TinselledTryer - Oh sugar, I'm so sorry about AF, I am glad you are calm about it!! I know what you mean about feeling perplexed!! Last night I started getting AF cramps and just sat there in bewilderment. Why hasn't it happened again!!?? I have to confess I am not calm, I sobbed to DH yesterday, bless him, he was just stroking my hair and telling me it's still early days! Not that I listen to him

Kittiwakesnowflakes - Cycle Buddy, how are you?? Thanks very much for the hugs, I have taken them hugs before AF has actually arrived, but you can't have them back I hope I am wrong, but unfortunately they are just getting stronger so I think she might arrive tomorrow morning I am pleased there are no AF signs for you though!! fingers crossed.

Speaking of cycle buddies, where are you festivelyfrostyfloss??????? How are you??

Hi everyone ? wow this thread moves waaaay too quickly for me!!

Hope you?re all well?

TT ? so sorry about AF ? Ready and Decorative, here?s hoping AF stays away for you!

Ooh Kittiwakes ? that?s sounding hopeful! When will you be testing? Anyone else testing soon? Am hoping we?ll get a BFP this week

I?m pretty sure I ov?d yesterday ? managed to fit a BD in, despite total exhaustion! So here I go again on the 2ww?.sigh. Have been using pre-seed this month ? does anyone find the applicator really tricky to use??! I?m sure I end up leaving half the stuff in the bloody tube! . Could be just my general incompetence though?!

ImpatientElf · 07/12/2006 15:08

OK, perhaps I should be on this thread afterall: I am inseminating again already! Plenty of ewcm. Am very confused by this, because it's only CD6, so I'm about 5 days ahead of schedule! Can't help calculating that if I really am 5 days ahead this month, af/bfp could be due on christmas day.. eek! Well, that's relying on nothing else bizarre happening in this weird body of mine. Oh, except pregnancy, of course: body, you're allowed to do that!

Thanks for the kind thoughts Ready, they helped. Sorry to hear you're so down now - I hope af stays away and your af feelings are actually early pg signs. Have a big hug back from me I hope you feel better soon. (your dp sounds lovely just stroking your hair while you're upset)

MerryKitkatmas · 07/12/2006 15:14

Hi impatience ? is it def EWCM? Not sure when you last inseminated, but I sometimes find that the day after BD?ing it?s not EWCM, but left over ?stuff? working it?s way out from the previous night?s activities (lovely!). They look and feel bloody similar!!

Kittiwakesnowflakes · 07/12/2006 15:16

Rudolphsready - your DH sounds very lovely indeed but it's so hard to think rationally when the red menace appears, however good the advice. IT WILL HAPPEN THOUGH and you can keep the hugs either way! in fact happy to provide extra as needed.

Hey Kitkat hope your 2ww whizzes past at least you have all the festive stuff going on to keep you occupied a bit. I am planning on testing on Sat if nothing happens in the meantime and I can keep my self-control.

sparklytreeangel · 07/12/2006 15:30

Hello fellow xmas bunnies. I am CD14 today and think I OV on Sunday. Nice quiet weekend so fingers crossed!

Hello d2b hows things with you?

KitKat hang in there. Glad you are feeling better this week. I was low earlier on in the week but I have lots to be happy about so am trying not to get my hopes up all the time.
I think we may OV on the same day

plan on trying out the new underwear!

MerryKitkatmas · 07/12/2006 15:45

Hello sparkly! How are you? You must be getting HIGHs on the CBFM now?

I ov'd yesterday - which is a day early for me (thought it might have something to do with the EPO which I started taking this month). The CBFM seems scarily accurate - I get a PEAK reading in the morning and then by that eve I get my ov pains...here's hoping! (there should be a 'fingers crossed' icon!)

I too have resorted to new undies!

