Geek - how embarrassed am I? talk about teaching your Granny to suck eggs! so sorry. Does that mean though that you can solve my problem? I am trying to move my software to another computer without losing my past cycles, how can I move them?

Temp dropped by .3 this morning

Hugs to my ttc buddies MrsMC and Ready for cheering me up. Things are miserable in the office as lots of redundancies are taking place.

I'm job hunting and have run out of jobs to apply for. I'll admit to finally giving in and looking at baby products online as the ttc #1 thread got me thinking. I shall post my findings on there!

Off to try and buy the thermometer battery online again if I can find it!

Ready · 26/03/2007 16:02

Group hug

Cityangel - That is awful about the uncertainty at work - hope that you get some stability soon. In the mean time, enjoy daydreaming about what gorgeous things you will buy for your baby!! Looking forward to seeing what wonderful things you have been looking at!

MrsMc - You ARE doing really well!!! What do I know, anyway!! Give me a slap, and tell me to mind my own beeswax I think you are amazingly strong - I just wanted to remind you not to put too much pressure on yourself, just in case you had forgotten

3catstoo · 26/03/2007 19:06

Hi Ladies,

I must be quick as DH is on his way home.

Well he did NOT reach for the drawer this weekend . Lets hope he feels the same this coming weekend.

Must dash now before he gets in.

MrsMcEasterBunny · 26/03/2007 20:33

Poor you Cityangel that is not a nice position to be in. I hope you find something suitable soon, when will you know if your job is ok? Very stressful I can imagine.

Ready ? oooohhh! I like hugs! Group hug Thanks for being there for me. How are you incidentally? Enough about me!

3cats ? that?s great news!!!!

yum03creameggs · 26/03/2007 21:33

3cats - yippy, hope your dh forgets again for you... sounds like he is not so certain afterall!

Ready - I missed out on the last group hug, can we have another one... I think you need some support for the next few days.

Cityangel - hope that things don't get too nasty at work with the redundancies, and that you are able to focus on other things instead.

MrsMc - I think that you and your dh should just keep at it like rabbits anyway. If this is an annovalatory cycle, then it is just getting you ready for the next one. Just think of is as a shag-a-thon! Hope you like my unimaginative easter name too!

3catstoo · 27/03/2007 09:40

Cityangel, Good luck with the job hunting.It must be very unsettling fot you. Big hugs (((((((((hugs))))))))).

What baby stuff are you looking up? (How nosey am I)

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 27/03/2007 10:26

GROUP HUG (esp for Mum03)

MrsMcEasterBunny - Sometimes a hug is the best medicine Well, you will wish you hadn't asked how I was, I am a little low at the minute... I just can't seem to visualise myself ever being PG (and that is scaring me!) and now BF has announced she is pg (2nd attempt) - I just feel like such a bloody (sorry) failure. My eggs are failing me, and what's worse is that I feel as though I am letting DH down I'm trying to keep my mind occupied, with my course (creative writing, since you asked on the other thread ) but I just drift off into thoughts of winding up old with no children. It's times like this I am really glad I found MN... no-one else in the world understands!
Anyway, enough of my waffle... I read on the other thread that your Mum is not being very supportive of your emotions. It's such a shame. But I suppose the only thing I can say is that, although she is your Mum and you really want her to show you she cares, you have to just trust that she does, but doesn't know how to cope with what you have been through. Is she normally an emotional person?? Big hug though, sometimes all we need is our mum's isn't it!!

3cats He didn't reach for the drawer eh?? Fingers crossed he never does I am the biggest culprit at being nosy me, I can't wait for Cityangel to show us her finds

Yum03CreamEggs - Group Hug Thank you for you support, as you will have seen, me chewing MrsMc's ear off, I am not having a chipper day today... I just don't feel as if we maximised our chances this month. Oh well. How are you? I keep meaning to ask you. How is your DS since the op?

