libra - again congratulations

DG commiserations

I'm really fed up tonight

I WANT TO BE PREGNANT AGAIN

Ahhh Libralady thats fab news, congratulations

Bucky and DG am sorry about the arrival of af - evil evil evil witch that she is. Know how you feel DG when you have a long cycle you end up wishing af would just turn up so you know where you stand in the whole ttc game and then when she does you wish she hadn't. Its all pants.

I'm in such a boring place in the ttc cycle - only cd6 and know that by the time the bd'ing can start in ernest I'll be embroiled in the family life of the in-laws. Will have to employ some of the stealth shagging as you suggested DG

libralady Congratulations. It's fantastic that you've fallen PG so quickly this time compard to last.

Sorry TEW got you bucky & DG I've got a feeling she'll get me at the weekend.

Congrats Libralady lovely news, big hugs!

So sorry about TEW Bucky and DG join me in lurking in the 2ww thread while not actually in the 2ww

Gryffin I do hope it is your month!

hooray for Thursday afternoon off bucky! I think AF is slowly starting to make an appearance (tmi - gross brown CM). i've already quaffed two glasses of wine tonight, so she better be (or I'm a bad mother). so lets go somewhere fun!

well, if AF is properly here tomorrow that could mean an 11 or 12 day luteal phase (if I ov'ed). I will know when to go for my blood test and I am going to book some acupuncture.

still. I know I said I wanted AF, but i don't care whether it's convenient or not I just want a BFP.

Well I did another test today and got a most definite BFP
Only symptoms, are slightly tender (.)(.)s - worse in the evenings, some pre-af cramp feelings since day 21 and a bit of a metallic taste in the mouth when eating first thing in the morning.
Tested on CD 25 and got the faintest of lines, but today's was a real stonker. AF wasn't due until Wednesday. Am in total shock as it took me 3 years + to fall with DS and this time around has taken 4 months. I really wish I knew about Mumsnet when ttc with DS as I'm sure I would have understood my body a lot better.

Chin up Bucky, I feel really fed up today and I don't know why..
Look forward to the weekend when you get your puppy.

DH came home from work and had to go back out, half term so just me and DD

excitable - buy a 25p plastic jug from Asda/Woolies/Tesco and pee into it then dip the test in it, must easier than trying to hit the stick IME, I have a pee jug just for the purpose!

07MTW - I'm the same as you just haven't a good feeling about this month, I have ebay cheapies as well and DP is away Sunday to Tuesday next week (running a marathon in Dublin) so I can indulge myself too although last time I had 3 negatives on ebay cheapies (AF day AF day+1 AF day+3) and thought sod that went and got a CBD and you guessed it a BFP.

Better be off can smell dinner burning ...............

GG No symptoms - none. Can't even make any up. Just checked (.)(.) again (check every few minutes) and absolutely no change, CM seems "normal" but not sure what I should be looking out for at this time of the month. I just seem to have a feeling this will not be my month. Perhaps I'm trying reverse physcology.

SK My cycles can be anything between 27 & 32 days. I was going to use an early response on Sunday but not sure. I have to go to hospital on Tuesday for something totally unrelated so thought maybe I should wait til Tuesday morning. I might use a cheapy Ebay test on Sunday to curb my craving and save my best for Tues

The wait is like when I was a child at Christmas it takes ages to get here and then you might not get the present you most wanted. Lets hope Santa comes early this year.

That's why I don't want to by an OPK, SK - I think it's just stabbing in the dark. And I don't like weeing on sticks at all. Thought it might be quite exciting, but turns out it's just a bit ikky. Oh dear, must find a way to get used to ik...

Feel so much more relaxed about ttc this month, to the point where I haven't even bought a HPT this month, I'm just going to wait for AF.

GG - fingers crossed it will be your month, congrats on the EWCM, you remind me of me ttc#1, took us 9 months and one chemical pregnancy. I used opks, got EWCM BDed at the right times and nothing, I as much as told DP it was all his fault and then lo and behold a BFP, hope it works for you too

excitable - do you remember Har on the Oct ttc thread she was my cycle buddy and we were both using CBD opks, she didn't get a I did, she didn't get EWCM, I did she got a BFP I didn't, this ttc business is like that sometimes bloody infuriating.

