Jeddah - you have been doing a lot of research reading. Thanks for the info.

Good luck to everyone testing - I will try and log on from my hols to post my results.

Go on hols on Friday can't wait - I am knackered (in both senses of the word)

Night Night - had to do a day shift and a back shift today..... falling asleep.

Twiga · 19/10/2004 22:05

Twiga · 19/10/2004 20:57

Welcome to a very long and interesting thread Moschops x

Sallie is it looking like you'll get away soon? Big hug for you.

Sallie · 19/10/2004 20:06

Grrrrr! Still at work and have another call to US clients at 9.30pm. Can't believe how things have been - a fortnight ago I was finger-painting with my two year old and playing with pots and pans with my 8 month old. Now I barely see them and am utterly exhausted and have no real relationship with dh.
Moan, moan. At least I can chat with you guys whilst I am stuck here!!!

MommyD · 19/10/2004 20:03

thanks jeddah..... I told you not to test!!! and you caved in! When are you off to Barcleona?

moschops · 19/10/2004 20:02

hello everyone

i've been following this thread, and finally decided to sign up to the site and start posting.

i stopped taking the pill in march and my cycles have been all over the place since then. i will get the results of blood tests early next week to see what my hormones are doing. doctor told me to relax and keep trying anyway but i have no idea when af is due so i've been reluctant to do any bd'ing because i drive myself mad imagining symptoms.

just wanted to say good luck to everyone on this thread.

jeddah · 19/10/2004 19:45

sexyandhappy
I know what you mean, those of us without kids also get knackered!!! especially at 41yrs!.......but its not forever

jeddah · 19/10/2004 19:39

.....also forgot to mention that is ti better for the sperm to be there already when ov rather than ov then having sperm there...if you know what I mean?????

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 19:37

yeah that's OK if you haven't got kids already.... too knackered to do BD every other night

jeddah · 19/10/2004 19:37

sexyandhappy

bfn= big fat negative
bfp= big fat positive
dpo= days past ovulation

jeddah · 19/10/2004 19:34

bit of advice for everyone!

my dh thinks that trying to predict ov in order to time bd........is the hard way to do it

He says that if we all have bd every 2 days all cycle.......there will be loads of BFP all over the place.

he would say this as he is a man!. However..........girls he has got a point! I have been predicting trying for 10 months and a big fat nothing!.........at work I hear millions of stories,,,,about when couples stop predicting and just go for it and something happens.......so there is proof in the pudding....what does everyone think??????

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 19:34

What's bfp and dpo... I am sure it's obvious but I am lost....

jeddah · 19/10/2004 19:23

wow girls so much happens on this thread whenyou are away....its a real live wire!!!!

Mommyd sorry to hear about af! bitch!!!!

At least you can start all over again!

Hulababy......keep checking for ov !

Shelly no experience of robitussin sorry!

blueteddy, just to let you know that I am on a website that analysers fertility charts and I went and had a look at the gallery, where there are loads of womens charts and loads that did not get a bfp until.......15-18dpo!!!!!!!!!!!!! so there is hope for us yet.... please pass message on to tessiebear! I tested today too Iam 10/11 dpo and got a bfn....so testing at the weekend still holds!

mommyd...........sorry again!

SHELY · 19/10/2004 18:43

mommyd, some wine sounds sooo good right about now!! maybe i'll send the hubby out for some. i'll refrain of course during my fertile time. i could use something to relax, enjoy the wine!

MommyD · 19/10/2004 18:40

Thanks all for you support. Just to let you know that I've now finished all the chocolate and have moved onto a very nice bottle of chilled, crisp, chardonnnay
Kids are asleep and dh due in soon to help me with the wine
Onwards to cycle #2. x x

blueteddy · 19/10/2004 18:34

Thanks Bagpuss, I will pass your message on 2 her.
From what she was describing, the cm sounded similar 2 the fertile mucus (as in it was stretchy etc), but she had her proper egg white stuff on day 22.
She is a bit confused about it & I am no help atall, as both my ds's were little accidents!

SHELY · 19/10/2004 18:33

thanks Bagpuss30, it's worth a try! at our points, what isn't worth a try? i hope for positive tests for everyone this cycle!! hope to see tessiebear back on here soon. she's such a doll!
