Morning - definitely in too good a mood this morning for the hut - not sure why the good mood, but not going to question it while it lasts!!

Anyway, 37.83 this morning, so up a little from yesterday. 11 DPO (well 11 days high temps - when do you count ov from, the day before temp rise or the day of temp rise?)

speak later

My post further down, I did say PMSL at your filthy dreams. It does cheer me up, reading your posts.

Ready · 03/02/2007 14:22

Both Greedy!! Both

If you tell me it's my month, then I shall believe you Greedy!! Your track record is great... do you want to stick your neck and reputation on the line and tell me this will be my month??

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 14:18

hang on.............ready and BBW ..........are you pleased i have stopped bleeding ....or pleased i am feeling horny???????!!!!

ready - i told mrs at the start of JAN that jan was going to be THE month for me and her...............and what do you know.......i was right!!!! is this month your month? why not hey? think positive!

Ready · 03/02/2007 13:44

So pleased to hear that Greedy!!! YAY!

mum03 · 03/02/2007 13:29

Yey! greedy, so glad that the bleeding is abating, hope you are beginning to enjoy the pg now, or are you waiting til tomorrow after the scan to start relaxing? I hope that the scan shows a wonderful little sac snuggly in the right place right size and all.

Rah - you are getting plenty of exercise with your dh I hope, o anyday now isn't it.

BBW - my coverline last time was 36.56 according to ff, but my temps so far this month have been significantly higher than last month, not sure why. So my coverline I assumed would be higher this month around the 36 ish point, so perhaps I am just being a bit impatient, perhaps my temp will start showing a rise in the next couple of days. My cycle length varies too, my average cycle was 26 days, but last month was 28 and it looks like this one is going to be that long too.

BBWBabeLisa · 03/02/2007 13:24

Am chuffed to bits to hear that greedy!

Ready · 03/02/2007 13:23

BBW - 36.68 CD24 / 3dpo (3rd cycle ttc)
Honeyapple - tbc CD15 (6th cycle ttc)
LondonLottie - tbc CD7 (4th cycle ttc)
Minxi - tbc cd1 (8th cycle ttc)
Mum03 - 36.6 cd14 (2nd cycle ttc)
Rah - 36.3 CD13(3rd cycle ttc)
Ready - 36.23 CD1 (6th cycle ttc)
greedy - TBC (pg)

As you can see... my menstrual cycle is running like clockwork. Which has got to be a good thing? Right?

Thanks to all of your for your support yesterday (and always really!) - I am doing ok. CD1 today, and I had a few tears last night on DHs shoulder. I really am lucky to have him, he just seems to know the right things to say. I started asking if he was angry at me for not making his baby. I know, what a tit I am!!

Greedy, The hormones certainly don't help me!! I do slide into a little well of self-pity - but I try not to stay there too long PMSL at your filthy dreams BTW

Fettle, I was only in the hut for a dash of realism, because part of me kept pretending that my temp dip etc was a mistake (idiot!) To be honest, it's a little hardcore for me now, bless 'em all. I couldn't stay that downtrodden for that long. It'd kill me. Always funny as heck though aren't they!

BBWBabeLisa, Thanks for your thoughts, and sharing about your experience. 18 months I am not sure I would remain positive for that long. Good on you! totally worth the wait I should imagine

MrsMcJnr, You are so right, why shouldn't it happen soon!? It will happen, it will happen.

Mum03, I am definitely up for the challenge!! I shall do my best to keep you from testing early!! You can resist!

Honeyapple, crucial time how's it all going??

Lottie, I agree with everything you said (as always ) Like you and Fettle said, my cycle is seemingly normal, and LP is long enough too from the looks of things. I will give some of that visualisation a go.

Minxi, the ClearBlueFairy doesn't mind people testing so long as it's not before you are due. Go for it. Fingers crossed.

Right... well, my tummy is in BITS, I feel as sick as a dog... but my spirit is returning. Onwards and upwards!!

good luck everyone.

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 13:16

nah! not really..............the thought of sperm doesnt get me going, but the thought of where it comes from.........MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm! THAT gets me going!

sorry! its been FAR too long without sex for me now! i MUST stop thinking filthy thoughts! MUST STOP!

only spotting today which is GREAT news! no bright red blood for over 24 hours! yippee!

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 13:14

ok i am going to stop posting my temps! but i cant bring myself to stop taking them!

sorry about af mum03. looks like you are waiting till march then after all! at least YOU kept your end of our deal!

ready? how are you today?

stop all this talk of sperm girlies.............you are making me horny!

