How gutted to log on and find that someone had beaten me to the 1000 post and I couldn't update on the old thread.

Particularly as I got my BFP last night!!! I'd had two BFNs last week and was expecting AF to arrive while on holiday but it never came... Got more and more convinced that I was pg (feeling a bit sick too) as the weekend went on and literally tested within 10 mins of arriving home. Poor DH was still unloading the car as I greeted him at the door with my pink line!

Very excited although a bit apprehensive too. Really want to tell everyone but obviously don't want to this early so am REALLY pleased I have all you lovely ladies on MN to share with.

I was too excited to do more than skim the last few pages on the last thread but did see there had been several other BFPs so congratulations to all those too!

hey dee big fat boooooo to AF, bitch.

You can set CBFM up to day 5 so save your £ and order from amazon, or there are some pharmacy sites which are same price as amazon and send next day for free - google CBFM cheap prices and the comparisons should come up...

in a rush to get out or would try find the link for you........

signet2012 · 25/11/2011 12:07

Big hag got me this morning too.

Onto the next plane/bus/flying mattress

Rusulka · 25/11/2011 14:38

A flying mattress would be awesome!

We could all just lie on it with our legs in the air and drink cups of tea through straws.

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 25/11/2011 14:58

Oooh like the idea of a flying mattress.......quite apt! Grin

They must sort out the Xmas emoticons soon.......yes?

Notinmykitchen · 25/11/2011 17:00

Dee and Signet sorry to hear AF got you, damn her!!!

Berries I can't believe your boss said that, surely you are not allowed to discriminate against part time workers! What a git!! I would give him a damn good ignoring! Know what you mean about pregnant friends as well, part of me understands its human nature to moan, but its hard hearing people moaning about something you want so much!

Rusulka go on, get the chandeliers, I'd love some but I have a tiny house and they'd look ridiculous!

Festie fingers crossed your DH has long living sperm! Either way, definite progress if you are now ov'ing!

Moowoo Finger firmly crossed that you have managed to ov naturally, you sooo deserve it!

Liliana it must be tricky deciding what to do Wed. I would not know what to do in your shoes!

I cheered myself up last night by reading through a load of old MN threads about what symptoms people had before finding out they were pregnant. It seems anything goes, so all my current AF symptoms could just as easily be pregnancy symptoms. It made me realise there is always hope until the fat lady shows her ugly red face, and even then there is always next month!

Discolite · 25/11/2011 18:57

Hello people.

Well, I'm feeling pissed off like a lot of you! AF appeared this morning after a ridiculous SIX days of spotting. I'm just trying to make myself better by thinking that at least:

a) I won't have an August baby (although I wouldn't have said no to one, believe you me!).

b) I have wine and chocolate.

c) I have a doctor's appointment on Monday about said spotting so now have a full five cycles of data to wave under his nose.

So Dee and Signet I know how you are feeling (crampy and crabby most likely).

Rusulka great poem and I say - get the chandelier! I have three and they cheer me up every time I turn the lights on!

Berries your boss sounds like a right twat. If I were you I'd start keeping a diary of comments like that as evidence in case that sort of unpleasantness escalates.

Liliana glad the classroom survived intact! I share mine with ooh, around ten different teachers all of whom seem to have a very different idea to me of what constitutes a tidy room. It can be pretty annoying.

Festie maybe the teeth constitute your third thing in the whole 'bad luck comes in threes' idea. So good luck from now on for you, I reckon!

I vote when this thread gets to 1000 messages that the phrase 'flying mattress' is in there somewhere.

Right, off to do some serious boozing. Enjoy your friday nights everyone!

iloveberries · 25/11/2011 21:45

disco - i feel so peed off on your behalf. BUT I would totally agree with your feeling good it's not an august baby (even though none of us would say no to one!!!!) and also get stuck in to the wine and chocs.... basically whatever will make you feel better love.

i've been drinking very little for 5 months now and it's had no effect so i am back to my usual wine levels now. I figure this getting pregnant thing is total fluke so just go for it on the right days and hope.

disco and kitchen you are right a lot of what he says to me is totally unnacceptable. I have actually noted lots of it down and the last meeting i had other people were there too so i have people who can vouch for me. It's just such a miserable time at the moment.

Hanging out with all the pregnant ladies was ok today..... it's always nice actually, i just dread it in advance.

Hope you all have fun weekends planned. We're off to stay with friends so hope you all have nice weekends and i'll hope to read of some BFPs on monday.

