2ww and the bit in between. BFP's we're waiting!

[Bucky2008]

Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

Evening all!!

Shrek!! Lovely to see you - have you got anything planned for DD's 3rd birthday? How are you doing?

You're in prime time now Bucky so I shall, somewhat wierdly, wish you Good Luck (if thats the right turn of phrase!) for the next few days ! Pleased to hear Molly is settling in and the pee prob appears to be resolving itself - crates are a fab thing, only come back into 'fashion' in the last few years but I think they work a treat - give new dogs a nice and secure area to hide away in.

Scary lovely to hear your blood results are returning to normal, must be a huge relief for you.

MOB what did you decide in the end on Friday night?! Did you go for a virtuous herbal tea or did your resolve weaken????

Ei when do you get your results from the Dr's? How are you feeling??

GG is your working weekend ok? I too am working the weekend - tis not good but at least the weather is awful so don't feel too bad!

How is everyone else feeling? Tink?

How are all our pregnant ladies?!

I am doing ok, absolutely exhausted and in need of my bed though so will sign off now!!

morning ladies
cd30 for me had my 2nd higher temp today for ff need one more too establish ovulation and my egg
hi pnm

i am positive @ mo
got ewcm since thursday morning gof thursday and friday
need one more higher temp for ff to confirm i have ovulated which is really exciting

hello ladies - yes here in the office working away (as is DH in his office down the road ), but of course I couldn;t resisit possin in here to see if the Gold Run of BFP's was continuing

I am CD21 today, so the start of the proper symptom spotting part of the 2WW. Depsote DH's rubbish results I can't help myself every month, getting my hopes up. I really think I will be here for a lot longer, but old habits die hard etc etc. Only 8 days until our appointment with the fertility specialist (on what is probably going to be CD1 for me ). I was determined to be one of those people who got a BFP the minute she was referred to the specialist - the TTC equivalent of all your symptoms and ill health disappearing as soon as you reach the GP surgery, so you look like a complete time waster "Er doctor...yes, well, I was very ill with cough, flu and double pneumonia, but of course now I've made an appointment I'm fine!" .

have a lovely weekend everyone - I am going to have a manic week, so will pop in when I can to say hello and jkeep an eye on all the BFP's

p.s. SHREK - you are back. Hello there!

Hello all..

and a BIG hello to shreksmissus! Thanks for the congrats. You should come back!

bucky Glad things are a bit better with Finn and Molly. Sounds like you need to get bd'ing!!

P&M Hope you had a nice rest. Did you decide to temp again?

GG Poor you at work. You have to remain hopeful as there is a chance for you to get a BFP. I'll keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

tinker Hope you get another high temp tomorrow!!

All is fine here. I am really thirsty all the time!

aft ladies

thanks jolly

Arghhhh, Morning everyone.

FF says I ov on CD12 . I only bd'd on CD10 and CD13 so probably missed the boat AGAIN...One thing that's good though is that I wouldn't have used my OPKs till CD13 so would have probably missed the egg anyway. . At least now I know what I have probably being doing wrong I guess....

How is everyone else today? I am getting the Finn dog and the Molly dog under control now. Its Molly's first afternoon alone in her pen with Finn outside this afternoon. I should probably warn the neighbours about all the barking that is likely to occur. Its like taking your kid to nursery for the first time I suppose. I feel all guilty.

Anyway, enough about me. Shrek great to see you back. You know if you want to come back we would love to have you hang out with us in the 2ww thread.

GG You work SO hard. I feel like a total layabout am working from home again this morning, then back to the daily grind.

Hi to Tink, mob, pnm, jollybear, mibbes, ei, abby, scary and all the other regulars. If I haven't listed you personally doesn't mean I love you less!

morning ladies
cd31 for me have had my third high temp this morning ff hasnt set lines for ovulation yet but info says ewcm would suggest i ovulated cd30-32

hibucky thought gofing days before and after ovulation were the best times for conceiving

Good morning ladies

shreks lovely to see you! I left a message on the waiting room thread the other week to say i had missed you. Do hang around here with us We are an ultra lucky thread at the moment. I'm going to lock the doors and make sure you don't leave us again!! (Except of course to go to the ante-natal threads )

PnM How are things with you? Yes, my resolve did weaken on friday night, infact, all weekend! i can't be doing my eggs any good at all

GG Hope you haven't been working too hard? Carry on symptom spotting - fingers crossed for a BFP just before your appt!

