Hi

Right that's it. I've been brave enough to start a new thread to look forward to a summer baby next year. I really don't think I am going to be successful for the spring. But at least if we fall now, hopefully we can have summer 2008 off to enjoy the sunshine.
Does anyone care to join me?

Libralady xx

Thanks for all the good wishes - just done a test, and it's negative . Funny AF though - something of nothing if you know what I mean. Oh well, here's to lots more BD this month

Just come on to say hi to Tigerschick-have been too busy to email! feeling a bit tired, etc, and Uni starts again in a week. Hope you ok sweets!

Roskva · 13/09/2007 10:54

Anyone out there?

debinaustria · 13/09/2007 22:20

I'm still here, cd8, , not sure of when OV will be so just going to tire out dh and hope for the best this month!!

A Summer baby would be fantastic, I certainly don't fancy going into labour in the middle of winter here!!

Hope everyone else is OK

fingers crossed for you. Well, I'm counting on more bedtime fun with dh - the idea is to keep it fun, because I find if is planned around fertile days, then life gets really depressing (and dh starts muttering about having sympathy with stud stallions )

moodymoo · 18/09/2007 15:56

Hi Ladies, seems like ages since I was last on here!! Have been away for last 2 weeks so thought it was time I checked back in. disappointing not to see any BFP's though. Af arrived today so a bit sad but am not going to get stressed about it. Used my monitor this month and was suprised to find that I don't ov until around cd18, no wander I haven't got pg - have ususally given dh a break by then! Double checked it with an opk as well and it was right.
Am freaking out a bit though at the moment as just back from docs where I thought I would check if my blood test results on my chromosomes had come back, there was a letter from consultant which receptionist started to read to me then v quickly stopped and got someone else to look at it who decided to book me in to see my gp later on today. My brain is now doing overtime as if problem witn chromosomes it might effect my chances of getting pg - have tried not to worry about it since test was done in July but perhaps I was wrong not to. The letter was sent at the end of the July so if there is any problems I will be cheesed of that nobody picked it up - test results always seem to just get filed at my docs. Hadn't thought to chase up before now as they said to allow 10 weeks and in the past have taken loads longer.Feel sick now just thinking about what it could say. Wish I could have got an earlier appointment.
Sorry for going on - just needed to get it off my chest - my usual suspects are all at work at the moment.

moodymoo · 18/09/2007 18:04

Right forget that little rant - been to docs and the results aren't back- receptionist got confused! Doc told me to just relax and keep having sex 2-3 times a week.

Are we still using this thread or has everyone gone back to the monthly threads?

tigerschick · 18/09/2007 18:11

Hi moodymoo - I'm still checking in here every so often - the monthly threads move too quickly for me!
Glad to hear you sorted everything at your gp's - so infuriating.
I'm on day 6 of a 7-day set of progesterone so should be on cd1 on Sunday or Monday.
Hope you are well

moodymoo · 18/09/2007 21:11

Hi Tigerschick - am doing fine thanks. Just getting bored and frustrated with the whole ttc malarky. Just wish it would happen so that I can get on with being pg and having a family - just feel like I am in limbo at the moment, everything seems to revolve around having a baby, and I am really trying to make it not be the be be all and end all of everyday life. going to lay of taking my temperature this month and just use the monitor.
How is it going with you? saw a few poeple got BFP's on the September thread but i'm not sure I recognised them all - it's amazing how much things change when you have a short break!

Aniemac - you might as well go for the apppintment and get the ball rolling - the lkonger you put it off the longer it will be before you get to know if any problem. I know that 8 months seems a long time but they do say it can take upto a year to conceive so may be that they tell you to keep going for a few more months anyway. It took me 10 months when I got pg - had given all hope and then it happened. Am trying to make myself 'forget' about ttc again so that it will hurry up and happen but I just can't do it! Good luck and don't 4get to let us know how you get on x

tigerschick · 20/09/2007 14:38

Hi all

Anniemac - did you go for the consultant's appointment? If so, how did it go?

Moodymoo - I know what you mean about forgetting about it, with dd we had been trying for so long that it came as a total shock when I found out. Hope you are OK.

moodymoo · 20/09/2007 18:44

Hiya Tigerschick
Just thought would check in whilst i'm waiting for dh to get home with tea - treating me to fish and chips - yum yum .
Had a strange day as colleague brought his new baby girl in, it's the first time I have been near one since I lost my baby. Was brave enough to have a cuddle. she was so cute! am very proud of myself for doing it and I didn't cry . My other collegaue has just found outat her 20wk scan that her baby has got a cleft lip - she is so upset as she had the same thing. Just want to give her a big hug.
Am getting frustrated with my body as I thought I was cd1 on Tuesday but it is just teasing me - just want af to hurry up and get here properly so that I can get on with trying again . Can't even kid myself it's implantation bleeding as I have all the usual pre-af symptoms
Aniemac have you been for your appointment yet? if so how did it go????

Thanks anniemac. Didn't need to test in the end as got my Af this morning - and don't I know it! Has been a long long day. My back aches and my tummy is sore and I just want to go to bed. Went to supermarket after work and bought 3 large bars of chocolate, so hope they cheer me up.Had a horrible person shouting at me on the phone today and I really wanted to shout back but my boss was sat listening so had to be nice.
Got some good news today though - my final blood test on my chromosomes came back today and they are fine so first test was faulty and my fertility should be fine - big relief.
Sorry to see you changed your appointment - the sooner you have it the better. I know it is hard but youshould try and avoid doing pg tests all the time - it reaally doesn't help ou and just puts you under more stress. I used to be like that but just got so upset each time that I had to stop. It's hard but I make myself stick to it.
Hope you are ok at the moment and not too down x

tigerschick · 22/09/2007 09:31

Sorry that you had such a rubbish day yesterday Moodymoo. Hope your weekend improves and the wait isn't too long before you can start trying again

Hiya, Am having a better weekend despite arguing with dss when he wouldn't get off computer. Not sure I am going to cope with these teenage years {hmm].
Borrowed my friends little girl for the weekend - she is so cute and has just turned into a little chatterbox.
Anniemac - sorry - if doing tests helps you then go for it - it is a hard enough time for us all so we have to do what we can to make it easier.
Tigerschick - would love to curl up with a glass of wine or ten but have given it up whilst ttc as it can half your folic acid and since I am having to take an increased dose already I can't afford to loose any . Have tried to replace it with grown up pop but it just isn't the same.Found some decent n/a lagers though which taste just the same but without the hangover .At least dh has given it up as well (trying to show is support for me)
How are things going with you? do you think you will be cd1 2moro?
Off for an earlyish night as I am sure my borrowed child will have me up early xx

Roskva · 23/09/2007 00:37

My AF has lasted 13 days . And I've pulled a ligament in my back, which is excruciating. So I have a feeling this month may not be the month.
