[Broodybabywannabe]

Here we go ladies! hope titles ok!

Lets hope for more BFPS!!

so even if i have had ewcm for a week,tingly breasts,increased sex drive,emotional and abdominal twinges
i may still of not ovualted?

I think from all of your signs you have to put some faith into believing you have OV'ed, but it might not harm to carry on temping/OPK's just to make sure you don't miss out.

I know you can have the signs and not OV, but when so many signs are pointing to OV, I think you just have to go with it.

cheers nj i am still going to temp and gof

Good plan

I am missing my GOF's Especially because I have no idea what is going on with me OV'ing or not, and I have some crampiness that I don't ever get unless period is here, but it can't be that because even if I'd OV'ed as normal, it is too early for my period, and AFAIK, I haven't even OV'ed yet....

Your body can gear up for O Tink hence all your symptoms (for want of a better word), but not actually release an egg, which is why your cycle looks anovulatory atm.

With a previous 55 day cycle and this one looking like it's going to be the same, you may not actually O until cd 41-42.

Wondering whether you've O'd is horrible isn't it?

I've been there before, but thinking about whether you've O'd everyday can delay it even further, which is a pita.
The cycle it happened to me I did O in the end, though only when I had given up hope and wrote the cycle off, funnily enough.

Good luck and try not to think about it, I'm sure it'll creep up on you when you least expect it

we have gofd cd8,10,16,21,25,27,28,30 and 33

I ordered FR and CB digi from t'internet and CB digi came today...

I have my result in real words...nice

Awwwww, I am sooo pleased for you Teuch, kept thinking about you last night while I was supposed to be watching shitey film with DH (Run Fat Boy Run, dreary beyond measure), that first night you find out you're pregnant, nothing beats it (except at the other end of pregnancy!)

how excited teuch

feel like i am swimming in ewcm today did bd last nite dont know if that has made a difference

Are you sure it is EWCM and not ahem, DH's baby batter ? It can be very hard to tell the difference by sight alone.

I am swimming in good old CM, not EW by any means, but I guess something is happening to have a lot of CM? (Some one please just say "Yes Nat something is happening" just to shut me up, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee )

Squacky, I've started a new game of Scrabulous with you so I can beat you again

Does anyone else play? I'm quite hooked on Connect 4 now too

Nat, wasn't it you saying the other day that nonEWCM is good so long as it's slippery and plenty of it? Maybe you're building up to some EW? I don't know, I can't even tell if I've OV'd or not let alone somebody else!

feck off how lovely to see you Moos

I'll head over there now. I didn't think you'd ask me again as I'm so slow and useless at it lol.

Ooh invite me for connect4, I love that too.

Who else is on fb? I fancy some new friends

(I'm thoroughly beatable at almost all games)

How are you feeling btw?

Feeling ok, just a bit grumpy whenever I think about AF/OV etc. DD1 has had a few weeing accidents in the last few days so I'm being extra nice to her today so she doesn't have to attention-seek thus ruling out a UTI (clever huh?)

Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Kept thinking yesterday that hopefully by this time next year, we will have a bun in the oven to celebrate with exciting thought!

Playing - glad you are getting excited too. Even less time for you to wait. Who knows, we might end up on an AN thread together.

Diege - Definitely no need for the 't' word. This is my first cycle off birth control pill. Think I'm CD 68 today, but had tons of EWCM on day 60, so hoping that was OV. Was very surprised by it, as having been on pill for 8 years, have never experienced it before [not that I can remember at least]. Plus haven't GOFed much lately, and when have, we've used condoms.

Teuch - Really happy for you! Must be great to see the word appear on your test! Yey.... Who's next??

OK moos found it and am over there now, your go.

I have a bit of a headache starting and it hasn't gone away with painkillers. I think AF is on her way

i am on facebook would love to be your friend on there

Hi Cosmos, glad you had a good anniversary. I am truly getting excited now, it feels so much closer and although in a sense waiting seems to be getting easier as it gets closer AF seems harder to deal with. I am on CD3 and when AF came this time I actually felt really disapointed. Have no idea why, have only had "safe" sex last month and wasn't in the least bit expected to be pg but still somehow I felt a little low.

I am also doing the next year I will should have a baby thing, all the time, its actually getting really sad now.

And... I have even started getting really fed up with the whole pub scene and am finding some of my mates (I mean mates, not close friends) really hard work at the moment as everything seems to revolve around the pub and/or getting pissed, I just find myself so tired of that lifestyle. I feel so much older than them, even though I am in fact 10 or even 15 years younger than some of them. I suppose I just have less in common with them now, they look forward to pay day so they can spend more down the pub, I am starting to resent spending more than a £5 down the pub cos it seems like I am wasting money I could be saving for the LO on a pursuit I am rapidly loosing all interest in! Don't get me wrong I still like my glass of wine or 3 but I think my middle aged mind is starting to rebel against pretending to be young and carefree when actually its the last thing I really want to be anymore. TBH I think that this is the first time I have actually realised all this and probably why I was such a grumpy sod down the pub last night! I am sure I can't be alone in thinking all this but its a conversation you never have in RL so I think you can end up feeling really alone, its not as if I have any friends with kids who I can talk to about it. Waiting ttc when you are desperate to start is actually quite lonely, thank god for MN!

Squacky, I am on FB but don't really want to let my RL details out on MN. I don't have kids yet and people don't know I am planning to start trying soon and I don't want them to find out. Sorry, sure I will be more relaxed when if I am pg.

Anyway, that was a very me me me post and having just come back to this after doing a spot more work I think I am loosing the plot. Still I think I will press send anyhow...

hi playing i am not really into going down the pub either and especially not spending money on drink.
i dont drink at all unless @ a special occasion/party

Hi Tink, sorry about the slightly psycho post!! Its just the pub is the primary meeting ground, its where all my mates are to be found. I know I can walk into the pub anytime of the day and find someone in there I know. I am just finding the whole thing boring now and hard work but my whole social network is centred around it, if I stop going out then I am really isolating myself. I think its really a sympton of wanting family, I don't just want a baby, I want the whole family lifestyle, which is probably why I am getting fed up with the "young, free and single" lifestyle.

Maybe I need to make some new friends that I have more things in common with . Not sure how the hell I would even go about doing that though! I do want to stress that I do have really close old friends who I can relate to and share at least some of this with but none of them live locally so we only see them a few times a year. Why does it just get harder to meet like minded people as you get older?

thats ok thats what we rae here for
i have 3 close friends from school/college that all live an hour away who i see once a month and a group of mums who i see once a week

Yeah, I probably do see old friends once or twice a month. I have 5 really good old college friends and I see them individually about 3-6 times a year (depending on how far away they live as none of them still live in our home town) which means I am seeing one of my old friends aprox every 3 weeks. I also am really good friends with 2 old work colleagues (who are a couple) who I see every 4-8 weeks. I do have my family who I socailise with too (brother and sister). Then of course I have my circle of about 10-15 pub mates, some of whom I am closer to than others, but I would not count any of them as a truly good friends. So its not like I am short of mates/friends but I don't have a truly good friend who lives in the same town as me. Which is why my pub mates do play an important role, as I see them 1-3 times a week. It would be far too lonely, to cut out the pub mates altogether as I would probably only do something socially every other week then, well maybe a little more than that but still I would be very reliant on out of town old friends. I think I need to be pro-active and get to know more people who I might have more things in common with, maybe I will invite my neighbour rounds for dinner to get to know them?
