We don't care if you obsessively chart, temp & OPK, or just do the deed a couple of times a month. As long as you want a baby & can talk copious amounts of rubbish, this is the place for you. Grin

Hi spinning! Yes I'm getting the ball rolling and seeing my GP this Friday. When I made the appointment it was because I thought I hadn't ovulated again, but then it turns out it was just very late this month. Even so it won't hurt to get checked out Smile

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 13:03

spinnin oh right I see, I couldn’t do it – I too enjoy my bra free evenings!

I have just ordered a mooncup for AF and BOP/BNOPBRSTS (Bum not on pillow but rocking side to side) Grin

DizzyMerry · 22/06/2015 13:13

Lots to catch up on!

Pixa your puppy is adorable. She's so cute and does actually look mischevious! When do you bring her home?

Pug have a great time in Sardinia. Sounds absolute bliss.

Sammy hope all goes well at your appointment today. I hope you invoke the law of so and get your bfp this cycle.

Chops how are you doing? Stalk away but feel free to post too.

Lucie wishing you lots of luck. Keep us posted.

Ibeka and Pikz sorry for bfn's.

Dizzy so pleased you finally ovulated. Hope AF arrives soon and you can start trying again.

Welcome Madame and Putney.

Putney don't stress about what work will think because it doesn't matter and there's nothing they will be able to say or do. If you want another child go for it. There's no point putting it off and like dizzyn says they won't thank you for it!

I'm on cd13. Had faint opks on cd10 and 11 but blank yesterday. I usually ov on cd13 so don't know what's going on. Haven't heard from CARE Fertility yet but will give them a few more days before I contact them.

loopylou1984 · 22/06/2015 13:14

Haha mummy! Love it! BNOPBRSTS! And even more I love that my phone tried to change that to: Bebop rats!!

Reading back now...

Reluctantnympho · 22/06/2015 13:23

Welcome putney don't worry about work Flowers just go for it!
Cycle day 19 here, and I cried at dd's sports day (also wet myself when they forced me to join in the mums race- but that's another story!) and I feel as though dh is a massive irritant! I think they must be symptoms! (Even though eggy would not even be implanting yet!) Hmm

MadameLeota · 22/06/2015 13:37

Thank you mummy, here are my stats: 26, TTC #1, Cycle #2, AF due Monday 29th so fingers crossed BFP shortly after.

Sammy and Lucie good luck today, one step closer Smile

Queenbee30 · 22/06/2015 14:20

Hi! I'm back, I'm ill and I'm on cd7. So how are you all?!

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 14:59

Queen sorry you're feeling poo. Nearly time for COC then! 5-7 DPO today here, not feeling hopeful though for some reason. At 8dpo on my BFP month my boobs had gone hard, they feel really squishy at the moment.

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 15:10

What's up queen?

I'm in the BNOP club, except my preferred method is to lie on back for 10/15 mins then roll onto my front for a while Grin.

Well I've just had a rather bizarre and icky experience. Some of you might remember I had a referral to the ENT dept a few weeks ago because of general snot and ear problems I have (a runny and bunged up nose every morning and evening along with issues with my throat and ears). Anyway, after the Dr told me there was nothing wrong with me, he told me to order a 'nasal irrigator' to help with the runny nose as it gets on my nerves & feels like post nasal drip ALL OF THE TIME Angry. I've just tried it for the first time.....you have a squeezy bottle and you squirt saline solution up your nose and it comes squirting out of the other nostril! Weird!! Now I've gone all dizzy which I'm hoping is a good sign! Grin.

I wish they had such a simple contraption to help with getting pg......sigh.

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/06/2015 15:11

Mummyofonesofar · 22/06/2015 15:49

DizzyN that sounds awful - is it working? I wouldn't like that at all.

megarobotdiscoparty · 22/06/2015 15:53

Place marking! I have a lot to catch up on!

cd24 today, still no sign of ov. Come on AF, I want to start cycle 9 with my baby-boosting Clomid!

