TTC Thread 14 ... Santa knows what we want for Christmas

[hester]

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!!!

Good morning girls, Just quickly read through the post iam in for the fitness challenge and i will even diet too
Good luck at the doc's Jeddah xx
Well was too tired again this morning to bd this is not good. You know i always said that we cant have a sept baby cause we have about 10 birthdays in sept well maybe thats whats going to happen. Stuffed this month proberly then have the op next month and hopefully fall pg after that fingers crossed. hope you all have a great weekend and thank you for all your bithday wishes for my ds.

Hi all and welcome to all the new comers. Feeling much chirpier tonight Must be the thought of a fun weekend. We have friends coming later tonight and staying for the weekend, so should be great fun. Won't be online so much as a result.

CD25 now, so AF shpuld be due Sunday or Monday I guess. Then I can start a fresh new monh and hopefully FF will pinpoint OV for me!

Evening all (morning Tania)

feeling better myself cos I ov'd earlier and my reflexologist says my hormones are really strong...looking good. cd 21....so another8-10 days to go.....

think i might join the fitness challenge. Walking for 1 hour per day..swimming once per week...and eating...hmmmm only one small bar of chocolate per week (!! or am I being cruel?)...and will eat a raisin everytime I am tempted. Have also ordered a pedometre from walkers about 2 weeks ago.....

geordie - hon don't take it to the extreame! u need at least one bar of choc per day! lol. a Raisin are u mad, you can't substitue choc for raisins! lol,

the boss in work had one of those walker things, she's 75, she walked about 2 mile and it said she'd only done 300 steps! hopefully youre one will work!

I'm already doing WW again. When I did finally concieve last time with DD I had just lost lots of weight and was really happy. Was going to gym too, but don't have time for that now at all. Been doing it for nearly 4 weeks now and have lost neary half a stone - slowly and steadily, but did involve a massive meal out (all expenses paid) so would have been more without that.

sorry girls, that link is not as good as I thought, tht was the net price the price after VAT is £9.34 - bloody gordon brown! it's not that much more just to go to Boots.

hi folks - thoroughly depressed with the "why cn't I question " Would reallt like some support from mums who amanaged to conceive at 38 = As I just feel like my DS will never have a brother/sister. Also anyone who uses an ovulation presictor - do you make ove as soon as you get the positive result or do you wait 24 hours ? Not sure as the instructions differ according to what make od predictor you buy. Any advice greatlt apprecdiated.

can't spell sorry !

munnzieb....the 3 times a week is quite easy for me........ I go on a monday day as this is my day off work (I only work a 4 day week). Then I go on a Wednesday night after work. Then
a Saturday as my dh is usually working in the morning (hes a farmer).
But I do understand its harder for other people

Beckif I am a trained personal trainer also, fitness instructor and sports therapist......and I think big women are great also!

Munnzieb, yes we have had all the tests and apart from the swimmers being slighly low, everything is fine....but I am very very irregular!

Hula......have a great weekend, good luck with FF.

Marinda.......if you are using OV predictors.....you make love (bd=babydance)as soon as it starts to show a positve. The easiest way to look at it is.........the best way is for the sperm to be there when you ovulate.
A positve means that you are likely to OV within 24 hrs (at anytime!) so bd regulary to give you best chances hope this helps!

cd14 for me today, first time I am using my persona, so I have been peeing on a stick every morning!
Me and my dh are bding every other day (he thinks all his bloody birthdays have come at once!!) We are off to the DRs on wed to get his 2nd smaple results as forst was a bit low! (he was sat in a boiling hot tractor all morning in the middle of August when he did his first sample..........NOT IN THE TRACTOR!)

Its very quiet today where is everyone!

Beckif just remebered you live in Liverpool!
Are you a scouser?????? cos I am too....where were you born, what area are you living in????

off for some breckie!

sample even!

first even!

how are we all today?

morning ladies,

well I hope all goes to plan at the drs jeddah, keeping all my fingers crossed for you, and sending over loadsa luck. how are you finding the persona?

I've been generally having a bad two days really, feeling v v hormonal and on the verge of tears all the time, god I hate when AF is due! still thou spoke to DH yesterday who's made me promise to go out and have some fun shopping!, so i'm off to tidy the house and then do the skirtings and sand the banister down as pay day's not for another 3 days! lol

Morning all! Wow Jeddah, what can't you do?! Hope things go well at the Drs on Weds.

Hula sounds like the whole ww thing is going well, keep up the good work! Have a fab weekend!

Geordie, lol at the raisins

{{{hugs}}} Munzie x

Feeling fine today, not hugely entusiatic about being on shift overnight but oh well.........

Good morning girls,
CD 13 here dont think i have ov this month and its really getting too late in my cycle to ov now as i would be due for af in about 7-8 days so even if i ov today that would be too short wouldnt it?
Anyway really keen to start the diet next week and start walking....if the weather isnt so bloody hot. Just had a fight with dh about getting an airconditioner he wants us to tough it out for another summer but i hate the heat and since we have done some reno's (knocked out a wall to make it open plan living) the living area is so much hotter as the sun beams in the lounge window all arvo. Bugger need some releaf here tooo hot.....
Hope everyone is well.

Sorry make that at least 11 days till af so i should bd tonight just in case...Shit we have only bd twice this month that is awlful poor dh but we have just been so tired. If i fell pg this month i think dh would think i was having an affair actually so would i [confused face icon]

hi Tania......there's you too hot and here's me too cold!! lol

had a good meal last night, but dp was upset by comments from one of our friends. i wasn't in the room when they were said or i'd have kicked off!! he kept saying to our other friend 'maybe you should give him some hints on how to get his missus pg'. my dp and other friend just looked at each other in amazement. he's a really good friend but had too much to drink and was insensitive.

anyway i brought lots of babydust to sprinkle on this thread. my friend is blooming!! only 8 weeks to go........

xx~~xx~~xx~~xx~~

feeling a bit lonely today, dp gone back into the studio for the day think i'll go and hug the dog x

Tania ....its bloody freezing here!!!!
You stick it out for the aircon, I lived in the middle east for 7 years and the only thing that kept me there was aircon!!! (and the money!)

Thanks oops!

munnzieb......the persona is going well! Much better than OPKs as the machine does it all for you! Cd14......not OV yet but I usually OV cd13-cd22....so still waiting. Did you re-set it ok?? is it all ready to go?

Moschops.....don't feel lonely......we are all here with you!! My dh has gone out in the fields working all day....not back until 6pm tonight.Walking to the village at 2pm with mother-in -law to the village school fate>>>>>.ooooooh how exciting!

((hugs)) moschops, arn't dog really a womans best friend, (our two are more mine that DH's!)

Jeddah - the persona is already for me to just press the 'm' buttom, which I have no doubt i'll be doing on tuesday, i need to get some sticks, but i think i'll go to boots instead of buying on line.

tania..... do u think u could send some of your heat over to us?, it's piddleing it down in wales, and v v cold as well. (not quite enough for snow thou!)

Morning...Fertility Friend has finally decided that I may of ovulated 9 days ago and has given me a proper chart! We bd at the right time, apart from ovulation day, but it still gives us a score of 'good' ... I am more than positive that we won't be lucky but there is that enormous 1% chance still in my mind. Will keep you posted as it is prompting me to test on day 18 which is a week on Tuesday.
