I am just going to have lots more sex this month and see if that does the trick!!!!! Actually looking forward to trying extra hard this month and can't wait to finish the end of af so we can get started. Must be trying to recapture that holiday feeling!

Still no AF .....

ChaCha · 12/05/2004 18:43

Hi everyone,
Has been a while since i've been here. Has there been any good news in the past couple of weeks?
Think today is CD13, start follicle tracking tomorrow, am quite nervous.
How are you BeckiF? How is Azure and Bunny? Smellymelly and Bigbird?

BeckiF · 12/05/2004 19:12

Hi ChaCha - I'm on day 214 and still no AF and no sign of her. Because I was soo ill last week I stopped the Metformin do I've got to build back up ... lately I've got me 'What's the point' head on, when I feel like I'm being punished for something. Ah well

futurity · 12/05/2004 19:27

Feeling crap as well. Went out today with other mums...three of which are pregnant..all discussing bumps etc and I felt rubbish.

Hi everyone. Not much to report here - AF due this weekend, and then it's back to Persona after my little break. Good luck with the follicle tracking ChaCha.

Azure · 13/05/2004 08:57

Also, in case you missed the news ChaCha, Bunny, Smellymelly and BigBird all graduated - and Smellymelly is expecting twins!

MoseGirl · 13/05/2004 09:34

Futurity, Bluestar and Gold123
I am so sorry to come back from hols to read your news. Best of luck for next month, Feb/Mar are good months for having babies xxxx

I am on CD34/35, DPO13 and am now on tenderhooks for the next few days as AF due Saturday. I have butterflies the lot!
No unusually signs, though not sure what to expect exactly, I don't think I am but I know I will be devasted if I'm not! OMG I am so anxious.

Smellymelly - Way to go!!

Hi ChaCha - good luck with the scans.
Azure and Mosegirl - good luck this week.

BigBird · 13/05/2004 09:43

Morgan - how did your Lap go ? Hope you are feeling ok.

Schmozer · 13/05/2004 10:01

So that's three of us who'll be biting our nails all weekend then - my AF is due then too (CD27 today). Will be thinking positive thoughts for all of us

gold123 · 13/05/2004 10:14

Good luck Azure, Mosegirl and Schmozer - we need some good news for this thread.

I'm on cd4 and having that great debate in my head, thinking should I be doing all this, what is the point, is it worth it ? well conclusion still the same YES it is worth it, so here we go again - DH not complaining.

I am although starting the worry, because the last couple of months, my hormones have been a mess, the doctor said the only way I am going to level myself out, is to either get PG or go back on the pill, I am starting to think that maybe my hormones are in such a mess that I won't conceive. I mean I was so sick and dizzy last week, I was convinced I was PG.

GillW · 13/05/2004 10:16

Make that 4... CD29 today, first month on Agnus Castus. Compared to my usual 21 days give or take 2 or 3 (and only 18 last time), that's pretty unusual. Not expecting anything much though as have had light spotting on and off since CD 21 - so suspect it's just the AC dragging things out a bit and it's a sign that AF has just been hovering on the brink for the last 9 days and will kick in properly at any moment.

Azure · 13/05/2004 11:12

Good luck Mosegirl, Schmozer and GillW. I had a break this month and didn't do any bd'ing at the guessed ov time, so am not expecting anything but AF. Time for someone else to have a BFP, though!

BeckiF · 13/05/2004 13:02

Wow Smelly!!! Way to go girl!!

MoseGirl · 13/05/2004 14:37

Gillw and Schmozer - have either of you got any possible signs that you could be PG...sore boobs etc?

ChaCha · 13/05/2004 18:56

Wow, fantastic news and congrats to the graduates Wow, smelly, twins? you must be sooo excited!

Today went for my scan and guess what? I had actually ovulated an hour before!!!! so no need for any injections or the like. Have been given prescription of progesterone for the next couple of weeks and just waiting for DH to arrive. Bloody typical, he's working late!!!

Baby dust my way pls...

ChaCha, that is fantastic news, hope you are not reading this message tonight and are undertaking much worthier causes!! Best of luck to you.

I have just been looking at an ovulation calculator and realised that I am taking the wrong date as day 14 before period starts and that I'm probably leaving it too late. Thought the last date in the range was day 14 when it is in fact the middle which then gives you 2 days after probable ovulation for the cycle to be out by a day or two. Ooops! I've also read that it can take a couple of days after ov for progesterone to build up for a temp rise. Better get to it a bit earlier this month then, typical as ds has just come down with chicken pox!

Thanks to everyone for your best wishes.

We are very much still in shock....But also quite excited. & Still in disbelief.

If you look down this thread - I actually joked it may be twins, as I tested positive 5 days before af was due!! Not bad i guess with one fallopian tube?!? Will hopefully make up for the one we lost last year when it was ectopic.

It wasn't really the best month to conceive and we only did it the once!!!!!! So there you go...

Good luck to those testing this weekend.
Chacha - happy b'ding!!!

ChaCha · 13/05/2004 22:55

ohhh, its good to be back!
Well Bd'd yesterday and tonight and did feel ovulation for the first time in ages!! Only problem is even when i use the pillow and legs in the air (sorry for TMI) it all seems to come out I just hope something of it went in.
Anyone else have this problem?
Will BD again in the morning and hope that this was all enough. Worst luck, am coming down with the stupid flu!!!
Anybody been given progesterone during the 2WW?

bunny2 · 13/05/2004 23:01

ChaCha, this is really vulgar but I read you should hold your "lips" together for a while if it all tends to come out. HTH

Azure · 14/05/2004 09:15

ChaCha your scan was very specific about when you ovulated - that's good news. I hope this is your month.
