Mrs Flowerpot has a seedling!! Many congratulations - send some pollen our way.

Cobweb - thinking of you today.

Sexyandhappy - I'm sure you must be very worried . I think the home FSH test is a good idea but in your position I would definitely go to the doctor as well. Fingers crossed for you.

runtus - what a horrible weekend! Hope the week is much, much better for you.

hester · 11/10/2004 09:52

Oh, and krocket - sympathies . I'm sitting here feeling my period pains grind into action, so BFN for me too this month, I think.

hester · 11/10/2004 09:53

Me yet again. Does MrsFlowerpot make four graduates off this thread, or have I miscounted? If so, only two to go - come on ladies, you can do it!!

MINNIE1 · 11/10/2004 09:56

Congratulations Mrs Flowerpot!!!

Sorry to Runtus and krocket that AF arrived.

mrsflowerpot · 11/10/2004 10:12

thank you ladies! and thank you for all your support. Hope to see some of you on the due June thread (when I pluck up the courage to join it myself that is!).

runtus · 11/10/2004 10:14

Thats cheered me up MrsFlowerpot - massive congratulations!!

Krocket, we are in about the same situation then, 5 months all of a sudden seems like a long time doesn't it?

Sallie · 11/10/2004 10:36

Congrats MrsFLowerpot.

krocket · 11/10/2004 10:41

it does runtus - I realised today that we are at the 6 months mark and I just never thought in a million years that this would happen to us IFYKWIM. Don't these things always happen to other people oh well, maybe this month....

Twiga · 11/10/2004 10:45

Cobweb, just a quick hello and wishing you all the best for today x

runtus · 11/10/2004 10:46

If one more person tells me the average time to concieve is 6 - 9 months I think I'll scream!

Bagpuss30 · 11/10/2004 10:52

Morning everyone, and Congratulations to mrsflowerpot .

Well, cd18 now and so at least another 11 days to go before I can even think about a test.

Sorry to all those with af and better luck for next month too.

Cobweb, I will be thinking about you today, please let us know how you get on.

Just a quick post as I am busy sorting out ds's birthday (he's 4 on Wednesday) but will pop back later on.

Hello all!!
I am new member and after a lot of thinking - i think too much - have decided to try to make a baby!!! I am 37 - GP last week bit snippy about my age ?!!! - am quite excited now about it - my DH stopped smoking last weekend - am afraid smokes the wacky backy too but now only to be once a week - so can understand your smoking issues Jeddah!

My friend is trying too she is 36 so fingers crossed even though is it scary and exciting too - enjoying reading all your messages and good luck to everyone !!
(Bought cheap ov and preg tests (notused to all your codes yet!! - at www.medisave.co.uk)
bye

runtus · 11/10/2004 11:49

Welcome CosyBear - it's never too late!

If it makes you feel any better, my mate went to the Dr's the day she got back from Honeymoon to get a repeat pill prescription and he went on at her about leaving it too long before trying for a baby! He was moaning about all these 'career' women putting off kids till they were ready and then not being able to conceive.......she was 28 at the time!

spykid · 11/10/2004 11:55

Morning all, COnGRATULATIONS MrsF!!!!

So glad that somebody has some positive news to start the week!
I have got what feels like the worst pmt today and all signs that i thought i might have had(tingly boobs,lots of blue veins) seem to have disappeared
Think I may have been too hopeful for 1st month of trying...Am cd24 today and think i might test Wednesday ,although in my heart i think i already know what the answer will be.
Dh will be pleased that we will have to bd in earnest again next month anyway!

Cosybear · 11/10/2004 12:01

Hello me again !
I have also been on antidepressants for 3 years and am cutting down (one every 2nd night just now) - hoping to stop altogether - GP said may be ok to take them through pregnancy but i don't want to if i can help it - anyone else know if it is ok to ttc now while still cutting down dose?
thanks

MINNIE1 · 11/10/2004 12:09

Cosybear, Welcome.. sending babydust X\x\x\x\x\xX

spykid, I am testing weds aswell, Don't think i am in with much of a hance this month but i have to test to be sure!!! I have the tingle boobs (feels like there feeling up) and bloated stomach..
I had the AF symtoms last time and i kept thinking i was coming on but never did, i was 6 weekd PG..

