Temp Buds 5

Ready - Thanks for your concern... just need some time out... too much disappointment and all that! I have been seeing a counselor, as the cruse org was not for me, so been paying to see someone (£45 per hour...phew!) So working it out healthily! Your in the home stretch now for this cycle.. so hope its a home goal... lol sorry could not resist!

Beansprout - hope all is well and your temps seem to be saying 'pregnant', why don't you go down the doc's and ask him/her to confirm it, then the worry of actually are you pregnant is out the way>... and you can start worrying about being pregnant... LOL
Thats a point, how comes you get to worry about a child from the moment of pre-conception to the day you die! Blimey if you look at it like that its one hell of a commitment!

NappyValley - the sailing sounded loads of fun, did you have a good time? Sorry you have been feeling crappy... so annoying when everything is in the way! Tell the builders to shift it!

mum03 - Hi there, so glad to hear from you, how are you! Hope all is well and it sounds bad but I miss your rants... as when you rant you are so funny..but of course preferred if you were happy all the time!

mornings all,

Just thought I would drop in to say hi...

Going to Wales at the weekend, to the MIL's! For 11 days!!!

I still have not temp'd yet, but I bet when I'm around ovulation temptation may prevail!

minxi - sorry to hear about AF, a few people I have met are taking clomid and its taken a few cycles to work...never heard of it working on the first cycle. I hope next month the cycle is easier, I also heard the side effects can be quite harsh... so well done!

MrsMcJnr - Totally understand about your work position, I found it horrible that everyone knew about my personal life. If I had not been made redundant I am not sure what I would of done about work, so you are being so brave. Plus one thing I learned is its not about them and being competitive (because those environments are so competitive) its about your desires and what you want out of life. If work is not number one (sadly for some of the girls at my work it was and they were not nice people for it) and you can accept people's antics etc... but can rise above it because you have more important things to concern yourself with. IYKWIM

Hello Ready thanks, I know you are right but I always think people will be worse to me than they are, think my self-confidence took a knock as the same time as my heart, soul and body over the MC. I?m not used to having to share my private life with work so much I guess. How are you? Glad you are getting positive OPKs I got ?ive last night at 7 and ?ive this morning at 11am but that?s ok, I know it?s early, just don?t want to miss the boat. Started dreaming about EWCM again

Minxi - Oh sweetheart, I am sure that they understood your tears! Don?t feel bad about letting go of your emotions ? sometimes it is just the ticket to a clear head! Chart spotted this morning, and saw a RED M on your chart ? are you ok??

NappyValley - Sorry that you have been so low. I understand, it can really get to you when there are little things that all build up. I find writing a list really helps, then I feel good when I cross things off. Sailing sounds like fun though!!

Beansprout - I am sorry that you still haven?t had that conclusive BFP!! Hang in there, and just keep temping, cos 18 high temps are as good as a line!! Fingers crossed for you Are the lines getting darker??

Rah - I am really sorry that you are feeling so low at the moment, but don?t apologise for not coming on MN ? if you need a break, that is the most important thing! I really cannot imagine the things you have been through, and your story breaks my heart ? so you should do whatever you need to do to stay strong. Thinking of you, flower. Take care.

Rattling - ROFL at Operation Shag. Sorry to hear that you and DH have been poorly ? but function over frivolity is better than nowt And you are on the mend, just in time!!

Mum03 - How?s the not temping going??

MrsMc - I am sorry that you are getting the icy shoulder ? sod them, that?s what I say!! Don?t give a stuff what they think. Sorry but you have a medical appointment, that you need to attend ? work will have to deal with it!! I know it isn?t easy though, when you have enough emotional concerns, without work politics. Hang in there flower. Big hugs. So tell us some more about the Mother Ship Plan
OPKs ? well, I got a strong line on CD14 and I OVd on CD16, so I think I would have got a really good positive if I had tested at midnight on 14! Relief.

Seaside - Just in case you are having a lurk ? Big hug.

Everyone else ? hope you are not having the rain that this part of the country is having! Boooooooooooo. Chin up all

Morning all Had a lovely weekend away but am back in work and getting the icy shoulder from colleagues so probably only a 6 on NappyValley?s scale today. My temp was 36.1 at 5.20 when I woke up to a coughing fit so rather than adjust it up an hour and hike my temp over my coverline, I?ll leave it as is. Not well anyway so assume it will be higher than its meant to be. Called for my blood results today, thyroid is fine, blood count was ok but they want more blood to re-check that and iron so have to go back on Thursday. Work are not pleased but what can I do?! DH and I have started ?the mission of return to Mother ship (from Father ship)?. Still getting ?ive OPKs but then I am only CD14 and don?t expect to OV until CD16-18. Having pains though so that?s promising. Enlisted the help of an old pillow to hoist the hips up post party ? well, you just never know if it works or not!!

