was it clear that I wasn't angry at MNers, but at their wait for a baby?? hope so.

Ready, I think you're OK: If you've offended anyone I think they'd be able to disagree with you. I understand how frustrated and agree all this ttc malarky can make you, and it just doesn't seem fair who gets the babies sometimes! (I think you and I had a mutual rant about this last month..?!)

Twins: I've always had a sneeking feeling that I would have twins. Perhaps because I'm completely ridiculous in everything I do. I truly am all or nothing, so this would be entirely fitting... Not sure I'd choose it though!

sparklytreeangel · 08/12/2006 12:51

Twins wow! fingers crossed!

Pesme you need a turkey baster for your room above the kitchen. Or one of the thingys the self-inseminator ladies use.

CD15 today and still low on CBFM! So going off to do an OPK now

afternoon all, I've had such a busy week I haven't had chance to post on here.

Have read through the thread, fingers crossed for some more BFP's soon. Congrats to pecka!

I did another test yesterday and it was a definate BFP, and have felt V sick all week, all day and night so hoping this doesn't last too long as too much to do before xmas and haven't felt well enough this week.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and i'll ask santa to bring lots of special babydust your way

Tinselledtryer · 08/12/2006 13:17

Hello all. Well, I was feeling reasonably cheery despite AF until DH got home in a bad mood (he'd had an argument with someone at work and was obviously more upset by that than by lack of BFP). I had been hoping to be greeted by a huge hug or even flowers (didn't help that a neighbour got an enormous bunch this morning and I had a split second of thinking they were for me....) - instead I got a grumpy husband. The ensuing row ended with him shouting that he did care and was worried that I was too old to conceive! Double whammy, I now feel like a wizzened old prune! Got far more support from MNers....looks like I have a couple of cycle buddies to keep me company on CD'miserable'2

ticklemepinkwithtinsel · 08/12/2006 13:17

hi ladies ,

This thread flys dosnt it! hope everyone is well and sorry for peoples AF arriving , we have done well this week, not sure when i ov but def some point this week as lots of cm ( soory if tmi) but it has started to die down now. we bd on day 18/19/21/23/ and hopefully tomorrow then im going to considered my self 2 week waiting! Good Luck to anyone testing soon.

We are of to bluewater tonight to do some shopping, we must be mad!!!

greedyformincepies · 08/12/2006 13:21

perve - bus conception!!!??? dont tell me you got the bus to your providers house and then squirted on the way home at the back of the bus!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!!????
i am glad it was more relaxing for you last night and i feel really special that i have never met you and you followed my advice on something so important. twins would be soooooooo exciting, but i think if you release 2 eggs they are released at the same time aren't they? like someone said yesterday, are you sure it is ewcm and not just baby gravy leaking out? i always find it really hard to tell.

honeyapple · 08/12/2006 13:23

hello,
Had really good BD last night- like I felt- "that really should do the job!"
Anyone else get that feeling? I dunno, just felt like something was happening...
got some positives on the OPK i've been using as a trial for this month...

Ready- DON'T listen to those that tell you breast feeding is terrible! it really isnt! I loved it- but TBH it did hurt a bit to begin with- just make sure you stick with it and dont give up. Not only is b/f brilliant for baby- it's brilliant for you... I lost all my PG weight and more just breast feeding... all those calories going straight into junior instead of your bum/thighs/hips... BRILLIANT! Best diet ever!

As for boozing- I reckon dont stress about it- But I do think that once you get a BFP you shouldnt drink. Not worth it. I've read that even small amounts can potentially effect IQ of
your baby.

greedy- I love nativities!
My DD is an angel this year. SO sweet.

greedyformincepies · 08/12/2006 13:24

oh tt - sorry crossed posts with you. bless you! husbands can be gits sometimes cant they? they say stuff without thinking don't they? how old are you by the way.....56? i have fallen for the flower thing before too, you get so excited and then feel really silly for even thinking for a second that they might have been for you! keep smiling!

Tinselledtryer · 08/12/2006 13:50

Greedy - 57 actually . No, I'm 37 and hadn't really considered myself as past it (DD conceived quickly at 35) but I suppose there are thousands of us out there who have left it a bit later that Nature/Biology/Whatever would advise. If I had known how fantastic having a child is, I would have got on with it quicker. Fingers crossed for you!

