here we are all in honour of NJ's BFP!!

so your CYCLE can be longer or shorter depending on when you OV, but your period 'should' come the same number of days after OV if your LP is constant? I think I get it.

Happies Nappies, this is my first month of trying for number 3 (we have twin boys), but the boys weren't planned so I have absolutely no experience in TTC at all, was hoping it would just happen - been off pill for a few months, this was first month of actively 'going at it!' and i thought i was a 31 day cycle - 31 days was up on Sunday, still no AF, but no BFP either.

Meeely2 · 07/05/2008 15:31

OH! well I've had some of that last few days, but thats like 31 days after last AF?? Should I drag DH home and just do it anyway?

happynappies · 07/05/2008 15:33

Hi Meely and welcome - have you tested then? you must have as you say no BFP... did your cycle sort of stabilise at 31 days after being on pill then?

happynappies · 07/05/2008 15:34

sorry Meeely, missed an 'e'!

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 15:52

My MIL is normally a pain but she took us today and she is having DS overnight tonight so we don't have to get up really early to get to the hospital.

So how has everyone else been?

Moosma · 07/05/2008 15:53

Afternoon all! I am hot and pink! Been sitting outside the pub all afternoon so the house is still a tip and nothing's getting done

It's been lovely though and I deserve a treat as I have the dreaded smear test later this afternoon. I haven't had one since about 4 years ago and that one apparently didn't get enough cells so I'm not looking forward to this one - gotta be done though

Right, I'm off to laze about in the sun some --more- get stuff done.

Welcome Meeely!

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 07/05/2008 16:16

afternoon all!!

Meeely2 · 07/05/2008 16:19

happynappies, yeah i stabilised at 31 days, but only had 2 cycles before this one. We been at it like Rabbits all month, I am certainly surprised that I might not be pregs, but hey ho, lets just sit on our hands and wait a few days longer.....

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 16:28

Afternoon BB!

Squack · 07/05/2008 16:33

Hmm I'm just wondering whether my chart is going triphasic?

Comparing last months chart to this one, I should have been spotting today with full bleeding tomorrow.

So wait n see will be the order of the day for me

I'll have a bit of hope if I'm clean tomorrow with a still high temp. Anything over 98.6 will be great, as temp should plummet tomorrow if cycle is a bust.

I've been comparing my chart to those on ff (as you do) since 9dpo and the percentage of Ovulatory/Pregnancy/Miscarriage charts was about 77%/20%/13%

I've been comparing ovulation/coverline/intercourse data.

Today it's 66% pregnancy, 33% miscarriage!!
Just for fun I know, but a little hopeful all the same

Tink go do it to yours and see what the %'s are (click Ov+Coverline+intercourse).
I bet yours is 80% pregnant or something similar

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 16:36

evening all (I sound like a policeman). I think I spotted some EWCM on the 12th and last day of gof before we stopped was 9th so I dont think I will get anything but AF this month.

I am not worried though as I had planned to get back on the waggon so I am fine with it.

Cant wait until next month though ..

Welcome to all the new ladies [wave], you are gonna love this thread!!

glaskham · 07/05/2008 16:44

i'm enjoying it already....i'm very exited to do my final insem for the month tonight and i just hope it works first time, i concieved both my 2 without ttc, they just happened!!

So actually getting to know my body etc is quite nice for me, never done anything like this until surrogacy!! I'm only testing with OPK's but this month i did start looking at CM too...and noticed a change late last ngiht only to find i'd finally got a +ive OPk this morning!!!

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 16:45

Kay I am so sorry about your bleeding. Are they doing a scan tomorrow?

Squack · 07/05/2008 16:49

Welcome to all the new gals!

Hi everyone, weathers been beautiful here today. LO is still teething but last night wasn't as bad.

I'm trying to hold my pee for another 2 hours!!

Or should I just wait until tomorrow?

Playingthewaitinggame · 07/05/2008 16:58

yep you're getting it meeely. There is a fertility book that everyone keeps recommending on here (which I havent read) which might be worth a read, I'm sure someone knows the name on here!

Squack, I'm gonna go against the grain and risk upsetting NJ to say I think you shouls wait till tomorrow. Your get a clearer result and if you are pg you will still be pg tomorrow. But if you do it tonight and get a BFN, you'll still think you just tested too early or not with FMU so ignore it.

Afternoon BB

Kay, sorry about not getting your scan, hope tomorrow goes ok.

Squack · 07/05/2008 17:00

You know me soooo well Playing .

Wait it is then

Playingthewaitinggame · 07/05/2008 17:09

right our servers crashed at work so I can't get on the system, the sun is shining outside, so I am going to go home and sit in the garden!

Have a nice evening ladies!

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 17:14

Squack test now........... that is the rule of this thread...

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 17:17

Yeah I am getting a scan tomorrow at 9. I can't wait to get it done.

DH is treating me to a takeaway tonight as he is trying to cheer me up.

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 17:20

Oh Kay I really hope all goes well for you. I am sure you will be fine. Just tell your dh that sex is off the agenda for a couple of weeks.

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 17:21

I'm sure its fine too. The doctors at A&E think so too.

How are you?

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 17:29

Im fine. Loving the weather. DD and I have been out everyday walking or to the park.

DP is finding his new job a bit taxing. He has been in the trade for 15 years and knows what he is doing but they are treating him as if he is new to it all which is causing him some grief at the moment. He came home today really stressed after having a run in with one of the guys there.

I am sure it will all work out in the end but glad we put off TTC this month as the last thing he needs when he gets home is me hassling him.

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 17:32

I am loving the weather too. The hospital is in Scarborough so we are right near the beach. I might have to go to the beach after the hospital tomorrow.

It must be horrible knowing what to do but being treated like you don't know what you are doing.

lardylumps · 07/05/2008 17:52

Oh kay that sounds lovely. Will your mum have ds for the day and you and dp can spend the day at the beach. You could have a lazy lunch in a restuarant on the sea front?

kayzisexpecting · 07/05/2008 17:54

My MIL is having him as I am meant to be at work and she had organised to take him to see SIL as its her birthday. So we can have a relaxed day hopefully.