Aawww minxi, dead sorry to hear bout period coming. Hope you had a relaxing wine soaked evening.

Mum03- what's your coverline? Are you always such a high temp pre-ov?

Ready - u feeling any better today hunni?

My TCOYF software is now showing a definite ov on Wednesday, so given that we had 2 well timed BDs am really hopeful for this cycle. Period due Saturday 10th, on which day I also have the wives New Year bash in the mess, so I'll be doing an early test that morning to see whether I can afford to have a few drinks!

I am obviously a "slow riser" when it comes to bbt and ov, I don't know if it will be clear when I o'd this month like last month. or perhaps I am just impatient!

Minxi - sorry to here that you are back to cd1 again or are you cd2 today? anyway hugs to you.

Ready - how are you today?

Fettle - yuk, how could you google that....! lol

rahrah1 · 02/02/2007 22:02

Drink lots of that wine.... damn the hideous period

minxi · 02/02/2007 21:25

Well I shall be saving my tests for next month, af has arrived with a vengeance!! Okay and have now cracked open the wine waiting for DH to fly back in !! Funny as 3 hours ago we were talking about testing and getting partly excited and now when he gets home I have to tell him about period

rahrah1 · 02/02/2007 19:38

Have a good time Fettle,,, Speak to you Sunday

fettle · 02/02/2007 19:07

Just googled "does sperm sink?" and came up with the following!

"semen: sink or float?

When I was in high school this question came up.

After quizzing our entire grade at a private baptist school for their opinions, 5 guys volunteered to experiment. one by one, they filed in and attempted to masturbate into a public toilet. only 3 succeeded.

some of it sank, some of it floated.
more sank than floated.

we took pictures of the results."

Therefore, don't think we can use sinking or floating as a definition of sperm!!!

Have a great weekend, everyone - off to London to visit my sister tomorrow, so back on Sunday.

I thought ew and sperm sank to the bottom?

Ready - hope you are feeling better, I know how you feel as I have been feeling like that half the week and the other half have no idea what to think...not for this month anyway!

I am testing tomorrow and I apologise to CBF if she thinks that is wrong but in my book late is when af is due...!! DH home tonight and he agrees well didn't tell him I was going to tell half of mumsnet

If it is a bfn then so be it, I will have to believe that period is genuinely late!!

Hope the rest of you all have a lovely weekend, those of you ovulating - hope this is your lucky month

fettle · 02/02/2007 17:38

I'll check my TCOYF book later, not sure about sperm!! but I think sperm float, EWCM sinks. The book says you might see a ball of EWCM sink in the loo if your lucky!! Normal CF and arousal fluid dissolves in water, which is why you can see EWCM in water.

Does that make sense?
Just been told to get of computer by DD, so I have to go!!

Are you sure Lottie? I always thought the sperm dissolved, that's how you can tell the difference between them. Don't have my TCOYF book to check either.

rahrah1 · 02/02/2007 15:53

greedyforbabies - get this me and DH did not have sex for 7 months when I was pregnant! Poor bloke!
I can remember being particularly horny when I was pregnant in my dreams.. But it was not good for the bleeds... So try and clean that mind up of yours! Its a bit hard telling the doctor!

I was also like that with my tampax, I did not want to give them away or throw them out as I saw it as 'tempting fate'... so with you on that one as well Greedy>

Ready, come over here for a hug! I know how you feel, been there honey. Try and tell yourself, why shouldn't it happen for me soon? I know it will and when it does, those 6 cycles won't feel like a long time anymore. Always here if you need a chat. Chin up!

Being a bit gross for a mo, peeing in a little clear container and then dipping the OPK in also lets you see if there is any EWCM there as it doesn't dissolve in urine

BBWBabeLisa · 02/02/2007 13:41

Oh just seen your post Ready! Been interrupted so many times while typing m post it took me about 2 hours to complete it, so missed all posts in that time. Sending big hugs chick. I know it's tough, and 6 months feels like forever. It took me almost 18 months to fall for my DD. You know we're all here for you, and I'm sure your spirits will lift soon.

Oh and I wee into a little tupperware container thingy, coz I wouldn't have a hope of hitting the stick (my huge tummy gets in the way and I can't see where I'm weeing never mind reach a stick into the flow acurately). Hope that wonderful mental image at least puts a smile on your face hunni!

Right I'm off this time!
