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.

I'm on mumsnet - no change there then We're not doing much today - just having a chinese takeaway and my mum is joining us. Wanted ds to be able to celebrate too. Doing the grown up, glam thing on saturday. Going out with dh and four of our friends

ladylush · 17/01/2008 17:41

Thanks for the lovely singing

Don't feel pressured, Ready! We've all got everything that can be crossed very firmly crossed for you. Or we could do some stealth cheerleading instead (might be less noticeable) where we whisper a chant of

"don't feel anxious, don't feel stressed
with our baby vibes, you'll be blessed
Come on Ready, stay good and strong
and you'll soon be vomming all morning long!"

minxi · 17/01/2008 22:26

Ladylush hope you have had a lovely relaxing birthday!

Rah cool to get the slight bfp and hopefully it will be for real soo very soon! maybe it was already and the drugs just added to the bfp too

Ready don't give up - stay positive ..have you been temping at all since you found your thermo? Mind you I am getting to the point of hating temping as its all too true and then depressing to see the numbers you don't want too see ...

Rattling I know we all love the idea of implantation dips but loving and having them are two different things

FP love the poem - can you make them up for all of us Hope you manage sort out dh tonight - quite literally

Nappy Hope you were feeling better today after yesterday....hospitals doctors treatments its all such a pain and they all seem patronising and young(well not the treatments)!! good luck!

looks like i'm probably out of the running this month, ladies. dh point blank refused to get jiggy last night. i even put nice underwear on (which he laughed at). he's going through one of his 'sensitive flower' phases and the only thing i can do is completely back off until he feels less anxious about it all. it's not like i've been pestering him for loads of nookie either - we've done the deed only twice this month, which wouldn't be at all impressive even if we weren't ttc! men, eh? cuh!

FurtivelyPosting · 18/01/2008 08:57

also minxi - that's a nice big rise in temperature there. looking good!

fettleandbabyfettle · 18/01/2008 10:19

Hello everyone!

Just popping by (well I normally silently stalk, but always feel that's a bit creepy!) to send my love, hugs, prayers and support and lay some yummy bamboo out for the panda!

take care all

Agree with fp, that rise is looking good minxi Ready, how long is your cycle usually?

RahRah1 · 18/01/2008 19:32

Hi guys

Hope everyone is well.

Minxi - looking good! Really hope this is it!

FP - men seem to have a common problem, being royal pain in the arses! They seem to want sex when they want, instead of when its needed! MEN!!! why oh why do we have to reply on them for anything!

Ready - big hugs and hope you stay at the end of the list - your deserve it!

Fettle - Howdy - hope you are keeping well.

Lady lush - hope your Chinese was nice and you had a good birthday. Have a fab time tomorrow!

I'm in a foul mood, so will leave you guys alone... I think the old PMT is rearing its head, along with 'how can life be so cruel, added into the mix!

Hi everyone. Hope you all have a nice weekend. Rah, keep your chin up hun. It's not over til the red bitch arrives

Rattling - you are at the business time of the month Sow those seeds girlfriend

Minxi and Ready - got fingers crossed for you

Ready · 19/01/2008 15:45

Afternoon ladies, sorry I have not been on, I have been keeping myself super busy, and popped in to MN yesterday, but couldn?t catch up on all my threads, but here I am.

Still hanging in there, pretty sure that it will be CD1 tomorrow, cramps getting stronger and more often, so I am well warned ? but there is the tiniest part of my brain that keeps saying ?you never know? ? why do I torture myself?

How is everyone?

Rah, don?t you dare leave us alone. Rant your heart out here, that?s what we are here for. I am so sorry that you are feeling pre-menstrual, I hope that the hormones you have been given are what is causing your emotions, and symptoms. Hang in there. Big hugs x

FurtivelyPosting, thank you for my little chant , really made me smile. Sorry to hear that your dh is not giving it up ? is it because he knows it is the ?right? time? If he is experiencing performance anxiety, then perhaps you need to tell him it is the ?right? time a week before it is ??

Minxi, I will stay positive No, didn?t start using the thermometer, didn?t want any reason to confuse myself. I intend to start temping again tomorrow though How was your temp today? Hoping it is high still Any other symptoms of note?

Ladylush, glad you had a relaxing birthday, you?re out tonight as well aren?t you? Painting the town . My cycle is usually 28 days, but then I have had 30 days on the odd occasion, so this isn?t making me excited. I haven?t been temping, so I am not certain when I ovulated. I will be temping from now on! PMSL at ?red bitch?

Rattling, how are you doing? Going for it, mid cycle? How?s your kitten?

Nappy, how?s it going chick? You feeling any more optimistic?, hope so

Fettle, thanks so much for popping in to see us, and those pandas are the cutest, aren?t they

I think we have lost FreddiesYummyMummy??

Right, I am going to eat the rest of my ice cream. I deserve it

hi girls - took temp this morning which is lower than yesterday but 20 minutes before had gulped loads of squash ! Then remembered I needed to temp so I guess its invalid?!

Ready - hope you are ok hun....x

Everyone else hope all is well will catch up tomorrow..ff says to test tomorrow but will not be testing as not hopeful at all...

