Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

think i ovulated cd17

Dis, those Predictor tests are total rubbish (IMO) - I've never got a postive wioth them, even when getting dark lines with other brands. Others on MN have had similar experiences.
Seems it really will be a case of waiting it out for you sadly, though there are many of us who have had similar results and ended getting bfps a week or so after af was due .
TINKS, pardon my ignorance - basic question - when you are pregnant does your temp stay high? Is that the basic rule? May well get into it when I start ttc, though I am notoriously bad at forgetting to do things everyday (like my poor abandoned bank-breaking Zita West vits )

tinkerbellbringingsexyback · 13/04/2008 11:40

yes i belive so it stays high above a level
any thoughts on my chart

Hmm, from a non-expert eye, could be dayb 17, but what accounts for the dips and rises after that time? As you can tell I'm pretty clueless . What's the spec on the temping thread?

Hi guys, think today is CD1, but she's a bit off-colour, so to speak.

Sure she'll sort herself out, she normally does!

Hope you're all having nice Sundays

GJ, sounds a good idea about getting verything into the open with dh - though about his comments about your pregnant friend - they don't just 'get it' sometimes do they, the fools!!
Cals, boo to af, though it's the start of a new month! I'm going to try and get my smear moved to this week rather than end of the month - not that it makes a massive difference, but should ensure I get the (hopefully good) news back in time for full-on May ttc!
Hi to everyone else . Dh completed marathon in 4 hours 20 mins, so fairly pleased and we're all looking forward to seeing him later tonight!

calsworld · 13/04/2008 16:26

Diege - DH did brill! Yep, start of new month, but goodness only knows how we're going to pg if all the GOFing we did came to nothing!!

Think I might just try to forget about it for a while, I'm becoming obsessed and think that's probably not helping.

GJ, dp's just don't get it, do they! on one hand and not surprised at all on the other!

DH is cooking roast beef for dinner - smells fab!

MoosMa · 13/04/2008 16:56

Yes thanks GJ, he actually made it home at 11.30 last night I don't know how, he must've been towed by a jet or something! And the owner of the car he'd borrowed has agreed to pay for most of the cost of the 2 new tyres

We've had a lovely day today, we've been into town and had lunch at brewsters then back into town, then out to the hills for a cream tea

It was all good until DD1 got her hand caught in the lift doors in Debenhams. She had her hand on the door and as it slid back it gobbled her hand up, DH grabbed the door but couldn't stop it so just pulled her hand out, ripping some of the skin off the palm of her hand and one finger. She cried a lot but it wasn't too bad - no blood, just a bit squished!

She's all better now though, she's very proud of her 2 plasters on her hand, she even asked to ring Granny to tell her all about it

I think we'll be more careful next time we go in a lift though

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 18:37

evening all

yes moosma im going a bit mad but dont feel it right to go docs just yet IYSWIM? im trying not to stress about it tho

glad you've all had nice sundays, ive been out all day x

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 19:09

just worked out im on CD56 x

calsworld · 13/04/2008 19:11

Oooh MoosMa, poor DD! That sounds scary . Good news about the tyres and about the cream tea!

AF is really becoming a pain now, it feels like my endometriosis is coming back too as its very painful, in a familiar way.

Well, it seems that my once regular as clockwork 28 day cycles are actually now mostly 31 days, apart from last months colassal 41 day cycle!

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 19:13

tinkerbellbringingsexyback · 13/04/2008 19:51

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 19:54

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 20:20

ok ive been driven to it, tommorrow i am going to buy a thermometer and start temping, thats a reliable-ish way to see if i am ovulating isnt it? i.e if i am temp will rise?

lol me too!! totally clueless! havent actually got a temperature monitor thermometer thingy but gonna go get it and do it tomo, and i have also joined fertility friend which charts your stuff, and gives you a good way to go track whats going on, so thats what im doing, shall start tomom its mad the lengths we go to eh?

i think higher temp = ov? its good that website tho as it shows you when u might ov even tho my AFS are fooked, which makes me feel happier! u can also add your specific feelings for that day, like tired etc and your CM x

Cosmogirl · 13/04/2008 20:54

Evening,

GJ - hope the talk goes well on Tuesday. I have had a weird weekend....feeling stupidly broody again and not as in control as I'd like to feel about the whole thing. Don't think the fact that AF has gone AWOL is helping. I am on CD 56 too BB. No period since I stopped taking the pill.

Just starting to realise how much contraception screws with the body! Hopefully things will return to some sort of normality soon.

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 20:58

hi cosmo

im om cd 59 according to the fertility website im gonna treat it like god for a while me thinks, as im thinking some hope better than none, truth be told im really upset at af going awol and getting self more than a little hung up on it!!

saw my baby niece today that didnt elp my broodiness, what about u? anything in particular?

lol GJ you sound perfectly reasonable to me i am feeling more like im spiralling out of control due to lack of af, however my rationale side says (also optimist) cld already be pg as we were at it just before and just after coil out, which according to fertility monitor (c'mon keep up!!) included a fertile day... so optimistic...so unlikely...so desperate
