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!!!

Hester

thank u so very very very much for advice.Its so helpful.A lot of those things i didn't know.
I read one of your further post when u say to spread the times when you bed to further your chances.its so true.WHen i first started 5months ago to plan for no2, i bought that predictor and targeted for only those 2 days of ovulation but never realising how irregular my cycles are.this month should be coming on on xmas day ( well hopefully i wont come on ) .now finished my periods on wed and am going to charm hubby for it every 2 days so to enhance chances.
I do hope all of yous get the best chance for xmas.
Thanks again very much

JB getting on great.

Listen to this!!!!!!!!!!!! Pee'ed on a stick this am and it had 2 very strong lines on it (also felt like I was ov IYKWIM) so I knew it was going to say 'O'

So I also decided to do the manual sticks aswell....to see what they said!!!!...........
So I tested with the OPKs (2 different kinds that I had left form last month) and they were very negative!!!!!!!

I was always been very frustrated with the manual ones....is it dark!...is it dark enough???? etc etc etc etc etc .

So I concluded the persona is fab!

jingleballs · 02/12/2004 22:41

It's a soap opera! lol, but still it keeps life intresting! lol. wish I had done my shopping in one day, but at least it's done now and there won't be any last minute shoppin trips! lol.

Hey this time next yr any ways, hopefully u'll be PG so you'll have to take things easy!

jeddah · 02/12/2004 22:39

jeddah · 02/12/2004 22:33

Keep fogetting that you have changed your name!
JB.....what time did you press the 'M' button then???

Bit of a pain really when starting the persona...but its gets exciting....bit boring.... just keep peeing on your sticks girl and things will start to happen.

You pee on day 6 then on day 9, 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, and day 23!

jingleballs · 02/12/2004 22:32

not bad ty, had the afternoon off, did my xmas shopping and wrapping (finally all finished!) with a friend, then scrubbed my carpet, and have just got in from one of the girls house. Found out her DW was cheatin on her, aparently it's all a pack of lies and the ex just want's to win her back?? (complicated stuff for me to understand this late in the day! lol) still finished half a bottle of taboo off! lol.

jeddah · 02/12/2004 22:29

munnzieb...thanks for asking matey

Been a hectic day really.....2 other Health Visitors were off sick so I have 20 women and their babies in Postnatal group, teaching about weaning, then ran off to do one of the sick Helath Visitors baby clinics, then had home visits all afternoon to new Mums with their new babies!

Got home shattered!
Now had a nice bath and G+T (dh at the gym with the lads!)

How about you?

jingleballs · 02/12/2004 22:25

Thanks Jeddah for glimmer of hope.

For the next two days I am coordinating the church christmas fete with about twenty 90 year-olds so that will take my mind off things.....! (When I mentioned recently that there was no disposal unit in the ladies toilet they looked at me like I was MAD - then I realised I was the only person menstruating... Makes me appreciate that really this IS a really good time of my life, and I'll undoubtedly look back on it as the best time, even though it's a rollercoaster!

jeddah · 02/12/2004 21:24

hula, geordie, morningpaper....just to say that, there is hope for you all yet.

I read quite alot of preggers charts on FF and loads had no line at 14dpo, even at 16dpo....but then!.....had lines at 18dpo!!!!!! So what I am trying to say is.......don't give up hope yet!!! we are all counting on you guys.........

Can I just ask anyone........when you get an O' on your persona....how often do you bd?????
We have been bding every other day since cd9 now I am cd19.......had bd this morning as had read the persona with the 'O' .........what do you suggest now (frequency etc etc etc)

marinda · 02/12/2004 20:53

Thanks morning paper for the advice, I honestly thought that we wre "underperforming" should I say. DH is 37 with fairly stressful job so maybe this is a factor. Blo**dy frustrating. Might go to DR's and ask for blood test. Good luck to you anyway. Will watch the space!

morningpaper · 02/12/2004 20:43

Hi Marinda,
zinc is good for sperm count but, to be honest, I think that your DH is giving it a very good performance! (Unless he is 17)

Viagra is generally only prescribed on the NHS for men who have extreme medical/psychological need for it - although you can of course buy it over the internet (although this is obviously ahighly dubious practice).

Hulababy · 02/12/2004 20:42

Have my fingers and toes crossed for you. I'll be logging on first thing just to see. Really hope it is your time!
