Hello everyone

I've been lurking so far but I'm in month 1 of TTC #1 and wondered if I could join in with you all?

I'm on CD22 and supposedly 7 DPO. AF would be due I guess anywhere between CD29 and CD 33 (as I said in this post, things are slowly getting back into a pattern after being on the pill!)

I have felt a bit odd this cycle since 3 DPO - nausea, metallic taste, and achey and under the weather - basically I've felt like I normally feel when AF is just about to arrive (though never get the nausea and funny taste with AF!) However this is v likely to be psychosomatic as I'm so excited about the whole thing!

Anyway nice to meet you all and good luck everyone,

Bumps x

MAF that one was actually used by my mate last year!!! Three of us met up for lunch in York last July, we ordered wine but one friend just said she'd have OJ saying that she was on antibiotics - I never thought another thing of it. Then in September we get a mail announcing her good news!! I asked if she knew when we met up and she said she'd found out the day before. She now has a beautiful DD

makingafamily · 09/09/2008 09:16

Morning Ladies

BSL everything crossed for DH's swimmers

Fairy thats pants about AF but as Saz said its good to hear you so upbeat. I think the first cycles a funny one and a bit of a learning curve, i know it has been for us

Saz "I'm on antibiotics is a good one"?

Anyone heard from Eth?

saz007 · 09/09/2008 08:43

Good morning ladies. The rain hasn't arrived yet - hurrah!!!

Fingers and everything crossed that it all goes well for you and DH BSL and that the wait is a short one!! You totally deserved that glass (or two) of vino last night

Oh Fairywing that AF turned up, but that you seem to be upbeat

MAF you're a list demon!

Summerbird you party animal!! You sounded like you had a top night, good on you!

I'm meeting up with two uni mates next week for a night out, haven't mentioned that we're TTC - could be interesting!!

fairywing · 09/09/2008 07:41

AF arrived this morning . Feel better than i thought about it. Next month would be nice, then i can tell everyone in their christmas cards by signing then from mr & mrs fairywing and baby fairywing!

I've updated me on the list...

BSL you soooooo deserve that glass of vino, hang on in there girl, and i am sending you good vibes for a clean bill of health for your DH's little wrigglers

///////////////

MAF i rocked it out on Sat, it was my friends DP's 48th birthday, not the usual excuse for a large significant birthday party but i have to add that they had just got a new kitchen extension built therefore the party was really to show off their newly decorated home!! anyway summerbird and her equally bonkers mates partied on till 4am, i am truly a party animal (tho not that much as i am still knackered!!) well done on updating our list and STEP AWAY FROM THE PEE STICKS

i am feeling a bit nauseous tonight and am trying to stop convincing myself i conceived last night (i havent even OVd yet!!). i am crazy

crunchynutter · 08/09/2008 20:41

BSLI have my fingers crossed everything is ok. It is good that you will have the results quickly. Waiting is a nightmare.

at my question marks on the all important list! I am crap LOL I have been working really hard now Im back at work though. It really is helping to keep my mind of lack if cycles and cute babies! I hope all you other ladies are ok anyway.

Crunchy xx

bluestarlavender · 08/09/2008 20:25

Hi guys,

I just wanted to keep you posted on what's going on in the Bluestar camp. We just got back from the GP...DH has to do a sperm test. So we got all the forms and pots and stuff. Although we want the results asap, you have to abstain from BDing for 48 hours. I suspect I'm going to OV any day now (despite FF saying I Ov'ed on CD9 - what nonsense ), so we are going to wait til next week to do the sample. We should get the results back in a few days, so at least we'll know quickly!

It was weird because the GP didn't know anything at all really and we have to go back to get info on the increased risk of testicular cancer etc! She was on the internet getting info (just like me really!).

Anyhow, we're are just keeping our fingers crossed that it's a normal or on-the-low-side count...at least then there's hope. Some people who have this have no sperm at all!

I will do a proper catch soon...promise!!

FYI - I'm a bad TTCer too, I have a nice glass of wine in front of me now!!

Big waves to everyone,

Ooh eth how are you getting on?? Your cycle is looking promising!!

I am really tired tonight too much bding over the weekend i think

But no rest for the wicked am going to make an effort to BD tonight just to make sure!!

Hope everyone is well xx

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 19:16

Ok ladies, Its official, TTC has turned me mad! I've just spent the last 30 mins going through and updating our CD dates and then the icing on the cake is i've put them in order In my defence DP is on lates at work and i needed to do something to stop me peeing on sticks

If i've got it wrong please change it

hahahaha summer Sounds like you had a great night Good for you. I think we should start a thread called the TTC'er Drunken Lushes? :O Although as a Social Worker maybe thats not such a good idea

summerbird · 08/09/2008 14:03

if you had seen me on Saturday night/Sunday morning you would agree that i can join the drunken lush gang

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:59

I'm a bad TTC'er i've still been having a few glasses of vino and unlike Saz i am a drunken lush

saz007 · 08/09/2008 13:43

LOL *MAF

Thanks Summer but there's no need to worry this month, I won't be peeing on any sticks until Saturday (AF is due Wednesday). I got one of those free tests from MN too, but I dont want to waste use that one yet

Plus I thought if I tested Saturday, it could let me know whether or not I could have a glass (or two) of wine on Saturday night....not that I'm a drunken lush or anything

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:30

Sorry that should have read Saz not Fairy See my brains mushed another symptom lol

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:28

Fairy I cant help being an obsessed symptom spotter. Although its more fun than stressful at the moment and as i'm only 4/5 days PO. When you thinking of testing?

Morning Vix. WOOHOO on the and the BD'ing. Fingers crossed this is your month for a BFP.

Well i think i might test again on Thursday with a first response. Current symptoms are very odd stomach twinges on saturday and sunday with a dull ache in my lower back although as DP pointed out that could be from sitting around on my ass all weekend. Slightly bloated today and breats a bit tender if i poke them lol

Although i'm sure at the moment if someone told me your hair turning green wasa symptom of PG i'm manage to find a few lol
