Here we go! Thread 14 for the nicest bunch of women on Mumsnet

Thread 13 was very joyful and very painful for me, but what it has shown me is that even old warhorses like me can get lucky, so there's no excuse for all you nubile young honies not to deliver the goods! Come on now, Mama Hester expects you to do your duty by your fellow ttc-ers

Get ready now, 1 - 2 - 3, GO!!!

...sorry meant sorry about the BFN, morningpaper. Best of luck this month Hula - not long till you test, eh?

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 09:24

Erm, no BFN here?!? Not quite got that far yet. On CD28, but not quite late yet so not tested.

Sallie · 29/11/2004 09:23

Hula - sorry to hear about your BFN - get your feet up and have a glass of your favourite tipple or treat yourself to something nice from the shops.
Miaou - congrats - wonderful news.
Me - cd17 and have an 'o' on my persona monitor for the second day running. As I said in my previous post, am currently having a big crush on the RL character in Bodies which is stoppping me being so obsessive about the ttc business. Roll on Wednesday evening. Have freeview so can watch both episodes back to back - hurrah!!!
Best of luck to all testing this week. When is the new thread going to start as this one is getting pretty long now?

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 09:21

I am still somewhat concerned that my temp doesn't raise very much after or during OV. read that the temp rise is due to some hormone, and that hormone is the same one that help sustain a pregnancy. If so, then surely the more the temp goes up, the more of that hormone there is and the more chance you have of getting and staying pg? So, if my temp is hardly rising, I have less chance? Can't fine much more about it all though but looking on the FF gallery of successful cycles resulting in pg - they all seem to have high temps, gradually rising.

Is there anythign I can do or take to get a high temp (if it is indeed caused by the hormone)?

runtus · 29/11/2004 09:18

Here's hoping, I just want him to give me an injection or something to make me come on and then I can start my clomid.........the wait is killing me!!!!!! If I go to the loo to 'check' once more my work colleagues will think I have some sort of problem!

munnzieb · 29/11/2004 09:07

congrats Miaou thanks for sharing the dust! what a great start to the week!

Jeddah - I've pressed that button hon! lol. lets wait for the O, (not that it make too much diff this month!) lol, will try to work it so DH comes back in time for next months O! - looks like he'lll be back in time fingers crossed.

Hula - Sorry about the BFN, (at least you can drink a shed full over xmas! lol.

Rantus - Don't know if the Dr can do anything or not, When I asked if he could help with the AF symtoms he basically said he could but would hinder my chances of concieving so it was decided all round to 'wait it out' so to speak, (all signs have now gone apart from the AF of course and the weepness!) Fingers crossed he'll be able to do something, you'll have to let us know.

Becki - are you testing this week as well?

runtus · 29/11/2004 08:52

Massive congrats on the BFP - christmas has come early!

I am going mad slowly, your right! Any chance the Dr will be able to give me something to make me come on do you think??

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 08:45

Massive congratulations - well done! Have a fantastic Christmas, with your early present

So sorry about BFN morningpaper. Maybe it was too early?

Miaou · 29/11/2004 08:42
 
 Is there a surefire way to work out your dates?
Miaou · 29/11/2004 08:40

YES!!!! I got a bfp this morning, and a strong one too! I had suspected I was PG earlier in the week but I ddin't want to test until my AF was late!

Just rang DH to tell him (he is away atm) and he is as excited as me!

morningpaper · 29/11/2004 08:40

Miouu: BFP????!!! XXX

mariella · 29/11/2004 08:40

MIAOU!!!!!!!

Many congratulations! Great news! so when are you due? Hurrah, send some babydust please!!!

morningpaper · 29/11/2004 08:39

BFN

Not feeling too bad about it - was expecting it really and was only cycle 2. Although we gave it a good shot this month. Will get an OPK for next month and enjoy drinking as much as possible over Christmas.

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 08:37

miaou - really?

jeddah · 29/11/2004 08:35

beckif I was talking about 'in my water' for hula!,,,, sorry to confuse!

Munnzieb....get that 'M'button pressed!!!!

Off to work in York today, usually my day off....but helping out a bit.

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 08:32

Nightmare runtus. I would be driven mad by now!

Miaou · 29/11/2004 08:30

Well, I just got my Christmas present.....

runtus · 29/11/2004 08:28

Morning ladies, not read all the post's yet but did we all have a good weekend? I managed to ger through it without crying, which is an improvement on the last couple of weekends! Think it has more to do with me seriouslty cutting down my wine intake rather than anything else......

Still no sign of af (cd51 now!) so I'm going to try and see the dr again this week. Almost gave in and wasted another £x on a hpt yesterday but managed to see reason and walk away. There is no way I can be pg now surely?? I have been having really bad stomach ache and random nausea but think that is down to a little bug that has been going round..........I need to come on now, I am carrying so much water right now I could sink a battleship!

Hulababy · 29/11/2004 08:19

Sorry about AF

CD28 here. Just realised that I am a day out waiting for AF. Cycle has been 27 and 28 days, so AF is actually only due today or tomorrow, not yesterday. Sure I have some AF like symptoms.

munnzieb · 29/11/2004 08:12

Just checked, this month is 25 days poss a result of the starflower? It apprears (according to on call) i OV'd for 3 days?? between days 11-13 but haven't according to clear blue although on day 11 I had two strong lines on there.

munnzieb · 29/11/2004 08:06

morning ladies, AF turned up today, I think she's a day early as well?? (will have to check) at least I can not use my persona! lol. Hope every one is doing OK.

colinsmommy · 28/11/2004 21:03

Good luck, morningpaper!!

Tania2 · 28/11/2004 21:01

Good Morning girls
Havent read through the posts yet will do later.
Put our xmas tree last night and deco's looks fab now lets see if ds can leave it alone????
Well still havent had any ferns on my ov test so i dont think this will be the month even if i did ov didnt do any Successful bd. DH seems to be under alot of pressure and it hasnt been successful in that department iykwim. Looks like i will be going down the op mode next month if i fell pg it would be a only bd once successfuly. CD15 of a 26-27 day cycle so really not expecting to ov this late in my cycle. well at least i can have some drinks in the festive season......
Hope you are all well best of luck to all that are waiting to test.

Hulababy · 28/11/2004 20:44

Good luck morningpaper - hope it is your month after all

morningpaper · 28/11/2004 20:42

I am testing again in the morning but expect another big N (so I drinking a little bit of wine to forget my sorrows).

I think our next thread should be "HPT Anonymous" - is there a 12-step program to wean myself off the dreaded sticks? I might have to start stealing money from my mum to fund my habit...
