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

PicknMix I thought one of us would have success this month, stupid old stinking witch. She should just get over herself and realise she is not invited to the party .

My bleedin thermometer has NOT arrived yet!!! First class post my arse. I am really grumpy today. I can't sleep and was super stressed over nothing yesterday, today is a bit better but still...

AF has left here...pretty quick for me , but it was heavy so no chance of a bean hiding in the 'wings'!

Ei What does your chart look like now, are your temps still high.

Tink I would say you ov. sometime between CD17 and CD18

GG They wanted us after our pitch, but we are discussing fees. Sorry they are working you so hard.

Bring on the cake.

hi ladies
i posted this on emmsys thread too but cant be arsed writin it again so i have copied and pasted so apologies for anyone wh has read it already
ok update! i went to the docs and told him about everythin that is going on and about my magic 'optical illusion' test from yesterday. i also started spotting red blood overnight aswell and told him this and he has said he thinks it is an early MC/CP! it makes sense i suppose but he wants to send a wee sample off and when we get the result i will then go for a blood sample if that is neg if its BFP then i will be referred to EPU for an early scan due to my MC a few years ago! he was very helpful and i feel a bit sad now and funny thing is my temp is still high so i am thinking CP ah well i wont have any more concrete answers til next week now but im assuming i will be on cycle 6 by next week so hey ho off to cycle 6 i go!!
hi to everyone else
welcome heron good luck!

Morning all,

ei Glad the Dr was helpful. If the bleeding doesn't get any worse then it might be a viable pregnancy and just be implantation spotting. Hope you get good news

P&M Sorry to hear AF got you . I was really at what that mother said to her child in your shop. Honestly, why should people like that even have children

GG I think you are doing the right thing making sure you bd at the right times. You DO have to be in it to win it and just one fast swimmer is all your need. Sorry work has been difficult.

bucky Glad to hear your DP has done his sample. I feel bad for recommending babymad and it took so long for your thermometer to arrive .

tinker It is really hard to tell if you have ov from your chart as they are erratic. You don't sleep with your mouth open do you because that can affect the temp? Hopefully after a few more temps it will become clearer.

Hello heron good luck!

I went for a job interview yesterday afternoon and have yet to hear . I think that means bad news. Sucessful candidates are contacted the same or next day usually are they not? Oh well. Still nice high temps so can't complain

Mmmm, well I'm not sure then! They are very rocky temps which may be because you are not long off the pill, is that right? (sorry if I'm getting you mixed up with someone else). It might be that your hormones are still a bit mixed up and you are having a longer than usual cycle and haven't ov yet. I'd keep bd'ing if you have both recovered from your bug! Even with rocky temps there is usually an obvious shift between pre and post ov temps. Sometimes charts can be difficult to read until you have a few more temps in though, so everything might be clear in a few days.

Have a good weekend all

Phew, found you!

ei So sorry to hear your news, how sad if it is an early miscarriage hope you're okay ((((ei))))

gg You never know it could be your month!

bucky Hope the thermometer arrives when you get home and you can get temping

p&m I would be mad at that mum too..really really sorry to hear AF arrived

jb any news from the job interview? I've found it a good sign when there's no news as they may well be furiously discussing a tie between great candidates, obviously including you.

No news from me - we've had a grim week workwise with one of my clients having to let me go due to internal nightmares and DH being very quiet at work too - two self-employed people in one household is grim!

So deep down kind of hoping that this won't be my month, (whilst still hoping at the same time). Have managed not to think about it so much that I just realised I've forgotten to ring for my blood test results today! .

On day 28 and am very grateful that at least I am not getting my usual nightmare PMT that I've had the last few months, think that's because we've been so manic instead of because I'm pregnant. Think DH would cry if I got a BFP this month! Hopefully AF will arrive quietly and painlessly this month for once at the weekend!

Where is everyone? Its been quite quiet around here .

Ei sorry about the spotting/CP possibilities, I hope you get some answers soon to put your mind at rest.

Hi Hatty long time no see! Missed you.

My thermometer arrived on Thursday...hurrah. Don't feel bad JB silly billy, it wasn't even that long...I was just overexcited about it. Anyway, I have begun my chart.

One thing though, is it just mine or does the thermometer take AGES before it beeps! Mine takes about 3 mins which is a long time when you are waiting!

Hello everyone

Sorry for not being on for a couple of days. Stupid broadband playing up.

PnM sorry for AF arrival.

Mibbes hope all is ok after you had some bleeding.

EI pleased to hear that you have been to the GP but sorry to hear that it may be an early m/c. Hoping for better news for you next week.

Bucky glad you have your thermometer now. I have done two mornings now - need to go onto FF and work out what to do! Mine seems to take ages as well, particularly annoying as i am taking it when i am desperate for my morning wee! Exciting though, and i feel i am doing something positive. I'll show you mine if you show me yours!! better wait till we have some more dots first. Is it next week you get DP's results? I have lost track a bit of who's getting what results when.