Rattling, I hope you are feeling much better. I always worry about not feeling well around OV as body might decide it can?t cope with anything other than looking after me .

Hello Feedmenow nice to have you with us. Ready did a great job of explaining how it all works but ask us questions anytime

RahRah ? how are you hon? Feeling ok? Hope you had fun at the church clear up. So sorry you are feeling low. I really hope your BFPs in the pipeline.

Hello Ready ? great explanation for Feedmenow I think Confident is great hon the whole process of BFP hunting is exhausting and you are doing all you can so you should be confident how are you getting on with the OPKs?

Hey Iwillbe hope you had fun on the bike. Shout at me if I am wrong but it sounds like the temps are getting you stressed, don?t let them hon, you must see the wood for the trees, there will be ups and downs and days you just have to discredit all together but you will see a pattern overall if you stand back from them .

Hello Minxi - sorry about the bleed hope it was a false alarm and if not, I hope May is your lucky month

Hello NappyValley - 7 on the scale is pretty good I think

Hi Beansprout fingers crossed that this really is it for you. Hope you bean gets much stronger as the days go on.

Beansprout - do not fret yet, my tests with dc1 were very faint for two weeks... the tests can vary in the level of hcg they measure even with the same type of test. Your temps being high are important too. {{{hugs}}} to you anyway.

Rah - {{{{hug}}}}

Yet another stupidly faint line. Have decided to stop going quietly mad (was awake for 3 hours in the night and I would have tested then if it wouldn't have woken dh and raised questions over my sanity ). Will try to leave it for a couple of days. Temp still high so we live in hope.

Have made a (sugar free!) banana cake with ds this morning so we are off to have a bit of a pig out

Rattling - sounds like you really are in the "business end" of the month. Good luck!

Morning to everyone else

Operation Shag didn't quite work out as DH's sinuses are bunged up and I have a sore throat which stopped me sleeping most of the weekend. We still managed to BD on Sunday, but it was a bit more functional than frivolous.

Feel much better today. Faint band on OPK yesterday which suggests OV tomorrow, so we may be getting well just in time.

Minxi - has AF arrived yet, or was it just one day bleeding? Sounds a bit unusual.

Beansprout - have you tested again today? Still got everything crossed for you.

Hope everyone enjoyed the good weather - still hoping for rain here, but not too concerned about having to deal with the sunshine instead .

OMG my typing has not got any better! LOL

• Truth - instead of true

Sorry

Morning all... sorry been really busy over the weekend. To tell you the true I have not temped this cycle yet or really come onto MN... I will just put it down as 36.2 until I feel I want to temp again. Just feeling really down about everything and need to pull myself back up. Sorry for being pants and not supporting you guys, but need a breather... Just feel so disappointed and its making me miss Bertie more... so need to shift my focus for a while.
Hope all is well for every one!

Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it. So far no period so am keeping all manner of things crossed.

Minx - I am a dep casualty too. It's 18 months now since I came off it, and well, here I am. It's awful, awful stuff and has been the cause of much misery in this house. It made me depressed, trashed my sex drive and it then took months for my periods to come back, and is, I suspect, part of the reason ttc this baby is taking so long. All the others in my peer group already have their second now, so I know how you feel.

Nappy - I'm also seeking solace in Easter chocolate this evening. I raise my (chocolate) egg to you!

Ready and greedy - thank you both. Cycle varies from 26 to 32 days so difficult to know. Most recently has been pretty much 28 days so tomorrow feels significant! Arghhhh!!

Where's that chocolate?!!

Been out sailing with my dad today. Mum was watching ds while dh got some work done. Have been really depressed and grumpy this weekend. Don't think it is because of ttc, more fed up with constantly having a list of jobs a mile long and having builders in to do our drive. All weekend we have had to walk over a long plank as we cannot walk on the drive. It is covered in a black dust and the cats have made havoc with black prints over everything!!

Ok whinge over with. It is not like me to feel depressed though except for inabout a weeks time when AF starts. but i have lots of easter choc on stand by.

beansprout I am sure the not knowing for certain is heartaching. I had 3 negative tests with ds1 (yes I only did 1 test per day!!!:0) ) How do you feel? sore breasts etc? also are you testing first thing in the morning? I am sure you are though. keeping everthing (except my legs) crossed.

minxi you have to hang onto that social life!! although it is v tough when nct group get preggy so easily. ds is only 17 months and 3 out of my group are due to drop in next 2 months. all fell at frist atempt. I just keep repeating my mantra of "I am happy for them" - actually I really am, but a little jealous. Don't give up hope yet, it will happen. Hope hangover has now improved.

beansprout - my tests were very faint to start with too. i think some people just have lower HCG levels than others. if you look up the normal ranges on the internet they vary HUGELY. and dont forget 18 high temps in a row means you are pg too!
hope the line gets more convincing for you soon

Beansprout - Oh flower, how frustrating. Sorry if I fuelled the fire by saying a line is a line. Try to relax as much as you can, and try testing again in a day or two. How long are your cycles normally??
And don't be daft, this is definitely the place to agonise over ttc! We are all in it together, and we want to support each other through thick and thin!!! Hang in there!!

