Oooh, my first big thread

May I begin by saying I wish you all the bestest of luck!

Ok, shall I attempt to update the list?

Just popping this on my 'threads I'm on' list, fruitloop well done for setting it up and keeping the list going (fwiw it took me ages to figure out what the title typo was!)

anniemac sorry timing seems to be a bugger for you guys, is there no way you could go 'visit' him on the crucial days?

mtw have posted on the symptoms thread, but it really sounds like you're doing the right thing by being positive and productive

JB Boo to the BFN. I hope you get an answer soon cycle buddy.

Well, I have NO symptoms today apart from a headache. I think all the cramping I had was implantation. So it's true what they say, no symptoms can be a symptom

ClairePO · 14/01/2008 11:05

Morning all

Sorry she got you mtw but good luck with temping, I have been temping for 3 full cycles now and it has been very useful.

Welcome Elevld

MissusH · 14/01/2008 11:13

Hi All,

Same as DG - just popping in to get on my "threads I'm on"...

Anyway, I invoked Sods Law at the weekend. I joined Weightwatchers in an effort to offload some of the excess timber that I'm lugging round with me (which will also help me in my mission for dc#2). When I signed the memebership form it said that pregnant women could not join...

Soooo, I am hoping that sods law will apply and I will have to leave WW very soon.....

ClairePO · 14/01/2008 11:23

MissusH that WILL work as I paid for a whole load of meetings up front last summer (you get a discount when you do that) then about two weeks later found out I was pregnant. Join WW to get pregnant. They'd double their membership if that was true!

MissusH · 14/01/2008 11:30

Okay, ClairePO I know what I need to do!!!

(did you get your money back btw??)

glastochick · 14/01/2008 11:36

MrsH I too have joined weightwatchers

Lost 3.25 pounds this week . Am very impressed. Only doing it online too because I can't get to meetings, but online it says you can keep your membership going until you are 12 weeks PG.

Good luck

MissusH · 14/01/2008 11:46

Well done Glasto

I go to a Sat am meeting. It is perfect really cos dd has her swimming lesson at the same place at the same time (I have no excuse not to go!!)

ClairePO · 14/01/2008 11:46

No I didn't even think to ask if I could have the money back. I may have to start going again myself!

glastochick · 14/01/2008 11:51

Thanks MissusH

Really wasn't expecting it. DH is a dear and says I don't need to lose any weight, but am over the maximum weight for my height which is considered healthy. Would like to lose a stone in all.

I remember years ago my Aunt lost quite a lot and as soon as she reached goal she found out she was PG.

mibbes · 14/01/2008 12:12

sorry she got you MTW but it sound slike you are being really positive - it helps if you feek you are doing something (other then bd !) to make it happen or at least understanbd what is going on in there - good work and keep your chin up
JB yes am still thirsy and having achy boobs on and off. Definitely in the late zone now... Kate whne you testing ? Will we be tetsing buddies as well as cycle buddies...? Have decided not to give blood tomorrow so will wait a few more days

MsSparkle · 14/01/2008 12:12

Hi guys, well no AF still. My tummy felt very tight last night and this morning i have had cramps, perhaps she is on her way??

ClairePO · 14/01/2008 14:17

kate2179 · 14/01/2008 15:09

HELLO LADIES! I turn my back for 5 mins and you are already at the bottom of the 3rd page of new thread!! Blimey! Just as well I'm not going on holiday any time soon, would never catch up!

CONGRATULATIONS DG !!! Fantastic news!! As one lady with a long cycle to another, please can I be a pest and ask for your stats? Are your cycles quite long every month or do they vary a lot? And what day do you reckon you ov?

Hello mibbes how you doing? Am feeling quite today - in fact am sat here munching my way through a bag of kettle chips so should really say am feeling quite fat! Temp dropped a bit today. Still above the coverline and it was quite cold in our bedroom and a bit earlier than I normally take it, so not sure how much it means... Only other sympton is irrational anger/depression/cant-be-arsed-ness. Don't know what to do about testing. Am quite tempted to just go and do one right now, even though I know it will be -ve... THIS IS SO CRAP!!!

Will probably see the girl I work with who's due 3 days before I would have been tomorrow. Absolutely dreading it, will be the 1st time I've seen her with a bump. Mind you, she's a skinny witch so maybe it won't show too much

fruitloop79 · 14/01/2008 17:22

Yes Kate I'd quite like to know DG's stats. I have no idea when I Ov or when AF's coming
Maybe DG can give us some sort of idea. (not that any two people are alike anyway, would just be interesting)

OP posts:
fruitloop79 · 14/01/2008 17:28

what you up to sam? I feel really bloated today. I thought drinking loads of water is supposed to get rid of water retention! Since my new health kick I've been drinking 2lts of water a day. Constantly in the loo though.

Can't be pre-mens cos I'm only on CD21 and there's no way AF's coming for at least another couple of weeks.