Cityangel - Come on, don't leave us hanging - share your baby bounty

citydevilbunny · 27/03/2007 10:39

thanks for all your kind words.. found out my contract has been renewed after all this morning I am still hunting for a permie role as that would be better if pg.

ovenReady My findings aren't that interesting but I will post them this morning

3bunnies I hope it continues to work out

3cream eggs sounds like a tough time how are you feeling?

My bloody chart raised the cover line so high I nearly deleted it in anger this morning, but we'll see This is our last month of trying before our first hospital appointment.

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 27/03/2007 10:57

I was going to ask CityDevilBunny (like it!) about your coverline, what's that all about!!

MrsMcEasterBunny · 27/03/2007 11:06

Yum03 (still love the name!) I?m too old for a shag-a-thon! you are right though, why not?!

Great name for you too Ready yum, just eaten one of those (cold though! )
Sorry you are feeling low; I put a visualisation exercise on the temping thread that I know you?ll like! why wouldn?t it happen for you babe? You are not a failure! Just because someone else falls easily, that doesn?t reflect on you! Don?t hit me but in the scheme of things, you haven?t been trying that long. I can say that now because I thought it was an age between starting TTC and getting my BFP but when you get it, you?ll realise that it wasn?t really. I promise! You are not letting DH down, don?t be absurd it is about a combination of you both, neither one of you can be congratulated or blamed, it?s a totally joint event in every way and you have no reason to think otherwise. You are in the home strait this cycle anyway, you?ve done the work, now relax and re-coup and if this is not your lucky cycle and who knows, it may well be, you?ll be better prepared for next You will wind up old, yes, I can tell you that but old and happy with years and years of happiness beforehand Sending you a huge hug, it is hard all of this but so worth it so chin up and !

Your course sounds interesting, not tempted to write a TTC diary of all the ups and downs and lows and highs? It would sell like hot cakes. We?d all give you permission to use our characters but in it, I?d like to be slim and gorgeous please!!

Citydevilbunny ? excellent! that?s great about your contract, some breathing space charts hey? Still fallen out with mine for calling me infertile!

Hello to 3cats (have you seen my photo of my 3cats on my profile!?

3catstoo · 27/03/2007 18:22

Good news Citydevilbunny.

How do I see profiles Mceasterbunny?

Am I 3bunnies?

3catstoo · 28/03/2007 09:43

Morning All,

Sorry about AFs LL and iwillbe.
Your chart is bizarre Citydevil. Wonder what's going on there.
Mrs, is it possible that you could Ov very late as your cycle gets back into the swing?

citydevilbunny · 28/03/2007 10:28

Hi 3catbunnies yes my chart is a nightmare so I have made an executive decision to ignore it and hope my cover line drops and temps stay up!

As an asside I went to see Wicked the musical and recommend it to those with kids it was really good. Its a big theatre with high seats so if you do go try and get seats lower down.

Hang in there MrsMC here's hoping it will kick start

MrsMcEasterBunny · 28/03/2007 10:35

Hi 3bunnies If you click on MrsMcJnr in the posting details on a post it will take you to them, don?t know why it won?t take you there from my seasonal name I suppose I could OV very late, there?s always hope until AF turns up but if I?m not going to, I?m impatient to get onto the next cycle if you see what I mean! How are things with you? Time to get busy for you!

Citydevilbunny ? I think your illness at the start of the cycle hitched your temps so high that your post ov ones don?t look high when they actually are ? does that make sense? Those dpo dips are odd but the temps are looking positive now!

Mum03 ? how have you posted for tomorrow?

OvenReady ? how are your temps today?

Cedar, Minxi ? fingers crossed

Sorry about AF Iwillbe

I haven?t managed to update my chart but both days have been 36.0. Having twinges in my boobs, very odd!

yum03creameggs · 28/03/2007 13:25

MrsMCBuns - who me! no I would never get confused and post on the wrong day, you must have read it wrong! (OK I made a mistake, , I temped, and then I had the idiocy to put it on the wrong day!) Your putting on extra blankets on your bed trying to reach up to coverline are you?!?!? , this cycle might not be over yet!

