thanks hun, so am quite new to this charting/temp/OV thing, even though we have OV sticks, I used them ever since the m/c and never once did it say I OV'd, even though I know I must have. So, if I am on CD1 of my cycle today, does OV happen around 9-14 days, obviously I usually have a 28 day cycle but because of last month, this month has become a 33 day cycle? God, its confusing! Also started doing temps this month - so when there is a surge in temp, does that mean you are OVing? Sorry for all the questions!! X

Hi siennammm,

So sorry to hear about your sad news but welcome to the May thread and good luck!

I'll have everything crossed for you

Flumpytigger · 25/04/2007 11:10

Hi everyone,

Sorry I popped in and then popped out again and haven't been back since! Works been crazy and I've also been trying not to think about TTC because I'm worried nothing will happen if I think about it too much, iykwim

Wow Imawurzel that's so exciting! I agree with everyone else, I reckon you should try to wait till saturday, at least then you should get a more positive line and can go and see the GP to confirm first thing next week. I can't believe you were so restrained and didn't leap on dh to give him the good news!

Scorpio I'm so glad that you had a chat with your dp and are a bit more chilled out. Fingers crossed the new chilled you will have positive affects

Any more news Boobylicious? I've got everything crossed for you!

Goingfor3 I agree with everyone else, don't listen to that nasty GP. What a load of unsubstantiated nonsense, if she was really so concerned, she'd book you in for blood tests. Nasty pasty

Congratulations Bbabymumma! I can totally relate to your anxiousness & nerves. I think I'll be the same if & when it happens...

Happy 4 year anniversary Meto! I hope you've managed to make up for your dh being away.. plenty of bd'ing either side

Fruitful I reckon we should all follow your logic and have a word with the girls and the boys - I like your thinking!

MrsMcJnr I hope your boss has stopped driving you crazy...

Hello to everyone else! Fingers crossed for a productive May for us all

I have informed dh that he needs to be on top form from this weekend until after the bank holiday. Tbh I don't think he could believe his luck, he's normally only used to getting it once every few months

Let's hope he can handle the pressure!

Need to add myself to the list:
Flumpytigger - CD5 - Ov 8th May (I think) and af due 23rd May..

siennammm · 25/04/2007 10:47

hi there, can i join your may thread? Just got AF this mornin, last month had a m/c on 24th March so have been waiting for AF - thought there was a chance that I might get another BFP as had all the symptoms but here she is so its back to TTC this month. x

Bbabymumma · 25/04/2007 09:51

imawurzel (are you a westcountry girl by any chance??) a line is a line!! Did it come up quickly? very exciting.

lexie - sorry to hear AF arrived. I was ridiculously late last month because of a d&v bug I had. My dd had been very ill with it and had gone into hospital so I now realise that the stress of all of it must have delayed it. Good luck for May.

Scorpio- happy to hear you more chilled. Good luck with weekend.

everyone else hello

scorpio1 · 25/04/2007 09:28

imawurzel you naughty girl!i read the other thread.....

scorpio1 · 25/04/2007 09:23

tiger - visit due to commence friday at 2200hrs.i am going to the pub!she is going sunday evening.its not my dss that i mind
How you anyway?

Imawurzel - wait until saturday.by then you will know whether to spend so much on a test, and if it is +, the line wont need extra interpreting-it will be clear!GP wont do much, their tests are only about 50miu anyway.how many days late are you? fingers crossed that this is it for you! (hold off the testing!be strong!)ps-if you are desperate i have a few tests i could send you in post today-cheapy ones though.

Boobylicious-any news??ov tests can be used as pg tests too, have a look at peeonastick.com, explains more there.

Goingfor3 - how are you?hoping you ok.dont listen to that nasty gp.

Everyone else ok?

Scorpio CD6 already! ov due 03 may

im ok btw, bit more chilled.dp stayed in last night because i told him how i felt,and we had a really nice night in together and im going hairdressers tomorrow!

tigerschick · 25/04/2007 09:11

Morning Ladies.

Wurzel - Sounds interesting. It's up to you about the docs. Not sure what they would do yet. If you can bear to wait until Saturday you would get a darker line and be more certain, then you could go to the docs next week, either way.

Boobylicious - Hope your body does something soon to tell you what is going on. I know what it's like and frustrating doesn't cover it! When is/was your af due?

MrsMcJnr - Hope your boss is a little nicer today at least.

Scorpio - When is the impending visit due to begin? Don't stress too much if you can help it, it's only a couple of days then they'll be gone. And at least your dp will be home while you're ov-ing!

Everyone else - Hope you're all well and happy today.

dressedupnowheretogo · 25/04/2007 07:55

Imawurzel · 25/04/2007 06:53

My heart is jumping around inside!!
DH still in bed.
Damn it, no money to buy one from chemist til friday!!!
So no definate knowing til sat morning!!!
Yes Tigerschick i did havs 'something on sat eve/sun morning, but ti wasn't 'blood'.
Do i make apptointment with doc just in case or wait and see what other test will show???

Kaleidoscope · 24/04/2007 23:17

mrsmcjnr, Id love to hint at who I was but I had to change my name due to a family member reading all my posts

tigerschick · 24/04/2007 21:57

Scorpio - Sorry your sds's mum is being difficult. Hope the weekend isn't too stressful. At least you can have a glass or two if needs be

Lexi - Listen to Scorpio, she seems to know what she's talking about ime!

Wurzel - you count your cd from the first day of your last period so if af hasn't showed up then you're on the same cycle as before, iyswim. Didn't she show up a couple of days ago? Or was that just spotting? Can't remember and off to bed now so will catch up tomorrow [sleepy head]

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 20:47

hope you ok lexi

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 20:45

Thanks Scorpio. Af just arrived so i guess i'm now officially on the May thread. Will still see DR as now 6 consecutive months and a few before that of TTC no. 2

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 19:39

Lexie - firstly the stress of wondering where it is will do something to you! change in exercise, diet, another female of menstruating age living with you (who normally doesnt),stressful events-moving,death,etc.

a menstrual cycle is so dependant on many factors working in harmony.maybe you ovd late, or something has happened to make your lp longer this month.

stop testing - if you are pg now you will be pg in two weeks time - try again then.it may be the stress of worrying where it is but bfn that is making it stay away.after doc told me this i let it go in my head and af arrived next day

HTH ?

Imawurzel · 24/04/2007 18:30

Hello all.

Still no sign of AF!!
Does this make me on CD6??
I really hope it's nothing bad.
Roll on the weekend!!!

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:51

NO i didn't BFN...aggghhhh stress

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:51

Sorry going mad i meant BNF's

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:50

Scorpio - When you went to the Dr about no AF but getting BFP's did she suggest anything else apart from your aniebiotics? I'm now 7 days late and BFN? Any idea what's going on?? Anybody got any suggestions.

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 16:41

nope,i have to stay here!

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 16:41

How long did it take you to conceive?

Bbabymumma · 24/04/2007 16:39

thanks goingfor3. Silly gp. honestly! you must go back and see another.

Scorpio1 - no chance you can go away with your 2 at the weekend? - family or somewhere else. Sounds like she's a nightmare!

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 16:29

Bbabymumma - It's good to hear an infertile person got a BFP! Congratulations!
