Oooo, [slightly paranoid face] just realised I sounded awfully flippant about your work that you lost JB - apologies! Am just a serial loser of work myself so am the worlds best at pressing save save save throughout!! (The one thing I do forget to do now is to back up work which bit me on the bum the other day when my rabbit chewed through my laptop cable and shorted my laptop - luckily have a very techy husband so didn't have to try and explain it to my IT dept!!)

Morning all,

How dare you P&M!! ... I finished reloading at the stuff I did yesterday, phew! I will be saving like mad for now on!

P&M You sound v chirpy! Do you know how many dpo you are?

MOB I agree with mibbes and hope DH is right. Hope you don't feel too ill though.

bucky Hope that it was just too early to test. No pre-af symptoms is a good sign along with the headaches.

ei Hope you feel a bit brighter today.

tinker Any sign of ov for you yet?

Well FF has put dotted ov lines in my chart indicating that they think I've ov but they are not sure. I'm sure I haven't ov though, as I've had lots of EWCM after their suggested ov date. I shall ignore FF and carry on bd'ing!! I wish the egg would get a move on though!

Hello to everyone else and fingers crossed for P&M, MOB and bucky.

HI PicknMix, I am very weel thanks, have bloods this morning to check am ok after contact with chiceknpox nieces. Headache is definitely a good sign ! I had a headache 2 days running quite soon after ov this cycle (which is unusual for me)

Mibbes maybe the moon was like in a weird cycle or something....that is exactly what I had . I never get headaches.

Oh and glad you are a weel . What kind of weel are you. A car weel or cart weel perhaps LOL...sorry just messing

I'm assuming the blood test came back ok Mibbes?

JB I am.....not very sure how many dpo I am as I didn't bother temping again this month as thought that my DH would be away at optimum time.

However.

We 'did the deed' every other night before he went away (think he was glad to be given a respite ) and I had ewcm 2 days before he left so have, even though I promised myself I wouldn't, got my hopes up as we still may be in with a chance. Although this would mean another short cycle for me (am predicting af on this Sunday as lp is usually 16 days) and that in itself is unusual.

Anybody following my ramblings??! Cos I'm not sure I am!!

(Bucky I'm thinking Mibbes is prob a weel on the bus [goes round and round] if she's just spent time with her nieces - assuming they are young of course!!)

PicknMix at the weels on the bus....however, I owe Mibbes an apology for calling her a wheel when in fact

Weel =

Weel \Weel, n. A whirlpool. [Obs.]
Weel \Weel, Weely \Weel"y, a wicker basket to catch eels; prob. akin to willow, and so called as made of willow twigs. A kind of trap or snare for fish, made of twigs. [Obs.]
--Carew.

and actually, as Mibbesy is a Scot, she was in fact grammatically correct...

Weel \Weel, a. & adv. = Well. [Obs. or Scot.]

Who knew? .

....Mibbes was in fact a wicker basket for catching eels....

hi ladies
m hope that bloods come back ok (eel in a basket) lol
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i hate eels ewwwwwwwww andt he thought of eating one especially if it was electric
eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwouchhhhhhhhhhhewwwwwwwwwwwwwouccccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhlol[g rin]
bucky lol @ cart wheel or car wheel good luck
pnm you have been bding plenty so good luck for you fingers crossed
jb have noticed a small amount of cm white otherwise dry at the mo bring on ewcm

P&M EWCM two days before DH left is very good! Fingers crossed? Are you a tester or a waiter?

LOL at mibbes the eel catcher!

tinker When I first started ttc I was on the look out for EWCM because I'd read of its importance on these threads (thank you ladies) but only got a teeny bit. However these last two cycles I have had loads! The only thing I've done differently is to chart (so maybe I am more aware ) and replace tea and coffee with green tea. I don't know if it is the lack of caffine or the green tea that might be having an affect though!

Bucky I always wondered why Mibbes made a sort of 'rustling' sound - must have been the willow in the wind (has this gone on too far yet?!)

