Hello all!

Congratulations katee! Hope that line keeps getting stronger. Smile

newgold, I really hope that is an implantation bleed. Same for you MrsA and hope that AF is not on her way.

Hi raven, I was thinking yesterday that we hadn't seen you for a while and hoped you were ok. Lol at "the business end" of your cycle.

FF has now confirmed that I am on 2ww, yay! I am very busy at work next week so hopefully that will keep me distracted. And then we are going away next weekend so lots to keep my mind elsewhere. (As if that will work!) Here is my chart.

Have lovely weekends everyone with lots of Wine if needed.

MrsP81 · 04/02/2011 19:23

Chart looks good Karbea, I will be stalking you!

essenceofSES · 04/02/2011 20:12

Hello! I've been away with work for a couple of days and there's so much to catch up on!
I'm feeling quite :( though as not looking so good for me this cycle. Temp down nearly to coverline, symptoms disappearing (except for cramping which could be AF) and some brown spotting this evening. DH persauded me to do a test earlier and I told him it was too early (10dpo) but went and secretly did one anyway and obviously got a BFN :(

Anyway, enough of me!
Katee AND Strawberry - fantastic news for you both Grin Grin Grin

jaggy - sorry you're out this month

MrsP - good luck for your 2ww!

karbea - your chart is looking good!!

ochaye - I don't think you've done a terrible thing!! Hopefully in a few weeks' time, she'll be thanking you!

NewGold - did the witch turn up properly? Hope you managed to get out tonight

Hello everyone else! Will try an catch up on everyone else's news too....

ravenlocks · 04/02/2011 20:32

katee yipee for your BFP.

Am I really dumb... What do you do after you have added a friend? Do you know how you see their chart?

I accepted you AD but then had to click 'dismiss' to get it to do anything else...so not sure if it worked.

Thanks MrsP yeah I am ok. It almost feels like it didn't happen now, from BFP to M/C was only 5 days and feels a bit unreal.

jaggythistle · 04/02/2011 21:00

I am dumb too - I can't see the link to add people from their homepage?

Can people please take pity and add me till I work it out?

boring cd1 chart

jaggythistle · 04/02/2011 21:01

'Am I', not 'I am' dumb of course, you may beg to differ...

Newgolddream · 05/02/2011 08:53

Morning!

Sadly ravenlocks and mrsp81 my bleeding has got heavier, I was praying desperately hoping that it waould be an implantation bleed, but no. Still feeling quite down, but I know form past experience its better to look forward now and concentrate on this cycle, that ones past and Im not pregnant. Ive often said I wouldnt mind how long it takes as long as I knew that I would def get a BFP at the end of this, but for us all the most stressful part is not knowing isnt it.

And then I feel bad because Ive got 3 lovely boys and I know some people are ttc no1, so I dont think its as bad for me obviously. Except I just want a baby. Its great having here for support - and I value everyone here - because I havent told anyone Im ttc, Im scared of the inevitable "oh trying for a girl" comments - which Im not, I dont care, just want a healthy baby. Plus because Im 40 Im sure I would get some comments re that.

Anyway how is everyone else?

Kateepie have you tested again this morning?

karbea - chart looking good!

Oh and ravenlocks yes Im going to try OPKs this month, bumper pack from Ebay just turned up. Grin

essence sorry about your BFN I know how much of a pisser that is. And thanks I did go out, we went to see my cousins wee boy in The Wizrd of Oz and I loved it.Smile

Thanks kateepie, ochaye and auntiedoris from the friends request on FF - I will be stalking you all now!!! Like you jaggy I cant work out how to send request Confused

TerrysNo2 · 05/02/2011 10:03

Morning all

Sorry for AF arrival newgolddreams give those boys an extra big cuddle today and get back on SWI wagon soon! Smile Oh and a Wine for you!

toddler arrival, catch up later!

Newgolddream · 05/02/2011 11:24

terrysno2 - aww thank you. SmileSmile

I will take you up on the Wine although it will probably have to wait until I strip the sheets from sicky DS2s bed lol.

Karbea · 05/02/2011 15:27

Hello girlies, I've had very light spotting today and did a test and was neg so af I guess will be starting soon :(

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 05/02/2011 15:34

Having a cosmo and Wine ladies.

Totally fucked off.
My body is clearly broken.

Am off to put my head under duvet and may return tomorrow.

weimy · 05/02/2011 15:35

Newgoldendream sorry about AF :) I think it does help to start thinking about 'this' cycle, feels like you are being pro active :)

Katee hope you are well! I am cd9 and hoping that ov does not arrive next weekend when I am away.