MadameLeota · 22/06/2015 18:37

Back from scan and blood test. One ovary visible through external ultra sound, one visible from internal ultra sound. Apparently my ovaries are quite high! They don't seem inflamed and no follicles or cysts visible (day 22 today) so that seems positive right? My 'lovely thick womb lining' made it hard to see. Guess I'm just going to have to wait until the doctor's appointment in a week or so to find out what it all means!

ThePug · 22/06/2015 18:41

Welcome newbies putney and madame I hope you enjoy your time here as much as possible Smile

Thanks for all the holiday wishes, unfortunately I still have another 4 days of work to get through before I go so I'll be here for the rest of the week!

mummy Well done on doing the big family roast yesterday even with a hangover; I'm sure it was much appreciated by all.

DizzyN Ooh is that like a neti pot? I've seen them before and thought they looked good! Whenever I have a cold I always say to DH I wish I could take my head off and run a tap through it to clear it out, which is exactly what they seem to achieve! Why did the Dr think that would help if he didn't diagnose anything wrong though? Hmm

queen Sorry you're feeling ick. At least it is in the part of your cycle where you don't have to have CoC unless for some bizarre reason you want to

nympho What about sports day made you cry?! Were they winning or losing?! Fx it's a good sign for you

Sammy How did your appt go?

Lucie So excited for you! I hope you enjoy spending the time with your mum, too

Boris Did you make a Drs appt about the weird bleeding? Has it stopped completely now?

Weighing in on the BOP/BNOP debate I have never BoP'd or done anything in particular after CoC. I'm not sure anything makes much difference once they've been shot up there tbh!

Have started my opks; mid-coloured lines yesterday and today so hopefully look on track for a normal-ish cycle with ov at the end of the week. CM is somehow sticky and watery at the same time though which is weird.

nightandthelight · 22/06/2015 18:46

Also lurking! Fx for you Lucie, really hope that this one is your bfp :)

15 forms Sammy?! That is insane.

Hello newbies, hope your journey is v short!

Putneymummy1 · 22/06/2015 18:51

Thanks for the welcomes!Grin x

Putneymummy1 · 22/06/2015 19:02

Sorry Mummy just remembered I didn't answer your q. We conceived DS first time we DTD unprotected. Not even first cycle - first time! I know this because we were travelling and staying with parentsetc so sex was sparse and we'd only just decided to stop not trying! I know it was very lucky and I'm pretty sure it will not happen again! I was 38 and a bit and now I'm 39 and a lot! I'm now waiting and am due to get af on 5th July. As this is first cycle ever actively ttc ill prob cave and do a first response before then! X

HopesUpKnickersDown · 22/06/2015 19:38

Place marking...can someone save me a seat at the back near the gin?

Welcome Putney and Madame!

6th day dtd and no temp rise..send help!! ????

megarobotdiscoparty · 22/06/2015 19:58

nympho I am dying to hear the story of the sports day - it sounds dramatic and emotional! Hope you're ok love!

lucie THIS WEEKEND, holy moly. are you giddy as a goat?? I am so excited for you. Please keep us updated.

Pug hols sound heavenly, am most jealous. Are you thinking ov may be just in time for arriving there? Bit of wine on the terrace and then some holiday sunset CoC? Hope the next few days sail by quickly!

pixa waaargh, your puppy! Too cute! The naughty ones are the most fun. Maybe she can hang out with us at the back of the bus Grin. When is she arriving?

hello madame and putney - nice to see some newbies!

mummy loving the naughty Saturday night action, a girl after my own heart! Hope Sunday wasn't too much of a slog with a hangover. I'm interested as to how you get on with a mooncup - please report back! I have been meaning to get round to getting one since my AFs started up but a bit worried of making a mess! That's a good tip on the digis for me too...like Dizzyn I'm a bit worried I got stressed and scared my egg on its starting blocks this month. Poor, timid egg.

dizzynorthern that sounds freaky... but was it also strangely satisfying??

