Temping Buddies 6

Hi Girlies.....

It's Rah the lurker!

BIG {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
to all...... But it is definitely the rain!

I feel like crap as well and have been really pee'd off with life recently but I think the weather is really playing a hand in it!

Plus (I know TMI) but my husband has pissed me off...I have been trying to leave it longer into our fertile period before we have sex, so his sperm is more potent... but just found out he has bloodly pleasured himself... lol.... GRRRRRRRR I give up! I have been playing it really casual this month, no temps or pee'ing on stick yet... but lost it today....I'm just a control freak! How dare he!

Plus our fertility appointment is on Tuesday... so everyone fingers crossed for us!

Signing off a nervous but annoyed rah XX

Gracie - I like you trying to be more positive. I wish I could summon some optimism at the moment! I'm still not my usual positive self to be honest.

Fettle - Lovely to "see" you. Things are still up in the air with DH's job, pretty scary thinking about it all. But hey ho. House is on the market, and had a few viewings so far. One couple keen, but have more properties to view, but considering an offer, and a couple that came this morning are coming back for a second viewing next week. Fingers crossed.
3rd trimester huh! Where does the time go? I am so thrilled for you - but also a little sad that I still haven't joined you on the graduates thread. Pop in and see us again won't you!

Minxi My EW usually dries up right after my temp shoots up, so I would imagine that while it's there it's time to get down to it

NappyValley - You are right, of course, 2009 will be worth the wait if it has to be that way. I shouldn't be so mopey. It's just after FTC all this time, it starts to get me down.

Spugs - Welcome to the thread. Hope you enjoy temping! Good luck

Iwillbe - Lovely to hear your news, glad all is well. Take care of yourself

Hope everyone is just grand.

Ready - sorry didn't mean to forget you, how are you, feeling any more positive?

Spugs - welcome lets hope that your stay here is short. I've just started temping properly this month and hope that I get more of an idea when I am ovualting (or if I am at all!) Feel free to add yourself to list when you can

Nappy, Minxi and duchesse - hope your managing to get in as much bding as possible.

Thinking and rattling - looks like we may be coming up to the cruical bding time together, fingers crossed for us all.

I'm trying to be alot more positive since my last depressing post - very hard to be cheerful with all this rain but trying my best. Hope your all having a good weekend

Hiya, Im new to temping, ive been messing around with it but not taking it first thing in the morning so not doing it properly. I have just ordered a proper thermometor and some of those strip things and im going to start properly when af arrives in a couple of weeks. Im hoping itll make things a bit more obvious as i hate not know ing if ive ovd or not and this month i feel like i have about 3 times!!!

hello old buddies

i have been away for a while so just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone!

congratulations mum03 i have put a message for you on ttc gradueates.

ready and rah nice to see you back

i wont harp on because i can tell from reading a few posts the mood on this thread is at a low at this point i wish the bfp panda would wake up from hibernation and throw one everyones way!

i had a scan at 8.5 weeks and baby is doing fab - this is the furthest i have got without any complications im very happy and hope it continues.

love to all xx

That's interesting I might have to pin him down before and after his trip away just in case

Hi girls

sorry just popping in. Thinking don't write off this month because DH is away. Ready will vouch for the fact that another gradate of this thread, Greedy, conceived while her DH was away in US. He obviously had rambo sperm that lasted up to a week!! Definitely worth a shot!

How's everyone else?

Ready - how you doing sweetheart? how's the house? Any news on DH's job?

All well here, cant believe nearly at the 3rd trimester. Getting more tired again, but wouldn't change it for the world. It's been worth the 2 years trying to get here. Hang in there! It will happen!

Still thinking about you all lots.

ewcm is usually just before ovulation, so go forth and get babydancing

Sadly, this month is out for us, I realised my DH is away the weekend I will be ovulating...so it will be practising for us this month

But there is ALWAYS next month and this way I have nothing to worry aboug during the two week wait and lots of time to drink wine

I am confused....ovulation pains(cd10/11) beginning of the week then ewcm today (cd14)...haven't focused enough on temperature....have I ovulated already ?

