Thanks very much ladies! You are all too kind!

Oh yeah, I know this is pushy, but I started a thread about baby names, and there have been lots of responses, but not all that many from the ladies I am familiar with (Natty and Bubble apart ) and I will understand if you don't want to share your thoughts, but if you have any cool suggestions for me, then I would love to hear them.

Sorry MrsMc.............I was a little obtuse in my reply!!!!
LOL at weeing on your salvia-scope though!!!!
I meant that my blue things going the opposite way are for my CB fertility monitor....I don't do the ferny thing it just looks like it's upside down because they are one above the other!
Does that make sense???
Now tell me about these pelvic floors that TW recommends and why/when/where etc etc!!!!!

3Cats......I am always really plessed when it takes all day to seep out cos it means that it hasn't all flooded out straight after IYSWIM!!!!!

EVENING ALL!

had temp dip today and my coverline changed. Apparently should Ov on Weds but my cm isn't all that ew more lotiony. I have heard that you can get robitussin to enhance cm, so bought it and then read that it had ingredient that can cause serious birth defects if taken whilst pg! I just worry...Don't think i'll use it now!!!
Dunno what's going on. Just another confusing ttc day

coggy · 13/11/2006 23:43

I feel very and I have had enough!
After another disappointing evening of no BDing at the right time I am giving up and resigning myself to IUI in the New Year.
I will be pleased to get that done now....at least I may have some chance to get pg again.

So I have decided no charting, no temps, CBFM....nothing......the way I feel right now I can't even face MNing anymore............sorry.
I don't want this to sound like a farewell speech but you have all been really good friends to me and a good shoulder to cry on, laugh and get frustrated together!!!
I just feel like I can't be bothered anymore.
(Probably not helped by the several large glasses of red wine I am downing to get over my disappointment of yet another month gone by.)
To make matters worse I have very strong OV pains right this moment......but no use to me if I can't use it is it?

I don't want to say goodbye because I hope that I will be back to my normal positive self in the morning.........but I just don't feel like I will be.......so I won't actually say it (because if I say goodbye to you all individually I'll cry even more than I am already!!!!) but I may not be around for a while.

Coggy darling i am so sorry to hear you are feeling like this, is DH working lates? Not long know until you start IUI and then i am 100% sure you will get pregnant. I just wish i could pop round and see you today and give you a big hug, so here is a cyber hug from me.

Please e-mail me when you feel like a chat would love to keep in touch [email protected]

3catstoo · 14/11/2006 09:52

Morning ladies.

Sorry to hear you're feeling sad Coggy. Was your DH not around last night?

Big hugs to you.

MrsMc, I'm always reluctant to do the kegels after BDing as I don't want to get rid of the good stuff iyswim.

Haven't filled in my chart yet or looked up any charts.

Have a good day.

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 09:52

Coggy I'm so sorry your feeling this down, please don't give up, our BFP's are just around the corner, I just know it. Please please don't give up! I feel the same way too from time to time, but for dreams to come true you have to keep at it. I was so very tired last night (I think I might be coming down with something) and I really could of done with BDing myself, as all my signs were good yesterday but just couldn't, so I feel I've missed my chance too and I only have myself to blame as DH wanted to BD, but things happen and half the time out of our control. I really hope your feeling better today I'll be thinking of you all day ((((((((((((((((((big BIG HUG))))))))))))))))))))) All this TTC stuff is really hard, but we have to keep at it, Chin up chick, Babymadxx

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 10:43

Oh Coggy big hugs, if only the 100% effort we ladies put in were enough hey. Big hugs.

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 10:45

3cats - I know what you mean. I am too scared to do the kegels too, I figure though that if I know I'm fertile and am BDing then I am doing the best I can and it doesn't matter if I can't tell what CM is like.

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 11:00

Sideways - does look like you OV on CD16 doesn't it? now you get to relax after all your hard work

3Cats - funny how your temp went high the day before OV like that. See that happened in cycle 1 too.

Babymad - how are you feeling today? those ferns getting better?

Ladybump - I never get much EWCM, lotiony stuff just gets wetter. I know what you mean about the cough mixture. I just don't feel I want to do it anymore, used it for a couple of cycles and didn't feel that it made much difference to me anyway.

I seem to be getter colder as the days go on this cycle - brrrrr!

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 12:11

MrsMcJur so busy at the moment that I grab something from the kitchen than after wards I forget to test on my scope, but I will get the hang of it, I want a bigger one as I think mine is to small but we'll see. How are you?

1n2 I've had creams in the past that do bleach things so when I started this gel/cream I used one of my old pillow case's that was already bleached from past creams, so I cant say weather this gel has bleached thing, I really did work for me that's all I know. When I wash the gel off I put vit E moisturising cream on, I have skin is sensitive, the gel did not make my skin no dryer then it normal is but I did/do get some little dry patches where the spots is then was, I've not found it to stripe my skin!

Byebye for now really bust today!

RachelRose · 14/11/2006 12:17

Hi all - I've not been on the spotters thread before, so sorry for crashing in just to ask a favour (especially as I dont use the TCOYF software!!!), but could you look at my chart and see if you think I OV'd on CD17 or CD20?

RachelRose · 14/11/2006 12:18

ps, I do use "fertility friend" web site so I could try try to add a link if that would be easier?

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 12:38

RR I would say you OVed on CD17 hope this help's!

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 14:17

I'm on the case Rachel - back v shortly

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 14:19

LOL MrsMcJur!

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 14:37

Hi Rachel, I agree with Babymad.

If we assume that you had AF high temps until CD4, that means that your coverline would have been 36.65/7 (ignoring that high one on CD15) on CD17 you dropped to your lowest temp of 36.4 which could mean you OV that day but doesn't always but the fact that you then went above your coverline on CD18 & CD19 suggests that you did OV on CD17 especially if we rule of thumb out the temp on CD20 of 36.6 below your coverline. Does that tie in with pains/CM etc? Remind me, how long have your last few cycles been?

If you did OV and are now on 14dpo, 74% of BFPs show by then but even at 17dpo only 92% show so you might still have some waiting to do my friend .

I hope this helps.

RachelRose · 14/11/2006 14:42

MrsMc - You are a star - thanks for looking at this for me!!

I should have mentioned CM before - I had EWCM on CD18 / CD19 and CD20 which ties in with a later OV. But this is all a bit new to me, so I've probably messed it up a bit!!!

I'll keep waiting... Thanks again hon!!!

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 14:55

ok, say you did OV CD20, it seems really odd that you would have had 2 temps above your coverline before that unless you weren't well or something? those days were a Tues (31/10) and a Weds (1/11) and I don't think you were out those nights drinking were you? Remember you being at home on Halloween. not much use am I. If you did OV CD20 and are now 12dpo, 62% get a BFP at 12dpo and 68% at 13dpo so I agree with the Nov ladies, another test tomorrow, very first thing might give you some answers.

ready4motherhood · 14/11/2006 14:59

Fingers crossed RachelRose - patiently (!) waiting to hear your news

RachelRose · 14/11/2006 15:30

Thanks MrsMc and Ready - You are right Mrs, I was in and not unwell or anything around the 30th. I guess I'll know in a few days anyway, its just interesting to play the guessing game!

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 16:24

I have ferns, lots of ferns, DH is in for it tonight, I thought i missed the boat but fingers cross i haven't, also I'm still high and open so we'll see! >>>>>

Sorry moment of madness!

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 16:39

Very bought those ferns Babymad! Go for it girl

MrsMcJnr · 14/11/2006 16:40

About I meant, don't know where I thought you'd buy them from!

Babymad2DS · 14/11/2006 16:58
