Morning all, I have no idea about temping so I can't offer any advice there I'm afriad.

All I can say is thank Crunchie it's Friday!!

Tessiebear · 01/10/2004 09:53

Oh Hula - i am totally perplexed!!! Surely there must be other factors that can make it go up and down anyway. i.e if you had a cold or were feeling slightly under the weather. Do you take it before you get out of bed in the morning?

Hulababy · 01/10/2004 09:46

I thought it was supposed to stay high for a few days. Even more puzzled by it all now. LOL!

It rose substabtially two days (36.59, 36.69) running after CD18,
then I missed a reading,
then it dipped (36.39), then it rose loads next day (36.79),
now a dip again (36.49).

Work that one out!!!!

Tessiebear · 01/10/2004 09:43

Well you can rest assured muddaof S that as soon as we get pg there will be NO nice maternity clothes ANYWHERE!
Thanks for your kind wishes everyone!!!!!
Hula - what does the temp dip mean? that you have OVed? Is it supposed to stay high or low if you have conceived?!?
Beckif -at least going away for two weeks will give you loads of time for relaxed BDing!!
Tania- good luck for you this months - what with the herbs and your lipstick thing you cant go wrong How long is it you have been ttc?

Hulababy · 01/10/2004 09:39

Look's like mine and DH's friend may have just gone into labour this morning. Really happy for them, but makes me more broody!

muddaofsuburbia · 01/10/2004 09:37

But I have no cramps yet and AF is meant to arrive tomorrow, so I'm still hopeful

muddaofsuburbia · 01/10/2004 09:36

krocket - I know what you mean. All the "batch" of babies we know born within a few months of ds, now all have brothers or sisters on the way or born already I'm surrounded by bumps and funky maternity wear - I dying to shop til I drop in the new Topshop maternity stuff!

Morning Ladies - CD9 today (I love saying that!!) ... been having period type pains in the 'middle' rather than to a side and today I have that niggle on the left hand side and the pains down my leg that I get. Confused is I ! I just hope I don't come on again for my engagement party (tomorrow) or our long awaited fortnight away (starting NEXT Friday!) ... I just don't know what's going on.

Sorry to hear of all the AF

krocket · 01/10/2004 08:39

I swear that everyone I am surrounded by is getting pregnant except me hard to be pleased and envious at the same time.

Hulababy · 01/10/2004 08:18

Good look with it Tania.

Happy Birthday Tessiebear Hope you have a fab day.

Dip in temp again today???

MrsWednesday · 01/10/2004 08:06

Happy birthday Tessiebear!

Hope you have a lovely day.

And good luck with your herbs and lipstick thing Tania2. At least you know you are doing everything you possibly can to make it happen.

Tessiebear · 01/10/2004 07:31

Morning All - really sorry about all the AF's

Happy Birthday to me today!!

Tania2 · 01/10/2004 04:49

sorry girls that af arrived its so hard every month when pg & af signs are the same nature is so cruel i have been there for the last 10 months and i now how it can really get you down.
Went a bought the maybe baby ov test today. not as much as i thought it was only $66 aus very interesting how it works with siliva and its the size of your lipstick. you spit on the glass end then look through it like a hologram thingy and when it looks like ferns then you are oving. iam really excited this month as i am trying something different x 2 the chinese herbs and the lipstick thingy!! Fingers crossed. gee i hope it happens this month i am soooo over this as i am sure all of you are too. good luck to everyone and baby dust to all ++++++++++

ebbie22 · 30/09/2004 22:55

Am getting some sleep now so take care girls and see you in the morning xxx

MINNIE1 · 30/09/2004 21:55

I'll told DP he has to do it aswell !!! lol.... (not really) I want to see if i can make a pattern each month of what my body does.. (wait ans you see it will last 2 weeks) and with the FF it a handy way of doing that..
hope it works and get's me PG!!!!

Hulababy · 30/09/2004 21:43

Good luck with FF; I have been using for first time this month. At the very least I do find it useful knowing more about my own body.

Miaou · 30/09/2004 21:28

Let me know how you get on, Minnie. I for one can't see me remembering to temp every morning, not without dh wondering what the hell I'm up to (he would take the piss something chronic, I'm sure!!!)

MINNIE1 · 30/09/2004 21:14

So sorry to hear about the AF Miaou & ,Wilbur

Going to start temp next month with FF, all excited about my new venture...

MrsWednesday · 30/09/2004 21:02

So sorry AF arrived wilbur and miaou .

It seems that a lot of people (me included) have sneaky pre-AF symptoms that are exactly like early pregnancy symptoms. I had the same thing last month, felt sick and tired the week before but knew I couldn't be pregnant as we hadn't timed bd right. It's sooooooo annoying.

So, I keep telling myself to ignore every strange feeling I have and just wait until after AF is due, then test. I'm really struggling though!

Good luck to you both (and everyone else!) for the next cycle.

How are you doing ebbie22?

Miaou · 30/09/2004 20:59

Wilbur,mine was a Mirena too. I will keep a check on what's going on this month!

Have just registered with Fertility Friend, just to see if that's of any use. I'm slightly more uptight about getting pg this time than I was before (a sign of getting older, methinks!)

wilbur · 30/09/2004 20:42

Thanks folks. Sorry to hear about your af, miaou - your feeling may well be just the body settling down after the coil - I was all over the place for a month or so after I had my mirena removed. Good luck for this month.

Hulababy · 30/09/2004 20:36

Miaou

Miaou · 30/09/2004 20:34

AF arrived today . Wilbur, just like you, I was convinced I was pg, but I think the "feeling" I had was maybe me ovulating. Having just had my coil removed after 3 years (and no monthly cycle to follow) I am really out of touch with listening to my body. Ah well, if that's what it was then I know what "feeling" to look out for next month! Not too sad, it's only our first month of trying.