Yup if you OV early, then your cycle should be shorter..... OR you get your BFP early!!

I really think this weather is getting everyone down. We need our 2 weeks of sun for the year.

Gracie I feel for you hun, but yes a year is normal. I know that helps v little with the way you feel. It took us 11 months with DS. Felt like a lifetime at the time.

mmm this is cycle 11 for me this time round - no pressure!!!!!

As far as I understand it, the luteal phase is the consistent part of the cycle (fluctuating my a day or two max, is what I read!). If ovulation occurs early, then the cycle will be shorter. I know myself that when I ovulate later, my cycle is longer.

usually once you have ovulated your period would be 10 - 14 days later i.e. however long your luteal phase is ? I believe!

Ready - I'm so sorry your feeling so down, I'm afraid I've lost all optimisim as well - although I have spoken to a couple of people in the last week who had taken at least a year ttc before they fell for their first babies. I know that proberbly won't help but I have to keep that in mind otherwise I end up thinking the worst about my fertility! (or lack of I should say)

minxi - I know what you mean about too tired to get some action, I'm only on CD6 and I'm tired even thinking about whats coming up!! Although it's my first month properly temping and just hope that I am ovulating. The last time I did temping I was ill and I was all over the place so didn't really know if I ovulated or not.

Nappy, duchesse, thinking - hope your all ok

Girls, I know how you feel - I too am fed up this cycle maybe its the weather - rain !! Dh home yesterday but too tired to get any action and so I fear this month is going to be lost on no time/tiredness etc - will try today and this weekend...but we are also away at a wedding ao life is just hectic.
Anyway group hug is good idea nappy will chat later

Hey all. finally managed to get online after having to do various jobs tonight including fixing our wifi setup!!

Totally forgot to temp today and forgot to do OPK test. Which is stupid really as I will be annoyed if we don't get on with it this monht, but just too tired all the time and cannot summon energy.

Sorry that we are all feeling a bit lack lustre at the mo. Ready I have always admired your positivity, which is TOTALLY allowed to wane. I think you guys are right though about getting on with life/ other hobbies. Before DS I remember having to make a tough decision about a promotion and at the end of the day you cannot put your life on hold waiting for pg. When it happens there will be many changes you have to make so you might as well get busy now. Take up a new hobby, plan a holiday anything!

Hang in there girls 2009 may seem a long way away, but the wait will be worth it.

OK I will shut up now!!

GROUP HUG

So it's more a fruit thing, than a banana thing. Cool.
Shit. I hadn't really thought about it all in terms of timescales - if we need assisted conception, we'll be a childless couple for a long while yet

Sorry, have I prompted panic banana buying? Just the only fruit I can tempt him with during the day. Lots of fruit based puddings at the moment though.

Lovely to hear from you again Ready. I am with you on the waning enthusiasm. I've worked out with NHS waits around here, if I have to go down the IVF route, if I'm lucky, I'll be pregnant early 2009. So really have to think of a few other things to do with my life until then.

Hi ladies. I am really down in the dumps at the moment, so my time on MN is sporadic. I just can't seem to summon the enthusiasm I once had.

Rattling - Fingers crossed all goes well with the sub-fertility clinic. What is the significance of bananas by the way?

NappyValley - I have to admit I started temping again ... I had a progesterone test to book in for, so I needed to be sure when I had ovulated, as Day21 is not 7dpo for me. But I haven't wanted to post on here as it was part way through the cycle. I may start posting again next month... alternatively, my chart is online if anyone wants to nose

How is everyone else? I am sorry if I have lowered the mood somewhat with my little moan...

duchesse R U there. Getting ready for action???

But ever hopeful for a successful month so will keep going. The nausea seems to have ebbed though.
