Hula - will there be any swimmers hanging around from Fri - dont think BDing is possible today!

Hulababy · 04/10/2004 09:43

OV should follow very very soon - maybe tomorrow??? Your DH needs to be warned OPains could be related to OV too. I had cramps night before my temps rose.

Hulababy · 04/10/2004 09:44

More than possibly - girly ones! They hang around longer. But if you BD today - the boys ones have a chance too

Geordie · 04/10/2004 09:45

there are people who have fallen pg having only bd up to 4 days before O...it isn't as likely though...as hula says what about omorrow...eggs live for 12 hours!!

Tessiebear · 04/10/2004 09:45

ooooohhhhh then i think i will abstain from BDing and let the girls have a chance then [ wink]

Tessiebear · 04/10/2004 09:45
Wink

Good idea Geordie, I'll see what happens this month and if need be, I'll make an appointment with the Doctor. I can always ask them to do the test, worst case he'll say no and think I'm neurotic!

I could always fib and say I've been temping for 3/4 months?!

cp3 · 04/10/2004 09:59

ooh this thread is so exciting. Your all so close and i have ages to go but i am excited for you all

Trying realy hard not to think about it cp3.....ignorance is bliss and all that!

Geordie · 04/10/2004 10:10

runtus-
they might not be so bothered about temping as they will be about how long you've been trying. My gp did blood tests after a year- I had temped for 4 months into that year.

You might need to say that you have temped (my dr never asked to see my charts) the main thing is that if you are quite stressed by ttc then the bloods will put your mind at ease a bit about ov- this was the line I took with my dr!!

Hope that you get the bfp before you need to go down that route!!

runtus · 04/10/2004 10:17

I'll go for the emotional route I think, "I would be able to relx if I knew etc...." sounds good!

MrsWednesday · 04/10/2004 10:19

Thanks for all your supportive messages, they are much appreciated. I'm feeling ok now, just got to write the 'congratulations on your baby' card (through gritted teeth!) then I'll try and forget about it!

So, there's a few coming up to testing time then - it's exciting! Runtus, how much longer are you going to wait before testing? I admire your patience. Geordie, when are you due? Good luck muddaofsuburbia!

I'm due today, AF hasn't arrived yet but I'm having AF pains and absolutely no pg symptoms. Will see if it arrives tomorrow or Wednesday and may test on Thursday if not (cycles have gone a bit haywire lately).

Hope you are all having a fun Monday so far

Geordie · 04/10/2004 10:22

Due anytime from 15 days after O so friday ish?? only my thrird cycle post baby so we'll see!!

mmmmm cramps with no af- I have that for a week after my af was due with ds...and they got worse and worse until i dared to test- and it was ++++++- don't give up till it actually happnes mrsw!!

runtus · 04/10/2004 10:26

Don't know really MrsW, was sort of planning on waiting to come on and be disappointed naturally but I may crack soon. Tomorrow is CD36 so if I haven't come on by then I think I may test tomorrow night........dp will tell me not to though!

Good luck with your testing too!

sweetheart · 04/10/2004 10:34

Runtus!!!!! Don't forget to book your smear love!!!!!

MommyD · 04/10/2004 10:34

ttc #3 and on cd12 today. dh gone away for the week and so only bd up until cd11!! Anyone know of anyone getting pg when stopping bd 3-4 days before ov? (We weren't up to it this morning - dh left at 4:30 to catch a flight, so cd11 it has to be!) PS Still standing on my head from last night

runtus · 04/10/2004 10:38

Ha ha Sweetheart!

I had sooo forgotten about that again!

sweetheart · 04/10/2004 10:48

I've been away for a few days and have had some time to pick myslef up from the disappointmtne of having my gyne apt cancelled last week.

I'm trying to take a lighter approach to ttc ATM coz I've been getting too stressed out about it recently. I got my ovulation kits in the post on Friday so I'm relying on those to tell me the right time this month.

Glad to be of service Runtus, where have you been - seems like long time no see!!!

AND

Tex111 - so glad to see you back. I hope you've had a relaxing month and are ready to start ttc again with a PMA!!!!

Good luck and fingers crossed for everyone!!!
Spread the good vibes and babydust ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

MINNIE1 · 04/10/2004 10:56

Good morning all, OMG so much to catch up on!!! so i'm just goin to start here...
CD18 for me.. Don't think my chances are high this month.. but still in hope !!!
runtus, Good luck
MrsWednesday, still in hope 4 you..(AF is a b%tch..
cp3 , What CD are you on.. I think were close enough..
Tessiebear, Good luck.. i had the CM yesterday
Good luck to all testing soon and those bding's..
have a nice day..

runtus · 04/10/2004 11:00

Good to have you back Sweetheart and Minnie, nice to see some old faces again!

I know what you mean S/heart, I was away from work for a bit last week and then you went away didn't you? Seems like loads longer, what with all the waiting going on!

Glad you are feeling a bit better over the disappointment of last week, here's hoping you don't need their smelly old appointment and get pg this month!

Tessiebear · 04/10/2004 11:00

MommyD - a friend of mine conceived when she had BD'd 5 days before OV. I have heard another story on MN where somebody conceived when they had onlyBD'd once just after AF! I Bd'd on Fri and not since and think i am OVing today or tommorow - i am giving the ttc a girl a shot!

MommyD · 04/10/2004 11:05

Tessiebear - I did say I would give the girl thing a go too - but I was planning to go a day or so closer to ov!! Did your friend conceive a girl or a boy?
What on earth do the swimmers do in there for 5 days?? Hang about fighting and jostling for position?! I find it hard to believe

sweetheart · 04/10/2004 11:16

Yeah - smelly old doctors!!!!! lol if in doubt - resort to being juvenile!!!!!

I actually had a very wierd feeling after dh and i bd last night. TMI WARNING!!!!! ( not sure if it was coz of the 2 great orgasums or because a sperm and an egg were shaking hands!!!!) SORRY!!!!

Anyway we'll have to wait another 2(ish) weeks to find out.

runtus · 04/10/2004 11:19

Either way - GOOD NEWS!

cp3 · 04/10/2004 11:27

Sweetheart Two??????
