Hi All

Thought I start the new thread before we ran out of space on the old one!

Hopefully good old Vita (Zita!!) will sprinkle some babydust on us all...

Welcome back Minxi I have missed you

Lottie, sorry the heavy feeling has descended. Booooooo.

Sorky, gotta say, I know diddly squat about monitors, but is it possible you would still have some pregnancy hormone there, enough to trigger something in the monitor??

Morning everyone else... I am off for my reflexology appointment shortly... not really sure how to say that I could be pregnant, without saying that we are actively seeking a pregnancy

HiReady, hmm I don't think so. The monitor only measures the rise of oestrogen in your urine prior to a surge in LH, same as a fertility monitor. It doesn't detect hcg.

I have to presume I'm perhaps going to O earlier this month. I am having some cramps but stopped bleeding, so maybe it's my body readying for O. Seems bizarrely early!

Better start temping then, I don't normally bother until a few days from now.

Has anyone had a chemical pregnancy? Is the bleeding any different? I seem to have a couple of days of medium flow, then just spotting, few clots either. This morning after wiping I had a little bit of pink tinged ewcm, just a streak running through it.

Perhaps everything is just a bit odd.

sorkycake · 14/04/2008 12:28

Tink I don't think it looks like you've O'd yet. Are you taking your temp consistently (orally/vaginally?)

When do you usually O?

Temp dropped below level that always means AF tomorrow - though it did on Saturday too, and yesterday was back up. No symptoms either way.

Ready - pleased to see you ovulated eventually, just think how chunky that uterine lining will be by the time implantation happens

Lottie - as someone else who feels temping etc. really has me in tune with what my body is up to I have to believe you if you aren't feeling very optimistic, but I'm allowing a myself a little hope on your behalf

Morning everyone - looks like I'm at the top of the list! Wasn't TTC as it was our first cycle since the mc, so actually very excited that AF is here and we can start TTCing for real! Although part of me is cringing at my 10 day LP . It had been hovering around 10-11 before my pregnancy, so I can only assume that it's okay, but I wish it was at least a day or two longer.

Hope everyone is well. sarah at your ex-colleagues! Now you dont' ever have to see them again! And glad you had a lovely time at your leaving do!

Temp higher again today. Dh was away overnight on Saturday - anyone find their temp lower when they sleep on their own? Dh is a bit of a human radiator. Cramps and PMT settled down now so feeling a bit more human. Still pretty sure AF on its way.

Took a risk (get me life in the fast lane or what) and put my freshly washed bedding on the line this morning. Absolutely p*ing it down now.

Reflexology sounds great. I've never had it but would love to. My dream is to one day be able to afford to hire my own personal foot massager. Dh rarely obliges as he says it is boring and I am not grateful enough (git!). Instead he bought me an electronic foor massager which is ok but not nearly as relaxing as the real thing.

Sorky cake I had a CP last month. My period when it came was pretty much as normal I would have said. It seemed to take ages to get going though - I usually start with a great gush and this time I had a morning of brown spotting before the red blood arrived in earnest. Could have been my imagination though. I'm afraid I know nothing about fertility monitors so can't offer much help there.

Oh well off to collect in my soaking wet washing.

I'll go and do it now

Tbh I hate this time of the month. Thursday/Friday last week felt quite optimistic. Saturday/Sunday "how could I have been so dumb of course I'm not pregnant". This morning temp goes up so a tiny tiny bit of me thinking 'hmmmm maybe' knowing full well if I get my hopes up the disappointment of that first nasty wipe will be even worse...

Feeling very periody even as i type...

HairyToe · 14/04/2008 15:07

Chart posted on the other thread.

Do you know next month I am due on in the middle of a week in Menorca with Dh, kids and the in-laws. . Not looking forward to the am I/aren't I rigmarole then. And I won;t even have access to this thread for support!!! How will I cope???

Aw, Lottie, fingers crossed that she stays far away from you! HairyToe too! Hopefully you won't need to be guessing about next month! But I know what you mean. My parents will be visiting when I'm due for AF this month. What if I test? What if it's positive? Do I tell them? What if it's negative?

Still no EWCM ... don't know what's up with this ov-ing late lark!?!?