Chin up ladies, we'll all get there :) xxx

louloubellamozzarella · 25/11/2011 22:26

Quite right berries enjoy your wine. It's only bad if you drink lots and often so the odd bottle glass or two is fine for you - just relax and enjoy :)

Oh and what your boss said is utterly bastardly and illegal. Part time workers should be treated the same as f/t ones. Even the fact that your work has changed that much does not reflect well on your employers! Agree with disco - I think you should keep a log of that kind of comment in case you need some evidence to go back to in the future.

Day 10 in the big SWI house (to be said in geordie accent)... and loulou is despairing at yet another 'low' CBFM reading. Looks like I'm a late 0v-er as thought then!

Sorry bout AF disco, signet and deelite - and grr to early AF AND stupid amount of spotting - strange how TTC seems to mess our cycles up - I think it must be something to do with stress and therefore encourage you all to join me in some tea/wine drinking accompanied by plentiful chocolate and biscuits this weekend Brew

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 26/11/2011 06:16

Here here loulou to the wine, biscuits and SWI!!!

Aaaaargh to the hag whore! She needs a good kick in the rectal sphincter! Sorry that she got you signet, deelite and disco

This cycle we are jolly well going to kick her into touch!!

Well a bit more positive her, temp rose again this morning one more fairly hefty rise tomorrow (I need it to be at least 36.32) and I will not only officially be in the 2ww but I will have ov'd as well! Huzzah.......huzzah!!

Now come on little ovaries, play nice and produce a golden eggy for those dutiful spermies to swim towards and lets get this party started 🎉

festiemum · 26/11/2011 06:56

I have got my fingers crossed so hard for you moo!

Thanks Disco, I too am hoping that that's my run of bad luck done now.

Flying mattress - brilliant! :o

loulou, can I have my biscuits and choc mushed up for the time being? Thanks! Wink

My temps are staying right up there, so I definitely ov-ed on CD10 (wtf?!)

Very glad I am ov-ing again though, and let's face it; with a funeral and teeth out, it was never going to be a month of SWI! :o

Have a lovely weekend all! Xx

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 26/11/2011 07:28

Oh festie!! At least you know you def ov'd and remember the spermies can live for up to 5 days in fertile conditions!! As oggy proved to us it only takes one time am also crossing everything hard for you (even my legs now Grin) that you will very soon be moving boards :)

Well a turtle this morning has shown my CP to be high, soft(ish) and closed!!! Is it wrong to be this excited??

Am off to the office now to revise, fun times!!

Will check in later more frequently than I should!!

Liliana1 · 26/11/2011 09:22

Ohh sounds positive moowoo fx for a ov.

festie you never know and at least you have ov'd

I want a flying mattress!!! Def think the new thread needs to be entitled with such.

OMG berries your boss sounds worse than mine. He doesn't like part timers either but at least he doesn't say it out loud!! Def keep notes of what he says and when. Hope you never need it but just in case.

Am off to a christmas craft course day today so hopefully that will get me in the festive mood. Enjoy the weekend all

iloveberries · 26/11/2011 16:31

Thanks all
I am trying to post from my phone so excuse any errors. Yeah, talking to people about boss has made me realise what a total arsed he is so I am planning to really try and do something about it in the new year. Been upset about work all weekend and keep randomly crying and that's not right I know. The good thing is that by crossing the line so far he's actually given me some good ammo. Twat.
mooley fingers crossed for you pet.
Enjoy your saturdays everyone x

Countmyblessings · 26/11/2011 17:06

hello all - just a quickie im off out! new hairdo so loving it, feeling quite nice right now!

MooWoo- ohhhhhh sounds good with the temps and turtle checks will have all crossed for you!
festie - ahhhhhhhhh so sorry sendng big hugs and the cloud will soon clear and he sun will be out for you removing all negative to be replace with the positives!!!!!!!!!

Blue- how you doing??? hope all is well with you.

Disco - how about " Flying mattress 2012, all aboard to our BFP!!!!"

DeeLite · 26/11/2011 17:29

Thanks for all the sympathy for AF. She doesn't seem to be quite here yet after all. I had something in between spotting and light flow of mainly brown but some fresh blood (sorry, TMI) yesterday morning but nothing since. I got all excited last night after googling "implantation bleeding" and finding that lots of people experience implantation as being quite a bit of bleeding including fresh blood. I had some fresh spotting this afternoon though so am back to thinking the game's over. I had the same thing last month too but it didn't start so early - 7dpo this month. Anyway, so much for not obsessing. I've been going to the loo non-stop all day to check the status of things and have spent way too much time online googling implantation bleeding. Why can't I just wait and rely on the fact that time will tell? Answer: because I'd quite like to get sozzled tonight if AF is here Grin.

Discolite when did your spotting start? Was it six days before you were expecting AF or has AF come late? Did you go through all this "is it or is it not implantation bleeding" or do you have more sense than me?

