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...

Lottie - so much talk of yoga and anger. Am picturing you on a yoga mat, lotus position, chanting and snarling. I suppose I do hope you are more relaxed than that, but it would be bloody funny.

And sneaking in DH sounds just the ticket for getting those hormones flowing like a 16-year old again .

Morning all

herby I managed to catch Property Ladder last night - hilarious about that woman hypnotising her husband! When she was adamant that he do the plastering I thought is she kidding? Hasn't she watched the Beeny before? Doesn't she know that plastering is the one job you DON'T try yourself! Turns out her husband was a pretty good plasterer to begin with - I don't think the hypnotherapy had anything to do with it!

Good luck to your friend! I think every woman should temp, it just makes so much sense to me (Am I sounding a little too much like Toni Wechsler???) When we decided to TTC, DH and I took a very practical approach. I told him about the temping thinking he would cringe at the possible unleashing of the obsessive monster inside me, but he just nodded and said Sure, makes sense. And he even offered to have a semen analysis done before we even started. It just makes sense to me to make sure everything's in working order to try to avoid lots of heartache if at all possible.

PS: According to the 'Things to do to get pregnant' thread on pregnancy it's probably best not to sneeze when you're TTC or cough for that matter!

sarah {{hugs}} for you. Half way through reading your post I thought, wow, she's grumpy today! LOL. Here's a bunch of daffodils to make you smile!

luvingtinkerbell · 18/04/2008 11:48

hi ladies
londonl lol @ sneaking dh to yoga you could roll him up in your yoga mat lol
i am feeling moody @ mo
cd27 and ewcm form yest so am excited about that gof last nite 2

Ready · 18/04/2008 16:17

Seriously? I swear, I only have to sneeze and I get an overwhelming urge to punch smug feckers in the head

Lottie, sorry about the timing of the yoga retreat? and the helpful advice of not always ovulating on cd14 That made me chuckle!

Ok? Another early wake up, and too scared to adjust up, because it leads to my brain wandering places it really shouldn?t wander to.

Hope everyone is ok?

Had first good amount of EWCM this morning....wondered if I'd ever have any again. Funny how such weird things can make you feel more positive ...plus its the weekend so dh might feel more in the mood - luckily ds still goes for a sleep for a couple of hours at lunch (although 9 times out of 10 so does DH!! ) - I might have to join him .....

Chin up Sarah !

Sarah ... poor you! Sounded like you were having a rough morning. Hope you are ok.

Lottie ... definitely think your DP should drop into yoga sanctum all Mission Impossible style, dressed in black and rigged to the ceiling ... that could make for some interesting BD'ing (if you're into that sort of thing!!!)

Ready ... almost pee-ed myself at your 'I only have to sneeze' remark Hilarious!!

Ready · 18/04/2008 18:07

ClairL ... do you think you will ovulate today? The dip yesterday could have been the pre-ov dip, I sometimes get that. Did you do an opk yesterday or today?

ClairLesley · 18/04/2008 21:08

Hey Ready ... sweet of you to notice

I'm hoping yesterday's dip was my pre-ov dip but I'm still getting negative OPK's (internet cheapies). Just hoping my temp goes up now then I can relax a little. I always like the 1st week of the 2ww best ...

Morning all - just a quick update on the fertility hypnotherepy.....

bought a cheap ipod and was going to do an mp3 download - but was scammed on ebay by the ipod seller - 1st time ever and i've been buying and selling for years. I always spot scams!

well - the silver lining - i only lost 20 quid - others who bought rom the same seller lost hundreds....

sarah76 · 19/04/2008 08:19

Okay, I think I ovulated yesterday....had a really sharp pain in right side, off and on for about ten minutes yesterday, plus loads of EWCM yesterday and day before. CP was high, but not as soft as I remembered from last time. And of course, we didn't manage to BD anywhere near it.

DP's 13 weeks PG future SIL and his brother were up to visit yesterday and it put us both in a worse mood. I had to keep smiling while future SIL (who is barely 21 with no qualifications and a bit work-shy) tells me about MSN groups for PCOS and how they've got special diets and the like that might help me. I know she's trying to be helpful, but I just want to say 'look dear, I've got it covered thanks'. I know she feels sorry for me because we're still trying, but I really really really don't want pity off this girl.

We sat through discussions on their ambition to get a council house now that they're PG, but of course they can't get one because they're white. I smiled through gritted teeth as, during dinner, DP's brother noted the lack of 'Asians & Blacks' in the Trafford Centre (meaning this as a positive). DP is depressed because his brother wasn't like this before he took up with little miss racist. Then we got to hear about how they think they should report future SIL's sister and her fiance to social services because there are always bruises on their 1 and 3 year olds and they go for 9 hours without nappy changes and pick them up by yanking them up by one arm. There's always someone worse. And why do these people get to have kids? I don't even know where I'm going with this, it's all just so depressing. DP and I went to bed in grumpy moods, and we have to see them again today before they go back. Glad it's a short visit, don't think either of us could take much more.

On the plus side, the house is finally getting straighted up and unpacked, I found my alarm clock, and I've got another reflexology appointment on Tuesday.

sarah76 · 19/04/2008 08:32

And finally, to stop being all me me me, I did a bit of nosing in charts. . . Ready, FYM, any news for us? Both look really good!

Oh Sarah ... e-hug coming your way! Very good thing they're leaving today. I also wonder why some people get to have kids. There's a toddler I've seen crossing a busy road pratically by herself while her mum danders along 15ft behind her looking down texting on her phone ... she crosses right at a busy roundabout too. Little girl can't be more than 3 or 4 ... yesterday was the third time I saw it happen and I kicked myself all of last night that I didn't pull over in the car and say something to the mum.

Feeling a bit crappity crap myself also ... thought my temp was on the way up yesterday (suggesting ov) but now it's back down again. We slept with the windows wide open but I don't think it would make that much of a difference.

Taking my car through the MOT this morning ...

Have a good Saturday,everyone!

Sorry you're feeling crappy Claire.

:wave: to everyone.

Good luck if testing.

fym · 19/04/2008 11:54

Not sure about my chart - I have adjusted for a couple of early wakeups and it looks way too good to be true!

Sarah - OMG! It really annoys me when people are like that...

Scam was very simple - guy had about 50 feedback (good) then stopped sending out any goods - he must have netted 10k-20k before he was taken off ebay. £20 is nothing - it's the people who've lost £100's I feel sorry for. It was very clever, sending out goods at the start then stopping!
