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!!!

Hi Misdee - we have had one last natural attempt this month, trying temping and opk. There is a possibility that we may of been lucky this month, you never know, and it pays ot be positive I spose.

keeping everything crossed for beckiF. if you are, and i miss the announcement then come onto the due march board and let me know!!

I dream that I can misdee ... if not, then we wll be booking into the ivf clinic sometime in january.

beckif I live 17 miles north of York.

Hula............enjoy the WW break!

Sallie I am waiting for my big fat 'o' on my persona..............(this the first month of using it!) Cd15 here and no sign yet,,,,I usually get very very sore boobs when I ov ....but nothing yet.

I'm still trying to not make too much of this weird sensation low in my abdomen. Not a pain, or an ache, just a 'sensation' ! I'm getting into the desperate stage aren't I?!

v v quiet here tonight, don't worry becki, relax and let the days pass you by, how long are you planning on waitin b4 trying to test again?

Hi Munnzie ... well, I tested tonight, doh! The usual bfn! Fertility Friend says I should wait until cd36 which is 19dpo. I'm currently 10dpo and my last cycle was 40 days ....

hi all. am i being paranoid and desparate? Im on day 23 of my cycle, i ov on day 10 and bd for 4 days solid (well almost!) for the past few days ive felt 'odd' My tummy feels strange with fluttering and almost as if its detached in some way! My boobs are twinging and i feel knackered! Could i be pregnant or do you tthink its all in my head? This is technically my 3rd pregnancy although my 2nd ended in MC and have been told symptoms get earlier with each pregnancy!

So am i paranoid or could i be pregnant? Who else has had this?

Hi ladies still getting wierd period like pains - digested the abbreviations bit - thanks munnzeib!
I am impressed with what the persona can do - so i have decided to try this next month. My cycle is very regular - always 24-25 days. You'd think with this, i could get Preg easily ! It really p-ses me off!
Anyway on a better note, my DS seems abit better from horrible virus.
Thanks for all your support ladies ! What a friendly site!

Fingers crossed for those nearing testing. No AF yet (due today or tomorrow) but seeing as FF found no OV date, I am just waiting for it t start so I can concentrate on the next month. Think I may have some AF symptoms - difficult to know as tored after busy weekend and drinking/eating too much.

ooh sounds like we have a few testers coming up.....

Hula- I know that you don't think you ov'd but if you are late do you think you'll test...after all there may be a chance??

As for me I am 6 dpo...weeing constantly (beginning to think this is part of post ovulation...reflexologist said my hormones were great so who knows maybe this month could be it?? Not getting over hopeful though yet...but temp is up and staying steady so just gotta wait and see if it stays up longer than 12 days....however I have decided not to test till at least 14 dpo.

ANyway...you might at the raisin thing...but I went without choc for 48 hours doing that...sucumbed tonight though as dh is out!! Will try again tommorrow!!

anyway I'll do the stats again soon..promise...

babydust everyone

I have it right now, Bonkerz. Although I have put mine down to Thanksgiving stress, having MIL here. Although it seems to have gotten worse since she's gone, but it would be far to early for me to be pregnant. Have just put it down to going crazy. Hope yours is the real thing!!!!!!

Geordie - if I was a few days later - say AF hadn't arrived by weekend - then yes, I'd test to be sure. If I could wait that long - well, you never know do you Have more AF symptoms now though.

good luck to all those who are waiting to test

Hula....wouldn't count on FF that much.......you still have a chance! (I can feel it in my water!)

Still waiting for the big 'O' on my persona......think that maybe if I keep opening it and shuting it all day and all night the 'O' will appear........!

Where are you Hest??????????

Hula, you certainly have more will power than me girl! if I was in ur shoes I would have bought half of boots by now ! - then again i've never been able to wait for anything!

jeddah - did hester go to her sisters? or was that u last week?

What do you feel for me in your water Jed?!

But I'm not late yet! AF was CD28 on month 1 and CD27 last month. I am only CD27 now! And maybe possible 10DPO ( if I did OV at all). I am pretty sure AF is on its way though - just feel that way. I am trying to be really good and not get into that habit of testing until after I am late - wonder how long I will keep that up though!

Also, my temps this month are pretty low - only went up a little. Today's high temp is a "discarded" one - taken 2 hours later than normal and although still in bed I had been half dozing for an hour or so (forgot to temp straight away when DD disturbed me) and I had been drinking last night.

I am testing again in the morning but expect another big N (so I drinking a little bit of wine to forget my sorrows).

I think our next thread should be "HPT Anonymous" - is there a 12-step program to wean myself off the dreaded sticks? I might have to start stealing money from my mum to fund my habit...

Good luck morningpaper - hope it is your month after all

Good Morning girls
Havent read through the posts yet will do later.
Put our xmas tree last night and deco's looks fab now lets see if ds can leave it alone????
Well still havent had any ferns on my ov test so i dont think this will be the month even if i did ov didnt do any Successful bd. DH seems to be under alot of pressure and it hasnt been successful in that department iykwim. Looks like i will be going down the op mode next month if i fell pg it would be a only bd once successfuly. CD15 of a 26-27 day cycle so really not expecting to ov this late in my cycle. well at least i can have some drinks in the festive season......
Hope you are all well best of luck to all that are waiting to test.

Good luck, morningpaper!!

morning ladies, AF turned up today, I think she's a day early as well?? (will have to check) at least I can not use my persona! lol. Hope every one is doing OK.

Just checked, this month is 25 days poss a result of the starflower? It apprears (according to on call) i OV'd for 3 days?? between days 11-13 but haven't according to clear blue although on day 11 I had two strong lines on there.

Sorry about AF

CD28 here. Just realised that I am a day out waiting for AF. Cycle has been 27 and 28 days, so AF is actually only due today or tomorrow, not yesterday. Sure I have some AF like symptoms.
