Everyone will probably see this thread was started by me and think "Oh god, not her again".

You can tell it's getting towards that time of the month.

Anyway, on day 26 of cycle - have had a really dull tummy ache for last 2 days as if A/F is going to arrive - actually been going to the toilet to check it's that bad (Gross i know but i have to be graphic).
Woke up this morning feeling really sicky but thought i was just probably hungry as had not eaten last night - therefore went to the shop to buy a Mars Bar (Healthy, i know) and have now just thrown the whole mars bar back up again.

Is it just wishful thinking? Can't test yet as cycle's vary from 28 days to 38 days.

Hi Egypt, go for it girl!

quackers · 23/08/2003 17:58

Egypt - I'm here honey! Grewat news!! I don't think I've seen this CM stuff b4 but next time will look out!! Poor DH!!! Bless them - really pleased, you;re going to be another bunny!!
My LH - I'm not supposed to use Persona until I've had 2 cycles - I've not had one yet so I was silly to try - still have pg boobs even, which is v frustrating and upsetting but they will go and hopefully come back agian. hey guess what. When we went to Bali on Honey moonm we were given a fertility doll and within a month we conceived - healthy baby, not seen the thing for 3 years and it turned up today, I've hung it on our bedroom door again for good luck!!!!!

Twiglett, tha's me exactly! Tried to lose that last stone and a half but never did. I am determined not to do the same this time so I've been out to buy loads of fruit.

Quackers, may the fertility doll bestow upon you another baby.

quackers · 24/08/2003 11:22

EXACTLY!!!! Yes me too, I'm another thats got a stone to lose really, going to try before conceiving again. Not heard from Jems, she said she'd try and get into work if it was good news - speak Tues Jems xxxx

bunny2 · 24/08/2003 14:22

This is very weird indeed, I am hungry and thirsty all the time but prefer fruit and water!?!? Cant be me. I really dont feel like eating unhealthily this time. LAst time I remember gorging on chips with curry sauce as a bedtime snack almost nightly, but now I feel like salmon and rice instead.

Egypt · 24/08/2003 14:39

Hi all, sounds good bunny. keep eating that fruit and veg! Poor DH, shoved the OPK in his face just 5 mins ago as got a really strong surge!! HOORAH!!!!! day14. never happened like this b4. v excited. fingers crossed!

bunny2 · 24/08/2003 20:56

Oh sorry all, rather dramatic wasn't it. Egypt, temp rise yet? Manage to bd again??
Jems - R U there are? How are you?

bunny2 · 26/08/2003 08:43

Hi Quakcks, jst read last nights message - I do now how you feel. It's a bummer sometimes.

Where is Jems?

quackers · 26/08/2003 09:11

Come on Jems!!
Got my first period today - wayhay - probably why I was so sad last night! PMT or what! It's really heavy though, which is good! My cycles are only about 25 days, so 3 should go quite quick. Hope u ok Bunny! Told my DH about you. xxxx

Jemma7 · 26/08/2003 09:20

Hi Campers, I'm here - Tested on Friday and it was -ive.
Surprise Surprise - getting used to this now!
Anyway, Dp & I had big talk over the weekend, spent lots of time together following a huge row on Saturday and have decided to not let it take over our lives and just see how things go.
I was definitely starting to look into things to much and have decided that if it is going to happen it is going to happen whatever we do.

Anyway, looks like it's been a busy weekend here - well done for finding your doll quacks - I wouldn't just leave it on the bedroom door incase u get bd'ing somewhere else - Carry it everywhere!!!!!

Sorry to butt in....

could someone tell what 'bd' is? I mean I know what you are all referring to, but I can't think what the letters actually stand for??? Am I just too innocent?

Good luck everyone!!

Jemma7 · 26/08/2003 09:45

"Baby Dancing"

I always get you confused with Mum2Toby - are u the same person?

M2T · 26/08/2003 12:24

Yes I am Jemma7 - Mumsnetters started calling me M2T so when I registered on my home PC I started using that instead.

bunny2 · 26/08/2003 12:58

Jemma, I'm so, so sorry. I really hoped you would have good news today, I've been thinking about you over the w/e and looked forward to hearing we were going to be pg buddies. I really am gutted for you, I've been there and it is a bummer. It's been said many times but when you take the pressure off of yourself, things might happen. I have loads of friends who conceived after they had given up/stopped trying. Good luck. BXX

bunny2 · 26/08/2003 12:59

M2T, I was going to ask the meaning of bd today, I thought it was some technical term for it, then I thought maybe it means "bonking dearest". Totally wrong on both accounts.

quackers · 26/08/2003 13:07

Oh Bunny, like that!! Jems, so sorry it wasn't your time. I does put so much pressure on you and hopefully you and your DH have got it all out in the open. It takes the fun out of it too. Stick to your plan and maybe use persona to get a good idea of your fertile bit, you just might have missed it. Everyone is diff and ov's on diff day and diff days each month, that's why you increase your chances with Persona/OPK's. Whe u want something badly it just doesn't come easily - well to most anyway and those who get it easily rarely appreciate it. You'll be a Mum soon and have the baby you deserve. I hope to try in about 8 weeks, in a nice way hope you're still here but I would be chuffed for you if you 'graduate'!
Not heard from Egypt, gosh feel sorry for her DH!!!

Jemma7 · 26/08/2003 15:23

Ahh thanx chucks!
You never know quacks, we might be pg buddies when our time comes!

Typical, i have just spoken to my cousin and she has told me she is 3 months pg - due end of feb - I'm a very very pleased for her but it just makes everything that more noticable that it's not me!

Oh dear, feeling very sorry for myself aren't i

You never know! Don't feel that you're the only one, there are still loads of us here in the same boat. Just think of all the successes there have been and one day soon it will be you. Don't think of obsessing but knowledge is power and if u knew when ov was happening you would narrow down your window of opportunity and chances of success. Sometimes even the coolest peopel don't get pg because they just have no clue when they are ov'g. We can give u tons of help pinpointing this, hope you'll maybe try it, it might relax you anyway because you'll know what is happening and when. xxxx

Egypt · 26/08/2003 18:15

Hi girls. Quackers - great news about AF, you can count down to OV now. Jems, so sorry again. No AF though? hopefully it will arrive soon (if you really are not pg) then you can get trying again.
Yes, had temp rise this morning quackers. thanks for asking. not sure if it was the real rise or just cos i was awake most of the night, fitfully dreaming and sweating. nice! could have been, have to see if its high again tomorrow. Why do you feel sorry for my DH quackers? Bless him, i do a bit too. is it cos i am being rather obsessive about timing bd? think i prob am.
anyway, 2ww now.
