Grin at your DH's 'deposit' leaking out!!!

yes a long weekend - 2 in fact! (actually for me its a week off from friday!!) YAY

cep · 19/04/2011 14:50

bump do you use fertility friend.com? even if you don't temp you can use it to note your cm. The thing with cm is that it can change during the day, it says to note the most fertile cm of that day. Do you test with 1 or two fingers? it's normal for all woman to not ov every now and then.

collie we forgave you a long time ago. Grin

I'm ok thank you for asking bump scan went fine, bean was waving an arm and gave a big jump. Smile

Bumpwanted · 19/04/2011 15:10

woohoo! Just tested and I got a smiley face. DH better prepare himself for some action tonight!!

Cep glad your scan went well!!! SO exciting!!!!

Nope I don't do anything other than look on period tracker on my iphone at the mo. I am trying not to start logging stuff just yet given its only the 1st attempt on this cycle. This time post MC I caved in to one pack of OPKs in case my cycle was messed up and I didn't know when I was ovulating. Suspect next month if we are still TTC I will have charts all over the plance!

cep · 19/04/2011 15:13

jump him tonight and tomorrow night. Grin

Bumpwanted · 19/04/2011 15:47

We def started waaaaaaay too early this month. I am actually exhausted at the thought of it but a girl's got to do what a girl's gt to do!! Grin

Collie2 · 19/04/2011 15:56

Starting early is not a bad thing bump .... as long as you have got the engery to keep going. We started WAY to early, but in the end, it all paid of Grin Have fun tonight Grin Grin

V happy for cep

Loup23 · 19/04/2011 18:59

Go bump, good luck. Congrats cep, good news.

Still confused here, did a hpt last night (obvs not fmu) got a bfn. No bleeding yesterday, some brown this afternoon. Just want to know one way or another so have two tests left! Will do one tomorrow and one friday - naughty I know but I'm in sunny france so will have some wine tonight....

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine in UK. Waves and passes some pimms and mocktails around! X

Loup23 · 20/04/2011 08:11

Morning ladies, after CD37, AF finally arrived so back to CD1 for me - silver lining is I can enjoy the wine guilt free and therefore relax on this holiday before waiting for next O day..... Good luck other 2ww. Hope for some BFPs x

hopeful1 · 20/04/2011 08:40

Loup so sorry your af arrived but like you said now you can relax a bit and enjoy the lovely french wine. I am very envious of you being in France, how lovely.

Bump Your way of getting pregnant sounds a lot more fun than lying with my legs in stirrups and having a turkey baster shoved up.

Cep so pleased the scan wemt well, counting down the days until my first scan

Morning everyone

Sorry about af Loup, enjoy your holiday x

Hello to the newbies, sorry for your losses x

How are you doing Hopeful and Harrassed?

How are you Minnie?

Hi Bump, hope you had fun last night! Wink!

Great news on the scan Cep Grin! how is dh being about things now?

Waves to Collie, Chloe, Olis, Lily and everyone else! Laylas we haven't heard from you in a while, how are things?

No smiley face yet...I'm only day 10 but freaking out that it'll be another stupid short cycle with no ovulation :(.

Morning..................SO tired...............will name check once I have had a coffee....who knew that DTD could leave you feeling like you have a hangover the next day.......

hopeful1 · 20/04/2011 11:15

Hi melies fx for ovulation this month

Bump sounds like quite a night

Went to the doctor today about my right hand pain and she cant find any reason for it and doesnt think it will affect the pregnancy in any way.

Going to clinic tomorrow for confirmation blood test....feeling terrified!!

Bumpwanted · 20/04/2011 11:53

Am coffee'd up so can now string a sentence together.

Hopeful that is really good news hun. Am sure you must be really nervous about the blood test but I am sure it will go well and hopefully you will feel a little less worried and more reassured afterwards. Will think of you tomorrow. What time are you going?

Loup sorry you got your AF. At least you can have a good time on hols and know that everything has been totally cleared out and is back to normal after the MC now.

Melies I hope you get your smiley face today. When did you start testing??

Morning Cep Collie Blackkat CHloe Olis Lily Minnie and everyone else!!

Well it was quite a night but not necessarily for good reasons! We were up really really late tidying the house as we have 6 people coming over for dinner tonight. I was also trying to prepare some of the food so it will be less manic when I get home. Ended up going up to bed at 1am and then DTD took ages........totally my fault but I think I was a bit nervous as I had a smiley face so I felt this huge amount of pressure!!!! So first off it wasn't going well and I didn't feel remotely like it and when we eventually did get going, I burst out laughing (for no reason whatsoever) at the key moment so we ended up stopping! Managed to get there in the end (TMI!!?) and whilst it was good, I didn't feel like it was one of those magical moments where sparks are flying in my uterus as the sperm and egg meet and form our child!!! Plus, the "deposit" !! ran back out again on my way to work....seriously how can that happen 7 hours later? It feels like I am 5 years old again and peed in my pants Blush

xx

YouRemindMeOfTheBabe · 20/04/2011 12:28

Hey bump. Glad to hear it's going wellGrin. Don't worry too much about the next day's deposit, for want of a better word. I have read that by the next day that it's pretty much seminal fluid, and not sperm. God knows how, but there you go.

Want to hear my interesting fact of the day? A man's body knows whether he is coming for his own self gratification, or if there's a chance of reproduction (ie a woman involved) and adjusts the amount of sperm accordingly! Bodies are weird..

cep good news! Huzzah for scannage.

loup sorry AF got you, but enjoy the holidays.

hopeful good luck with the test.

