xx ei xx

Mibbes How strange. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. At least you BD'd last night perhaps again tonight just incase?

Hi

mibbles I put my details in on Fertility Friend this cycle and it said I was still fertile for the day after the fertile CM went away. You will definitely be in with a shot! Good luck.

I am now on CD38 with no sign of AF. My boobs are sore today so I presume AF may arrive. I am still debating when to do another test (I have had 2 BFNs on CD33 nad CD36)

Basically I am just sat here in limbo.

MTW Unfortunately can't bd again tonight as we are not trying we are just seeing what happens so can't keep demanding sex without dp clicking that am obsessing !
willmouse have you been testing with first wee of the day ? Maybe best to wait until tomorrow and test first thing if still no AF. I had a long wait for AF last cycle - it is soo frustrating, but let's hope yours is delayed for a full 9 months
HCB JollyBear 14dpo today, are you testing ? Are your temps still high ? Hvae everything crossed for you !

willmouse

Sorry abt your BFN, did u use a CB digital? I'm still feelin low, and wondering weather to broach TTC no 3!

Good luck for all the testing this weekend everyone.

07MTW - don't stress about chemical pg's, you got a lovely BFP and this one will be a sticky one

Shock update - I got a call from DH this morning to say that he had been to the hospital this morning for the sperm test . He didn't tell me he was going, i think because he didn't want any "I told you so" or whatever comments. I am going to let this blow over now, he has made the effort to go, even though eh worked a 13 hour day yesterday, so I think he is apologising by actions not words for our argument at the weekend. Feel really light and happy today .

He said it was very funny and there was a queue of very sheepish blokes all standing waiting for the clinic to open at 9am. There were two little rooms and he was third so had to wait for it to become free. He hadn't expected to get free hard core prn (videos and magazines) on the NHS and had taken the precaution of buying his own stash on the way from our local newsagent. Apparently, I shouldn't mind him buying lots of prn because it is for the "greater good". I don't!

I used the first wee of the day for my test on CD33 (Tesco cheapie) and did one half way through the afternoon on CD36 (Predictor).

I am wishing I had bought a better test last time.

mibbes - maybe try and seduce your DH anyway

willmouse - you poor thing. It must be the not knowing. Are you oging to do another test?

I am going to do another test if AF doesn't arrive soon.

I am on CD38 now - I am thinking of waiting until Saturday which would be CD40.

woohoo GG am so pleased for you ! That is excellent progress with DH . Great to 'see' you so happy again !

Morning all,

GG I'm so pleased your DH has been for his test!! You must be so happy today

mibbes great news on opk! Remember you still need to BD for a few more days to make sure

willmouse How frustrating for you. Hope AF stays away and you get a BFP.

FF has put my ov day back 2 days so now I'm only on 12DPO.... so more waiting for me. I had really sore boobs yesterday so I presume AF is gearing up to start. I'm still going to be really disappointed when it arrives though after this epic cycle. Oh well, it isn't over yet. I do like to hold out some hope till the old witch arrives in force!

Hello to everyone else!

Jolly mibbes - I am really delighted . No more Grumpy Gryffin . I think DH was being a typical man about it - stubborn, don't nag me, I will do it - which really upset me. Maybe he had a change of heart when he saw how upset I was or realised he was being unreasonable, but didn't want to look soft or lose his pride by giving in to his DW. Actions speak louder than words and he went to the hospital today, so that is good enough for me.

He gets his results in two to three weeks, which seemed like a long time. I will be on tenterhooks!

p.s. I think DH knew I would tell you all on MN , so he said that if any DH/DP's ever have to give samples, they are not to be scared. It was very easy, the NHS suplies hard core p*rn vids, soft mags and pretty nurses and there are posters to show you how to ...er...produce a sample yourself (should any man alive needing a lesson in that )

GG ha ha PMSL at instructions !!! as if any man doesn't know ! IKWYM about men and the nagging thing - I know if dp suspects I'm obsessing and keep suggesting we bd he'll click that am on a mission and will treat it as a 'nag to get PG ASAP' which is why I can't bd every day I have EWCM - mores the pity. Have to just act 'normal' and see what happens boooo

GG Instructions??!! What an amusing idea I'm sure whoever had the job to design those laughed his way through his working day!

mibbes Is is difficult not to show obsession!! Maybe you could seduce him first thing tomorrow morning it is the weekend after all. Are you temping in secret then?

WOW! Huge congrats to MTW!! So pleased for you...wishing you all the very best and many sticky vibes.

If you could blow them back my way when you're done with them I'd be very grateful. Got my scan tomorrow, where we'll find out if this pg is still viable. Trying my best not to stress but tummy keeps doing flips everytime I think about it.

gg glad dh went for the test in the end. And pleased that you're not so down anymore, I think you've been absolutely remarkable these past few months - a model of patience and positivity.

Good luck to all those weekend testers!

