[DachshundAntlersRule]

Had an mc and need some wine, chocolate and somewhere to moan and cry? This is the place to be! We chat a LOT so it can be hard to keep up, but everyone on here is great and will hold your hand until you get your BFP.

tigger it's nothing personal, I know I lost a few days last month and had to catch up! Sorry it was annovulatory again - you're coming up to your appointment aren't you? Hope you get some answers there xx

Hi folks
havent been around for a good week. Spent 4 days in bed - unfortunately not TTC but trying to get well.
Back at work since Monday and its go-go-go in the Xmas run up.
Heading off on a business trip tomorrow to avoid mental snow on Thursday morning to give day long presentations on Thurs and workshops on Friday so just been packing bag and just realised its day 18!!!
Wooppppp

you know i started temping, well ff says i didnt ovulate yet. im starting to wonder...... ?! I kind of felt it at the weekend, had ewcm mid/end last week, but only today my boobs are sore.
If i figure out how to post my link here i will do and maybe (pretty pretty please) one of you temping profis can take a peek to see if you see a peak

"Look at this page"

hoorah!!!! I did it

does a Dora dance in proud moment and then realises she´s not really announcing a BFP here, but just posting a link to a rather confusing wee chart

Hi chocky,

glad you are feeling better.

Your chart looks pre-ov to me, but if EGCM has started then it could be coming any day. The LAST day of EGCM is the real clue to ov. Hope you have a safe trip and dont forget to pack your themometer!

Hi choccybick,
Your chart doesn't look like ovulation has happened yet to me, but maybe you're getting close with the sore boobs, ewcm and pain. I think you won't see a line drawn until you see three temps that are higher than the previous six (I believe).

Ah, my day at home - hooray! Thank you every one for your lovely warm thoughts and hugs after my mad upset day. I was still a bit testy yesterday but feel like I'm on the up again now so I think it was partly the hormonal dip.

Can't remember who was asking about progesterone cream but I used it after ovulation as well as a b multivit throughout my cycle and my lp was 12 instead of 11. Could be coincidence but I'll do it again this cycle and see if it repeats.

Must get up, breakfast won't make itself...

tigger that was probably me, When I first did the list yesterday I had to add on 5 days to everyone, and obviously that was stretching my mental capabilities at 8 am too far! Sorry

Thanks izz I take 50 mg now, but may up it to 100 for this cycle and see how I get on. I'll see how you get on ladybee with the progesterone before I commit to buy!

chocky I agree with everyone that it looks pre ov at the minute. Get that swi in!

Has anyone seen velvet recently? It's her due date today, I think.

mummyO do you feel any better today? Eeeep for a family christmas.

Just a quick message as I'm at work but I know it was somrone's due date today and I think it was velvet - just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and hope you're ok xx

big ((((hugs)))) to you and all those who need them today x

Just a quickie... izzy, yes you are right...
velvet be thinking of you tomorrow, lots of hugs and love xx

Hugs to Velvet coming from me too.

Hope work it not too nuts today Izzy and Mummy that you're over the S&V and enjoying having your family to stay.

Have a good trip Choccy and YEY!!!!! for AF Tunnocks!!! (did I post that yesterday? Can't remember!).

Love to all of you lovely ladies xxx

PS Dachs when do you start your next cycle??

Thinking of you Velvet

Choc hope you miss the snow, LookNorth weather said it could start Wed night so take care! Although being snowed in when Ov is just around the corner could be handy?

Tigger sorry it was annov, I had one last month, and I know its crap when it happens a lot (I have PCOS and until recently didn't ever ov at all)

Well FF have canceled that Ov line as temp dropped back again this am... I am wishing my life away hoping for more temps to input! It gets a bit addictive doesn't it!

TBH I wasn't expecting Ov until between Christmas Eve and New Year as last few cycles have been UCL40so will wait and see!

BTW what do you lot class as wet/creamy/EWCM? just a couple of times I have had CM that could be put under more than one title IYSWIM!

Loola2snowshus?

Just popping in to say hellooo!

