Purdie such exciting news!!! How nice of your dad.

Nomio sorry for bfn but isn't it still early?

Spinning I have my fx for you.

I'm 15dpo but I just know AF will be arriving soon and already planning for next cycle!!!

purdiepie · 10/05/2015 21:09

I concur with Dizzy (actually, if we are using FF's three-over-six-temps rule it would be CD19). There are a couple of ladies on here, Wood, who only ov two or even three days after their first peak smiley.

Plum, I am sure your prog dosage will be 200mg - at least, that is standard across IVF clinics.

The genetic sibling thing isn't really important to me, she is just an incredibly perfect easy baby and I want one just like her again, please. The astounding thing about all of this is that Nancy is the spitting image of her half-brother (DH has a son from a previous relationship, some of you will remember) when he was a baby. The photos are astonishing and so it seems that DH's genes - and not the donor's - have been dominant in Nancy's case. Her personality is....well..who knows? Is it nature or is it nurture? My point is, perhaps it is the case that any old donor would produce a Nancy as long as the spermz are DH's

To me, it is more important that the cycle works as opposed to who's egg is best matched to N-Pantz. I don't want her growing up alone when DH & I are decrepit or dead so I will go with the clinic that has the best success rates. Probably.

Spinning, you sun-bronzed slapper...are you really three whole days late?? Could you be preggo? COULD YOU...???!

purdiepie · 10/05/2015 21:13

Pug, yes of course I will continue with the job, God willing. It has suddenly become Very Important That I Do The Right Thing for my kidz Grin

Nomio230 · 10/05/2015 21:26

Purdie, that is amazing! I am so pleased for you, and love your reasoning behind the timescale! You are going to have a baby in your tummy!

eskimoflo · 10/05/2015 22:37

Purds Are you going to continue with the TTC in the meantime? Is this a stupid question?!

Fig Earlier on, you asked if I temped. The answer is no. I have bought the thermometer and have it by my bedside table, but I am rubbish in a morning, and with me having no cycles at all, I haven't really been sure when to start! Confused I did have a period a couple of weeks ago that was brought on by progesterone pills, so I could have started then, but I am having CD21 tests and CD30 tests this month, so there didn't seem to be much point! We'll see...

purdiepie · 10/05/2015 22:45

Eskimo, yes and yes Grin

I am appalled that I wrote who's instead of whose upthread.

DizzyMerry · 10/05/2015 22:53

WTAF!!! AF has just come along and my temp hasn't even come down. I'm all broken Shock

glitteryflange · 10/05/2015 23:19

Oh dizzy Sad xxx

BabyBumpHopeful · 11/05/2015 01:44

Well I don't see myself in the stats but I'll update anyway!! Here's what I posted in the May bus:


I didn't detect ovulation (I've had a rough month), so far no AF and no BFP.

Today is CD36 of a typical 32-34 day cycle. Normally I OV around CD20, 11 day LP. I didn't detect a BBT rise, but as previously stated, rough month. I also wear a full-face CPAP so low temps. I also ran out of sticks for the CB advanced OPK on CD19 and didn't get the IC's until CD21, and I never saw a positive with those.

Before I ran out of the CB digi ones I had a flashing smilies like normal so I did expect to OV on time.

Anyway, depending what you pay attention do (FF changed my AF due date due to no detected OV) I'm either 4 days late (AF originally due 6th May) or 2 days late.

Symptoms are frequent urination (including waking every 4 hours, man that's gunna get old if it continues) and I'm a little emotional (but there's other possible reasons for that).

Even with all of that, I don't think I OV'd and I think I'm going to skip AF this month. I'm going to <span class="italic">try</span> and wait until next weekend to take another HPT and if that's till negative I'll go to the doc to get the lack of period written down (just in case we need help later).

Congrats to the BFP's and condolences to the AF's. Baby dust to all!!
DizzyNorthernBird · 11/05/2015 06:52

Temp has gone back up today Hmm. Only by 0.1 degrees though but I feel shitty this morning like I've got a migraine coming on. I'm still sure AF is coming, just packed a load of tampax in my bag for work! Hmm

dizzym how are you? Is it 'proper' AF?

autonomousplum · 11/05/2015 07:07

rummages around for prescription
dizzy am sorry! Never nice. Flowers
Good friends on other side of world sent word of baby due later this year. Am happy but also miserable now. Boo-ooooo. I'm so selfish.
I also appear to have gained back the half a stone I lost a couple of months ago. Eat yourself pregnant my ass. Eat yourself fatter more likely. I was just about to start looking hopefully at some old clothes I haven't been able to wear for a while. Angry

Queenbee30 · 11/05/2015 07:17

purdieeeeee that is so exciting!!! Good ol' parents!!

Ahh dizzy and nomio sorry for AF/bfn.

pug Sardinia sounds lovely! I'm off for a little mini break without the DH in June, but no other hols planned yet.

eskimo good luck for your blood tests, hope you get an answer for your awol AF very soon. Or better still, a big big bfp!

boris glad you've arrived safely. hope you sneaked in some cocktails and a massive hotel dinner! Your boss sounds like a flacid, boil ridden, crusty cock. Fingers crossed for an ace new job very soon.

CD16. Bored bored. Long cycles are so dull. I'm worried I didn't ov on my last cycle and now panicking already that I won't on this one. Hoping for a peak in a few days....

Morning

Merry, that's shitHmm

Baby and Dizzy, fx af stays away for you both.

Queen, hope you get your +opk soon.

Purdie, omfg!!!!!! Wow! How amazing is your Dad. Fantastic news for you, I'm really happy for you and it made me cry!

Af arrived for me last night, I was totally guttedSad why did I allow myself to think I might be pregnant. Maybe it was late because of the move, I don't know. It's just shit. We get the results of dps second SA later this week so we're going to see if there's any improvement and then seriously chat about ivf.

Sorry if I missed anyone, hope
You're all doing ok xx

So sorry spinning and Merry Flowers

Am getting strangely excited about starting peeing on opks tomorrow. Fx I actually get a positive result this month! Am hopeful that the dual hormone ones will be more successful :)

purdiepie · 11/05/2015 08:14

BabyBump, I presume you were taken off the stats because you don't post anymore. We had a clear-out of LPBs. I did ask after you several times and wondered about your top shelf Smile

Aux, is your friend your age?

Spinning, it is beyond rubbish. I hope you go for IVF Thanks

loopylou1984 · 11/05/2015 08:34

Sorry Spinning - we probably didn't help getting all excited for you. I'm just at the start of the IVF journey so you can some sit next to me and we can face it together.

Purdey that's good isn't it, you missed yesterday and will AI today and then probably ov tomorrow? Sounds like good timing to me. Xx

nightandthelight · 11/05/2015 08:58
