Bini, are you going to test this morning???

LipstickMum · 15/10/2004 07:56

Sorry, Bina

Hulababy · 15/10/2004 08:22

Good luck to all those nearing test time. Fingers crossed for more graduates

CD 10 for me today.

MINNIE1 · 15/10/2004 08:47

jeddah - next week you should test.. Do you have long cycles?

Someone said how there heart was beating faster.. It did when i was PG though i was going to have a heart attack. You would have to take deep breaths to calm the heart..

CD29 for me, on the countdown for AF (great)
don't feel PG!!!!

Babydust to allxxxxxx

How is everyone today??

Sallie · 15/10/2004 08:54

lipstickmum - many many congrats - take good care of yourself....

hester · 15/10/2004 09:19

Morning all. I feel very today - oh, how I love the first half of my cycle! Am going to stock up on grapefruit juice and cough syrup (yuck) today and go for it hammer and tongs next week (I'll leave you to visualise just how I'll be using these aids to babymaking).

Best of luck to everyone - I have a warm feeling that we'll get this thread completed very soon.

sweetheart · 15/10/2004 09:32

Huge Congrats Lipstickmum!!!!! Can you spread some of that babydust my way please

I'm on cd23 so I'm the waiting stage of my cycle.

Dh said to me last night "no sex tonight, OK??" I replied "It's OK we don't have to do it anymore this month"

Can everyone guess what reaction I got -

Yep, the old - "oh well, if thats all you want - is my sperm!!!!!"

I tried to explain that from here on in it was for pleasure ONLY and we didn't HAVE to do it every day/every other day.

He took this totally the wrong way and came back with "Oh right so it didn't give you any pleasure - that's nice isn't it"

Perhaps I should give him the one thing I always refuse to do to make it up to him!!!!!

MINNIE1 · 15/10/2004 09:45

sweetheart Tell him ya using you for your sperm big deal, your getting somthing out of it too !!! Only Joking.. I keep all that away from DP as i know he would'nt rebember when ov is even though i could have told him a week agao i would have to explain again!!! He is trying though.. A nice romantic nite in with wine, nice food and your undivided attention to your DH.. That works a treat for me.. I can get what i want the next day...

hester, Can you pass on some positive spirt...pls

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:19

Oh my goodness it has just taken me half an hour to catch up with this thread - but can i say what a great and lucky and lovely thread this is at the moment.
Minnie - i dont think you should test until 14 days post OV.
Spykid - our stats are exactly the same! My Ds's are 6 and nearly 4 and i am also 1st month of ttc no3 and aged 31! I too am worried that my fertility will have dropped since ttc the other too. Both of which i fell pg with first time!
Mommy D - for your stats list - DS's are 6 and nearly 4 and i am 31 (or twenty eleven as i like to call it!)
Bagpuss - exactly the same family situation here - my family are going to be in total shock if i get pg with no.3! NOONE and i mean NOONE in my whole family history has ever had more than 2 children!! (except for great great grandparents!) My sister is at the moment "thinking about" ttc no1 and i was very worried about stealing her thunder as she has wanted a baby for so long. She is the only person in RL that i have told we are ttc and she was totally ok about it. As she said-we cant put our plans on hold for others - it is OUR life!
Jeddah - i am on CD30 today and i also OVed around CD22. I have decided to test this time next week - which will make it 14 days po.
Hope everyone is having a good friday ... roll on the weekend!

CHRIZ · 15/10/2004 10:37

this is my 5 th mth of ttc

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:37

Yes it is MommyD - came off the mini pill on 16th September (CD1) Didnt OV until CD 22ish (i think) on CD30 now ... going to test next fri (CD36) if AF hasnt paid me a visit by then..

MommyD · 15/10/2004 10:41

oh yes... i can't keep up! You did tell me yesterday.
I have really started to think I might be pg. Surely not?!!!! bbs are heavy and I never get that unless pg. I keep waking up at night feeling very hot and I'm getting lots of pains on the LHS - they normally go after ov. Who knows? Trying not to think about it too much.

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:43

What CD are you on MommyD?

hester · 15/10/2004 10:44

Aw Minnie, here have some happy vibes ~~~!!*!!~~~

Failing that, I'll get you some white chocolate Maltesers at lunchtime.

MommyD · 15/10/2004 10:46

cd23. AF due next weds. O'd on day 13, or possibly 14 (tell-tall ov pains on LHS this time)
Only bd cd10&11 as dh went away on cd12 for a week. First month of trying. Thought there was no way I would get pg this month. May still not be...
I said I was trying not to think about it - but here I am again, talking about it!!!

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:47

I know what you mean MommyD - part of me just "feels" like i could be and my Boobs do feel a bit weird - sometimes tingly and sometimes almost burning. I asked DH this morning if they looked any bigger because i am sure they feel it - he said "no exactly the same size" ... sure its all in my head - this time next week i will have tested - horray ..

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:52

I really think you could still be in with a chance mommyd. We actually TRIED to BD up to four days before OV and then not on OV because we wanted to give the girl swimmers a chance! This was when i was sure i oved on about CD14 so we stopped on CD10...... then i sat back thinking all the work was done for the month and on CD22 i got the Eggwhite CM!! BDed on CD23 ... dont know exactly when i Oved .. am pressuming sometime around then!?! So the fact that i BD only once around OV doesnt put me in with a great chance this month ... but thats all it took with DS 1 & 2!!!!!

MommyD · 15/10/2004 10:54

TB - did you fall pg quickly with the other two?

MINNIE1 · 15/10/2004 10:56

hester,
Thank you, i am now going to do some work.. (not)Think i will go for choc cake at lunch, just to cheer me up.. (any excuse)

MommyD ,
O finger's crossed you are...

MommyD · 15/10/2004 10:56

posts crossed. I fell pg with ds2 after just one 'risk'.

Tessiebear · 15/10/2004 10:59

MommyD - first month off the combined pill we conceived DS1. DH and i only BDed once that month due to work commitments. After DS1 was born i didnt go back on the pill we just used condoms ... i charted my OV for a few months whilst still using condoms then the month we started trying i worked out when i oved and we Bded once that month and was PG!!!!!

MommyD · 15/10/2004 11:08

Wow TB - what a record! Are you going to make it hat-trick!!?
I came off the mini-pill in Nov00, started trying in Jan01. Fell pg month one, but had a m/c at 4 weeks and 4 days. (If I hadn't tested, I wouldn't have known) Started trying again in April01 and fell pg 3 months later. As said ds2 was conceived when ds1 was 7 month and I said to my dh that there was no way we would fall pg as it was the wrong time of the month, still b/f, had c-section and so on. He didn't believe me, but we took that one 'risk' anyway. OOOpps Found out I was pg on Christmas Eve - he just grinned and said 'Happy Christmas. I told you so!' I was !

Bagpuss30 · 15/10/2004 11:12

Morning all

TB I am also testing a week today so this time next week there will be sychronised weeing on sticks lol. I am getting a bit fed up already with this waiting though. I keep imagining symptoms too. Made myself a cup of tea this morning and couldn't stand the taste also last night I had a diet coke which tasted funny too. Boobs are sore but then that's nothing new at this time of the month anyway so I'm totally confused, although pretty sure it won't happen first time like the other two.
