Hoping for a positive November!

AF arrived this morning, CD34. Probably won't be a +ive november for me either as DH is going away for 2 months sometime later this month, so he probably won't be here for my fertile window, but ya never know (in the army the dates for things change all the time, so gotta keep hoping). Will keep using my Persona this month just in case we can fit one or two BDs in at the right time.

Sorry to those who are feeling down and for the AF's.

Rubles, you are right in that there is much you can do on your own. It needs to be a 2 way thing, but just hope you dont end up in a argument with DH. That only adds to the stress of the situation doesn't it.

Sorry Female - You'll feel better soon but its rotten at the moment especially as you were late.

MrsMcJ - I think you offered to look at my temps, is that OK? I'm only CD19 so dont know if there is enough to go on but here they are.

CD1 - 36.8
CD2 - 36.75
CD3 - 36.7
CD4 - 36.75
CD5 - 36.65
CD6 - 36.65
CD7 - 36.5
CD8 - 36.45
CD9 - 36.55
CD10 - 36.6
CD11 - 36.6
CD12 - 36.5
CD13 - 36.5
CD14 - 36.6
CD15 - 37 - To be ignored as was very pissed night before!
CD16 - 36.6
CD17 - 36.4
CD18 - 36.7
CD19 - 36.8

Not sure what it shows really as it started off high, then dips at CD17 and now back up. Am I right to ignore the second decimal place and round down?

Have a good day everyone!

Oooops, knew I should have read it before posting!

Rubles, I meant 'there is only so much you can do on your own' Sorry...

MrsMc, What I meant to say was 'should I be rounding down and ignoring the second decimal place'.

I've had a busy busy couple of days at work and been doing the nursery drop offs and pick ups with DS and been feeling guilty for rushing him so have been late 2 days in a row . Its such a juggling act sometimes...

Babymad2DS · 31/10/2006 10:15

Morning Ladies.
Af late CD27 HPT neg, Just in case this cycle turns out to be 28days as to my last few cycle's being 26days, I'll test again on the Thursday, Temp was high this morning, don't really know when I Oved. DH had his results for his S-test this morning the Doctor said they are "Normal" . I'm going for a internal scan and x-ray next Wednesday, we'll see what that they show up.
Hope everyone is fine and well.

Bodkin · 31/10/2006 10:45

Rubles, hope argument isn't on the cards - I'm sure you could do without the added stress! I sometimes feel that I'm doing all the worrying and planning, while DP is free to carry on as normal. I don't even like him knowing I post on here as it would freak him out.

RachelRose - know what you mean about the juggling. I'm self-employed so it does mean I can be more flexible, but it also means I end up working in the evenings til 11pm! Trying to fit BDing in after that takes monumental effort sometimes!

Fingers crossed for you Babymad2ds

Firststar, I am impressed with your BD action this month

Endless - Don't want to get your hopes up too much, but wanting to cry every second is a classic pg symptom! I cried at adverts when pg with DD.

Bodkin · 31/10/2006 10:48

Forgot to add that AF now seems to be on her way. Ho hum, better early than waiting with baited breath til Saturday.

Babymad2DS · 31/10/2006 11:00

thanks Bodkin!

RachelRose · 31/10/2006 11:01

Ah, sorry about AF Bodkin. Glad to see you are relatively relaxed about it. Oh how I wish I was self employed! I'm sure it has its down sides but at least you can work to your rules. My last job was almost the best of both worlds in that I worked from home for a US company so I could do the hours when it suited me.

I'm a secret MN poster as well - DH knows I look on here but doesn't know I post on the conception threads. I just dont say anything about it because I think he would probably take the piss...

Hang in there Endless xxx

sunshinedays · 31/10/2006 11:02

MrsMcJnr - how are you feeling today? Positive vibes to you.
You are such a positive and supportive person - hope good news comes your way soon.

MrsMcJnr · 31/10/2006 11:11

Morning ladies. Cramps seem a little less today but gums started to bleed last night when I was brushing my teeth and again this morning, what's that all about?! I dreamt that I'd drunk a whole bottle of wine and then started to panic in case I was pg - I hadn't had any wine though

So many of you to say so much to this morning! Hello to one and all.

