Sorry cross posted there clairepo! Yes of course you may, pull up a chair and tell all

JollyBear · 17/03/2008 11:54

Thanks TF - You have given me hope my last cycle was v long and although my temps rose I'm not convinced I ov as it gave me a LP of 18 days the chart looks different from this one too, more jagged and lower high temps. I'm still too scared to test though .

Glad you have binned the thermometer. I think DG was worried about her temps after her BFP and she was advised on the pregnancy board to chuck it away and not worry!

beanie I think the sex is the most important thing so fingers crossed for you! Are you testing or waiting it out?

ClairePO · 17/03/2008 11:51

Hey ladies can I join you? Am currently spotting ov symptoms.

beaniesteve · 17/03/2008 11:45

If it's any consolation not only can I not find my cervix, I have had no EWCm this month and no positives on OV sticks

Still, did a lot of sex so who knows!

twinklingfairy · 17/03/2008 11:43

Oh MOET You made me cringe to say it so blatently

It could be that DH was a little over enthusiastic.
My Bro's GF had a small amount of blood recently cos of that (she is about 9wks pregnant now) He was dead chuft, roll of eyes, men!
But if your cervix is open but medium, I imagine it will rise in the next couple of days. Mine always went in that order.
Can you jump on DH again?

twinklingfairy · 17/03/2008 11:39

Your temp is still really high jollybear and mine dipped the day after I tested. And continued to do so in fact yesterday it was practically at the coverline. So I have thrown the thermometer away.
I think you are still in with a chance.
How long is your norm LP, have you passed it yet?
I coull be getting excited for you here!

JollyBear · 17/03/2008 10:07

Morning MOB,

You can get a little bleeding at ov apparently so it could be that. Would this be a v late ov for you? EWCM can get stuck up near your cervix (not beanie's cervix ) so you could try going on a EWCM hunt. If I was a betting bear I'd say that you are about to ov if your cervix is still open. Maybe the reflexology has made your ov stronger, hence the blood .

Thanks for looking at my chart! My temp is still high, it is just the dip that has got me in a bit of a tizz as I'd got my hopes up . If my temps remain in the high range I'll try and pluck the courage up to test on Wednesday.

MadOldEasterTurkey · 17/03/2008 09:53

Morning Everyone!!

I have changed over to my Easter name (thank you Bucky - your suggestion!!)

Fairy thank you for all your details - it really does help the rest of us. I am still struggling with the thought of a fairy doing it from behind!!!! Please don't worry about the "brown gloop", cramps or your temps - you are pregnant - enjoy! (I know though that not worrying is easier said than done)

scaryhairy strange - everything is sounding promising for you, apart from the BFNs. Do let us know if you do a sneaky one today. And wow, if you get a BFP after having the EI treatment - we'll all want it!! (Morning EI )

hattyyellow i'm pleased you had a nice birthday weekend. I know what you mean about feeling that things are never going to happen, but hang on in there.

DG lovely to hear from you. I will be thinking about you and your scan today. Please do let us know how it goes.

FDCO/pink You must be frustrated with all this waiting around for AF / BFP, but you always sound so positive. I reckon you will get one or the other in about a week / ten days, going by the symptoms you had last week.

JB Thanks for sharing your chart. I know nothing about temping, but that still looks high to me. As you are 13DPO according to your chart, i guess any test should be reasonably accurate, but I do understand what you mean about not wanting to test yet, and I admire your resolve. Do let us know if you do test though!

PicknMix i would echo everyone elses thoughts and see a GP, just for peace of mind if nothing else - it sounds that new one you mentioned may be far more suitable!!

Good morning to any other ladies i haven't mentioned.

HELP ME - i am going a bit mad here!! After feeling chilled and relaxed last week, i am now in a pathetic state! BDed on Friday (as you all know but have not since, due to absence of EWCM. Cervix felt open yesterday but still fairly low. Then yesterday afternoon i had some pinky / brown stained discharge for a few hours . This morning (CD 18) a bit of creamy CM but no EWCM. What does this all mean???? I panicked yesterday and got a CBD OPK - no smiley face, but second line was apparent although not too strong, just how it normally is a day or two before a +ve OPK. I would normally have a reasonable amount of EWCM though. So where has my EWCM gone???? (It's missing - perhaps it is hiding with beaniesteves cervix ) And what on earth was that blood??? Now i think that the reflexology may have broken my insides... And have we missed the egg? Or hasn't it appeared yet??? Sorry to ramble on, but if anyone has any suggestions i would welcome some help!

JollyBear · 17/03/2008 09:08

My chart jollybear

My first ever link

JollyBear · 17/03/2008 09:07

Morning all,

fairy What great news! Congrats I'm soooooo pleased for you.

