Hi girls!!

thanks for the well wishes.. ive got a chest infection but it has really knocked me for six. yesterday i ached everwhere and was having hot sweats feeling a bit better today.

how are you all?

Josie22 · 12/02/2009 18:46

Hello All

Bubblebell - sorry you aren't feeling good and hope you feel better soon.

Lam - I had cramps all last week but nothing since Sunday and I know it sounds silly but I don't feel I could be pregnant. I would love to be wrong though! If AF doesn't show up by Sat then will take hpt then at least if its negative I can have some wine on Valentine's day (teeny weeny silver lining).

Joy - LOL about the shaving. I'm like that too - even worse when it comes to bikini waxing!

Snow covered babydust to you all!

Yes Joy I agree, it is the worst part of the month. You're feeling pis*ed off with AF and have to wait until you can do anything productive. Wow - only 4 days without shaving your legs?! I hardly do mine once I've ovulated!
Sorry you are feeling rubbish, bluebell. Is it flu-ey type symptoms or something else? Try and wrap up warm and hide from the snow... I am looking outside and it is coming down pretty fast now, yuck...

Joy27 · 12/02/2009 17:03

Katster, hello! It sounds like you have made all the right decisions and are doing really well. Great news about your LP- and who knows? Maybe a BFP in a few days time!
Yes, I am gearing up for the BD fest. Always feel really crappy around af time and far from a sensual love beast. But hopefully when I leave AF behind and we have a nice romantic valentine's weekend (er and maybe if I get round to shaving my legs for the first time since af started!) I'll start to feel a little more attractive.

Oh dear bubble, sorry you are feeling rubbish. Are you doing anything to treat yourself and make yourself feel better?

katster37 · 12/02/2009 16:27

Hello ladies!
Sorry I haven't been on for ages. I have just been catching up this afternoon (while supposedly marking endless practice SATs papers!)
Blackcherry wow that is fab news!! Congrats!

Antdamm have you got sorted yet? Or invited your DP's sisters to stay?! Hope you're OK

Joy - are you looking forward to the BD-ing fest?

And a big wave to everyone else!

I am feeling a bit better, emotionally, although still a bit up and down. The CBT seems really good although only had 2 sessions so far.
I am on CD31 today, and usually only 27 day cycle which is bizarre. I am fairly sure I OV-ed on CD20 (according to FF and temps) so I think anxiety delayed it. The good thing is I have exceeded my usually short luteal phase. I have been madly testing, using the ultra sensitive ones, but always BFNs.... So am pretty much resigned to fact that AF will be here soon. But I am just pleased that my luteal phase is a bit longer which is hopefully good for the future. Just adding myself to the list

No news from me. I'm on CD4, possibly the most tedious time of the month...

amyboo · 12/02/2009 11:27

I completely agree that TTC is a big waiting game... OV I think was Tuesday, so have bd'd every day since Saturday. Can't stand the waiting. Another 12 days before I'll know anything. Argh I'm so impatient!

Josie22 · 12/02/2009 11:21

Well I hope it works for brothers too as I was ovulating (I think!) when dh bro was staying so we had to do some very quiet bd!!

AF due today - no sign yet but my cycle isn't regular...TTC is like one big waiting game.

Bubblebell - any news on AF for you. Fingers crossed.

Blackcherry - that is such great news! Hope it all goes well.

Any news from anyone else?

Joy27 · 11/02/2009 16:20

Maybe it's all the female hormones in the air!

Antdamm · 11/02/2009 15:56

I tend to agree with you there, when DS was conceived we were living in a flat with DP's 2 sisters.

I think I might them over to stay for a while in Ireland.............

Once I get sorted that is.

Joy27 · 11/02/2009 15:42

Maybe sisters are a good luck charm then

oneyummymummy · 11/02/2009 13:59

Im probably goning to 'out' myself now.....but DD was concieved whilst my DP's sister was lodging with us!ha!

Joy27 · 11/02/2009 13:31

yummy, we own the house. DP's sister is just lodging with us for a few months until summer (I've been a bit elusive about who the "housemate" is thus far, worrying that I could be recognised in RL. But sod it). I think it's the fact that it's his sister on the other side of the wall that squeebs him out! But, you know, needs must and all that!

Blackcherry, a thousand hurrahs, again. How nice to read some positive pregnancy news.

BlackCherry · 11/02/2009 11:50

Thanks ladies. I'm so excited but have calmed down from yesterday. Made a gp appointment for next week (I'm in Scotland) and it's really sinking in that I am pregnant. My body is certainly telling me I'm pregnant too which is wonderful and reassuring.
Joy, I remember you saying that about a christmas baby and i really hope it comes true. Bubblebell, i hope af arrives soon, or you get a nice surprise, good luck!

bubblebell1 · 11/02/2009 09:16

Morning girls!

hope your all well. joy thats good news. i hope this is your lucky cycle.

no news from me.. still waiting for AF hopefully something will happen soon.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

oneyummymummy · 11/02/2009 09:03

joy are you flatsharing? Sorry, I should keep up...I know you said there was someone next door to you.

Could you not move out and start renting your own place, that way you will have the place to yourselves and enough room when DC does arrive Please ignore me if I am talking rubbish!

oneyummymummy · 11/02/2009 09:00

Hello to amy joy sorry to hear about AF arriving, I hope you are feeling a little better today!

ant 50EURO?? Thats daylight robbery! 190EURO Im speechless.....

josie good luck

blackcherry yeah, think doc will refer you to midwife, Im sure about the exact procedure, as with my DD they thought it was an eptopic, so I had 3 scans one at 4weeks,5weeks and 6 weeks, then again at 12weeks. I didnt get to see a midwife untill I was about 18weeks for my booking appointment!

Joy27 · 11/02/2009 08:58

Congratulations Blackcherry, what wonderful news!

Bubble thanks for your kind advice. I think we're just going to have to get over the housemate issue and perhaps move off the very squeaky bed . My partner is quite determined to succeed this month, so I think we're just going to go for it! If only we could all go on holiday around ov time.

You know, when this thread first started I said I had a feeling I would have a Christmas baby. Let's hope it was a premonition and I'll be lucky this cycle or next.

What news from anybody?

lam81 · 10/02/2009 22:17

congrats blackcherry!!! we needed a bfp on this thread,mhy next step would be make an apt with gp who will refer you to midwife and they will deal with most of ur care from there,thats how things work where i am anyway,goodluck and enjoy!!

bubblebell1 · 10/02/2009 15:43

congratulations Blackcherry

BlackCherry · 10/02/2009 14:56

Thanks yummymummy, Yes last af started on 12th Jan... so I think that means I'm 4 weeks. Af only 2 days late. x

oneyummymummy · 10/02/2009 14:49

I have to catch up on rest of thread tonight.....

oneyummymummy · 10/02/2009 14:48

Congratulations blackcherry

Do you know when last af was/how many weeks you are?

If not then pop along to dr and they can send you for early scan.
