OMG, yes seany id love yuo join...it would me by pleasure...maybe will get lucky and find out were like 9 weeks pregnant this month because of the weird AF we had last month...that would be fabulous..let me calm down...my bb's are hurting driving me crazy

seanybosmummy · 06/05/2009 13:24

hi girls,

bubble what cycle is this for you? do you get your blood test results soon?

Rtuff good luck on the deanna plan. I dont use opks so i am just going for every other day up until af arrives (have no idea when i ovulate so i figured every other day is a good plan! ) Ill be bloody tired though by the end of the month lol

whitty im the same, i think i ov early-hope this is your month I wouldnt trust the opks either, i used them once a few months ago and didnt get my smiley face so i ditched them. Me and bubble have started a hate campaign against them-wanna join?

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Hey all, well my temperature is up 2 degress past my coverline, and im getting the eggwhite cm I wouldnt be able to even say if my cycle is short or not because its been so irregular. I do honestly believe Im bout to ovulate because im feel funny pains in like my ovaries. I have never used an opk because I was told sometimes they can be wrong.

bubble try to cheer up, Ive been told when you stop trying and just enjoy you and your mates company thats when it happens. I feel where your coming from I see so many people who dont look right have kids or look capable to be good Mums and I get mad because Im capable and would be great at it.

Bubblebell1 · 06/05/2009 10:25

Good luck Rtuff, i have attempted the deanna plan a few times but always end up missing days. I hope this is your month

well af is due monday... but i dont think i ovd this month. im hoping af shows up on time so i can get started with the next cycle. I had a scan on day 15 and sonographer said she thought she could see a collapsed follicle but i didnt get a + opk or a temp shift so who knows . i had a day 21 test taken on sat so i will be able to confirm if i ovd or not. Just feels like i will never get pg

Rtuff · 06/05/2009 09:36

Hi Bubble

I'm fine still waiting for ovulation but have decided to go with the Deana plan this month so bd marathon has started already on day 8, day10 and day 12 so far, plus i'm using agnus castus so fingers crossed for this month....

How's you 2ww going?

Bubblebell1 · 06/05/2009 08:59

Hi girls!

How are you all this morning?

Rtuff good luck for your up coming bd marathon

Seany and Ant hows u?

Whitty It is very unusual to ov so close to af. there needs to be time for hormones to build up etc. if you have a short cycle say 25 days then you could ov earlier than day 14. Are you using opks? Temping? checking cervix position? AFAIK egg white cm is what happens around ov not the creamy stuff. The best thing if you dont use any methods to track ovulation is to just get busy every other day for the 2wks in the middle of your cycle.

whittywantababy6 · 05/05/2009 12:54

Hey all I have a question is it possible to ovulate direcely after af, Im having the since yester day milky cm they consider to be fertile, and my fiance is gone for 3 days, only good thing is saturday we did the baby dance twice without even doing it because I was ovulating. So is it possible? That could be the reason why because I dont think I normally do that.

Rtuff · 05/05/2009 08:39

Morning Everyone,

Just thought i'd pop in, not much to report unfortunately, ovulation should be happening soon...hopefully!!.... so onwards and upwards.

Sorry to her your news mumof, i can't even begin to imagine how hard it is...

I hope everyone is okay, apart from the obvious stress, confusion etc etc that comes along with all this TTC business, why is it so difficult!!

Bubblebell1 · 05/05/2009 07:35

Morning Girls!

how are you today Mum? Seany that is nice too... May have to take a trip to the supermarket and get 1 of each. [greedy emotion] im getting cramps now and yesterday i felt really pre menstral.
pls pls pls keep your fingers crossed that even if i didnt ov this cycle AF wont disappear again.

Ive had a busy bank holiday weekend so today i am hoping to just stay home and chill. (After my trip to the supermarket )

DH has been in a wierd mood since he got back from work yesterday.. dont know whats bugging him will have to find out.

seanybosmummy · 04/05/2009 23:28

MumOfBaby · 04/05/2009 18:49

Aw thanks Seany- it's lovely that someone was concerned enough to leave me a msg. I'm really down today and every tiny thing is bugging me. Keep thinking about what could have been. Magnum icecreams and biscuits are helping a little

Seany and Bubble- going through same thing at mo. SIL has started trying for a baby and she knows about the MC so I sort of feel like it's a race. It's just the way of the world though isn't it. My sister was horrible to me when I got preg last time and she was TTC. So I wouldn't be like that with SIL because I've had it done to me. Plus I'd love a lil niece or nephew to fuss over

Come on us, we can do it this month.

