Nikkichik,
the waiting is a pain, but fingers crossed for you.. Is this going to be your 6th child or 6th month of trying??

MommyD · 03/11/2004 12:12

Nikkichik - is that 6th cycle or 6th child?!? Sounds promising although I have REALLY REALLY REALLY tried to stop paying attention to what goes on the in 2ww.... I got loads of symptoms last cycle and was not pg. I am on 3dpo and feel NOTHING.

Nikkichik · 03/11/2004 12:04

Getting confused with threads but will add to this one now.
TTC 6, Cd 22, dpo 9 ( I think). Feel very wierd - queasy, boobs feel enormous/sensitive, keep needing to wee, knackered all the time - wonder if it's the real thing or just early PMT or just feeling crap!. af not due for 6 days so the waiting is killing me !!!!
Good luck to all!

Bonkerz do you know the date of the first day of you af previous to the last and then the date of the first day of the last af. if so count first day as day 1 to the day of the next af then you know how long your cycle is. other wise i will be hard to tell if your late or not. IYKWIM

Minnie my ov test is called maybe baby so not sure how similar they are but this is how mine works.
when you have wiped a layer of saliva over the veiwfinder and it has dried after 15 min you look through it your infertile period should look like pebbles leading up to your fertile period (the transitional phase) you start to get a mixture of pebbles and small ferns and when you are oving it shows large ferns. when you see slight ferns bd like mad until you get the pebbles again.
To tell you the truth though i dont really know how good this method is i have had slight ferns last month on cd 9 and cd 18 it is poss to ov twice. mine has to be first thing in the morning from a clean mouth (no food, drink, toothpast etc)Basicaly it measures your levels of estrogen so if you have low estrogen it might not be as accurate? Good luck hope it works for you and me for that matter. HTH
Geordie & bonkers what cd are you how many DPO and how long is your cycle???

MINNIE1 · 03/11/2004 09:55

ebbie22, re: mouse, No not at all.. I have it for over 5 years now just forgotten about it now...

Geordie,
Hang in there girl, You could have a sly test!!!!

pamina3,
Try not to worrie, do another test from boots and then book your doctors app.. a +ive is a +ive

I had my lady q delivered in the post yesterday, and i think i'm not ov yet!!! a bit hard to understand
tania, you have one of these, how do you know when you ov?? I know i would'nt be ov now but what does your look like when you are ov'ing..

RudyDudy,
When is your AF due on, (hoping she does'nt apear)

Bibi20 · 03/11/2004 09:54

Yay Pamina!

Geordie · 03/11/2004 09:53

hi bonkerz!!

you count cycle day one- the first full day of bleeding (af). The keep counting up until the next full day of bleeding which is then cd 1 of the next cycle.

hth

Bibi20 · 03/11/2004 09:52

Keeping fingers crossed Pamina!

Jeddah - interesting about your luteal phase varying each month. Have a look at this link to FF here , even FF says the charts can be wrong!

Your LP is supposed to be the same length each month, so if it varies by more than a day or two it might be worth investigating...

velcrobott · 03/11/2004 09:52

Pamina - congrats....
How much has this testing costed you are you taking that money off this new baby's child benefit

bonkerz · 03/11/2004 09:51

ok can i join again! (old name childmindersam)

My dh has decided we should only BD when im ovulating!!!! I dont agree and would like to just do it for fun! anyone else have this? My dh is convinced im preganat as well just because im up in the night 4 or 5 times using toilet! im not sure! Not due on till friday. will wait and see!!!!!

without meaning to sound dumb, how do you work out your cycle days etc cos i dont understand. My period always arrives between 6th and 9th of each month and lasts 4 days.

Geordie · 03/11/2004 09:50

phew pamina

try to leave it a few days then test!!!! then you'll see if there is a stonger line!

really hoping that i can join you at the w/e!!

no just af like stuff- but then i had no symptoms last time...just bad cramps after af was late!

feeling dippy- and cervix is tightly close (sorry TMI) and normally by now it is softenning ready for af..
