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

morning oufton

i have found someone is like a graveyard on here!!

same temp for me today

am sure i have ovulated and thoughts on chart welcome

JollyBear · 23/04/2008 10:57

Morning all,

You chart is lovely bucky, a lovely rise . How are Molly and Finn today? Do they seem to be getting on OK?

GG How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

MOB How is the charting going? Are you finding it a help?

tinker I had a look at your chart and, sorry but it really doesn't look like you have ov to me. Have you looked at the chart gallery in FF?

Hello oufton! Is it the 'action' time of the cycle for you yet? .

I went to my GP this morning and well what a sunbeam she was . Amongst her questionable remarks: 1, "Pregnancy tests are too sensitive because people get positives when the embryo hasn't even implanted" . 2, "Pregnancy sickness is mainly psychosymatic" . She also gave me a startling figure on early misscarriages! I'm so glad I went .

hattyyellow · 23/04/2008 10:58

How are we all this morning?

Abbey how you doing?

hattyyellow · 23/04/2008 11:00

Oh JB what a cow! Sorry to hear she was so miserable about it all.

There's far more pregnancies ending in babies overall than ending in miscarriage aren't there? And no reason why yours shouldn't be gurgling in your arms in 9 months time.

I actually swopped doctors last time as I just couldn't stand my one and I'd registed there not knowing there was one nearer me! My new doctor was lovely.

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 11:05

hi jb ye have been browsing gallery
ff says in analyzer ewcm suggest ovulation cd30-33

JollyBear · 23/04/2008 11:22

Hello tinker, EWCM indicates that your body is fertile and pre-ov but can get EWCM and not ov in a cycle. Once the egg has gone then you would expect your temps to become higher than your previous temps and stay at a high level or get higher. I just don't want you to stop bd'ing and miss your egg that's all! In a few more days it might be clearer that you have ov .

Thanks hatty! I've never seen that GP before, the others are really nice. She has even insisted I have a urine test sent off the the lab to confirm .

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 11:26

cheers hun jb
heres hoping for higher temps
so far have bd cd8,10,16,21,25,27,28 and 30

Oufton · 23/04/2008 11:35

God jb what an evil wench, that's exactly the kind of cheery advice you need to hear this early on, I hope she's not a Samaritans counselor in her spare time . I hope you're firmly ignoring her.

I am bedroom action to the max, I've instigated the every-other-day method this month and in honour of the position discussions on here as well as an attempt to keep things fun I've said we need a new position every time. God alone knows what state I'll be in by the end of the cycle, a trip to an osteopath is probably on the cards!! Also you should all stand by for position advice because I reckon I'll run out of all the ones I know in about a week .

Hi to abbey and hatty how are you both today?

And tink that is an impressive list, go tink and her DP!

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 11:38

cheers oufton lets hope that we caught the egg

littlemissdaisy · 23/04/2008 12:04

Hi Peeps, Well the Clinic finally called me back today, only took 24hrs, she went on to tell me that I am having an early miscarriage,I cold have told her that, she then spouted on about how nothing can be done blah de blah, they can't scan until you are six weeks etc, she also told me not to take my clomid until I have a proper period next month, as this is my third miscarriage she has said I need to go in for a follicle scan and reveiw on day 10 of my next clomid cycle. Helpful and reassuring, I think not

GryffinGirl · 23/04/2008 12:09

hello all

jolly - your GP does indeed sound like a little ray of sunshine . I am pretty sure that implantation would have occurred by now and ther is no doubt you are PG! Honestly, doom and gloom merchants can get lost . They can't p*ss on our chips when we have had so much good BFP luck on this thread.

No symptoms for me really beyond yesterday's slightly sore (.)(.), but as I said, they always are tender at this point in the month and the last 17 cycles or whatever, werenn't indicative of a BFP in waiting, sadly. Really excited about the meet up on Sunday ladies

Work has calmed down a lot, thank good ness. The deal signed last night - finally [phew emoticon], so I have a little respite. DH is still in Germany, hopefully not indulging in the beer there ahead of our appointment on Monday .

oufton - PMSL at the need for an osteopath after all the TTC BD-ing. DH and I have become more adventurous again - at first when TTC I made him stick to easy ones for maximum fertility potential. Does anyone remember Mizz magazine's "Position of the Fortnight" feature that got whackier and whackier as the years went on?! Takes me back a bit.....

hello to hatty Bucky tinker MOB and picknmix and everyone else.

Horrid rainy day in London. Yuck.

Oufton · 23/04/2008 12:18

Yay GG i do remember the position of the fortnight, oh man the reverse cowgirl still brings a tear to my eye!! I don't know if I'm made funny but I swear it's completely impossible to get it in and keep it there in that position. We'll have to start a position of the week on this thread, I'll certainly be needing new ideas soon...

Sorry to hear the clinic were rubbish daisy, some people are just plain horrid. I hope you're ok.

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 13:02

so sorry lmd you take care

Madoldbird · 23/04/2008 13:13

Hello everyone

abby hope you are feeling a bit better about things today. What an awful GP. I would echo what everyone else has said - see another dr if at all possible. I would hope that you would be given extra-special care & monitoring under the circumstances.

Bucky you are ahead of me now (ov-wise) and your chart is looking v nice - i am ! I want lines

mibbes thank you for letting us know about TF - what a little miracle! Hope things are ok with you.

scary i do hope that DD gets better and that you can make it to the meet up.

