Hoping for a positive November! Old thread too big to post messages

[cityangel]

Hey November bunnes, perhaps it's me but it says thread too big to post messages? If it is me then just then this thread die.

Thanks for everyone's advice on temping and OPKs it is very useful. ready4 I fancy a snooze it was tough getting out of bed today. Miserable weather out there.

Hi Chooster aka rr. Sounds like a good plan! I also work in IT for a bank, but all my colleagues are male so I'd be very surprised if they came up to me at the coffee machine and wanted to discuss the unthinkable

Not long to go for us now in Nov... 13 days

Happy Friday

Hello November ladies!

Hi KitKat - how clever of you to remember about me and my job! I am hoping to hear about the job I would really like early this coming week, everything crossed! How are you feeling? positive? not long to wait now! Babydust to you my friend!

Honeyapple - we all know how you feel, it is an emotional rollercoaster isn't it? keep talking to us though and we'll all keep each other sane

Greedy I am sure you are a fabulous Mum, especially with your sense of humour, I bet you need it with kids!

Hello Chooster - I'm never going to get used to the new name! Hope you are feeling good and not sick yet!

Babydust to all of you still in the game for November!

i am sad! i should be happy cos one of my friends told me yesterday she is 12wks pg, but i am a horrible person and i am very jealous. i feel like a complete knob too cos i have been banging on since april (when we started ttc) about me me me and ttc and she has been pg for the past 12wks and not said anything. it made me feel really stupid! i am really happy for her, but i guess i am a bit upset she didnt say anything sooner and embaressed that i have been going on about me me me! although i am doing it again now aren't i?
ALSO..... i still havent ovulated and its starting to piss me off! i am getting fed up of HAVING to BD! i want to BD cos i want to BD and not just for the sake of it, and then today i have started spotting again! my body is crap ( and fat, by the way!) and i hate it!!!!!!!
ok.........enough!!!!!!
can i ask........mrsmcjnr and 'chooster!' did you know each other before MN or meet on here and arrange to meet in RL? how odd! and scarey!
how are you feeling chooster chops! (not sure where that came from, but i think it has a nice ring to it!) and how is old 'king of bods' and bubble and any other november ladies who progressed to the 'due in july' thread?
kitkat........how are you? tested yet?
i think i am going to be a fraud as a november lady cos i dont think AF will be due now till early dec.....who knows hey with my 'heap of a body'!

Greedyguzzler - are you sure you're not me?!!!

Really strange, but I'm having exactly the same thoughts at the moment. Best friend told me, she's 11 weeks pg yesterday - she was a bit sheepish about telling me, as she knows I've been trying for over a year now for number 2 (had mc earlier this year). I'm happy, but it also tore my heart out - her DS is 3 weeks older than my DD, so I always hoped we'd be pg again together.

Also, I'm on CD30 today and still no sign of ovulation!! Feeling really frustrated with my body and sad, self-centred and everything else....

But makes me feel better that I'm not the only one feeling this way! IFKWIM?

Here's hoping we both ov soon. I joined this thread at the beginning of the month, but then thought I shouldn't obsess about TTC, but I can't help it, I am. Probably the reason, I've not ov'd yet - too stressed! Probably also a fraud on this thread, as it will be december before I've any chance of testing/AF!!

Take care!

babyfettle - i love you!
you made me feel better! sorry about your m/c and sorry about your friend, its horrible isnt it! obviously you do feel happy for them, but jealous at the same time and then really guilty for feeling jealous and not being more happy! the thing that really pissed me off about my friend was that she kept MOANING about how ill she felt and didnt even seem happy to be pg!
do you normally have long cycles? i used to, but last 2 were 31 and 30 days so i thought i was more regular now, but obviously not! i have just joined the dec thread too cos i feel like i dont belong here anymore! join it with me!
keep smiling!

hi girls not had a chance to catch up yet - but i sympathise with the latest few comments

re ovulation signs, i'm beginning to doubt everything i knew, and everything i've 'learnt' since reading mumsnet. totally confused by cycle, signs and currently trying to get my head around why i can't get up any enthusiasm to get down to business with dh. only managed twice this month.

finally, where is the new 'take charge of your fertility book'? i've had mine on order from play.com since october, and it's due november - yet no sign. maybe i should just get the old one.

Morning girls

greedy/babyf - I think what you're feeling is completely normal. It's impossible not to feel jealous - especially when you have to cope with disappointment month after month. This is going to sound ridiculous, but I think you have just let yourself feel how you need to feel - it's not wrong or bad, it's just how you feel. My BF is also TTC at the moment, and I'd be so pleased for her if she fell first, but I also know that I'd feel like someone punched me in the stomach too...IFYKWIM??! We're complicated beings - best not to unravel too many strings!!!!

I'm feeling OK, CD31 today and no sign of AF yet - although it really, really feels like it's on its way. I caved and did a test on Sun (12dpo) and it was BFN . Maybe do another one tomorrow if there's still no sign. Dont think this is my month though...reckon I'm just late bec of all the stress and worry.

Will keep my fingers crossed about the job MrsMcJ - let us know how you get on?! Read on another thread about your DH's op - hope everything goes well and he makes a speedy recovery.

Hey girls, hope you are all keeping well!

Greedy - MrsMcJ 'met' on here and then actually met in real life - its been lovely having a new pal - especially one that is also ttc obsessed Hi MrsMcJ . I'm doing well thanks Greedy! I have no morning sickness at all, which worries me a bit as I've had it with my 3 previous PG's, but I'm feeling great so should be very grateful.

Re: the jealousy feelings, its all so so so natural. Its difficult when its a close friend, but the jealousy just takes you over doesn't it!

KitKat - Hope the AF stays away for you, and hope OV happens for those still waiting!