I am 6dpo, and want symptoms. I am trying to be optimistic though. Cycle 9 does not appeal.

Waves to all, hope you're well.

cep · 20/04/2011 13:56

afternoon all.

mels he's ok in small doses. Grin how are you doing?

hopeful fx for blood test.

bump i always laid down on my back with pelvis raised after dtd, just to give it an extra chance to get to the goal.

Loup23 · 20/04/2011 14:49

bump am laughing at your post - deposits always come out straight away for me but I always think of Boris Becker getting that girl pregnant in the broom cupboard! Think those swimmers get in there pretty quick!! Good luck

Bumpwanted · 20/04/2011 15:01

Thanks for the tip Cep!!

YRMOTB I know the feeling. I actually convinced myself I had some symptoms on Monday...until I got a positive on an OPK yest and it turns out I hadn't even ovulated by Monday...its still such early days for you yet. Hang in there though and don't prod your boobs too often to see if they hurt!

Loup oh don't get me wrong I get that too and have the great pleasure of sleeping in a wet patch....seriously...how much stuff can he be putting in there for more to come out later too!??????

I honestly don't know how any babies are made by people who have sex standing up...the sperm must fly through the air with their arms outstretched trying to grab onto something before they fall back out!

I have just re-read my post...for anyone who didn't read about my OPK testing yesterday I sound like a headcase...

"I think I was a bit nervous as I had a smiley face"

Mental....

stitchinline · 20/04/2011 15:58

:o at all the leakage talk. I also lie down for 20 minutes after and have also been know to do handstands Blush DH thinks I'm mad!

bump - I share your next day issues, always very confusing at OV time when trying to work out whose it is. With all that comes out seriously don't know how any gets up there to do the job. Definitely no standing at key DTD times.

CD10 here and time to start POAS to check for OV.

Waves to all, hope everyone is well. Lovely sunny day here so smiles are back on the face and might even have a cheeky Pimms after work.

meliesmummy · 20/04/2011 16:55

Good luck for tomorrow hopeful!

stitch we are cycle buddies then, we can calm each other down during the 2ww.

bump not much to add to your worries except Wink. and I do what Cep does with a pillow.

olismum23 · 20/04/2011 17:09

hey ladies,
Well CD 2 is being a b*h!
Feel so tired even though its only my second day of full flow i have not got my ample bottom to the gym in 5 days!!
Any way i may make myself go after dinner. I went to Lush and bought myself some henna hair dye looking forward to using it later on!
Hows everyone else??

cep glad bean is doing well how far along are you now?

stitch, bump, melies, yrmptb good luck!!!

sorry to all i have missed

cep · 20/04/2011 17:53

i got a few comments from dh at the time i have to admit. Grin

oli sorry af is being so bad. hope you get some energy soon.

I'm 11+4 now, which is weird, can't believe i'm nearly at 12 weeks already. i don't have my scan until the 5/5 so i'll be nearly 14 weeks then, but can finally tell people.

Minnie74 · 20/04/2011 20:32

Evening lovelies

bump sounds like it's going well Grin Thought my dp's sperm were of the leisurely swim variety but think we managed it this time on a quick one before work so maybe they're more of the flying up with outstretched arms type!

hopeful good luck with the test tomorrow.

loup enjoy the wine while you can Smile

Same old same old on the bleeding. Might try to get a scan out of the EPU then at least I'll know. Not holding out much hope as they were pretty adamant I'd need to wait a couple of weeks.

Just had row with dp as his mum rang to question me about 'this mc'. We'd decided not to tell parents to stop any worry from mine or nagging from his. So we both only told two really close friends. He swears blind he hasn't told her but as far as I can tell she's not psychic! Angry So now I feel guilty that my mum and dad don't know but didn't want to worry them unneccessarily. Was going to tell them when we knew for sure what was happening. Doesn't help that I don't get on with his mum anyway!

good luck to all waiting to test fx xxx

edwardcullensotherwoman · 21/04/2011 01:42

Hi ladies, sorry to barge in on your thread, but I'm after a bit of advice if you wouldn't mind helping? I mc'd 3 weeks ago, and was told I should wait until after my period to ttc, as I'm more at risk of another mc if I get pg in between. Never heard this before, anyone else been told this? I've always read (mainly on MN) that they only recommend that for dating purpose.
I feel really insensitive and mean in thinking this, but I am honestly fed up of bleeding and not having sex . I know there's nothing I can do, but it's so frustrating and i've been a total bitch to DH the last few days Blush Anyway, TIA for any help, and I hope I can join in somewhere over here again soon!

And I'd just like to say, my thoughts are with anyone going through mc, best wishes to everyone waiting to test, and congrats to any BFPs! x

Ninunina · 21/04/2011 07:21

Welcome to the thread edward, i'm sorry to hear that you're still suffering a mc. Bleeding for 3 weeks sounds like a long time. With regards to trying again, I really think your body will let you know when its ready. I didn't wait to dtd and got pg straight away. I'm 9+3 weeks now and all seems ok (fx). The doctors don't seem worried at all, the only difference is that I needed an early dating scan at 6 weeks to determine edd.

I really feel my body had returned to normal though. I didn't bleed a lot during the mc. It stopped completely after 1 week and I ovulated 14 days later.
Fx that you'll stop bleeding soon.
