Morning ladies

Heartmum-really love Sophie (my DD2 ) Charlotte and Amelia for a girl. Undecided on the boys at the mo.

junanitad-people do not engage their brain before opening their mouths sometimes.

Not long until the scans.

Well, I got a +ive OPK last night. I am calling in +ive as it tends to be the only one I get so even though it is not mega dark I count it to be +ive. My CM yesterday was sticky and today more creamy but FF said prob not fertile on both temp and CM but fertile based on my +ive OPK. Do you think tonight should be the night????? Was laid awake all night thinking about it and waiting to take my temp to see if it had risen-it hadn't but if it does tomorrow then today (CD11) will be marked as OV day I should think. Will do an OPK tonight to check the darkness. Crikey, don't know what to do as we need to BD on OV day and the next then stop. Help!!!

Mum and dad here so got to go. Back later.

Love to all

HC - sounds like you need to go for it if you're after a blue swimmer! Perhaps tomorrow as well???

Good luck with that one mate! It's far too complicated for me. I would be lucky to catch any swimmer, never mind a pink one!

majormoo · 13/05/2008 13:54

all sounds a bit complicated HC but good luck with it!
Willmouse one of the mum's from school has just got back from a week in Turkey. It was cold and rained while here is was scorching. So top tip-do not book Turkey for May!!

Heartmum2Jamie · 13/05/2008 16:27

HC, I would go for it. I know you can get a poitive as early as 48 hours before you O, so get busy, lol!

Where is mjim, I haven't seen her around.

Willmouse, no I agree, I wouldn't do Turkey in May. They had the Grand Prix there this weekend and they said it was unseasonable cold, they were wearing coats and jumpers and we were playing in the paddling pool, lol! We tend to take our hols in September, but we are not held to the same rules as schools with regards to holidays. We always have great weather wherever we go in Septemeber, whether it is in the UK or abroad.

Hi ladies

Willmouse - we went to Turkey last July and it was unbelieveably hot. The hottest place I hae ever been anyway, up in the 40's a lot of the time! Not sure about May though.

HC - sounds about right. I am now a FF expert I think! CM should be egg white and get +ve OPK the day before ovulation and temp would rise the next day indicating ov has happened.

My body doesn't seem to play ball either, well everything else is right so temp should have gone up this morning but didn't! I have texted DP to say we need to BD again tonight....he hasn't replied! LOL (poor thing is knackered!)

Looking forwards to the scans coming up!

Hope MJIM is OK...has she posted on her ante natal thread?

Having a very healthy tea of chargrilled chicken breast, stuffed peppers and mini roast potatoes. Hope all this stuff helps keep any 'beanies' healthy! DP even bought himself a smoothie yesterday, the 1st in his life! He hates fruit normally LOL

HumphreysCorner · 13/05/2008 17:44

Afternoon ladies

Have been in the garden all day with mum and dad so very nice.

I think we will go for it tonight. Honestly, if I do fall PG eventually I will be happy with a girl or boy-am just trying to see if the theory works. Although, if DH has a low sperm count we will only have girls according to Hazel CF.

Yes, where is MJIM? Not like her to disappear for so long.

ChocEclair-don't think my DH would ever complain about too much BDing as he never gets any unless we are TTC. Poor lad! Hope both our temps rise in the morning.

willmouse-have never been to Turkey but have heard it is unbearably hot in August. Can't remember when you were planning to go.

Waves to everyone else-am off to get some tea ready and have a glass of Blossom Hill. Could watch Lost and swoon over Sayid. Have just watched last weeks Holby and drooled over Mr Cullen and Mr Spence.

Hello all - spent most of the day painting the playhouse - only to run out of paint so actually it is only half painted! 2 more sides to go. Not sure it will get finished before the rain comes as dd is at home all day tomorrow and painting and dd do not mix

Dh out tonight so going to catch up on some of my sky+ programmes - desperate housewives extravaganza in the bellie household tonight

fingers crossed for positive temp rises tomorrow!! xx lol HC dh is the same as yours - could never complain as only time is ttc!!

CE - dh has smoothies everyday - there was a programme on not too long ago where they showed that having a smoothie a day was positive for sperm production and therefore conception - you may have to tempt him some more with the choice of flavours!!

Willmouse - are you looking at hols for 2009? obviously I need to be more organised - thought I was doing well with having 2 booked this year by March!!

