TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

Morning All

Wow Tania - Can't believe how quickly it has all happened (is it my imagination or would it just not have been that quick over here?). I am so happy for you and pleased that you are feeling more positive.

CD12 - persona stick showed a faint line alongside the test line today. Does anyone know if this means I might be O? Seems really early as I have been having a 35+ cycle but not at all sure what's going on with my body so I suppose it's possible.

good morning

wow tanya.thats good news. v happy for u and hope all goes fine

how do u work out ur cds girls? ithought it was fron 1st day of ur periods isnt it?
what is luteal phase and how do u work out?

Hi girls back from my appointment re ivf.
gyno has put me on the pill then said that the embrio transfer should be in 5 weeks WHOO HOOO YIPPEE!!! just means that if it all takes well ds will either have a brother or sister on his 3rd birthday. Have chosen to have 2 of my embrios implanted so i have 40% chance of having TWINS because of my age (27).
love to you all and thank you for all your kind words when i was a blubbering mess last night feeling alot more positive today. But word of warning once i start the hormone injections lookout i will be calling on you guys

Hi Ladies,

I've just read the whole thread in one go!!! what a reading!
best of luck to all the pregnant ladies, hope you stay around for the rest of us ttc-ers for guidence and support!

Isn't Persona just a glorified, multi-use OPK? what's the big deal with it? I've been using OPK and usually when there is a + i double check with anothe brand- the stupid-proof digital clear blue- if the face ain't smiling it ain't happening right?

Munnzie, go to the gynae just for reassurance! besides you waited so long!

Oh morningpaper; that phrase has made me feel quite sick

Off-putting is probably right! I'd rather be shagging.

Wasn't it Bill Clinton who described his semen as "baby gravy"?!

LMAO - he said 'shagging?' so I told him the truth which apparently is not cute but is 'off-putting' - ooops! Best go before I ruin all my chances! Catch you all later...RD xxx

DH v. smug now as he just worked out what CD was. Now to explain bd

just popped by to say a quick hi and check in and dh has just read a few of your messages and is pssing himself laughing at all the acronyms. He's a wnky consultant and thought that nobody would ever out-acronym him but I think you all just did!!! Well done

Got to go now and translate...

btw - CD11 here and a little cross with persona as it started tests for this cycle yesterday which I think is too soon but you can't argue with a machine!

Hi ladies - just got really p**ed off with my remaining OPK - on usually OV - no line showed up and i've bee bd like mad. That's it I am definately going to get a persona even if I pay full price. Read a book recently which stated OVK were VERY unreliable !

Hester Hi - can't believe ARABICA - What good luck ! LET'S HOPE IT'S ONE OF US OLDIES SOON ASWELL !

Welcome Littleweed - stay with us ! Welcome other newcomers and keep posting so we get to know you !

CD10 HERE !

ok,munnzieb.when is hubby home???

PS. jedds, how are your new shoes? My trendy boots gave me blisters...

jedds, I saw! I just don't understand how she could have done it so quickly! That woman is a marvel...

I am cd20 and 7dpo, I think. Wow, we're almost in sync! I intend to test Friday week, if no af by then. What about you?

Come on jedds, let's race over the finish line together

cockenzie, jb was her christmas name she has changed back to munnzieb

Sallie do another test ...not predictor!

Hester arabica is pregnant! bloody marvellous!
theres a chance for us old knackers yet!
HOW MANY DPO ARE YOU HESTER??

Hi munnzieb! whens hubby home?

((((((hugs))))))) tan!

I am cd26 and 6-7dpo...af arrived this time last month!
Off for a bath then to cuddle up with my dh in front of the wood burning stove! (no booze though, trying to not drink during the week!!)

where is jb gone?

(((hugs))) Sallie - nightmare, Not used Predictor but from what others say here it is best not to trust it. You can't get a false positive.

I'm thinking of you Sallie too - predictor = crap! Though so there's still lots of hope

Really pleased to hear that hester. I hope you have success and much happiness in 2005. LOL at the temple bit - I put on 5lbs . Strictly no chocs for me no matter how I feel. Really want to get to my pre-pg weight before doing it all again!

I'm okay. Having a bit of a low after the hols today. And have really come down with a bump as am revising for exams in a couple of weeks time . Spent the morning in the library doing my head in and not much work which won't help but never mind, there's always tomorrow. (Does anyone else shout at and nag themselves really loud in their head or is it just me?! God, I just wouldn't shut up today!!) And here I am going on again - sorry!

How are you doing Sallie? Thinking about you - have you done another test?

Oh hester i don't knoooooow cries lol it's usually (strangely) the 1st of every month bang on, but if you remember last month lol it was the 11th...i'm a bit clueless, just sure of when I O'd

Aw, thanks cockenzie and fastasleep - it's really great to have you cheering me on! I am on cd19/20 (can't quite remember) and today had my first twinge, which would normally throw me into the depths of despair. But now I know that I have NO clue as to what my body's signals mean, I'm determined to be calmer this year and try not to get so overwrought.

have to say, though, fastasleep - the hyper and dampness sound familiar to me... when is your period due?

I feel really weird by the way! I'm sort of hyper and can't stop cleaning (which is most unusual!) and I'm really really...damp..(tmi!) I'm at 14 dpo...when should I test? I don't want to go mad like last month

Sallie, I've posted on the antenatal thread to say that I ditto Hester - predictor tests cruddy. Maybe wait a couple of days (ha - couldn't do this myself) and then if no AF try clearblue or f/r or Boots or anything other than predictor. The digital ones are great but pricey.

Hey Hester just wanted to say a big WELL DONE to you! pats hester on the back!

Sallie - i did a predictor when i was testing a couple of weeks ago and it came up negative after one faint pos before. I then did clearblue which came up faint positive !! I'd not trust that test if i were you.