Made4it · 11/10/2004 12:11

I guess I'm forced to start here - again. Aunt Flow showed up this morning.

I'm just really bummed that I have to go through all of this again for another month. The month itself isn't too bad; it's all the waiting in between, the days & weeks. Once AF shows her ugly face I'm then eagerly waiting for her to remove my insides, bleed me dry & pisz off back to where she comes from. I really do hate her! All so that I can then start eagerly waiting for that gem of an OPK to give me two blue lines for - go forth & baby dance! But I'm not really looking forward to the baby dance you see - it's not fun like it used to be. I always said that I'm 30 without children because I'm too selfish enjoying my own 'free' time. Now I'm so self obsessed with the baby thang there is nothing fun or free about me to enjoy.

I live by peeing on & in numerous things with a BBT thermometer hanging out of my mouth & I know I have lost it completely because my cervical mucous is my best friend. I know everything about her, when she is most likely to show up & in what consistency, she basically feels like me, when she?s down she is dry, on top of the world - eggwhite, yeap eggwhite. Eggwhite is the holy grail of cervical mucous. My friend Eggwhite Cervical mucous fancies these tail like tadpole things ? sperm she calls them. Every month she?s telling me she going to catch them in her sticky mucous and have her wicked way with them ? Go Girlfriend!

I bet you that bloody Aunt Flow is Jealous & that?s why she is such a cow. She is paying be back for all those years when I had her under lock & key, controlling her. Now that she's free, she's causing havoc.

I haven't even started on Aunt Ovulation - when she damn well 'wants' to show up that is. She is the shy type, elusive, sometimes she doesn't visit for months & I pine when she does not come. I think she lives on a farm far far away because when she does get around to visiting she brings me the bestest egg you've ever seen in your life. I like Aunt Ovulation a lot. Aunt Flow though hates her - but everyone hates Aunt Flow so that?s OK.

So lets say I got those blue lines on my OPK & my CM is the bees knees eggwhite we've all been waiting for - I do the baby dance with darling husband, stand on my head for an hour, trying desperately not to sneeze, cough, burp, fart, laugh, squeeze - in fact DO NOT TALK TO ME AT ALL FOR THE NEXT HOUR(maybe two).

Now enter the wait - the long, long, ever sooo long two week wait. This is the worst, it is in fact torture and I have discovered there is no way of relieving this suffering - you just have to wait the wait. You can test every day with a HPT if you want - still you won't know until good old uncle HCG wants to reveal this information. There is no way to expedite this part of the journey, you can not control it in any way. You are
not in control. Your mind plays tricks on you, your body lies to you, you have every single imaginary symptom of early pregnancy that there is. Do your boobs hurt - yes I bet they do. Are you feeling a little nauseas, a bit queasy? - Ah ha, me too. You know what - I reckon that there?s a good change Uncle HCG is married to that wicked witch Aunt Flow. They both seem to like to play evil games and you just know that when the two weeks expires if those other two little lines on your HPT don't appear, you will hear Aunt Flow's cackle in the distance, right up until she slams her fist in your stomach again that is. I guess I?ll just swallow another folic acid pill and put up with it!

Sallie · 11/10/2004 12:13

Glad that there is some good news going around! I am on CD26 so who knows! Ovulated days 18 and 19 according to persona so have a bit of a wait now till I know whether we have been successful or not. Best of luck to you all and congrats to all who have struck lucky!

CHRIZ · 11/10/2004 12:13

hi there ev1

yes start testing this week

Made4it · 11/10/2004 12:17

Big Congrats Mrs Flowerpot.
Sorry to all that like me got AF today or just recently.
Anyone who tested this weekend and got the dreaded BFN - there is always next month, we are all still here too .

Cosybear. I have just come off ante-depressents. I was only on them for 8 mnths. I came off them becuase I wanted to ttc. I feel as though it was a combination of the stress I was under and the meds which was suppressing my ovulation. I have been using OPK's & Persona for 12 mnths + & only last mnth got my first postive OPK. I have been of the Meds for 2 mnths/2 cycles. Everyone reacts differently to meds and stress so not saying that you will be like me - but I do understand what you are going through. LOL & oodles & oodles of babydust.
