I am cd27 today - time seems to be passing by really slowly at the moment. I don't think I am going to allow myself to test until at least Friday (cd30) although as I have said on my other postings, I don't hold out much hope for this month. Last month af arrived on cd29. Bibi - when are you planning to test? Anyone else testing soon?

BeckiF · 09/11/2004 09:36

I'm already thinking of giving up temping! My temperature is all over the place and there is almost a degree drop between yesterdays and todays! A drop of a degree on CD7 when I had a neg opk last night don't make sense to me! Well, I'll probably enter all the data this cycle just to see, but I'm confused!

Twiga · 09/11/2004 08:38

Twiga · 09/11/2004 00:10

Hi Tania, it must be morning with you now, how did last night go? BTW, your thread made the front page of the site - impressive! Hope you're not too tired, just thought I'd check in before I head for my bed - don't worry about ealrier by the way, I did post a reply don't know if you've seen it - no harm done at all x

BTW, anyone on here ever done one of the mumsnet swaps, I just signed up for the Christmas one, bit nervous about it - any experience sharing welcome.

Goodnight and God bless all x x x

MunnzieB · 08/11/2004 21:03

sweetheart- how do u manage it, I bearly have the will power to go without being PG let alone being it, still this week i'm off to water aerobixs with some frined which should be fun as i'm blind as a bat with out my glasses on!

Mommy D - Funny people our DH's arn't they! lol.

Silver lining - Hope DD is feeling better soon, and you get to BD with DH!!

Tania - Those blasted hormones, but sadly, we all need them, and hey at least it's a good excuse to eat a huge bar of dairy milk!, hope you DS starts sleeping thru soon. I like the baby whisperer, have u tried her pu/pd method?

Any ways, thanks for all your help with the prob, bibi - I did have some breckie but only cherios so tomorrow i'll be back to weetabix and toast! and see if that helps, failing that roll on CD 9 when i can start using OV kits again! woooo. (on day 4 now and AF is still here, which is a good sign as on the pill it was 3 days max, off i think it was about 5-7)

MINNIE1 · 08/11/2004 20:57

Hi Girls, i'm back...

think i ov'd at the wkend so i am on the waiting game...

hope you all are well and happy.. DP is gagging to us the PC so im off again

MunnzieB · 08/11/2004 20:53

thanks girls, how is every one today? I need to get my boss to put me on the internet so I can come on and chat without going on someone elses comp..... that looks so obvious! lol

wilbur · 08/11/2004 19:50

You sound like me mommyd - I have no idea about ov this month, despite temperature and careful monitoring, but maybe it was last Weds or Thurs as I did get some ov-type pains. Anyway, today I'm getting a little crampy feeling, like AF, but sadly not like the feelings I got when preg with ds and dd. So I don't think we did the trick this month. AF should be here next week I reckon. We'll see.

MommyD · 08/11/2004 19:19

Hello all
I've not had time to catch up. I hope you are all feeling good. I am pretty sure that this is not the month for me. With both my other pgs I felt hot for the whole of my LP - don't this time.
7dpo today and I had bad AF pains today and lower back pain. I will never understand what goes on in there, really I never will - AF not due for another 7 days.

Good luck Tania, getting your little lad to sleep through by himself
runtus - you seem to be going through similar thought processes as me!!!! I made the ridiculous mistake this cycle of showing dh the peed on OPK with the two lovely dark lines. I was chuffed that they worked for me. And dh? Well, I might as well have been showing him the contents of my littlest lad's nappy for all the interest it provoked. He certainly did not want to bd just because a little wet stick 'told him to'. Ignorance is bliss, I think, in future ROMANCE IS NOT DEAD.....

Tania2 · 08/11/2004 17:31

Jeddah i have posted on my other thread my diary of tonight. thanks for the info i think i did pretty much the same thing as you suggested but i did give in and give him a bottle was too worried about taking too much away from him too soon. IYKWIM.
Good night girls have to go back to bed feel are freazing and i think my electric blanket would have warmed up by now.
Thanks for all your support.

runtus · 08/11/2004 16:59

God, can't belive you still have the willpower to go to ww now you have fallen pg, I would so be in tha "all you can eat buffet" by now!!!! Sorry about the sickness but I guess you knew what was headed your way, having done it before and all....

I think my dp is going to have another go at the 'lets keep it spontaneous' speech but we both know day 14 is going to be the day....I am hoping that by not talking about it too much from now on he will forget which day I am on and then it won't feel to pressurised. Plus I want to be doing it leading up to day 14 don't I, so if he has day 14 in his head, I'll only get the one go!!!

sweetheart · 08/11/2004 16:46

runtus,

Glad to hear you've put your dh in check Tell him you're in charge now!!!!