07MTW - whens your AF due? When you testing? Mine is due Halloween am trying to hold out testing until then.

Bucky - your new dog looks very scary bet he's lovely and soft though. Sorry about AF getting you too

excitable - you can be of my EWCM if you like . I know I am lucky in a lot of ways that I have a regular cycle, no PCOS and AF turns up roughly on time every month, but it does make the lack of anything happening for 10 months all the more baffling. I can see how frustrating it is for DG and Picknmix with their irregular cycles so I know it should be ok and I am feeling curiously upbeat this month, like it is my turn or something. Unfortunately, the lack of anything happening also makes me suspect DH's swimmers which I am not proud of.

07MTW - any symptoms to report yet is you are on the 2WW? This is the thread for it

I'm repeating pixie's mantra in the hope that my eggs are a'hatchin' and that DH is home on time , although I am not sure if I should be dancing round a toadstool in shoes with bells on them for the maximum effect

bucky - meant to ask you before do you have any good tips for doing the road trip through Monument Valley etc? Only 4 more days in the office!

gg looks like pixie's mantra worked on you!

just had a conversation with a non-ttc/no kids mate who reminded me that a lot of the medical 'information' on the internet was aimed at americans where non-emergency medical treatment is private. so it's in their interests to create a feeling of insecurity around health.

it was her way of saying 'you're fine dg, stop worrying about your cycles'.

i still don't think anyone can understand how you feel about ttc until you actually start ttc.

GG Hope it is your month.

I've done my ovulating this month and one wk into the dreded two wk wait so if I don't get BFP I will try mantra next month.

GG is it wrong to be of your EWCM. I'm day 12, and nothing yet - I'm just hoping that it's hiding up there with my cervix...

Maybe it knows how excited I got last time and thinks it isn't good for me!

Cluck Cluck Cluck ("Good morning all" - turned into that Chicken!!!)

Well school holiday's day 1 , done games, made flapjack - eaten flapjack, bored. Ironing lost any appeal!

Bucky have you put up 'Beware of the dog signs yet'?
Anyway less rambling hope your all having a nice day.

that should obviously be "live" in a small flat

morning everyone! I sayed away from MN at the weekend, but now I am back at my desk in the office trying to get on with some work, but I keep being disctracted!

Bucky - I absolutely love your dog! He is gorgeous and I am very of you having a dog and a garden. I love in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny London flat, so no chance of canine company for me . Will email you and DG about the meet up.

DG and Picknmix - so at your GP. I said before that my sister is a GP and I have been telling her about all the insensitive things you guys have had to go through.

Welcome coolcat - it's more the merrier round here and thanks for the apple crumble. Let us know how you go this month and if you get any interesting symptoms!

hello to pixie, excitable, spooky, 07MTW and everyone else. Sorry to anyone missed

I have EWCM today and it's CD13! Hurrah! DH has been ordered home from work at a good time tonight and has a grin on his face already. I am really giving it my very best shot this month and we will be on holiday during my 2WW, so that should keep my mind off symptom spotting and driving myself mad with wondering if I am/am not PG. I don't know why, but I really think that this could be my month [very hopeful emoticon]

"I will hatch eggs, I will hatch eggs, I am a calm and fertile woman, I will hatch eggs I will hatch eggs"

That okay or do you think it will turn us into chickens?....

hi pixie [dg waves back] we need a new mantra to bring on early ov'ing...

Good Morning Ladies!

Have had a quick skim through the posts but haven't read properly yet sorry.

How is everyone? I've stayed off MN this weekend doing my best to relax.

Not much to tell from me am on the look out for OV sugns. Nothing as yet.... last cycle I didn't OV till CD21 so I could have another week to go yet..... am hoping its sooner this month

bucky you sure it's TEW? if it is.
11 day luteal phase is fine, i think it's only a problem if it's less than 10 i.e. 8 or 9, as sometimes it can take the fertilised egg up to 10 days to implant (which isn't good if you've already started 'shedding').

well, I woke up with cramps, back ache and sore boobs. have stashed tampons etc in handbag today. looking forward to a glass of wine in the next few days
