NJ's done it now,we're all heading that way! - Tests,temping and tantrums - a thread for ppl TTC and waiting!

[nobodyputsBBinthecorner]

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

Oh Squack, where's your willpower?! I hope you're going to test with a proper strong FMU soon

Oh Cals, it is shit isn't it? I know my DH never has a clue about any of this, that's why we're all here, virtual shoulders and all that

Having said that, he was lovely this evening, I was soaking my sunburn in the bath when he came home with a takeaway for himself (he'd missed tea) and brought me a satay chicken skewer [yummy]

I nearly slipped up earlier, I was talking to a couple of friends and one said she was sometimes tempted to have another, I said I was too and nearly blurted out the whole plan, but just caught myself in time. I hope she does have another, it's nice to have a friend at the same stage isn't it?

Anyway enough rambling from me, g'night!

Good morning! Hopefully will be able to get on more today, byut wanted to wish Kay good luck for the scan. I am 100% sure you will be fine

morning diege

what a crap temp guessing af is coming after all

Hmm Tink, see what you mean . Presume if pregnant it doesn't drop at all?? Is it that exact a science?
Off to do school run, back later.

there are other charts on ff with drops going up and down and they got pregnant.
is still above coverline
well i had spotting on 8dpo and 10dpo unless an inplantation dip?

Hiya everyone, Glorious day outside, gonna get deep cleaning today

My temp is down today as well Tink, but like yours, it's still above coverline.

I haven't tested this morning, after I saw my temp I thought I'd wait until either I come on or the weekend.

My Persona is giving me the 'm' sign indicating to expect my period today or tomorrow which is weird because I thought my LP was 11, but 13/14's gotta be a bit better so I'm not too bothered.

Go compare your chart Tink for just 'coverline' and see what it says, there might still be hope, it might show you pg charts.

What is your usual LP? I remember you saying it was a 55 day cycle.

Can you put last months chart on your FF front page as well?
Or overlap them for a comparison, that might be helpful to you, then you can see if this month is following the same pattern or whether that last temp is a rogue one

morning all my internet went down last night just afer id said hi!!! how bloody annoying!

so welcome all newbies! did i miss any tests?

kays i really hope ( and know - BB psychic powers) scan will be great x

squack this is my first chart temping
so dont have any others to compare and i dont know what lp i am
cheers for reasurrance just worried as it is so near coverline.
compared my coverline to charts on ff

miscrg-2%
ovu-70%
preg-26%

Ah Tink the first chart is the most infuriating because you never know where you stand, grr!

Well looks like we're both 'waiting and seeing' then eh?

Kayz, GOOD LUCK for your scan, wave hi to your bean for us

Have a lovely day everyone

right off for a picnic today so got to get ready! laters all!

Just a quick hello, haven't got time to catch up, was looking to see if Kay had got back yet.

Skip is here - at last, just a shame the bloke who delivered it (half an hour ago) is still outside chatting away to DH, so I thought I'd chat as well!

Got a bit more to do in the gardens, then get the junk we have piled up into the skip, then DH is cleaning the gutters/windows while I do the last bit of tidying up around the house, and I think we are done! Am bloody knackered but it's been worth it!

Hope everyone is well Will catch up properly when I get a minute xxx

hey all, still no AF for me either, but sitting on my hands til the weekend at least. I was looking back at the last time I was pregs and it's give me hope that I have miscalculated when i OV this month, so could still be very early days in pregs if I am, hence the BFN i been getting on cheapy tests.

I won't go into detail, it made my head hurt earlier, but looks like I don't ovulate til around CD22/23 and my LP is only like 10 days. which would mean, I ovulated around the 25th April maybe even later....so who knows....

Hi Everyone

Nat, have fun working in the garden, tis perfect weather for it!

Kay, hope your scan is going ok?