Digital - how are you? We've been thinking of you. Did you manage to relax on holiday

hi gg, did my best! Not much else to do there but lie on a sunbed or paddle in the water. Started getting nausea towards the second half of the holiday which meant no day trips (windy roads and boat trips were a no no). I'm hoping that's a good sign, but I know symptoms can be a bit unreliable in these circumstances. Lack of full on Internet access meant no googling which was probably a good thing.

We decided to blow our unspent spending money on an upgrade for the flight back, money well spent! Don't think I could have handled 12 hours cramped in economy with extreme travel sickness. With any luck we won't be going on any long haul flights for a couple of years...hearing all those poor babies crying on the plane made me decide against subjecting my lo to a 12 hr plus flight.

Hi DG, great to 'see' you, posted for you in waiting room.
JB DP knows I'm temping - after 45 day cycle and a few BFNs last cycle he knows I just want to undertsnad what is going on and when - he doesn't seem atall perturbed by it. He is unaware of MN activity (although he must know as it is always in the internet recently visited sites) and CM analysis etc... TBH I think he'd rather not know and just continue as normal, his attitude is that if it happens, it happens - I think he is far more nervous about it therefore I don't push the issue as don't want him to chicken out ! I know he'll be over the moon if it does happen, I think he refuses to admit he actually wants it in case it is not that easy (our BFs have been told they can never have LOs after years of trying) Does that make any sense ? at rambling on

Aw, what a happy thread today

GG am sooo thrilled that your DH went to do the sample (and rather amused at what the NHS provides these days - I bet the male staff are keener to volunteer for the p*rn mag run than the coffee run in the morning!)

DG glad you had a lovely holiday

MTW I thought the success rate for pregnancy was much higher than 50%? Sending sticky vibes to you..

Good luck all testing and sending healing vibes to the bad backs...

Am sad at my lack of enthusiasm for symptom spotting this month...I remember when we began this thread back in the summer I spent so many happy hours obsessing and now every boob twinge I have I think "nah, probably not a symptom really"...

Ah well, only a week or so to go until I can test!

Hello everyone it's lovely to see such an upbeat thread and thank you all for your support.

GG Your DH certainly knows how to surprise you. I'm so pleased he's done that. When do you get the results?

DG Been thinking of you a lot and really really hope your scan tomorrow puts your mind at rest so you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy. You will let us know how you get on won't you?

hi ladies
hope everyone is ok today
DG nice to see you hope things go well at your scan tomorrow
GG how good is your DH (finally!!) to go for the test at least you dont have to play incognito sperm stealer
mibbes i think you should be ok grabbing your DH for a quickie BD he will think all his christmases have come at once if hes anythin like my DH that is
willmouse any sign of anythin for you yet??? i would get a test and do it first thing in the mornin? fingers crossed
i am still resisting the urge to test but i am gettin a bit antzy about the 7 tests sat on top of the fridge i WILL resist til saturday/sunday (i do have my pre-AF chocolate craving back with a vangeance this month as it went AWOL last month so i think i am out this month but i am surprisingly relaxed about it so who knows... remind me this when/if AF does arrive[smile)
xx ei xx

Hello

GG how nice of your husband to (ahem) take things in hand. (groan, sorry )

DG nice to see you, and good luck for the scan. I am glad to hear you had a good time.

MTW sending sticky vibes from here too.

Hope all the bad backs are better.

Step away from the tests Ei.

Oh isn't that great news about your DH GG 2-3 weeks seems like an age, but it will pass so quickly.

Frustrated fairy here. FF has not put me down for OV yet?? I am on CD21 FGS! Ok so I do not have a +opk( I ran out) or had any EWCM (I blame the UTI drugs. mrsei? could I be right?) but my temps have risen! and I have ov on CD 17 ofr 4 months in a row!
Do you think the UTI could have stopped ov?
Been having cramps on and off, boobs still twitchy now and again, but not sore, as such.
harumph
Can't do anything about it all anyway cos DH is away on a course for a week. But I think we BD at the right time, so will just have to wait and see.

Pops head back in to say, good luck DG I really really hope that all is ok for you tommorrow.

My DD was fine on a flight to portugal BTW, not a peep. She slept on the way out and got passed between DH, MIL and I on the way back. She was about 11mo. Perhaps 12hrs might have pushed her but 3 or so was fine.

Anyway, I was mid flounce!!

Hey Girls

Welcome back dg . Glad things are looking more positive .

GG . How cool is that??? I never saw that coming! Why do men have to torture us like that? They know we are right all the time, why don't they just do as they are told when they are told hee hee

07MTW I will be 11dpo on Saturday. My LP is 11 days so AF due on Sunday! 9dpo today

Nothing new to report here really. No symptoms that I am aware of. In fact I am starting to get the feeling that I will be out again this month . Anyway, as we are having a happy thread today, won't dwell.
Hope everyone is having a good night.
