Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

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!

Glad to hear a few of us are feeling the same way. With me I guess it's nothing specific, just can't get the thoughts out of my head no matter how hard I try not to think about it.

I just feel like my heart is telling me to stop dithering about and do it. But head is saying, wait a bit longer, get settled in new job, get a bit more financially secure. But it is so hard to decide what to do!! [I've just joined FF too]

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 21:16

aww cosmo hugs! i feel the same no AF is scaring me but FF says that i am still having fertile days, is that possible?? x

GJ i would do it, but i've got no real clue where to order um from?!and i would only have FF's ideas of ov to go on, so i was thinking i will temp and go by FF for one calendar month, and then i will go on to OPKs if it doesnt go to plan!

are you meant to temp befor you get out of bed?? i should prob know this shouldnt i lol

Cosmogirl · 13/04/2008 21:30

Thanks BB . Not sure how the FF thing works it out. Just put in last period date (even though it was a pill period) and it says I should have a period today! Well, no sign so far. Think it will be helpful thought, when my cycle is back to normal.

GJ - don't feel bad. Hormones make us do crazy things! I think the ov weeing sticks are supposed to be quite good, but also temping works for a lot of people. TBH, I'm no expert as haven't even had proper periods since before the pill - so 8 years ago.

Cosmogirl · 13/04/2008 21:32

I like how FF tells you about the new moon - is this supposed to influence the menstrual cycle?!

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 21:33

lol cos at least you know its prob just the pill upsetting your AF, is that bit comforting?

ive put in my period date, and its forecast when i should ov and that, so i think i will get thermometer tomo, and temp between now and then, and obv GOF too, then if temp spikes around when it says i should ov then i know its right?? is that right?

arg this is driving me nuts! i wasnt obsessed the first time honest lol

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 21:35

tinks when u get on as the temping expert could you possibly let me know whether i have to temp before getting out of bed? or if i just need to do it at the same time of the day? or if anyone else knows?? x

Cosmogirl · 13/04/2008 21:37

Think that sounds about right BB. Tis all a tad confusing though isn't it? Sure it will become clearer as time goes on. Hopefully you lot will all have your BFPs by then tho

Hope FF is right and AF shows herself tonight or tomorrow....

Broodybabywannabe · 13/04/2008 21:41

that would confirm my faith lets hope on it eh?? in the mean time i will temp with vigour and all that lol

GJ, Broody, Cosmo and co...get your OV sticks, HPT sticks and all the rest of your shopping at either www.buy-clearblue.co.uk,www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk or www.valuemed.co.uk and enter the code value5% when you checkout.

I bought some HPT's from them and they sent me an email saying I could have a code for friends to use if I was part of a TTC group, so its all legitimate. I've used them twice so far and they've been excellent. Next day delivery on HPT's for Saturday first wee testing!!!

AF is a big mean painful old witch. Hope taking some painkillers helps or I'll be going back to bed instead of sitting at my desk .

oops, forgot a space.... I meant www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk - this is the one I used but they're all owned by the same company.

And for what its worth, i wouldn't bother with clearblue, I've been using the ACON early tests but you can get first response from here too.

Morning everyone.

I'm bloody freezing this morning. Its horrible and I'm exhausted.

Just watching 'I'd do anything' that I recorded Saturday night. John Barrowman is so cute.

Hope everyone is ok today.

tinkerbellbringingsexyback · 14/04/2008 08:54

Broodybabywannabe · 14/04/2008 11:18

thanks tink i will start tomo

YouCantTeuchThis · 14/04/2008 11:56

Morning all

Busy house again as I have more guests. Just flying by to say 'alright?'

Interesting that a few of you are going for temping - it is, apparently, the most accurate way of telling when you have ovulated - the downside being that you only know once it has happened, but I suppose you get very tuned into the signs.

I was using OPK's for a couple of months, but if you have a dodgy cycle at all, then they can be confusing, as you can have more than 1 LH surge and that des not mean that you have actually OV'd .

Not using this month, but found one in the drawer so, of course, I used it and got a faint line (negative)...now I need to co and check that I still got faint lines after OV in previous months as I was sure I OV'd on Friday!!

Anyway...listen GJ, I know the frustration is difficult but wait until you and DP have had your chat tomorrow. It is not worth risking your relationship for the matter of a good heart-to-heart, or a few months if it comes to that.

It is an overwhelming urge, and you need to help DP to understand that!

Broodybabywannabe · 14/04/2008 12:10

i just bought my thermometer!!! sign me up!! x

Hoping temping will make me feel more positive and make waiting easier lol x

kayzisexpecting · 14/04/2008 12:22

Hi everyone.

Good luck with your temping BB.

Feeling a bit scared. I had a tiny amount of very very light pink discharge and I'm worried its going to turn into blood.

Got my MW appointment on Wednesday so I will ask her what it is.

Hope you are all ok and good luck for tomorrow GJ.
