hi ladies!

FP only 5% of pregnant ladies get a BFP on 8dpo...pretend it never happened

MrsEi sounds like ov-pain to me. some women can get it a day or two before ov though, so keep bd'ing!

Fruitloop having just had a little scare myself, doc sent me off for another scan this morning. The sonographer couldn't see much from an external (heart-stopping moment) so she did an internal - which is what you'll be having...and they got a much clearer view of the little bean (thank god!). Was a lot less uncomfortable than a smear test, so don't worry. Weird thing is, they put a condom on it and then blob loads of KY on it. If there's anything to see, they will see it, if you have the willpower you could always save yourself the cost of a test and just wait to see what happens on Monday.

Bucky not to worry about last week . be lovely to catch up next month though!

Right, am signing off for now...hope to see some BFPs when I get back!

DG

Bucky2008 · 25/01/2008 15:29

Bye dg have a fab time. Relax and take it easy.

Hugs, Bucky x

mibbes · 25/01/2008 15:41

Hi MrsEi am very well - trying not to obsess too much as I fear that is what delayed ov last cycle. Just taking temps and playing with FF ! Only CD3 so a bit boring.
DG good to hear digibean is doing well, have a great trip !
JB is it sad that am looking forward to TEW leaving so can start inputting CM info into FF too ? oh dear this ttc business has made me take leave of my senses ! I used to be party-girl, now I'm a right saddo
Hi Bucky how are you missus ? drinking gallons of water I hope
glasto I agree with JB, wait as long as you can before testing as BFN is just such a bummer. I can relate to your impatience though

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 16:14

mibbes it is not at all sad

bucky How are you?!

We're away visiting friends this weekend any ideas on how I can muffle my thermometer so our friends can't hear it?! Have a good weekend all!

Just popping in to say thanks for all of the reassurances, ladies - 8DPO is obviously way too early to test. What was I thinking?! I used a perfectly good Clearblue test instead of waiting for my cheapies. What a dummy!

MrsEi25 - your DD is just gorgeous! Like a little cherub! I love, love, love her hair. I want a little girl now........

FurtivelyPosting · 25/01/2008 18:51

I've just had to upload some pics of DS now...

BabyBump2B · 25/01/2008 19:01

Hi ladies!

Wow - so many gorgeous dcs here!!!

mrsEI - what adorable cheeks your DD has! And I think it sounds like ov pains - I got them the first month off the pill but so far not again...

Pistachio - I love your dd's hair colour (this coming from a fake redhead!) and such beautiful eyes.

FP - your ds's smile is so lovely! Naughty you for testing so early! Early tests just lead to heart ache IMO.

Very jealous of all the beautiful offspring!

DG - very relieved to hear all is well. Now go relax and read all those baby books! Have a great holiday!

I'm heading off into the snowy mountains for the weekend with 2 other couples - 1 with a gorgeous 2 month old girl and another who's 4 months pg so will be bringing all those baby vibes back to distribute on Monday

abbymeg · 25/01/2008 19:57

Hello all

I went to the doctors regarding evil clotting and weird periods. I've already had lots of tests, so they're sending me for an ultrasound.

However.. I'm having to take DD to hospital. She's having social problems, along with bizarre habitual ticks. She's been referred. She is potentially on the autistic spectrum. This has ground my baby-making plans to an abrupt halt. I'm quite stressed with everything at the moment, and this week has made me question whether this is the right time for me to bring another life into my disorganised existence.

I'm thinking of stopping plans to conceive until both DD and I have seen respective consultants, and I know better where I stand.

It's a bloody hard decision to make, as I want a baby.

But. Needs must.

So, I am wishing you all tonnes of baby dust and luck, and I will hopefully be back to see you all (on the pg forum, where of course you will be) in several months.

Lots of love

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 19:58

hi
pistachio your DD is GORGEOUS!!!
FP your DS is going to be breaking hearts when he is older..very cheeky smile
BB2B have a lovely time in the snowy mountains and make sure you get a hold of the baby as apparrantly it helps with conception to hold a new baby i know you have top wait but i dont know anyone with a new baby so you can send us the new baby smell for us to sniff

oh abbey sorry to hear about your and DDs problems. its good that the doc has referred you for a scan to find out what is goin on though FWIW a friend of mine had similar concerns about her DS and when he was referred they said he had mild OCD tendencies and that he might grow out of this in time i hope it is not anything too serious and you are all ok xx {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Evening everyone...

Joining Weightwatchers seems to have done the trick. I tested earlier this evening and got an immediate strong BFP

Am totally stunned as I thought it was my body playing tricks again...

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 20:31

missusH HHHUUUUUUGGGEEE *CONGRATS to you on your BFP!!!

MissusH · 25/01/2008 20:50

Thanks Ei

According to those due date calender thingys my due date will be sept 26th so plenty of time between dds b'day in may and mrsbean's!

I'm still gobsmacked as I had a 35 day cycle last month so thought it would be more of the same as the days rolled on...

