cookie can you use your womanly charms to change his mind?! Offer a quickie during half time Grin

Iggly he does not deserve it. And I really hope his team lose. Sucker! !

orangehead · 10/03/2011 21:04

Just thought Id check in, not been on for acouple of days.
It seems very strange Seven, but then again sometimes my af are like that but that normal for me. Does it feel like yor af?
I really hate this waiting part.

sevendwarves · 10/03/2011 21:36

orange I never usually get any AF symptoms except period pains, so no different just pain-free. I POAS anyway so I can indulge in wine until I need to SWI just to be certain and got a BFN. I'll stop worrying and just call it a random AF.

Still 11 days until I should ov so nothing exciting going on here. Is anyone else in the boring stage?

Sassymk · 10/03/2011 22:20

I'm in the boring stage :(. AF not due till 20th and I did a test today even though I knew there was no point at all Confused. Why do we do it?!

WaitingforStork · 11/03/2011 08:17

Hi all, nothing to report here only CD7. Nice relaxing time of the month really as no pressure and can just enjouy SWI (even though chances of it amounting to anything are infitesimally small!).

Just looked at everyones stats and realised that Pink and Youremindmeofthebabe are due AF as the same time as me so will be looking to them to keep me sane as the month progress (hopes they are calm and level headed and won't encourage me to spend a fortune on pee sticks...)

Also wondering if that I managed to get a BFP on April 1st whether DH would believe me or not when I told him? I'm not cruel enough to lie about that kind of thing but he might actually need to see the stick to prove it wasn't an April fool!

BlueCrane · 11/03/2011 09:37

Morning all Smile ...been feeling a bit down about the whole TTC and BFN thing this week Sad I know it's only been two months trying but in my naive head it wasn't going to take this long Hmm and just had too many friends who have proudly told me it happened first time recently so have been a bit fed up!

seven my AF been a bit weird too...stopped on Tuesday but poss back again this morning! Def an AF though as was super painful and heavy enough (sorry TMI)....and also in the 'boring' stage waiting for ovulation! I've ordered some CB digital ov sticks which will hopefully arrive tomorrow (as am CD8 today) so hoping they help me pinpoint Ov this time around as no clue the last two cycles!!

Iggly · 11/03/2011 10:10

I'll have some cake too Grin TTC isn't easy for everyone, your friends were lucky. My friend took a year to conceive DC1 whereas I took 1 month. DC2 - she took a month, I'm still trying after a MC and a couple of months. Nature is a bitch sometimes. Worth considering though whether you're ovulating later than you think with the longer cycles?

spidookly · 11/03/2011 10:22

I guess I'm in the exciting phase then :o

Think I ov'ed yesterday, but obviously can't be sure so important to keep going with the SWI for a bit.

Still, the urgency has passed a little bit because I do think the main event happened yesterday.

Kind of glad it's over, it was quite painful. Still a few twinges today.

Waiting - wouldn't you show him the pee stick anyway? I've still got my BFPs from 2 DDs Blush, although there's nothing to see on either of them any more, they are just gross plastic sticks I weed on years ago :o

Thanks for the cake BlueCrane, what a top tea trolley-dolly you are :) Sorry you're feeling down :(

Cheer up Blue, hopefully this will be our month, I'd really love a Christmas baby.

I'll take lemon drizzle cake as well and Brew

AF has gone again now thankfully so can look forward to plenty of SWI

ThePippy · 11/03/2011 10:52

Hello Ladies,

Can I join the bus please? I did lurk on the November bus but failed to DTD at all last month so promising myself that I will summons up the energy to get things moving this month (difficult with 19 mth DD).

Updated the list - I assumed it was in order of due date.

FX for lots of BFP's on this bus.

WaitingforStork · 11/03/2011 12:47

You're right Spidookly he would get it waived under his nose anyway!

If lucky enough to get a BFP this month I'm going to wrap it and give it to him as an early christmas present, sure I've got some of lat years paper lying around somewhere...