Ladybee - big hug for you. You are not bonkers. Or if you are, so am I.

baubles - big hug for you too. You're right, it's shit.

tunnocks - I sympathise... very frustrating not knowing what's going on, and (strangely) am glad AF found you in the end. My body's gone to pot... don't understand what's happening... 3 days of spotting, no ovulation, no imminent signs of period, and my chart looks like the mirror image of what it should be... mine has to be hormonal as I didn't have ERPC. I realise it's early days yet though.

Izzy - at your 4-year old choosing stuff. Makes life so much easier, I find. They have firm opinions while we remain clueless and indifferent...

dachsh - not sure about the eggnog coffee... I've not got over the eggnog associations from the previous thread yet [why don't we have a vomit emoticon??]

Hiding - boooo hisss sorry to hear about AF. Hmmm, if I put mooncup on my Christmas list, do you think any of my rels would be brave enough to buy it???!!!

Wombat - the pregnancy announcements are hard aren't they? I've been dreading the Christmas cards arriving, as there is always someone signing off with "bump" or similar..

Nix - hooray for the nausea [need vomit emoticon again]

I hope that all the poorly people are feeling better, and all the unhappy people have someone nearby to give 'em a lovely squashy hug, and that Amazon get their act together!! And sorry to hear that AF found a lot of you, but enjoy the port and stilton and pate over Christmas...

I'm not really much happier and am no further on with DH, but I guess I've got time to leave it awhile if my body's not playing ball.

Hello lovelies, sorry not been around for a couple of days, Hideous working week thus far, 2 nights in MK, not seen DS and crap WIFI! (not sure which is worse, cant live without wifi!!)

Orange you have some good symptoms there lovely, heres everything crossed atm for you :) AR damn damn damn if the witch arrives! Hopefully not though :)

mummy glad you are feeling better lovely, and you have time for some MEtime before rels arrive! Oooh christmas in the sun, what i wouldnt give!

Big huge hugs to everyone needing a hug the last couple of days :( baublebabe ladybee sorry you had a rant, but i love the way you write! You should be a novelist!! Hope you are both feeling good now. baublebabe second this

HK good luck for the 2WW get the pineapple juice down your gullet, half a litre or more every day!! Brazil nuts too!!!

chockster i cant view your chart, would check if i could. Glad you better, have you had a bug or food poisoning?

emoo Hello lovely, glad to see you back if only for a short time. Sorry DH isnt playing ball.... i found setting DS on my DH for a little brother or sister worked wonders!!! Yes I am that devious!! Gave him the incentive to get his willy ass in gear!
Dont give up lovely xx

vevlet if its your due date soon i hope you are ok, hows the chart looking now? Did you get a late ov? Hope so :)

I am ok. Other than work is wank, I officially hate customers. Had the most stressful monday/tuesday ever. Not good not good! ARSES! Hence the two nights in a hotel so i can rest more rather than kill myself driving - need the rest!! On mega knicker watch atm, say a little "please god" every time i go to the loo. Am avoiding all my friends at the min as i have only told mum and sis. Symptom wise i have scary boobs again and did have a bit of nausea but i just eat like a pig and it stays away, although i want it reassuringly back today!! Please god let there be something in the sack this time....

Cannot believe its the 15th December and i dont feel remotely christmassy... need to get through this work week and next then am off for 10 days at christmas all decorating is complete, house is straight, just DS time and Feet up!

xxxx

Hi Emoo and Nix!

I just bought myself a little pre-Christmas present: Preeseed from amazon. Anyone know if it's any good? Should be here early next week, so might be too late for SWI week this month (due to ov Monday ish), but I'll have it for next month (and if I don't need it next month I'll be thrilled to have wasted my money)

Nix - I tried the DD trick already - failed.

Wombat - Preseed - I optimistically ordered some after my MC. It arrived the day before DH decided he wasn't playing. We've therefore not tested it yet. I have squeezed the tube a little to see what it's like, and I think for lube/pleasure purposes it's not going to be as good as Senselle/Sensilube (which I've used for years), which has a much more egg-noggy consistency. I can't comment about relative sperm-friendliness, as I don't usually need to use anything at fertile times anyway.

Time for massive catch up. I have been lurking but not posting as too busy checking knickers every 2 minutes. I kid ye not.