Cosmos, the waiting is going ok. There are moments when it seems unbearably hard and moments when I feel like I can do it and its not so bad. This summer weather is a blessing and a curse. On the plus side being able to go home after work and have a few drinks in the garden is lovely, it makes me think how nice it will be to have another summer where I can drink and eat what I fancy, go where I want when I want and generally relax with just DH and I. On the negative side all the mums are out pushing their babies in prams, I can't go anywhere without seeing them and I am finding that hard because I just want that to be me! Well my turn will come, less than 4 months to go till Sept now!

Squack - I can't believe you gave into testing!!! Be strong, wait as long as you can and when you can't wait any longer make sure you use FMU.

Cal - share and vent away, its what we are all here for, otherwise ttcing can be such a lonely process.

Hi to everyone else!

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1f3edd

could i have some comment on my chart please ladies so worried that this means the end and that the evil witch as come after all

Aww Tinks, I really don't know enough about this temping lark to be aboe to offer any constructive advice! Surely if temp is still above coverline though this is OK? I suppose the only way you're going to know is by waiting it out..sorry I can;t be of more help!
Hi Meeely! Don't think I've said hello, but welcome! You sound like you know where your cycle (may be) at, so fingers crossed!
Hi Nat, BB, Playing! Know what you mean Playing about all the babies in their prams. Saw friend at school this morning with her gorgeous baby girl (no.4 LO) and she reassured me by saying 4 really isn;t that much harder than 3! We both agreed going from 0 to 1 is the hardest...so make the most of you summer Playing
Still waiting for smear result ; need it asap so that I can get on with it!!! Was yours OK yesterdsay Moosma?
Right, must get some work done - feeling v.lazy today!

thanks *diege for comment anyway
good luck for smear results

hi ladies

i am going to keep being positive.
dont feel af dragging feeling
abdomen still pulling etc
me & dh noticed last nite that my breast areolas are raised and middle looks redder

hi diege, thanks for positive vibes - tinks good luck chick.....i think I will be able to wait til saturday, family are visiting, so if AF is coming, sods law will mean it arrives then, if it doesn't then test Sunday morning.........

THe symptoms are looking good Tink, so fingers crossed your temp stays above that coverline!

Hello all! Nice to see some new faces, although it will take me a while to remember all the names .

I am a bit in limbo at the moment...not seen MW yet, have questionable symptoms and one minute feel very pg then the next, think I am making it up . I have been getting a persistent niggle in my left side, not strong enough to be painful, just enough for me to keep thinking...hmmm...two friends recently had ectopic pg so I guess I am a bit over-aware, if you know what I mean.

I'm off to search MN for how I was feeling at this stage last pg

thanks *meeely same to you i am testing sat
thanks teuch i have read that it is normal to have some symptoms then they can go for a while and come back how many wks are you?

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE A HEARTBEAT!!!!!

Its so tiny but absolutely perfect for my dates.

On the downside I feel very very sick as I get awful travel sickness on buses. I feel like death but I am very very happy!!

Kay - So pleased!!

I'm 6 weeks, Tink.

Yay! for Kayz and her hearty bean!!!!

Feeling sick is good, try to enjoy it....with every vomit the bean is still going strong....or at least that's what I told myself when I was ill with hyper-emesis.

'Course at the time I vaguely remember shouting to Dh that I had changed my mind about wanting a baby and would he please poke it out .

It was actually that bad .

Excellent news Kay So pleased for you, and a heart beat too!! Did you get a chance to stop off at the beach?
Teuch - I had sharp pains low down on the left side until about 12 weeks. remeber being quite worried and mnetioning it to sonograpoher who gave me a withering look in response to my concerns about ectopics. Words to the effect of 'if it was you wouldn;t be here now love' . Seriously though, all the ligaments are having a field day at the moment, hence the niggles etc .
Well af has just arrived, so just hope I get my smear result by the time I've ovulating! The bloomin' NHS have no idea what we're going through do they

I second Diege with the sidey-niggles being ligaments stretching.

iirc it happens around 6 weeks with subsequent pg's doesn't it? Something about your body does everything a bit quicker as it knows what to do iyswim.
