coggy! big hug to you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Natty1806 · 12/08/2006 09:38

Oh coggy sweetie i really did have a good feeling about you.

Good news is like you say you went an extra day PO which is a good thing, you will go and see your consultant (i will drag you there if i have too) and you can start to use your CBFM so don't forget to turn it on tomorrow.

have lovely weekend and have a bottle or two of wine you deserve it hun.

Take care

natty x

hiya all

Coggy (((hugs))) sorry to hear about af. That does mean though that we're now cycle buddies as my af turned up in full swing this morning also. Not that disappointed either, as given the spotting etc I had figured it was on its way anyway and given dh's results I now it's highly unlikely that I will fall pg.

Babymad I went to gp after a year of trying, usually what they do is do a day 21 and a day 3 blood test to see if you are ovulating, and they check the man as well to check that his count is normal.

Well I had an email back from that company last night saying they've had problems with their phones or something as they've moved premises and bt had screwed up or something (how easy it is to blame someone else), but apologising profucely and saying I would hear from them by monday afternoon at the latest re the status of my order, and that if there is any problem I could have a full refund. Hmm the power of threatening to close a site down obviously works, lol.

Well have ILs coming this weekend so won't be on here, but happy bd to all xx

coggy · 12/08/2006 10:20

wannaBe ...looks like your email worked a treat!! Well done!

How weird that we were both thinking about testing on Friday and now both have AF together this am!!!
I feel amazingly positive and normal!!!

I think it's because AF came before I tested...it depresses me to see "Not Pregnant" written in black and white....I've only used the digital hpts a few times and it alwaya makes me feel bad!!!!! The other ones never did!!!!

Natty....if I go to the clinic and have a hcg jab I guess it won't be worth using the monitor this month either will it?
I will use it soon!!!!!!!!!
I'll check about that...but the jab'll induce ov so no need for the monitor!!!
Next month then.....!!!

MrsMcJnr · 12/08/2006 11:48

Hello ladies, just logged on to check up on you Coggy, sorry that AF arived but as you say, excellent news that the post-ov period was longer this cycle. AF has arrived with me too so I am off to Positive September too so I'll see you there. Good luck all of you with a chance this month, I will come back and check and hope not to see too many of you over there. Bye and baby dust to all.

ccpink · 12/08/2006 13:50

Babymad - I agree they will get you to go for blood tests on day 3 and 21. Have to do that for three months before they refer. So long as you have regular af!

pendulum · 12/08/2006 19:58

Sorry coggy and mrsmac. Hope you're both tucking into a nice glass of vino right now.

Expect I will see you on the september thread!

SOL- how are you doing cycle buddy? Any 'feelings' one way or the other?

Sexonlegs · 12/08/2006 22:13

Oh Coggy, I am so sorry. I really thought that this was your month, and I have been desperate to get on here and check you out. As you say though, there are positives which is always good.
Also, Wannabe and MrsMcJnr, sorry to hear af's are here for you too.
How is everyone else?
Hi Pendulum, CD22 isn't it? Nothing really to report from me. I do have incredibly sore boobs though, but I had this last month and af came. Also, a tiny bit of spotting - the merest dot, and no pain. Only bd'd three times, which is appaling, but just the way it was, so will be bowled over it is a bfp. I am not sue until the 22nd as have a 30 day cylce. When are you due?
Need to head, as my Dad wants to use his PC! It is so difficult being here and trying to check mn!!
Love to everyone. See you tomorrow.xx

Sexonlegs · 12/08/2006 22:14

Sorry, bad typing in my post - must do better!!

Babymad4num3 · 12/08/2006 23:47

I wish you all loads and loads of luck, i'm off to pos september CD1 today after a cd26, i'll be having a good cry tomorrow i thought i might just have done it this month but again it wasn't ment to be so

Good luck!!!

pendulum · 13/08/2006 08:27

SOL- make sure you shut the window down properly after MNetting- your dad might get a shock to have a thread about CM pop up on his screen!

I'm on CD24 and have had two raised temps, today and yesterday, which I think should mean I ov'd around CD 22 (if I get my third high temp tomorrow.) Not sure when I am due cos since quitting pill my cycles have been 37, 33, and 25 days- prob averages out around 32, which used to be my standard cypendulumcle length. So we may well be testin on about the same day if no intervening AF!

pendulum · 13/08/2006 08:28

cypendulumcle ????

don't know what happened there!!

Sexonlegs · 13/08/2006 17:18

Hi all, I did start typing on here earlier about blood-streaked cm - sorry I know, TMI, and my bloody dad walked in so had to shut down v quickly!
So, how is everyone?
Pendulum, loved the typing!
Has anyone seen angsthase or muminamini anywhere?
Not much to report here. Still have sore boobs, and have had a bit of spotting. I got all this last month, so am sure af is on her way. Bitch!!!
Anyway, need to run. See ya later. xx

pendulum · 13/08/2006 19:55

Muminamini is on the September thread- she has some exciting news....!

