Congrats Beansprout! Hope this is a very very sticky LO .

Mum03- any news?

Rah- best of luck and lots of love. Hope to hear from you soon.

And lots of love to everyone else xx

Hello all

Haven't been checking for a few days, I seem to have missed lots!

Firstly - I'm sorry to see you taking a break, Rah, but I can completely understand why - however hard the decision to take a break is, relaxation from the frantic TTC does seem to help. I hope all goes well at the fertily appointment in July - that is really not long away now!

Beany - Congratulations! Glad to hear you feeling that this time is different - when you feel ready come over the TTC graduates thread and we'll look after you. Do you think they'll give you an early scan? Keeping everything crossed for you.

Mum03 - keeping everything crossed for you too! hope this time is right for you! Don't feel you need to give up because of your age - many women have children into their 40's nowadays. My mum had my younger brother at 39, which 25 years ago, was ancient - now it is probably about normal!!. Take care of yourself and keep positive

Ready - Sorry you don't think this month was right - hopefully next month will be better. i think you sound as if you are under a bit of outside TTC stress, which can't be helping. remember to look after yourself!

MrsMc - I'll obviously see you on the other thread, but just wanted to say that I don't think there is any hard and fast rule what temps should do once pg as long as they stay above your coverline. The only time to start worrying I would say if there was a progressive steep decline in temps over a short amount of time. Up and down fluctuations will be nothing more, than external factors, such as the weather and how well you slept etc, I would think.

Hope everyone else is doing well?

take care all.

Congratulations Beansprout!

Mum03 - how are things going for you, I have my fingers crossed for you.

Got a BFP this morning . Am feeling very anxious though, after the chem pregnancy last month. The line was very clear but not the full on dark line I wanted to see. Much clearer than anything from last month though, there was no mistaking it.

Have a severe case of line anxiety but have decided to not keep testing as for me, that way madness lies.

Mum03 - how are you?

Big hello to everyone else

NappyValley - There's no hard and fast rules as to what we can discuss on this thread - I do know that greedy is an advocate of agnus castus. In my opinion it's something that you should not self-prescribe, but that's just because I am a bit of a baby . Doesn't VitB6 lengthen the luteal phase also? And someone on another thread also said that just taking wellwoman supplement has lengthened her LP by one day. How often do you have a 9 day LP? It's rare for the LP to fluctuate isn't it? It's normally the part of the cycle that is relatively constant? Or so I thought?
I am sure that someone else will have more of an insight for you - I just wanted to say that I would err on the side of caution with AC as I have read a fair amount of negative things about it too. Tread with caution. Fingers crossed

Girls not sure if I should be addressing this on a differnet thread, if so point the way.

BUT.... as I have had 3 months now with a v short luteal phase I have been googling to see if there is anything that can help. I think that taking Vitex agnus-castus (chasteberry) should help.

Has anyone tried it knows of it etc. Greedy this mihgt be one for your unfathomable knowledge.

Hope everyone is doing well... fingers and toes are crossed for all of you!!

forgot to temp today but as am in AF does not matter!

Bean/Mum03 I am sending lots of positive vibes your way. As you say, you never know til TFLB!!!

Have managed not to rip anyone's head off at work this month which is an improvement this week, although I was wearing a baggy top yesterday and my boss got a VERY filthy stare when he said "anything you need to tell us". I think he just wants to get excited for me so to speak!

Back to work now.

big to all. How are our recent BFPs feeling?? Remember to keep breathing in and out and don't PANIC!!!!

Hang in there ladies, you just NEVER know!

Hi Mum03, I'm trying to feel positive this month. CD29 and temp is still high and I know we had sex on the right days, so am trying to think that it is not all over until the fat lady bleeds . That said, I have been all over the place this week, so please take this as my aim rather than the reality!! I'm usually really crampy leading up to my period and that hasn't been the case (apart from one day, when I had the dip).

Anyway, pep talk aside, we shall have to see. How are you feeling today?

Hi to everyone else.

Beansprout - you and I are due af on the same day, I am feeling very negative and already assuming af will definitely be arriving, how about you? I read that you are worried about testing, I can understand that. Are you feeling positive or negative about this month? At least if we get af together we will not be alone for being cycle buds...

thanks mum03, I wouldn't have worked that out!
Will post it tomorrow!