Had a dr apt last week but he didn't really do anything apart from add it to my notes. I have a midwife apt next week but apart from that not much happening. Starting to feel very sicky unfortunatly!!! I've still got 1 Ib to loose on ww so I'm hoping I'll have lost that tonight so that I can stuff my face!!!!!!

runtus · 08/11/2004 16:41

Hi girls, sorry to hit and ruin like that, got sent off on a million errands today! Thanks for the warm welcome back, feel a bit out of it having been away from the thread for a while, you lot don't half talk!

Can't wait for my af to come now cos I just want to get started on the old pills, patience never was my strong point! How are you feeling S/heart??? Have you had the dr's visit and all that yet?? Thanksa gain so much for the opk's, will really help me focus our'efforts, as the dr put it! I told my dp that we have to centre around day 14 ("cos the Dr doesn't want me to have to have loads of courses of the drug, if it doesn't kick start my system") and obviously I got a pained face at organised bding but to be honest he needs to get over that whole issue....needs must!

I went out and bought him loads of Zinc tabvlets today as well, going to tell him they are a supplement the dr suggested folllwing his really bad food poisoning (do you guys remember how bad that was?!), all a bit sneaky but as I say....needs must!!!

ernest · 08/11/2004 16:35

good luck beckif fingers crossed XXXXXX

jeddah · 08/11/2004 16:12

beckif good luck with the opks!.....oooooh let us know when your line gets dark!!

jeddah · 08/11/2004 16:10

hi silverlinig good to hear from you again

BeckiF · 08/11/2004 16:09

Hi Ladies, I've had such a mad busy weekend out and about all over. Anyway, did my first OPK on Saturday to 'get the feel' of what they look like. Saw the faintest of lines, so I know that they work! I intend to use the whole box up and then get another one if I don't get AF before hand! Not that I'm expecting to as I'm willing my premonition of a September baby to come true! YEAH!! Come on ladies, send me GOOD LUCK AND BABY DUST VIBES PLEASE!

SilverLining · 08/11/2004 15:26

Hi everyone!! Sorry for silence again - DD been really poorly with severe croup! No sleep for 3 days .......arghhhhh!!![tired face] Had a major run with non-existent emergency GP cover - all he said was, and I quote "get her in here in 5 minutes or ring an ambulance"! great service!!! So at the docs this morning but a waste of time - just sent away with antibiotics! So I've pulled strings and made the most of working in a Paediatric dept and have 2 private prescriptions and hopefully will get her on the mend!!!

Anyway, starting using the blinking OPKs and was most distraught as no sign of anything happening down there but last night was the darkest line ever!!! Guess what I had to persuade DH he really really wanted to do???? Feeling lucky as with all our sleep deprivation I feel certain that its going to happen!!!

Anyway - really glad the party went well Jeddah - kept wondering how you were getting on!!! Tania2 - so sorry you sound so blue! If I'd known we could have had a middle of the night chat!!! Runtus - glad things are moving in the right direction for you - fingers crossed!!! Multiple births .... now there is a thought!!! Bibi20 - you still with me on Come Dancing - it was my one shining light over a sh*y weekend!!!

Everyone else - hope you are all OK! Sorry have not made it through every post but hope we are all surviving!!!

xxxx

ernest · 08/11/2004 15:14

sorry bibi, that soounds really tough, did your dh say anything how he felt? I see, thanks to geordie's great list your on cycle 11 - it must happen for you soon...... fingers crossed.

cosybear, no I don't have cats, but mil does. I'm tox. neg so generally avoided cats at all costs much to mil disapproval. Unfortunately I'm one of those people who doesn't really care for cats, but they make a bee line for me, well mil's cats do 7 I spend every visit playing musical chairs trying to get away from them. You can get tested, I was. may be worth it (but if you're pos, then don't let on to dh, so he can still get stuck with the job of cleaning the litter trays)

irishlass have you seen your gynae yet? hope all went well.

Quick q about ewcm - does they mean you def. are o'ing? or may be about to? or can you have ewcm without o? If you have ewcm is it too late to bd, or does it mean you should asap? I know it's a good sign but not really clear what it means?

sweetheart · 08/11/2004 14:31

Rutus,

Welcome back from your trip - did you have a good time????

So glad to hear the doctor has given you a prescription!!! Get taking those drugs girl!! I want some good news from you next month!!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you - and of course all you other ttc'ers!!!

jeddah · 08/11/2004 14:26
