What do we want? Positive pee sticks. When do we want them? NOW (and we are Brooking No Argument)

[whimsicalname]

The last couple of threads got lots of people pg. Let's hope this is another lucky one.

Hello spectra welcome, and hello again best. Sorry I didnt' include you in my newbie round up.

I'm super excited to have noticed the dragons

Did I mention I love dragons?

I hope they're still here tomorrow. They'd be such a handy emoticon for so many occasions.

Maybe so lovely to see you back in our collective heaving bussom, will have to look at the pup. And getting yourself booked on the marathon diffed to be sure

tock can not wait for new pups on the thread, my parents have a schnauzer who is a great little character

Smegs hope you managed to see your GP if your sickness is so bad

Pip sorry to hear you got BFN, try FMU later in the week

hello and welcome Spectra

All went well for the Sweeties this morning. DH said he struggled but managed in the end - bless him. He said it was a small sample, I don't think that will matter too much but we can mention it to the the consultant when we next see him.

sorry couldn't resist

Gah, af is definitely here.

Welcome spectra, we always need plenty of newbies as the bfp's come fast here!

8sweetie* what's FMU? xxx

pip, to answer your question for sweetie, FMU is First Morning Urine. It has the strongest concentration of pregnancy hormones in it, so should be used for early pregnancy tests. Hth

Thanks Little think my AF and yours may as well put their feet up and have a cuppca together!! My cycle is just all over the place. It was 36 days last month (never ever that long) not even 28 days month before!!! and I'm on day 30 now!!! :/ driving me insane!! xx

Almost ready to DTD, MrGeek is about to pop a blue pill and chill for an hour while it gets to work. I have my Conceive Plus lined up and am chomping at the bit. Two years... hell's teeth how have I coped???

Geek you sound like a star. Excuse the nosiness (who am I kidding, I love nosy) but what is your story?

Pip sorry about the BFN. My cycles were crazy for a bit after the pill too. It will calm down, I'm sure.

Best hello my dear! At least the DVD is out of the wrapper' it's a step in the right direction. Moved up to level 2 on ripped in 30 tonight' which following the 6 mile run yesterday, getting out of bed tomorrow may be interesting

Glad everything went well Sweetie, when are you back for the results?

Little this is the last you'll see of AF. Make the most of her.

Welcome Spectra this is the place for you as long as you come bearing baked goods

Imps thinking of you on your first day back. Hope you have loved it. What did you tell the PR lady in the end?.........

Have put a few puppy pics up too. Can't believe he is 7 months already! We went to see our baby niece when we were away, she is just learning to use her walker. Otis was too cute, he followed her everywhere. Must be a sign....

Ok, ignore that. Seems the iPad won't let me upload photos

maybe thanks, though I don't really feel like a star right now. In a nutshell, MrGeek and I have been together 11 years, never used any form of contraception as have always been happy for a 'happy accident' to occur. It never has. Various complications along the way, the most major being MrGeek being diagnosed with diabetes about 6-8 years ago. Cue very rapid descent into all things diabetes related. SWI/SFF have been nonexistent for over 2 years.

Sorry to say last night didn't happen. Neither of us coping v well with that. Starting to feel like I have spend a whole load of money/hope/dreams on something I am never destined to have. Feel like by acknowledging how important it has become to me to have a child that I have put MrGeek under huge amounts of stress and pressure he doesn't need. Really unfair on him.

Sorry for the negative post. Need to sort my head out and thought if I put some words on a page it might help.

Hi geek sorry to jump in, I just saw your post and wanted to say hi. I'm a very long time without contraception and no happy accidents person. Is very difficult to strike a balance I find. We are on month 3 of an actively trying deal (hence I discovered the online TTC world which somehow escaped me in the past). I can't really tell how long we have actively TTCed over the years, been very on and off; in part because of life and in part because it's so hard to sustain. I hate obsessing over it but the relaxed approach doesn't work for us obviously. Years ago a doctor said to me, 'just have sex everyday, it doesn't need to be more complicated than that'. Not sure what planet she lives on, planet sex, I guess.

I came off the pill in January. What are OPKs? I am totally new to all this. Xxx

Ovulation Predictor Kits - pee sticks that show a the presence of a hormone that in turn indicates that your body is 'gearing up' to ovulate. Some women find them useful to time baby-making sex.

Oh Geek you poor thing, hope you're ok. I hope you can see this a just a small set back and it is not a waste of your money/effort as you've been so patient as it is. Sometimes we forget how all of this effects our DHs. I really hope you can speak to your DH and come to some sort of agreement/plan that you are both comfortable with, other than that perhaps counselling may help?? Lots of hugs for you x

good luck sparkle, I'm a few days behind you. I could never use those damn pee sticks myself but I temp now and even though the rise means its over I seem to be fairly regular of ov, so I base timing on previous charts then confirm with the rise. Works for me, well actually not in the only sense that actually matters so far, please let me not be driving myself mad for nothing

Gosh I feel really rude but I saw Geeks post which sounded so sad I had to respond to her.

Big warm welcome to Spectra and Purple

Sorry about BFNs and also AF Pip & Little, sets loose the dragon on AF (has it gone already?)

So pleased to hear all went well for the Sweeties do you get the result soon?

Looking forward to those pics of pooch Maybe I have an iPad and I luff it!

Hooray for the Sweeties

Maybe how are the legs after all that?

Geek, I think going through all of that and still having a sense of humour about it definitely makes you a star!

Dragon that's how I did it prior to DD. In the extraordinarily unlikely case that I'm not already pregnant I'll go back to that. I'm having a month or so of pretending to being all que sera sera and chilled about it, then it's back to science and charts.

Sparkle pretty sure I'm also 3dpo, but luteal phase is usually 14 days here.

Hope everyone has a good day and better weather than here on the Fens. Glad I got the peas and beans in the ground yesterday.

Have you had any investigations Geek? I'm sure you've said but my brain is mush atm

Hello to spectra and best it's nice to have some new blood on here!!

geek I am sorry you sounded so down yesterday, it's really very difficult indeed and the DH's really feel the pressure. Are you having any investigations?

purple just have sex every day

I can't believe there was a dragon on here and I missed it, grrrrrrrr

I wonder if we carry on writing the script if we get a dragon?
