I'm a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding in Hawaii so I need to be able to fly. If we were just going as guests I wouldn't really care but she is one of my best friends, was a wonderful bridesmaid to me and she's Kiwi and will be heading home shortly after the wedding so it feels like too big of a thing to miss just because I'm being impatient.

I'm more than happy to send you my baby thoughts!

I have PLENTY to go around. I also have early testing cravings/obsessions if anyone wants more of those!

twinklingfairy · 24/01/2008 20:04

Oh, imagine falling off one of those things at the gym No I was just at home only DD saw me fall!

MrsEi25 · 24/01/2008 20:12

Well I'm not going to hawaii till Oct and I'll probably be a big fat round balloon lady by then so you won't feel of me sweating in the heat!

but then again if you get my baby wishes you might be pushing by then! xoxo

MrsEi25 · 24/01/2008 20:41

BB2B well thats ok then still a bit tho as that was my dream honeymoon destination and i got tenerife so not quite the same...still nice though i am using all my positive energy to focus on the BFP this month and i have upped the efforts in BD-land so i will have no excuse this month for not gettin a BFP... can you hear me chanting i did BD last night and it was a full moon so hopefully it will have worked ond i will get my BFP or a werewolf it would be my luck that...

I've done my bit I've spent 45 minutes on the treadmill.

CD11 for me and got another sign that I am due to OV on Persona this morning, I thought I was only supposed to get that on one day but hey ho I got it two days so we will just keep bd'ing in the hope we catch the egg. Mind you DH isn't in a good mood tonight so I may have to butter him up with a massage to get him in the mood.

MrsEi25 · 24/01/2008 21:26

hi MTW how are you?? 45mins!! i cant even be bothered to walk to the kitchen to make a cuppa most of the time you put me and my lazy arse to shame

twinklingfairy · 24/01/2008 22:01

LOL at your preperations MTW
The things we do.
Mind you I norm don't, if I did it tends to mean that it will defo not happen until all the work is undone
Sods law!!

MrsEi25 · 24/01/2008 22:05

mmmmmm yummy skinny cows are really yummy...it kind of defeats the object of the lower calories though when you get carried away and eat the lot (well i do anyway) half the calories mean you can eat twice as much...or so says the fat fighters in little britain anyway...

morning all! i've been really silly and tested. shouldn't have bothered - bfn. i'm only 8dpo so i shouldn't have wasted the test (it was a clearblue one as well; the ebay ones haven't even been posted yet) that'll teach me. i'm going to leave for at least another 4 days before i test again (if i even need to)

JollyBear · 25/01/2008 10:59

Morning

FL I'd do a test before your scan just in case and also tell the sonographer (sp?) that you are TTC. As someone else said, these scans are done in v early preg sometimes so if they do find a bean (fingers crossed!) it shouldn't disturb it. Hope it goes well and isn't too uncomfortable.

FP Sorry to hear of your BFN. 8DPO is v early to test though, it may even be unheard of to get a BFP on 8DPO!! Hope it is good news when you test again in a few days

I'm a big fan of the limited edition chocolate cookies Hagean Das. Oh my it's good!

My temp went down yest, I had some EWCM and rose quite a lot today - so I'm hoping I ov yest. I've thought this before though!

[waves frantically to everyone!!]

mibbes · 25/01/2008 11:47

FP sorry BFN but you were definitely too quick off the mark with the HPT ! Hope the ebay cheapies come soon
HCB JollyBear, sounds like promising ov signs for you, how are you finding FF ? My temp was 36.3 today so seems normal for CD3. am quite excited having FF to take away the boredom of early cycle days - I'm sure I'll get bored soon though !

glastochick · 25/01/2008 12:08

FP, sorry about your BFN. I've been sorely tempted to test. I'm just getting so impatient. I've been having odd twinges that feel like mild AF symptoms, but according to my cycles AF isn't due until the 30th. Am 6DPO today and was thinking about testing at the weekend with my ebay cheapies, but I'm also too scared [wimp emoticon].

Fertility friend assumed I should OV on CD13 based on my cycle length, and forecasted AF on the 30th, as I did, but as soon as I put in my positive on my OPK as CD16 it decided I OV'd on CD17 and AF would not be due until the 3rd! I know that's not right for me with 27 day cycles.

Still, not long to go until I will know one way or another. Just need to stop worrying my luteal phase isn't long enough

Breathe, Glasto, breathe!

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 12:11

hi ladies

FP it does sound like you have tested a bit early and also there is only somethin like a 50% chance of the result being accurate 4 days before AF is due so it would be alot lower when you are 8DPO i would give it a few days and then test again then
how is everyone today?? i took DD to a mum and toddler group this mornin and it was really good DD was over the moon playin with the other kids
hope everyone else is ok
just a quick question for you lovely ladies... i had a pinching/stabbing kind of pain for about 5 mins last night. it was quite low down and to the right. i was jus thinkin could this be Ov?? i have had EWCM for a few days and nothing today... i have been tryin to pay more attention to my cycle so what dya think??...

Hi MrsEi - could well be the egg popping out as some ladies can actually feel it, if CM has dried up then that is a sign that is has definitely happened

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 13:24

thanks mibbes i wasnt sure as i have never noticed this symptom before this is the first month where i have CM-watched and i seem to be noticing things more now i think how are you??
xx ei xx

OP posts:
JollyBear · 25/01/2008 14:05

mrsei25 I'd keep BD'ing for a few more days just in case your EWCM is hiding! If I had not been temping and just going on my CM I would have swore I'd have ov about three times this cycle . Jump on your DH/DP once more Your DD sounds v cute and sociable!

mibbes HCB! I agree, you do feel you are doing something when temping. You will have a good idea of what your after ov temps were be from your last cycle which will help you. I do hope my eggs gone! If not my body will surely give up trying soon and give me an AF anyway!

Glasto If you hold out whilst Monday then you'd be 10DPO which is still v early to test mrse125 quoted the stats before. You might get a BFN and be crushingly disappointed but then get a BFP a few days later . It is really hard not to test though.

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 14:48

hi JB DH is insisting on making sure we have BDed enough this cycle as we were a bit lazy last cycle although we BD at the suspected 'right' time we didnt do any extras around then to make doubly sure we could catch the egg iyswim he is keeping tabs and reminding me that it is THE night every other night!! at least he is taking an interest...he thought i was goin a bit far by buying a load of ebay cheapies but i just think that it makes perfect sense to spend £6 instead of £40 or so as i have been doin
