(Can anyone tell I'm struggling to keep up with this thread, it moves so quickly?)

alterego · 12/10/2004 11:44

cobweb - thinking of you and praying that you and baby will be OK. xxxxxxxxx

hester · 12/10/2004 11:32

Consider it done, Minnie

MINNIE1 · 12/10/2004 11:30

hester, Mines a double gin!!!!

hester · 12/10/2004 11:26

Of course I'll have your share, Bagpuss, just as a favour to you, you understand. In fact I'm willing to have gin and chocolate on behalf of everybody on this thread who is currently in the last half of their cycle

MINNIE1 · 12/10/2004 11:18

i wish i had a regular cycle...

Tessiebear ,
Will you test tommor??

Tessiebear · 12/10/2004 11:13

Morning all! CD27. Should be excited and ready to test but think i oved really late so i am on the 2 week wait as well. Trying not to think about it and not imagine symptoms!

Bagpuss30 · 12/10/2004 11:08

Morning all, just thought I'd pop in to see how you are all doing today. No news here as I am on my 2 week wait now and trying not to symptom spot which is difficult. Cobweb, I'm glad things are settling down for you and I still have my fingers crossed . Hello and welcome to any newbies I have missed, this is a really busy thread all of a sudden, what is it about October I wonder? Hester I am very jealous about the gin and chocolate. I am allowing myself the latter but not the former whilst we are TTC (and when hopefully pg of course!) so you can have my share too.

runtus · 12/10/2004 10:51

Hooray for gin and chocolate Hester, Sweetheart would be so proud!

hester · 12/10/2004 10:45

Glad you're feeling a bit better, Cobweb. All fingers STILL tightly crossed for you.

Hi Cosybear, yes I'm a first-timer too. And 40! First started trying to get pregnant five years ago, but lots of life stuff has happened (if ever this thread goes quiet, I'll bore you with it - but no danger of that yet ). I never thought I'd still be ttc at the age of 40. This time round I've been ttc for eight months. It's very hard to cope with the continued failure at my age, and with the fear that it will never happen. AF came last night, so I'm feeling a bit at the moment, but have promised myself gin AND chocolate later, so not all is doom and gloom!

MINNIE1 · 12/10/2004 10:44

Morning all,
CD26 no sign of any symtoms or AF so it looks like i'll be hear for a while !!!

spykid,
How are you? did you look in the drewer??

Cobweb, Hope the days fly for you..

runtus,
Don't know much about the temping, but i would temp every morning,

runtus · 12/10/2004 10:02

Glad you are feeling a bit better Cobweb, keep downing that chocolate!

Started temping yesterday (dh against it initially) so I've only got two readings to go by but wanted to check, should I be temping while af is around - or does that knock it off an even scale? Going to get some ov kits in a week or so as well to try and pin down ov properly this month.....

Twiga · 12/10/2004 10:01

Quick tip in terms of keeping up with the thread for newbies - if there is a lot of posts when I check in I sit with a bit of paper and scribble down any messages/comments for people so I can keep track in my reply, cross bits off if already answered etc - HTH!

Twiga · 12/10/2004 09:43

Hi Cobweb, glad things have settled down a bit this morning and that you're not in pain anymore. One day closer now, keep getting plenty of rest, thinking of you all x

Cosybear, from what I remember other first timers are; Pier, Hester, Minnie1 and me. I guess in the scheme of things I've not been trying that long - 5 cycles - intially fell pg at second cycle but mc in July, now on third cycle since then and hoping hard for this month.

CD22 here, no symptoms either way - trying not to think about it.

Cobweb · 12/10/2004 09:26

Monring girls, I feel okish this morning.

No more bleeding and the pains on my side which were like a stitch pain have now gone.

It is horrible waiting 10 days but I feel a bit more positive today.

Thank you for thinking of me xxx

How is everyone today (((hugs)))

p.s. Chocolate was good last night !

MINNIE1 · 12/10/2004 09:05

Cosybear, i am also a first timer, m/c in June and we are over a year trying.. But since my m/c we have been really trying b4 that it was a case of if it happens it happenes..

Cobweb, How are you feeling today??

runtus · 12/10/2004 08:57

I'm a first timer too Cosybear and I have to admit to being a bit nervous at the prospect of all this ttc actually working! It is getting easier to see being real though as the months go on, not that I wouldn't prefer to fall pg now....I just get the feeling that if I had fallen right away, it would all feel too easy (if that makes any sense?!). That said, next time I get a bfn I won;t feel like that!

How are you feeling today Cobweb?

Pier · 12/10/2004 08:50

Hi Cosybear, I'm also a first timer. Been ttc for 10 months, age 30 and hoping this is the month.
Good luck to all, I'm sure we can make the target of six grads this month.

LipstickMum · 12/10/2004 07:57

Hehe I remember Aunt Flo from Bod, I used to really love that programme Cosybear.

How is everyone this morning? I had a dream that dp and I were bd'ing and then when we finished... ooh it's too horrid to post here, but I got AF. Now am having conception anxiety dreams!

Welcome to all the newcomers Made4it, Jeddah, Cosybear and others I have missed.

Cobweb, how are things this morning?

Cosybear · 12/10/2004 00:45

Hello all,
Thanks for all the welcome messages and advice!
Is anyone else on their first baby making ?!! Does anyone else feel nervous at the thought of it all sometimes ? And believing that it really might be you that will be a mother ??!!!!!! aaahhhhhhhh!!!
Also i know i can't leave it much longer at 37 !

Is so nice to talk to you all - you are all very kind and what a support to each other.
Thinking of you Cobweb and hope for the best .

What's your new thread Jeddah ?
Ok off to bed up too late !
Was Aunt Flow not on Bod when i was young ??!!!
Bye

Made4it · 11/10/2004 19:28

Hi Jeddah, I too am a new member. I only started posting a few days ago. It moves so fast here, it's manic trying to keep up. I had been lurking for a few weeks before posting, but reading everyones notes I felt I knew them - it is a strange kind of situation ifykwim (if you know what i mean). Just jump right in I say.

I wanted to let you know about the Acroynm list at the top of the page under 'useful stuff'. This helped me out a lot.

Wishing you all the best and oodles & oodles of babydust.

Lol

Jeddah - another abbreviation for you CM = Cervical mucus

LipstickMum · 11/10/2004 18:59

How long is this thread gonna get before we can have a brand new one!!!

Hi there Jeddah, welcome to ttc. It is a bit mad on this thread, as you can see it moves really quickly sometimes and it's the luck of the draw whether you are online at the same time as someone else and have a "conversation". I tend to post and then get distracted, go off to baby group or something and come back 3 hours later. I think we all feel like we're talking to ourselves at some point, I know I do! I'm relatively new to the ttc thread too. I think a lot of us lurk before plucking up courage (or whatever it may be) to speak on this thread

Anyway, have a fab time sharing with all of us, have an even better time BDing and good luck with ttc ~~~~~~~~~

jeddah · 11/10/2004 18:57

To all of you thanks for the chat and explainations!!