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 14:16

Silly Greedy! You wait for ages for a bus then loads come at once. I hope it's not going to be like that with embryos!

I'm pretty sure it's EWCM. I never have sperm in me when I don't have CM: Does sperm give those strings? What's the spink value of sperm?!!!

MrsMcClaus · 08/12/2006 15:26

Impatience - I know the answer to that one Babygravy has no spink value! It's one of the ways to tell the difference. Also, last night's Babygravy should all have gone by midday today so what you are seeing should be EWCM. Glad it went well last night

Has anyone seen Geek? I am worried about her, she's disappeared since AF arrived. Might CAT her.

Tinselledtryer - what a mean thing to say! I think you definately deserve flowers now. My DH has never bought me flowers. He claims that he bought them for a ex after a row once and she told him they made no difference so he has never bought them since. I've told him that his argument is ridiculous, like saying, I bought someone a Christmas present once but they didn't like it so I don't buy presents anymore anyway, I buy myself gorgeous flowers now and I don't feel guilty or extravagent!!

Honeyapple - let's hope you've done the trick. My Mum always says that about BF too, that you can almost feel your body tightening up and losing weight, let's hope I have twins then I might really tone up .

Thanks Ready, hope you feel better after your rant

Hello to all I haven't mentioned by name

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 15:37

I thought you'd know, MrsMcSantaSpink! This is def ewcm then. Still a mystery why it's started up so early. I hope this isn't going to be an anov cycle - can feel myself stressing already! Just when I felt I knew my cycle...

No, I haven't seen Geek about - be a lovely caring lady and CAT her.

MrsMcClaus · 08/12/2006 15:51

MN says she doesn't exist?!

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 17:01

Put out a 'Geek, where are you?' thread. She might be quietly lurking, and if it were me I'd be really touched. You could offer to be emailable if she doesn't want to declare her woes to the whole world. Poor Geek, she was lovely to me when I was all over the place. I hope she's OK. Hopefully she's just off on hol somewhere!

greedyformincepies · 08/12/2006 17:10

i dont know how you CAT people, but geek did change her name to a festive one when she 'popped in' briefly the other day. does that make a difference

greedyformincepies · 08/12/2006 17:20

how much am i allowed to swear on here?

FCK! FCK! FCK! FCK! FCK! FCK! FCK! Fcking stupid bitch AF has arrived. i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed off. i had really convinced myself i was pg and i was trying to play it so cool. AF was just a few days late....how stupid am i to even think i might be? why would i be hey? i can't stop crying and i don't want to either.
i am not convinced that this site is healthy for me either and as much as i am desperate to know how you are all doing i think i am going to leave you all for a while. good luck everyone! i am off to find geek xxxxxxxx

sorry by the way festivefettle!

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 17:20

Ooh, that might do it. Who's got a spare hour to trapse back through the huge old thread?!

Just ate my first mince pie. Yummy!

greedyformincepies · 08/12/2006 17:21

geekinasantahat!

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 17:30

Wow, you are efficient Greedy. Was that job standing between you and a plate of mince pies? Do you want to do my work I just have to finish before I can go and eat (I am starving! as always). Mind you, I could always turn MN off and just get it done!

beansprout · 08/12/2006 17:34

Hey greedy, I haven't posted on here before but we are ttc too (6 months now) and AF arrived 4 days late for me this time as well. I really thought this could be it, but no. Just wanted to say that I know how you feel, and it's just sh*te. I'm really sorry.

ImpatientElf · 08/12/2006 17:40

Oh Beansprout, 4 days is such a tease. I've never been late, but if I ever am I shall need sedating. Hope you feel better soon.

wethreebodkinsoforientare · 08/12/2006 17:52

Greedy - just checking up on me old muckers and am really sorry to see your post. And such a long cycle too, no wonder you are in bits. Big shoulder to cry on from King of Bods. Don't leave, purleeeeease - you would be sorely missed by all xxxx

Tinselledtryer · 08/12/2006 18:00

I'm sorry too, Greedy. I so know that feeling - trying to be cool about being late but secretly planning ahead. There will be a month when all the hoping ends in the biggest FP. Hang on in there

thechristmassyone · 08/12/2006 18:37

Poor greedy - big hugs. it's pants when that hapens, like TT says, playing it cool but also getting all excited. I'm just the same, a dreamer and a planner all in one. At least you'll be able to get pissed at xmas
