CD29, 11DPO, today. Still have AF type symptoms of lower backache and some tuummy cramps. Had temp dip yesterday but temp back up again today. No AF yet but all signs to say it is on it's way. Just wish I knew when it was due - at least next cycle I will have a clearer idea hopefully.

Off tonight to meet our friend's newboarn baby boy. He's 5 days old so bound to make me feel even more broody.

Hope everyone is well today.

morning everyone,

cd 30 today and no af signs yet but my temp has dropped (still over the coverline but only just). So I think it's only a matter of time now waiting for af to show up
we'll it was only my first cycle- just feeling really worried already as I don't want dh and i to go through the awful 2 years we had last time. Trying to be positive though as soon as af is here i can concentrate on next time. Anyway reflexologist should help.....amending my diet at the mo to get my digestive system sorted- that was sooo painful last time i went- she only had to touch my toes a bit on the left foot!! Next visit we are looking at fertility!!

anyway better go ds eating a prune...making a total mess.

thanks to the person who mentioned the medisave website - i bought 40 opk tests yesterday for £35! i tried to get on the oxford fertility study which was mentioned on another thread but was turned down because my dp had a vasectomy reversal - so these cheap opk sticks are the next best thing.
trying for baby number 1, though have 2 step sons who are 7 and 4, so have a pretty good inkling of what's to come, though babies a total mystery!!
it's very exciting though, finally getting to this stage in my life!
good luck to everyone else, and thanks for the welcome onto TTC!!

Tania - afraid i cant help with you OV predictor query - although i am sure i got OV cramps this month (knowing me i probably imagined it!)

Hula - i know what you mean about wishing AF would hurry up - at least then we would be able to plan for next month!

Well after a day of being fed up and moody yesterday i confessed to DH that i had done a HPT. He is clueless about the whole proceedure and i didnt tell him that i had done it way too early to get a positive anyway! He has just pressumed that i am not pg this month (his words were "Oh, that means loads of rumpy pumpy again next month then [excited face icon]"
Woke at 3AM this morning and spent the following 4 hours feeling sick and not getting back to sleep properly. I was convinced that i had a "bug" coming but since i have been up and eaten something the sickness has gone! The last time i experienced anything like this was when i was pg with DS2 (but that was when i started getting the sickness at about 6 weeks)

Tessiebear · 06/10/2004 09:35

Good luck Geordie and Valleygirl!

sweetheart · 06/10/2004 09:37

Tessiebear · 06/10/2004 09:37

MUDDA OF S -Did you test?????? (I logged in loads after 6pm last night) Does your silence speak volumes - just give us a yes of a no!

mrsflowerpot · 06/10/2004 09:42

Morning everyone.

You're right - no news from Mudda last night - are you there???

Hope everyone is well this morning.

CD28, HPT still in its box in the drawer, and it's staying there until the weekend, if I get that far as I'm starting to feel a bit AF-y.

LipstickMum · 06/10/2004 09:42

Yes, I am longing to know too, although she did say that she would like to let family know first. I hope it was good news for her!

congrats mudda,excellent news

sweetheart · 06/10/2004 10:06

MASSIVE congrats Mudda - you must be soooo pleased

valleygirl · 06/10/2004 10:06

Sweetheart - give a woman called Lise Bromhall a call on 01865 216 709. it is a study of 3 fertilty monitoring machines they are developing -the study is completely confidential and is for a maximum of 6 months. you are given 6 months's worth of opk tests too, and in that 6 months (if you don't get pregnant in the menatime that is) you have to chart your temperature and track your hormone levels with the sticks and all the info is downloaded onto your machine. if you don't get pregnant after 6 months the nurse will give you the relevant info on your fertility that they've gathered from the machine. it sounded ideal.
don' tell them you've been tryign for longer than 4 months to get pregant either - the fact that we had been (very) casually trying for 8 months or so was also a factor in us being turned down.

MrsWednesday · 06/10/2004 10:07