MrsMcEasterBunny · 28/03/2007 15:12

drinking tea whilst temping too!

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 28/03/2007 16:52

MrsMcEasterBunny - As I said on the other thread, your visualisation tech really helped me. I know that cycle 8 is just over the hill for me, but I am at ease with it. Another steady temp for me today, but they usually are at this stage, it's the niggling achy pains in my tummy that are unmistakable! Of course you are right, I am not letting DH down, and I shouldn't think like that!
Yes, I am very tempted to write something about the ttc business... I just want to have my baby first. I don't want to be writing about success or failure when I am still in limbo - if you see what I mean?
How are your boob twinges?? Very intriguing

Citydevilbunny - That really is good news about your job, but good luck looking for something permanent all the same.

How's everyone else doing? I am going to go and have a nosy at the charts now

citydevilbunny · 28/03/2007 18:34

Yes I think the Agnus Castus and heavy cough/ cold may have pushed my temps up.
Sadly the early sign of wanting and eating lots of sweets is here so I fear AF is around the corner.

MrsMcEasterBunny · 29/03/2007 11:52

Hello Ready glad the visualisation helped. It works for me I?ve been doing it so much I can smile baby powder on it?s little feet when I kiss it?s toes You just never know, the pains are caused by progesterone and you?ll still have that surge if you were pg too so you just don?t know! The book doesn?t have to have an ending ? it?s about being in between being a Mum and hoping to be one! Still having twinges but felt very pre-men yest as opposed to pre-ov and though temp went up this morning to 36.3, I think it might be AF on her way, which is fine, I really don?t mind who shows up first Cousin Ov or AF as long as one of them does!

Hope you are wrong Cityangelbunny

Off to chart spot?..

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 29/03/2007 16:07

City if sweets are the marker, then AF is due for me all the time I hope that you are just starting to crave naughty things in prep for eating sensibly during your pg

MrsMc - I am clearly still learning at this ttc game... so the progesterone is what causes the cramps! So it is possible to get the same feelings but be pg? Well, that throws my theory of knowing through no pains out the window! LOL at first cousin I can understand you being ok with whatever comes your way - because at least then you will be getting back into a rhythm! Fingers crossed for you

MrsMcEasterBunny · 29/03/2007 16:46

Ready its my "Trying again" after a mc book, a wealth of info I never knew before including the possible symptoms of a MC like loss of vision and dizziness, I wish I'd known before what to look out for as all the signs were there but hopefuly it's knowledge I'll never need again!

Sunshinedays · 29/03/2007 17:01

Hi - Sorry to barge in - but MrsMcBunny - does your fab new book mention zinc at all - I'm still on that path at the mo! (oh, and lunar phase of course !)
Thanks

MrsMcEasterBunny · 29/03/2007 17:05

not sure, don't think so but I'll check! I've been taking it though since we were given that friendly advice. How are you doing?

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 29/03/2007 17:09

at loss of vision and dizziness How awful. I sincerely hope you will never need that knowledge again!!

Sunshinedays · 29/03/2007 17:15

Hi good ... today. But had a bit of a funny time really. It's odd but I think your experience affected my quite a lot. Since we both started with the same brown spotting I felt an affinity to your scenario, I was really hoping you would get through it - sort of gave me hope. Then your m/c (albeit a number of weeks later than mine) kinda started a bit of grieving in me too (also coincided with the mother of all PMT!)
In the long run I think it has helped me -IYSWIM.
Though this weekend has been tough as my BF has told me she is 6 wks pg - after a few months of 'sort of' trying (and training for the marathon) I'm delighted for her.... but has made me feel pretty inadequate. I've been doing some soul searching and am feeling more upbeat today... not long til IVF!

Glad you are starting to get back your mojo
Sx
