Here we go! Thread 14 for the nicest bunch of women on Mumsnet

Thread 13 was very joyful and very painful for me, but what it has shown me is that even old warhorses like me can get lucky, so there's no excuse for all you nubile young honies not to deliver the goods! Come on now, Mama Hester expects you to do your duty by your fellow ttc-ers

Get ready now, 1 - 2 - 3, GO!!!

(((tooks))) glad you have a nice DH to give you some RL hugs and tlc

Hi all - too much here to catch upon, must check in more often!

Tooks - so sorry your happy news has turned sad. Hugs to you.

Wish I could give you all some good news, but still in limbo here. CD 29, and supposedly 19dpo, although I think that must be wrong as I got a temp rise on CD10 but then EWCM on CD12. Which is the more accurate way to judge OV? Also, since I am missing a fallopian tube and I understand that the egg from the ovary that is missing the tube just floats over to the other tube (how clever is that?!), does that mean that it takes longer to be in a position to be fertilised? Would that account for the delay between temp rise and EWCM? Sorry to be so technical, but I am wondering. No pregnancy symptoms either, and 2 negative preg tests (one on Weds last week and one on Saturday morning). So I guess I wait another day and if no af then another test. Cross your fingers for me.

Oh no! I've killed the thread!

munnzieb · 22/11/2004 17:42

Is anyone testing soon we need a BFP.

jeddah · 22/11/2004 18:42

WE NEED A BFP!!!!!!

RudyDudy · 22/11/2004 19:06

Sorry can't help. I'm in pre OV waiting time. Main trouble with a long cycle is that is seems FOREVER in between O. CD7 here and probably won't O until CD21 - am still bding anyway as read once that you can get pg at anytime in your cycle and I'm willing to try anything (Don't feel you have to tell me if that's complete bllks - the bd is a fun distraction anyway )

Who is waiting to test?

BeckiF · 22/11/2004 19:07

I wish Jeddah!!

Twiga · 22/11/2004 19:50

I'm kinda waiting to test CD27 here - af due tom/weds at earliest and worst case senario if body still getting over mc 2nd Dec - was going to wait until after the 2nd.

BeckiF · 22/11/2004 20:06

My OPK was feinter than ever tonight so I've had whatever surge I was going to get I think ....

moschops · 22/11/2004 20:09

i'm going to wait until the weekend to test again.
the shortest cycle i've had was 40ish days. i'm still feeling a bit queasy. i'm sure my nipples have changed shape, and i have loads of saliva. i keep telling myself i'm imagining all this, i'm going to send myself crazy!!!!! thank god i have a busy week to keep my mind off it (yeah right!!!)

if i get a bfn at the weekend then i'll stop fooling myself and wait for AF.

well back to work tomorrow for me........if it's quiet i'll spend most of my day on here anyway!!

munnzieb · 22/11/2004 21:10

right then girls, i've just done my 40 lenghts at the pool, and am now rewarding myself with a nice big slice of choc brownie cake. ... aparently excersice helps fertility.... any ideas on what excersice/ for how long?...

geordie · 22/11/2004 21:12

Twiga · 22/11/2004 22:12

Hi Tania, good to know when a plan comes together, 5am, there's dedication for you! Nearly bedtime here, dh has got some reading to do for a course tomorrow and I'm just hanging about really. The next few days are going to be a strain - caught in the whole am I, aren't I thing, aaaaargh!

jeddah · 22/11/2004 22:50

girls......we need cheering up..here is a joke!

Woman goes into the doctors with a piece of lettuce sticking out of her vagina!.........

When she finally gets in to see the doctor............he says:

'you do know that you have a piece of lettuce hanging out of your vagina don't you?'

and the woman says.......Doctor!!!!....thats just the f-g tip of the iceburg!

Tania2 · 23/11/2004 01:33

LOL Jeddah

Tania2 · 23/11/2004 04:42

Well just had my appointment with the gyno. Not really what i wanted to hear. First he will not do the op unless dh has had his swimmers tested which i agree so now i have to put the presure on dh to fill the cup. secondly if iam not pg with in 4 to 6 cycles after having the op he wants me to do ivf. didnt really think i would need to go that far. anyway he also said that there should be no reason why i could ttc again straight after the op once i stop bleeding i could even fall pg that month after op fingers crossed. well must go clean up for the party tomorrow at least i have ds that i can spoil for the moment to keep me sane. IYKWIM. I might try to pop in tonight for a chat if iam not too busy baking

runtus · 23/11/2004 08:40

Hi girls, sorry for not being around yesterday all went a bit manic at work. "Return to work after maternity" colleague was due back yesterday but the baby was ill (typical eh?!) so it all went a bit haywire here. Hopefuly she will be in today though, think she is going a bit stir crazy at home and was really looking forward to speaking to adults again!

Did another test last night cos I have been having the worst stomach ache ever, my hormones have gone totally mental and still no af - another bfn I'm afraid. So it won't be me bringing the good news this month, sorry girls. It was a very long shot anyway given my blood results but it was worth a try I guess. Thankfully I feel a lot better today, so maybe I just had a bug or something? Do wish AF would arrive now though, cd 43 and REALLY want to start my Clomid. Feel like I am trapped in some sort of time warp, Groundhog Day!!

runtus · 23/11/2004 08:41

Tania - sorry mate, pressed post before I meant to.........IVF sounds a bit scary doesn't it? Hopefully your op will sort it all out and you'll be preggers within the month....these things can happen!

Hulababy · 23/11/2004 08:45

(((hugs))) Tania; all sounds very scary.

FF has decided this morning that my data for this month cannot detect accursately an OV pattern???? Why's that? My temp hasn't risen much I know but yesterday it said CD17, now not detected. Any ideas?

here but todays data not shown yet Temp today was 36.48 so very slightly higher than yesterday.

munnzieb · 23/11/2004 08:54

((((hugs)))) tania, Hopefully it won't come to IVF, you could always offer to help DH with his little pot! he he he, we bd every other day for the week proceeding DH's sperm count, and it was normal, I think i read somewhere if you do bd at regular intervals the sperm in healthier or something. Hope you have a good day baking thou and spoil DS!

Jeddah - I love the joke! lol.