DG Good luck with the scan, do let us know how you go on.

SH Everything sounds promising except that pesky BFN. If you are past your usual LP then I'd still be very hopeful. Fingers crossed for you.

Hatty Hope you had a good birthday.

Shakey Sounds promising from you

P&M Hello! As the others have said I think it would be worth going to the Dr, your cycles do sound very erratic.

Sorry about BFN pink/FD, glad you are still feeling positive.

I didn't test yesterday, I really can't face a BFN. I felt so hopeful but my temp has dipped a bit this morn and just feel like I might have got my hopes up for nothing. I'll have a go at putting a link in to my chart if anyone wants a look.

Hello to ei, mibbes, GG, MOB and anyone I've missed

fairydustcomingover · 17/03/2008 08:14

off to my friends laters

fairydustcomingover · 17/03/2008 07:44

morning ladies bfn here not going to test for a while as if bean stuck bding last wk wouldnt show on test.
cd 51 for me no af. not over till red lady sings:O

ScaryHairy · 17/03/2008 06:58

I am hoping that the Ei treatment is lucky.

No sign of AF here. FF says I am 14 dpo (normal luteal phase = 13 days) and my temps have gone higher. I did a test yesterday and BFN so who knows. Alternatively I could have ovulated 2 days after FF thinks, but if so what were those awful pains I have been having since Thurs? It would certainly be too early for AF.

Am going to pick up a bumper pack of tests on my way into work and do them all tomorrow morning if temps are still high.

Hope everyone is well this morning.
Fairy - get yourself over to the ante-ntal thread. There'll be lots of new Mumsnetters over there who will be more scared than you!!

ShakeysGirl · 17/03/2008 00:43

Still no af after that slight bleed on friday. Usually have 36 day cycles so due on wednesday i think.

twinklingfairy · 16/03/2008 22:03

haha scary you got the ei treatment!!
I wnder if it is really worth reminding her

Hiya digitalgirl thank you so much for you congrats. It is nice to have finally graduated.
Thank you for reminding me of your plight, I remembre now, you were on holiday at the ime. You must have been so worried.
Glad all is well, and that you enjoy your scan tommorrow, it is so exciting, you must pop in and share your joy

I am calming down now and relaxing into believing that it might just be true.
Planning to get PIL up in a fortnight so that we can surprise them with a CBD.
Have managed to convince DH that he would much prefer to tell them in person than over the phone.
Last time DH was working away from home and I had to tell him over the phone, this time was so much better

I hope you get your BFP tommorrow scary then I would have a familiar face over in the anti natal thread. It is scary to have to start again, when I feel I know everyone here so well.

ScaryHairy · 16/03/2008 20:25

Ooooh, hello DG
I'm glad to hear all is going well with you and Digibean. 12 week scan is amazing as it will look a bit like a baby (although a bit like a fish as well). Enjoy!

digitalgirl · 16/03/2008 20:11

twinklingfairy Congrats!!!!!! So glad to hear one of my old symptom spotting buddies has got a. BFP!! And don't worry about brown spotting, I had three weeks of it and all was well at seven week scan.

Got my 12 week scan tomorrow, when I think I'll be 12+6 but I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow.

DG waves to all the other spotters, especially Ei hatty jb gg bucky mibbles mob coolkat picknmix scaryhairy

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 16/03/2008 14:13

oh im sorry scary im such a dunce well il have to smother you in hugs and kisses like i did to TF when i missed her off....

xx ei xx

ScaryHairy · 16/03/2008 13:12

TF the pains could absolutely be beanie burrowing. When I conceived my daughter I was positive my period was coming because I had horrendous cramps from 9 or 10 dpo. I recall DG saying she had the same when she conceived Digibean. So cramps should not worry you, and you shouldn't stress because stressing will not help.

No news here. I still have cramps bit not AF. I've had cramps since what would have been 7-9 dpo this cycle, and now am either 11 or 13 dpo, so will do another test tomorrow if AF hasn't appeared. I do feel terribly liquidy (sorry, TMI) though.

You missed me Ei. Tut tut. .

Hope you're all well

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 16/03/2008 11:48

Oh sorry scary for your BFN and you hatty for AF turning up on your birthday what a b*£ch!
Your DH sounds lovely though, Two Birthdays!!

My temp was very near the coverline today.
I took it after getting up for DD, then climbing back into my bed with her. So I don't think it was a good reading.
Also very very bunged up, can barely breathe and throat it so sore

Also had periody type pains

So sure it is not going to stick, it has been too long coming.

But DH has told me to stop stressing and I have put the thermometer into the medicine bag, so no more temping and I am going to try to convince myself that pains are beany burrowing.

Still, feel down though. I should be over the moon.
Curses to MN for filling my head with things to worry about!
