temp buddies 2

ok seaside - i am sorry, i will try not to get excited about you yet then.

rahrah - you did say all along that you wanted to avoid another november baby, so well done! i think if you had of got pg this cycle it would have all been a bit too traumatic and emotional for you. on this occassion i think it is definately for the best that af has arrived for you.

ready - 10 opks is NOTHING!!!! i used 20 one month and then ran out and still hadn't ov'd!!! beat that!!!! you will ov! dont worry! you might be stressing your eggs out too much. i reckon mine used to suffer from performance anxiety! the pressure we put on our poor eggs hey!!!

Rahrah - about AF arriving but you get a big gold star for your positivity. I have moved you to the top spot on the list - hope thats OK/right?

Lottie - sorry usual AF signs are appearing I usually start feeling mine a week before - which means my 2ww is generally only a 1ww!!

Mum03 - sorry you had to appease us all and do a test ! but wow you are hot -still!! - verrrrry intersting

MrsMcJnr - I am so sorry you are feeling low and that the spotting won't bugger off and leave you alone.{{{{{hugs}}}}} Wishing Friday comes in double-quick time

Ready - Ok - so even if you did not OV this month - is it any consolation to know that you have taken MrMcJnrs crown of "Shag Queen" for this month?! I salute you - Gold star for effort

honeyapple - glad to see you are still with us - we need the support! Actually I was just thinking I really have no idea what you do when you do get a BFP - do you have go to the docs to confirm it? Have you told your GP? I'm like lottie - don't think I will be able to keep it a secret at all

greedy - tut tut - Black star for leading TTCers astray into unecessary testing!!!! - couldn't resist - sorry!!

Ok, so the one time I set out my posts individually so as not to cross with anyone, like I always seem to do, I don't cross.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am not. I am off to look at the charts and mope a little (well, a lot )

Honeyapple, Relaxing seems to be crucial in conceiving, and I am really not sure how on earth I will manage that!! So perhaps I am destined to never be a mum because I carry too much worry around with me! I have bought some grapefruit juice in readiness for next cycle I didn't think there was really a difference when I drank it before, but this month I only had 2 days of EW and no temp shift to show ov, so I want EW in adundance next month

Lottie, I always giggle at how you write "bewbies" ... Sorry to hear about your classic symptoms, I hope that your body is tricking you though The positive to come from this (is there no way of stopping me I wonder??) is that you are perfectly in tune with your body, and that is always a good thing.

Mum03, sorry again for misunderstanding you, I really appreciate that you did all that for me. So BFNs during pregnancy are a family thing huh?? All the more reason to wait as long as you can to test

MrsMc, Sorry to hear that you are spotting again, but like you say, it is very common. It's just until Mumsnet you don't really hear about that side of things, and just assume it's a bad sign. Hang in there flower Roll on friday!!

Oh Rah, I am sorry to hear that, but you found a positive to focus on (I'm only bloody at it again!) which is always helpful!! Hope you are ok? (hug)

Morning all. I am officially peeved off. Temp still not risen significantly to show OV, no positive from 10 (count them!) 10 OPKs. And to top it off I keep trying to convince myself that I ovulated but 2 sleepless nights have affected my temps and therefore not shown ov - am I the most annoying positivity seeker there has ever been

Rah's revised Stats... Period just arrived!

Thanks mum03, I wish it stayed away for another 9 months, that would be great! However there is no way Im pregnant,,,my temps are far to low for the last three days ....Anyway its good not being pregnant this month, it would of been too close to Bertie's Birthday.. On FF it said 30.10.07...and Bertie's is 8.11.06...so if I had gone over my EDD it would of been very close. I found a positive today which is a good step forward

Thanks Lottie, it helps so much to voice how I feel to you all, thank you for listening. I hope you are wrong about AF hon, I really do.

Hello Honeyapple ? it?s not that much I guess, it?s not bring red either, it?s pinky/orangey, I do have a lot of CM at the mo (which my book says is normal) I know my body should be making the placenta at the moment so I guess it is understandable that spotting might happen. Wish it wasn?t though! I know exactly what you mean about feeling funny when you do voice it!