JB I'm a 'twaiter' in that I test far too early and then I get despondent after the inevitable bfn and wait it out til af arrives ! (I have already tested - yesterday, roughly 10dpo - and will now wait until Sunday and see what happens!)

GAH - SOOOO messed my joke up there - should have written 'wind in the willows' not the other way round......

Deffo symptom of pregnancy - total lack of ability to proof read this morning!!!

So sorry to hear your news scary :-(
Day 51 for me now and still symptomless. I had a mad dream that i was doing a pregnancy test last night and got two pink lines which i thought was negative but then read the instructions and realised it was positive. But instead of being pleased i was gutted because i didn't know who the father was!! Any thoughts?
I haven't tested for just over a week, no point. Sorry to those that got their bfns.

Everyone's gone mad this morning!!!

Well, catching up with the thread has cheered me up this morning.

For the benefit of mibbes & JB "It's a VIRUS"!! DH has been at it again - rang up earlier and yet again it was the "well, you could be pregnant..." I don't want to dash his hopes completely but surely fever and stomach cramps (v much at the top of the stomach, not low down) IS a virus???

EI hope you are feeling a little more positive today.

PnM you are sounding very perky .... definitely a symptom!! I know you are worried that you didn't BD at the right time, but don't forget the swimmers can live for 5 days, or sometimes more, in the right environment. Fingers crossed for you.

Bucky hope you did just test too early. I do so hope it's your month.

JB keep up the baby dancing until everything "dries up"!!!

afternoon ladies
i am feeling alot more positive today thanx for the enquiries my temp has gone way up today compared to normal so maybe im not out of the game altogether yet no sign of AF (im on knickerwatch duties today as i have a nice day off today)
pmsl at the weel debate you ladies really do make me giggle
PnM when are you testing??
MOB are you sure you arent preg?? seriously tho when are you due to test??
JB are you going to wait til sunday to test then??
bucky i am feeling rather positive for you so i hope you get your BFP
shakey wow 51 days is this your cycle after coming off the pill?? (or am i remembering someone else??) i hope you get a BFP when you test next
hope everyone else is ok >
xx ei xx

thanks Ei with your psychic powers that makes me feel better .

I have been analysing my last few cycle lengths:

I have had a :
29
29
27
29
and 24

I am on CD28, so I guess I am not out of the woods yet, although I was sure I ov on CD15/16 and I have an 11 day LP so in theory she should have turned up today? I am a bit confused now too as when I was doing OPKs the was turning up on CD15 so maybe I have my LP wrong? arrrrghhh after all these months I still do not know what is going on!

Sorry for babbling.

Scary I'm so so sorry to hear your news - I wish there was something I could say or do to make it all better - sending you hugs.

GG great news about your doctor being a bit more on the ball (no pun intended). Hope that he can make things happen and great news about your local hospital being so speedy. You can save the money you would have spent on going private and use it for extra babygros instead.

Bucky everything crossed for you - go'on girl! Your cycles actually seem quite regular, I didn't realise they were pretty much the same length monthly - that must be a good sign?

Ei glad you feeling better today

MOB my DH is always the same - convinced I am pregnant every month!

Shakeysgirl fingers xd, your long cycle turns into a BFP.

Picknmix I am a waiter too, can't bear to be disappointed by testing anymore - if I just wait until my period arrives at least I can then fool myself that I hadn't got my hopes up!

Not much news from me but in the true spirit of the thread I have a new symptom - my tummy is so bloated that I've had to change into my tracky trousers the last few days as my normal trousers have been so tight (and I haven't even been eating any extra pies). Am day 19 so seems far too early for it to be a real symptom but I just thought I would share!

Went for acupuncture yesterday which was great. Suprisingly relaxing! Looked hard at the ceiling instead of at any needles sticking out of me but the acupuncturist was very pleased with me and even stuck a needle in my head as I was doing so well - strangest reward for good behaviour I've ever had!

Waving to everyone else, apologies if I've missed you (although I think we all secretly want to be accidentally blanked now as it seems to be a good luck charm!)

Afternoon all,

MOB It may be a virus but you still might be pregnant! Fingers crossed.

bucky what a lovely regular cycle, I'm ! You could always try temping if you want to check that you are ov when you think. Hope you don't need to though .

