MrsMc - {{{hugs}}}} sorry to hear that you are not feeling so good at the moment. Friday can't come soon enough, you need to see that little bean doing well. Is there any way that you could take a day or so off work to cope? Take care of you.

OK I am taking bets on my next coverline, first month of testing was 36.56, last one was 36.66, so what will the next one be? I think 36.76 follows the pattern, and then if I carry on for another couple of months my coverline will be so high that I will be pg!

Greedy - it is great to have your enthusiasm here.

Rahrah - Morning, I don't know whether to wish that af would arrive for you today or to wish that it would not arrive for another 9months. It is horrible being in the inbetween bit.

Lottie - I really hope your body is tricking you!

Morning to everyone else...

Thanks Lottie, it helps so much to voice how I feel to you all, thank you for listening. I hope you are wrong about AF hon, I really do.

Hello Honeyapple ? it?s not that much I guess, it?s not bring red either, it?s pinky/orangey, I do have a lot of CM at the mo (which my book says is normal) I know my body should be making the placenta at the moment so I guess it is understandable that spotting might happen. Wish it wasn?t though! I know exactly what you mean about feeling funny when you do voice it!

Thanks Rahrah ? unfortunatley, I can?t take any time off. Can?t even throw a sickie as I?ve had 4 days off already since I?ve been here and my contract states that if I am off for more than a week I go straight to stat sick pay, can you believe that?

Greedy ? just knowing you are here to talk to helps me no end, I?ve not been through anything like you and you must think I?m such a winge but I just want my baby to be ok so much it hurts. I am trying to kep positive, and here?s the rub, because I am a positive person generally, I do keep giving myself explanations about the spotting and telling myself it will be ok but then you get dark moments where you think maybe it?s not and how the helll will I cope with that? I guess the answer is that it?s not worth worrying about because if it happens, you cope. Tell me about your name ideas. I?ve had mine for ages

Thanks mum03, I wish it stayed away for another 9 months, that would be great! However there is no way Im pregnant,,,my temps are far to low for the last three days ....Anyway its good not being pregnant this month, it would of been too close to Bertie's Birthday.. On FF it said 30.10.07...and Bertie's is 8.11.06...so if I had gone over my EDD it would of been very close. I found a positive today which is a good step forward

Morning all. I am officially peeved off. Temp still not risen significantly to show OV, no positive from 10 (count them!) 10 OPKs. And to top it off I keep trying to convince myself that I ovulated but 2 sleepless nights have affected my temps and therefore not shown ov - am I the most annoying positivity seeker there has ever been

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:13

Oh Rah, I am sorry to hear that, but you found a positive to focus on (I'm only bloody at it again!) which is always helpful!! Hope you are ok? (hug)

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:15

MrsMc, Sorry to hear that you are spotting again, but like you say, it is very common. It's just until Mumsnet you don't really hear about that side of things, and just assume it's a bad sign. Hang in there flower Roll on friday!!

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:17

Mum03, sorry again for misunderstanding you, I really appreciate that you did all that for me. So BFNs during pregnancy are a family thing huh?? All the more reason to wait as long as you can to test

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:19

Lottie, I always giggle at how you write "bewbies" ... Sorry to hear about your classic symptoms, I hope that your body is tricking you though The positive to come from this (is there no way of stopping me I wonder??) is that you are perfectly in tune with your body, and that is always a good thing.

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:22

Honeyapple, Relaxing seems to be crucial in conceiving, and I am really not sure how on earth I will manage that!! So perhaps I am destined to never be a mum because I carry too much worry around with me! I have bought some grapefruit juice in readiness for next cycle I didn't think there was really a difference when I drank it before, but this month I only had 2 days of EW and no temp shift to show ov, so I want EW in adundance next month

Ready · 20/02/2007 10:24

Ok, so the one time I set out my posts individually so as not to cross with anyone, like I always seem to do, I don't cross.

Hope everyone is doing well. I am not. I am off to look at the charts and mope a little (well, a lot )

seaside72 · 20/02/2007 11:45

Rahrah - about AF arriving but you get a big gold star for your positivity. I have moved you to the top spot on the list - hope thats OK/right?

Lottie - sorry usual AF signs are appearing I usually start feeling mine a week before - which means my 2ww is generally only a 1ww!!

Mum03 - sorry you had to appease us all and do a test ! but wow you are hot -still!! - verrrrry intersting

MrsMcJnr - I am so sorry you are feeling low and that the spotting won't bugger off and leave you alone.{{{{{hugs}}}}} Wishing Friday comes in double-quick time

Ready - Ok - so even if you did not OV this month - is it any consolation to know that you have taken MrMcJnrs crown of "Shag Queen" for this month?! I salute you - Gold star for effort

honeyapple - glad to see you are still with us - we need the support! Actually I was just thinking I really have no idea what you do when you do get a BFP - do you have go to the docs to confirm it? Have you told your GP? I'm like lottie - don't think I will be able to keep it a secret at all

greedy - tut tut - Black star for leading TTCers astray into unecessary testing!!!! - couldn't resist - sorry!!

greedyforbabies · 20/02/2007 12:11

ok seaside - i am sorry, i will try not to get excited about you yet then.

rahrah - you did say all along that you wanted to avoid another november baby, so well done! i think if you had of got pg this cycle it would have all been a bit too traumatic and emotional for you. on this occassion i think it is definately for the best that af has arrived for you.

ready - 10 opks is NOTHING!!!! i used 20 one month and then ran out and still hadn't ov'd!!! beat that!!!! you will ov! dont worry! you might be stressing your eggs out too much. i reckon mine used to suffer from performance anxiety! the pressure we put on our poor eggs hey!!!