Here's to a super sticky one [raises a glass of non-alcoholic fizz in a toast emoticon]

BabyBump2B · 25/01/2008 21:01

missusH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY!!!!!!! This is my first BFP since I joined so i'm extra-excited for you!!!!

Is there a hug smiley?

Yippee!

Abbey - I'm so sorry to hear about your dd! I'm crossing my fingers for you that both referrals are helpful and all is resolved!

Wow MissusH Congratulations! I'm wishing I hadn't failed after just 10 days on my diet!!

I've been looking at the new Pics of your DC EI & FP they are cute cute cute.

Abbey Old cycle buddy to hear of you and your daughters possible problems, I wish you all the very best and hope in time everything works out just fine for you.

Pistachio My DD has a cold too, I was up 3 times in the night and up proper at 6.50am so I know what you mean.

JB Those thermometers are so noisey first thing in the morning! I always worry about waking DH with thermometer and then spending ages in the loo doing my FMU and monitor stuff when he is has been woken by me and trying to get ready for work!

DG I've probably missed you but wanted to say have a fab holiday. Really glad to hear you have had your mind put at rest with a lovely scan now you really can relax.

Hi Bucky how you doing cycle buddy? Any signs of an egg for you yet?

Hi Mibbes & Glastochick & anyone else I may have missed.

Now about me.......I'm confused.....again!
I've input all the info re temps, CM, OPK's etc into FF today and they reckon I OV CD9 and that is the only day this week we did not BD!!!!!! However my Persona reckons CD10/CD11. So I'm hoping some little swimmers survived or I OV late and we caught it. Still there's not much I can do now except have one last shot at it tonight and keep our fingers crossed.

twinklingfairy · 25/01/2008 21:48

Oh dear, I think I am ov'ing today.
Pains in my tum, on the left. Feels just like ov pains I have had before. And I checked my ecrvix which seems quite high. Also, my temp has dropped.
Haven't done any BDing yet hope we are not too late!!

Wow missusH what fab news!!

mibbes · 25/01/2008 22:23

Fairy get to it lady !
MTW You can concieve by bd'ing every 2 days so I'm sure you've given it a great shot
abbey sorry to hear you're having problems and may have to take a break ttc
Pistachio, MrsEi and FP what gorgeous Dc's, you're all so lucky !
BB2B have a lovley holiday !
HCB JB I am also away this weekend so will be having a loud coughing fit as soon as the beeps start
and last but most certainly not least CONGRATULATIONS MISSUSH I'm off to weight watchers with MrsEi !!

Bucky2008 · 25/01/2008 22:34

MissusH hooray.... Its fantastic when anyone gets a BFP, but I have a special soft spot for all of us 'oldies' that have been here a while. Good luck to you, may it be a sticky healthy and happy experience for you. xx

07MTW Hey there cycle buddy, no signs of egg yet here, will break out the OPKs tomorrow but don't think Mr will arrive till Sunday or Monday!

Abbey Don't go again!!! Oh, I guess if you need to then you must, but I will miss my old cycle buddy loads again. Who's ankles will I hold on to????

Fingers crossed for you fairy get down to it now, you just can't tell in this game when the time is right...

Hi Jollybear all is well in camp Bucky. Had quite a chilled day at work and am practising for the hatching of the egg this weekend . How's things with you?

Mibbes I am substituting the water with gin at the moment...not good . The reflexologist is checking up on me too bless her...she was a sweetie, and wants to see me after school next week...Not sure. It was nice, but I am torn between...'what will be will be, let nature take its course' and 'oh my god, I have to live like a nun immediately and detox and cast out all the poisons of day to day life like tap water with evil contraceptive pill hormones in it, out from my temple of a body'. My mum has given me these things that you stick on the soles of your feet when you go to bed and all your toxins are supposed to be drawn out. If they are black in the morning I will book in with the reflexologist ...nice huh.

Hi to everyone else. Gryffingirl and PicknMix where are you???

FurtivelyPosting · 25/01/2008 23:10

Just seen your pic, Pistachio - what an absolute cutie! Going to be a stunner, I reckon!

MissusH wooooohooooo! Congratulations! That's such excellent news and I'm so pleased for you.

Here's to a run of lovely BFPs for us all!

07mumstheword · 26/01/2008 08:15

I'm doing an early morning checkin today!

TF Hope you BD'd last night & you caught the egg!

Bucky Perfect timing for a BD'n weekend, if you do OV Sun/Mon you should catch that egg

Pistachio My post was soooo long last night I cross posted, your DS is cute too.

So, I'm CD13 and all done and dusted Let's hope I have finally caught an egg.

twinklingfairy · 26/01/2008 11:15

I have now decided that is was a false alarm. No EWCM. and cervix was not as high as I first thought, on second expidition(sp?).
Just as well, BD was a complete no go. DH trying to show his manly stamina, ended in nowt
Frustrating and poor DH.

TMI?? Probably

Now I will have to put up to date pics of my DD on Aren't they all just such cuties?!
