Temping Buds 8 'We will make it off this thread Eventually!!'

It seems I might know more than I thought about my body. I got a BFP this morning

So it looks like I'm leaving. Wanted to explain myself and not just disappear, but if it doesn't stick, I know where to come - thank you all for your support on this thread.

Hi girls - hope you had a lovely christmas... mine was quite tiring but enjoyable. af started this morning boxing day which was bang on 28 days and I think I ovulated mid month due to ew.... but having only bd once - yes once this month and after ov I didn't expect anything apart from a miracle.. so not unhappy - but as I was downloading some pics today of ds's yesterday I saw some old baby ones of ds2 and thought I definitely want another one!! so 2008 will be my year - I am getting healthy, fit and relaxed - so is dh!! Roll on next week!

Hope everyone had a happy christmas...

Perhaps we need to start a new thread for 2008 - temp buds 2008 maybe.... as this one is getting on and Ready, Rah and myself need a fresh start to the year I think!! will start a new one next week unless someone starts it before...happy boxing day xxx

Cycles are all over the place - had a 28 day cycle and a 43 day cycle, so really don't know what to expect this month, which is why I'm waiting until day 38 to test - I'd rather be disappointed by AF than an HPT, iyswim.

Fingers crossed for your Christmas BFP, Gracie

Happy Christmas everyone, this might be the last time I get to post before I spend 5 days with assorted relatives... yawn... Not enough kids in our family to make Christmas any fun - I'm trying my best to change that

Hi all,

Excitable - Glad you have decided to stay everyone is so supportive on here. I know what you mean about convincing yourself about pregnancy, how we don't all go round the twist I don't know! How long are your cycles normally?

Thinking - So glad to hear your doing well (and about the sickness IFSWIM) we would love to hear your updates on here please come back and let us know. Have a great christmas

Well CD27 and think I'm 13dpo (but could also be 11dpo) either way AF could be visiting from today or tomorrow, or I could get a Christmas BFP that would be fab! (Would also be a shock due to erractic bding and illness this month but I can always hope )

Hope everybody else is well 2 days and its Christmas, yipee!! Have a good one

I'm so sorry to hear about your lost egg, Rah. Fingers crossed that the daily scans will help.

We are doing fine, I am feeling pukey all day, every day. Which reassures me that little bump is doing alright. I have a scan date in Jan and if you ladies don't mind I hope to post an update then. Once I see the baby's heartbeat, I can relax and tell everyone I meet on the street that I'm expecting.

Sprinkling Christmas pregnancy dust all over the Temp ladies, may you all get BFP in your stockings this year

Oh, okay, I admit it, I came back for a sneaky peek and you talked me into it! You all seem really friendly and (more importantly to me, FUNNY - we all need our sense of humour in this)

Today I am dealing with the stress of ttc by just giving in and being convinced I'm pregnant in the face of NO evidence at all. I am ignoring this and having a lovely time thank you very much! How nice! I know that this is make believe, but what's wrong with a little make believe now and then?

Fertility Friend is telling me that my temperature seems to fluctuating wildly, but I think this is more to do with just making up what I thought was the right way to use my thermometer for most of the month, so I am ignoring it.

Rah my fingers are crossed for you too and please rest assured that I am not so much of an upstart that I want to take your ranting crown from you.

NappyValley loving your analogy. Surely they wouldn't get lost in Paris, and even if they did, there would be foreign lovelies each way they turned. Even the shiest of boys couldn't fail to score there, the atmosphere, the music, the food, it's all in the language of luurve, right?

OK I have no idea where we are but have decided we should get our list back up and running. I have no idea where we got to really.

Welcome Excitable. I think most of use would agree and remember how stressful it starts to feel at 4 months. Get temping, at least you start to feel more in control (well that's my theory). Rant away, you may take Rah's Ranting Tiara off her, and then where would we be!!!

As for me yes the decorators came with vengeance just before bed on Tues which was most annoying as I happened to have white undies on!! (I know TMI).

So LP still rubbish. Blood test on monday will be even worse. However the good news is I am definitely ovulating so they might just send us straight for IUI and cut out the Clomid. Need some more monitoring in the new year apparently.

Finally we had a fantstic 4 days in bath. If anyone fanices it I found a lovely little hotel and some great places to eat. We went to the new Spa which was gorgeous, although now we hae killed off all the troops, still they did not know where they were going anyway. It can take 11 weeks for more men to complete basic training and be ready for the battlefield (still with me??). We now have a new analogy for IUI - instead of taking the Normandy Beaches (lots of troops, many lives lost etc etc ) we are going to parachute the paras into Paris - hopefully even they can't get lost from there!!!!

Got to go am meant to be working.

rah fingers crossed for you.

