Me first this time. Smile

It may only be May 4th, but I'm out for this month (although technically AF due 30th May - I just like starting new threads).

Hi all, just back from a lovely week away to see how you are all doing. My af arrived with a vengeance today, and am feeling awful tbh. V dissapointed not to be pg as I know we all are. Lets keep at it! xx

Sorry to hear that sexonlegs Sad - know how you feel. Better luck this time.

Hi Peachy. Thing is, once I start thinking about any symptoms I get really convinced, and if they're in black and white on the screen it makes it worse, so I thought maybe I'd try just ignoring my body completely this month.

Maybe. Smile

Hi Hopecat, fingers crossed for you too xx

Natty1806 · 21/05/2006 08:51

Hi Hopecat

Not too sure why my periods are so far apart and slightly irregular but am in the process of having this looked into.

peachygirl · 21/05/2006 13:47

Hi, I'm around if anyone is too,I'm tidying but always ready for a bit of distraction.

coggy · 21/05/2006 14:08

Helllloooooooo........!
I'm around now fpr a while too...and as the May thread has gone a bit quiet (Trace is away and there aren't too many of us on there) I'm going to gatecrash this one today for a while!! Wink

Hopecat..I too wish that I won't be staying.
Lots of cramps like premenstr. but they have been going on for about 6/7 days now.
Wierd - Trace said it could be implanation and every now and again I think it could be but I don't won't to get my hopes up.
I have looked for cramps on the internet as pg symptoms but nothing.
wait and see I guess.......
..........but it's haaaaarrrrrrddddd!!!!

cazzybabs · 21/05/2006 14:35

Hello - am sad - last month 4 days late (evily raising my hopes and then month 3 days early!)...sigh...ahh well there is always next month!

maazaa · 21/05/2006 14:36

hello all - anyone still around? am on cd 10 or 11 - can't remember. quite chilled out - going for the bd every other day but not organised - has just worked out that way!

peachygirl · 21/05/2006 14:40

Hi I am still here alhough sort of deep in tidying. we are both very messy and it's starting to get to me. our bedroom is supposed to be an oasis of calm ,conducive to love and relaxation most nights it looks like a bomb site!
day 7 for me have decided to go with the persona again - even though I sad I wouldn't, so have missed one test but not to worry

maazaa · 21/05/2006 14:42

my sympathy.....we are messy too but i reach the "i can't stand it any longer" point sooner than dh does! he's out for day, so will tidy up (again) and do a roast dinner!

peachygirl · 21/05/2006 14:43

a roast too, that very good! we are going to make a banna cake (from recipe on here) later as I am fed up of throwing manky bananas away

maazaa · 21/05/2006 14:57

to be fair, am not busting a gut....aunt bessies roast pots, sainsburys ready veg and beef to bung in for hour! banana cake sounds yum!

peachygirl · 21/05/2006 15:02

We haven't baked at home for ages... so it might not be so yum!

stol · 21/05/2006 17:28

Hi everyone, Hope that there is lots of BD going on if possible Grin i have a question and sorry if TMI , I am on CD 14 today, yesterday i noticed i think was EWCM ( only be TTC for 2 months so not noticed what it was before really) We BD last night as im trying to aim for every other night until CD 24!!!! , today i have no EWCM , do you think that yesterday i may have OV, i normally have 30 day cycle??

I dont post that much but read the thread often and just reading it give me support , Thank you

Sexonlegs · 21/05/2006 21:29

Sorry to be so naive but what is EWCM? xx

peachygirl · 21/05/2006 22:42

egg white cervical mucus, the slippy strechy kind when you are fertile. Have a look \link{http://www.fertilityuk.org\here} go to indcators and it will tell you all about it

coggy · 22/05/2006 16:26

I'm here.

My 'friend's' dp phoned to tell me that her one and a half hour old baby boy was feeding well and totally georgous (did I need to know any details?!) and then less than two hour later AF appears.

Life's just great!

coggy · 22/05/2006 16:27

I can't even get the bold thing right!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggh......

peachygirl · 22/05/2006 16:58

I'm really sorry coggy , onwards and upwards!! fingers crossed for June

That's rotten coggy Sad. Which CD were you on?

This is only your 2nd month of clomid isn't it?

You and Wannabe on the same day. Boo.

OP posts:
coggy · 22/05/2006 17:49

Only first month but you know I expected great things!
Feel REALLY fed up today (not like me and only a couple of days ago I was telling you to perk up!!)

It's my ds birthdate next week and I really thought that I would actually have a baby before that anniversary came round...here I am not even pg.

All the people in my ante-natal group are getting ready to celebrate first birthdays and I feel really sad today.

coggy · 22/05/2006 17:52

I ALWAYS look on the bright side of life and, even though I am horribly sad, at least I know that the clomid has worked in making my luteal phase longer.

I was CD28 (which is quite normal) but had hcg jab to bring on ov. on CD15 so I would have had about 11 days in between.

I just feel like I have been so good and patient and I STILL haven't got my baby....

peachygirl · 22/05/2006 18:03

Sorry to hear your are feeling low coggy. I think lots of us have felt like this and its especially worse when you feel terrible on the first day of AF too.
Just remember we are all here to help you through this

maazaa · 22/05/2006 18:33

Am so sorry Coggy - I can only sympathise as I am a newbie to the ttc lark/debacle. I am sorry you feel so blue and have my fingers crossed that things will improve very soon. xx

Hopecat · 22/05/2006 19:48

Coggy: my turn to tell you to perk up! Actually, you don't have to perk up today though.

Sometimes feeling sad can be a really rich experience and help you to get over things. I know that AF is a regular visitor (if we're lucky) and it seems silly, but if you've been ttc for a while I reckon it's a good idea to go easy on yourself and have a little 'mourn' - then bounce back ready for the next round of bd-ing.

Us English naturally respond to that as self-indulgent, but I think that if it helps you get back to your usual self more quickly, then actually it's less self-indulgent than supressing your feelings and spiralling into low-grade depression, which doesn't help anyone and affects your relationships.

Am I ranting? Didn't mean to - got verbal diarrhoea. Lost my voice so I haven't been able to talk all day.

Anyway Coggy, hope you feel your old self soon. Smile
