Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

spub - afraid you can have AF without OV. Maybe you're just OVing a bit later than you thought.

spub · 16/08/2005 08:35

Lunarsea - great news re the new GP. Hope this is the start of something fab for you!
Hope you're all hanging in there and resisting those early tests!!
I was sure I ovulate tomorrow (based on my dates) but no smiley face in my clearblue OPK today. Any ideas? Should I be worried? and, perhaps the most stupid question of all- if I'm having AF's does that mean that I must be ovulating???

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 15/08/2005 21:39

I am just spreading myself about a bit and hopefully bringing more luck

HumphreysCorner · 15/08/2005 20:49

Hmmmm-I see we have some of you defecting to the 'other' thread. Do we smell?

HumphreysCorner · 15/08/2005 20:42

Evening ladies

Busy day at work today but a lovely old customer bought me some flowers for being nice to him-bless! Temporarily took me away from my obsession with testing.

wishingchair-my day 28 is also Thursday so that is the day AF is due. I have done that many -ive tests this last week and thinking that maybe it is just too early to test and that I must have ovulated late-no chance. AF will arrive on Thursday I'm sure. I refuse to buy any more tests and next month use the few I have left a couple of days before.

Sooo-Diddle,petunia and wishingchair-one of us four has to get a BFP (which won't be me but will increase the odds for me next month)

LunarSea-Brilliant news on the GP front-v.difficult getting into a new practice.

My new week's resolution then is to not obsess about peeing on sticks!

Bye for now and love and hugs to everyone.

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 15/08/2005 20:09

Great news lunarsea.Your on your way!!!

strike1 · 15/08/2005 20:08

Excellent news Lunasea! Hopefully now you can get somebody to listen.

petunia · 15/08/2005 19:56

Good for you LunarSea, I was wondering today how you were getting on. You're right- they can't be any worse!

LunarSea · 15/08/2005 19:48

Hi all. Well a bit of positive news today - have finally managed to get another GP practice to take us on. No idea what they'll be like, but they can't be any worse. Now just need to wait for a couple of weeks until the paperwork is done, and hopefully we'll get some more postive response from them.

petunia · 15/08/2005 17:09

Afternoon all,
Still resisting doing a test but not doing very well! I've had one of those afternoons with all these thoughts going round and round in my head. The thing is yesterday I felt awful and sickly but today, and probably because I had a reasonable nights sleep, I don't feel so bad. Keep thinking I'm now imagining all these "symptoms" that I've had except I've still got the aching boobs and don't really feel pre-menstrual. And with every ache and pain, I seem to think my AF's arriving. I can see me getting to tomorrow afternoon and doing a test just because I need to do something!

wishingchair · 15/08/2005 16:59

nic I'm the same as you. Last month I started to think I was pg (feeling dizzy, etc) so tested, was -ve, then allowed the thought to creep in ... "but it is still early so maybe ...".

Not doing it this month.

If I count the first day of last period as day 1, then I'm on day 26. If it doesn't arrive then I'm going to wait till Thursday. Or maybe Wed.

nicmum2boys - you and me are due the same day.
Still got discharge, its very weird, not really browny anymore, much lighter, maybe even a bit pink. But its like normal discharge, but a bit thicker and pinky. not much of it though, not even enough to wear a pad. who knows whats happening, trying to ignore it and not get my hopes up. Thank you for asking.

nicmum2boys · 15/08/2005 16:39

I'm due 26th August, so another end of the monther here, at least 26th will make me 14dpo, although going on previous months AF will have arrived long before then, so I'll just be pleased if I get that far . At the moment I don't have any pg tests, and am planning not to buy any until at least 13dpo........... yeah right!! Will try and hold out as long as humanly possible though, can't handle all this testing too early, getting a neg and convincing myself it's just cos I tested too soon. Anyway, last time I got an early +ve I had a mc, so I know it's silly, but I just don't want to jinx myself. Also decided not to buy cheap ebay tests, as the fact they are so cheap just encourages me to test all the more, and get even more neurotic about it all lol.

Diddle, how are you doing, any more bleeding??

strike1 · 15/08/2005 16:28

So everyone's testing at the end of the month! Looks like I'll be playing catch up in mid Sept then. That will be a fantastic birthday present. I remember you mentioned it before, sorry I keep forgeting whose testing when . I can test a few days after my second wedding anniversary, so hopefully we can mark the occasion with dreams of a new addition by our third year!

spub · 15/08/2005 15:06

Strike - If I'm correct then I ovulate on Weds (bought the clearblue digital opk test to double check!) so I'm fertile (allegedly) at the moment tho no smiley face yet!
AF is due on Aug 31st (my 35th birthday)....

strike1 · 15/08/2005 15:01

I'm looking forward to the excitment at the end of this month. I'm like you Spub, in Bding mode right now. AF not due till around the 9th Sept (if my cycle really is 35 days) But it's good to have so much testing going on to keep my mind off it all in the weeks before. Still got my fingers crossed for you Diddle, Petunia, wishingchair and now you too Cori! How long have you got to wait Spub?

My DH calls you my gang as well! I think he feels a bit left out sometimes and asks how everyone's doing.....bless

spub · 15/08/2005 14:46

Oh God, Strike and Cori an emotional end to the month then!!
I'm actually away on holiday (if "holiday" is the correct euphemism for touring around dh's family "dawn sarf") from Mon 22nd Aug til Thurs 1 September. Am trying to figure out which rellies have got web access so I can check in with you all (dh calls you my "homies" )

cori · 15/08/2005 14:20

I am due on the 25th. Will test before though.

Diddle · 15/08/2005 14:09

mines due the 26th Aug. which is actually sooner than I thought, Oh my god, must stay calm. Not sure if i have any tests left anyway. can't fnd them in my cupboard, if i chekc now though i'll go buy more, so better not check, then i can't be tempted. Thats the plan anyway.

OP posts:
spub · 15/08/2005 13:36

Yup. Diddle, you have it exactly right - rational calm behaviour followed by mental obsessive sniffing of things, squeezing of boobs and early testing!!!

We must have AF due very close to one another. My AF due 31 Aug. When's yours?

Diddle · 15/08/2005 13:33

I always find that up until a week before AF I dont feel too desperate about getting pg, but then as soon as it starts getting close, I get very obsessed and can't get it out of my head. Luckily I am still 2 wks away from AF, so quite calm today.

OP posts:
spub · 15/08/2005 13:27

Hi guys,
Fingers crossed for the testing!
I'm in bd mode at present. AF due on my birthday at the end of the month so hoping for the best present ever! (BFP...)
Off to acupuncture again tonight. It may also be helping me to chill out a bit, Cori. I feel slightly less hysterically desperate to be pregnant....

cori · 15/08/2005 13:20

Hi everyone.
Havent been around for a while. AM playing the waiting game again too. I feel quietly confident this month, I dont know why. I didnt temp or even do OPKs properly this month. Just knew was about to ov because of CM and the usual dates. Maybe it is the acupuncture helping me not too worry. Af is due next Thursday. Will probably test on Friday this week as I have party to go to Friday night
How is everyone doing?.
