TTC Thread 15...........a thread full of babydust.

well that's what I thought hellkat but it is unusual for me to O that early - though knowing how weird and unpredictable our bodies are it wouldn't particularly surprise me. Though it would make my LP v.long - about 20 days - is that possible?

but say u feel fruity for 4 days.is there a particular day u would ov or do u need to bd on all those 4 days?

Hiya rudy and cockenzie,
God hester, that's awful!! Just before xmas too. Really makes you think how lucky we are eh?
If it's any consolation rudy, i always get frisky around o time lol . just think it's natures way of saying "come and get it" lol.

yes u must hav a nice relationship. my dp is angel too but he thinks doing those things that way is too clinical and u just take a chance.
however, when we tried for dd we did it every day mor and eve.and wabang!!

so here's a question for all you fertility experts...In the past I have O on around CD20/21 which makes sense as my cycle is normally 34/35 days. This month I tried to monitor CM but didn't see any change at all. However, around CD10 - 14 I was v.v.v. horny and wanted to bd ALL THE TIME - we did as much as we could although I felt that it was 'just for fun' iykwim. I've read since that you would expect to be horny around O. So, my question is - could I have O'd that early? And/or can you O more than once in a cycle? And whilst I'm at it - how long do you O for?

Enough questions I think! Any answers????

sorry hester - that's very sad.

jb - your DH sounds like a real sweetie (what's he doing in the army??? only kidding - don't want to start a controversial subject )

Hi all

CD23 here so I'm now into the waiting game. Not sure when (if?) I O but possibly 2/3dpo. Have just ordered some cheapo early tests off medisave so I can at least go insane a little cheaper this month

Tania - When I had my lap they found endo on my right side (where I'd had pain) which they lasered off. I got pg after 6 months - but 3 months seriously trying and the first month I got the O on persona (which is why I love it so much!) Op itself was pretty fine - just an afternoon job and then home. I did feel rough for a few days but then felt worse because I had taken too much nurofen (so watch out for that one!) I was in pain so took it but didn't realise that you should only take it for a few days as after that it can be the cause of stomach pain and then you can get into a vicious cycle of taking it to relieve the pain which it is causing. (stupid I know but you live and learn). Since starting periods after DS I have had a lot less pain but still some but this partly why I am desperate to ttc soon as I feel like I am racing it to get pg before it comes back! Good luck with your op - when is it?

All sympathy with DS crying. My DS is an angelic happy little soul all day and for the last 10nights has sobbed his heart out through the night. No idea what is wrong and just wish he could talk to me / I could explain to him. Anything! It's very hard and gets harder the less sleep you have. Am seriously considering checking into a hotel for one good night's sleep.

LMAO@ cockenzie!, luckily for me, my DH (bless him) could se I was down about TTC, (we're v v open with each other ... prob too much really) but anyhow, after he's had a long leave period he sits up all night, so he sleeps the following night to get up for work on the mon morning, ie no sleep sat night, early bed sun, work mon. during one of these occassions (and I was particually down) he sat up all night lookin up on the internet seeing if he could find any tips, then when I woke up in the morning he was full of ideas etc... and it's made him more involved in his own way (he's normally living on the computer!) lol.

mid 2os and 2 children? bless them.thats not fair.what about the dad? yes do they know what caused it? sorry about those news

just bd anyways?? my lass i would bed 10 times a day if i could.but dp finds it hard to keep up.hav to chase him around the house.the thing is (i havent been exactly open) but havent told hm that i am monitoring dates and times and ovulation and all that stuff (he would tell me to go and take a )so am only trying to charm him and get him in bd and jump on the big bear (he is twice my size) .but its so much stress that i cant take any more.i'll hav to tell him its team work now.

well u c, 2 months ago i did an ov calender on pc and he saw it.and fair enof he said.lets try.well it didnt work and he said he dont belive in all that crap.fair enof.for him its luk but again i aint mother theresa.so i am trying to sneakily make him understand that u hav to plan those things.i told him that doc said to me that i am so randy cos its my fertile period!!!

god, sorry hester, do u know what caused it?

Just found out one of our secretaries has died, very suddenly.

I only knew her vaguely but feel so sorry for her family; she was in her mid-twenties, with two young children...

sory tanya for ur little one.i know when they cry and cant tell u whats wrong, its so stressful.hav been lucky so far with dd cos she only had pb wih colic (althou that was scary at the time) but now just wee teeth coming oot.

cockenzie, just bd anyways! he he

hi the world!! mama cockenzie got her thermometer now..my new toy...hehe...better work good.i aint buying another one.just got to get persona (save up for th nxt 6 months) and starve for the reast of the year.hehe

well,well.hope it lasts for a long time.its cool and it comes with a diary?

my right ov i am sure is working.getting megga cramps.but does it mean i am ov now or its on its way of ov? u must be going mad u lot with all that biz. am getting so confused, guess am trying to read to much between the lines.well, started cramps last nite but hope cos no sex i havent minimised my chances.

lol, I like ur logic, what do u eman the 'shallow' end? with the carrot juice?

Carrot juice is the chocolate of vegetable juices - mild, slightly sweet, milky. When I ordered one in the organic juice shop the other day the assistant said to me, slightly snottily, 'Staying in at the shallow end, I see'

It's all part of my 'Don't-cut-out-anything-eat-more-of-everything' plan. I think that as long as I keep eating broccoli, fruit and carrot juice, I can eat as much chocolate as I like!

carrot juice? what's that actually like? I'll bare that in mind with the t and choc...... I have IBS at eth dr advised me key triggers can be.... caffiene, choc, orange juice?, wheat and dairy products, so I managed to cut everything out of my diet, (which he was pleased about) but when he mentioned stopping choc.... well, I'd rather have the worse bowel movemets goign that give up choc! :o (besides if was xmas and that's like asking a child to not ask for toys really isn't it!)

You all sound so healthy drinking odgy stuff. I have just finished a mug of hot chocolate BUT have an excuse - needed it to make me feel more cheerty seeing as I am in middle of HMI insoection at school!

Yes, jb, tea counts as caffeine. But is usually weaker than coffee so you can drink more. I have the info at home; will check and get back. Of course, chocolate also contains caffeine but I'm choosing to ignore that one!

All herbal teas are OK, though i think there's some you shouldn't overdo (again, will check). And watch out for the black teas with herbs/flavours added; these will contain caffeine.

Yes, the antioxidants in green and black tea are useful, but again watch out for the caffeine in black tea.

Am drinking carrot juice at the moment and feeling very smug..

Hiya Hula,
Thankgoodness no one can see me atm lmao. Crawling round on the floor, playing peek-a-boo with ds and bouncing to make him giggle!
Ah well passes time and takes my mind off of cleaning rest of house.

ello hula.. bit quiet today.

Morning all :) No news here, AF has finished now (I think), so waiting to reach OV time.

cockenzie - do you have a link to your chart on FF?

Who is waiting to test this week?

((hugs)) mariella pull up a chair and a brew and sit and chat for a while.

Hi Ernest, I'm here! Just being quiet because this thread is moving so fast for me that by the time I read it I have to run off and do something with the children, and also because I'm on cd8 or 9 of my new cycle (after my strange 14 day non-cycle) so all is pretty boring here. girding my loins for a serious week or so of bd-ing but I feel so knackered and pre-cold-y and generally blahh that I don't feel too inspired! I need a talking to, girls.

Also have been thinking that 3 kids is quite hard work, why do I want a 4th? And answer is that if dh wasn't so keen I would probably drop the idea. Which makes me feel a bit guilty...
