temp buddies 2

Ammy, I'm way over the other side from you - St Nicolas Park. LOL at you popping in on me (I now have a vision of you standing at my front door singing the Disney song ). How old is your dd?

MIL goes home tomorrow !!!!
This has been one of the worst weeks of my life but will never be repeated thankfully... dh and I have agreed she won't be coming again (she's soooooooo selfish you wouldn't believe).

Rahrah, sorry about AF . Still, nice to have another buddy this month.

Mum03, do you think ourselves and Rafrah are starting to sync in the way that girls who live together have their periods sync .

I'm so tired now, I really can't concentrate anymore so I'm off to bed. Night everyone.

Nearly forgot...

MUM03, I'm officially your new PG buddy!

Sorry to hear your cousins baby has not been well. Hopefully he will put back on his weight very soon and get home.

I have said it before, but you have such a wonderful job looking after all those sick babies. It must be very hard though and difficult not to pick them up. But if it wasn't for people like you the babies would not get the care that they need...

Yes you will have a baby soon, well in about 10 months... as like you said March is your month and hopefully mine now as I'm your Buddy!

This month I am going to work on CM... I think that I'm storing it all up and the sperm can't go past it... so I need to get some good quality CM...that helps not hinder conception.... Best ideas please put forward.

angelfire777 - My email address is [email protected] - shhhh nobody mention this to Ready she is a bit of a stalker!!
Bereavment midwife is due round tomorrow and said she would try and get them for me. Cross fingers..

MUM03... Yep pg this month sounds good...keep you to that... I think there may be a few others joining us!

angelfire - def sounds like ovulation for you- my cycle averages at 26 days also (although it seems to change a bit each month from 24 -30 days!) and I am sure I ov'd on CD13 this month but the Fertility Friend software says CD14 cos my temp rise was on CD15. We did not manage to BD on the big day either!

Lottie - Yay - glad you kinda liked cranio sacral therapy it is kind of weird (did you manage to find a therapist near you or hike up to Harley Street?) - I still don't fully understand it - all I know is that is cured my IBS and I went because I was recommended by a family member who had a herniated disc in her spine which was dehabilitating and all conventional docs etc had said only option was surgery - then she went to the cranio and within 6 weeks the pain was nearly gone and when she went back to the docs they were amazed - the disc had gone back into place!

I think it is something that you have to study to really get into it - another friend I referred ended up going on to become a therapist herself!

When I went into my session yesterday I could feel how tight I was - my heart was thumping realy hard in my abdomen and my head and neck were all jerky but after I felt much more fluid IYKWIM?

Lottie and seaside - thanks a lot for your help on ovulation.

Seaside - My cycle is always 26 days. Which would mean I ovulated on day 13. Thanks for your well wishes, I am doing a lot of sleeping and in between on mumsnet - so glad I have a laptop!! I will send lots of good vibes to you both about your tests. Hope you succeed in forgetting about them.x

Lottie - I LOL at your comment about "lots of boinging in".!!!! Managed to BD on 10,11, and 12 day of cycle but not on OV day as came back late,tired and not well unfortunately . Holding out for the theory that my DP has supersperm that can stay around for a while though!!!! Really glad you liked the visualisation idea and that you do a similar thing yourself.I had the most amazing results with it when I had to do a big solo at Barbican recently.
Really curious (nosey really!) about your cranio work. What was strange about it? What were the were the wierd thoughts that popped into your head? Did you go to seaside's one? (What she said about projecting is the kind of the thing we were talking about with the visualisation!!!! . )x

Thanks for asking angel - my test results will prob not be in for a month or so - so we will go back in 3-4 weeks to discuss mine and DH's results together {quake} going to try to forget about it till then.

angelfire - looks like it maybe an ov rise in your temps - it is certainly a signficant enough rise on yesterdays temp! how long are your cycles normally? I know being ill can confuse it a bit but if it is still raised tomorrow it looks good

Thanks for the karma correction! - my dogs are bad! They do it quite often but I felt more responsible today cos I have seen this little bunny everyday since Saturday and have scared it away every time before letting the dogs out - but today I just forgot and opened the back door to put out washing and it was all over in about 3 seconds !

IKWYM about the foxes - I would not feel nearly so bad if they killed a fox after seeing the aftermath of a fox induced chicken massacre at a friends house - not nice and seemingly so meaningless - it didn't even eat them.

Hope you feel better soon by the way {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Ready lots of typos. it is meant to say sorry you are having a trying month but glad you are trying to relax now though.x

Ready sorry your temp down but glad you are trying month and trying to relax. t

Mrsmc - cant wait to hear your good news this Friday!!
I think the problem with when we get scared is we feel powerless and think we have no control over the situation. I have an exercise that I do which helps me because in doing the exercise I feel I am doing something and taking my power back and it also helps my body to relax too!!!!!!!
When I am worried about something I try to visualise it all being ok. For instance, if it were me in the same place as you I would imagine what the scan would look like and your wee baby being well. Just by allowing myself to see something good, I would then start getting some positive feelings about it Then everytime I got scared I would use this to help me get in a better space. It may seem daft to do but its much better concentrating on this than the fear side and its free. It has worked for me so many times I use it a lot for performing too!

Rahrah how shall we get in contact then? rahrah when are your results for tests due?

