Right, Sabs, I am going with the 'legs in the air' thing this month! Although naughty DH is skiing from CD11 - 17 but hopefully I haven't been Ov-ing until CD17-18 so we might (fingers crossed) catch the egg... You seem to have quite a few symptoms too - how exciting! (sorry, I know it sounds insane, but I think I would actually feel reassured by symptoms IYSWIM)
Welcome, lam81! Sorry to hear about your mc. Was it this Dec? Are you feeling OK now? I will add you to the list...

Hi everyone can i join please,i'm 27 have a dd 2.5 years, so ttc#2 cycle 3 cd 16,(had a mc in dec) im rubbish with this stuff so could someone please add me to list?? thank u xx

Sabs1981 · 16/01/2009 10:55

thanxs bubblebell and katser

no worries about the questions...im the same!!

Things that i did, now dont laugh, especially as ive read that it doesnt work, but i always used to keep my legs up in the air after the deed! Also, i know people say you shouldnt BD every day but we did from 2 days before i was due to ovulate and every day for a whole week....

symptoms right now include having to wee lots, feeling very sleepy and tired, and the start of increased sense of smell and nausea...

hope that helps!

katster37 · 16/01/2009 10:43

Congrats, Sabs! That is so exciting! What are your tips, then?! Also, can I be really nosey and ask what your symptoms are?! Sorry, I am clearly obsessed...

Angel, I think it's perfectly normal - I am exactly the same, hence my purchase yesterday of 50 (!) early detection pg tests from some website! (DH actually asked me last night if I was planning on setting up some kind of fertility hospital in our spare room....

I think this should be right now, feel free to change if I've missed anything off:

morning ladies, yay its friday! Any plans for the weekend? wow, this thread moves so fast, I can't keep up but good to see lots of people have joined...

can I be very selfish and post a very "me, me, me" post? Looks like we may have our first BFP!

I got sent home early from jury service yesterday , and I couldnt help myself, I went to the chemist and brought a clearblue digital test, which you can test 4 days early. My AF not due until sat 17th jan...and it was POSITIVE! a few hours later tried again using first response and that was positive too! Apart from DH, MN's are the first to know! I feel so scared and worried that it will all end in pain again. Will book myself in to see my GP next week and to the EPAU for a 7 week scan as they told me I could following my miscarriage....

so can i update the list??

I'm on CD24, ttc#1,cycle1 & having symptoms.

What is wrong with me? It's not time yet - Stop testing!!
LOL.

bubblebell1 · 16/01/2009 10:20

o joy could you get him as he leaves and then again as soon as he is back for a few days on the trot... ?

bubblebell1 · 16/01/2009 10:19

only since the beg of this cycle... am on cd13 today. mine beeps when its got a reading. so look then. it was 35.8 then put it striahgt back in and it was 36.2
where did you get your thermometer from?? do u think i should get 1 from a proper fertility place??

Joy27 · 16/01/2009 10:18

Happy friday everybody!

theboob - no worries at all re list!

sammysam, hope you stay af-free all weekend.

Well it's not a very happy Friday for me... it looks like bf has to go away for work until Tuesday. Not only will we miss out on all our weekend plans together (boo), but we will also be apart for CD8-11. I know this doesn't scupper plans entirely, but in months gone by I think I've ov-ed as early as CD8-9, so that would be our chance for this month out the window.

Maybe I'll be aiming for that Christmas baby after all...

katster37 · 16/01/2009 09:53

Morning bluebell and sammysam - yes I am a bit befuddled by the whole temping thing to be honest. I took ait at 6.30am as it says to take it first thing at the same time every day (so there go weekend lie-ins!) and it said 96.5; then I did it again at 8am and it said 98.6... So I have no idea to be honest. I don't know if I took it out too soon the first time, or what.... I will see what it is tomorrow. How long have you done it for bluebell?

sammysam · 16/01/2009 09:12

Oh and I forgot.....have a lovely baby dust filled weekend
Fingers crossed af doesn't start this weekend-or ever then I can test on tues [begging face]

sammysam · 16/01/2009 09:10

Morning! This may be my only chance to look til after the weekend as we are going up to my mums so i'll be very behind on the posts by mon!!
yummymummy I know-it's crazy really. And next month is a no go for me as dp is skiing over ov time so that is one less.....
Oh and my cycles are quite long (30-35 days) so may almost mean I only have 11 a year anyway

kaster Good luck with the temping. I have found it really interesting-and it helps to see that you are actually ovulating
I had trouble this morning though seeing as I can't breathe through my nose

bubblebell1 · 16/01/2009 09:09

kat can i ask you a question re temping... i bought a digital 1 from boots.. same 1 thats in their fertility pack thingy magig. and i take my temp and its extreamly low. so i take it again and its different. its different everytime i take my temp. even if its straight after the time before.. do u think its broken perhaps? or is this normal?

katster37 · 16/01/2009 09:02

yummymummy I thought that the other day - you end up wishing the month away. I am on CD4 now (took my temperature for the first time today on my new thermometer!!) and am already counting down the days to the BD-ing and the end of the wait!

Morning to everyone else!

oneyummymummy · 16/01/2009 08:17

Morning all. so Ive got some crampy pains this morning, maybe AF is on her way! The thing that makes it worse is that when I thought about it I only really have 12 shots at it a YEAR! (obviously this was always the case, but its only just dawned on me)

Sending lots of baby dust to you all.

sammysam · 15/01/2009 21:02

My god-how did i miss that-theboob you are amazing! I have enough trouble with dd and trying to fit stuff in-i've just started my breastfeeding counsellor training-how the hell you do it I dodn't know!!!! Huge respect to you!

bubblebell-the more I think about it the more a bigger gap feel right to me-and i'm with you on the 'please just let me have a baby-whenever!'

Joy-i'm still in the running for giving birth on their wedding day-don't think my sis would ever forgive me but at least i'd never forget their anniversary! Would be a nice story to tell...
I hope you are very pregnant on their wedding day and I have a baby at my sisters....

theboob · 15/01/2009 20:31

sorry joy for knocking you off,dont know how i did that