What an odd dream shakey! Hope your long cycle isn't getting you down too much.

Things are looking good ei! hatty You can be bloated around ov (I hope that is why my tummy is massive today ). Bloating is a preg symptom of course too . You are a brave woman to have needles put in your head!!

Thank you JB I did find myself nervously patting my head as I walked out, just in case she'd left a needle stuck there! Yay, are we ovulation buddies again? Fingers crossed it's a lucky month for us both!

EI - I came off the pill in August.
I think my dream is because i am feeling a little guilty because last night i was thinking how easy it would be to go and have a one night stand and conceive - not that i ever would, its just frustrating that its so difficult and taking so long as i'm sure you all know. Then i felt so crap for even thinking it. I don't want any baby, i want dps baby because i love him and we want a family.
How awful is that :-( :-( :-(

aft/eve ladies
pnm lol @ willow in the wind must be a pregnancy symptom
shskg intersting dream, hope that your cycle isnt 2 long
moldb spk 4yourself mad ahh lol
bucky good luck
hattyy i thought you meant waiter as in waiter in a restaurant lol
i have had bloated tummy for a few days on day 13 today and have lots of wind keeping burping tmi lol
acupuncture sounds interesting i wouldnt be that brave!! what a reward having one in your head
lol patting head when left assuming that you didnt find any rogue needles anywhere lol

Bucky PMSL at 'weel', you cheeky monkey ! My typing is pants OMG just read the Scot bit, see.. I was being all Scottish not rubbish at typing ! I am so hoping you can join me on AN thread soon Bucky . We need your ramblings to liven things up a bit ! 'I didn't get BFP until 15dpo...'
PicknMix the nurse said results will take 2-3 weeks . I'm sure GP said 1-2 days. I'd have thought they would want to know quickly if bean is at risk so that they can act quickly . Ha ha willow in the wind ! Yes my nieces are 2 and 4
hatty neddle in the head is a really crap reward - and you pay money for this ? Seriously though, I really hope it does the trick, it worked a treat for DG

hello girls,
not been lurking so much this week, so have just had to have a TWO page catch up on all the goings on.

scary I'm so so sorry to hear your news. take good care of yourself.

hatty my GP sent me for a day 21 test even though I told her how long my cycles were. I didn't go till day 29 (and I still hadn't ovulated by then). But the gynae set me up for a day21 and then the same test on day28. I didn't get the results in the end as I got a BFP!

gg glad to hear you had a good GP's appointment and hooray for the referral. and more cheers for gryffinboy agreeing to go private. you have been working those feminine wiles overtime!

bucky i still reckon temping for a couple of cycles will give you a better idea of when you're ov'ing. those LH surges you get on OPK's can be all over the shop.

JB I empathise with your lost files. I often save work over previous documents, so although I've got the latest bit of work - I've lost the work i did before...stupid DG. Before leaving my last job, I was cleverly copying all my files onto disk so I could leave a clean computer behind....except no I didn't, I just deleted a big chunk of personal documents without saving them.

All's well here. I get to meet the midwife for the first time next week at my booking-in appointment. Have graduated to maternity trousers and feeling very comfy now. 15+3 tomorrow.

night night
DG

hi all im on day 34 of my 32-34 day cycle and no sign of af im usually crampy,sore boobs,pmsy and so on no signs yet dare i get my hope up again?ive refrained from first response so far

Morning all.. make that afternoon!

How annoying MN being down! Don't they know we all have very important things to say to one another .

amy Sounds v positive! I'd be testing first thing tomorrow if I were you. Good luck.

bucky, MOB, P&M and ei Have any of you tested? Fingers and toes crossed for you.

DG Lovely to see you, glad to hear all is well. Time seems to have flown by!

GG How are things with DH? Is he going to try vitamins?

I think you have beaten me to it with ov hatty!

I've just got a v nearly positive opk (the second line isn't quite as dark). I think my + one last time looked like this and it was right as I ov a day later. I hope I ov tomorrow, I'm exhausted from all the bd'ing .