Cyee - congratulations and thank you for sharing your symptoms with us (very precise, I'm impressed!) Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy.

Female and Rubles sorry AF arrived, it is such a crap feeling and I so know how you both feel. I leave DHs vits out for him but I don't know what has made him more TTC aware over the last cycle or two - sometimes it has the opposite effect on me though as he asks me eagerly after a BD how his boys are Female - grrr to your colleague! Have to say Rubles, this part of your cycle is the best part to discuss it though because even if there is a fight, you have time to make up before you need to be friends again. Big hugs to you both, we all know exactly how you feel.

Endless - huge hugs to you too, hang in there.

Sideways - hope AF has stayed away.

Welcome Babyfettle - so sorry to hear about your MC but that's great news that your DH comes back at such a great time Babydust to you!

RachelRose - when did AF end? (we start counting towards the coverline from then). That dip on CD17 could have been OV especially with the temp rise on CD18 over what I imagine will be coverline (think that'll be 36.6) so if you have another high temp tomorrow, that should be a thermal shift. Hope that helps. Yup, the book says to round down to nearest decimal point.

but as i say, you guys keep me on track

FreakyFloss · 31/10/2006 11:19

MRsMcJnr - bleeding gums are sometimes assosciated with pregnancy - [hopeful emoticon]

Have been nosing on here a bit - had a miscarriage in the end last month but trying not to get so bogged down with TTC - it took over my life last month and another pregnancy could end the same way so I am not posting - but saw you post and couldn't resist! really hoping it is a positive sign for you - when is af due?

Oh Bodkin big hugs - hope it isn't AF - wierd to be early, fingers crossed. Hey, your party sounded fabby! I'll be home alone so am a bit nervous of the trick or treaters (some of them are so cute though!) I have bought some sweets, gone are the days when I thought I hated kids and used to give them oxo cubes I WAS a student then!!

Thank you Sunshinedays - that was such a kind thing to say I do try! The cramps were pretty sore last night (but I let DH keep our only water bottle for his back!) but they are only slight niggles today.

Hello Kyte,

Thanks Kyte let's hope so, and fingers corsed for you too!

MrsMcJnr · 31/10/2006 11:51

Kyte - I was the same, I used to pass out from AF pain but luckily, I did not get my AF every month so it wasn't every month but that was why I went on the pill at 14. Maybe I'll get some of that cream or some heat pads if I don't get the result I am hoping for in a couple of days.

Oooh, Mrsmcj - my gums bled with my pregnancies - it was one of my earliest signs - sorry, dont want to build your hopes up, but....

Thanks for the info on the temps - I'll see what tomorrow is like.

Kyte - Glad you DP is managing OK despite the pain - that must be so sore for him.

Hi Freakyfloss - Hope you are well x

Hi guys, thanks for the support! Just spotting at the mo, but a bit of mild crampiness. It's been such a weird short cycle for me anyway, I am hardly surprised. On the plus side, at least it means I might get another shot at a BFP in November!

at your past ways with trick or treaters, Mrs McJnr! Mind you, I still lapse into "pesky kids" mode now and again, and I've got one!

How did the appraisal go, Female. Did you let rip?

FemaleoftheSpecies · 31/10/2006 15:06

sweet of you to ask bodkin - you have a good positive attitude

i'm such a grumpy mare

no i sat there and held my tongue on anything irrational which was prob best as my only complaint and real grumble is why can't i get pregnant

have killer back ache

hows everyone else?

Bodkin · 31/10/2006 15:36

Well done, think your boss might have at that one!

Yes, sorry, I am a bit Pollyanna at the mo. Should have seen me on Saturday though - was a right old bag.

FemaleoftheSpecies · 31/10/2006 15:47

i'm always a right old bag. poor hubby.

my boss is female but she was doing all sorts up till due date with her two kids - told me that 'not everyone has to have a labouredpregnancy' and that my colleague (the smug one) seemed to suffer terribly . slightly annoying though she is, i think my colleague was infiitely more normal than boss. she was tired, a bit sick now and then and burped. my boss went out on a north sea oil rig at 8 months preg. hmmm
