Morning all,

GG Lovely to see you . I was wondering if your DH's results were back yet. Fingers crossed everything is OK. Mind you, my dad had a low sperm count and it took four years for my mum to fall pregnant with my brother but then I arrived 18 months after he was born.

bucky Hope Finn feels better soon. I always want to stay at home when my cats are poorly!

Sorry abot the BFNs tapster SH coolkat I know exactly what you mean about the BFP fantasies. AF has to be at full flow before I let those go for another month!

P&M Glad the house move went well!

MOB I make notes too! I've not told DH about MN I think he'll tease me!

I'm amused my my reputation for being so positive! I'm not always so upbeat honest but I do try to be a jolly bear!!

Anyway best be off, hello to anyone I've missed esp ei and mibbes! How are your temps mibbes?

GryffinGirl · 17/02/2008 11:41

hello everyone and welcome to newtoTTC.

Sorry I haven't been around much, but I had a day holiday on Friday, meetings all Thursday and the internet is broken at home, but I am in the office today, hence my being able to post here

Hope everyone is well, I have only had a little skim of the thread because everyone has been so busy posting, so hope I haven't missed anything or anybody

Bucky - sorry to hear that Finn is poorly. GET WELL SOON FINN! Also sorry to hear that the sexy doc wasting available for your examination

hatty - I am laughing at the toothpaste story! Poor you.

hello to everyone else and sorry for the BFN's and AF's that turned up. I am off to the doctors this week for a floow up and also we are waiting for DH's results (sperm test ones ). I found an article in The Guardian on saturday which deals with male infertility just incase it is bad news. I have hidden it for now from DH.

hello to to scary picknmix MOB MrsEi and the others - sorry to anyone missed.

Tapster · 17/02/2008 09:34

Oh dear Scary, however jealous of your Hotel Chocolat slab, I've been eyeing up the Easter catalogue.

BFN again this morning. Convinced heightened sense of smell has disappeared over the last couple of days and my moles have undarkened themselves!

A bit confused as some info on the internet says that pregnancy tests often don't work if you are still BFing others says it doesn't matter. Need to know asap if I'm pregnant as I need to change the drugs I take each day up to 12 weeks.

Will test again on Tuesday these BFN's put me in a bad mood.

ScaryHairy · 17/02/2008 09:04

She's shown up now. I have Hotel chocolate mini slab in hand as I type...

What's wierd is that my luteal phase this month was 2 days shorter than normal. On the plus side it means I am going to get another go sooner than I otherwise would. The downside is that it makes it even more likely that DH will be away when I next ovulate (grrr). I think I will have acupuncture this month and see if that makes a difference. I'm also going to make DH take Zita West vitamins to ensure top notch swimmers!

coolkat · 17/02/2008 08:38

Ew Scary sorry you think TEW is coming to get you. I won't even say Its not over until.........

I hope she does not arrive. Been speaking with DH and DM a little and going to try and chill a little

ScaryHairy · 17/02/2008 08:26

Good luck Tapster

The BFP fantasies are over for me. My temp has come down and cramps are continuing. I can try sitting in the corner with my fingers in my ears singing "la la la la" but TEW is still going to get me.

Oh well, cycle 7, FFS.
(Actually it's cycle 9 without contraception. Ho hum).

Tapster · 16/02/2008 20:05

Hello again. BFN today but I'm not sure when AF due - Weds/Thurs/Friday and tomorrow will be 14 DPO I think. Will test again tomorrow. I'm not sure if I want to be pregnant or not with no.2 as I wanted a larger gap although DH didn't. Even had half a glass of wine tonight although it did taste strange and I'm still feeling nauseous.

Good luck to those that also had BFN's today.

newtoTTC · 16/02/2008 19:58

Hi ladies
I'm new here. Had a BFN this afternoon but still convincing myself its not true yet! It's only the first month of TTC but I can but hope!

coolkat · 16/02/2008 19:40

I still having BFP fantasies to even after two BFN's . . . . .

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

ScaryHairy · 16/02/2008 18:04

TF I'm having BFP fantasies too...

I have no more spotting, just an ache in my lower back. I have taken another test (BFN) but am telling myself that if a bean implanted yesterday when I got the spotting it would not show in my wee until at least tomorrow. That's my current fantasy and I'm sticking to it. I'm only 11 dpo (13 day luteal phase normally) in any event...

CK absolutely - it will be soooo worth it when it finally happens. All these babies will be very wanted and loved.

Hi Bucky I do hope Finn dog is feeling better.

Hi to everyone else. I hope youre enjoying the weekend.

twinklingfairy · 16/02/2008 17:04

Still only a litle brown spotting
What is going on??

