Nope, bit of nausea every now and then, but can handle that

About to tuck into my 'chinese selection pack' from good old tescos! Yum!

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:11

Wow NJ, can't believe your DS has five back ones - is my DS a slow developer? Or are they all about to come rushing through? He still only has four front top, four front bottom, plus this one thats burst out on the side...

DS loves walking independently, we took him to the park at the weekend and he wouldn't go anywhere that there weren't daisies for him to pick! It was when I realised that he was eating them we headed in a different direction! And I wonder why he's ill, LOL!

NJ, I'm not really sure when I'm due on: this is my fourth cycle since Christmas and since starting to TTC, cycle one was 31 days, cycle 2 was 41 days, cycle 3 was 31 days again. Pre DS I had 28 day cycles!

I'm on CD24 so AF due anytime from this Saturday through till week on Tuesday which is AAAAAGGGGEEEESSSSS away, moan, sigh, groan, .

OOoh and must share my yummy made up lunch recipe with you....

Left over cold roast gammon and potatoes, fried in butter with a mushroom and some cherry tomatoes. Add two whisked eggs and scramble together as can't be bothered to heat up grill just to make a pretty omelette. Add grated cheese, then serve with some cold leftover onion sauce.

YUM YUM YUM!

tinkishopeful · 06/05/2008 13:16

very impressive cal i had dolmoi microwavable pasta n sauce

Squack · 06/05/2008 13:28

bfn, not even a squinty whiff of pink

just checked my cp to see if there's anything on it's way down. High/medium, have no clue whether it should be.

Creamy cm.

Guess I'm just waiting then

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:30

Squack, got DH to check my CP last night and he said it was High/medium...then he was turned on so we GOF'd - LOL.

Oh well, keeps all basis covered.

Only thing is, I'm not sure what that means anyway!!

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:31

Squack - did you use FMU? Its no good if you don't you know. Where are you in your cycle?

Squack · 06/05/2008 13:32

well I'm glad we have similar cp's even if that means absolutely nowt to either of us.

I'm rather annoyed at Dh I suspect this is all his fault!!

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:32

I'm going for the record number of consecutive posts by the way, if someone doesn't respond, I'll just keep posting .

Tink - never tried those, I guess they're ok then - is pasta not a bit rubbery?

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:33

Aha, rumbled with a response, was just about to post another random post!

What is all DH's fault?

Squack · 06/05/2008 13:34

the fact I'm not up the squack!

calsworld · 06/05/2008 13:37

Lol Squack! Where are you in your cycle, is AF due yet? Did you use First Morning Urine for the test you did today?

Starshinetiger · 06/05/2008 13:49

Afternoon all - just a quick one from me, as should be working, but it's so beautiful outside, wish I wasn't!
Squack - it's not over til AF appears! NJ & Squack, sorry for your LOs disturbed nights.
Cals, don't worry about teeth coming through. DS went one at a time til he had 4 top and bottom, then got about 4 through at once at ca. 17-19 months, plus they're all different, as a friend of ours DS only had one tooth at a year.
Ooh, I'm hoping so much for BFPs for you all, as I'm living through them!
I saw GP last Weds and she was going to refer me, how long do you think I should wait for notification from Clinic for appt? I'm guessing about 2 weeks on NHS before I follow it up. Really frustrating thing is that I'm kind of in training where I work and doing the same job as people who qualify for private medical insurance, but I'm not at that grade so don't get it. I'm quite happy going NHS, but just frustrating to know that I could just get it all sorted much quicker if I was private. Right, moan over, I know that there are lots of people worse off than me.
Hope you've not been waking up early still NJ. I think you're having a girl by the way with your different pg symptoms to before - well, I've got a 50/50 chance of being right - unless you're having twins of course...
Back to work I s'pose.

tinkishopeful · 06/05/2008 14:03

squack could be still to early to test crossing fingers for you
pasta is really nice and tasty not rubbery atallcal

Squack · 06/05/2008 14:52

He's simply not good enough! Clearly the 3 children we do have are all my own doing lol.

I'm due today Cal. ff reckons tomorrow based on last months cyce but that was a cp and i'm normally LP11.

No it wasn't fmu, but tbh i would've thought there would be at least a smidge of colour but nothing at all.

Simply an evaporation line mocking me with it's ghostliness

Thing is i don't feel either pg or periody, just annoyed

calsworld · 06/05/2008 15:02

Lol squack, there's hope yet. When did you get BFP's with the others? They all vary don't they - NJ's BFP was famously 9 days post AF and my DS was 2 days post AF, with two clear BFN's on the two days previous.

FMU for you in two days time if no AF by then I reckon . (Yeah, like you'll make it through tomorrow without POAS!)

Feeling annoyed is a good sign - hormones etc... Not feeling periody is a good sign too!

Fingers crossed for us both. x

kayzisexpecting · 06/05/2008 15:06

Cal, DS has got 4 teeth on the top and 5 on the bottom. We have only just noticed the 5th one as its right at the back. It probably caused his grumpiness lat week.

Don't you just love mothers. Dh is on lates this week so mum sent me a text asking if I wanted to go for dinner tonight. YAY!! No cooking.

calsworld · 06/05/2008 15:12

Oh, jealous of you and your mum being close together, mine is 3.5 hrs drive away so I really miss out.

Seems like DS maybe growing some teeth then, don't know why I didn't think of that before, he's VERY snotty!

Squack · 06/05/2008 15:17

Well with dd I'm not certain but I think it might've been 12/13dpo roughly, basically I knew I was late so tested, could've been +ve before that tho'.

Ds1 was 10dpo

Ds2 was off pill for 11 days and then tested +ve.

I'll do one tomorrow with fmu if nothing turns up tonight & then every morning thereafter in all liklihood.

I think if I get a temp above 98.7 I'll be happy.

Next cycle I'm not going to temp or opk at all.

I've rang Dh at work and told him it's all his fault . He said he'll try harder.

kayzisexpecting · 06/05/2008 15:18

My mum is about 15 minutes away. Or 3 hours as DS now wants to walk everywhere. When I out him in is pushchair he cries and kicks his legs around.

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 06/05/2008 15:20

afternoon all weather here is bliss today! we went into chichester its so nice being off

OP posts:
calsworld · 06/05/2008 15:51

LOL Kay - you brought that on yourself by teaching how to walk!!!

DS is really chilled, he's happy in the pushchair as long as I keep walking, gets really bored if I stop though and wants to get out then, so if looking at things I have to walk up and down or round and round past it, until I can determine if I want it or not LOL!

I don't want to do anymore work, its all going a bit tits up today . I work so hard its just a shame everything has to be an uphill battle grrrrrrrrr.

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 06/05/2008 16:07

Meeely2 · 06/05/2008 16:09

knocks on the door shyly - hi girls, can I join in?

1st cycle of TTC (please bear with me, only just learning your acronyms!), AF was due Sunday, I have tummy ache, bloated and grumpy, tested the evening of Monday, BFN with an ebay cheapy strip thing....no AF today either, but still low down ache. I know waiting and second guessing can make your body misbehave, but should i invest in some better tests?

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 06/05/2008 16:14

hi meely welcolme!! i would get a first response just to be sure
