Tigger... interested which homeo rems you are taking for your cycle, good that its lengthened!

If i am gonna post some i-p*rn we need to find coded names for items of the body

Will have a look later when i get bored with work

Hello ladies!! After a few weeks' break from mumsnet I am back!! I thought it was making me obsess about ttc but turns out that it's me that's making me obsess!! I wasn't gone for that long but you're on a while new thread with 18 pages already!! Eek! So I haven't been able to read back through properly but:

izzy I'd been using pregnacare too but have been told by a couple of people that they are a bit pants and solgar pre natal is a lot better apparently. So I bought some but then remembered I've got about 18 months supply of pregnacare left from all the buy 2 get 1 free sprees I've been on! Oops!

teacake sorry you're here and that you're not feeling very well :( I hope the dr is helpful today!

nickster haha sausage :) I broke my hisband's sausage again this month!! Oops! He's definitely going off the swi idea these days!!

So after two cycles of 28 days, I'm on day 30 with a host of very convincing symptoms and a negative test this morning. Gaaaaah what is going on??!?!

Oops sorry for double post!

Hello pink nice to have you back! Glad you discovered we're just a symptom of the obsession and not the cause.

Good lord woman what are doing to the poor man that results in such injuries?

nicks if any further mention sausage-porn is made I may have to leave, I'm a lady dontchaknow

Hi tigger - pleased to hear life is less stessful without the pressure . Hopefully the lack of stress will actually help with the bfp too

pinkfondant for the bfn. What sort of test did you use and do you know how many dpo you are? Maybe it's just too early/not sensitive enough? Fx the bfp will come! (and if it doesn't then you're not alone, there are a few mad cycles on here at the minute!)

Mummya Hello lurker. How are you doing? Is it this Thurs your lung specialist appointment? Hope it goes okay and you are feeling alright about everything. I take it still no AF?

Izzy pants about the spotting. Hummph. Not implantation by any chance?

Tunnocks good luck with the doc. I think mine's a bit the same about examining. Maybe I'll ask for a lady doc too.

Hi to Nicks, Velvet, Kat, AandRmum, yrmotb, tiigger and anyone else I've missed.

Ooh, more posts - Hi Ladybee - yep, I'd like to feel the pressure was off too and I know my DH would. Still, I don't think that will actually happen until we have little people. And then I'm lead to believe we'll be lucky to have any sex life left

Welcome back Pink fx it's just a matter of time for the BFP.

PPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

YEAH! your'e back..... WOO HOOOOOOOO!

I too was worried about obsessive behaviour > but then decided it sure beats reality TV and ironing!

fondant (we misssed you) am a fan of solgar, has higher levels of everything you need apparently. Highly recommended by by nutritionist. Sorry for the bloody fucking negative, hoping its too early.

BEE no reference to rudeness will be made in your lady-ships presence...

'Nother couple of shags then thats me on the 2WW i think!

Oi costa rican lurker... hope you are ok toots xx Mamp hope you ok too tooticles :) Waves to YRMOTB, IZZY and everyone else xxxxxx

Mrs pretty hope you are feeling a touch better :)

So where are the fish then?? I think I'm about 10dpo today, but this is my first month using opk's and last two cycles have been 34 days and i'm only on 28 today.... so please someone slap me and tell me it's too early to test! I've sore boobs and the odd cramp, but i've had that every cycle so far...and I promised myself I wouldn't test till AF was late - arrrrggghhh! the 2ww is rubbish!!

Welcome back PFF and tigger, can't remember if you guys left before I first posted but I'd been stalking watching this thread for a while before I actually joined. Fx the test was too early pink...

What have you ladies been talking about?! Broken sausages, dirty stories, I don't know... anyone would think we're obsessing over something

tunnocks and AandR how are you doing lovelies? Been thinking of you both, the early days are the toughest.

mummya how you holding up dearest? Will be thinking of you this week. fx you get some answers bout your lungs... and any news on AF??

waves to everyone else...hope you're having a good week.

On my 2WW and symptom spotting like crazy. Does sneezing mean I'm pregnant? Hmmmmm

has had enough of cheapie opks.... def was something going on over the weekend but the damn things showed nothing... not a sausage! Even the test line was totally faint!

Oh well..... expensive ones here i come!

Think I am going to buy saucy knickers with opk budget in a bid to keep dh's sausage unkinked ... currently keeping him in the dark re cycle in the hope he believes all shags are SFF. Actually I am in the dark re cycle as I am now imagining spotting at all turns and feel like my 21 day clear run to first af is never going to start.

Have no fear wombat SFF post sprogs (and post first 12 couple of sleep deprived months) is just somewhat more efficient!

nick get back to work!

appleblossom small haddock slap - hang in there if you can but all fingers and toes crossed for a bfp

Hola chicas!

