Haha, sorry about that Stasi you will get that BFP, so stay excited Grin

Pop I agree, I am convinved I may have ovd the day after, which would make me 10 DPO today. My boobs are sorer than yesterday [phmm] But I think I am not going to get excited as this is my first chart.

Imps I have been looking at some poeple's chart on FF, and they have gotten dips before BFPs. So who knows......

x-post with Stasi and Imps I think dh is trying to understand and getting confused. I guess all will be answered on Friday.

farfallarocks · 08/02/2012 12:18

cakes just a word of warning, at 6 weeks you could very well see nothing at all, especially if your dates are slightly out so don't panic if that is the case. I was told by my consultant ot wait until 7 weeks as by that point they can usually see a heartbeat.

imps I am so :( about your SIL and also AF. Brooking extra hard for bean and Stasi.

bean you are right, DHs do not like professional help, well at least my repressed husband does not! We were watching a film last night where a chap has ahem, issues and he was laughing away and then said, Oh I don;t know why I am laughing, I am just as bad. We had a giggle about it and I reassured him he is not impotent (gah!). We are talking at least which is progress. My dates fall nicely for some weekend ovulation this month followed by a well timed holiday next month so I think I can have 2 months of appearing nonchalant before bringing it up again. He has got himself into a right state and I think talking baout it will make it worse. this weekend I will talk to him seriously about job changes,

I promise to stop moaning now brookers. One for all and all for one :)

Cakes I agree with everyone else that the doctor is just being cautious because of that spotting. Let us know how you get on. As for your DH, men just don't have a clue. When my SIL was pregnant after a mmc she went for a private scan at 8 wks. My DH was amazed she would have to wait until 12wks on the nhs as he was also puzzled how could they wait so long without making sure there was a baby in there!

Have you got a date for your HSG then Stasi?

Imps now I've got everything crossed that AF doesn't show up. We have an exciting few days of BFPs to look forward to Smile

Pop I am a bit worried that I started dtd too early this month but now I've started I scared to stop in case my peak is just round the corner if you know what I mean.

beangrower · 08/02/2012 13:47

Cups - it's good tdt lots, nice fresh sperm. As long as your Mr is up for it...

Cakes - keep cool and relax, even though that prob' isn't helpful. A scan is a good thing.

Stasi's HsG is imminent I believe?

Far - sounds like you are taking a good approach with your stressed feller (laughter, even if slightly hysterical, is a cure don't you know). A holiday is what you both need and deserve. I hope it's a winner for you in many ways.

Loving the look of Maybe's chart (finally). Keeping fx for you lady.

Beedle - weather fiend.

I don't normally have any worries about a short LP - could just be this month though there's nothing coming on now. Yes - I get more smacks of the elusive rat I suppose Grin. I'm pretty sure it's not implantation - sorry to be boring but I had nothing of the sort when DS was burrowing his way into the world.

Whims - I often try to reassure myself that a 3-yr gap would be better for me, DP and DS. It's just that I feel the pressure of turning 40... Of course, ironically, my age is a very good reason to give myself a longer gap. I would just be grateful for another baby so I really don't mind what the gap is. Plus I get a sneaky little voice more often these days telling me 1dc might make life a lot easier. (We will stop trying in 6 months time if no pg.) The pressure is easing off in other words. And I'm still keen to foster in a couple of years time.

TTFN all. BFPs galore please.

