Oh Rudy - what a lovely Christmas present - your little one's first steps. So precious. Also hope the non-Af works out well in the end for you.

CD21 here. FF again didn't detect OV although I reckon it might have been around CD14(ish). Who knows?!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's to a fab Christmas and a magical New year, with more and more BFPs all round

cockenzie · 24/12/2004 21:46

hi girls

first a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all.My heart is so much with you all and i want to see lots of bfps here next.i am due tomoro or sunday and praying that af wont come but no illusion, as god doesnt hav nothing to do with it.eheh!!

one question though: i guess if u use persona and u dont ovulate , the monitor would pik it up and not show 'o', would it?

any more testers?

tanya - i am so sory .i read ur post and felt so much for u.i hope it can sort itself out and u trust dh . i hope it doesnt up things for u.but on the contrary.

i thank the skies so much for finding this site and u girls are a tre mendous support in dire straits.

cockenzie · 24/12/2004 21:48

Twiga. Work?? Poor you

hester · 25/12/2004 12:57

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Just popping in for a sec. Have just taken my neice down to the swings, and am now sitting here with a Baileys in my hand. Feeling quite happy today, despite sore throat and sadness at not being pg right now - but christmas is definitely good for me; I love being with my family and all the kids - it's very healing.

Rudy - how wonderful to watch your baby taking first steps. What a great christmas present! let's hope you get another - a BFP.

cockenzie - yes, I think if you are getting O on your persona and two stripes on your sticks, you can be reasonably confident you are ovulating.

jeddah, jingle, tania, hula, everyone else - much love to you today.

See you soon!

Twiga · 25/12/2004 14:56

Just got back from work, tested as soon as I got through the door - BFP ! Am stunned, didn't dare hope and am feeling happy/scared. Will be staying around here until I get past when I mc last time.

soapboxingday · 25/12/2004 15:25

Best wishes for a stress free pregnancy

CD40 here and still counting - another BFN this morning

Sorry about AF for you cockenzie but a new year and a new start to ttc for us all is on the way! (Well, except for Twiga !)

cockenzie · 25/12/2004 19:21

can u still ovulate while breastfeeding?
i am trying to buy persona on ebay.however, if i dont ovulate,will it still work for me?

cockenzie · 25/12/2004 19:22

then again,if i didnt ovulate,i wouldnt get my periods would i?

marinda · 25/12/2004 22:01

Hiya cocenzie - big hugs- what a p** off with AFarriving. Iam sure you are ovulating- but could you get a OPK and test it. The chemist Numark do one for £% for 5 sticks - just a thought. How long have you been trying ? How old are you other kid(S)?

Tania2 · 25/12/2004 22:33

Good morning everyone had a great xmas day yesterday ds got spoilt rotten just need to find spots for all his toys now. got a beautiful jewlery box from dh and ds.
Rudy what a xmas pressie first steps are just priceless. sorry about the bfn but there is still hope.
TWIGA WOW CONGRATULATIONS THE BEST XMAS EVER SO CHUFFED FOR YOU
Marinda sorry you day has been stressed hope it improved.
Cockenzie sorry about AF.
Hope you all had a great xmas and may the new year bring us plenty of BFP.

Canadianmom · 25/12/2004 23:31

Yeah Twiga! I am so pleased for you! We are all here to help you through the next 36 weeks and beyond.

AF arrived with a vengeance yesterday. Figures! Oh well, at least I know where I stand in that regard now.

Merry Christmas to all.

jingleballs · 26/12/2004 09:27

mornin all, hope you all had a good day. and santa brough u all what u wanted

Congrats Twiga try to relax, I know it's hard hon, but we're all here for you, and can support you as well as ur DH/P.

Rudy - Congrats on your little boys steps, u must be briming with the pride.

Cockenzie - (((((((hugs)))))))) sorry about that hon, AF, how long have u been tryin for? hopefully we'll have a better month next cycle. That is an on going idea i've been havin, (can u have AF but OV/not) I only say that cos the past 7/8 cycles (can't remeber now) i've not had the smiley face on Clear blue, but thought i had the two line pos. then one month of Persona and had the 'O' followed by a smiley on clearblue, so I was wondering myself. (might explain a few things) the pills can take time for your ssytem to be completely normal again.

Does any one know thta question - can u AF without OV? - hester, Jedds any ideas? hope you two r ok. day 3 here, nothin happenin, apart from i'm doing a chrimstas diary for DH! lol, he called me sad when I told him (it's most haunted style!) lol.

RudyDudy · 26/12/2004 09:35

hello all - just had the most splendid lie in and feeling very full of life now. Also (rather bizarrely) more relaxed now that AF has arrived (this morning). I was beginning to think she never would and there was something horribly wrong so actually quite relieved to see her - though obviously disappointed at the same time.

DH has been an angel and is very committed to giving us the best possible opportunity this month (not that it isn't in his interests iykwim ) and I am feeling very positive about the whole thing. So roll on those October babies!!! My DS is an October baby and he is fab! Oh, and so am I! (an October baby that is!!)

We have snow here so off to take DS for his first walk in it!! Will no doubt be v. sad and take pictures of his footprints but it will make me happy.

Lots of love to you all.

jeddah · 26/12/2004 13:18

TWIGA!!!!! so chuffed for you !!!!!

Cockenzie yes you can have af and not ov! sorry about af

Canadian.....sorry about af!

Hester....glad you are having a happy and healing time, i do think of you often!

cd16 for me today and not ov yet.........will be about cd19-20 think it was cd21 last cycle. I keep watching persona.

I am off to my elder sisters tomorrow for 2 day (lives near Wigan) so I hope I will not ov until I get back. I will be there on cd17 and cd18 so I should be ok as I usually get very sore boobs before ov and that hasn't even started yet!...so wish me luck.

Hope all of you are happy and well!

cockenzie · 26/12/2004 17:28

thanks girls for advice. that really makes me think.i have used the ov kit from clearblue and line showed up for horm LH and bedded but nothing happens.i think i am going to see doc and enquire.i am doing everything to get pg but mayb b/feeding suppresses ov (i read somewhere that it does suppress)especially at night.

any more testers?