BlueCrane · 11/03/2011 14:09

Welcome pippy Smile

I'm so so glad it's friday today...a glass of wine tonight and lie in tomorrow and looking forward to it! Might even suggest to DH that we start the SWI a bit early this month Wink

waiting I've got loads of wrapping paper left...that could be an idea if we do get a bfp...though think I might be on hols for the second week of the 2ww this cycle so DH will be there for all the POASing stress this time!

spidookly · 11/03/2011 14:29

Welcome Pippy

Your last month of TTC reminds me of when my brother was little and he'd tell you that he was collecting something, e.g. Transformers. But he wouldn't have any transformers yet. And then he'd get bored of "collecting" transformers before his collection had even a single item in it :o

19 months is exhausting - there's just no let up. I can quite appreciate why SWI gave way to sleeping with intent :) Hope you have more energy this week.

I really love Waiting's early Christmas wrapping paper idea. Realistically I would never get around to doing that, but it's very sweet.

Although BlueCrane - "I've got loads of wrapping paper left" - how many would you wrap?! :o

I suppose if you have a big store of Internet cheapies you might as well use them up getting plenty of BFPs. An interesting Christmas tree decoration? :o

Yay for Friday. Looking forward to few beers and then a slightly bleary SWI later.

spidookly · 11/03/2011 14:29

Sorry, this month, I hope you have more energy this month.

MickyLee · 11/03/2011 14:38

Hi everyone.

Not much going on here still with DM here. Not ovulating yet (don't think Hmm going by checking discharge -sorry TMI!)

I think i may be the only one looking forward to AF this month so i can judge my proper cycles Grin

Blue I have already decided next month I will get the BFP, planned which maternity clothes I will need for the summer etc.. sure I am leaving myself upto dispointment!

orangehead · 11/03/2011 14:46

Sassy - we all been there, testing when we know there is no chance of it showing. We need to keep ourselves more occupied, more shopping I think.
Sorry you feeling down Blue, it can be quite stressful, hope the lemon drizzle cake has helped Smile. Love the present idea.
Welcome Pippy, hope you have more energy this month.
You post made me laugh spidookly, I hope you mean the ov was quite painful not the swi Grin

ThePippy · 11/03/2011 15:02

Ha spidookly love the transformers analogy - so very true. You were actually on the money first time, I think I do just need more energy this week as I am on CD9 and last month Fertility Friend tells me I OV on CD13, so I am planning a busy weekend ;-) Just hoping DH is with the program as man flu has been brewing this week! Maybe I will consider a pre-emptive strike with dose of calpol for DD at bedtime too as she somehow always manages to wait until we hit the sack before starting to kick off!

Hope we all have lots of SWI this month!

weimy · 11/03/2011 16:11

Hey all! hugs to blue,

I think I ov'd today my temp has gone down a lot, swi yesterday, this morning, and tomorrow I suppose!Not had any ov symptoms tho Hmm

Tanif · 11/03/2011 16:39

I had something occur to me this morning. If we do get lucky this month, it would be entirely conceivable (haha geddit?) that I could wind up with a double christmas eve birthday. Explained this to DP this morning and he got very huffy and said he didn't want to share his birthday!

In other news, I booked my smear test for next Friday which will be CD11. Hopefully this means it won't interfere with SWI this month!

orangehead · 11/03/2011 18:07

Glad you booked your smear, good o get it out of the way

peapop · 11/03/2011 18:26

Finally the weekend, phew!

Just checking in but nothing exciting to report apart from a case of the green eyed monster with soooo many pregnant ladies around me at the mo Blush

Glad you got your smear booked Tanif

spidookly · 11/03/2011 19:59

Beeeeeeeeeer :)

MrsMcJnr · 11/03/2011 20:49

Tanif ? my own funny tale. My birthday is 29/12 but I was due on 15/1. My DS was also due on 15/1 so from my birthday onwards I expected him to turn up but he didn´t until 24/1!!!! Smile