GG Sorry to hear you have had a difficult time at work. Hope things have settled down. Has DH said how he's getting on with TCOYF??!

tink nice to see you back. It looks as though you may have ov'd on CD17, but as your last cycle was fairly long, it's difficult to tell. Keep BDing.

hattyyellow sorry to hear you are having work problems as well. Don't forget to get your resluts on Monday!!

JB yes, i agree, no news is good news about the job. Do let us know if you hear anything!

Sorry to anyone i have forgotten - i have only had a quick read before posting. Have a good weekend everyone

Hello everyone,

I wrote a nice long message this morning and then my internet went down and the message was lost - grr...

I have also had a bit of a manic few days - had a melt down on Friday where I think all this ttc lark really got to me. Am exhausted today as have tried so hard to be upbeat as its DH's b'day. Bunny also poorly so stressed about that too (gosh, I sound really grumpy - sorry!)

Ei I'm so sorry to hear your news. I really hope you can get some answers next week, until then.

Yay for the new thermometer Bucky!! Hope it gives you a feeling of empowerment (it did with me when I first started temping).

Fingers crossed you hear something tomorrow about the job JB Hatty sorry to hear about job probs - I will try and post a reminder for checking your results tomorrow morning for you !

Same to you as well GG re the job probs - hope you've had a lovely to weekend to compensate?

How you getting on Mibbes???

Hi and welcome to Heron and Josie and a hello to Tink as well!

Tick tock tick tock, day 31 no AF - due tomorrow. Have had cramps in the night the last few nights so it's probably gearing up to arrive in the next 24 hours.

But I'm wondering if the acupuncture has helped with the PMT as I've had no PMT at all which has been bliss

I'm sooooooo not concentrating on work and it's only 9.30! Trying to get through to doctors for blood test results as well but it's the normal Monday morning rush for appointments so I don't think I'll get through for a while.

Hope everyone had a good weekend - tempers how are your charts going? Feel I should do mine just to join in! My DH always complains about the beeping when the thermometer has finished as it wakes him up!

good morning everyone - just a quic post as I am up to my neck in far too much work. I thought the credit crunch was supposed to put pay to all this ?

Hope you all had lovely weekends . We watched the London Marathon on the route because DH's sister was running. She is a pretty good runner and went round in something brilliant like 3 hrs 45 . In fact, she was so speedy that we missed her at the first place we tried to watch, so had to dash off to another part of the route! It also p*ssed it down, so we got soaked to the skin, but it was a great atmosphere. Now I keep thinking that I should really get fit (me, totally unfit Gryffin!) and run next year . I'm sure I'll get over this feeling by about lunchtime

I am on CD15 today and we managed quite a bit of BDing over the weekend, so at least we've given it a go - it's 14 days until our fertility specialist appointment and I am couting the days. I think we may have hit the right time with BD-ing, but who knows whether that is enough for DH's geriatric swimmers and their zimmers . DH is trying to get me to plan holidays, btu I don't want to arrange anything until we have a clear, mapped out, timetable for any treatment going forward. I am not going to miss out because we have holidays booked (which can be fitted in around appointments). DH isn't very chuffed at being told he has to wait, but what is the point in booking anything when we are both flexible about times?! He says he wants something to look forward to, which would be fine, but he can wait a fortnight and I wish he would look forward to our appointment as much as he looks forward to a week in Cape Cod, which is his current plan! Grrrr

hatty - fingers crossed that AF doesn't arrive for you and sorry to hear about the work stresses.
picknmix - it seems everyone is stressed at the moment with work. Hope you are ok today. Any exciting news with you?

Jolly - have you heard back about the job interview yet. Fingers crossed!

Bucky - how do your tempratures look?

hello to everyone else. There must be a BFP or two out there this month

Must dash and do some work, so I'll "speak" soon. Broadband is playing up at home (do we all have a MN virus ?) so can only post at work, which is not very convenient.

P&M hope you're feeling a bit more cheerful today

Just phoned for my blood results, everything fine (yay no pcos!) but my TSH levels are a bit high...now sitting on my hands to not google madly but that seems to be mean underactive thyroid (great, new thing to obsess over!)

Report
GryffinGirl · 14/04/2008 11:51

hatty - that's great news about the blood test results and no PCOS . Hopefully it is not thyroid trouble either, but my best friend has had issues with her thyroid since she was about 15 and she conceived her DD in 2 months, so I am sure it is something easily controlled if there is something spotted.

Report
hattyyellow · 14/04/2008 12:28

Cheers GG, looking at the list of symptoms for underactive thyroid I am a bit concerned that it may be a problem..

I am very tired, cold, dry skinned etc most of the time (but then isn't everyone in winter?!)

Once my new cycle begins I will need to book in a day 3 blood test with my doctor, so will grill her on the whole thing then!

Oh god, please make me do some work! A new medical thing to google and being at the end of my cycle really aren't helping my concentration! Do you think I could get MN to block my computer?
