And Boosk. Good luck next month. x

So my DS woke up at 6 and I spoke a few lines to him, then shouted downstairs to remind him to feed the dog. Then remembered to temp - 35.4. I then lay still for 30 mins not speaking and took again - 35.5. Do I discount both or keep the relaxed one? 36.5 would be my highest temp in 7 so would indicate ov which I am hoping I have done. 35.4 wouldn't show that. Hopeful chart attached.

MrsG sorry your temp has dropped. But sparkly got a drop below cover line and was still pg. Not over til AF arrives!

Sparkly didn't try DTD last night. Was tired and sore. Plus didn't have preseed to help with the dryness. It was hard to leave. But when social services are involved telling you that you must leave or you will be investigated for bad parenting staying in such a poisonous relationship you find the strength. Hid at my lovely Nans house after I got death threats following the attack terrified for a year then I met my DP. Who taught me how to trust again.

Morning Grin

Lucie, good to see you, I wondered where you were. Wishing you lots of luck with your ivf and please pop back here and update us.

Coffee, fx for you. This morning.

We need some more bfp's Grin

Morning everyone.
Good luck to anyone testing this morning!

I had a bit of a breakdown to dh last night over the length of time we've been ttc, sometimes it just really gets to me, it just feels so unfair when there are people falling pg by accident. I've been good all my life with limited alcohol/no drugs/safe sex/exercise etc.... Why won't it happen?! I've never felt like this during my fertile period before, this is usually reserved for af time.

Dh said we can pay for private tests but I'm not sure how this affects our eligibility for IVF etc on the nhs?

Sorry for the me post, hope everyone's having a better day. Xx

RoseBud2015 · 12/02/2015 07:29

purdey Time to start believing it.... because I certainly do! Shite TV and books are my way of switching off from the torment of working in education!

MrsG sorry to hear that Sad

sparkly how's your temp looking this morn?

Loving all of the online dating success stories... just realised that in the next few months we have 5 weddings to go to; 4 of which are online dating successes!

CoffeeTwo · 12/02/2015 07:34

Bfn this morning on two different tests. I guess that one was just having me on.

10dpo so I know there's still time but I'm not feeling hopeful.

PaddingtonFromPeru · 12/02/2015 07:39

I met DH speed dating. Spent 7 years with a depressive ex, who spent all his time working on the computer and we never went anywhere, even on holiday. He had a nervous breakdown because I was always begging him and au was the evil cow who caused it all, obvs. DH has been my life-changing breath of fresh air,taking me to some lovely places in the world and generally being lovely.

Think I am out for this month - familiar cramps that always come one week before AF. Thinking of just sodding it. DD is lovely and I'd adore another, but time is against us. Wish I'd met DH younger!

PaddingtonFromPeru · 12/02/2015 07:40

Begging = nagging. au = I was. Must proofread.

roughtyping · 12/02/2015 07:43

Hello Smile I was on the first February bus but my cycles are so long that it feels like I last posted ages ago. On cycle day 26 today and think I OV today - I got a positive OPK yesterday so does that sound right?!

Cariad2014 · 12/02/2015 08:17

Disaster! I'd just written a mega long post and then lost it. Sorry about the temp drop MrsG and the spotting Boosk.

Feeling a lot better today. Indulged in some serious retail therapy at lunchtime yesterday, buying a bright red dress and some killer heels for V day. AF still hasn't rocked up but I can feel her lurking in the wings.

My grandmother had my uncle at 45, when my grandad was in his 50s. She did however have several miscarriages between my aunt (born when she was 40) and my uncle.

Hairstylisttoboris · 12/02/2015 08:20

sammy I'm sorry for you. It's rubbish. I don't know anything about ivf but would be really interested in any answers you get. Sending you a big un- mumsnetty hug

Cariad2014 · 12/02/2015 08:20

Sammy - sorry you're having such a tough time. I did the unfairness of it all very tough (particularly when all my close friends managed to fall so easily without any bumps along the way). You WILL get there.

Waves at Lucie - lovely to see you.

For those of you considering IVF abroad, I haven't done any research myself but my GP recommended Spain or Bulgaria.

Cariad2014 · 12/02/2015 08:21

Sammy I have heard of couples going privately whilst they wait to move up NHS list but don't take that as gospel!

I had the worst nights sleep and took temp twice so went with lower one and apparently my sperm got sent to wrong facility at some point so I doubt it will be here today. Ffs

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 08:39

mummy, sorry but your first temp is the valid one.

I have had a super rise this morning and so am very happy. Off to get day 21 bloods done next Tuesday

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 08:43

mummy I see you are not using a fermometer that measures to two decimal places. It is really unhelpful to use the others as they don't show the true vagaries of temperature. It really can affect the pinpointing of ov.

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 08:50

Sammy I am so sorry you are feeling defeated. I think you would lose your NHS rounds if you went private Thanks

Off to the fiftieth baby group of the week...

mummyofonesofar · 12/02/2015 08:57

Purdey deep down I know that. Will change chart. Am ordering the hot pink one with a back light so will use that from cd1. Along with my cbfm I will be so much more organised next cycle. But of course will be pregnant by then!

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 09:11

Yes, Mummy, yes! You will! Smile

Here's my chart for you, Sparkly. I have a niggly feeling I ov'd on C19 - what with the awful pain that morning and evening..

Rolling rolling rolling, the February bus is still rolling!
Giddymamma · 12/02/2015 09:16

Wow, some of you ladies have some stories to tell. So lovely to hear of happy endings.
Coffee, what a nightmare, fx for next test.
Sorry to those who are saddened by dips, hope this month is not over for you yet.
Good news on rise purds, try not to kill anyone at enjoy baby group!
Any update for us sparkly? X

australopithecus · 12/02/2015 09:20

Anyone on here a cervix specialist? Wait, that sounds wrong? Grin
I thought I might as well see what my cervix can add to the whole ttc malarkey. Damn thing is so high I can hardly reach it but I think that might be normal for me irrespective of time of month. I remember when I had a copper coil fitted they said it is quite inaccessible (hence putting it in was rather painfulHmm) in position but think it dropped a bit after giving birth and I can just about reach it now. As I've given birth I figure it will always be a bit open so guess that observation is not relevant for me. I have read the tip of your nose vs your lips info regarding firmness BUT what's the deal if part of it is firmish and part of it is softish? Is that "medium" on ff? Is that normal for everyone? Do I only record as firm if the whole thing is hard? So confuu-uuuused again. Is it worth recording cervix pos?

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 09:26

Sorry for cluster posting.

Toots, I am so cross at your GPs arrogance. Cycles of such absurd length are never okay and are a clear signal that you have a hormone imbalance. A series of tests conducted on CD10 prove absolutely nothing Please go back and ask for a different doctor.

loopylou1984 · 12/02/2015 09:27

Thanks everyone. I think it's that I feel like we're soon going to have nothing in common with our friends Hmm

I guess it's different from area to area regarding private treatment and nhs places so will have to ask drs.

I'll be ok, just one of those days. Xx
