TTC APRIL 2007 Thread Ctnd.....

You know we love you really

its beautiful.infact its gorgeous.actually i think i love it [sticks tongue out at tiger especially]

you all keep teasing me about it

plummy, its mine now!!!!

Is it nice?

Sorry!

Naughty Tiger! Must stop teasing Scorpio!

TIGER I WON I WON I WON

havent told dp how much he is paying for it yet......

Shantih-i'm always hungry/eating so couldnt tell you!TBH when im early pg i hate food and always lose weight-feel sicky and very tired.

Oh, I forgot to ask, Scorpio, any word on the bag?

Congrats Scorpio1! I've a slight addiction to ebay myself so I understand the glory you feel.

Anyone think constant hunger is a good sign?? All I want to do is eat. Unlike the typical pre-AF cravings, I'm craving all the healthy stuff...apples, carrots, rice, turkey & dressing (ok dressing may not be tops on the healthy list). AND water. I can't get enough.

tiger-uni can be abit difficult sometimes-mainly the studying time needed when i'm not there, i end up doing it in the evenings because then the dcs are asleep.but then i get so tired!i just am determind to not let having dcs so young stop me getting the education i want.

I WON THE BAG
I WON THE BAG
I WON THE BAG

Sorry,did anyone notice i won the bag???

Afternoon Laydeez!

Just had a lot of catching up to do, and I was on here this morning! Hello to newbies and not-been-on-for-a-while-ies! It is strange that there are so many late afs about the place. We had a spate of bfps but that seems to have slowed down for now ... hopefully!

I know how you feel, having an irregular cycle. I would agree that testing as late as you can bear to is the best plan as it is so disappointing, not to mention expensive, to get a bfn due to testing too early. I tested far too early with dd and then spent a few weeks "living it up" before realising that I should be abstaining! Hope everyone gets their lovely bfps before too much longer, even if you wait a while before testing

Scorpio - your dss sound fantastic, and I take my hat off to you; uni was hard enough without 2 los to worry about too!

might have to sneak a test on Thursday (CD32) as got a hospital appt to look at a couple of rogue moles, wd like to know if any chance I am before I go. Got some cheapy ebay ones though, saving the clearblue one until get a good result on the cheapies!

Sorry that should have been if you know when you OV'd!

Have a look at www.americanpregnancy.org web site as very useful.

Just to let you know: your cycle is split into two parts. Very basically the first part can vary loads depending on stress, physical activity etc but DPO (second part)will almost always be the same for one individual but vary between individuals.

Mine is usually 11 days so if i know when you ov'd you can track when AF due. Very helpful when you have irregular cycle like most of us.

That sounds like good news becklespeckle if you ov'd this month. Fingers crossed for you. Try to keep away from test till day 34!

What is going with all these late AFs? - fingers crossed. She really is a rude cow not showing up on time. Lets hope she's not showing up at all.

Anniemac - avoid testing until you are very late. The clearblue fairy makes too much money out of all of us with her early testing promises.

I think I stopped bding at the wrong part of my cycle this month. Damn. I used to have a short cycle but its all got messed up since dd. Have been very moody today - is that a sign of anything? Yes - its MOnday morning and I hate work!

Sounds promising Shanith! I am trying not to get my hopes up too high but I think this is the first time for months and months I have ov'd! I know that doesn't mean I am pg (in fact am fairly sure I'm not) but give it another few days and I will be in severe need of the Clearblue Fairy! CD29 here.

Just checking in. CD31 3-BFNs so far. Checked my dd1's baby book and saw 1st BFP for her wasn't until CD37. MORE WAITING!!! So much for EARLY testing, huh.

The good news is I know something's happening. I've felt funny in the lower tummy for 7 days. Feels a little like early AF signs but not. Other normal pre-AF symptoms MIA.

Best wishes to everyone this week. Hopefully there will be BFPs all around!!

Afternoon all! Hope everyone's okay today. Im a bit stressed as DSs have been fighting all morning - I will miss them when they go to school/nursery tomorrow though . Am very tired cos can't seem to stay asleep - keep waking up really thirsty in the night, grr... Never mind!
I have read (somewhere) that AF will usually arrive 12-19 days after ov so if you have an idea when you ov'd but cycles are irregular then I would test around day 14-19. Mine are really irregular but think am on a shortish one this time (for me), think ov'd around CD19 (possibly) so will try to hold out testing until CD34 or so if AF not here by then. Am expecting her though as have the bloating and filled boobs which normally arrive 7-10 days before she does.

finger's crossed for you then anniemac! I know it's a pain being irregular, I haven't tried testing for OV yet. I sometimes get a pain but I'm not really sure if it's an ovulation one. Guess I should start monitoring these things! My cycles have never been less than 28 days though.

annie-use longest cycle length before tesing for most accurate result

no, no-one ever looks after my children apart from me and nursery when i'm actually at uni. so ive bribed them with a lazy town dvd.will go in garden with them soon, theyre being so good bless them.

I spent a small fortune in clarks for them this morning.....tthey both wanted flashy ones!

i'm just taking it as it comes, im not too hung up on whats happening af-wise.it will be here soon no doubt

Yep it's a delightful phrase isn't it?! Why does it have to be compared to a food! I was gonna say I thought they were pricey. Internet is definitely the place to look. I get the impression the big brands are a bit of a con really! x

Bought first batch from chemist about 4 months ago when I didn't really know when to use them. SO expensive, so I bought a batch of 20 from Ebay. Turned up in the post the next day. They don't look so fancy as the big brand ones, but they seem to do the trick ie. results correspond with EWCM (hate that phrase). I'll be singing their praises to you if I'm successful this month! x

Thank you for that! Will prob give it a go. Are all makes of sticks much the same? Yes do let me know of any news, Keeping everything crossed for you!
