Come and join me if you are TTC an August baby [hgrin]

This is my first bus and I think I am being brave in starting the engine.

Had a look at your chart getdown you are right, it is confusing. To me that looks like Ov happened on Thurs and you have had an outlying temp today, I would hope/ expect, that tomorrows temp is higher than Friday's.

GetDownYouWillFall · 20/11/2010 10:33

thanks ravenlocks I hope you're right. Feel a bit fed up at the prospect that I might not have ov'd after all Sad

How are you doing?

ravenlocks · 20/11/2010 10:45

I defo think you have ov'd. Let us know what temp does tomorrow.

I am ok, into 2nd week of 2WW but not holding out much hipe this cycle. I have totally given up on SS as I have had them all in the past with BFNs. I think I am 8DPO but can't be sure as not temping. Feel a bit sick (likely to be last nights' wine and being starving this morning before bfast) and have had AF type cramping on and off all week. What did I say about not SS? Blush

ravenlocks · 20/11/2010 10:46

*hope, not hipe!

GetDownYouWillFall · 20/11/2010 10:57

Oh ravenlocks Sad don't despair I know how disappointing it is to think you have symptoms and then get the BPN. I think it's a good idea to not SS and then risk having your hopes dashed.

However, when I've been pregnant before I definitely had a heavy, crampy feeling like pre-AF in the 2nd week of the 2ww. Also the raging hunger was definitely a feature for me.

Don't want to get your hopes up, but also don't want you to think there is no chance either. There is a chance, but as you say, try not to SS. Are you going to test the day AF is due, or wait it out?

Thanks re. your thoughts on my strange cycle. It's a post-MC cycle so I know anything could happen. It's frustrating that I had all the signs of ov, but still not a definitive answer on the temps. FF says that you can have all the signs of ov. but only a sustained temp shift confirms it happened. Arrgh! Will definitely let you know what temps do tomorrow! Hopefully they will be up!

GetDownYouWillFall · 20/11/2010 10:57

Ooops that second line I meant BFN

100years · 20/11/2010 13:09

Hey all.

Away for the night tonight :)

I fear I am going to be the queen of symptom spotting, even if it gets my hopes up. Weird goings on in my stomach, feeling a bit ick in my stomach and a few mild aches in my (hopeful) future baby home!!!

Must stop this.

Are there any more BFPs on the bus yet?

OP posts:
MrsP81 · 20/11/2010 14:28

getdown I'm on CD15 which to be honest is probably a bit early for an egg for me anyway. I'm just being impatient!!!

Fingers crossed that your temps go up tomorrow.

GetDownYouWillFall · 20/11/2010 15:37

hope you have a lovely night away 100years how exciting!!

I know what you mean about the mild aches - I'm feeling them myself. I wonder if we can cause these psychologically as there's no way if could be symptoms this early, is there? how many DPO are you?

MrsP81 you've got lots of time for that egg to arrive yet, I don't tend to ov. very early in cycle either. Thanks re. my temps. Am really hoping they are up tomorrow.

level · 20/11/2010 16:05

I've booked an appointment with my GP next week. I know this sounds like a strange question, but do I need to ask for DH to come with me, or is he OK to just join in my appointment?

sillybillymummy · 20/11/2010 20:20

Thanks for that getdown and babsH - i have a really accurate ear one.. and it has covers you put over.. so maybe i could start taking temp next month. So .. (more questions..!) does your temp go up 2 days after OV? Have i got that right? I am having trouble keeping up!

level i think he can just come and join in...

level · 21/11/2010 10:26

No need to cancel the GP appointment, AF arrived today.
Fingers crossed for the rest of you and maybe see some of you on the next bus.

ravenlocks · 21/11/2010 12:00

Sorry AF got you level. Good luck at the GP and with the next cycle of TTC. Just take DH along with you, no need to ask in advance or anything. Let us know how you get on.

silly I think it is the day after Ov that temp jumps and then stays up for the most of the rest of LP. I find mine starts to drop 2 days before AF.

Teds77 · 21/11/2010 17:59

Happy Sunday evening ladies Smile

level sorry to see you're hoping off the bus - good luck with the GP.

queenrollo all the best people get married in February Grin hope you're enjoying the planning!

I'm trying not to SS but that's largely because I clearly don't have any. Feeling a bit Sad tonight. Sigh.

BabsH · 21/11/2010 18:32

Evening all folks,

Okay so question for you guys, had a little blood tonight, so given that I have had cramps a few days ago and my boobs are feeling a little heavy how positive does it all sound? I reckon that I have another week till AF is due but I am trying really really hard not to get too excited about things incase that I'm not going to be lucky this month.

Sorry for everyone who is having to get off this bus and join next month's I might be joining you guys soon, but hopefully not!!!

100years · 21/11/2010 18:50

Babs, it's only my first month at this TTC thing, so I'm not really much help with that. Sorry.

I'm ticking off the symptoms one by one, rolls eyes I figure I will allow myself a few months of symptom spotting before I drive myself crazy then I will ignore it, as I don't so far feel all that different to last month, except a little bit worse than I was then. But I could just be more aware of things now, because I'm looking for them!!!

evening girls. I'm puffy eyed and blotchy here after an evening of tears. My old dog passed away this afternoon (it stayed with ex when we split)......losing two canine companions so close together is so hard. Just starting to get over the rawness of losing my girl-dog and now this Sad He was my faithful friend for nearly ten years and i still saw him twice a week.......going to feel odd not to be greeted by him when i go there tomorrow.

In TTC news I am producing lots of CM.......still not EW but for the first time since i came off the pill there was erm.....(tmi) rather a lot of it when i wiped earlier. Think i'm definitely in a fertile window now.
Going to head up to bed I think and read my book as DP has disappeared into the world of Xbox Hmm

KLou111 · 21/11/2010 22:03

Sorry queenrollo so close together too :(

MIL and FIL lost 2 within 3 months, 1st one ran away and 2nd one died of cancer. They were both 12. We all think the 1st one was picked up by the traveller community as was a little terrier, or she ran away because she knew the other one (Springer) was going to die.

They are such a huge part of your lives, like children in some respects. Hope it's not too hard tomorrow x

buttonmoon78 · 21/11/2010 22:46

Ok guys - BFP.

Kakking myself now. Knew it would happen. Sad

Feel Sad for feeling Sad

KLou111 · 21/11/2010 22:51

Well, I'm ecstatic for you button!!

These things happen for a reason, and the reason is you are meant to be a mum.

Yes, it is going to make things a bit more stressful at the moment, but I'm sure everything will work out for you. You will make it work out now x