JB i can't believe your GP either it is disgraceful & she clearly doesn't know what she is talking about! I bet you wish you hadn't gone. I hope you can forget about the stupid woman and enjoy being pregnant. Thank you for asking about the charting - yes i think it is helping, it certainly makes me feel like i am doing something positive, and it's no hassle really. It is a bit of a strange chart, though, i think maybe because i was ill last week. I have disregarded Mondays high temp, as i had been awake most of the night, and it looks a bit better. I have had 2 +ve OPK's, so now i need to hope i get some high temps. Any thoughts on my chart welcome!

oufton am impressed at you doing a different position, everytime, especially if you are still at it every other day! I too remember reverse cowgirl I have to say DH & I do find it tricky to remain in that position. Doggy is a (more than) frequent favourite with us. You may need to move out of the bedroom to find new positions... we had a rather passionate time in the kitchen sometime ago dinner was cooking at the time and was ruined, but there were new positions galore

GG am pleased to hear things have slowed down at work. I too am really looking forward to the meet up! Will have my carnation at the ready PnM - will wave it wildly so you can see it

Hello also to tink ei dg hatty and anyone else that my addled brain can't remember at the moment!

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 13:20

i want line to mob any thought on my chart?

Oufton · 23/04/2008 13:33

Thanks for the kitchen advice mob, I have to say it's the one place guaranteed to make DH last for ages, I don't know if it's the stress of me going "come on, hurry up, the pasta is boiling over" or what but man alive he takes days!!!

mibbes · 23/04/2008 17:35

OMG JB what a witch - it never ceases to amaze how inconsistent GPs can be ! I hope you are ignoring her and sticking to your positive mantra
tinker I agree with JB and posted for you on Emmsy's thread - keep BDing.
Oufton you deserve a BFP based on effort alone !!
littlemissdaisy so sorry clinic was so useless
GG PMSL at Mizz positions, I remember them well !
Bucky what a lovely chart - lucky you oving so early
MOB wow, impressed with BDing prowess - not sure I's ever ruin my dinner for BD though ! Get to the kitchen now lady, with 2nd +ve opk you are pretty much guaranteed to ov today !! I am very well thanks for asking.

tinkerbelldust · 23/04/2008 17:45

bding tonire here we come cheers

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 23/04/2008 20:05

hi ladies
oufton pmsl at your position talk you are very funny
littlemiss sorry the clinic were of no use to you i have had bother with my GP today getting my results for my lab preg test to confirm my CP/early MC. they have ballsed up and sent the sample off without labelling it so the lab refused to test it so any result i get now (unless i get a BFP) is irrelevent they have known this for 3 days and didnt bother to get in touch with me and just suggested i pop in with a sample and my phone number so the nurse could test it in the office what use is that to me?? if i was indeed preg and had a MC or a CP then surely i would test BFN now anyway and if i wasnt and i had just had a mad cycle i would still get a BFN so where is my answers?? bloody useless GPs!!
anywho rant over...
hi to everyone
xx ei xx

abbymeg · 23/04/2008 21:09

Hello (big waves to everyone)

Thank you to everybody for your support over the last couple of days. I really appreciate it. I'm just taking each day as it comes; and each day I get through is a relief! I'll be (fingers crossed) 5 weeks tomorrow, so progress is slowly being made.

Anyway, enough about me. I am stopping to once again shower you all in magic baby dust *

ScaryHairy · 23/04/2008 21:12

Hi everyone

It's funny reading this thread tonight, esp position of the fortnight. Was it More magazine that had position of the week when I was about 16? Believe it or not doggy causes much more logistical problems than reverse cowgirl around here . Can't believe I just typed that...we'll have to get this thread deleted soon!

JB what is it with these GPs? When I told my old GP I was pregnant with DD he started CRYING. And this GP insisted I had already miscarried when I had an ectopic. Bunch of loons.
And sorry to hear about the crappy clinic littlemiss. God TTC is so hit and miss.
Hello Ei, mibbes, oufton, GG (glad the deal signed... actually I am glad that anything is still signing these days), MOB, Tinketbell and anyone I have (accidentally) forgotten.

Am having backwards 2WW (or in fact 3 month wait) here... I have to go to the hospital next week for more bloods to check my HCG levels are now zero. But I thought if I did an HPT and it showed negative I would go tomorrow and get discharged sooner. So for the first time I got to peeonastick while hoping for a negative. Sadly (!) it is still a feint positive, so it is not over yet. I really want a negative so I can start drinking, having sex and taking folic acid again. It's like being in a parallel universe!

ScaryHairy · 23/04/2008 21:13

GG - didn't read your post properly. Of course it was Mizz! Those were the days...

Bucky2008 · 23/04/2008 21:19

Well I think we can safely say that doctors are rubbish this week . What's wrong with them all???? I have to go to mine tomorrow with DP for his test results, he (the dr) better be in a good mood or I will inform him of all the horrid stories I have heard about doctors recently and blame them all on him.

All this talk about positions is making my eyes water, reverse cowgirl , I don't know what's worse a) that you have all heard of it or b) that I have not heard of it

MOB where is your chart I want to see it. Do I have to go back to the link you posted before?

Well, if being a total psycho is a symptom I have some. I keep crying over nothing really. Twice today, once because whilst I was gagging cleaning up Finn's sick, Molly peed on the floor in the living room and the second time because a lady was ill on the train and I missed dog school because they had to call an ambulance. DP thinks I need tobe committed, and I can't say I disagree...what is WRONG with me . Maybe I am tired or something .

Anyway, how are we really going to know each other on Sunday? I guess if you ask for the table they will tell you where it is? Its quite a big place, maybe we should meet at the bar first?

Bucky! I forgot you.... sorry!
I'm sure the meeting-up part of the meet up will be fine. I mean, we'll all be the ladies wandering about staring at other ladies.
Or maybe we should have a signal? Three winks or something?!