Well my temps are very low this month and all over the place Confused but my sleep is very disrupted, either by the dogs or my DH breathing.

hope everyone is ok :)

weimy · 05/02/2011 15:35

oops first :) is meant to be a :(

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 05/02/2011 18:32

Have been away for a couple of days and have missed so much..... congrats on your fantastic BFPs Strawberry & Katee . Still nowt to report here, this is the longest & most boring cycle in my life, AF is normally round the corner by now,but I havent even ovuated yet! www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 I am getting very impatient now!!!! Grin

tory79 · 05/02/2011 18:34

Bah! I was feeling secretly hopeful this month, but not any more Sad

I sense a short cycle coming on

mousebacon · 05/02/2011 18:42

Hi ladies, just popping in Smile

ifat - depressing thought, are we the longest serving members on here? Ugh. Doom. Still love charting though Smile

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 05/02/2011 18:46

I think we may be mouse I'm getting rather confused with all these new names. Although, it just goes to show how lucky this thread seems to be :)

ochaye · 05/02/2011 18:46

Do you normally have such short cycles tory? I'm the opposite ... my cycles drag on for 31 days normally. This WTF cycle was 37 days Sad. I can empathise ifat.

mousebacon · 05/02/2011 18:57

Yes, that's v true. I kind of wish we had stats so I could remind myself of all our grads.

This is day 9 of WTF so in it for the long haul too. I reckon it'll be march before we're ttc again. Here's to a Christmas baby Smile xx

batteryhen · 05/02/2011 19:18

Hello all - Just doing a de-lurk. I am only on CD11 so I tend to get a but :( about the whole ttc thing in the first 2 weeks so apologies for my silence. BUT DP IS HOME :) if only for 3 days - so hope catch an eggy :)

terrys we are on the same cd I think - lets hope we are both lucky this month xx

mouse~ and if I feel like I have been around for ages too. This thread moves so fast that I find I can read it but just not have time to post.

Really brill news about the recent pg's. :)

digi dp is hopefully coming home for good in June which is great - which means a move down south which I really don't mind as long as we are together.

Big wave to everyone - I really can't keep up with all the names but do keep an eye on you all xx

tory79 · 05/02/2011 19:33

ochaye since I came off the pill in the summer my cycles have varied between 24 and 30 days. I ov'd early this month as well though, 6 days earlier than last month, so this whole cycle is feeling a bit weird!

digitalgirl · 05/02/2011 20:48

battery that's great that you won't need to time flights with ovulation come June. But hopefully you'll be pg by then so can put your feet up and let DP run around after you.

mouse & ifat I felt like that, lots of newbies coming and going. But what's really interesting is that most newbies have been ttc for some time before they start charting, then within a few cycles of charting the get lucky.

mrsa haven't stalked your chart but assuming cd1? If so v v sorry that your body has been messing you about.

I have no symptoms. Nada. So have continued to chart my temp in case this turns into a cp. I have a 15 day luteal phase and am actually due my period on Monday - which I will expect if I get a massive temp drop tomorrow at 15dpo (although ff thinks it will be 17dpo). Chart here if anyone cares to gawp. If it does stay up then I will definitely hide the thermometer. Have done 4 tests in a row except today as too scared to see it get fainter. By that logic I should really not temp, but I'm now programmed to wake up around 6am. Can't get back to sleep because I'm wondering what my temp will be and whether I should do another test with that first wee of the day. Mentalling.

essenceofSES · 05/02/2011 21:08

Hello everyone! I'm struggling to keep up as work has taken over a bit this week so sorry if I miss mentioning anyone!

Newgold - glad you went out in the end and enjoyed it.
I agree MN - and particularly this thread - is great for support.

Digi - please don't worry about lack of symptoms. Every pg is different and your chart definitely looks triphasic.

MrsA - :( and Wine

As for me, my chart is here
All my nausea symptoms have gone although my appetite isn't as huge as it normally is and I have got a bit of cramping. Still v light brown spotting so I really don't know and trying to be realistic about slim chance of BFP. I'm actually due on Monday so won't test again until then.

Also I'm a bit concerned DS may have chicken pox. He's had a cough and slight temperature all week and then one suspiscious looking spot this evening. I hope I'm wrong!

mousebacon · 05/02/2011 22:47

essence I think if your temp is up in the morn you should poas.

On the pox front you tend to find multiple spots appear on the tummy and/or back in quick succession then spread. There's nothing much you can do really except manage his temperature and keep an eye they don't spread to his mouth/ throat.

digi I like your thinking about this thread. Hope you're ok. I know every morning must be terrifying so after tomorrow you need to get rid of the thermometer PLEASE! I really hope this is it for you - maybe it'll be quads and you'll be on the news...

hugs for mrsa it's totally shit isn't it? Pub lunch with wine tomorrow?

battery another old pro Smile maybe we should start looking for commision from toni herself?

xx

mousebacon · 05/02/2011 22:49

Forgot to say looks good to me karbea good luck! How long is your lp normally? x