I don't want to test cos I am happy in my pretend world of I could be pregnant. A BFN would just crush that.

coolkat · 16/02/2008 14:03

God knows, give up now!!! Day 31 so I would have thought AF would have arrived. See what happens over next few days. DH been lovely today bless him text saying how we got loads of time this that and the other. Bless.

Then took mum shopping and my brother's baby due March so found myself in mothercare and Toys R Us looking at baby stuff, I did not feel upset just thought it would be worth the wait when it happens.

mibbes · 16/02/2008 13:50

aahh coolkat so sorry BFN - how mant dpo ? maybe still too early ?

coolkat · 16/02/2008 13:01

BFN Again but still no AF.

Oh well, being positive looks like more BD required!!!

mibbes · 16/02/2008 11:48

coolkat do the test ! if you have FMU waiting then dip the stick good luck !

coolkat · 16/02/2008 08:51

Morning

Any testers? I feel sick but also got tummy ache so do not know whether to test. My first wee of the day is upstairs in a pot waiting!!

Think I feel sick as got tummy ache but all the AF signs could also be all the BFP signs.

Don't know what to do. DH at work saying test....

Sorry for me ramble just needed to air.

mibbes · 15/02/2008 23:00

sorry quick post - Fairy I take VitB6 and B-Complex, they are supposed to help each other be absorbed.
MOB loving the yawning symptom !
no more symtpoms here apart from very tired zzzzz ooh may have the yawn symtpom

Bucky2008 · 15/02/2008 21:56

I just typed LOADs and accidentally deleted it. . AND i had not made notes .

so edited version:

Really glad to see you back PicknMix. Hope your new house is the best house you have ever lived in.

Jollybear you are so brave and strong. I hope your scan goes really well. Whenever I have a sh*t day over something stupid now I think of you and your PMA (Positive Mental Attitude ) and it makes me realise that life is what you make it. You deserve a BFP soon

Fairy hope your bottom is not sore anymore after your fairyflop . Glad Mrs Ei's chocs cheered you up.

Hey DG/Digibean the weeks are flying. The next time we meet up you will be massive .

GRIFFINGIRL WHERE ARE YOU????? . You know I am going to come and find you if you don't come out of your lurking place soon. .

You are all such sweeties on here. AWww. Bucky is feeling all sentimental tonight .

The Finn dog has been really poorly . I thought he would have to go to doggy hospital but he seems to be on the mend hopefully now. He had a bad case of worms and then was allergic to his worming medicine. . I wanted to stay home from work and look after him like a baby....

AF is still hanging out here, so no news in that regard.

Have a good weekend girls.

digitalgirl · 15/02/2008 21:35

hey MOB nice to see you! Only nausea over here, usually sorted out with some comfort food, tonight's was fish finger sandwiches. Btw dh and I shared a whole bottle of champagne when I conceived. So I think that makes champagne a ttc aid. Glug away!

Fairy - sorry to hear your feeling down. If you do end up taking a break make sure you enjoy yourself. Nights out with the girls for example.

scary - have a lovely time!

twinklingfairy · 15/02/2008 21:04

Sure coolkat it is a massive box ei has outdone herself on the sweets this time. YuuUummy!!

I think I might save my stomping for tommorrow morning when she arrives in force. Bit stomped out for now.
Thanks you guys for easing me out of my cream puff corner

My poor wee sis gets some gory details, but not too many. You guys get the best bits oh and DH gets lots of yucky details too. teehee

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 15/02/2008 21:04

CK we are happy to hear them so vent away
xx ei xx

coolkat · 15/02/2008 20:55

Oi TF Chuck us a choccie now you picked yourself up and dusted yourself down!!!

I do not discuss TTC with anyone in RL so sadly you guys get the good the bad and the strops!! ...... Sorry

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 15/02/2008 20:55

yeah i know what you mean scary my BF would positively vomit if i started describing the goings on in my nether regions i think i would be so mortified that i would have to go and hide in a big hole until she had forgotten all about it
xx ei xx

madoldbird · 15/02/2008 20:54

EI yes, i think you're right - you lot here know far more abut me in some respects than most of my friends in RL. Have just been laughing at your compulsive testing that you mentioned in the waiting room. This afternoon i was in Sainsbury's seriously considering buying a HPT to carry out now, as i hadn't got my +ve OPK,so OBVIOUSLY i was pregnant, and the AF i had had (heavy bleeding, clots and all) was just implantation!!!! I manged to stop myself.

TF stomp away, then, stomp away!!! And can you get down to some proper drinking please?! I have just poured myself a G&T and DD has come into me, asked me if it was alcohol, and told me that i was killing millions of my cells, and i am going to DIE!!! Lovely.

ScaryHairy · 15/02/2008 20:50

Gosh, I think it is much easier to talk to you lot about it than people I know in r/l. One of my friends knows I am trying, but I doubt I would give her detailed descriptions of my cm!!
