Temping Buddies 6

[duchesse]

New thread...

Hi all

Thought I would drop in and say hi. Hope all is well and everyone is OK.

Thanks for your messages - just seen them - everyone is so sweet on this site.

It was my 32nd birthday last Thursday, so had a party at my house (BBQ) and everyone got a bit trashed.... I ended up being sick all Sunday and still feel jonny rotten now!

I am due on in the next couple of days and have all the regular symptoms, so still no joy for me. However we are at the fertility consultants on the 3rd July, so will update you with any plans I am going to push for IUI, as I feel we need a little helping hand......but I doubt the consultant will be as forthcoming.

We are off to Bristol this weekend.... Anyone live there??? Any good restaurants?

WOW it has been ages since I have caught up with you guys!

Nappyvalley... a quick question - I have started taking B6 - read in a newspaper that it really aids conception. How do you know what dosage to take... mine is really low at the moment. Cheers

BRING ON THE BFP's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much depression in the group at the mo. Possibly a post BFP lull, but I have faith.

duchesse really sorry it was not your time. big hugs to you and many cups of consoling tea, or something stronger prehaps. I really admire the strenght of the inner goddess in you. That will be a real asset as a mother I am sure.

jess sorry you are feeling low.

minxi thanks for de-BFPing us. I was becoming a jinx so didn't dare!! Hopefully it was an implantation bleed. Sorry it does not fell right 4 you.

rah HELLO THERE - or as you are off to Bristol 'ello there my luver. I used to live in Bath, but not been that way for quite a while. have fun. Sorry it seems like not your month either.
The B6 comes in 100mg from Holland and Barrett. I googled and MNed about extending luteal phase. It is 5000% of RDA. From what I have read upto 200mg is fine, but there are side effects after 500mg. Obviously need to be careful. Form what I ahve read you should take a high dose for a couple of months and then half it anf then come off completely and see if results stick (in regard to LP). It is sort of like bump starting your cycle into behaving. Several people suggest not tking past OV.

I am DPO9 today, but sadly have stomach ache this afternoon, so not feeling particularlly optomistic. However my OV came forward so much this month we missed the boat. Let me know how you get on.

mum03 how are you doing at the moment?

Ladies just popping in to say hello and to remind you that you just don't know what's round the corner for you. I hope that those BFPs hit you soon.

All ok with me - very sick but that's ok (though not good for concentrating at work) had my booking in yesterday I felt that it was an important milestone for me

I don't think I will be able to catch up on what I have missed... anyone want to give me a brief summary?

How are you all?????

No CM at all today, which I think is a bad sign. I remember having loads when I was pregnant, but I can't remember when it started. Oh well, the 2WW continues...

Sorry af came duchesse .

It's nice to see you back ready. I don't think there's that much news to catch up on. As you can see Minxi, Nappy and I are all nearing the end of the 2WW, but there hasn't been very much symptom spotting going on. Mum03 and rahrah are having some time out, so there aren't too many of us temping at the moment. There have been no more bfps recently, I think the pregnancy panda is worn out and is having a rest.

Ready hello hun we have missed you. How goes life?

MrsMcJ glad things are going OK. Booking in is a real milestone. Still got everything crossed for you.

As for me, I forgot to temp this morning as DH was up for some early morning action (sorry TMI)!!
Have been feeling rotten since yesterday lunchtime. I have stomache ache and hormones are off the scale. I keep crying. I haven't had PMT like this for eons. Bit disappointed as feel it probably mean AF will come today, which is no real improvement. Either that or DS has given me a new stomach bug (he does like to share).

Did I say he is out of plaster now, but if you want to see what a toddler with a broken arm looks like check out this

Final point is last of my mega baby wave (10 friends having babes due Apr-Jun) arrived safely yesterday.

Warning moan alert
ANOTHER of our NCT group just told me she is preggy (3 have just had their 2nd) . I am really pleased 4 her but at the same time I really want to cry (probably these off the wall hormones). here I am expecting AF any minute and now have to congratulate them (they are coming over 4 dinner). I AM genuinly chuffed for them but at the same time I am hovering on despair that it happens for everyone else without any effort (all 4 have fallen preggy in 1-2 months of trying).

I know I am so lucky to have my darling boy and that most of you are trying for no1 and it was not so long ago that I was where you were and remember the feeling of insecurity and injustice - so sorry if you feel I am being insensitive.