PrePG · 14/04/2008 17:14

OMG, Lottie I was doing the SAME EXACT thing this month! Wishing AF was here, because, well, I'm ready to start TTC again! But at the same time wishing it wouldn't come so soon because I want my LP to be longer than it is. When she showed up this morning I was kind of disappointed because my LP is only 10 days! You're not alone!

As for testing when my parents are here, I won't be likely to keep it a secret - I mean, they'll be HERE and I'd love to tell them in person. After the mc I decided I'd much rather tell people when I have good news - we had waited to tell even most family and friends because we were worried something would go wrong, but in the end when we had the mc we kind of wished certain people knew. I don't really see the difference in telling my parents when it happens or in waiting a few weeks. My family has a trackrecord of not keeping these kinds of secrets anyway - when my brother told my mother he and SIL were expecting right after they found out she said 'what'd you do? Just roll over and pick up the phone???'

ClairLesley · 14/04/2008 17:26

Lottie & Hairy ... fingers crossed for you both!! You ladies have very nice temps at the mo so I'm all for staying hopeful.

Sarah ... completely get the pet-baby!! We have an 18mth old siberian husky which was one of the first things to send me over the edge of Mt. Broody. Like you, I love taking care of him and love how my DH talks to him like Gus is our baby. We're on a waiting list for a little sister for him over the summer ... thank God there'll be the pitter patter of tiny paws if nothing else I've already named her (Belle), bought her a pink blanket, and her first toy (a pink squeaker handbag) ... and the wee ball of fur hasn't even been conceived yet!! Just wondered if a dog could pee on a stick and get a positive result?? Must google that. Your hamster sounds adorable ... what's his name?

Minxi ... sorry about your strange cycle. Let's hope you're cleared out and primed for this cycle!

Prepg ... good to see you at CD1 (not often we get to say that!)... let the TTC commence! [smile}

Ready · 14/04/2008 17:52

So? the reflexology went well? my feet are yellow apparently ? (please note not in a scabby way, but the skin tone is yellowy) and that means I am ?totally fed up, resentful, indignant and displeased; with a jaundiced view of life!? Think that just about sums me up at the mo! Also she noticed that my adrenal glands are working over time, and because I told her my energy levels are quite high, she thinks that I am using adrenalin for my day-to-day energy, which is not good. I need to relax more and completely disconnect from all my worries and stresses at least once a day. It was very relaxing, but I didn?t drift off ? I think I was too conscious of what she was doing, and wondering which area she was ?working?.

Rattling, that positive spin on late ovulation evaded me! Very proud of you for that? let?s hope an egg got attacked and needs somewhere chunky to bed down ? No symptoms you say?? Do you normally get pre-menstrual symptoms?? Oooh, I so hope it is your month!

Lottie, I sort of followed your advice ? when she asked her million questions, one was ?are you pregnant?? ? I just laughed and said ?well, I could be, I will know next week? ? and then followed it up by saying that I have never been on the pill (true) and we don?t use any contraception (true) so there?s always a chance (true) ? Didn?t have to lie once? she asked if I had any gynae complaints, and I said ?not that I am aware of? ? which is also true, because all my tests have shown I am working normally.

How are you feeling? I nice high temp for this late on in the game fingers and toes crossed for you.

Sorky, sorry I was no help. Hope that it all becomes clear for you

PrePg, glad you are happy to be at the top of the list!! Fingers crossed for you

Hairytoe, it?s interesting about the temp being different when sleeping alone? I tend to wrap myself up in the duvet, so probably not really affected by dh?s temperature.

ClaireLesley, perhaps there is some sort of April fool doing the rounds and delaying ov?s for people No consolation I know. But at least you are not on your own ?

Jealous of all the pets? dh is pet-phobic, so I have to make do with feeding the birds in the garden ? I could watch them for hours. I only wish they wouldn?t shite themselves and scarper when they see me at the window ? Dh has said that we can have fish, and I am keen, but concerned about how to move house with fish. So perhaps we?ll wait til we are in our forever house

Hi just read the anti-acronym thread on AIBU and feeling thoroughly chastened for using AF and BD on here. I never really thought about what they meant tbh just assumed it was the done thing! But Fertlityfriend has BD on the chart doesn't it? Is that where it comes from?

Never thought of myself as twee ans cutesy before!I certainly manage to say the words period and sex in real life (and probably a lot worse besides!)