KitKat I am thinking of you and am very hopefull (everything crossed) I know how hard it is and am feeling pretty low myself today.
I got a lower temperature this morning CD27 so I am expecting AF I go OPK on CD17 so maybe I have a shorter luteal phase than I thought.

Or maybe I am not temping as accurately as I could and should just wait and see
Dh is being very supportive. He doesn't seem to like bd pressure and I am worried I put him under too much pressure last month

Hello Chooster, I am sure you will get those annoying symptoms soon enough. Not that I have any experience of this myself It must be nice to meet new friends in person. A lot of our mates are men and most are dating females that are younger than me or into going out rather than starting a family.

Good luck to anyone else left on Nov... let us know how you get on KitKat

fingers crossed for you kitkat, i really hope you can add to the list of nov bfps!
female.....when is your bfp/af due!?

fingers (and nipple tassles) crossed for you to cityangel!

Can I just say how much I love these boards??!! You girls are so supportive, it makes my little heart runneth over!

Hello November ladies! Not many days left now, let's hope we get bumper results on here. Who is still in the game for November? KitKat, Greedy, Babyfettle, Cityangel & Female, anyone else?

Greedy - you are not horrible we all deal with TTC in different ways and some people just take to the hills and don't talk to a soul about it. I have a friend who is into her 3rd month of pregnancy and still won't share any info with me! meanie! It's only natural to be envious when someone has what you desperatley want. You are allowed to say whatever you like on here anyway so let rip girl! (not a reference to farting by the way ) you are CD21, you don't think you have ov why? are you tracking temps and CM? know you are doing OPKS but they can be useless in my opinion and now you are spotting, could be interesting Greedy! Fingers crossed!

Hey Chooster TTC obsessed in a good way, yes!? Glad you are feeling great. Also, I want you to know that you getting your BFP put me on such a high, it was almost as good as if I got mine!!

Babyfettle - hope things get easier for you too! sorry to hear about your MC plenty of room on Dec if you want to join us, maybe a bit of reverse psychology will help!

Female - sorry you are fed up and feeling low sending you big hugs, I would take it out on that website if I were you. You should have your book by now.

KitKat - sorry that you got a BFN but it's not over yet, 38% of pregnancies don't show until later on so hang in there. If you wait until 15dpo, 80% of peple get a BFP then as opposed to 74% on 14dpo. Thank you for your good wishes for me.

Cityangel - sorry you are feeling low can we help? we are aleays here for you you know even if your RL friends are at different stages, we understand where you are at! When you say you got OPK on cd17, do you know that you OVd on that day by temps as it could have been later and even if it wasn't, your temps can dip during the 2ww, are they above your coverline still? Try not to worry

Babydust showers to you all ladies!

Pinkish CM for me now... pretty sure this is the beginning of AF Looks I'll be joining that Dec thread after all!!

still got to hold on KitKat but if we do see you over there, you'll be made very welcome

Thanks hon. This is so shit, it really is. I feel silly for moaning because I know you (and others) have been at it for so much longer...but it's heartbreaking every bloody time. As if I need to tell you?!

Will shake it off soon ? 1st day of AF is always the worst!

why does it have to be so bloody hard?!?

I know . Don't feel silly, it's the same for eveyone.

HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KitKat, I feel guilty for getting upset too when others have been trying for longer. But it's only natural to feel disappointed. When you want something so much and it doesn't come as easy as you hoped it is bound to be upsetting. Hang in there chick!!

Oh yes MrsMc - ttc obsessed in a good way Thanks for your kind words too!!! I can't wait til your BFP - am sure its just around the corner! How does DH feel about the op on Wednesday?

Oh Firststar - it is so good to hear thing are going well

Chooster - DH is more excited about the thought that today is his last day of work this year than worried about the op! I have persuaded him to take tomorrow off to update his ipod, get books ready and get mentally preped for the op. I have been reading up on the internet (what else would you expect from me!? ) and have read some great things about his consultant so that is a great comfort! How are you?

Hello November ladies still hanging in there. sorry to hear you are all sounding a bit glum and fed up and stop beating yourselves up! I agree with MrsMcJ about doing the opks. I never used them because they put too much emphasis on when the "right" time is.

Greedy - you sound very down in the dumps. I am trying to think of somehting suitably hilarious to cheer you up as you have done for us all in the past few weeks. Umm, how about, Mr Bodking saying to me last night after a bit of bedroom action "ooh, blimey, hope that doesn't give you twins" !! Hmm, not that funny after all, but I cracked up at the time.

Also, I read what you said about telling DP not to worry about "finishing you off"!! That's what helps get you up the duff! Worked for me both times, so don't let him roll over and crash out - he's got work to do!!!!

Hi MrsMcJnr, hope you're well and feeling positive about December.

Feeling fine and dandy myself apart from having the snottiest cold I've ever had. Bogies and snot everywhere. Lovely.

Goodluck to everyone xx

at Mr Bodkin's biology - tell him you are trying for a litter!! Cold sounds nasty, sometimes I am glad you guys are virtual friends and I can't get your bugs!!

hello everyone! i am one confused woman! i dont know what is going on with my crappy body, but i certainly dont think its anything good! if i HAD ovulated my temp would definately have gone up wouldnt it? starting to think my spotting today could be AF on day 21! considering my cycle used to be 45 days i am now VERY confused! adise me please oh wise women!
still crossing everything toffee crisp! (sorry....not a big kitkat fan!)

mmmm toffee crisps...{grin]

Thanks everyone - appreciate your kind words Here's hoping everyone's positive thoughts will keep the old witch at bay. If not, well then I intend to eat my own body weight in toffee crisps, kitkats, flakes, twirls and dairy milk tonight. I aint fussy.