Bucky Hope you are ok - you sound despondant (sp?). You may have timed things well if you ov'd on CD12 - on CD 10 hopefully the swimmers would have been ready and waiting for the egg! If things weren't timed right at least you are armed with some more info for next month. Has DP got his results yet??? We shall have to organise a "posse" to sort him out for you

tink glad to hear it sounds as though you have ov'd!!

Morning to everyone else! (I LOVE Bucky's comment that just because you are not mentioned by name, it doesn't mean you are loved any less!!!)

Well, my temp shot up this morning, but i think that it may be because i was awake for most of the night, i just couldn't sleep. I hope that's all it is, and not that i've ov'd becase if i have already then we have really missed it! (v. lazy weekend BDing-wise )Got lots of EWCM so am hoping we are still in with a chance. Am off out tonight (to go and see Jo Brand, can't wait!!!) so i hope DH is not asleep when i get in...

thanks mob sorry that you couldnt sleep

Afternoon all,

bucky A CD 10 bd is well timed for CD12 ov . I would advise you to keep bd'ing for a few more days in case FF has been a bit premature with the lines, it can get overexcited!

Don't worry, Molly and Finn will be fine! I was worried when I left our kitten (she isn't a kitten anymore!) alone with our older cat for the first time. They are the best of friends now.

MOB I hate those restful nights sleep. Hopefully the bd'ing should send you straight to sleep tonight. Enjoy Jo Brand!

tinker Keep bd'ing just in case! With long cycles your body can make a few attempts to ov (giving you fertile CM) before the egg finally goes.

GG Hello! Hope work isn't horribly busy.

Hello to everyone else!! Ditto what bucky said

thanks jollybear

we gofd - cd8,10,16,21,25,27,28 and last night cd30
have had ewcm since thursay so expecting it to stop any day

Bucky I'd put you in with a good chance judging on your BD dates? Especially if you ovulated late in the day..everything crossed.

JB that's a lovely quote thank you! Will rememeber it.

Shreks hello stranger! Hope we will see you back with us again soon

GG hope you've got some holidays booked to make up for all thses long hours. Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

Tinkerbell sounds like some good signs!

hello everyone - just emerging from all the work chaos. Tis mad round 'ere

hatty - how are you feeling? ANy symptoms yet ? I do have a mini-holiday planned for the Bank Holiday weekend. DH is working in the South of France and has a conference there, so I am going out to join him . I am so excited! Well, I was excited, until I overheard someone I work with here say "I can't do a meeting that day, we are at a conference in Cannes". My heart sank that I migth bump into people from here . I have the worst luck ever with holidays

hello Bucky - can you bring Finn and Molly to the meet up? I feel we know them from the 2WW thread and they are part of it too !

Hello MOB _ enjoy Jo Brand - I am very jealous. I am a bit of a comedy geek and love going to gigs, and she would be in my top 10 of people to see.

hello jolly - any symptoms with you yet? When do you start your new job? Do they have a good maternity policy?

hello to everyone else. I'm slowly counting down the days until next AF which is a week away. Grrrr.

GG South of France sounds bliss (I'm hoping your DH will get some time off too whilst he's there?) You will concieve fuelled with yummy wine and cheese and call the baby Monaco, Antibes or maybe Nice.

JB I'd forgotten about the new job in all the excitement! What a lucky couple of weeks you've had! How far gone will you be when you start?

I have some symptoms. Need to pee loads, some stretchy cramps in tummy and boobs. Tired and feel like someone has switched half my brain off - I'm normally quite wired and hyper, at weekends I normally like to have a "plan" but this weekend I just quite happily lazed around the house with DD's most of the time whilst DH was working.

Had an amusing night on Saturday - we went out for dinner with some friends, who'd also invited some other couples along that they knew and wanted to introduce us to.

Halfway through the evening the conversation turned to who was pregnant, who they thought might be pregnant next and who they thought was currently pregnant but wasn't letting on! Apparently the biggest clue was women who just drank water at dinner parties and looked knackered halfway through dinner..

