Oh dear coffee hope your feeling a bit better now! Good luck with getting a positive OPK soon :)

I'm impatient too, what to get started with the EMSP :)

Coffee1Sugar · 18/05/2013 18:02

Just described my cm to my sister in precise detail over the phone! Don't think she appreciated my frankness but heyho. Dp has been helping a friend move house today so pretty sure he'll be too knackered for sexytime later. Might have to be a case for the "nice knickers" to entice...

Well my withdrawal bleed finished yesterday, so to celebrate jumped DH this morning, I guess you could say I am on CD5 but only been off the pill for a week. How did the panties work out Coffee?

Coffee1Sugar · 19/05/2013 17:47

Zero sexytime last night as dp didn't get home til 10.30 and I was sparko. But overload of cm today so as soon as the bloody football is over and my roast dinner has blessed my belly, I'm going for it! CD12 today.

Hi everyone. Hope you're all okay. I had an unplanned night out on Friday and yes I met a randomer and we "made love" and he has taken my number but I'll ramble about that in a minute. which was C.D 6
I have a question I would like all you very clever ovulation experts to answer "Is it possible to ovulate on day 6 (which was 1 day after my period finished, or is that far too early?") The reason I am asking is I had lots of cervical stretchy mucas and I was feeling very sexy. (hence my love making). I did work out my fertile days to be 22-26 May but they can change and we're all different as are our own cycles

Guys do not usually ask for my number afterwards well what do I expect when I give myself to them as soon as I see them, I'll say that before anyone else rightly does, but I am desperate to conceive and at 37 I do not exactly have much time on my hands. and they do not complain at the time. I am sure you know what I mean. Anyway he phoned me last night and I am meeting him next Friday as well and who knows this could lead to something erm I'll dare to use the word "Special" but I wont hold my breath and even if it doesn't there are plenty more stars in the solar system or if you prefer fish in the sea. If I do stick with the same sexual partner, well at least for this month and if I do get my B.F.P in June I wont be wondering whose product (sperm) it is.
Good luck to you and all and indeed me for our June B.F.Ps xxx

GnomieGrace · 20/05/2013 06:20

Hi C999, every woman is different i wouldn't say impossible to ovulate but unlikely, who knows!

Coffee1Sugar · 20/05/2013 11:24

C99 - please go for a sexual health screen

Hi gnomiegrace. Thank you for your reply. xx
Hi Coffee 1 sugar. Thank you for your reply and indeed your concern, but I have had a full screen health screen and I am fine. Like I am always saying what I am doing is not ideal but unfortunatly I am not part of the ideal world. xx

HungryHippo89 · 20/05/2013 12:47

Hi All,

Thought I would just check in to see how everybody was doing?
Sad weekend - You might of seen it on the news about the house gas explosion in nottinghamshire - I only live a few streets away. It's very sad :(
Have also been feeling sick all weekend not sure if it's a symptom or not this is the 4th day of it now!! 7DPO surely that's too early for any tell tale signs ...

Hope you are all having a good day - Even if it is Monday!!

BNmum · 20/05/2013 12:51

Good luck coffee! Have you still got cm? Any +ve OPKs yet?

Hi C999, I would say this is a great development and I hope it blossoms into something special. I would think it much better all round to have a child whilst in/developing a relationship, even a short one. I know it's early days but try and approach the subject of children with him sooner rather than later then you both know where you stand.
Fingers crossed he's on the same page as you!

Af still here so concentrating on other things for the moment, looking forward to cracking on with the baby making soon though.

BNmum · 20/05/2013 12:54

X post

I'm sorry to hear that hippo. I hope this is a super early sign of a BFP for you and not a side effect of the explosion.

C999875 · 20/05/2013 13:08

Hi BNmum. Thankyou for your reply. xx

Goldenhandshake · 20/05/2013 13:11

Hi all, Hippo I have seent he news, absolute tragedy I hope you are ok I imagine you feel pretty shaken up.

Coffee I am rooting for your swimmers too Grin

I have had to ove my gynae appointment to the 19th due to work related reasons, I am very angry that they have essentially told me I have to move my appointment, i know they don't get the significance but I am in such a foul mood, it must be emanating from my pores. Angry

BNmum · 20/05/2013 13:23

Just read a couple of articles on the web about the explosion as didn't see it on the news. It sounds horrendous, hope you and your family are ok hungry

C999875 · 20/05/2013 13:32

My God. I've just read about that explosion. How tragic. It certainly does put things into perspective and makes you feel guilty worrying about seemingly trivial things. My deepest sympathy to all involved R.I.P to the 2 who have lost their lives as a result. xx

Coffee1Sugar · 20/05/2013 13:40

Hippo - so tragic Sad hope you an friends and family are safe.

Golden - that's crap hun. Any chance you can have it out at the GP?

OP posts:
Goldenhandshake · 20/05/2013 13:47

Coffee Unfortunately not, they have tried twice, couldn't get it out or even see it so had to be referred for ultrasounds etc, it's too far up in the cervix so a Gynaecologist has to remove it under sedation Sad

BNmum · 20/05/2013 13:55

That's out of order, they have no right to demand you change your appointment golden.

Without going into details I would have refused saying I had a minor op that could not be delayed. No wonder you're angry!

Monstamio · 20/05/2013 14:08

Morning ttcers! Had a busy old morning at work so using my lunchbreak to catch up on the latest (obviously I wasn't going to wait until tonight!)

Hippo - how horrible Sad Hope you're not too shaken by it. It must be very scary when it's so close to home.

tinypolkadot - I also POAS on Sun.. also much too early! But it's the first time I've done it so treating it as a trial run/testing the sticks!! No symptoms though, so I'm not all that hopeful about the real test next week.

C999875 - I'm going to admit, I've avoided commenting on your posts previously as I have some issues with your approach. However, I do understand the reasons behind it even if I don't agree with the way you are going about things. I'm curious though, as to what you tell these randoms about why no contraception? Do you say you've got it covered, or have none of them asked? Just because, if something does develop with this latest guy and he subsequently discovers you were deliberately sleeping around to try to get pregnant it might not go down all that well! Especially if he thought you were being safe....

Monstamio · 20/05/2013 14:09

Golden I completely agree with BNmum. That is totally outrageous!

MushiMushi · 20/05/2013 14:23

Aww Golden that's rubbish!

C99 you keep saying you've been screened for STIs and you're fine....but then go out and shag another random? So you're testing after each one night stand? And you've considered that in the case of HIV you should wait another 3 months after exposure to test again? Confused

I was really stupid in my late teens and early 20s. I shagged around loads and was really lax about condoms. When I started to grow up a bit and realise how stupid I'd been I became terrified I'd caught HIV. My way of dealing with it was basically denial. I didn't have the test because I was convinced it would be positive and I couldn't face dealing with it.

In fact, this went on for years. The longer I left it, the more terrified and convinced I became that I had it. And in fact, I only confronted this at the age of 31, last month, because I wanted to get the all clear before I started ttc. That week of waiting for the results was horrific. And when I got the all clear, I couldn't stop crying. I've never been so relieved in my life.

So really my point is, why on earth would you put yourself at such stupid risk, again and again?