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 13:48

Oooh Far excellent progress! His making a joke and giggling about his "problem" is waaay better than getting upset or (worse) going completely silent. Sounds like you have two excellent months to not talk about anything remotely TTC related whilst still making a baby. Hurrah!

you had a temp drop at BFP time you say? Interesting... Although you didn't have pre-AF spotting at the same time did you? You won't fool me, I'm onto you girls!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 14:08

Far that's great that you are able to laugh about things, definitely a corner turned there! And brilliant news that you are going to have a stree-free ov for the next few months Smile

Bean maybe your body is just playing games. Mine likes to do that all the time. I am still gbrooking for an implantation bleed though....

musical had spotting, and I am fairly sure a good few of the PSEPPs had them too

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 14:21

ahhh, but I doubt that any PSEPP had a combination of falling temperatures AND spotting! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 14:24

I am not sure, but there is a first for everything Grin

PopcornMouse · 08/02/2012 14:24

You can be the first, Imps :o

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 14:40

You're right - why the hell not, eh? Grin

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 14:58

Grin that's the spirit Imps

I am having a shitter of a day. I feel like I am going to explode and thump someone soon. I don't normally get so wound up, but today I very much am.

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 15:09

Hmmm would it help for me to point out that extreme anger = raging hormones = upduffedness?

Stasi · 08/02/2012 15:17

I took on a bus full of people last night. They were laughing and commenting on a gentleman with mental health issues, I finally lost it and turned around and had a go at them. I usually have trouble talking to anyone I don't know, but last night 15 people were easy game!

Cupcakes my HSG is booked for the 16th, just over a week away.

PopcornMouse · 08/02/2012 15:19

Wow, good for you stasi and a big well done - I wish more people would stand up for the vulnerable! That book's going in the mail tomorrow btw, I am so disorganised Blush

Bad day at work maybe ? :(

ScarlettInSpace · 08/02/2012 15:20

Afternoon all, how's things? lots of whispering going on round here Hmm

I have a blocked nose and a head full of snot. bleurgh.

ScarlettInSpace · 08/02/2012 15:23

stasi well done you on the bus [i thought you meant a thread on here at first, time to step away from the monitor lol], people are twats sometimes.

Did you feel all strong and liberated afterwarsd? or did you sit there for 10 stops waiting for someone to say something back? I might've done a big flounce off the bus myself after something like that lol x

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 15:23

Ooooh, Stasi good for you. maybe we both you are upduffed Smile

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 15:29

Pops sorry, yes it is. You know when it is just other people's incompetency that really gets your goat?

Stasi · 08/02/2012 15:29

To be honest I thought I was going to have a heart attack after! I get really nervous when public speaking, and it was a bit like that. Chest pains, pounding heart, sweating... I sat there for the last few stops listening to them making each other feel better about it. "Oh I was only talking to my friend" "How was I meant to know he had mental health issues" etc.

Maybe of course we're both updiffed! At least we are until proven otherwise.

Popcorn it's ok, I'm the most disorganised person I know :)

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 15:29

Well done Stasi - good for you! I can't stand twats.

PopcornMouse · 08/02/2012 15:34

Aww maybe not long to go now, almost home time! :( Have a Wine

Have I ever shared this blog with you all? It's soooo funny if you're a sewer/knitter/crocheter/general maker :o

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 15:39

Grin Pop that has made me smile for the first time today!! Thanks for the Wine I could murder a glass!

Stasi you did good. I am not one for public speaking either, but I hate ignorance.

Scarlett sorry you are feeling rubbish. Get home and in the warm

Imps7 · 08/02/2012 15:39

She shouldn't be drinking Wine in her condition Pops Wink

I'll read the blog even though I'm none of those things!

beangrower · 08/02/2012 16:03

Hurray for Stasi. Meanwhile, I have been equally meritorious as a star consumer today, by purchasing:

1 bag of chinese herbs
1 tub of pistachio gelato (a pity purchase after a freebie when I went for soya decaf capp - eh?)
2 (mens) gloves, lined, with handy patches of suede, also fingerless - but get this - flaps to make mittens or pin back!
1 pack chinese crackers with seaweed
1 pack sprouting aflaflaflaflfla
1 scale wizard (scale in our house has just got too much)

And I ordered DP onto ebay to get us a new mixer tap for our bathroom as DS is getting tired of being flannel-washed at the sink.

And they say there's an economic crisis.
