Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

Im back!! i will confess to having not read what ive missed, theres so much!! So an update would be greatly recieved!!

AS agreed have test, clear blue nothing cheap, BFN so dont know where AF has got to!! how is everyone? x

YouCantTeuchThis · 11/04/2008 11:53

I was officially 'VERY TIRED' for about 1st 20 weeks of pregnancy. Half-woman half-sofa, that was me

Dis - I get cloudy, stretchy cm just before period.

Cal...you old tease

I am trying to understand the chart Tink, but no can do...could the temp rise have been erroneous? Or are you having an implantation dip??

Excuse my ignorance Diege, but you can still have a smear, right? Do you just want to delay in case you need anything done?

kayzisexpecting · 11/04/2008 10:43

I didn't have it with ds. I think that because I now have ds, I could just nap whenever I felt tired. But I cant now.

I have been napping when ds has been though.

Diege · 11/04/2008 10:39

Meant to direct tiredness comments to 'Kay'!

Diege · 11/04/2008 10:38

Test Cals!!!! . You know we won't leave you alone until you do!!!
Kals, sometimes I find I don't really feel the effects of a bad night's sleep in full until the day AFTER the day after if that makes sense! Although it could of course be good old pregnancy tiredness kicking in! Only had that with dd1, and it is such a strange feeling having to stop in the street to rest etc!!
Coming round to May ttc now. At least it gives me a full month/6 weeks to get rid of my muffin top

calsworld · 11/04/2008 10:31

Hi all, been really busy - will also be raising this at my review! Taken my half an hour to catch up you buggers!

Still no AF, but feeling really bloated so am expecting her...

I was going to test today but got back so late from business trip yesterday I didn't have time to pick one up. Will get some for testing over the weekend coz I can always use them another month if AF arrives. Wish I'd bloody sorted them out earlier though!

Have good day guys, I really have to do something useful now, will catch up later.

Diege, its really wierd but I feel more tired today after a whole nights sleep than I did yesterday after a broken nights sleep. This pregnancy tiredness is so much worse than normal tiredness.

Playingthewaitinggame · 11/04/2008 09:57

obviously I meant sorry about your BFN

Playingthewaitinggame · 11/04/2008 09:57

Morning all,

I am a Taurus too. Most of us seem to be spring/summer birthday's here, I'm May 18th.

Still clinging on for Sept. I'm about the last on the list - Cosmos is the only one behind me at the mo. Still holding out, its actually getting a bit easier, I mean I've been holding out on our threads for 4 months now and there's only 5 months till Sept, so I am nearly half way there!

Geordie, sorry to hear about your DP but as otheres said maybe he will change his mind. I agree you never have enough money and it sucks when money is the only thing holding you back. Thats my reason for waiting, we have a couple of loans that finish next year (Feb & April)and there is no way we can afford for me to be on £112 a week until they are paid off. Still, its getting closer now .

Discenchanted, sorry abotu yoru BFP, I say hold off testing again till the last possible min! Not a CM expert, have got good at recognising EWCM but not so good about other types.

Diege · 11/04/2008 09:51

Morning Sorry to hear about you bfn Disenchanted. Have been reading your other threads, and truly hope you get your bfp soon.
GJ, have been thinking about your situation this morning. Surely dh must have some sort of empathy for what you're going through? I'm sure it really is just cold feet, but couldn't you just strangle them sometimes? And get yourself out tonight woman! You will feel better for it, and maybe it might help to chat with your friends (even the pregnant ones) about it? They might even have been through similar things themselves?
Teuch, maybe thrush? Every time I have been pregnant I have had thrush up to and beyond testing , though perhaps a little early to treat as a symptom if you are only just ovulating . Does dh has symptoms too?
Tinks, I must have a look at that chart of yours - the whole temping thing is fascinating, but not sure I could do it everyday, so no use then I suppose!
Whole night's sleep here too Kay , let's hope it's not just giving the LOs a chance to wake us again tonight!