Ready · 19/01/2008 16:03

Minxi, I admire your resolve at not testing tomorrow. I stupidly asked dh this morning when he thinks I should test - it's like jinxing myself, saying stuff like that isn't it - he said wednesday, but something tells me I won't get that far. Fingers crossed for you though

minxi · 19/01/2008 17:22

Oh Ready thats hopeful then - are you late...or are you due today/tomorrow....

I don't know how I feel anymore - don't feel hopeful at all - although have had dreadful constipation and yet I am eating as much fruit and veg as am doing wheat and dairy free!! No I will not look for signs hopeful or not... to be honest would love to test but just think its a waste of time - have some cheap ebay ones I bought and I just don't want to see one line - I want to see TWO!!! Time will tell! I will let you know if I do test - just for a laugh...

Have just this minute booked to go away during the summer and not back until 30 August - ff said I would be due 30 Sept if I was pg this month but thats how hopeful I am of it not happening this month!!

minxi · 19/01/2008 17:25

Fettle thanks for the support - and the cutest cute pandas...hope all is going well with you and yours....x

Ready · 19/01/2008 17:29

Minxi, can you get a refund if you can't go on your holiday? The constipation sounds very promising doesn't it. I am actually late if it is judged on the normal 28 day cycle, but it's not unheard of for me to have a 30 day cycle. So full expect CD1 tomorrow. I guess I am so used to failing that I can't really get excited going over the 28 days. If that makes sense?

seaside72 · 19/01/2008 23:16

Hi girls - just popping in to say I am thinking of you all and keeping everything crossed - minxi and Ready and Rah can you all please have your bfps this week - hopefully the excitement will kick start labour for me and MrsMc and Iampg. Also I cannot imagine giving birth without another temp bud or three graduating!!

I will try not to bug or jinx you all- but am belly rubbing/praying/hoping for some lovely bfp's soon.

Ready - that's exactly how I was when I got the bfp - not unknown to have 30 day cycle (though rare) so not too excited but I did cave in and test on CD30 as FF said I was due to start AF on CD27.

Like fettle I am dropping off more bamboo for the pandas

Waves and ++++ vibes to everyone
Love
seaside

Well ff said to test today as lp varies between 12 - 14 days.... anyway I didn't. I am sure af is on its way as had an odd watery coloured cm (sorry tmi) sign last night... so am waiting for the red arrival!

Seaside thank you for popping by - hope everything is going well for you and that you have your baby soon and it all goes smoothly!...we will graduate one day just not as quick as some of us would like....

Rah where are you what is going on with you - when can you test ? ordo you have to go back to the hospital....

Knicker Checker Extraordinaire here - at this rate we might run out of toilet roll. Ok, someone tell me that my temp being high is because I sleep with a hot water bottle??? I am torturing myself here . I feel distinctly pre-menstrual, and have done for a couple of days now - so where is CD1? I really wish I had found my thermometer earlier

Sorry ladies, I am going to be no use to anyone today. I just know that I have allowed myself to get my hopes up even though I can feel that my period will arrive. And I know it will end in tears - but I can't reign myself in

Morning all.

Fingers, legs, eyes and anything else that is crossable is being firmly crossed right here for you, Ready Rah and Minxi !!

Ready - have you ever gone as far as CD31 before? I don't want to jinx you or anything but early pregnancy symtpoms can feel like PMS, right down to the cramps. Your high temp is pretty impressive too. How long do you think you will wait until you test?

Nice high temp for you too, Minxi - how long will you wait until testing?

Not much to report here. FF has finally given me my cover line and crosshairs! As I suspected, I ovulated on Thursday so our BD timing was all out (or rather, DH's was). The closest we got to the ovulation date was three days before, so not good. I'm 3DPO now and fully expecting AF to arrive in 10 days time.

minxi · 20/01/2008 11:28

Oh Ready that is sounding very positive - have you got a test to do ??

Furtive you never know - 3 days before is ok too....

Ready · 20/01/2008 11:49

3 days before OV FP can still be good - I know you didn't meet greedy, but her DH went away a few days before OV the cycle she conceived... so it just takes one rambo sperm you never know!

I have got a test, but I am reluctant to dh won't le me test until wednesday. And I'd rather do it with the first wee anyway, right?

Is it really true that you can be pregnant and get strong twinges/cramps?

I have looked over my booklet, I've had a couple of longer than 28 day cycles in the last 17 months. The only thing is my temp usually drops by now, so I am hoping. I just know I am going to look stupid in a couple of days

RahRah1 · 20/01/2008 11:54

Hi guys

Well isn't this torturous! Minxi, Ready and me all waiting for our periods or not!

Well mine is due tomorrow, temp dropped this morning and have been suffering BAD pmt and cramps. Plus one strange symptom of large nipples! lol - Tested but BFN, where I had tested before and got a faint positive, so must of been the HCG injection as previously thought. HCG must of departed and been replaced by pre-menstrual hormones

There must however be at least one of us pregnant! So Minxi/Ready who is going to test first?

Have my fingers crossed that its both of you. XXXXX XXXXX

You might as well test as if you were pregnant you would get positives today!
