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!!!

Absolutely gutted. Just di my ngightly OPK and got the feintest line yet, which was such a shock after last nihgts very dark negative (it was almost a positive). Don't know wha't going on, expect it's more of the curse that is PCOS. Am very, very miserable and sad right now

wilbur · 18/11/2004 18:28

Ooooh, congrats to the bfps too! Very exciting! And welcome to MrsFogi and Footstep - here's hoping you have a short but happy stay here

wilbur · 18/11/2004 18:27

Well still no af here, 15 dpo (I think) and cd25 - I did a test yesterday and it was negative but my temp is still high. Then again dd has had a temp so maybe I'm just ill. No other symptoms of preg and of course today I feel a little congested and crampy so maybe I've got it wrong again. Still can't find the tests I ordered from the internet so had to buy expensive ones. Grrr.

munnzieb · 18/11/2004 18:14

well here's to hoping for next month then girls?

runtus · 18/11/2004 15:53

Munzie - yeah tested yesterday and got BFN which was pretty obvious really.......waste of money again!

Hello lovely ladies, it's only cycle 2 of TTC no.2 but I'm aware that this is the last month that there will be 2 school years between dd1 and db2 - if we don't get pg this month then it will be at least 3 school years between then!

Well I'm post-ovulation now and not sure that we really got it on target this month.

Anyway, here's hoping that all the talk of stockings will make Santa come down our chimneys for Christmas (and other bad innuendoes).

munnzieb · 18/11/2004 15:13

have u tested yet runtus

Sallie · 18/11/2004 14:35

Jeddah - each time I started using persona, I got an 'o' in the first month so don't write it off. However, the first month is a bit unusual as you have to do twice the number of test sticks. Best of luck with it.

hester · 18/11/2004 14:14

Oh mazel tov Crazylegs and JiminyCricket

What a lovely start to our lucky thread; thank you for recycling your babydust!

Afternoon girls, and hello to the new people- good to have you on board.

MASSIVE congrats to all the bfp, very pleased for you (if a teeny bit jealous!).

Still no AF!!!!!!

munnzieb · 18/11/2004 13:32

good luck jeddah, and all thouse looking to test this w/e.

Twiga · 18/11/2004 13:31

Ernest, I'm in Aberdeen, it's very cold here at the mo. Jeddah, hurray it arrived! Off to work shortly will catch up with you all soon, take care x

jeddah · 18/11/2004 13:25

girls monitor here!
Reset it OK
Starting using it this morning! how exciting it was to press the 'M' button!!

CD 5 for me!.

its highly unlikely that it will work first ,month but I an quite excited!!!!!

mariella · 18/11/2004 12:38

ernest you sound just like me in that thread! except it is my dh who couldn't imagine life without 4, not me. but I think it would be nice, in between my cold feet iyswim. mine are a little older than yours but my baby is 15 months so not so dissimilar. if I got pg now the oldest would be 8. very exciting that you are almost about to test, i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

jeddah · 18/11/2004 12:30

good luck to all that are due to test!!!
how exciting!

ebbie...sometimes a break a good.......still keep up with the news though!

ernest · 18/11/2004 12:11

any excuse beckif! have fun

BeckiF · 18/11/2004 12:03

I was disappointed to see that my temp hadn't dropped any further this morning, bearing in mind that the OPK was neg but stronger last night, and that I had had stabbing pains low down. Today my temp is the same as it was yesterday and I now have a duller ache than a stabbing pain. All I can do is try the OPK tonight and BD accordingly!!

ernest · 18/11/2004 11:49

sounds nice twiga, where are you?

ernest · 18/11/2004 11:45

footstep, I'm dying to test too. I'm dying to test too. I'm dying to test too.
i can't talk you out of it, I'm too obsessed myself

Mariella, my others are - ds1 5.3, ds2 4 in January, ds3 1 yesterday!! sorry, I know you told me already about yours but I've forgotten & can't find it. I'm generally scatty. I seem to remember they're not to dissimilar to mine. I feel a fraud here myself when some people are having so much bother ttc no 1 (why do I not have a hash sign on my keyboard???). I'm normally swinging wildly between excitment & panic at the thought of 4, but as af is due tomorrow I am, as traditional, noticing millions of 'symptoms' - are they real or imaginary - hot flushes, very tired, had a great dream last night, very vivid - not like me & dh woke my up half way through . so at moment feeling desperate to test. did you see this thread ? don't any of you others look, if you haven't already seen it, don't want to be expelled from this lovely group.

Twiga · 18/11/2004 11:28

Sorry Sallie, can't seem to hold a thought in my head properly at the minute, really is the time of the month where I slowly go mad.....hope the situation changes and that you get to see more of them, maybe the extra work will mean they'll look to family more.

Just checked back in to say, it's snowing proplerly here, only very light just now, but this part of the country is due a covering over the next couple of days - soo excited, love the snow - well until it turns to dirty slushy stuff,then I'm not so keen ! Promised dh I'd make soup before I head off for my shift today, so better go - will check in later before work......

Sallie · 18/11/2004 11:20

Twiga - thanks. Its actually a nephew rather than a niece but won't make that much difference as my sil and her dh are such over-protective parents that we never really see their dd and it will probably be the same for ds although don't think they really realise that having two is more than twice the work, particularly in the first year!!! Best of luck to you for this month. I am feeling nervous for you already! And a big welcome hug for Marina too.

Twiga · 18/11/2004 11:12

Congratulations Crazylegs x

Sallie, congratulaions on the safe arrival of you neice - enjoy!

Marina, not sure if I've ever said hi and welcome properly - hi! Sorry to hear about Tom, glad you've gone on to have your dd, thanks for your kind words to Hester, we're all very fond of her.

Moschops, what a lovely dh, yep I often find that things are quiet and then lively once I'm not looking too, where are you?

Ebbie, sorry to hear you're feeling discouraged about ttc, no harm in taking a break and chilling for a while, hope it helps and that it's not long before you're feeling like giving it another go, lol x

CD23 - wait feeling super long now, aaah!

ebbie22 · 18/11/2004 10:39

I know i havent been any help to any of you lot on here and am giving up trying for a babe,right now...back to the pill for me...Though shall keep lucking and hope you all have bfp in the near future xxxx

footstep · 18/11/2004 10:34

hello again

thank you all so much for the lovely warm welcome!

Wow - congrats, ladies, on your BFPs! That's fantastic!

I'm dying to test now - AF due tomorrow and my temp is higher than it's ever been, except when I was preg. Help! Please talk me out of testing!

Hope everybody's well today

footstep