Berries sorry to hear that your boss is such an asshole. Good advice from others that you should keep notes of everything that's said and the way your role has changed. Good to keep a note of dates too. That way you are fully armed if he makes trouble when you get back from maternity leave after the baby that you're TTC now. Thanks for your advice on the CBFM. We bought one through an online chemist and it arrived today but we were out so it's gone to the depot and I'll collect it Monday now I know that I can start anywhere up to CD5.

Moowoo I'm so sorry to hear about your possible PCOS. Sounds like you've ov'd this month though so fx the egg and spermies get together and do their thang (you can tell I didn't study biology at school!).

Countmyblessings have a good night. A haircut can do wonders for a night out.

Congrats to all the BFP's in the month since I last posted. It's very encouraging to see so many ladies being upgraded to first class.

Dx

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 26/11/2011 18:18

Evening all!! Thanks for all the positivity!! Really hope I ov and we crack it this month! Just got 3 appointments!! One for my gynaecologist appointment, one for my smear test Grin and one for my ultrasound! Unfortunately for some reason my ultrasound went to the inlaws house (we used to live there for a bit) even though I have changed Drs and all other correspondence comes to my current address!! After the MiL seeing our preseed the other week tongues definitely will be wagging over this! Worse still, DH's dad is a GP Shock and has already been asking DH questions!

count bet you look gorgeous with your new 'do' hope you have a great night!

liliana hope you had fun at the craft course!! I'm planning to make my own wreaths this year!! God help us all Grin

Enjoying a bottle Glass of wine tonight! feeling a bit guilty though just in case spermies have met eggy although I doubt it just yet!!! Need that temp shift tomorrow!!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!

eggandtoastedsoldiers · 26/11/2011 18:34

Hi all, been in hiding since the af got me. So will this flight be turning into an aug/sept one?

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 26/11/2011 19:25

egg of course it will :) we are going no-where (well apart from the pg boards!!)

eggandtoastedsoldiers · 26/11/2011 19:34

Aye I hope to be on the other board sometime soon. I picked up a clear blue monitor but it's more of a new years thing. ( next month is crazy for traveling and holidays). Maybe we never need to use it :)

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 27/11/2011 07:29

:( Angry Confused Hmm this is how I feel this morning!! Stupid bloody body playing silly buggers! I am completely fed up with it all!!

Sorry!! Too early for this I know, just very very frustrated at the moment!!!

Liliana1 · 27/11/2011 12:06

What have your temps done this AM Moowoo? Sorry your on such an emotional rollercoaster. Guessing your il's are getting some ideas in their heads! Glad you are on good terms with them, I would never want that with mine!

Egg we will all be transferring to a flying mattress when this thread is full but no-ones getting off until the BFP! Nice to see you back and hope you new year pressie won't be needed!

Dee I'm not that clued up about implantation spotting (having never had it or cause to spend hours googling which I would if I thought I had it!) hope it is as seems v early for af spotting. Did you have a few Wine last night? I'm sure it would be ok even if it is implantation :)

Count - are you my friend? She turned up with a lovely new hair do last night?!?! Love the way a new style can lift your mood

Disco think we have our new title sorted, now to get as many to the BFP before we need it.

Had a lovely day yesterday and think it was really needed. Now I need to mark my sats papers that I've been putting off :( Dh has gone to a bike show so no more excuses left (apart from chatting to you all on MN!)

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 27/11/2011 12:23

lil temps dropped back down this morning, i just don't get it! CM seems to have all but dried up as well (mainly sticky with hints of cream!) I am just getting to the point where i can no longer be bothered with the whole thing; there is clearly no point if I am not ov'ing and with long cycles I just don't have the energy to SWI EOD for the duration!!

Plus I am sinking fast under a mound of paperwork and I have an assessment on Friday and I think it has all just finally got on top of me!

I need to snap out of it and stop being so self indulgent and obsessed! Maybe a step back from MN for a while might help me sort my head out Confused

festiemum · 27/11/2011 14:11

Oh mooley, I'm so sorry your body's playing silly buggers. It must be so dispiriting to SWI EOD religiously over such long cycles, only to find no egg has been released. I can't imagine how depressing that must be. Thanks

Still, you are one step closer to getting some answers and treatment. I know exploratory appointments won't solve the problem, but perhaps they will make you feel like something's happening.

Big hugs to you this afternoon mool, we're all rooting for you my love. xx

festiemum · 27/11/2011 14:13

lil - I do SATs marking in the summer, so can I just offer a Shock of horror at the ides of yours?! :o

festiemum · 27/11/2011 14:14

*idea obviously! bah!