Thanks Rahrah ? unfortunatley, I can?t take any time off. Can?t even throw a sickie as I?ve had 4 days off already since I?ve been here and my contract states that if I am off for more than a week I go straight to stat sick pay, can you believe that?

Greedy ? just knowing you are here to talk to helps me no end, I?ve not been through anything like you and you must think I?m such a winge but I just want my baby to be ok so much it hurts. I am trying to kep positive, and here?s the rub, because I am a positive person generally, I do keep giving myself explanations about the spotting and telling myself it will be ok but then you get dark moments where you think maybe it?s not and how the helll will I cope with that? I guess the answer is that it?s not worth worrying about because if it happens, you cope. Tell me about your name ideas. I?ve had mine for ages

ammylovesolivia - sorry Ammy I'm brain dead.. Yes I do remember you work at Walsgrave in the Pharmacist part..

mrs! just seen your post, sorry i wasn;t ignoring you. its tough isnt it! i know what you mean about starting to relax and then realising that you cant again. i really hope your scan will put your mind at ease, i think it has for me. i was even looking at names last night! getting carried away i know!
also, dont worry if you get more spotting after your scan cos i did yesterday and i think it was all the prodding of my tummy that might have caused it.
try and keep positive.

lottie - dont blame me! i feel bad enough already!
i think because it happened for me this time against all the odds, i am weirdly positive for EVERYONE else! and i really believe that temping gives you lot such an advantage over other non temping ttcers! sorry! i will try to contain my excitement...................but i have to say rahrah has got me going again today!

Sorry MrsMcJnr, cross posted....

I know how frustrating and worrying it must be.. Seeing your little bean on Friday and it's little heart flickering will help...However some pregnancies do have bleeding through out..Just try and take it easy, even if it means having a few days off work.
I swear from the moment a child is conceived you start worrying and I bet the worry is no less when the child is 60!
The lack of pain is also a very good sign... Enjoy Friday and put your feet up... you deserve it!

Oh Mrsmcjnr- so sad to hear you feeling down. How much spotting? If it really is just spotting, i really think it's nothing- probably your body just adapting. Friday is not so long away. Keep your chin up. If you want to tell some people in RL then why dont you? A good friend or relative may be just who you need right now.

Mum03- Thanks for thinking of me! I'm fine, just been letting you guys get on with it for a few days, while i am still wondering whether i am actually PG. Dont feel PG! Took my DD for her pre-school boosters yesterday and asked about GP/Midwife stuff (cos i had my kids in London- but now in kent)... The reception said CONGRATULATIONS!! really loudly...felt a bit funny!

Morning to everyone else. I totally think that i got PG this month becasue i wasnt trying so hard. I kind of thought, well bugger it... hence not too much BDing... I know this doesnt sound very helpful- but i feel that i was much more relaxed this month and definitley less stressed out about TTC.

mum03 - ok i guess i owe you a pg test then! sorry! i cant believe your temps are so high still. have you got a bit of a cold or something? i WAS kind of convinced that you were pg. sorry , i feel really stupid now. i like your march promise though!

morning all!

Morning Guys

I have put it down as CD32 but had some spotting today, never normally have spotting... but in means period is on its way.

MUM03, I think we know our bodies but its easy to have a niggling doubts. I'm clearly am not pregnant, dropped temps for 3 days, period cramping, water loss, PMT...but until I'm totally certain I could waiver...So don't blame you for doing that extra test... but I do blame Greedy...LOL, I bet lots of strange things normally happen to us in regards to periods etc...but we have never noticed them before TTC..

More spotting again today I?m so fed up with this just when I start to relax, it happens again. I am trying to tell myself that it happens, that the lack of pain is a good thing and the fact that I am shattered and emotional are all good signs but I am finding the whole ?secret life? of early pregnancy hard today. I actually have quite a lot of work to do and no inclination whatsoever to do it. Roll on Friday and the scan, I really hope it can give DH and I some comfort.