Aparently there's 20-25% chance of us concieving each month, and there's 80% chance in a year- those are good odds!

Bubblebell1 · 04/05/2009 17:13

Hi girls!

Seany dinner was luvly

I envy your will power i wont last 4 hrs let alone 4wks

I hope that you and Whitty both get lucky this month. Think positive girls. WE CAN DO IT

whittywantababy6 · 04/05/2009 13:17

Hey all, I found a temperature over the weekend it wasnt below my coverline, but this morning it was so i guess that strange af that I got was really af. Im not sure ive been feeling weird so I couldnt even say if Im still having symptoms. seany I think Im going to also wait just so Im not disapointed again id hate to go buy a test and I get a bfn. The only reason im shocked is because my last cycle was cd 33 and it lasted 7 days. This time it was cd 37 and it last 2 days and I normally am a big cramper I didnt cramp at all. And I have cm again plenty of it which i though you were normally dry after AF...sorry to ramble alot going on with me today

seanybosmummy · 04/05/2009 11:35

hi girls,

bubble i hope you enjoyed your dins yesterday.i made 1 too and is was gorge I wish i could like wine,i just cant drink it at all for some strange reason

i've decided not to test after all. if i am pg then i still will be by testing time this month so im just going to wait and see. and then if i do get bfp i could get a wee suprise and find out im4 weeks further on than i thought .

its been pretty quiet in here over the weekend.

whitty did you find that thermometer yet?

ant hows your new house?

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 03/05/2009 13:46

seany I am the same. i feel really jealous of my sil who decided to ttc when i had my mc in feb and fell that same month!! On the same token i am pleased for her. i know how special your PFB is and this will be hers!

My sis and DN are here for dinner today. Roast beef with all the trimmings We are drinking wine and the boys are on the trampoline

My GP told me that a CP is a MC its just not been verrified by a scan.. (no scientific proof that conception occured other than the +ive hpt)

I am hoping that your test tomorrow is a bfp. that would be such good news.

have a great weekend. i hope the rain stays away

seanybosmummy · 03/05/2009 13:26

Oh yeah def, you hit the nail on the head there bubble. With ds i wasnt monitoring cycles at all and didnt have any idea when afs were due or anything-so ignorance is def bliss.

I didnt think it was going to be this hard or stressful. I am so envious of women who manage to conceive on first cycle . That sounds awful of me but of course its only natural. But i am glad that alot of women dont have to suffer the disappointment every month, so im really not all made up of the green eyed monster

poor ds1, that sounds so painful, the poor child-glad hes feeling a bit better. Have you any plans for today? We were going to take ds to the park for a picnic but it looks like its gonna rain so we've changed our minds.

I think i might buy a cheapie test tomorrow just to put my mind at ease. i'll let you know how it goes. I dont think it will be bfp at all but id rather just rule it out and as you say put it down to change in cycle because of cp or early mc or whatever it was that happened to me last month (i'll never have a proper answer to that so i'd rather say it was a cp, as mc is just too heartbreaking)

Hope the rest of you girls are enjoying the long weekend.

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 03/05/2009 08:47

If i were you and af was completely different i would test.. at least then you know either way and you can put the cycle change down to you CP last month.

TTC is shite isnt it. For years you have the same predictable cycles and the minute you decide you want a baby it all goes up the spout.

DS1 is feeling much better thanks. He is prone to ear infections and his ear drum has burst 3 times before. Just glad it didnt get that bad this time.

seanybosmummy · 02/05/2009 20:23

Thanks Bubble, i tested with a cheapie test (on day 27 or so i think)but bfn. I had 5 days of spotting, 2 days of lighter af than normal, then disappeared for a day, then 1 more day of spotting, so there was a lot going on. It was the weirdest af in history, but i never had any cramps like i usually do, and the blood didnt start and taper off brown as it usually does either. Do you think i should get a test just incase?

I am prob just coming down with a bug cause i have been really tired and that would explain why ive been feeling so sick.

Hope ds is feeling better the poor wee man, ear infections are nasty