Have lost track of who else is still a possible for August... Tili? tryingfortwo?

Sexonlegs · 13/08/2006 20:25

I found her!! Isn't it great!! Good luck to the rest of us!

Tili · 13/08/2006 20:44

hi everyone.
hi pendulum im still here seeing how everyone is getting on.I dont think i am a possible for august as today is cd42 af is knowhere to be seen and doesnt look like she is appearing anytime soonand i had 3 bfns.I may jump over to the sept thread soon and hope I at least have af then so i can at least be in with a chance!!
So how is everyone? Sorry to hear that a few ladies afs have appeared, oh well onwards and upwards to a positive sept
take care all xxx

Babymad4num3 · 13/08/2006 20:48

Muminamini before you go to "Pregnancy" topic convo (you lucky thing )you will have to tell us how you did it on "Graduates from the positive Aug 06 thread" you never know you might have some very valuable information for us, i wish i was joining you over on the "Pregnancy" topic but this month wasn't ment to be but i will be joining you next month i hope
Here's to a happy healthy pg for you!

Angsthase · 14/08/2006 11:05

Hi Girls,

Back from a w/e in Sunny (not) Cologne. Didn't have any problems getting my flights which was a nice surprise.

Come back with a stinking cold, though, so that sucks.

Been trying to catch up with you all. Coogy and wannabe , but we just have to see this whole TTC process as a journey and we're just not sure when we'll reach our destination . - But often want to shout "ARE WE THERE YET???"

Been TTC since Oct 2004. DH only here for 1/2 of OV opps. One m/c in May this year. Would like to be pg before I turn 40 next June.

CD24, so AF due Friday / Sat. As normally 28/29 days. Pendulum and SOL - any updates / symptoms. Nothing to report here.

Hoping we see some BFP's before the months out. xx

coggy · 14/08/2006 11:26

I'm glad you got your flight okay.
LOL at your "Are we nearly there yet?" cry!!!

I've shouted that alot lately!!!!

Sexonlegs · 14/08/2006 11:59

Hi all, and welcome back Angsthase. Sorry about the cold - bummer!
CD24 today, and I have been having light bleeding - sorry TMI, so once again, I think it is Game Over for this month. This is exactly what happened last month. I am getting really peed off with it all now!! Hey ho. Have you had any symptoms Angsthase? Pendulum, what about you?
Need to head, as at work, and for once, am really busy!!! Love to all. xx

ShowOfHands · 14/08/2006 12:23

Hello to the last few hangers-on! Just dropping in to see who's left...

Sexonlegs, got everything crossed for you, hope it's not a repeat of last month. I know how demoralising it is. The only bit of ttc I seem to really enjoy now is the bit between the end of af and the start of ewcm. There's no pressure, no two week wait, all of your hopes are still intact, no cramps, no af, sex just for the fun of it and no bloody testing. Pendulum, ditto, best of luck to you, I'll keep dropping in to see how you're doing.

I'm on CD2 and in residence over on the September thread. AF in full swing so I'm at work and surreptitiously sneaking chocolate digestives out of my bag when nobody is looking. On the downside, somebody is playing twangy country music and I can't work out where it is coming from and yet another person rocked up to work today and declared 'ooh I'm pregnant and I don't even have a boyfriend/sex/a womb'. Sorry to be so flippant, but everybody around me seems to be falling pregnant by just looking at the opposite sex.

Anybody see Scrubs yesterday? Turq and Carla are trying for a baby and he was complaining about her discussions of 'cervical fluid' and their failure to sexually excite him. Elliott turned round and said 'cervical fluid? From now on we shall refer to it as icky sticky'. Cut to Carla sitting in bed surrounded by charts and thermometers and Turq gazing on in confusion. Very apt methinks.

Oh and DH announced this morning that he has been mulling it over and he'd like four children. Great (insert sarcastic tone here).

Best of luck to you both!!!

Angsthase · 14/08/2006 12:41

LOL at "don't even have a boyfriend/sex/a womb" SOH - it's so bloody easy for some people isn't it.
Really glad one of my RL friends got me onto MN, otherwise I would still think I was the only baren woman in London! At least here you can have a rant w/o people thinking you've lost the plot

Sexonlegs · 14/08/2006 12:46

Oh SOH, how hilarious was that about no boyfiend/no womb etc! Really cheered me up!
Didn't watch Scrubs, but sounded very apt!
Hope you are ok. xx

MrsMcJnr · 14/08/2006 13:26

SOL - your thread made me laugh so much - icky sticky it is then! Superb .

Sexonlegs · 14/08/2006 13:58

MrsMcJ, it was SOH that introduced icky sticky - it is confusing though isn't SOH and SOL!
I wonder if I should change my name?