Hope everyone else ok - looking forward to scan news.

Off for my tv fest xx

Evening ladies

HC/CE - sounds like you might both need to be BDing tonight - hope that it works for both of you!

MJIM - see what happens when you disappear for a couple of days - we all get so worried! Glad you have had a lovely day - I guess days like this make it worthwhile being a SAHM! I know it was much easier looking after DS yesterday when we could go to the park, play in the garden etc - when it is winter, I find it so hard.

Hi to everyone else

36 hours to go until scan - can't you tell I can't wait for it!! I want you all to send me positive non-twin vibes on Thursday morning please

Was meant to be working from home tomorrow and was going to sneak a visit to my friend who had a baby girl last week but I have finished the work I was going to do so have to go into the office now - grrr! It is my friend's birthday aswell so it would have been a perfect day to go round. Have had to postpone it now until Thursday after my scan. Can't wait for a cuddle from a new-born baby!!

Baby names - still going with Cassie Rose for a girl and I think me and DH have agreed on Samuel (Sam) for a boy - but there is still 6 months to go so no doubt we will change our minds before then.

Right early night for me as I have a headache!!

ceebee74 · 13/05/2008 21:19

Ooh HC - it sounds like you might need to put some saucy underwear on

There you are myjob! I must make a better effort to remember that monday is your weekend, lol! It soundfs like you had a great day. It can be embarrassing when they are so tired they have a tantrum like that. Good luck for your scan on Thursday!

HC - at your dh!! Where has that come from? Just a bad day hopefully, but I like ceebee's idea of saucy undies.

Ceebee, best of luck for Thursday, I bet you are really excited! I have everything crossed that all is well and with MM having 3 (:0), I don't think you need to worry about twins. Oh, I love the name Samuel but my best friend son is called Sam (although he is just Sam as far as I know, a bit like Jamie is Jamie and not James). Sam's have a tendancy to be highly strung . I hope your headache eases soon, I had one all weekend with the heat, not nice.

Thankfully I am feeling better than I was easlier. I had a nasty pain in my left side, sort of above the hip and radiated around the back slightly. Even went to the dr who rules out obvious causes. He thinks I may have pulld something. He did insist on listening to the baby though, he obviously enjoyed himself and admitted he doesn't get the chance often as there is a nurse/midwife attached to the surgery. We very sweet of him and I never tire of hearing baby. Also feeling definate movement, the odd poke and prod as well as rolling and if in a position baby doesn't like, a proper kick. I LOVE it!

HumphreysCorner · 13/05/2008 21:35

DH has cleared off upstairs so will have to try the ceebee approach. He was all for it this morning.

Yay-we did the deed and my temp has soared this morning. It was a Tues and the girls are at MIL's for tea and DH has to bring them home-think it was a tad fraught. At least next month DH will be prepared for last minute action.

ChocEclair-how is yourb temp this morning?

Off for a well needed haircut then into town to get my hanging basket and pots flowers then to Tescos.

Love to all

glad to hear that it all worked out in the end HC. The saucy undies obviously worked .

HM2J - glad that you are ok now as well. It is scary when you arn't sure what the pains are isn't it?

ceebee - sorry that you have to go to the office today after all - sounds as though you had planned a nice day, although I am sure Thurs will be lovely when you have your scan photos to show too

Weather not so hot today - not sure what we are going to do - probably shopping although depends on the mood that dd is in...

Have a good one xx

Heartmum2Jamie · 14/05/2008 10:11

YAY HC!!! I hope the swimmers are doing their best to catch the eggy! Well done on talking him around...or maybe not much talking was involved

LOL Myjob! Yes, they must settle as they become men. My best friends son is a real cutie, but my goodness I am glad he isn't mine, he is more work than my two put together.

I was not sure what to do today, but as it is much chillier than last week, but equally beautiful, I think I will do the washing and some tidying up of the house while I feel good today.

Morning ladies

HC - glad the saucy undies did the trick Fingers crossed for you.

HM2J/MJIM - thanks for the advice about the name Sam DS is like a human tornado anyway so there is no way 'bump' can be as bad as him!! Just need a middle name now.

Glad you are all enjoying the sunshine whilst I am stuck in the office

I honestly feel like I am killing time until 9.30 tomorrow morning - not making me very productive at work though!

Anyway, must crack on trying to look busy