Can't be pg symptom cos I don't even think I've Ov'd yet and anyway I lost weight while in early stages with DS - was bliss!

Nope I've just got a fat belly for nothing

OP posts:
digitalgirl · 14/01/2008 17:42

certainly kate and Fruitloop

My TTC cycle lengths starting from the cycle before cycle 1 were: 37 days, 41, 50, 45 and this one would have been 36/37 days.

I have a 14-15 day luteal phase.

I think I may have ov'ed around CD25/26 on cycle1 - but being a newbie I thought all the fertile signs (sore nips, EWCM etc) were PG symptoms.

Cycle 2 - 50 days I think I ov'ed on CD35, even though I got a positive OPK on CD21. I had some brown spotting from 11dpo which could have been a CP but got BFNs.

Cycle 3 - 45 days, was doing acupuncture this cycle. I got a positive opk on CD20, but no temp rise and kept getting patches of EWCM all throughout cycle so I think this one was anovulatory.

Cycle 4 - Ov'ed on CD23, clear temp rise, all EWCM stopped BFP on CD33!

What I found important, is to keep BD'ing even though you think you've ov'ed until you've had at least 5 days of no EWCM. Because I definitely had a 'false' ov day on CD21, the next day I was dry so thought we'd done our best. I only came across more EWCM (a lot more) when checking my cervix position on CD22. It was really high, open and there was loads of EWCM. BD'ed that night and the next morning (much to my surprise!). And that was that!

I've read posts on these boards where women who've been diagnosed with severe PCOS and have told they will not be able to conceive without assistance have gone on to conceive naturally within a couple of months. I really think it's all about believing in your body. You may be having a bad cycle now (and god, the tears I've shed during my low points...), but the next one has just as much chance of being a good egg-hatching one.

LobstersLass · 14/01/2008 18:41

Welcome Eleveld, I'm on my first go at conceiving our first too - and believe me I'm just as obsessive as you!

mumstheword, sorry to hear your rubbish news. I'm so impressed with your attitude.

mylittleeloise · 14/01/2008 18:52

hi ladies i have dared to venture back into the world of ttc after my mc in end of nov, midway through cycle 2 post mc ( 28 days to be exact) and i havent a clue when af due so darent test afraid at what i will see.

LittleSquirt · 14/01/2008 19:15

Hi everyone!

Blimey, I leave for the weekend and there are 3 BFPs by the time I get back! Good work everyone and congrats!!!

Well, back to the top for me (CD3 today - hello Mrsei and Neveronamonday my new cycle buddies!!!) but I knew I would be this month as I am in between two ops for Asherman's Syndrome and was fitted with the coil early Dec so I knew this wouldn't be our month. My next op is next Monday (21st) and the coil will be removed then. If my uterus healed well after my last op, then we'll be TTC again. Fingers crossed all is well, we just don't know yet

fruitloop79 · 14/01/2008 19:41

look at that grad list! it's almost as long as the waiting list

This is a very good thread

mylittleeloise welcome back and the best of luck to you

Bloody hell, I feel like I'm getting AF symptoms, Achey back, a bit bloated, a little snappy (although DP did deserve it this morning )
Surely I can't be expecting AF already! Day21! Nah! I must be imagining it.

OP posts:
07mumstheword · 14/01/2008 19:59

Evening all. It takes so long to catch up in here.

Mylittleeloise Lovely to see you back and hope you don't have to wait too long for a sticky BFP.

Well I collected the Clearblue Fertility monitor and it turned out to be a Persona Monitor! I went back to Boots and they were happy to exchange my CB sticks for Persona ones thank God or that would have been another £20 down the drain! It looks very complicated but will set it up ready

Lobsterlass Fruitloop Claire mibbes and anyone else I've missed, thank you so much for your kind words and support. It really helps me to stay positive.

mibbes · 14/01/2008 20:20

Good stuff MTW get all your weaponry ready to take on the next cycle This time you will beat AF !
Welcome back littlesquirt, all the best to you.
Fruitloop are you opking/charting to try and see what is happening in there or just bd'ing loads in the hope you get lucky ? Hope this is a less epic cycle for you.
DG good to see you are still hanging around and helping the ladies in their quest
Hi Kate sorry you are feeling . Any twinges atall..? I am definitely waiting as dp too scared to test. still no AF or any signs. Just fell asleep on the sofa so am clearly tired, also still thirsty and achy boobs sometimes.

kate2179 · 14/01/2008 20:25

Hello ladies...ummm.... you know what you were just saying fruitloop about this being a very lucky thread ...

Not saying anything . Can't cos I haven't even told DH yet!

Am quite with myself for even testing only 11 DPO, though mostly just terrified!!!!

kate2179 · 14/01/2008 20:27

mibbes that means you have to test too!

07mumstheword · 14/01/2008 20:31

I can't stand the suspense, who's tested and who hasn't