Moo That's the best use of the words 'egg-nog' I've ever seen

Wombat it works okay but you don't want to hang around otherwise it either a: falls out or b: dries up. However, it does not kill off the swimmers and that is what matters, right?

Bee I too would have bought the second stocking and wailed copiously - glad to hear you are on the up again

Nix I know how you feel - tomorrow is day 6 + 6 and when I mc last time - am crapping myself with fear. Hope you are doing okay my lovely.

Massive mince pie and cheering squad for Velvet if she is lurking x

Tigger big grrr at rotten cycle misbehaving - I am really hoping for a much rosier 2011 for you.

Big hug for MummyB , Baubles , MamaC , Izzy and all the other lovely people in here, this is still the best and most supportive ttc thread I reckon, which is why I am refusing to move out

Hi All

Thanks for the thoughts - it is my due date today and of course you are all right - the buildup is much worse than the day although of course I am sad :( Hopefully now I can get some closure and move on.

FF decided on Monday that I did actually ov on cd15 which means I have had a stress-free 2ww. AF due on Friday - I also am kinda hoping she turns up so I can drown my sorrows at the work Xmas do on Saturday

here is my crazy chart no idea WTF is going on with the rollercoaster temps! have mega sore boobs this month! I hope they are gone by Saturday otherwise it will interfere with my dancing!

Sorry I am not writing personal messages - have been awol so long it's difficult to catchup. Anyway thanks again for thinking of me
xx

Owls agree re moos egg-nogging...wont tell you what that makes me think of. There fore wombo i will sadly never share your starbucks egg-nog coffee!

Owls you are a teensy weensy bit ahead of me. 6+2 tomorrow. You will be fine i know it. Try not to think about it and pray (no i am not religious either... but saying please god seems to make me feel like i am pleading to a higher power than what controls sticky womb lining or progesterone levels ) xx

velvet sorry forgot to add, glad you are ok and fab that you OV!!! Whoop

Hello all. Sorry it's a quick one as I don't have time to name everyone and read everything but big ((hugs)) to everyone in a general kind of way

I did notice some mention of B vits and Progestorone cream possibly in connection with getting the luteal phase a bit longer. Last month mine was a great big 8 days which is pretty crap right?

So should I be getting the vits and cream? Any other tips? and just because I love to ask a stupid question, where do you ummm...put the cream?

Oi! The egg-nog definitely wasn't my idea first...! someone else mentioned it a while back, and at that point I inwardly vowed always to use eggnog in preference to eewwwCM .

Nix and owl - be brave. If I were religious I'd pray for you too, but I'm not, so you'll have to make do with random positive thoughts aimed in your direction --->

Velvet - glad today was better than you expected, but sorry you are still sad. I looked at your chart, but have no intelligent comment, sorry.

Hiding - best place for cream? Definitely IN A CAKE, of course...!

Hiding I wondered exactly the same thing but I can report back that you rub it...

...on your tummy. Or thighs. Or anywhere that it can be absorbed through the skin. You only use a pea-sized 'lump' once you know you've ovulated for max 14 days or until AF comes. Not sure what to do if you get BFP...still to find that out.

Thanks for the messages. Yes the appointment is next week so that's something to look forward to - sort of. I'm just a bit at 6s and 7s at the moment as on top of the 2nd anov cycle I know we need to move house soon (as current accommodation is coming to an end for various reasons) but we are trying to buy a place too which is not great fun in the current market. Oh and a very close relative of mine (who'd better remain unnamed in case one of the few people who knows me in RL sees this) announced at a family meal recently that she's expecting. Not that I want her to go through what I am, but it's still not easy especially with other relatives murmuring you'll be next etc.

Thanks for updating me. I use this list to keep track and in fact spent over an hour last week going through this and older lists to work out all my cycle lengths for up to 3 months post mc which was when I started posting. I used to write my lmp date at the start of each month in my blood sugar record book but gave up on both that and bothering to write them down when I got to 11 months and have of course lost the book now. It'll probably turn up when I move Good luck to all who remain. I don't think there's anyone who actively posts on this list who was here when I started which is really depressing. I used to be a much more cheerful poster