Beansprout - I think that some instructions on posting charts are here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1366&threadid=227867&stamp=070217121001 Hope it helps.

ok, sorry to be a dimwit but I have completed my chart but don't know how to post it so you can see the story so far... can anyone advise?

ooh, ooh, ooh - right, will do homework tonight and try and post my charts later!! Thanks Ready!!

Beany - FertilityFriend is free You get VIP on trial, then it's just the basic package for free after that. That's all I have - just to share charts with all you.

Thanks ladies all that you say is true and much appreciated.

Beansprout ? your advice was very sound and you are right, I need to keep faith and try to relax more, relaxing is not my forte!

Yours too Basil ? stress and me have always been buddies! Thank you.

Good point Greedy, thanks

Nappy - sorry you are back up at the top again.

Ready - hope you have a good break. I'm afraid I don't have an on-line chart. I'm really skint and couldn't justify the cost! Temps have been pretty steady though - pre ov 36.3-.4 and post 36.6-.9.

MrsMc ? °CD45 26/27dpo LP10-12 (10th cycle) BFP

I?ve taken myself off the list because it?s highly unlikely of a BFP, and I won?t be temping next month as I will be away.

Rah - Sorry to see you taking a break ? but completely understand why. I think that MN can be tremendously helpful at times, but then other times it all gets too much. I think a break will do you the world of good. You know I echo the sentiments of the other girls ? you are a wonderful person ? and I wish you all the best! Hope to hear from you soon. Hugs xx

Minxi - Hope you have (had) a lovely holiday ? I will be (am) away when you return ? so I hope that when we next post on here together we both have some good news to share! Fingers crossed

MrsMcJnr - Limbo is pretty poo if I am honest, DH has always been the stronger of the 2 of us ? so he is coping just fine. Although I do know he is worried ? just trying to be strong so that I don?t worry anymore than I am. It was lovely of you to offer help if I need it ? a true star!
How are you? Are you continuing to temp to keep an eye for any dips? Try not to worry too much ? hope you are getting the best possible care! All the best.

Beansprout - Do you have an online chart? I am eager to have a nosy at it I am glad you have decided to hang fire on testing for a bit ? I think it is best to wait for as long as possible ? there will be much less ambiguity the longer you can hold out. Fingers crossed

Mum03 - Sorry to hear that you are not feeling too positive! I know this month is a no-go for us because I ovulated so late and there was no effort at the right time. Tut, I know. But anyway, my point is ? you may have my positivity for this month if you like?

Iwillbe - I can understand you wanting to pay for a private scan if it will set your mind at rest. How much can you see 9 weeks? All the best chick!

Seaside - Don?t worry about the morning sickness ? or lack of it. You might just be one of the lucky ones who don?t get it! It?s possibly your babies way of rewarding you for being so patient

Jess - I am sorry your emotions are getting on top of you. I will say though, don?t go back on the pill ? just try to relax and let your body do it?s normal thing. I know it is easier said than done. You are right 3 months is not that long ? although at times it probably feels like an eternity! Hang in there flower!

Basilbrush - I think it is fair to say that you can?t really tell anything until you?ve done at least one full chart ? but looking at your chart and noting the EWCM I would be inclined to wonder if the dip temp is accurate? How many times do you take your temp? I usually take mine a couple of times to be sure I am not getting an odd reading.

NappyValley* - Sorry to see you back to the top of the list, but nice to see you all the same. Sorry to hear about DS and his plaster shenanigans! Hope he is ok? And you too

Cityangel - Not sure if you are still about on this thread, I?ll catch you on the spotters thread ? hope all is well?

Duchesse & Feedmenow - How are you both feeling? Getting closer to the business phase? Good luck!

Sorry if I have missed anyone ?

Morning ladies. Got to make this quick as am at work.

Back to the top of the list for me I'm afraid. Was really hopeful this month, but am strangly OK with it all.

Another BFP that is absolutely brilliantly brilliant.

Holiday was good, but spend Sat in hospital as Ds pulled arm out of plaster. Not as exciting as Rah's holiday stories unfortunately.

OK can anyone give me a brief catch up/ summary of the last 7 days activites??

Aw thanks greedy - am in the grip of extreme 2ww paranoia and general oversensitivity!!
Will slope off and try and do something more useful than jump everytime I feel the slightest twinge!!