Well, I think April is out for me ttc . Had a reminder letter about my smear yesterday - I have to have them yearly because of previous abnormalities. I've made an appointment for the 28th, so it will be May for me and that's assuming there are no abnormalties. I'm tempted just to miss it as I've had normal smears for 2 years, but I know it would worry me the whole 9 months as my cells changed from CIN 1 to CIN3 (the next is cancerous cells) in a matter of months. Oh well, what's another month eh? though do feel a little disappointed after waiting for so long anyway..

Disenchanted · 11/04/2008 08:46

Af still isnt here for me,

My last one came CD27 and its CD29 for me today. Didn't test this morning, think I will wait till Sunday if shes not here by then.

Was feeling really crampy yesterday.

And if Im going to be totally honest I haven't had any PMT! Im usually like a banshee but nothing hmm

If I hadn't done that test yesterday I would be sure I was PG! (NEG FR at CD28)

Nothing to do but wait!

Can I ask about CM too please? I went to the loo yesterday and had cloudy really string CM, any ideas?

Thanks x

tinkerbellbringingsexyback · 11/04/2008 08:44

Have a lovely time NJ DS and I were lamenting discussing why we couldn't see his Nanny everyday in bed this morning

Strange night... Had OV signs so GOF last night, then woke at 4am needing loo and coudn't get back to sleep with bad OV pains then woke this morning with the itchiest fanjo .

I'm assuming yeast infection but I need to wait til I am sure I ahve OV'd to treat ,I think...

kayzisexpecting · 11/04/2008 07:39

Morning all,

Have a good time Nat.

I actually managed to sleep all night. It was great.

I can't wait to go to London. I need a holiday.

NatalieJane · 10/04/2008 22:51

OK I am back just for five mins, am once again waiting for the sodding cat to come back!

GJ, I agree completely and utterly with Diege and her worshippers followers erm.... fellow TTC'ers, deffo cold feet, give him a few days and broach the subject again, it worked for LL

A FWIW, owning your own house, right now, really isn't all it's cracked up to be, I would quite happily be off the property ladder completely!

Star, my Mum's bday is the 5th of June, Sister's on the 4th, and Gran's on the 19, then little ol' me on the 22nd, expensive month round these parts!

The cat has got 2 minutes then I am going to bed, whether she is in or not! Grrr!

Right see you all after the weekend, xxx

Starshinetiger · 10/04/2008 22:20

GJ, so sorry to hear about DP, as Diege says, maybe it's just cold feet about the whole thing - I remember walking to the shops one weekend when DS was a few weeks old and DH said to me "It was never really in my plans to have children" - I think it was the sleep deprivation talking as I've made him swear blind that he's happy to ttc no. 2. Fingers crossed that the talking does it.
Hello to all you fellow geminis - I'm 5th June too Tink - yay!! Bit scaredy of the age I'm turning this year though and it's only 8 weeks away - I know because I booked in my next haircut for then tonight!
Nat - have a lovely weekend at your Mum's.
Kay - 1 glass will be fine, no worries.
Right, must dash - DH waiting in bed.
Speak soon.

kayzisexpecting · 10/04/2008 22:08

I really do hope he changes his mind.

We don't own our own house and we have 1 ds and I have just found out I am pg. We don't have copius(sp) amounts of cash and we'll be fine.

Buy a Euromillions ticket too. Its £33 million tomorrow. Then he wont have an excuse.

There is never ever a perfect time to have a baby. Never. No matter how much money you have.

Try talking to him.

GJ, agree with Kay Ok, so good to be honest etc, but what how on earth did he think you would feel after getting the implant out etc?? Of course, it could just be male-pattern cold feet (esp after it will be sinking in around now that the implant is out), in which case I'd just sit tight for a few days. Horrible situation to be in though , fingers crossed it's just butterflies on his behalf and all will be well again v.soon .
Off to bed now, but at home with dd3 tomorrow so speak then, diege x

kayzisexpecting · 10/04/2008 21:24

Oh GJ thats horrible. What a nasty thing to do to you. Did he say why?

Glad your holiday was good.
