TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

Just thought id pass on a discount code for MEDISAVE.CO.UK. The code is : xmasoffers5 and can be used as many times as you wnat for a 5% discount on tests etc.

I don't know, that's the problem! With PCSO, I had a 40 day cycle last month and previous to that a 365 day cycle. My OPK's showed ALMOST a positive on CD17 and I had clear stretchy cm as well as constant low down stabbing pains all that day. Also FF says that my peak most fertile thus far ... I'lljust have to wait and see.

beckif, the shot down in temp.......may mean that you haven't ov yet????????? when do you normally ov?

CD 21 now

beckif what cd are you on????

moschops sorry about BFN!

Still might be too early??/

No Rudy, I'm just fantasising and clinging to a very thin hope ... but as dp says, if it weren't for bad luck we'd have none at all, so I'm not expecting anything other than af or another 365 day cycle. That's just the way it is (as the song goes).

oh beckif - fingers crossed that is exactly what's happened. I don't know much about the whole temp thing as i'm a persona gal but have you had that happen before?

moschops and munnzie - bloody crazy hormones . I fully recommend the Dairy Milk treatment - ate a 200g bar in one evening last week

Sallie - can you help me with the persona sticks as opks...CD6 for me today so my first test stick as starting persona this month - test stick had one strong line and one faint one. Does this mean anything? Are they both strong when OV or does even a faint line mean OV? (I'm presuming not as I 'usually' OV around CD21/22). Any ideas?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. We had a fab dinner out last night (Persian - mmmmmm) but feeling a little ropey this morning. Thought I'd better make the most of ttc and get drunk whilst I can - so I did!!

Morning all - well my temp this morning has shot down rather than up as it should IF I had of ovulated. My sick and desperate mind tells me that it's an implantation dip and I will cling to that until AF shows her scraggy head.

morning moschops,

Hope you're feelin better hon. I know these bloody hormones have a lot to answer for! it will get easier hopefully! (I'm not as weepy now - used to cry for the silly things like the dogs muddy paws on the kitchen floor etc... but after 6 months it seemed to improve) now it's anger mood swings instead! lol. whoeva said TTC would be easy. A cup of tea and a bar of dairy milk normally helps! lol.

The date for the gyno is the 11th jan, so it's only about 6 weeks to go, does anyone know what happens at the first visit?, (I have to take a smaple)

munnzieb > aren't hormones wonderful and awful all at the same time? they cause such unpredictable behaviour and at the same time it is so much easier to blame our reactions on them.

i'm slightly drunk and upset that while in the pub i overheard an aquaintance gloating about being three months pregnant....had to stop myself from crying....i want it so badly, a feeling i know you guys share with me.

BeckiF > i'm soooooo sending babymaking vibes your way......really hope you get lucky.

as jealous as i am of people in RL getting/being pregnant i really don't feel any jealousy for anyone on here that does. i know we all deserve it so much that i can only feel happiness for those lucky ones. jeez i am having my first real emotional month of ttc. thankyou everyone for being here to listen when i need you xxxx

Hi girls, I'm floating about whilst talking to DH, all we're doing at the mo is arguing, a lot of crossed wires I think, that and these bloody hormones, does anyone else have PMT from about cd16 ish until about cd16ish of the next month! lol. God somedays I wish I was a man, they must have it easier than us women, (they don't have hormones!)

My OPK was neg again this evening, but FF says I may of already had my fertile peak in which case we did bd that day so who knows?

well i've settled down after my tears earlier. dp stayed out of the way for a bit then asked if i'd calmed down and made me a cup of tea (the universal tonic!)everything is fine now.

well i couldn't resist and did a hpt this afternoon....bfn of course which i was expecting really but you know how it is, there's always a little bit of hope. consoling myself that i tested too early, but really i'm just frustrated because i have no idea how long this cycle will be. at the moment i'd settle for having a normal(ish) predictable cycle.

well we're off to the pub tonight with friends so that will take my mind off things.......enjoy your evening girls, whatever you may be doing

((rudy))

know how you feel! I am sure that another woman in my antenatal is ttc...and I am dreading her bfp ....but hopefully it won't be long for any of us....come on who is due to test next then???

a quick post from me as I'm supposed to be getting ready to go out for dinner with my antenatal group as our lo are all 1.

just had them all round with the kids which was lovely but we haven't seen one of the couples in ages and they turned up and she's 6 months pg! Really happy for them obviously and actually would be totally freaked by a 16mth age gap but still feeling a little

feeling guilty for thinking that and cross with myself for being upset as this is only our 2nd month of ttc #2 but you know how it is girls....

just glad to have the space here to air my irrational feelings...

'don't' even!

p.s. all. sorry for 'gatecrashing' ttc thread, I'm not doing it to gloat about being pg but I just couldn't not post to Hester. All the best of luck to all of you. xxx

No one is around tonight....so I am off, just getting ready to go out for dinner at a friends house.........she is 5 months preggers after trying for 1 month!!!!!!! and another couple will be there, who are 7 months preggers after trying for 3 months! and another couple who have an 18 month old.........I'll be sat there, like a right old infertile knacker!

Anyway, nothing that a few G+Ts wont't mend!, just hope they talk all night about babies!

Oh Hester, I'm sorry about your horrible experience. They are like that, aren't they, I know they see this kind of thing all the time but one would have thought they'd realise what a tragedy it is for the woman concerned and try and be a bit more sensitive. When I miscarried very early on in the summer I went straight to the hospital with my bleeding. I was seen in the labour ward (! - they don't have EPUs out here in Germany). The doctor gave me a pg test - which was negative again already - and kind of shoved it in my face as if he didn't quite believe I had been pregnant. He was looking a bit scornful and slightly surprised that I was crying - his whole attitude was 'what are you making a fuss about' somehow. He then asked me how old I was and then said how young I am and that I can have more! I wanted THAT one though... it would have been due around my birthday next March and although I'm now happily pg again and things are going well and I want this new baby so much and wouldn't give him/her up for the world, I know I'm going to feel a pang when my birthday comes around. Thinking of you - be good to yourself and I am sure you will find the strength to try again. Big hug. xxx

I think 3 hrs is the longest that no one has posted....
WHERE IS EVERYONE?????????

For those of you who have missed my last post, I have set up a thread for areas where we all live...to see if we can arrange a 'meet' in the new year.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! rudydudy........for those of you with children, it will be even more of a treat!....hope we can get it together.

Good idea for the stats thread jeddah -have added mine. I am more than happy to travel somewhere on the promise of nice food, wine, laughs and a stay in a nice hotel DH and I worked out this morning that since DS he has had at least 12 nights away or on his own (when DS & I went on holiday with my mom) and I have had precisely 0! So think it is time to rebalance this a little...

rudydudy thanks had a quiet bday...off out tonight for dinner party with another 4 couples to celebrate

Perhaps I will start a stats thread for where we all are living (area...not address!). Then if we decide to meet in the New Year we will have a rough idea where somewhere central might be....though have a feeling that it may be difficult.....no harm in trying though!

what CD are you today ernest?
