coggy · 25/10/2006 16:58

LOL MrsMc....you didn't upset me.....it just meant I had one bottle of Grolsch last night instead of two!!!!!
And it obviously worked 'cos no zig-zagging for me today!!!!

Babymad if the dip is because of AF that would be a pretty short cycle for you wouldn't it?
I can't actually load the previous two as it won't let me so I can't check but I thought yours were longer normally......so here's hoping that it is implantation.

Me....? Cramps, cramps, cramps....and for the first month in AGES I'm not at all hopeful......
Glad I've got the IUI option......it's a bit disheartening when you get AF cramps only 4 dpo!!!
Not a fat lot of chance really is there!!!!???!

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrgghh!!!!!!

Moany.....but I'm okay!!

HI everyone,

just got in from a meeting in Barry Island - just the place you want to go on a day like this - esp when it's a 3 hr drive away !!!! Hey ho the things we do for work.

Anyhow temp plummeted this morning as you've seen had cramps this morning - af not arrived yet but expect it to turn up tomorrow !!!.

Will have a look at all your charts later and catch up.

Babymad2DS · 26/10/2006 01:24

Morning chart spotting bud's,

stretchmarks just had a look at your chart, fingers crossed AF stays aways!

3catstoo chart looking good!

Regarding the spots i get them on my chin and around my mouth, hate it, hate it, hate it, upsets me most days but once i get my BFP and i have baby and will be able to go back on the only thing that has ever got rid of mine, but it also doubles up as the pill so cant at the moment!

MrsMcJur loving the the fleecy PJs but no sex you off your trolley LOL! When do you think you Oved? I think you Oved (but what do i know) on CD18 and you BDed on that day, good luck chick!

Coggy arr poor you hope you feel better soon, chart looking good, chin up chick! I'm due AF on sunday heres hoping no sooner or not at all! I'll keep my fingers crossed its implantation, please > does it suit me!? LOL.

Natty1806 sounding good sounds like you have a good chance this cycle, loving your chart, yours looks alot better than mine , fingers crossed for you chick!

Wishing everyone a BFP cycle!

Off to bed nite

MrsMcJnr · 26/10/2006 09:31

Morning all! What a relief, chart is now saying that I did OV on Monday as I was meant to inspite of all those negative opks! It's crazy how upset I have been about it, what a waste of energy. Anyway, now I can relax because there is nothing more I can do (other than keep the booze down) this cycle. I looked back on the Fertility Planner and this cycle we had more BDs in the fertile time, used pre-seed more, and BD twice on a "good" day. I think BFP or not, we did out best this cycle!

3catstoo - they are really sore on the jawline and the neck aren't they? I bought the Dynospot stuff from Eve Lom and mine are much better already, especially the ones on my forehead. £18 well spent if you ask me!

Coggy - LOL I have had a glass of wine the last 2 nights but will now be good seeing as I have (probably) OVd. Poor you with the cramps but is it not too early to get AF cramps? I'm still positive for you this cycle.

Off to chart spot!

MrsMcJnr · 26/10/2006 09:40

Hey Coggy - I am liking the look for your chart today! do you really think they are AF type pains?

stretchmarks - how long are your cycles normally?

you ok 3catstoo?

Babymad - wonder what your temp did today, hope it went back up.

Natty - nice and high, one more and you'll get your OV sign!

3catstoo · 26/10/2006 09:52

Morning.

Not a good one this morning. Had slight spotting and cramps already today. Temp gone down a bit again. Not looking good.

Will checl everyne's charts now.

Babymad2DS · 26/10/2006 11:24

Morning again! LOL,
CD23 today don't know what my temps are up to , I have been run down and a little stressed this week lets hope it just that! 13 days till scan and x-ray not looking forward to it but hopefully get to know what's been going on! Hopefully have a stress free chill out day and early night, there's always hope,LOL! Got a touch of and feel down, a lot of newbies getting there BFP am I alone on this? Since TTC I've seen no end of new babies and/or bumps, go to town and always seem to walk past a lot of PG ladies or new babies, gets me so down and I say to DH why cant I be PG, he just say's it'll be us soon, makes me so sad tho! soz words running away with me!

How is every one?

MrsMcJur, 3catstoo, natty and coggy your charts are really looking fab,
Stretchmarks what was your temp upto yesterday morning lets hope it keeps up and going up!

wishing you all a BFP cycle!

coggy · 26/10/2006 13:05

Babymad.....this is exactly why we started the 'old-timers' ttc thread.
After being on MN for the best part of a year, people were feeling VERY down about alot of BFPs when people had only been ttc for a month or two.
Pleased for the people of course, but it gets VERY depressing when you feel as if people pop on, a week later get their BFP....and then go again.....a bit like being picked last at school for a sport's team.

MrsMc.....I would be hopeful with my rise this morning if it wasn't for the fact that I had several wines last night (never mind the stagnant liver eh??!!!) and I also looked at my 2nd cycle and the same thing happened 8 dpo on that cycle too!!!
So I am still not hopeful this month.
AF cramps should be too early....but sadly not....think that is part of the LP defect.
My lining breaks down too quickly so a fertilised egg doesn't have time to embed.

coggy · 26/10/2006 13:06

Oh dear..........my post looks a little depressing with those two blue faces......