Ready - you didn't notice that I have stolen your high temps, Ok I confess, I took them while you were being too positive, now, I will give them back to you if you promise to relax. Take a back massage from me if you like.... think of yourself lying on the beach with a gentle warm breeze and a soft cool (non-alcoholic!) drink in hand, book in the other, and a hucky man coming to offer you whatever you desire,,,, no I said relax!!!! OK if you can keep relaxed for 24 hours I will give you some high temps and you can give me back my low ones - agreed?

Rahrah - time for the booze,chocolates and snuggles infront of a good movie recommended for you! Still I was pleased to hear of your positive thought. Now we can move on together to get pg this month.

Seaside, lottie, hope the second half of the 2ww goes quickly and that you present us with some good news soon.

Hi guys,

sorry to post and run but have just been on the phone trying to cancel my duplicated nuchal scan dates. I wanted to cancel the 12th march date and retain the 19th march date as my dh is away on the 12th and would like to come.

But the receptionist at Kings college was saying that it was cutting it very fine as I would be 13 weeks 6 days on the 19th March which is cutting it very fine as apparently that is last day they will do the nuchal scan. She allowed me that date but said if I cancelled it for any reason then it would be on my own head.

I don't understand why 13 weeks 6 days is the cutoff, can they not measure the folds after that then?? Also was wondering about those ppl who have been given scan dates for later than this? confused...

xx

will read through the thread later and post properly

laksa · 20/02/2007 12:55

oops, so sorry guys am on wrong thread ...so sorry for blundering in on your conversation...

honeyapple · 20/02/2007 12:57

Mum03- hucky man eh?

seaside72 · 20/02/2007 13:03

lottie - Yes - I wasn't going to mention us looking all vulnerable at the bottom of the list !! [gulp] well no I haven't got any signs yet - no sore "bewbies" which usually come a week before? Have had quite a bit white/milky/watery cm (sorry for tmi!) ? But I think these could be down to all the pills I am popping from the nat health doc as I think the formula I am on is to help hormones/pms etc. I am hoping they may also extend my cycle a bit - last month it was 25 days - just - (I started a bit of dark brown spotting on the eve of CD23)
Well done on going to yoga - I am totally addicted now - it def gives me something to focus on and be positive about. And good luck with the cranio-sacral appt - I have actually made one with my primo london lady in 2 weeks as we will be up in town then - v. excited!! I am def at the try anything and everything phase - acupuncture next I think!

Oh greedy - don't get your hopes up on my behalf!! I am a very unoptomistic and jaded about ever getting a BFP! and am already planning ttc cycle 12!

Ready - I really feel for you - I def think I was the most stressed about ttc around cycles 6/7 - so much so I got 2 bladder infections in a row and now looking back I am sure I did not ov either. I think after that I just thought - sod it - I have to say I kind of stopped even imagining a BFP and kind of took a step back and wallowed a bit. It is only natural that by very definition we are trying and that makes failing so much more difficult to take I think some pampering may be in order.
Also - I went through 10 cheap opks and 10 CB monitor pee sticks this month!! - the CB monitor gave me a peak - but the other OPKs were far from conclusive - a couple of faint ones and one slightly darker but not as dark as control line - they suck!!

OMG - bad karma - my dogs have just killed a rabbit in the garden ( sorry this is prob really shocking for most of you - but we live in a rural area with a golf course next to us and it is like watership down around here - good job no one can hear me scream as I have just had a screaming fit in the garden ) will have to make DH go and bury it in the field My dogs have killed a prob baby bunny - I am never going to get a BFP!

honeyapple · 20/02/2007 13:08

Seaside- the temps and cm sound very good.

rattling · 20/02/2007 13:14

Do you think that my cat killing a litter of baby guinea pigs 20 years ago is still giving me bad karma? Not wild guinea pigs - pets of a 8 year old girl, spread out over a well tended, suburban garden. Maybe I need to make some kind of offering to the rodent gods.

I think the signs (or lack of) look good, fingers crossed for the next few days.

Thanks for the reassurance girls - PMSL rattling!!- maybe if we have a candle-lit vigil in remembrance!

I know it is natural and it is not the first time they have done it at all - but I saw them kill this one right in front of me as I hung out the washing and it is impossibly cute

Lottie - its funny you mention foxes as we never see any down here (one in two years - but he was the size of a small shetland pony!!) and in fact I only ever see them when we are in london now - and there they are so bold! - when we were up 2 weeks ago one walked about 2 metres in front of me as I opened our garden gate and just stopped and had a good look at me before casually ambling off!!

rattling - still laughing - sorry!
