Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

Just a quickie (I'll be back later for more!) to say munnzie, don't despair of this thread - I'm sure these highs and lows of activity are very normal and after all we couldn't keep going at the pace we were at! I've definitely not deserted this thread for the old duffers - couldn't do without my girls to keep me going

RudyDudy · 20/01/2005 12:49

hello all

CD26 for me - still plodding on with revision and waiting but am going to see a house in a couple of hours which I'm quite excited about and should relieve the tedium a little.

about AF munnzie - but that's the last time we want to hear about her okay so while she's here have a word and tell her that you still want to be friends but would prefer it if she didn't visit for a while.

When's your AF due marinda? Hope the symptoms aren't too bad. It's annoying when you know she's coming and you just want to get it over with to have another month to ttc. All sympathy to you and if she's coming I hope she hurries up. Though you know it's not over until she's actually here...[fingers crossed emoticon]

hi hester - how's the no choc going? I thought of you today when I nearly bought a bar and chose 2 satsumas instead . I'm awful at eating chocolate for energy when I'm tired and I was up a lot last night with DS teething. (Are you lot sure you know what you're letting yourselves in for???!!!)

Hope all well. Back later, RD xxx

munnzieb · 20/01/2005 12:59

my god, rudy, ........ yes I think ur suffering from hesters symptoms as well! lol, (she says with a low fat yoghurt bunch of grapes and apple in her lunch box today! ) see what u started young hester! - but then again i've eaten nrly all the choccy cake I made for DH's return (it's quite literally the size of a house, he seems to think it would feed the whole of camp for a week!) - and we were rather chatty wern't we!

Will have a chat to AF rudy - thou i'm not to hopeful for the minute - i'm just chuffed she showed up this month, or there wouldv'e been a lot of explainin to do! lol. i'm still on for april time ish so I have a jan/feb baby!

pICLEDONION - HOPE SICKNESS IS A GOOD SIGN !

sparkly · 20/01/2005 23:06

Not been around much this week - sorry - been really busy at work and not had the energy at night to do anything. CD7 for me today so in the not worrying part of it all - at least for now. Given my last cycle was around 33 days I'm going to try to plan the whole BD thing a bit better this time around - we may have totally missed the window of opportunity last month anyway. I'm promising myself not to test too early this month - until at least day 32!

Rudy - good luck with your exams! And good luck to anyone who is testing soon!!! Fingers crossed!

munnzieb · 21/01/2005 09:04

good luck for the exam Rudy - not that you'll need it!

Will keep you posted Marinda - so far all I know is I have to take a morning sample along with me, thou I have no idea why. (just hoping Af has left me by then! lol.) Jeds has an apt the same day so it will be intresting to see how they do things way over in England, esp as DH's next posting looks to be in York, so if we're not PG by (next March) then i'll be getting refered to there.

P/O - hmmm sicky feeling ((((hugs)))) it's horrid isn't it. fingers crossed thou it's a good sign. My nan swears blind she was sick every meal time for the whole nine months, literally from the point of conception to the birth, so I don't think theres a time frame on it really (hoping I don't have that thou)

Sparkly- Good luck for this month hon.

Jeds - Hope all is OK now.

Hulababy · 21/01/2005 09:15

CD24; 8DPO. Temps went p a little again today - so still over cover line for now. Few more days of waiting to go now though...

Chart here

... I hate the waiting bit! Don't we all?"

morningpaper · 21/01/2005 09:28

Can seem to load your chart... but fingers crossed!!!!

Day 22 here... tested yesterday - so emabarassed to admit this - BFN of course.

Hulababy · 21/01/2005 09:33

Soory about BFN - seems that it was probably a bit too early though. What DPO do you think you are?

triceratops · 21/01/2005 09:39

Hi everyone, CD7 here so next week is the fun bit of all this.

Morningpaper - so long as you dont test everyday until AF I will consider you quite restrained.

morningpaper · 21/01/2005 09:51

Tri: I will wait a few more days...

Hula: I think I was only 8 days po.

I am just basing this on the fact that I get a very specific sharp pressure-pain for about 2 hours around mid-cycle, which I assume is ov pain (it looked that way when I was charting a few years ago).

MINNIE1 · 21/01/2005 11:54

morningpaper,
Join the club, At the start i was testing at CD20 onwards just incase i was,,, How bloody silly but its hard not to... But your to early to get the BFP so fingers crossed you do in the next few days...

BellaLasagne · 21/01/2005 11:56

Hi girls, just popping in to see if you're all OK.

I've changed my name, as you can see, as I thought it was about time; maybe this will bring me luck?

Munnzie - how's it going with dh? Is he driving you crazy yet? Has he gone back to work yet? (I could only ever stand about a week and then I'd go mad!) Hope all's well.

BFN, and babydust to all ;';'*;'

Wifeof xx

munnzieb · 21/01/2005 12:47

MP don't worry at all, I did a test (knowin full well I wouldn't be PG as DH was away, it was a BFN but just had to make sure! lol. still it's one less for this coming month to use! lol). I normally have the whole OV pain as well, but mine only lasts for about 5 mins if that.

fingers crossed Bella for u... DH... well he's being v v attentive and loving (quite a shock really - he's even done breckie in bed...... twice! lol.) in all thou things are a lot better between us, and i'm not looking forward to him going back, he goes beg of feb, so hopefully i'll have a OV b4 then. still it will only be for 8 weeks, then i'll be CD 3-7 when hje's home, and OV is on 12-14 so should be all sorted. will just have to remeber to relax and not get so worked up, which is why I think AF was late showing up.

MIL down this weekend, so i'll talk to you all again on Monday after they've gone (comp is in the spare bedroom) Good luck all testers!

runtus · 21/01/2005 13:09

Hello all, just a quick note before I jump on the plane to OZ (god I like saying that!). Just been for my latest round of blood tests, so hopefully some nice results when I get back and see the Consultant. Fingers crossed for me girls that they show something dead easy to mend!

I'll be thinking of you all while I'm away and I want a big glut of BFP for me to read when I get back. Having said that, the rate you lot gossip it might take me another month to catch up!

Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I'd let you know I sent Sweetheart a little text last night wishing her all the best for the induction today, she is gutted (as you would expect) but holding it together for now. Can I ask you all to keep an eye on here, if she makes an appearance on here while I'm away? Really sorry to be going at such a horrible time for her...........Life just isn't fair sometimes is it?

Hulababy · 21/01/2005 13:11

Will do runtus. I am so sorry for Sweetheart; feel really upset for her

Have a great time in Oz.

RudyDudy · 21/01/2005 13:50

Me too runtus. Very for sweetheart but don't worry we will look after her if she is around. Meanwhile, you have a fantastic holiday and we'll try to have a load of BFPs for you when you get back

Morningpaper - lol - nice to know there is someone here who tests even early than me! I'm being quite restrained at the moment as I am probably 6/7 dpo. Obviously desperate to test but know it would be a BFN and am trying to be good this month. Might even try and wait the ful 14dpo

Have fun with the MIL munnzie

2 exams down now and only one to go. roll on next thursday!

Hope everyone else is having a lovely Friday. We're having our house valued this afternoon so send positive big number thoughts this way!