Queen! There you are! Sorry you're poorly, what's up my lovely?

dizzymerry hope your appointment comes through soon. those pesky opks! Mine have started building back up again after going to blank last week. It's amazing how quickly they seem to turn though. Have you have any other ov symptoms - if you normally get them?

sammy how did your appointment go? How are you feeling now it's so nearly here?? Hope any sadness has now been replaced with a bit more excitement... or focus at least if that makes sense. I'm also looking forward to a month with the fertility clinic having to worry about when I'm ovulating for a change - will be a nice rest!

spinnin hope your students are behaving themselves! We have a similar scheme at work, I was thinking of doing it to earn some cash for treatment but a bit concerned about having my space invaded. Do you have to entertain them in the evenings/weekends too?

boymama not long til testing time now...

nomio how is the house buying going? thanks for starting the new thread!

boris how long have you been bleeding for now? sounds like a good idea to get it checked out. hope you're feeling ok and had a good weekend?

waving to chops and night - hope you're doing ok ladies!

ahhh there you are knickers! Come and sit here, there's plenty of gin and fancy tonic for you. Have a swig and then get back on that CoC horse! I'm shaking pom-poms, cheerleader style (not actually while you're doing it, that would be weird) YOU CAN DO IT!

Sorry to anyone I've missed! It's been a busy weekend where I've cuddled about 12826389 newborn babies, which was wonderful (especially as they're nearly all the babies of good friends) - but I was still a bit wistful! Wishing the days away til AF now, hoping it's not a long wait. Getting teenager skin so hoping that's a good (ish??) sign. Missed you all over the weekend!

HopesUpKnickersDown · 22/06/2015 20:22

Robot you do make me laugh! Thanks for the pom pom shaking but I'm totally CoC'd out..I'm going to have to dig deep and go for it...I'll just watch Enders first. Saying that even dh is looking knackered, hope we don't have a 'failure to launch' issue on our hands ????

Hope af shows up soon so you can start your clomid cycle lovely ladySmile

Reluctantnympho · 22/06/2015 20:54

pug I don't know why it made me cry (parents eve always does aswell!)
knickers sending an ice pack and some soothing anti chaff cream to soothe sore bits after excessive dtding
at night
Keeping everything crossed for you lucie

Reluctantnympho · 22/06/2015 21:00

mega I'm just an emotional wreck!
But I was forced into the moms race (I work there, so they made me!) during which time I wee weed myself (just a little bit) and because I was wearing white trousers I had to tie my cardi around my waist to hide possible wee stains! Then to top it off they forced me up again to do the bouncy hopper race, where I promptly fell off and got grass stains on my afore mentioned white trousers Blush I need Wine after today!

HopesUpKnickersDown · 22/06/2015 21:05

Nympho I'm glad it's not just me, I cry at absolutely everything that I go at school, I'm such a tit. Thanks for the icepack!

Pug it's 4 weeks until my holiday too, let's get packing!

Queen hope you're feeling better soon ????

Lucie exciting times, wishing you lots of luck and keeping everything crossed!

Boris hope the bleeding has stopped and you've managed to speak with a proper gp rather than the panic inducing Dr Google.

Mummy roast with a hangover...I take my hat off to you!

DizzyN I hope it works for you!

Waves to all the other lovely ladies Smile

loopylou1984 · 22/06/2015 21:20

Hi All

Sorry for not updating sooner, appointment totally drained me.

So we went through everything, she showed us the meds and how to mix them up and store them. I then had to practice stabbing myself in the stomach, it was terrifying but once I'd actually got the courage to do it it was fine.
Appointment last an hour and 40 minutes!
So providing AF arrives Monday as expected I will have my first scan on the Thursday (2nd) and start injections that evening. We're looking at potential egg collection on the 13th (I think).

Phew that was a long me post, I promise to catch up with you all tomorrow, I'm just too tired right now. Xx

megarobotdiscoparty · 22/06/2015 21:25

Thanks knickers - hope you manage to revive each other this evening....stick on some Barry White...

nympho no! that sounds like a day and a half. Thank heavens you had your cardie with you . Wine definitely needed!