That'll cheer us all up!!!

Natty1806 · 26/10/2006 13:17

Hi girls

Had a manic morning at work and only just got chance to pop on here.

Thanks for all you words of encouragement and wishing me a BFP

Stretch - when will you test????

Fingers crossed for everyone one else we are all in the second part of the cycle wouldn't it be nice if we all got our BFP's the same month - wishfull thinking I know.

Babydust to all. xxxxxxxxxx

coggy · 26/10/2006 13:21

We are all close aren't we?

It must be that Mittlesmitz thing......(I know that isn't it but can't think what it is so that'll have to do!!!!!)

OP posts:
coggy · 26/10/2006 13:24

Oooh Stretch.....just looked at your chart....

VERY interesting!!

I am echoing Natty..............any testing plans???????

OP posts:
3catstoo · 26/10/2006 14:20

T'is funny that we are all so close and in the second half of our cycles.
It's nice to have so many cycle buddies .

Here's hoping we can all cheer eachother up with BFPs at the same time.

MrsMcJnr · 26/10/2006 14:26

I agree, I was thinking how odd it was that we were all at the same stage - I remember when I was at boarding school and lots of people seemed to get AF at the same time (is that what you meant Coggy, cycles simulating, I didn't know there was a word for it!) Wouldn't it be great if all of us got our BFPs around the same time - wishful thinking I know but why the hell shouldn't we? we're all doing everything we can to influence the outcome! Blowing a gale of babydust and positive vibes at you all

Babymad2DS · 26/10/2006 14:27

I feel like I'm letting people down by not be totally pleased for them by being a bit of a green (OMG I have green eyes and I must admit I do look like a bit of a monster in the morning LOL) eyed monster! I cry every time when AF comes but its not that bad now I've started charting as I feel more in control, but I do feel like only someone TTC would understand when AF does come, your hopes are dashed and feel so down, I hate that feeling but there no locking it up, I have a little cry, I want it so badly! I would be pleased for people that I knew and talked to most days, because you guys on here I totally rote for you, my best wishes come from my heart! Soz getting all mushy now! LOL!

Anyway testing, I will be testing on Monday if AF isn't here, oh I am so hoping at least one of us get our BFP ( all get our BFP fab thought)!

MrsMcJnr · 26/10/2006 14:39

Babymad, we all know how you feel . We must try to remember that it is all about our own bodies and the partners we choose to pair with and that is what makes our babies so precious, so there is just no comparison with anyone else, there is not a limited supply of BFPs and your's might be just around the corner.

We also don't know how long people have taken to conceive, they might only just be joining us on here after months and months and even if it did happen quickly for them, we all know that each month is as hard as the next no matter how long it takes, we all feel exactly the same each time AF arrives.

You are doing all that you can to get your BFP and you have already done it twice before and I just know you will again.

I hope me saying that does not offend any of you, I know my five months feels like a long time to me and that a lot of you have been trying for so much longer than that.

PizPizPiz · 26/10/2006 15:35

stretchmarks, looking goooood .

When are you testing ?! everyone with me ... !

Natty1806 · 26/10/2006 15:38

I am sure one of us will be getting a BFP before Christmas, then it is just a matter of time for the rest of us.

Off to doctors in a bit to get more clomid as he only gave me two months worth when i should have been given six, i think it is there way of making more money out of me, getting me to pay each time for a prescription.

The name that coggy used for all ladies getting into the same cycle is the name for bad ovulation pain but i know what she means not sure if there is a name for it, also apparently full moon means more ladies go into labour.

Anyway AF due 7th Nov so will be testing that day if temps are high and had no spotting.

So for testers we have

Stretch - NOW please
Coggy - Sat/Mon
Babymad - Mon?
3cats - Soon
Mrs - 4th Nov?
Me - 7th Nov

Every cycle i think there is 25% chance of getting pregnant so i am putting money on it that one of us falls at least every 2nd month. x

Babymad2DS · 26/10/2006 15:40

Just watching some "video's on demand" cool info on conception, if you would like to watch

Natty1806 · 26/10/2006 15:40

Hi Piz

How you getting on?

MrsMcJnr · 26/10/2006 16:12

Yup, 4th for me. Fingers crossed. I am feeling very weird though and I'm not at all sure it's good. Very bloated and constantly thirsty and tired and getting sharp pains in tummy and back. Only 3dpo so I don't think it can have anything to do with anything positive.

I like your thinking Natty and I did not know that about ladies in labour and the full moon, that's freaky!

Hello Piz how are you?

PizPizPiz · 26/10/2006 18:24

hello ladies,

I'm very well, thanks. Not really feeling pg at the mo, except I'm more tired and thirsty than usual. I'm 6+2 and have a midwife appt in 3 weeks time.

Have been lurking on this thread to know who's going to be next to join me . Have been sending some baby dust through the wires too for you ladies.

Soooo, stretchmarks ?!

Babymad2DS · 26/10/2006 18:46

LOL PizPizPiz, yes stretchmarks......

coggy · 26/10/2006 19:14

She could definitely be our number two!!!