I was the first 1 who was ready to fall pregnant again - and 1 of the first to start trying again. I guess the moral of the story is when people say "oh it is much easier second time round as your body knows what to do" should be locked in a room with the people who say "morning sickness only lasts 12 weeks" as they are usually the people who either a) get pregnant by holding hands or b) breezed thru pregnancy on a glowing cloud or c) BOTH!!!!!!!

RANT OVER

Thanks for letting me dump feel much better. Still no AF though but still feel AFy.

Hello Ladies,

I'm TTC atm, my DD is 9 months and DP and I want another.

Stopped taking the pill, but have no idea about my cycle. Some one on another board recommended this thread, any one show me the ropes as it were please.
I have my thermometer at hand...

Ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back!! hope all well with you after your break!

Hope everyone else is doing as well as can be - I do miss you all.

Come on June, be as lucky BFP-wise for this thread as May!!

[Welcome EmilyandLola and hello again! - I'm sure these girls will look after you!! They were very supportive for me -finally got my successful BFP after 2 years and 2 mc in Jan, with lots of help and support from this thread!]

Back to cd1 today - well started last night so....back to it !!!

Hope everyone is ok - must go as busy day

p.s. welcome back Ready....xx

Hi all,

Emilyandlola - hi and welcome, I am a somewhat irregular poster here. I find that fertility friend web site is really helpful in giving loads of advice re:temping. Would recommend a visit to you for advice. Feel free to ask questions here too, we are all learning from each other.

Sorry to see duchesse and minxi back to the start again.

Hi to Ready and Rah - good to see you both back again.

Rah - are you keeping us in suspense or is it :{ for you too?

I am not sure if I am post-ov or not. Nothing ties together fertilty friend, gives the interpretation taht ewcm suggest ov between day 13 amd 15. Temps yesterday put me at 3dpo but today that has been removed and I am back to "waiting for ov"! I am sure I am post-ov due to sore (0)(0),but can't say for sure when. Hey I bought 100pg tests couple of weeks back so will just go mad testing every day from next week until af arrives. Just gives me something to do other than painting and decorating.

Ready - thought you'd like to know that our hall-way is now white!!!!

Lots of cramps too. BUT we are definately DPO10 so it is +1 on the vitmin experiment. Felt rotten this morning though.

Minxi sorry hun, but it looks like Jess and I will be right behind you so we will all be cycle buddies ;this time round. Does that make it luckier?

Ready how are you doing petal?

No AF yet, still waiting.

Hi everybody,

I don't know if any of you will remember me but I have been having a couple of months off TTC (I know - it can't be done) and I am due AF sometime next week (not sure when). If no BFP this month I will be back joining you all on the temping.

I notice lots of BFP's have happened recently - so pleased for you all.

Sorry to hear your back to CD1 Nappy , I hope your feeling okay

jess - fingers crossed for your AF to stay away

mum03 - Hope you are well

Thanks Gracie. Actually not too bad at the mo as at least LP has increased slightly.

Hopefully you won't need to join us next week, but if you do we look forward to a new/returning temp buddy. We had a totally bumper month of BFPs last month, but hopefully we have not used all our Pregnancy Panda magic.

jess fingers crossed for you hun.

14dpo today. No AF yet, but stong af pains all day. I've got ewcm again, so I don't think it will be long .

15dpo and still no AF and AF cramps have gone for now. I tested last night with a clearblue early and got BFN. I'm assuming that if I was pregnant, then it would have been positive by now. Maybe FF got my OV date wrong, or maybe I didn't OV after all. Just when I thought my cycle was returning to normal, it all goes wrong again.

Hope you have a better day today nappy.

Hello gracie.

Hello to everyone else.

Although Clearblue early is more sensitive than others it still might not give a positive test yet. As you say you never know the OV might be worng, or your body might not have enough hormone levels yet. Based on what you have said I would guess your AF may well start today (hope not) OR you should wait until thursday before tesitng again. v tough 4 you.

I really sympathise even though I KNEW i was not pregnant I was still starting to get those maybe I am thoughts on saturday. Ooh that TTC voice in our heads is a wicked thing!!!

Thinking of you Jess.

to all you lurkers. I know you are out there

Back to temping tomorrow keep forgetting - fingers crossed Jess - when I fell pg with ds2 it was 6 days after af due...that test showed up positive - don't give up hope yet!
