thanks for the welcome chaps - I've posted my link on the other thread. I am far too fascinated by all this. DS was a contraception lapse lovely accident so it's all quite new to me. Am trying not to freak out DH with talk of cervix-fondling etc.

Scrummybumb · 03/08/2011 20:56

Yup. Better keep that to yourself, as you need him eager for all that SWI Grin

spout · 04/08/2011 09:40

Sorry that this is such a short visit to your lovely thread - I had a BFP this morning. Had completely convinced myself that this month wasn't a go-er until I woke up this morning with a weird pulling sensation around the womb area. I'm in a bit of shock! Masses of luck to you all.

jaggythistle · 04/08/2011 12:25

good job spout!

yup, hope you're leaving us some luck. :)

cd 14 here, for some reason i am shocked that the 2ww feeling is away to hit me - this cycle has gone past quickly so far. should be laying an egg in the next few days.

digitalgirl · 04/08/2011 12:39

Congratulations spout I looked at your chart yesterday and had a feeling you'd be a one post wonder! Grin

Chart got a little bit more exciting this morning. Although it's not really till CD15 that I tend to get a drop, so it could be nothing.

jaggy isn't it great when you suddenly realise that you're a few weeks into your cycle already.

fx digital. will stalk you later as i normally crash my phone with FF homepages!

yeah it's good to have a bit of the waiting done already.

we missed out an SWI last night as DH was feeling rough. I'm not working today and have just got DS down for a nap, so went off to find him for a quickie. Blush he's outside all excited fitting a wee part to his car and won't come in FFS! no lunch for him until SWI has occurred. obsessed...me? Grin

jaggythistle · 04/08/2011 13:07

he appeared just as i hit post- must have seen the look i gave him! Grin

havealittlefaithbaby · 04/08/2011 17:48

DH often reads my posts over my shoulder! Did you feed him in the end jaggy?
digital that looks positive! :)

jaggythistle · 04/08/2011 19:31

Yeah, I let him escape and have soup :)

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 06:20

Ha jaggy will if you want him to perform he must have sustenance!
Think the end is night for this month my chart showed a big temp drop. Nor below cover line but low enough alongside very af like cramps :(

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 06:29

Damn FF, it's always this point in my cycle I start searching through the charts to find charts like mine that were pregnancy!

jaggythistle · 05/08/2011 09:05

oh, I've resisted that for a few months have, was easier last month with no temps though! spent ages every other month going 'oh that pg chart looks sooo like mine'...

my temps are a load of mince this month, i think I've maybe managed to take 2 after the suggested 3 hours sleep and at sort of the right time. will be hard to spot a rise at this rate.

might try pouncing at nap time today while i can, will prob be easier than tonight when we're full of wine and dinner. Grin

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 13:35

Tricky charting in your circumstances jaggy! Try after your nap, ooh I'd love a nap. Can confess here I'm feeling very cynical don't tell the brooking girls and down. I'm having lots of cramps. Can't believe af will come yet, only cd23, shortest ever is 25 so surely not due til Monday at the earliest? Luteal phase has been 13 or 15 days and this month it reckons I ov'd cd11.....Hmm am I overthinking this?!

jaggythistle · 05/08/2011 13:47

aw sorry you're feeling pants. :( it's hard not to sometimes though.

seeing as i haven't hit the 2ww quite yet, I'm kind of up and down. one day i think 'surely it'll be this month', the next i can see myself still grumping and charting next year!

will be putting my happy face on this afternoon, visiting a friend who is expecting number 2 in 3 months time. i always worry that i look Envy all the time - as if she can read my mind!

with DS turning 2 next month, it seems to be prompting even more people to ask if we're thinking about another. if only we just had to think about it! i just gibber something inane like 'oh, I'm sure we'll get round to it' while feeling like poo.

ok we need to do some serious brooking to make up for this have!

sorry i went a bit me me me there, sometimes a wee grumble helps i suppose! Blush

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 18:15

Bleurgh! I'm sat on the sofa now watching ANTM :) SO bad it's good. Hmm Hmm when to test?!

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 18:21

Hope you had a fun afternoon out jaggy. digital how you doing?

digitalgirl · 05/08/2011 19:51

Trying really hard to ignore the stash of Internet cheapies I have upstairs. I promised dh I'd wait till tomorrow. Ideally I'd wait till Monday so I could spend the weekend in ignorance.

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 20:06

digital your chart looks blooming marvellous!

digitalgirl · 06/08/2011 07:18

Thanks faith glad to see your temp went back up again.

I tested - and it was positive, so fingers crossed that all the drugs I'm on will help this one stick. Will stop temping now as I'm going to be on progesterone supplements which will keep my temp elevated anyway.

It's a shame the mc's have made this such an underwhelming event for me - but getting a bfp is just the first step in a long road. Good luck to all of you.

havealittlefaithbaby · 06/08/2011 08:19

Well congratulations digital! :) I'm not surprised from your chart. I can't imagine how strange it must be. What happens next for you? I'll pray this is a sticky bean!

jaggythistle · 06/08/2011 09:44

congratulations on the bfp digital, really really hope it's a sticky happy bean and the medication does the trick. :)

Scrummybumb · 06/08/2011 10:29

Congratulations digital it's the first hurdle overcome now. Best of luck with the rest of the journey.

Me, I've started my usual pre-AF spotting. 2 days earlier than usual Sad

havealittlefaithbaby · 06/08/2011 11:00

jaggythistle · 06/08/2011 13:10

AuntieDoris · 06/08/2011 14:42

Bollocks. Temp has dropped. Generally quite fuckethed off now.
