temp buddies 2

Rahrah, isn't MrsMc selling her salivascope?? Or did I dream it??

Rahrah, well I am glad I make you laugh!! I aim to please I thought it was hpts that I was going to snatch off you

Lottie, honestly, you are not boring at all. We agree on so many things, how on earth could you be more boring than me I have been using the Boots own brand OPK, I had intended to use them until my temp had been up for at least 3 days and I was convinced that I have ovulated, even if I get a darker line. I wanted to use them to concur with my temps really. We have had sex every other day, and as soon as I get a positive opk we will do it every day for 3 days. Fingers crossed.

londonlottie - Did you stop using the cheap ones then? I think I'm going to be obsessed with them too... until I get that bloody line!! I will conquer those OPK..I'm also going to order a ferning kit... I will not be gotten the better of!

Hi Ready... Thanks -- you make me laugh... But I'm in the midlands so you will have to keep your mitts off my OPK...lol

LOL at Rahrah spitting at the OPKs, saliva isn't going to work (hugs)

I am getting on ok CD11 no line (well, the most pathetic attempt at a line, really faint, barely there) and then CD12 the same, then yesterday CD13, a little stronger, but still not close to the control, I will do todays in an hour... but my temp dip this morning mirrors last month so presuming I will get a darker line today and ov tomorrow or the next... Fingers crossed

Argh, I have missed out on so much, I love being busy as I don't think about ttc, but I have missed chatting with everyone

Honeyapple!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG HUGE CONGRATULATIONS WOOOOOOOOOO! I am so happy for you!! How very exciting!! I've had such a good feeling about you, what with all your ewcm!! Must confess to a little tear at your news!! All the best!!

Lottie, I'm away 5 minutes and you turn into the resident viagra dealer pmsl @ you crumbling them in dp's supper
Hugs by the way, I feel for you regarding the termination, I am so pleased that I never had to make such a difficult decision. But you really shouldn't beat yourself up about it! Both you and MrsMc did what was right for you, and that is all you can do. (hugs)

MrsMc, Bless them all, they didn't upset me, although they thought they had!! I have officially given up on trying to stop early testing, they never listen to me Hope that your spotting has stopped. Hope you are ok. I have recorded that miracles in the womb, mixed opinions on here though??

Greedy, how are you?? Sorry to hear about your weird patient!!

Fettle, I have missed you!! Although, obviously I understand why you have retreated a little! But don't stay away too long.

Weepootleflump?? Why the foul mood? Are you ok honey?

Seaside, I love to see another positive and upbeat attitude!! Remind me of that in 2 weeks when I am crying and depressed and entering cycle #7!!

Mum03, Sounds like you have got a tremendous amount of change going on in your lives at the moment. Sorry to hear about the possible delay of ttc, I am sure whatever you decide will be right for all of you.

Rahrah, oh honey, (hugs) How close are you to Manchester? I'll be round to get those bloody tests!! I will give up on early testing if people don't get upset by a BFN! But I hate to think of you so upset, so I really don't want to you take anymore!! A BFN this early means NOTHING Hang in there sweets, thinking of you.

Minxi at you demanding sex!! Crumbs, you are hot, hope you feel better soon!! The difference between our temps on the same CD is mental!! Do you think you may have ovulated??

Angelfire, hope all is well!! Hope you are elsewhere engaged and unable to post your temp

Iwillbe, cycle bud. How are you? Jump in temp?? Ov??

Right, well I best get on!! I bet I will have crossed posts with some of you. Apologies once again for not being on here lately!!

Thinking of all of you.

Rah spits at the rest on her OPK's... useless waste of pee....

CONGRATS honeyapple, very happy for you xxxxx

Hi ammy,
I think you need to have a few temps in a row before you can def confirm any OV or not. This means that any freak temps ie from illness, do not muck it up! So you'll need to temp for about 3 more days to see any definite pattern.

Thank you guys! will stick with it, just a bit cross that it's happened at that 'key' time. If the hike in temps is a sign of ovulation, I suppose they may drop a bit but stay above the cover line and if there is no hike they may go back below coverline now I'm getting temp down with antibiotics and painkillers. Is this right? So tomorrows temp should really show what has happened.

Afternoon!
Just got back from taking DC to the cinema- saw Charlotte's Web- and I cried nearly all the way through! Tried desperately to blow my nose and mop my face without being noticed! Probably all the emotions of this morning... but goodness me it WAS a sad film!
Is the book as sad? I can't remember.

It's ok to be upset about things that happened in the past, but we cannot blame ourselves for making the decisions that we did. I would not have the children I have today if i did not have the termination i did when i was younger. I would not have met my DP if I had not had my DS when I did, and I wouldnt be PG now with this baby if the MAP had worked when I fell PG with DD after only 1 month of dating DP. All actions have negative and positive effects.

Lottie ? the reason I went for a medical termination rather than I surgical at the time was because I felt it would be easier to deal with if I saw all that was there and really, there was very, very little and for a long time, that made me feel better, I?d tell myself that it was little more than a tiny collection of cells and just a promise of a baby, not a real one. I do feel a bit differently now I have to say but being selfish, if I?d kept that child, my life would have been so different, I would never have met DH, I would be with someone that I didn?t love enough. Hindsight is a powerful thing, a bit like knowledge, I believe I can still live with my decision though.

Lottie ? I know what you mean about the freaky bits, I didn?t like seeing that needle going through her abdomen to laser the arteries either! Re the termination point, that is something that is weighing very heavily on my mind at the moment too. I am very much looking forward to the point where I get past the stage that I was at but still have quite a way to go. I know that at the time, I looked at every angle of my life and realy thought long and hard about the future of the baby and of me and of my relationship at the time and I do believe I made a decision based on good judgement but now that I yearn for this baby so much, and track every second of her development, I cannot help but mourn for the child I so callously disgarded. I suspect that plays a big part in my fear of losing this one, the thought that maybe I just don?t deserve the chance. Heavy for a Friday afternoon, sorry!

Seaside yes, I liked the kicking point too. I also thought the theory on left handed people being potentially part of a set of twins was interesting. Lots of lefties in my family, I should have been but my Mum changed my hand when I was little. What they didn?t say, and my friends with the triplets told me this, is that identical twins can be hereditary down the male line as that there may be a gene in the sperm that makes the egg split!

That was amazing what you said about the twins? birth mark Honeyapple!

Ammy ? being ill can distort your temps I?m afraid, keep at it though and you?ll see a pattern overall.

Can I ask a question?

We are not planning ttc til Summer but have been taking my temps to see that I am ovulating ok and when. However I am about to ovulate around now and have got bloody tonsillitis. My temp was so high this morning that it took a few goes for it to register and I havent slept well. I am gutted!! My first month temping and I was so excited to see the change. My temp yesterday was 36.36 and today it was 37.07. I suppose what I'm asking is have I got to put this month down as a bad month and disregard my readings or can it be salvaged?

TIA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX hope you are all well!

I saw one bit that said if you are left handed you may have had a twin in utero- but it died early on- as identical twins are one right handed and one left handed- kind of mirror image. My DS has twin friends and they are like this- even have a mirror image birth mark! Weird heh.

Thanks everyone for the congratuations! Not sunk in yet. DP wants me to get another test to make sure- but i told him you cant get a false positive. Anyway, might pop out later and get another one to do tommorrow am!

MrsMcJnr - That prog was fascinating as far as the facts they gave - I never knew that multiple births could be created in so many diff ways! It must have been reallly interesting for you at the stage you are at too.
The real 4D scans were amazing - but the CGI bits were a bit weird and combined with the poetry too

I though the best fact was that girls kick more than boys
