attitude, i really hope to see you on the antenatal board soon, i predicted babymad would be b4 xmas... im now predicting you b4 new year!!! go team!

good luck to you all over christmas, and if you dont get the bfp's that you all deserve dont let it ruin ur xmas... and at least you can drink over xmas (unlike lil old me, and its my 21st this month!!!)

love to all

N&T&B

thechristmassyone · 10/12/2006 20:16

Eaglebird · 10/12/2006 20:13

ticklemepinkwithtinsel · 10/12/2006 19:55

Had to pop of and do dinner,
Could you tell me about EWCM please xx i hve googled it and it seems confusing, i dont get alot of it and very raley notice it as "SPINK" like - this has always been the case even when i fell pg. When does it get more/ less - sorry to be crude but mine is waterery and gets really white. -
Thank you wise one 1 ! XXXX

MrsMcClaus · 10/12/2006 18:03

ImpatientElf hope you feel better soon the temps can be confusing so give it a go anyway if you're feeling better.

MrsMC we had little ones about this weekend too. It's quite a novelty for us but fun! Practising bed time stories was fun

Snowyowlet you still there? How are you getting on?

It is a tough time of year for anyone who is feeling down but hang in there and come on for a chat if it helps

ticklemepinkwithtinsel · 10/12/2006 16:46

Mrsclause - are you there? have a EWCM queston you may know the answer to??

pesme · 10/12/2006 16:13

hi, everyone sorry i am not v. good at keeping up with everyone. thanks for all your kind messages. i did lose it on friday - i suppose disapointment and af hormones are a pretty potent mix. feeling alot more chilled now. i am going to follow greedy's lead and perhaps stay away from these threads for a while and try and forget about the whole thing. if you are looking in greedy - sorry about your af it is such a thump in the stomach.
