Temping buddies 12- What's all the Broo-har with Hoo-Har temping? BFP's please!

[Squack]

YAY! More tempers! Hi Notsonew!!! Good to see you

I'm not sure about collective temping genius - we all tend to rely on Lottie and on Sorky when she comes round to say hi.

Best of luck for this month!

And now we just need a northerner!

Hello NotSoNewAnymore I have added you on the list, so that I am not at the top anymore!! tee hee. Add in your temp/ LP (luteal phase = no of days from Ovulation to Period) and cycle no etc when you post your temp.

minix waves. I know what you mean about how long you have been trying. I use different values depending on who I am talking to!!! If is is medical staff then I say we've been trying for 2 years, but actually it will only be 2 years at end of August. My cycle changed shape drastically when I first started temping this time round last March (Mar07) which was when I joined this thread. Since then my 30 day cycle/ LP14 went AWOL and became this useless 24 - 27 day LP 7 - 9 . So in fact we have only been trying for 7 months then I started temping and then 5 months on clomid. the bit in the middle we couldn't get pregnant!! Yes I like your logic it is very comforting.

The clomid is going OK when I remember to take it properly (last 2 out of the 5 have been ropey). We are really going to make an effort this cycle to avoid ending up as lab rats, but equally it is our best course forward.

Lottie big hugs babe. Your time will come and when it does it will be worth this painful wait. Oh and NHS have to give you an appointment within I think 8 weeks of your GP referal. if that is any comfort.

ttfn back with a report from hospital later.

Welcome, NotSoNew! Hope you're enjoying the warm (if a little humid) weather. Big wave to everyone else.

minxi good to hear from you - hope the 'low-key' temping approach works for you this month

Re telling people how long you've been ttc - I've always wondered - do you always include the months you've not bothered trying for one reason or another?

Thanks for the welcome! It is rather warm here today...I shouldn't complain - I hope this weather keeps up as we are going camping this weekend.

hello LBOT (and everyone else!)

I don't know what to tell people - not that anyone is asking! - about how long we've been trying. I went off the pill in October, but we didn't start trying until January - got PG first shot, but then miscarried in March. Waited one cycle and then started TTC. So this is our third cycle since the mc - if you count the mc, it's offically four cycles, but it's been 6 months since January! Who knows!

Lottie! Happy Birthday!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and your DH spoils you rotten!

Well, news for you - another neg OPK! Guess we'll give it a try again tomorrow, but I'm not thinking I o'd around CD15...

Happy Birthday Lottie! I hope you have a great day. Do you have any special plans for this evening?

I like that logic on time taken to TTC. We have been trying since October last year (which is 8 months ago) but with the previous pregnancy and mc, it has actually only been 5 months of ttc. That makes me feel slightly better - it feels like it has been going on forever...

Have a lovely time, Lottie - it all sounds idyllic. are you staying in a sweet little B&B with a four poster bed? Would be so romantic to conceive a little one in that setting

Just the stats for the moment. I'm off to a meeting with planners. I'll check back in later.

Can't leave without saying "hi" to NotSoNew, though

good luck with your planning, Yarnie!

PMSL, Lottie! I think it was just about the time you signed on...you might've heard the walls rattling Actually, was super pleased last night because shortly after Dh got in, I had a trip to the bathroom only to find real proper EWCM. I know I've said that before, but there was really no mistaking it this time! And I promise it wasn't leftover semen! So naturally I jumped him - I think it was a well-timed GOF Despite that negative OPK

Anyway, how is everyone else this morning?

Actually, there was a helicopter flying overhead last night quite a lot - did you hear it? That could've been what was causing the rattling!

Morning everyone! (Oops...it is afternoon already!)

lottie so glad you had a good birthday - your weekend sounds lovely and so well timed...don't forget to leave the B&B at least once....tear yourselves away from that fourposter bed to get some fresh air and energy

LBOT great news on the EWCM, I agree that it is a much more reliable sign than an OPK. It can be quite easy to miss the surge on an OPK.

How did the planning meeting go yarnie ?

Am loving the Rattling that is going on around London...want my boring AF to end so I can get onto the fun stage of my cycle!

I had reflexology last night - so feel really relaxed and chilled today. Really feel like it is making a difference...

Woohoo, I finally got a on my OPK!

So I guess I DO actually ov around CD18 then!

Get in, LBOT!

Here's another couple for good measure!

great news LBOT

now stop posting and get busy

I think my DH's co-workers ~might~ raise an eyebrow if I stormed into his office and dragged him out for a quick shag!

Evening all, got halfway through writing a post last night but ran out of time before actually going out for a drink with a girlfriend which was fab. Really must get out more often.

OK consultant visit was sort of as expected. with no more help now from NHS and on to private clinics. However he did reckon chances on IUI working are slim to nil and that we are much more likely to conceive with IVF.

Big dilema as before meeting I would have said we would not go down that route. However now I realise how much I really want another baby and I am not sure our relationship would stand up to me 3-5 years from now wishing I had had a go at IVF and feeling DH was not up for it.

Bless his heart as I poured all this out while driving back, he just listened and later said that if I am thinking that I want to try IVF at some point then we will have to try. I think he realises ,as do I now, that although I think our boy is amazing and a really precious gift from God, I need to feel that we have tried every avenue to give us the best chance of having another. If all that fails I think then I will be able to let it go and look at adoption.

So that is honest for you.

Now off to post on the IVF boards to get advice on choosing a clinc

Oh forgot to say big shout to LBOTs ovulation and glad you had a good bday lottie.

Hello everyone. Sounds like it's been a busy couple of days! LBOT well done for jumping DH despite the OPK reading - fingers crossed it was timely.
Lottie, sounds like you had a fab birthday. I've heard of the Gaucho Grill - it's quite posh isn't it? Hope you made the most of good food and booze
Nappy I'm curious to know why your doc reckons IVF over IUI - why does he not think the latter would work, if you don't mind me asking?
Notsonew glad your reflexology is having the desired effect.
Yarnie hi!

Well, my news is that I broke all resolve and peed on another stick today - and got a very very very faint line, but within ten minutes this time. I'm being very cautious as the last time I was pregnant I got a very definite line within about five seconds on the day my period was due and this one just seems a bit too faint for my liking . I have another stick left to pee on and will try my hardest to wait until Friday FMU when hopefully things will be more conclusive. Fingers crossed!