Ready - thanks for asking. I tested again and got a line so faint that it really was a hold-it-up-to-the-light-but-then-again-are-my-eyes-playing-tricks-on-me jobby? I'm really all over the place. I know the MN mantra of no such thing as a false positve, but now I am convinced that HCG levels are just dropping and period is probably on it's way. That said, temp is still high. Then again, it's still only day 28. Am all over the place and not sure if this is even the place to be agonising about it, which is why I have been a bit quiet. The only thing I can do is wait.....

Iwillbe - hope you had a good day! Your temp still sounds nice and high so will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Feedme - am really glad you are here too. I've found temping to be really useful as it tells me what is happening and eliminates some of the guess work. I keep my thermometer on my bedside table and just reach over for it. I don't even sit up and put it in the same place in my mouth each day, so paranoid am I about affecting the result!!

Minxi - good night? How are you today? Any more bleeding?

Duchesse - how's your house? Is it behaving itself?

MrscJnr - How are you feeling? This business really does take its toll. Hope you are ok

Rattling - Hope operation shag is going to plan

Seaside - You ok? It's all gone quiet over there....

Everyone else - hope you are all having good weekends!!

Phew!!

Iwillbe - I told you a dip in temp didn't definitely mean anything negative It's impossible to tell from one temp. Fingers crossed for you flower I sometimes take me temp during the day - I don't know why, because it means nothing - so many factors will affect your temp once you are up and about - so don't read anything into a day-time temp.

NappyValley - BFP means Big Fat Positive, the result on the pregnancy test that we are all yearning for! And BFN is The Evil Twin

Minxi - I hope you had a great night! How are you feeling today, and more importantly - have you bled anymore????

Rah - Hope the cleaning went well and you got lots of nice cakes to eat

Seaside - Hope you are feeling more chipper soon, hon, miss ya! Hug.

MrsMc - I hope you had a lovely weekend with your friend. And you were nothing but relaxed

CityAngel - I think we are due on the same day - fingers crossed for us

Beansprout - How are you feeling? Have you tested again and got a stronger line?

Rattling - It started to rain here this morning and I wondered if that meant your part of the country it was too - hope you got a chance to go out on your horse

Duchesse - Hope you have had utilities

Fettleandminifettle, Honeyapple and Greedy - BIG HUGS! Hope you are all feeling wonderful And still pulling some strings to get some BFPs over this way

The thread seems to have gone a tad quiet, at the moment. I hope that it is just the nice weather keeping people away from their computers and it is not because everyone is getting fed up with waiting for the BFPs

me and dp are off to southend for the day on the motorbike so i promise i will catch up later of tomorrow if we get back late. last few days has been me me me with my temps!! sorry!
my temp has gone up by 0.02 degrees and not plummeted as i thought.
has anyone else taken their temp during the day? my temp yesterday was 36.72 even though it was high in the morning. - is that right?

Forgot to take temp this morning (and am usually pretty lazy post OV).

You can experience bleeding that is not AF such as polips etc. Which are kind of short sharp heavy flows.

I think today was a 7 - Can cope with all but news of a friend being pregnant (temp buds excluded obviously) although wouldn't mind a few extra hours kip.

Feedmenow welcome I am new to this group too. They are very lovely (but don't tell them I said so). Charting is a great way to see what your body is up to as well as give yourself a more focused chance of getting your timing right. It worked really well for us first time round. But seriously you need to have the thermometer under your pillow and take temp before you even get up. My temp goes all over the shop if I even get out of bed or have a drink of water.

I have finally worked out what AF is but what does BFP actually stand for?

Minxi - I am sure you are right about the LP - and if you had pains on 12/13 then that would make it 11/12 day LP wouldn't it??
I heard that Clomid can cause pain, as the follicles are over-stimulated I'd imagine?? But I imagine that it's a good sign?
It's strange that you have no blood at all now - how much blood was there before??
Enjoy your gardening, I have been out in mine throughout the day, popping online to check DHs progress, and of course checking on MN - very quiet isn't it!
Enjoy your evening out too - take your mind off of everything.