Excitable - You have made me laugh with your comment . You can whine all you like, it doesn't matter how long you have been trying we all going through the same stress its just taking a few of us a little longer than others. I hope we will meet again on the antenatal threads - good luck to you and happy christmas

Gracie - to be honest, I've only been trying for four months and I'd be embarrassed to be doing any whining on this thread - it would be just like telling Kate Aidie that I feel a vit vulnerable when I'm alone in my village, I'm just not in the same league!!

But thank you very much for the information and I hope very much that we'll meet again in the ante-natal threads...

Happy Christmas everyone!

Rah - So sorry to hear about the egg not being there - I wish I could come and give you a real life hug instead of this virtual one (((HUG))) but I'm thinking of you hun - it is so bloody crap isn't it and so so hard. Take care of yourself.

Excitable - Your so right about ttc being so hard, it would be lovely for you to fall the same time as your friends wouldn't it, how long have you been trying for? You can try plotting your chart on fertlityfriend.com if you haven't already it gives loads of info as well. We normally post our temperatures on this thread every day (if we remember ) so if you fancy joining us feel free. I think we will start doing it again once christmas is over as everyone has been really busy but would be lovely if you would like to join us.

minxi - I am expecting AF around Christmas Day as well - not a great time for a visit (but I suppose there isn't ever a great time is there!)

Ready - Hope move is going well

Nappy - Hope your okay hun

Thinking - Happy Christmas hope you and bubba are taking it easy

Oh Rah soo annoying - hope you don't have to go the clomid route (but then again it might work for you) but it is bl*&%dy not nice...hope you are alright big hugs to you {{{}}}}} We managed once this month ?! But I feel a bit liberated that I haven't been temping or monitoring - apart from spending £60 on a monitor or there abouts (maybe waste of money) will perhaps go back to the monitor when my af arrives christmas or boxing day!! but as from 2nd January 2008 - health drive kicks in seriously - and just going to focus on getting fit and healthy without all the other stuff that goes on - will also definitely try some reflexology once a month or something (can't afford everyweek!!)

Gracie I'm with you it is frustrating and so unfair that someone can just fall pg when they take there knickers off once ...hugs to you...

Everyone else hi - my ds1 who is 6 is trying to read this post and luckily doesn't understand a word I am talking about otherwise I will be the talk of the playground next month

Happy christmas to all who can't get back on here - I shall pop on every day as I can!! chin up 2008 is OUR YEAR

Gracie - thanks very much for the advice. Will have to make a mark on my chart to show where I started to do this right.

Sorry you've been feeling so down. It really isn't easy when it goes on for such a long time. Several of my friends have been trying for much longer than me and I really hope they fall before I do. None of this is fair really, is it?

Hi all,

Hope you are all doing okay, have been so busy this last couple of weeks haven't managed to get on much. I've done what I can this month which wasn't much due to illness from both sides, so looks like I'm with you minxi.

One of my close friends has just told me she is pregnant (this is one friend I wasn't expecting to hear this news from) had sex once last month and now pregnant . So to be honest I'm so sick of being angry, envious, sad, and everything else that comes with ttc thats the 3rd friend this year and I started ttc before all of them. I so hope 2008 is our time. Sorry to put a downer on the christmas celebrations (and I was doing so well).

Excitable - Once it says LO put the thermometer in your mouth and wait for it to beep again and then take it out and read the display. Hope that helps

If I don't get on again, hope you all have a lovely christmas

Ready Good luck with the move... and happy christmas and merry 2008 to you xxx

Rah hope that egg is doing its work now - good luck for tomorrow.... broadband is bt - do have sky + too.

Doubt my chance has hapened this month - had loads of ew last week which was cd13-16 with no bd!! and now so must have ov'd bang in the middle this month (last month was later) typical!

Gracie hope all is well with you....

Nappy how are you?

Excitable welcome - somnebody will be along to give you some advice

Hello, Sorry to interupt, but would you mind awfully if I just popped in to ask you a question?

I'm not very good with "science bits" and I've just bought a thermometer from ebay. Most of the instructions for charting were in the book, but the instructions for using the thermometer were torn out with someone else's charts!

It's a Boots BBT thermometer, so I figured somebody must have one like mine and be able to explain it to me. When I press the button to turn it on, it says Lo and then it beeps three times. What I want to know is, how long am I supposed to put it in my mouth for?

Before, I was putting the thermometer straight in my mouth and waiting for it to beep three times - was this wrong? Can't ask anyone in RL - can you help me please?

One last post before the big move... not sure how long it is going to take to get broadband sorted, dh still not decided who he wants to be our provider. And with christmas it will probably take forever.

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!! And here's to a fantastic 2008 for all of us!!!