Greedy so excited to hear about your scan and pleased you are relieved, its so good to hear

Seaside well done on your cunning for planning the right day for blood tests. When are the results due? I am definitely off to cranial as soon as I am well again. You didnt kill the rabbit seaside your dogs did so its not on your karma and not on theirs either as that is their natural instinct .
Lottie and seaside - i am a yoga addict too!

Lottie I so dont want foxes in my garden because our chickens free- range - we have definitely been lucky so far.

Mum i will take bet on your coverline. I reckon your body will be contrary and go in between those 2 temps!!!

I am feeling ill today (been in bed all morning) so dont know if temp rise is due to illness or ovulation - confused!!!!!!

Is it wrong that I imagined a cat with a sythe hovvering over baby guinea pigs?? Yes, it probably is (apologies Rattling)

Foxes, rabbits I get squirrels, does that count?? Oh, and we have birds nesting in our roof, with babies too, I am certain that the mother sparrow is rubbing my nose in it!!

Seaside, You are right, this is the worst I have felt since starting ttc. Bless your heart for having to deal with the dead rabbit, but it's just instinctive for a dog to do that, don't feel bad

Mum03, Deal!! I will happily trade you some low temps if you want them I know I need to relax more, I am very highly strung at the moment not least due to ttc!

Greedy, I have run out of OPKs and that is the only reason I am stopping!! They weren't even cheapies off the net You are right, my eggs are so stressed they are scrambled!

Thanks so much for the support and the pep talks etc ladies, I really needed it today!! I can't seem to shake this cloud of despair that is hanging over me, but I will get there. I always do.

Thanks for the reassurance girls - PMSL rattling!!- maybe if we have a candle-lit vigil in remembrance!

I know it is natural and it is not the first time they have done it at all - but I saw them kill this one right in front of me as I hung out the washing and it is impossibly cute

Lottie - its funny you mention foxes as we never see any down here (one in two years - but he was the size of a small shetland pony!!) and in fact I only ever see them when we are in london now - and there they are so bold! - when we were up 2 weeks ago one walked about 2 metres in front of me as I opened our garden gate and just stopped and had a good look at me before casually ambling off!!

rattling - still laughing - sorry!

Do you think that my cat killing a litter of baby guinea pigs 20 years ago is still giving me bad karma? Not wild guinea pigs - pets of a 8 year old girl, spread out over a well tended, suburban garden. Maybe I need to make some kind of offering to the rodent gods.

I think the signs (or lack of) look good, fingers crossed for the next few days.

Seaside- the temps and cm sound very good.

lottie - Yes - I wasn't going to mention us looking all vulnerable at the bottom of the list !! [gulp] well no I haven't got any signs yet - no sore "bewbies" which usually come a week before? Have had quite a bit white/milky/watery cm (sorry for tmi!) ? But I think these could be down to all the pills I am popping from the nat health doc as I think the formula I am on is to help hormones/pms etc. I am hoping they may also extend my cycle a bit - last month it was 25 days - just - (I started a bit of dark brown spotting on the eve of CD23)
Well done on going to yoga - I am totally addicted now - it def gives me something to focus on and be positive about. And good luck with the cranio-sacral appt - I have actually made one with my primo london lady in 2 weeks as we will be up in town then - v. excited!! I am def at the try anything and everything phase - acupuncture next I think!

Oh greedy - don't get your hopes up on my behalf!! I am a very unoptomistic and jaded about ever getting a BFP! and am already planning ttc cycle 12!

Ready - I really feel for you - I def think I was the most stressed about ttc around cycles 6/7 - so much so I got 2 bladder infections in a row and now looking back I am sure I did not ov either. I think after that I just thought - sod it - I have to say I kind of stopped even imagining a BFP and kind of took a step back and wallowed a bit. It is only natural that by very definition we are trying and that makes failing so much more difficult to take I think some pampering may be in order.
Also - I went through 10 cheap opks and 10 CB monitor pee sticks this month!! - the CB monitor gave me a peak - but the other OPKs were far from conclusive - a couple of faint ones and one slightly darker but not as dark as control line - they suck!!

OMG - bad karma - my dogs have just killed a rabbit in the garden ( sorry this is prob really shocking for most of you - but we live in a rural area with a golf course next to us and it is like watership down around here - good job no one can hear me scream as I have just had a screaming fit in the garden ) will have to make DH go and bury it in the field My dogs have killed a prob baby bunny - I am never going to get a BFP!

Mum03- hucky man eh?

oops, so sorry guys am on wrong thread ...so sorry for blundering in on your conversation...

Hi guys,

sorry to post and run but have just been on the phone trying to cancel my duplicated nuchal scan dates. I wanted to cancel the 12th march date and retain the 19th march date as my dh is away on the 12th and would like to come.

But the receptionist at Kings college was saying that it was cutting it very fine as I would be 13 weeks 6 days on the 19th March which is cutting it very fine as apparently that is last day they will do the nuchal scan. She allowed me that date but said if I cancelled it for any reason then it would be on my own head.

I don't understand why 13 weeks 6 days is the cutoff, can they not measure the folds after that then?? Also was wondering about those ppl who have been given scan dates for later than this? confused...

xx

will read through the thread later and post properly
