Congratulations Cosybear

I'm ok-ish. Better than yesterday and looking forward to the weekend .

Just heard my brother and his kids may be over from Australia for Christmas .

How are YOU today? Is the sun shining?

MunnzieB - sorry about AF

CD4 here so not much to report. AF is nothing like last months, thankfully. Looks like it is coming to end too

congrats cosybear 7 cyndii, I'm sure we'll all join you sooner or later. cosybear, make sure you get checked for toxoplasmosis & if neg get dh to do cats.

irishlass, you still there? No experience with combined pill, but I had mirena removed (and they do love to say that you can get pg straight away) but I had 3 months of cycles all over the place, then used persona & 2nd cycle got pg, so 5 cycles in all, 3 of which hormones all over the place. hth

good luck to everyone testing this w/e

It is raining and cold here in oz. not usually like this at this time of year. hoping for a warm day for ds 2nd birthday on the 26th but not like last year it was stinking hot 40 deg.
Just put ds to bed for the night so no for some ME time. he has just been full on this week i think his 2 yr old molars are coming through just makes me thankful that i havent got another baby at this stage i just dont think he could cope with having to share his mummy at the moment. Then again if i fall pg soon dont know how i will cope with being sick and tired and having to run after him he is just so full on. But i wouldnt complain now would i.

You wouldn't dare - certainly not on this thread

What does me time involve - glass of wine? slab of chocolate? cake? (spot the woman sat at her desk and dreaming of freedom...)

Hi - dd has been in hospital for a few days with an awful d&v bug so need to catch up on all the postings (might take me the best part of a day!!). Am on cd23 - had 'o' on my persona on cd 19 and 20 and bd every day apart from cd 21 when I stayed in hospital overnight. Maybe dd is telling me she doesn't want a sibling!!!

pamina thanks for the positive vibes think we are all needing them today.
hester me time is cup of tea and noone pulling me away from catching up with you gals. mmm maybe some junk food
Sallie so sorry ds was so ill there is nothing more heart breaking seeing your child so sick went through that when ds was 9 months old with croup how awlful for you hope she is feeling better.
sneaks away to see if any junk in the pantry

Morning all. Inputted my first temp on FF this morning as my pack of OPK turned up yesterday with the new thermometer. Am hoping I stick to the 40 day cycle that I had last month and don't revert to the 365 day one! Am dreaming that my Sept baby premonition comes true (as is dp!), so we are watching the next month like a pair of fanatics! LOL! Well, whatever it takes! We know that if we don't do it the natural way this side of Christmas, it's off down the frozen popsicle shop for us!! (Sorry, I mean the IVF unit!)

Sallie - hope your dd will be fighting fit soon.

Becki - lol at your description of the frozen popsicle shop... really praying that you get your september baby.

Tania - make sure you get in plenty of sugar and saturated fat, now!

Pamina - thanks for being so lovely. I'm thrilled you've got your stonking great lines now. You and everyone else on here have been so kind to me, and I'm going to keep reminding myself that although it feels that every failed cycle pushes the baby dream further away, it really could happen any time.

After today I probably won't be able to get onto a PC for several days, so you'll all be spared my whimpering through the last days of this cycle. By the time I get back, I'll be about CD3 and feeling perky and hopeful again

Am REALLY going to do some work now. Don't anyone let me talk for at least five hours

Girls what would my cramps be iam only CD15 i got EWCM on CD 8 so asume that i oved on CD 9 or 10 of a 25 day cycle? please someone shed some light on this for me i am getting worried they are not bad but are just there enough for me to feel uncomfortable.

I had bad tummy cramps on Tuesday night and it turned out that I had a mild version of the d&v bug that my dd has been sooo poorly with. Could it be something like that?

Are you sure you definitely OVd then? I noticed that I get cramps around OV time (as predicted by FF anyway).

Tania - could be implantation cramps?! Here's hoping!

I also get cramps around ov time so could be that.

I have been using my saliva ov test and had ferns from cd7 to around CD12 and havent had any since i must admit i am still not 100% confident with the ferns but it is too much of a fluke that i got the EWCM on CD8. Havent bd for the last 2 nights both of us are really tired and TBH over sex on demand IYKWIM. Wouldnt it be too late in my cycle to ov now on CD15?

How long are your cycles?

25 to 26

Based on your ferns and EWCM I'd say you probably did ov before now, I wouldn't worry about the cramps - I get them during some cycles for the whole of the 2 week wait - just think I'm more aware of them now, as I'm conscious of every little twinge as they all give me hope!

Of course, you could always check your cervix...? (see my post to MunnzieB - feel like I'm a cervix checking 'pusher' or something!)

I was going to try that one but really not sure if i know what i am looking (sorry feeling) for? I might give it a go now
Back soon...........

In my experience - if I can feel something up there, then I'm NOT ov'ing, cos when I am, it's too high up for me to reach! But everyone is different so...

bibi - tania Sorry to be thick, but what are you checking cervix for? That you o'd? If so what are you looking for? Does cervix do something different if you conceive? No idea about cervix or CM!!
