Keepatit, that seems a long time for results! I'm sure mine were much quicker.

Sammy, cake sounds lovely! I've made a cake nearly everyday for 10 weeks! The students love them and I love baking.

Woolly84 · 23/08/2015 18:43

Hi ladies! Back from our little trip away which was a bit grey but good!

ral I hope it's a late bfp for you - good luck!

rainy and kirjava sorry you were both feeling down, hope you're better now Flowers I agree rainy it's good to try and focus on other things, I've been doing that last couple of months and feel a lot better for it.

spinning hope the packing finishes soon!

keepatit welcome! Smile good luck with your tests.

Hope everyone else is ok.
AF all done here so back to business! I've not used OPKs or temped last couple of months, but will OPK this month I think as I have some to use up anyway.

Keepatit · 23/08/2015 18:44

oh! Hopefully it will be quicker. I'll ring them in two weeks (that's a decent amount of time for them to come back isn't it?!)

spinningirl10 · 23/08/2015 18:53

Wooly, fx for you this cycle Smile

Keepatit, yes I think 2 weeks is a good time to chase them up.

Keepatit · 23/08/2015 19:07

This is probably going to sound really weird, but in s way I do hope it is me that is the issue (obviously that can be rectified with medication). I know the DH wouldn't cope if it was due to him - he already feels like it is his fault Sad

Rainy34 · 23/08/2015 19:34

Thanks Kirjava might give the 100mg a go next month

DizzyNorthernBird · 24/08/2015 00:19

Evening!

Well, that'll be me out for August. My weekend went from shit to fucking shit.

So after yesterday mornings annoyance when DP fucked off out for the day, I suddenly had a load of wet cm. did an opk and it looked like I was surging. "whoopee"! I think to myself....as long as there's not thermal shift on Sunday morning I can jump DP and catch that egg. Went off to work feeling better.

Hmpf.

So I go to work at 15.00 and a big job comes in.......and I don't finish work until 06.00 this morning Shock. I'm told that I have to be back in the office by noon. So I get home & into bed at 0700, DP wakes me up at 10.15 with breakfast then I get ready for work and go straight back in......and don't finish until 23.00. I've just got home now and DP is fast asleep. Tomorrow we won't see each other because our shifts clash Angry.

I have no idea whether I've ovulated yet because I couldn't temp this morning because I only got 2 3/4 hours sleep Shock.... But chances are we've missed out by now.

I need a new job.

Kirjava · 24/08/2015 05:17

Bfn on a frer at 9dpo. I know it's twerly! Im such an idiot.

Kirjava · 24/08/2015 06:10

...and pink spotting. I'm out.

spinningirl10 · 24/08/2015 07:27

Oh Dizzy, that's totally shit!!!! You must be knackered and super pissed off at missing dtd. If you can manage I would dtd as soon as you're home together. I'm sure we always stop too soon......you never know, you may catch it!

Kir, I feel your pain. I'm out too, temp dropped below the coverline, just waiting for af nowHmm

DizzyNorthernBird · 24/08/2015 07:48

spinning I've woken up this morning and still haven't got a temp rise anyway! So I was getting annoyed about nothing!

Yes I'm fed up and knackered, I've got to be back in at 10.00 so I've just got up for breakfast & a shower.....that'll probably be me stuck at work until 2300 again so I won't see DP. Then on Tuesday I'm on my day off but will be away all day and back late again. So Wednesday would be our earliest chance. Grr! But if I'm not going to ovulate this month the I suppose getting annoyed about it is pointless anyway!

Sorry for spotting kir and your temp drop spin.

ral how are you today? Things sound promising from your posts yesterday?

Kirjava · 24/08/2015 07:59

Oh dizzyn must be so hard you both working shifts. Have you got any swimmers up there from a few days ago at all? Still a chance!

DizzyNorthernBird · 24/08/2015 08:03

Nope kir! None since last Tuesday! Sad. Im hoping the stress and fatigue from my weekend of hell is delaying ov until such time as I can get some swimmers into position!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 24/08/2015 08:16

Keepatit welcome. Good luck with your tests. Agree that the results shouldn't take that long.

Kir sorry about the spotting hopefully it won't lead to anything other than a BFP

Ral your symptoms sound really promising.fx for you

We had a Sunday roast yesterday around MILs. You know how you were all saying about people being insensitive when it comes to ttc. Well I hate to tell you it doesn't get any better when you have children sometimes. My mil is a repeat offender Grin. We were talking about the house and DH said oh the house has plenty of room we could fit an extra one in. So thy asked if we were ttc to which he replied less and my MIL said "goodness you only want it if it's a Girl, Beaut doesn't want anymore boys" she then continued with how girls are so much easier & better than boys in front of my two ds who looked rather upset. I almost lost it and told her that I wanted a baby and couldn't care less what sex that baby is. Aargh I was so angry.

I'm 12dpo today no symptoms. I felt a bit sick when I got up this morning but I wonder if it's in my head I probably feel a little sick on many mornings. Af is due on Wednesday I'm going to cry Sad

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 24/08/2015 08:17

*they
*yes not less

Kirjava · 24/08/2015 08:20

beaut Urgh to your mil!!!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 24/08/2015 08:20

DizzyN I hope you manage to dtd on time. It's so frustrating. We are due to go to a friends child's first birthday party on my ovulation day next month. I don't want to go it's an two & a half hour drive. I don't want to go as he won't remember that we didn't go and I don't want to miss my window as we didn't manage to dtd on ovulation day this cycle. Next month is cycle 12 and I'm starting to get super impatient now

loopylou1984 · 25/08/2015 14:00

If anyone else has managed to log back in please talk some sense in to me!!

I stupidly poa opk this morning (mainly because I had no IC pg tests in the house) which came up positive (14dpo), so I thought 'I'll retest this afternoon and it will obviously be negative'
Just tested and that has come up positive too... I can't be ovulating can I? I mean, my charts been a bit rocky due to disturbed sleep - but FF hasn't got it wrong surely. If ov is this delayed I'll be soooo annoyed!

I can't be pg either, we only dtd once around currently predicted ov and he pulled out... I know we're told it's possible to still get pg this way, but after nearly 2 years of ttc it would be an actual miracle! X

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/08/2015 14:04

Sammylou I would have to buy a cheap pregnancy test I think and I would dtd today just in case you are ovulating. There's obviously something happening Smile

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/08/2015 14:05

When was your last full Af ?

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/08/2015 14:11

Any news RalSmile

Kirjava · 25/08/2015 14:51

Poas sammy!

DizzyMerry · 25/08/2015 15:17

Sammy get yourself a preg test!

Anyone else due to poas?

glastogal · 25/08/2015 15:19

Hiya - can I join please? Am just waiting for AF to arrive so I can start cycle 5 of TTC #1 and I could use some support during the crazy-making 2 week waits. I seem to add more and more gizmos, pills and tests to my TTC arsenal each month and although I feel I know my body a bit better, none of these fancy widgets has helped me do the job so far :) I'm nearly 36 so am hoping I have time to do this twice (guess it depends how long this one takes!?!)

Kirjava · 25/08/2015 15:22

Af is due today and hasn't shown yet. But I am spotting v v lightly so probably on her way.
