ok, as the january thread reached 1800 posts exactly, well it did at last count, I think it's time we started the February thread. Now February has lots going for it, valentines, extra reasons for BD, it only has 28 days, the average length of a menstral cycle, .. so me thinks feb will be a very positive month for all of us!

Happy BD to all! (((hugs))) xxx

hello wannaBe1974 only got 10 mins befor i go for ds

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 12:33

hellooo! gosh you lot wont hardly believe me butive only just got up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
felt like ive been drugged in my sleep!!!!! so so so tired! oh well, dh playing golf, i was only going to go into town, and its before payday anyway so i havent missed much there
no bd last night, we had a silly daft "argument" - all ok now though. really really got this feeling that im not going to be pg in feb, almost feel like i havent tried hard enough iyswim.
i think this is a general feeling i get about a lot of things, that it is my fault, that i havent got the result i want because i either havent wanted it badly enough, or because i havent tried hard enough......something to do with my efforts or aims?? daft i spose, but thats just the way i am. I so hope so though! my dh has said a few times, oh,you might be pg already! also my sis-in-law said to me "o you might be next , always comes in 3's" when i told her my bfriend was preg and that my sis is due to find out next week. GGGGrrrrr i know im being ridiculous trying to make all these coincidences and things just "fit" to the result i want!!!! cant help myself though
Hope everyone well and happy today xx x x

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 12:42

im reeeeeeeeeeeally tired if that helps?
prob just a combination of everything, you know being back at work, worryin about things, i dont know i really dont.
what day are we on, whens earliest i can test?

trace2 · 26/01/2006 12:44

not till 4 days befor, am due on 4th, and i will get af, because am not ovulating, so am keeping fingers crossed fpor you hun,

have you any more symptoms? what day you due is it same as me?

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 12:51

yes due on same day hun. is 4th next saturday? Havent got my calendar in here.
also, somethng weird happened when in loo early this morning. when i wiped, looked like a bit of mucousy bloody (sorry if tmi..)stuff. also had a bit of stuff that looked like it does when you very first start your af.
i know ive never had any kind of "spotting" or stuff like this before in between periods.
apart from the obv, why else do you get coloured stuff in between?

trace2 · 26/01/2006 12:58

ohhh am getting giddy now, lets just stay calm but i realy hope so, yes its sat you can test on 31st, maybe you are a jan like what the cards said

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:08

yes lets try to remain calm!!!!!!!31st is a long way off

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:10

i know its hard but dont build your hopes to much, because if your not you'll be worse for feeling it, so will just chat ok

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:12

yes exactly, that is by far the worst thing about all this trying for a baby businesss. tis not the trying, but the waiting which is the worst thing you can put yourself through . the waiting, the hoping, the slow realisation that its not happened again and that you have to get yourself together so you can start the whole damn thing again . pretty really isnt it all?

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:17

ive a blood test tomorrow

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:17

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:20

nope at hospital, because am not ovulating so they have to do befor they refer me

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:25

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:28

trace2 · 26/01/2006 13:34

ok thank you pussycat

pussycatmomma · 26/01/2006 13:50

right hun.........if this is first bloodtests you are having, it says this-
"Blood tests will be first investigation if you are having problems concieving, and will tell your dr if there are any probslems with
-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels
-Oestradiol levels
-Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels
-Prolactin levels
-Progesterone
Additional tests can be run on a blood sample to check for:
-full blood count
-thryroid hormone levels
-rubella
-toxoplasmosis
-cmv
-inhibin b

It continues to say -
"Follicle stimulating hormone is produced in the pituitary gland: as its name suggests, it stimulates the follicles to produce oestrogen; it also stimulates the ovary to produce an egg. The oestrogen produced then in turn affects the pituitary gland to slow down the production of FSH. This is called "negative feedback"; the effect keeps the FSH level low under normal circumstances. The lower the FSH level, the better this will be read by your doctor on days 1-3, in conjunction with oestradiol levels; a raised FSH Level is an indication that the ovaries are beginning to struggle, higher levels of FSH are necessary to produce the same effects"

Phew! sorry i am not very fast at typing darling.
Does this help?
Sounds like they are making preliminary tests, and the book also says that lots of women assume they are not ovulating but they really are.