Thanks for asking after me, makes me feel all lurverly and warm

For all of you on the 2WW you have my deepest sympathies, its really horrible! I can report though, that when its over sanity returns in a few days later and normal life resumes. (or you get a BFP, dont know what thats like, but we all want it so I am sure its lurverly )

I am taking progesterone at the moment to bring on AF, its a 10 day course and I am five days in so, I will only start stressing about it on day 11 when AF is supposed to (going to!!!) appear.

My appointment with the lung specialist is on Thursday, cant wait actually, so much bloody waiting and wondering has been driving me nuts! I want answers!

Just had some great news that my family are coming out to visit me for Christmas! Yay! and they are bring Christmas crackers and English tea bags!

Nix are you doing those cheapie OPK's twice a day? (first pee in the morning and "saved up" pee in the afternoon) How about getting your hands dirty and have a feel of the old cervix? Might get some extra clues as to whats going on up there.

Also, I think if you want a "code" if its going to be in true MN fashion you should use acronyms! How about:
HF = Hairy Fairy

big hugs for teacake and AandRmum
welcome back Pink
sorry not to name check everyone else, you are all gorgeous!! Mwah!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi mummyabroad good to see you again! >

Hope the progesterone sorts you out and AF finally gets herself over to you in the next few days. Also hope you get the answers you want on Thursday x

well, 24 hours later here and still no proper AF, just same on/off spotting. Humph. wombat I daren't even think about possible IB, since I am convinced I am capable of imagining just about any symptom!! Am sure the OB is going to put in an appearance any day now...

MA cervix was so high yest i was waving out of my mouth but have figured no point using the opks as i cant hold wee in, courtesy of labour, and end up going several times per night... therefore wee is never concentrated enough! drink less, get thirsty, up even more!

(note to everyone... upon arrival of BFP make sure you do your pelvic floors!!)

Then there is no other answer.... temps it is!

A&R you have children, are TTC and you still SFF?!?!?!? and your DH believes you?! Gah...

Go on apples do it do it.... there is a run of P's at the min :)

MA great news on the visitors...put your order in for dairy milk too :)

Still spotting huh IZZ perhaps just struggling to get started this month, or could it be.... dare i say it!??!?!?! IP

LadyB - no great improvement in my desire to DTD although dh is keen as ever. Also since I'm not actually using contraception but trying to mistime SFF/SWOI I have to ignore some of the natural urges which come around the ovulation time. It does make it much less pressured though which is definitely better.

Nickstermum I'm on pulsatilla in the morning and argentum in the evening but everyone is individual when it comes to homeopathy so I'd recommend consulting a homeopath. I did try calling Nelson's first but they refused to diagnose that over the phone. Apparently failure to conceive is not the same as a cough or cold

Welcome to new posters

Hello all you lovely ladies - thank you so much for my heroes welcome, you are all so sweet!! I missed you all!!

Hehe ladybee I seem to have rubbed him raw which is odd because I feel fine! Not sure how that works, we must have incompatible skin..... :-) nickster helllloooooo! Well done for breaking Mr N, you must be taking the SWI seriously!

Hi A&R we haven't 'met' before, sorry you're here :-( Good work keeping DH in the dark about your cycle, once you've told them there's no going back and you run the risk of them getting huffy that you're just using them!!

apple and izzy sounds promising! Everything crossed for you

Hello mummyabroad Christmas sounds great! What about Cadburys? Can you get that there?

teacakes I am about to eat dinner and watch Holby City :-D Tuesday nights are the best for telly

nicksters and anyone else who is an opk fan - what are your thoughts on one of those expensive clear-blue pee on a stick machine thingybobs? I'm thinking that if AF turns up I'm going to invest in one because every time DH gets broken he's out of service for a week at a time so would be good to have a clue what the hell my cycle is doing so I can go easy on him when not a lot is likely to happen. I've been temping this month but it's a bit hit and miss as have only been doing it during the week (I read you have to do it same time every day and there's no way I'm setting a 6:15 alarm at the weekend!!!).

Also, have been reading 'is your body baby friendly' - anyone else read it? It's facinating! Anyway gotta go laptop running out of battery and can't find power lead, maybe back later!!

PFF I have one of those stupidly expensive clearblue peestick machines, courtesy of eBay (brand new although tbh I would have been happy to buy a second hand one) for about £50 inc postage. I'm on second cycle, first was slightly frustrating because I just got loads of highs but no peaks as it "got to know me". This cycle has been more helpful, it has picked up when I ov, which is later than it should be so that's worth knowing. Also it helps with the POAS addiction. Not sure that's a good reason though, probably more a reflection of my own insanity

Arrghhh even DH is encouraging me to POAS but I'm still holding out til Sunday!

Go on velvet....
