TTC Thread 13.................Still send babydust our way please

[Tania2]

Well girls here is another thread.
Lets hope it brings us as much luck as 10 did to all our friends that graduated it.
Love Tan Tan

becki....it is normal for temps to drop up and down before ov...its after ov that they tend to stay up....keep at it......it really does work. I thought like you and you will soon see a pattern!...I had been temping for 11 months!

Pixi welcome to the clan!

Tania LOL your mails make me smile so much....keep that bloody milk away! I know this tends to make him go back to sleep, but it should be the psychologoical process rather than the milk! (easy for me to say this....having a first class honours in HV is very bloody different to actually doing it!!!!!!!!!!

Sallie and mariella....it is best to test at least 14dpo.......tessiebear is right!

Minnie1......LOL ....we are on cd19 today and cd20 tomorrow...I think I ov on day 12/13/14? so bded all week!....going natural is a pain...I would much rather know, but I have known for 11 bloody months and see where that got me.....nowhere!

Thanks for the tips with the persona sallie, it will come in handy!, I don't think the 21 day test will show PG, but might be wrong?? I think the main thing they check is if your body can sustain early pregnancy, they say low prog. usual means higher risks of M/C, don't know if it's right or not, as that's what I read on the internet b4 I had my tests done. Rang the dr yesterday for my results..... surprise surprise they were not there yet!, (so i'm going to have to avoid temptation and not ring till friday) boobs feeling heavy today and achey like they did when I first came off the pill, so am taking it as a good sign.

pixi, welcome, hope you're stay is not too long.... in the nicest posiible way that is! lol.

is the clear blue fertility moniter the american version of the persona?? looks like for both do the stick thing?? any ideas?

jeddah,

Morning girls, how is everyone today? Can't remember now who it was but did someone post about a dp really annoying them? What was that all about then?! Come on, entertain us on this boring Weds morning.....

Nothing new with me, just waiting...

about AF alterego

CD9 here, so nothing much to report on. Also feeling rotten Think I must have some form of virus. I ache everywhere. Hope it has gone by tomorrow though as I am supposed to be going to the Spa. Supposed to be having my hair done tonight too.

Good morning girls!
Had a shit day after hot water system blew up we had to get a plumber out to fit a new one that cost heaps of $$$ ds cried most of the morning cause he wanted a shower, he had a temp and was really grumpy. went to a friends house to see her daughter for her 2nd b'day ds was great there and fell asleep on the way home. managed to do a bit of spring cleaning and wash the car and when dh got home went and did the food shopping. so at least i feel i have accomplished something today. But still feel sick every now and then so confusing i bet i get af thought.
Jeddah I have been using the fern thing for the past two cycles really hope that it helps its great to pin point the right time as i dont always get the natural symptoms of oving like some.
Altergo sorry about AF
Hula hoping you feel better soon.

alterego, Af arrived, And good luvk with the persona.. keep me updated on it...

Tania,
Finger crossed for youxxxxxx your nearest to testing..
Jeddah,
The wait will kill me, But i just mix up my CD dates again and i won't know the difference!!!!!

Hi everyone - just quickly checking in which is all I can do at the moment as I'm just too busy with work to chat!!! What a pain work can be!

Hope everyone is doing OK - sorry for all the AF's arriving but onwards and upwards???

Jeddah - can't believe you are making a fat free cake??? What is the point??? The best bit of mine (apart from the bottle of booze in it!!!) is the joy of having a huge piece with large cup of tea and tasting all those ground almonds in it!!! But I do think I have seen your jar of stuff in our large Sainsburys - I will investigate although it might not be much use to you as you are Up North aren't you?!!! I'll let you know when I do big shop on Friday!

Anyway - not much more news although must share with you that DD slept through the night last night for the first time since May!!!! Deleriously happy!!!! Sending my good vibes to Tania2 - you can do it too!!!

Have a good day everyone! xxxx

I am sending as hard as I can xxxxxxxxxx

CONGRATULATIONS silverlining hope you enjoyed your sleep and send all those vibes my way i really need them. Dont think ds i very well though dont know if he is just teething or is coming down with something. Wish me luck for tonight iam about to go to bed now need an early night. Hope dd keeps sleeping through for you.

Good luck Tania - poor you if DS is coming down with something but you do still need to be strong!! DD is still not 100% and I've loaded her up with plenty of drugs (with medical advice!!!) so don't know if that helped!!

You are doing so well so maintain the momemtum and get some sleep while you can too!!! Off to bed with you and no more mumsnet

xxxx

hi all - god it's difficult to keep up with where everyone is! but seems like a few are up for testing soon...Sallie, Mariella...??? oh, and me! I'm two days away but it still feels like a lifetime. Nearly fainted and felt v. sick last night but this morning feel great physically so desperately trying not to read anything into it. Didn't know OV date this month so really not sure if we BD'd at the right time...

Sallie and Nikkichik - how are you DDs? Hope they are both feeling better.

My DS bawled his eyes out this morning when I left him with carer

Anyway, hope all are doing well. Lashings of babydust all round xxx

jeddah - can't help with the fruit concentrate but I have a recipe for a fab saturated fat and sugar free banana and carrot cake...

ok need advice please. Anyone used the medisave ov kits? have read instructions and seems fiddly. When should i do it, should be ovulating around 14th so do i do it from then or before? This is the first month i have done this with the ov kits and am nervous!

I think that was me Rantus, as you may/not know DH is away at the mo, and in their wisdom, the lads who he has gone out wiht have decided to put their pics on the internet web site hot or not, he proceeded to tell me he is also putting his picute on there as theyr're running a comp. to see hows the 'hottest' one of them and the loser has to put $10.00 in the kitty for beer money (about £7-8.00) when they get back, so any wyas you can also contact hte people on this site, so i said what happens if some one contact you, to which he said, oh it doesn't matter cos we're running another one to see who can get the most xmas cards, and as they only have hid BFPO address he didn't see why in gods name I should be upset about other women sending him cards etc.... ( I may have over reacted slightly at the time as i din't get the full storry to begin with) I have since thou. any ways, the looser also has of this one also has to put money in the jar. I then proceeeded to call me paraniod and possessive.... (yeah right how can i do that when he's half way across the world???) so when he rang about an hour later we had it out and sorted things out, I think it was a case of cross wires. I explained about this 21 day tests... and his responce was well we'll just have to try harder!

anyways, good luck tania I hope you are PG, keep us posted. Jeddah, which moniter are you going to try?

SOunds like one of our rows Munzie.....best forgotten and move on. Somehow I always end up making a tit of myself!

lol, well it is now. (not happy about it really if these other girls send pics etc) but as long as it stays were he is and doesn't come home that it's not so bad! how r u doing?

Just read the thread ater a day or so out - Thanks RudyDudy dd all OK now - turned out to be a one off but you can't help worrying all the same!
Feeling a bit sorry for myself today I must admit - af really heavy and also hurt my back yesterday trying to shut a sticking sash window. Failed miserably and had to be a total wet girly and wait for dh to get home and do it - dd and I had to put an extra layer on!! Will stop moaning now and get on with some work!
Good luck to all about to test and for those that are still waiting. Long live baby dust!