RudolphsREADY · 07/12/2006 16:16

KitKat - Are you planning on testing before AF is due?? If so click here

Sparkyltreeangel - What colour are your undies?? I know, a tad personal, but I got some gorgeous black and red bra and pants (doesn't sound sexy when you say bra and pants does it ?) from M&S (ceriso collection) and they certainly haven't been a waste of money

Kittiwake - I hope you are right that I will be a mum one day (can't that day be sooooon!) Your hugs have been stored til tomorrow morning Is it possible to get AF cramps and still be pg?? I shouldn't bother kidding myself, so don't answer

Decorative - I seem to remember you gave me a link to a site where I could print off some charts, or have I made that up?? I can't remember the link - if you still have it??

Impatience - I am glad that you decided to stay, although I fear that I am going to be on my own in the january thread by the end of the weekend I am so pleased that my words gave a little comfort, you know I really do think about you and your plight, it might sound odd as we don't really know each other, but I think your strength is truly inspiring!! Yes, my DH is wonderful, I am truly lucky!! His theory of why it hasn't happened straight away is because his "boys" are being courteous and not just bulldozing their way through... and the through the sobs I said "well, tell them to stop being so bloody polite!!"

Rudolph?sReady ? no, no, no, you can?t get AF I?m sorry if she is on her way but hope my booing and hissing scares her off I really know how you feel crying to DH because she?s on her way. That was me on Friday night and Saturday night. PMSL at the CBfairy ? she could have a really scary voice they Golum! Mulledhoneyapple is a great name!?

Greedy ? are you hiding from us? Hope not. Hope you are doing well, actually, hope you are doing great!

Tinselledtryer ? even louder boos and hisses (no, I haven?t been to the Panto yet!) Really sorry AF arrived . There really does not seem to be a recipe does there? The last 2 cycles, we have BD quite a few times at just the right time and no joy for us either.

Hello Kittiwakesnowflakes - sounds good, hang in there! fingers crossed! You?re nicer than Ready by the way, she took the hugs she gave me on Sat back because AF decided not to show up until Sun night (just kidding Ready )

Decorative ? thanks, yup, STILL here! Hope it?s not AF. Spotting at 6dpo could be good. Fingers crossed. Sounding VERY organized! My tree?s up but I haven?t finished the rest of the house yet.

MerryKitKatmas ? I think I am guilty of a degree of wastage on the pre-seed front too

New undies all round is what I say! must tell you though, it is nearly time for my Miss Santa outfit to make her annual appearance to serve DH his Christmas morning breakfast ? what a pity that I?ll be in the 2ww!!

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 16:46

honeyapple! i know EXACTLY what you mean, i wonder why i want another one some days! but i know i do! i really really do! OMG!!!!! typing that made me cry! AND im at work! next patient isnt for half an hour though so i am sure i can pull myself together by then. hopefully!
i tested this morning .....BFN...of course....i dont know why i even thought it would be a bfp, why would it, i am sure i am not fertile anymore. i know that sounds stupid and melodramatic but i really do believe it sometimes (and now is one of those times)
i am feeling so sorry for myself i havent even asked how anyone is......af/bfps looming for a few of you hey? good luck

festivefettle....sorry...think i have let you down with my bfn! i gat so pissed off that if this is cd1 i have another 39 days to wait again before knowing next time......i HATE having a crap body and a long cycle.

MrsMcClaus · 07/12/2006 16:47
ImpatientElf · 07/12/2006 16:50

Poor Greedy

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 16:50

sorry i am so crap and self obsessed

ready...hope it isnt af, i had a good feeling about you getting a bfp for some reason.

tt - sorry about af.....looks like we might be cycle buddies, although when you are testing again next time i will only just be ovulating! sorry....there i go again ......me me me!

kittiwake.......good luck

who have i forgotten now...sorry im crap

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 16:52

sparklytreeangel · 07/12/2006 16:53

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 17:03

oh my god i think i am letting the side down on the underwear front!.....i have got my manky period pants on today! not a pretty sight!

