Temping buddies 9 - New year, new start, new bfp's please

[Gracie14]

Hi all,

Minxi - Thought I'd do what you said and start a new thread for 2008 (even though we have got a few days to go). Sorry to hear about AF but pleased your staying positive definately get reflexology going its worked wonders for me

Hope you have all had a lovely christmas

Well I am scared to type this (let alone say it out load) after last time but I got a BFP this morning!!! I am so scared and happy all rolled into one because of MC in October I so hope this one holds on.

FYM- wow, I just read that thread. What a rollercoaster. The first instinct I had was yes of course I would keep them all, but there are a lot of considerations aren't there. The risks are greater as the woman gets older, so it's something I've thought about a bit (though twins rather than triplets)plus my maternal grandmother had twins at the age of 36. Plus if she kept them all she could've lost them all iyswim as the pg is more risky. The way I feel now is that one would be a blessing, three would be a triple blessing ......but I think I am biased having lost 3. When you think of the practicalities eg having to move house, cost of childcare, new car etc............I can understand that it would take a lot of consideration!

Ready/Rah - so sad to see you at the top of the list. Glad to see the disarray in the list brought Ready out to tidy up. Might have to do a bit of messing with it just to keep you occupied.
Rah, are you having another unmedicated cycle?

I can't imagine having 3 - not even one at a time! No idea what my decision would be if I was faced with the same challenge. I think she has been very brave managing to make the decision that was necessary for her family.

Sadly I am back working while at work. Not much money around though so it may run out again soon

With regards to the thread about the triplets... probably best not to comment, you know, judge not lest ye be judged, but and

It's hard for us to be impartial I think - cos we want a baby so much.

I agree. It is a difficult topic, I find the outcome difficult to get my head round, if I am completely honest.
But again, it's not fair for me to judge her. Although I know that I would not terminate in that situation, it is her life and she needs to make the decisions that are right for her and her family. Terribly sad decision to have to make.

Very sad

I have a question about LP - what is it exactly? And how do you find out how long it is? I'm a bit lost on the LP front!

The triplets thing is so hard. Having no dc I would obviously keep them and be done with any more but if I already had 1 or 2 dc I'm not sure what I would do. I guess we all come from our own places on this. I was 1 of 4 girls and my parents couldn't really afford (financially or timewise) to have us all. we were all loved but day to day life was such a struggle and I only have a tiny handful of memories where I had time on my own with either parent so I am pretty adamant about never wanting that many.

Like everything else parenting related we can only do the best we can. What a horrid thing to have to go through!

No judgements on anyone !!! I just find it interesting I think if you had asked my DH the same question before we had DS he would probably have said selective termination - now we have DS, DH is so very very against termination.... I guess it's now that he's seen the realities of pregnancy and babies it's made it more real.

ah well first test tomorrow. I expect BFN for two reasons
a) with ds I was 12 DPO before BFP and
b) I don't really expect to catch on cycle 1! I will be really if it was BFP!
Wish me luck girls

Although woth all that BD-ing on holiday you never know

You never know, FYM - I conceived DS after only three weeks of trying and at the grand old age of 37. Fingers crossed for you, ducks; do let us know how you get on.

Good luck bb2b Would be a good way to start the weekend.

Any of you experts in this whole FAM thing? Ok, will be really honest. I have the book and I have read lots of it but probably not as much as I should have. I now know that ovulation can be as late as day 21 She says to keep having sex as long as you have fertile looking fluid. Well I have ewcm for the 4th day and no obvious thermal shift, so I guess I should keep trying? Oh god - I'm bloody knackered

Oops I meant good luck FYM

bb2b - lp is luteal phase (I didn't know what it was either!). It's the time between ovulation and your next period. For implantation the lp should ideally be at least 10 days.

Well.... no control line on the test
maybe I'm officially dead! F***g cheepie ebay tests !

well no thermal shift yet. I don't think it will happen this month. Seems as if my cycle is still not right

fym - how annoying about your test Going to do another?

ladylush some women don't have a thermal shift but it's a small percentage - you may be one of those....

Can't do another test as I threw away the wee before I realised it wasn't working...
I think it's too early to do a middle of the day test.

Maybe - I seem to fall in the small percentage for a few things Why can't I just be normal?

Oh bugger - never mind, if you test tomorrow the test will be more reliable

Hullo ladies!

Sorry to hear about your test, FYM. That is annoying! Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow morning.

Ladylush, if you can muster the energy, go for it! I had 5 days of EGCM this cycle whereas normally I'm lucky if I get 2. DH did have to cry off 'jiggy' duties in the end.

Hope everyone is ok. I've just got back from buying an outfit for a wedding I'm going to next week. Managed to bag some bargains too, so very pleased - got a whole outfit (fancy frock, nice shoes, 'magic knickers', clutch bag and fascinator) for £125 at Debenhams.

(....and a bolero jacket to conceal my bingo wings too....)

FP - what a bargain Hope you have a great time at the wedding. I love weddings.
I couldn't muster the energy last night and today I have no ewcm and no thermal shift. Tres confusing. Will see what the thermometer is saying tomorrow.

Good luck tomorrow FYM

BFN for me this morning.....
