Sounds like you've got a busy weekend ahead of you Minnie1 .

Any news Ebbie22?

Will keep my fingers crossed for you muddaofsuburbia - I can't tell from your message whether you think you're in with a chance this month? I'm due Monday and have absolutely no idea whether we've been successful or not!

Not sure I'll be able to do the antibiotics story as I work with one of the girls who'll be there - she knows I'm TTC and she also knows I'm not poorly as she's seen me this week, illness free! Arrgggggggh.

BeckiF - the only thing I could think of is that you are building up to ovulate again. Sorry, not much help, I know.

Hope everyone else is ok on this gloomy, rainy day (bet it's not like that where you are Tania2).

Tessiebear · 30/09/2004 09:43

Morning all!
Ebbie - sounds really promising - when are you going to test?

Hula - sounds like you did everything you possibly could this month - and at the right time - loads of baby dust for you --- ... like me , all you can do is sit and wait. I have realized that whether i am on CD20 today or CD 15 I still BD'd at the right time for both OV dates (i think i am more than likely on CD20 tbh) so its a waiting game, - I have decided to test next saturday morning (CD28) as we have a big night out planned on Sat! - Antibiotics excuse at the ready! Really dont think i am this month though

Minnie - good luck with your BD'ing - i am still getting the achey pains today, i suppose it could be down to the physical exertion of BDing that is causing it !!!

muddaofsuburbia · 30/09/2004 08:42

Really rubbish at keeping up with this thread - sorry ladies!

AF due on Saturday. Have no symptoms for AF or pg for that matter (usually doubles up in pain from now until the end of AF), so I guess I could just be going to be late.

Don't want to test yet, cos if I am pg and then it goes wrong at the weekend I would rather think of it as AF coming a couple of days' late than a m/c. Really couldn't cope with another m/c.

MINNIE1 · 30/09/2004 08:42

Tessiebear, Its strange that AF thing, had lower back pain with it..
This wkend i have to do loads of bding and hope for the best!!!

ebbie22, How are you this morning ??

MrsWednesday, I would go with antibiotics,

Hope all is well today...

Hulababy · 30/09/2004 08:16

My temp chart on FF has now detected OV on CD18. Now 5 days past OV. Apparantly our BD timing was clased as "Good". So the waiting game....

Tessiebear - if you look at my chart now, it has the cross lines on showing OV, and the data below now refers to OV and other signs to look out for afterwards, etc.

So how is everyone today?

Tania2 · 30/09/2004 05:55

G'day girls. BeckiF my natrapath called me the other night to see if my af arrived and i asked her some questions about heavy periods, cramping and clots. She explained it really well, its great to have heavy bleeding as release more eggs if you have clots that is because you have a lot of build up in there and its breaking away from the lining and thats what causes the cramps so all is good if you dont get pg this month you will be happy if next month is the same as its a great clean out for you (IYKWIM).
Iam currently on CD4 and af is nearly finished so working our way up to bding again for another month.
Good luck to those who are waiting to test hopefully we could have some more graduates

ebbie22 · 29/09/2004 22:14

Evening ladies,well pain from right side has completly gone and was spotting[if i can even call it that]just gota see how i am tomorra....
My periods are usually all at once..IUKWIM

Miaou · 29/09/2004 18:00

ANTIBIOTICS!!!!

Doh....

Miaou · 29/09/2004 17:57

To those with the drink dilemma - are you good enough fibbers to say you are on tablets (mind's gone blank - what can't you mix with alcohol?) - and therefore have to lay off the drink?

Hulababy · 29/09/2004 17:49

I did; infact I have just been replying!

MrsWednesday · 29/09/2004 17:30

I think you're both right, I'll just be sensible. Shouldn't be too hard - everyone else will be so drunk they won't notice!

Tessiebear · 29/09/2004 17:23

Did you get my E-mail in the end Hula?

Hulababy · 29/09/2004 17:21

Can you just drink a bit, and alternate with soft drinks?

Testing too early may well bring up a false negative anyway.

I had a big night out last time, only to find out I was pg with DD a week or so later. Would have been almost 4 weeks at the time. But, just wasn't expecting to be pg - after all that time I had kind of come to expect nothing.

Tessiebear · 29/09/2004 17:20

Minnie - I am also on about the same CD as you and ALSO felt as if AF was coming this morning!!!

Mrs Wednesday - i have the same dillema as you - tonight, Friday and next Saturday (I plan to do an early test before next Saturday) I KNOW questions will be asked tonight as the other couple are driving so that we (me and DH) can drink as it is both our birthdays in the next few days!!! I will definately have one drink but i dont want to have any more than that - they are good friends but i really dont want to tell anyone anything IYKWIM

MrsWednesday · 29/09/2004 17:13

Can I ask your advice ladies?

I've got a birthday party to go to on Saturday night - it will involve lots of drinking (it's a grown-up party, not a kids one!). AF is due on Monday, so I'm not sure what to do. Is there any point testing on Saturday morning? Or shall I just take it easy on Saturday night? Questions will be asked if I'm not drinking...

cp3 · 29/09/2004 17:09

I know what you mean Ebbie about feeling different, thats what happened to me this month but i knew af was coming as i was eating everything in sight and was in a bad mood for about 3 days before. Mine also comes on an evening so i went to the gym to help it along.

Me and you then on the ttc 11, but ill still keep fingers crossed for you. Luckily i was only a day late so i didnt get too excited

MrsWednesday · 29/09/2004 16:55

Will keep my fingers crossed for you Ebbie22 that AF isn't arriving.

Have a lovely holiday bluestar. And a great few days off sweetheart.

ebbie22 · 29/09/2004 16:52

ebbie22 · 29/09/2004 16:50

sweetheart · 29/09/2004 16:47

Have a great weekend everyone.

cp3 · 29/09/2004 16:44

Is that normal for you then, and are you due?

ebbie22 · 29/09/2004 16:43

cp3 · 29/09/2004 16:41

ebbie22 · 29/09/2004 16:39

A.f is planning a visit...and

Bibi20 · 29/09/2004 16:25

The Saliva microscope does work for me in that it's just as good as the peeing on a stick type, and easier to use.

Whether opks are the best thing for me generally I don't know as I'm not pg yet!
