Thought I'd start another thread as the last one was SO successful but is starting to take a while to load and I keep losing my place in it!

A quick update on my stats - on CD39 of third cycle since getting AF back after DS was born in April 2004 (10.5 months old).

Have endometriosis and PCOS so have decided to let nature take its course over the next few months and if I fall pg naturally, then so be it. If I don't, then we'll try clomid again (worked first time for us with DS).

Am still breastfeeding, so have erratic cycles - they were always long (so far have had AF visit twice and had 50 and 42-day cycles).

No idea when I ov - may try OPK's next month if no success this month (and don't think I am pg atm).

Think that's it!

Lots and lots of babydust to all the ttcers and lots and lots of babyglue to those who've just had BFPs (and more congrats!). xxx

Fresco, they just die because of the inhospitable nature of the vaginal Ph balance when it's not ov time. Not sure where they go when they die though (dis-charge I guess Ha ha ).
Going home to await my AF. Bad cramps for a week now, but at least I can start my persona then.
LOL pop re: boobs - did you have to 'follow through'?? (iykwim!!)

BTW anyone who is dying to know how my exciting chinese movie was last night will be pleased to hear it was actually fabulous!! It was very girl power-y, the woman was a better fighter than the men and kicked their ass repeatedly. She ended up defeating the big tribe of horrible, male bandits leaving one of them castrated as well. I tell you it was fun for all the family!! Can I just add that I have no wish to harm men or their genitalia in any way, the men in the movie were horrible and kidnapped a woman against her will and were going to rape her. Just thought I'd point that out!!

popadopalis · 07/03/2005 16:05

Good question Fresco. I asked the same thing to my friend who told me that they die and get disposed of in the vaginal discharge (Uh I hate that expression!It sounds so disgusting and unlady-like!) I don't know if this is true or not. Maybe they get absorbed? Or maybe they just set up home and live a pleasant life in a warm climate!! Hahahaha!! Sorry that's gross.

popadopalis · 07/03/2005 15:58

Diege - thanks for the good luck! I need it. I too am sick of my mind and it's tricks. Any little thing and I think "Ooh maybe just maybe" even had Dh checking my boobs last night to see if they were any different/bigger/whatever! He had fun, I got pissed off!!!

Cp3 - Let me know what you do about testing. I haven't had any cramps or anything which I usually get but no other signs of pg or Af for that matter. Oh I HATE waiting and the probablility is that I'll come on and suffer for days.

Piffle - Poor you. It's so frustrating isn't it? You can't be happy or upset or anything it's just so bloody frustrating. I feel for you hon.

fresco · 07/03/2005 15:53

hi girls

got a stupid question for yous.well , i think its a stupid question but i dont know the answer.
after sex, and that is when we dont ov,what happens to the sperms.well they dont need to meet any egg and conceive, but what happens to them?where do they go? i probably need some 'back to school sexual education'.hehe.anyone knows the answer?
CD10 and feeling preov cramps.bedded every night so far.expecting to ov around fri-mon

popadopalis · 07/03/2005 15:51

Hey and howdy everyone!!

Cp3- I'm going to hold out to see if Af comes. I'm tempted to try and test but it'll only be really depressing when it's BPN so I'm holding onto my dream for at least another day if not longer. If I haven't come on by Sunday then I'll consider testing!

cp3 · 07/03/2005 14:50

How bloody frustrating Piffle. At least if i dont test then i still have a little ray of hope if you see what i mean. I have been in your posotion so many times and im determined not to go there this month. How do you feel in yourself?

piffle · 07/03/2005 14:35

Still no AF now 5 days on! Still neg testing tho' have tried predictor and boots own
So frustrated!!!

cp3 · 07/03/2005 14:20

Thanks Diege!!! I havnt left the house yet as i know i will be straight round the chemist to waste my money.

Diege · 07/03/2005 10:23

Test today CP3!!
Have bought Persona, so just waiting for AF to arrive. Bought it off web at 5.15 pm on Friady, and it arrived 8am Saturday !! Wow! Expecting Af any day (didn't Ov so know I'm not pregnant, but even with this knowledge still thinking, well, maybe the OPK were wrong (yeah right..). Don't you get sick of your own mind sometimes!
Congrats to hellcat , and good luck to pop and Cp3!!!

cp3 · 07/03/2005 08:31

Pop will you hold out till af comes or will you test. Im so tempted to test today?

popadopalis · 06/03/2005 21:11

Right I've given in and I'm off to watch the girl power, subtitled, kick ass movie with Dh. He's happy! Speak later.

Baby dust, lots and lots of baby dust.

