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

1068 replies

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!!!

maybe I've missed that bit in the test instructions, but if you keep staring at the bfn under spotlight/natural light/out of the kitchen window, say for 30 seconds every 10 minutes or so, it will after some perseverance turn into a bfp. Right?
my boys keep asking my 'what's that mummy? Can I have one?" (anything that rustles must be sweets)

Sorry Earnest, I know you had your hopes up. Don;t give up yet though, still time if no af.....

Tania2 · 19/11/2004 11:13

ernest it may be too soon though. Fingers crossed for you remember its not over till the fat lady sings.....

Sallie · 19/11/2004 10:52

Ernest - sorry about your bfn - but if you still don't have af in a few days, might be worth testing again...you never know....

ernest · 19/11/2004 10:46

CD18 today and temps went up this morning. I think I had EWCM yesterday too, but still not 100% of spotting that. LOL!

Congratulations Crazylegs

Take care everyone; good luck all!

BeckiF · 19/11/2004 07:48

Morning all - temp is up this morning ... could be that I had a go at ovulating or could be PCOS

footstep · 19/11/2004 07:43

Morning!

pre-commute update -

temp still up! arghhh!

will probably test at lunch time (if AF hasn't turned up by then, of course).

ernest - when will you test? anyone else testing soon?

I guess you are in the bed now? its about ........hang on.................its about 9.30am.......where are you??

BeckiF · 18/11/2004 22:21

Thanks jeddah. I didn't want to be rude to the thread, but it's often easy to forget just what a miracle it is when it happens naturally for you like that.

jeddah · 18/11/2004 22:13

beckif agree with your comments on the 'washing the sperm thread!! I added a right clanger!...which I am afraid to say is very true (sorry to disappoint people who are trying to select genger

jeddah · 18/11/2004 22:11

vel, I think the bottomline is......
scientifically wakefields studies were unsubstantial and lots of data was missed out! irrespective of whos out to get who

crazylegs · 18/11/2004 21:53

Thanks for the congrats - girls.

Munnzieb - I tried 3 cycles of girl theory but that wasn't working for me and then one normal cycle. On the normal I tried the OV kits for the first time - I think they clinched it as my OV was slightly later than I thought plus girl theory you have to stop about 3 days before you ov and then I was about two days late to ov therfore I was trying 5 days before - which was nuts!

Hester - the girl at work that I mentioned earlier was told that she could wait for one cycle, but if she didn't want to wait a cycle just to go for it.

Loads and loads of baby dust to you all xxxxxxxxx

Also congrats to all the other BFPs

velcrobott · 18/11/2004 21:16

Read the threads,..... they're out to get wakefield..... if the journalist is on a mission then I don't trust his report....

jeddah · 18/11/2004 21:01

yea! bloody 23 days!!!!!!!!

Just off to watch dispatches.......MMR!

velcrobott · 18/11/2004 20:59

Well you did say it was soon.... I counted.... and my birthday is NEXT wednesday so it was easy to remember....
My blood tests haven't come back (the ones measuring prolactin).... hope they haven't lost them

Needless to say I've stopped using OPK (must be on CD 75 or something!) and am resorting to looking atr cervicloa fluid and checking cervix..... very low.... so not even bothering.... grrr...

Why are you on CD5? Did you have your AF recently ????

jeddah · 18/11/2004 20:55

vel........how did you know the date!

Thanks matey!

hows things????

velcrobott · 18/11/2004 20:48

Happy birthday Jeddah

BeckiF · 18/11/2004 20:46

Hester my Angel, such kind words. If I did by some miracle ovulate whilst I wasn't watching for a mili-second we've still got it covered as we did the deed last night and DP stayed put for just that bit longer to plug the gap and prevent escape! Y'see, I can laugh even when my heart is in the pit of my stomach. Love and hugs to you all, and thanks for your input jeddah and ernest, all much appreciated.

jeddah · 18/11/2004 19:45

beckif....hate to say this but this happened to me 2 months running..........very dark negative .....then very faint line next day.

maybe this means that we had ov in the night?????.but yes it happened to me twice!!!!!

thats why I bought a persona monitor!!!

so sorry its bloody sickening!

ernest · 18/11/2004 19:17

beckif, so sorry, how gutting. Hope your dh takes good care of you tonight, you must be feeling really down
