She isnt ill just very wingy and clingy...

Playingthewaitinggame · 11/06/2008 17:06

I'm sorry to hear about you DD LL, hope she feels better soon.

lardylumps · 11/06/2008 17:01

very well thanks playing.... DD is a bit of a missery today and has a nasty rash. We think it is the MMR she had last week as they say it can affect them up to 10 days later... She is given her daddy some grief at the moment I can hear her...

Star - my Dh is our H & S consultant so he will write my pg assesment!

Meely, sorry your feeling poorly.

I don't think its always easy to tell when you ov. I think I have been lucky. Cos I have been "officially" waiting since Jan (when I joined MN, or course I was broody for ages before) I have had the luxury of monitoring my cycle, so I now have a pretty good idea. I think it also helped that DH was using condoms so any CM was obviously CM IYKWIM. I also get quite obvious EWCM for a day or 2 every cycle which follows several days of being very wet which I believe is also fertile stuff.

Hi Nat, oh I'm not changing my name yet cos I am still waiting. I'm waiting to be pg!

Hi LL and Teuch, how are you?

pregnantpopcornprincess · 11/06/2008 16:47

oops - one just escaped and I swear I levitated.

lardylumps · 11/06/2008 16:45

Hello everyone I see you have been busy again.... Whats that smell........... It smells abit like Teuch only joking but your farty pg gets me every time...

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 11/06/2008 16:41

Oh and Cal, if you're still about, am here now, obviously...!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 11/06/2008 16:40

Ok have caught up, but promptly forgotten it all!

Had to have a giggle at turbo-boost farts! And I thought we were a bunch of laydees on here?

Have been trying to have a bit of a snooze on the sofa, but just as I led down (after getting DS2 into bed) DH came home, he left so I led down again, phone rang, led down again, suddenly remembered I had that doppler and hadn't tried it for ages, so led there awake for a while not being able to drop off with out trying it, but then not wanting to get up, so I get up, try the doppler, and nothing still, led back down to nap and DS2 woke up, time for late lunch and pick DS1 up, so now not only knackered still, but haven't caught up on last nights BB, so have 2 hours of the crap that can't be missed tonight....

I am moaning, am going to stop. For now!

Teuch · 11/06/2008 16:34

And see if you can find a link to Tink's chart on an old thread - hers was like the rockies but was all good!!

Teuch · 11/06/2008 16:33

But definitely keep having sex just in case!!

Teuch · 11/06/2008 16:33

I'm not very good at the charts but if the circles (as opposed to dots) are fairly reliable then I think it looks quite good!

It doesn't quite tie up with the ewcm, but then if you were having sex then it is sometimes hard to tell IYSWIM without very close scientific inspection...

Assuming you did OV around CD10, then the latest dip is very promising, no?

I would try a test on Friday...

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 16:27

Teuch could you take a look at HN's chart please, Im not sure if she O'd yet. Whaddya think?

Teuch · 11/06/2008 16:24

Hey!

Meeely - you do know that pregnancy slows down your digestion system causing constipation and wind??!! turbo-boost farts were one of my early symptoms with every pregnancy In fact, current sypmtom...

Meeely2 · 11/06/2008 16:14

sorky, be careful wot you wish for! And yes i am worried this time round, but hey, done it once, can do it again I guess! Won't pretend I won't be gutted intially, as I REALLY wanna experience a singleton and be able to spoil it rotten!

Yes very teeny, 2lb 8 and 2lb 4 - wouldn't believe it now mind!

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 16:06

My goodness your DT's looked teeny when born Meeely.

They're heart breakers in the making methinks. Not worried about DT's again this time>

Ooh I'd love twins!!

calsworld · 11/06/2008 16:05

Oooh Meeely, didn't realise you had twins! He looks lovely in them!

sorkycake · 11/06/2008 16:03

wonder how Ses got on?

Meeely2 · 11/06/2008 16:02

just added a cute pic of DT2 with his new specs if anyone is interested

calsworld · 11/06/2008 16:02

Well, I promised an investment in pre-seed if no AF this month so have just purchased some from access diagnostics. Can't do any harm can it?

Meeely I know EXACTLY how you feel, I have NO clue when I OV...but at the same time, I've not been trying that hard to find out either...I'm not ready to start temping and stuff like that, anyway, I think DH would get annoyed, he already thinks I'm obsessed on the basis that I come on here too often and am disappointed when AF arrives .

Hope things are going OK for Ses, hello everyone else.

NJ - are you lurking today?

Meeely2 · 11/06/2008 15:59

i am at work also - i have been nipping to loo every so often for a parp, but when i do, it feels bunged up and all i get is a squeak!!!

one hour to go then off to get my horrors angels....

pregnantpopcornprincess · 11/06/2008 15:57

oops meant grin not grim!!

pregnantpopcornprincess · 11/06/2008 15:56

meeely. poor you. sounds like you've had enough of it all today. never say never until AF arrives. I've got my fingers crossed for you. NJ thought she had missed the boat (i think - correct me if i'm wrong NJ) and she got BFP.

p.s - i also have really bad wind today. I'm at work so can't rip one off like you can. Do it in the bath - its more fun!! [grim]

Meeely2 · 11/06/2008 15:51

getting right fed up of tummy ache and general bloating today.

before TTC I was trying to lose the 2 stone that had managed to creep on without me noticing. I have lost a stone so far and even lost 2lbs at my weigh in today, even though I feel the size of a house.

Home, kids in bed and then bath for me I think, really feel like i need a BIG fart (sorry if tmi!). Just wish AF would arrive so we can draw a line under this month and start again next month.

Having been TTC for 2 months now i think I can safely say I have absolutely no idea when I OV....i get tummy ache, I think (hard to tell, I have irritable bowel which gives much the same symptoms!) and feel low around mid cycle, but none of this EWCM or any CLEAR signs I might be OV. Dh and I have been BD pretty much daily, but we had the week off last week, thinking that OV had been and gone, but now starting to wonder that if AF is gonna be on CD38, then OV would have been last week and not the week before like we thought!

Is there NO easier way to do this?!

lastboxoftampons · 11/06/2008 15:45

Hi all - I'm not even going to pretend that I'm going to try to catch up! So, what'd I miss? Sounds like the wagon is practically empty!

HN are your circle temps because you got up earlier than you normally do? If so, I think I woudl agree with FF.

Starshinetiger · 11/06/2008 15:41

Sorry - emoticon overload !