It's the one thing that I will miss when I'm pregnant. Not that I'm a raving alcoholic or anything!! Dh has cut down on his drinking to help his wee swimmers not that he drinks a lot but if he goes out with his mates he won't get completely wasted. This obvioulsy has the added benefit of him not coming home drunk, stinking of booze and wanting some in a drunken, letchy, get-off-of-me way!! Not one for drunken bd I have to say!!

katierocket · 06/03/2005 20:53

started going to an acupuncturist. He said DP and I had to give up drinking for 3 months!! apparently it increases your chances by 20%. That was 2 weeks ago and I've drunk one night (was a 40th birthday) but going to try and stop now.Don't think DP wil be able to stop completely. LOL about thinking "bugger what a waste of a friday night".

popadopalis · 06/03/2005 20:49

Munzie - I know what you mean about drinking. Every month I stop drinking when I ovulate and until horrid Af comes and then I think, "What a waste of Friday nights without a drink!". The worst one was New years Eve. I didn't drink much, only had one glass of wine but I knew Af was coming but didn't want to chance it so I was really good. All New Years Day too and then about 8.30pm New Years Day I came on. Little buggar that Af is. First thing I did was get a baileys though!!

katierocket - Af is a b*h! That's all I can say about her really. She's horrid, painful and I get the worst PMS which doesn't help when I have to be all understanding to my vulnerable clients at work and they're being all teenage and moaning about really stupid things and all I want to do say is "Well at least your bloody pregnant!". Not so great for them I guess. Hope you get your wish this month.

Cp3 - I am exactly the same, due on Tuesday, PMS, sick with gorging on chocolate. I know how you feel. It really sucks.

Dh wants me to watch a old subtitled chinese film with him. He's trying to convince me by telling me it's about girl power!! He's getting too clever now that he knows me!!Bless him and hi little martial arts films. He's such a sweetie, he's giggling away to himself watching his film (another chinese one, not the one he wants me to watch. No he's keeping that treat for me. Woo Hoo!!) Sorry sarcasm!!

munnzieb · 06/03/2005 20:27

evening girls, pop ((hugs)) don't u just hate AF the little madam! if she comes tell her in no uncertain terms u don't wanna see her again for the next 9 months - at least! lol.

Had a cuppa with my friend today, am feeling a bit weird about the exp as we're both trying and she has the PCOS she said If I was to get PG first she wouldn't know if/how she would cope with it. I'd hate for it to ruien our friendship as we've been mates for a few years, but on the other hand, if the boot was on the other foot and they got PG first, yeah i'd be a bit miffed/ gutted but on the same notion i'd be happy for them and supportive, if that makes sence. so now I don't know what to think, still not to worry about it, it's at least 6 weeks off (sorry 5 now! lol) end of another week for us!

I'm hoping for a baby pop - althou I'm hoping we won't manage it in april, (I know it sounds bad) but well we have a tonne of partys to go to! - and I wanna have a good olde drink! lol.

cp3 · 06/03/2005 20:23

Evening all. Im not staying, too knackered. Just wanted to see how all were doing. Af is due on Tuesday i think but cant be sure cos i have trouble in that department as in i bled the whole of January, so who knows. Could be Pg but i very much doubt it as i have serious pmt and a great need to eat chocolate(loads of it).

I was sick last night but that was because i ate too much chinese.

Anyway hope you all had a lovely Mothers day as i did. Take care, baby dust and love to all.

(see im all sentimental too )

Hulababy · 06/03/2005 20:06

Good luck piffle.

Had a good weekend, but been dirnking loads this week. Next weekend is about OV time, so both me and DH need to stay off the drinking this week I think!

katierocket · 06/03/2005 19:57

piffle - good luck x

pop - AF sucks doesn't it; it's torture that week before when you think/know it's coming and you just want to get it over with.

CD13 (of 28 day cycle) here. DOn't think we've really BDed enough but we'll see. Been TTC 9 months now so getting v fed up with it all.

good luck ladies

popadopalis · 06/03/2005 19:51

Cp3 - When are you due? Do you think you might be pg? Hope you get a BFP this month.

Munzie - to hear Dh has been depressed. I'm sure you'll cheer him up once he gets home. to hear about you getting lots of presents. Hope one of them is a baby!!

Piffle - Hope you get a BFP when you test next.

Baby dust to us all!

popadopalis · 06/03/2005 19:42

Hello everyone! CD32 now, due on Tuesday or possibly Thursday. Don't think I'm pg and have been badly PMS with Dh last couple of days. He's learning to steer clear at these times!

I've had tender boobs and sometimes have felt sicky but never for longer than half an hour. Think Af is definately on her way.

It's not fair, not only do we have to discover that we're not pg again but we have to suffer Af and all she brings with her as well. Sorry, feeling very grumpy today about the whole thing. I've been gorging on chocolate so feel fat and unhealthy to top it off.

piffle · 06/03/2005 13:18

Af was due Thursday and still no sign, tested earlier was negative though so not sure what to think! Both Af's since the ectopic have been as always bang on 29 days as per previous cycle so very curious.
Will test again in 2 days I guess!
Good luck to everyone waiting for AF
xxxxxxxxx

munnzieb · 06/03/2005 09:54

pop - 6 weeks he's off traveling about this weekend, so at least he'll be cheery when we chat on tuesday (he's been v depressed of late and wants to come home) still he's offering to buy me lots of nice pressies so i'm not moaning!

HM - how r u getting on with PCOS? have they offered you any form of medication for it?

HellKat · 06/03/2005 08:35

Thankyou Hunker!
I had endo pretty badly ( have had to have laproscopy and some lazoring). It kicked in big time after having DS no2 (had 2 periods before he was 1 month old!) Dp and I did'nt think we'd conceive as quickly this time but lo and behold we did (still think it's either a miracle or he's just got super sperm!! )
As always throwing the babydust round by the bucketload!!!!!

cp3 · 06/03/2005 08:30

Woke up this morning with tender boobs and i so want it to be cos im pregnant but i know its cos af is due. How is everyone else. Anyones af due this week too?
