[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.

So could I.....I'm now thinking of them lightly toasted with lots of melting butter dripping off them.....

mystic meg< I can foresee a trip to Sainsbury's in the morning.>mystic meg

All this hcb talk has prompted me to get some crumpets out of the freezer, ready for the morning. Next best thing

Still can't find my thermometer. Totally and utterly baffled. Have unpacked everything.

Ready haven't temped for a couple of months and only started cd9...thought would be a change. Although temp hike today so thinking I may ovulate soon..?! or have already!

4.5 miles walk this morning felt totally unfit but feel better - going to get exercise ball out in a minute for a few minutes of weights - well may as well as still have gym gear on!!

Rah where are you - getting ready for Isabella egg...! Hoep you are well

Am feeling a bit better today just like you say January blues...
right off to do my ball!!

Hi Minix I'm here!

I'm having trouble with my internet. We registered with Sky when we moved and had nothing but problems.

Sorry you have been feeling a bit low, I defo think its the Jan blues. I didn't want to take the xmas tree down yesterday!

My first appointment with the clinic is Wednesday so should find out what my egg is up to then. ... Isabella says hi!

I'm not sure if you've ovulated yet Minxi, so keep going at it!

OMG I had totally forgotten it was my 17th cycle There is something to be said for losing my fertility booklet. Sigh.

Minxi - Glad you feel better after your walk! Keep it going with the walking, it's great exercise, better for the joints than pounding the pavements jogging

Rah - YEAAAH! Come on Isabella - Nice and fat and ripe

Anyone heard from NappyValley and Gracie and Rattling lately? Hope all is well?

Hello everyone - how are you all?

I've got to go to work on Friday to talk about my request to go back part time (I'm due back at work early February). I'm a bit nervous about it. Fingers crossed they approve my request and everything crossed that it won't be too much longer before I'm on maternity leave again.

We've got someone coming to view the house on Friday night. Whilst it's great to have a viewing, I'm not getting too excited about it. They're looking at loads of houses in a huge price bracket of which we're nearer the bottom than the top, so I imagine that they'll end up going for something much bigger than our house if that's what they can afford. I've had a look on Rightmove and there is a big difference between our house and the houses for sale at the upper end of their price bracket. Oh well - it's a viewing, I suppose.

whoops - got my temp the wrong way round - that should be 36.19

Haha. FP - Good job you said, at CD7 we would have thought you were ill
Good luck with your meeting at work, I am sure they will accept your request at part time work. And fingers crossed that the viewers fall in love with your house. They wouldn't bother coming if they could easily spend more money. I know when we were looking we end up buying the cheaper of 2 as it was actually better and had more potential - so don't rule yourself out just yet.

YES just when you thought that mad woman from the south coast had disappeared... SHE' BACK and I missed all the exciting news of Gracie's BFP and not forgetting Excitable as well (it was a very short visit to us which is just what we want!!) So HUGE congratulations to you both. Gracie I am sure you must be very nervous after last time, but fingers crossed for smooth sailing.

Also so lovely to have Ready back on line. I agree that the reflexoligist should offer confidentiality. I'd go for it, especially if it is cut price!

Finally a big hello to the new comers.

Rah good luck for scan. We are scanning next cycle(which for those of you that are new means they use and ultrasound probe to check what your ovaries are doing and can see the follicles growing or if later in your cycle they can tell if you really ovulated)

Sorry I have been so quiet, we have had a month off trying - still we called off all of DH's troops in the steam rooms in Bath before Christmas!!! Apparently they take 11 weeks to mature!

Had to have another blood test today as it is CD21 and we have never got a clear progesterone reading, because of my silly short LP and day 21 falling on a weekend.

I have been soo busy as the launch of new business is tomorrow. Exciting and nervous.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - and didn't we have a bumper load of BFPS last May, shouldn't they be about to hatch????

Don't ask me WHERE i copied those figures from!! whoops

OMG I have just read back my post and it sounds like we were doing something very naughty in the steam room. I should have typed "killed off DH's troops" .

Must be a Freudian slip caused by lack of activity!!!

Morning girls - very exciting i got a PEAK reading today.... and managed to bd this morning before dh left for a couple of days - he said he would try to get back tomorrow night but otherwise Thursday night - oh well managed a few over the right time I think!! and never had peak before!!!