BoJingles · 07/12/2006 18:01

Tinselledtryer - Sorry to hear about AF what a shame Have you been trying long? I know what you mean about knowing that you BD'ed on the right days .....oh its soo frustrating Do you mind me asking what the tests were that you both had - we are having the first lots of tests in Jan
Impatience - Good luck. You never know - this could be you're lucky month by going for it on a different day
Angel - cycle buddy, have fun this weekend, hope the undies are appreciated
Greedy - I thought I was the only one in the world who wore period pants for 4 days of the month....oh to back in nice undies after
MrsMcClause - hmmm no I didn't quite mean eau naturale quite the way you took it - hope you knew what I meant re ST's

honeyapple · 07/12/2006 18:03

Hi greedy...

After a manic morning... and questioning of what another little person would do to my sanity...
I still cant get out of my head how much I WANT ANOTHER BABY!!!

I think the thought of never being pregnant again, never feeling someone moving about and kicking you from inside, never breastfeeding again, and just generally never having a weeny eeny cute screaming pooey baby of my own... makes me sad.

BUT, I am not worrying about when it happens anymore. I was really desperate to have a summer baby as both mine are winter ones, so as that is not going to happen now, I've decided it doesnt matter when I have another. A dark cloud has lifted. Should be BDing a lot at the moment... but fell asleep last night B4 DP got into bed...

Not sure about mulledhoneyapple...

Also, for all you lovely ladies yet to have babies, I am really jealous of you, because when you do get PG you are embarking on a fantastic adventure... the first time is AMAZING/MENTAL/LIFE-SHATTERING!!!!
(Sorry if getting a bit sentimental)

RudolphsREADY · 07/12/2006 18:37

Sparklytreeangel, I like grey personally, so it's not lame in my book! The style is what makes it sexy anyway Go girl with your g-string!!

BoJingles & Greedy - I like to wear nice underwear during AF out of principal! But I do have big minger pants for sleeping in during AF

Honeyapple - Your post made me cry just now - not that I need much help setting me off at the moment(another sure sign that AF is on her effing way!) and not just cos you didn't like my name suggestion either (how about HoneyappleInYourStocking ) but because I soooo desperately want to feel that first flutter, that first kick, to watch my bump get bigger, to try breastfeeding (even though I have heard it is hell!) to hold my precious baby for the first time, watch him(?) sleep, smell her(?) head, buy those ridiculously expensive nike trainers in baby size, choose my bugaboo colour, watch my DH and baby together..... sob.

you sound very similar to me honeyapple. it is lovely to be pg for the first time isnt it, and it is something you never get back. its SOOOOOOOOO exciting and everyone makes you feel so special and you lot will all be experiencing it soon dont worry. also, i wanted a spring baby, but that turned into wanting a summer baby to now i dont really care when....i just want one. i feel the same as you, i know how hard it would make my life when my two are just getting so much easier to look after, but i never thought of my last pregnancy as my last one or my dd as my last baby....so i want more.......hundreds of them!!!!!they are so cute!

BUT........I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY BODY!!!!

my spotting seems to have stopped temporarily and so i am just waiting until morning again to see what my temp is doing. surely if i was pg i wouldn't have got a bfn this morning on 13 or 15 dpo?

minxi - sorry about af, forgot to say it to you earlier.

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 18:43

oh ready! you will get to do all those things very soon and you will enjoy them even more than most because you want it so bad and appreciate ttc isnt a peice of piss!

by the way.....you wear sexy undies during af AND you dont use tampons! wow! dont you ruin loads of knickers? i would!

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 18:44

mind you.....when af visits me, she brings all her freinds with her and they REALLY paint the town red!

greedyformincepies · 07/12/2006 18:45

whoops i can spell really!

BoJingles · 07/12/2006 18:48

Ditto Greedy

BoJingles · 07/12/2006 18:49

.... to the Af and undies coversation not spelling (although spelling can be a shocker at times)