DH tried not to laugh as I stifled a yawn and put down my water glass! I am so nervous about the first trimester I really don't want anyone to know except for very close friends and family - but I think they might all have guessed so the whole world probably knows now!

Ooh the South of France GG, how lovely! I hope you don't meet any work people. Take some big shades and a wig . Hope the 2ww speeds up a bit.

hatty LOL at the dinner! Maybe they didn't notice I too need to pee loads but I am drinking like a horse so it is no wonder!

I almost forgot about the job in the BFP excitment and then had a panic! They don't want me to start for another six weeks, so if everything goes well I'll be 10 weeks on my first day . I doubt they are going to be very pleased but when would be a good time . Maybe they'll be pleased as they won't have to pay me maternity pay?!

Hey girlies

I have booked the table at Browns, St Martins Lane, for 6 people at 2pm on Sunday (27th). The table is booked in the name of 'Bucky'. I suggest we all wear a carnation or something? Spandex pants maybe?

Browns Webpage for address etc

The six people so far:

Digitalgirl
Griffingirl
Madoldbird
PicknMix
Bucky
Provisonally Scaryhairy

If anybody else wants to come, please do let me know now and I will up the numbers. Scary, hopefully you can make it!

I will email too incase not everyone logs on here (yeah right)

lol @ going to france in diguse and yawning with water at the dinner table
thanks hy yours sound good 2

oooh, exciting. I like Browns (you forgot to add Molly and Finn to the list Bucky ) Thanks loads for organising everything!

I am PMSL at hatty suggesting that I will conceive and call the resulting DC, Monaco. We were actually thinking of calling GryffinChick "Tropez" dahling! It has a certain classy ring to it, doncha think? Or will people just assume I have a bad fake bake habit?!

I actually know a couple who conceived their DS in Ibiza and his middle name is Antonio after San Antonio!!! . They think it is terribly funny! Hmmm, just thinking though I will be roughly CD8 or 9 that weekend, so maybe.... Didn't our very own Fertility Goddess, Abbymeg, create her little bean on CD7?

Jolly - I will have to use the trip and possibility of bumping into anyone from work as an excuse to buy some huge designer sunglasses at the airport . Might draw the line at a wig in all that heat . DH is only conferencing/working until Friday night, so I have him to myself (I hope...) for the rest of the long weekend. I have never been to the Cote D'Azure, so I am excited. I am also a bit worried everyone will be super sophisticated and goergeous and I'll look like some sort of sad hobledehoy with no sense of la style francaise

Nothing more to report here but another night in the office . That holiday couldn't come soon enough.

Have a lovely evening

GG - CD7 or 8, can't remember exactly, but it was much earlier that I'd been trying.

Things not going so good today . I posted a long thread on pregnancy about general anesthetic and ibruprofen which says it all at length. Can't do links - am a bit crap!

Basically, the doctor made me feel like if I make it to twelve weeks and the baby is okay, it will be nothing short of a miracle. I don't know the truth of this, as she gave me no statistical evidence, and other people (friend's sister is a midwife and nurse at surgery when I had stitches out) said general anesthetic should be okay. They didn't mention ibruprofen.

But, from what I've read, taking ibruprofen is BAD. Increases risk of MC from between 12-25% in a normal pregnancy to 80%. I was taking the maximum allowed dosage for 5 days .

If anyone knows anymore about this, positive or negative, I'd really appreciate it.

(Abbymeg finishes depressing everybody and throws copious amounts of babydust at 2WWers, as is the duty of all good fetility goddesses )

Ohhh Abbey - everything and everything crossed that it's all okay - can they offer you an early scan as reassurance/to see what's going on?

GG I feel lucky about your French vacances..I can just see you yelling at your triplets across the playground in a few years....

"Marrrr...seille, Trrrrrrr...opez, Mmmmmmmmm..onaco..if i've told you once I've told you a thousand times...come here now!"

Abby - oh, you poor thing. Doctors feel it their duty to give you worst case scenario, so are probably covering themselves. There are MN doctors who post in the Health section who may be able to help. I know absolutely nothing about ibufrofen, but I can check with GP sister if you like and see what she says. Please don't stress about miscarriage (far easier said than done, I know)

hatty - absolutely PMSL at the thought of me having a litter of DC's

.....and they will give me a typical Gallic shrug, go on strike and get back to their game of boules