Hi Nappy you sound crazily busy - good luck with the scanning and happy new year to you !! Happy 2008..

Will write more later got to head out quickly....

Well done minxi I know trying to get you and egg and your DH in the right place at the right time is a bit of a challenge!!!

Who knows now all you need to do is leave some bamboo somewhere handy!!

launch of new business went well, but left me afterwards feeling really depressed and I eat takeaway pizza for lunch and diet coke!! then in the evening I was crying my eyes out at the telly (much to DH's amusement ) and then I hardly slept - waking at 2.30 thru to at least 5.30 just tossing and turning. These are all classic signs that my hormones are having a major argument!!! Think acupuncture might be the way forward to sort out my cycle as I feel very unsettled.

Then again maybe it is stress or a simple delayed reaction to having a blood test and friend giving birth. I might be suppressing all my subfertility angst (love that word)

Rah am thinking of you and Isabella.

Hello ladies, mind if I join? TTC #2 and have been trying for a long time (over a year). Conceived 3 times but lost them. Now that ds sleeps better I am attempting temping. Any pointers gratefully received. I have an underactive thyroid so my temps are generally low (usually about 35.8). Do you take yours every day or only every day leading up to ovulation?

Sorry - didn't mean to offend anyone. I can see that some of you have been trying for longer

Hello all...
welcome ladylush - temp taken daily...
Nappy...sorry to hear your feeling it - glad launch went well and try to relax...!!

Rah - how did it go....

Ready - hello to you too...

Another peak for me today and dh home tonight now so not doing too bad this month - for a change!

Hi can I join you - I'm temping again while TTC #2. DS is 2 now and a complete whirlwind but I'd love another!

Also did temping while TTC DS1 - I feel for you guys on cycle 17/18/19... it takes a lot of dedication to keep going - hope it goes well in 2008. I was fortunate that it only took 3 cycles last time but think it'll take longer this time as I am close to 35 and family history of infertility (Mum) and I had/have many of the same symptoms.

Anyway CD9 today on cycle 1, not expecting anything to happen for a few months but you can always hope!
Temp was 97.3 today - sorry I'm charting in degrees F!

Howdy everyone and welcome to Freddiesyummymummy and ladylush. I've updated the stats list (I've shortened Freddiesyummymummy to FYM - hope that's ok) but haven't put anything in for you ladylush as you didn't mention where you are at tmep & cycle wise today.

Ladylush - I temp every morning. I find it helpful to have an overall pattern for each cycle, especially as my ovulation date is all over the place and changes with every cycle!

Thought I would fill in ttc#1

Rah - Where are you flower? Hope your broadband is working?

Minxi - I am soo chuffed that you got a peak reading on your monitor! Woo, and DH home again tonight after ANOTHER peak - good feeling!!! Did you call the reflexologist by the way?

FP - How are you doing? Are you all set for Friday, prepared for your meeting?

Nappy - You didn't happen to watch ChickenRun on C4 did you? I was sobbing my eyes out. Sorry to hear that you feel low and so unsettled Sending big hugs, and wishing you all the best with the new venture.

Welcome to the thread FYM Yep, 17 cycles is dedication to the cause. It has to happen eventually, doesn't it??? - Don't worry about temping in fahrenheit

Ladylush welcome to you too. You didn't offend anyone (well certainly not me) by posting. There is no limit to the amount of time trying, we are all in the same boat Have you been offered help with your underactive thyroid? Only the thyroid is an important factor in ttc, as far as I know. So worth looking into if you already know it is an issue?

Sorry if I have missed anyone out. It's lovely that the thread has picked up a little.

FYM is fine - I may shorten the name anyway!
LP is 13 (from last time....)

Hello Erm I think I am on CD1 (I say think cos I have been getting weird bleeding since on Thyroxine which I started taking 5 weeks ago)and this will be the second period in 4 weeks It is my first cycle temping and 5th ttc since the last m/c.

Hi Ready, yes I know hypothyroidism can cause fertility problems. Mine is subclinical but I am hoping that the treatment will boost my chances at conceiving and sustaining a pregnancy.

Ladylush - 5th cycle, cd1, 35.9
