Well I have had spotting last few days, heavier today (although still not much) so I think that's it for this month.

Do we reckon today is day 1 or should the spotting count?

mags98 · 24/05/2008 17:00

Am wondering about doing the temps this month - usually use OPKs, will continue to to do that but maybe try the thermometer too. I really don't know if it is just going to be too much hassle though.

Squack · 24/05/2008 17:15

well I think I'll take my temp tomorrow morning just to see if it's up.

I'm pretty sure I'm O'ing today. The pain feels like it's happening. Maybe a GOF tonight or tomorrow as well.

If my temp is up I'll know I've O'd. I think it'll have to go above 98.0 to confirm it. Quite excited!

I have a lovely feeling this is the month Don't know why, I just do

Squack · 24/05/2008 17:17

if you do chart mags98, the fertility friend software is simple to use and then we can all stalk your chart as well

glaskham · 24/05/2008 17:21

What sort of thermometer do you use to temp 'down there' anyway?? I only ever used OPK's, luckily i didn't get PG last month....but i'm hoping i can talk DH round in the next week before i OV this month!! Yesterday he said we can start ttc soon if i decided i defo didn't want to be a surrogate for my other friends....

I'm in 2 minds.... We were looking forward to doing a surrogacy journey before having our 3rd, we planned to have a trip to disneyland with the kids after the birth before having our own, and ds is really looking forward to the holiday, but we can't really afford such a lavish holiday without being skint from now till then.... and a pretty stressful move could be on the cards, if we were expecting a baby while moving it might be too much to move and re-decorate etc with 2 toddlers and me expecting!! ARGH!!!! Decisions....

And my other friend is so lovely, and although we've only ever spoken over the phone and on msn i know a coupld of other surrogate friends who have met them at socials and conferences and say they are lovely!! I think i'd be a bit gutted if i decided to go for DC3 and they found a surrogate without me even meeting them to see if we 'clicked'....

come on ladies, give me some help!!!!

Squack · 24/05/2008 18:18

you need to use a basal body thermometer. Boots sell them for about £8. I got one off the internet which measures fahrenheit which I prefer, paid about the same.

lots of decisions for you there it seems glaskham.

kayzisexpecting · 24/05/2008 18:59

Hello, I got some Dime bars from the newsagents!! They are sooooooo yummy!!! I've also eaten a whole party size tube of BBQ sauce pringles.

CONGRATS!! MF1!!!!

Glaskham, I think you should meet your friend. You have nothing to lose by meeting her and seeing if you get on.

Been to the beach today so very very tired now. I also fell over and twisted my ankle. Its really hard to put weight on it.

Squack · 24/05/2008 21:21

well poas again and no smiley face, so I should see a temp rise tomorrow.

I hope I've caught the egg as we have only GOF'd this morning.
Time will tell I suppose, though I have a verrrrry strange feeling that I've done it this time, how odd?

Having a glass of wine watching Euro, waiting for Dh.

Hope you're all well, catch up tomorrow x

Moosma · 24/05/2008 21:24

Congratulations MF1

Mmmmmmmmmm Dime Bars [drools]

Wait for me Squack! If you're catching one now I'd better get a move on and get GOFing! DH is having his choice of events tonight (BJ again, ho hum) but perhaps there will still be time later, I'm sure he won't turn me down!

Squack · 25/05/2008 05:49

Temp up to 98.07, hooray for me! had to adjust for some simple feck being noisy outside at 4.30am, but it should still be okay.
CM now changed to watery so pretty sure I've O'd.
Cervix is still high but not as squishy.

Hope temp stays there. Still confused as to how I've managed to O on cd12, but there you go.

12 days to go

Keep everything crossed for me girls please, except Moos .
Hope you got lucky last night Moos .
Watch, you'll be up the duff this month and I won't

Moosma · 25/05/2008 09:22

Morning (I seem to have taken over from Nat here)

Sounds good Squack, I think your cevix is supposed to stay high and firm if you're up the duff!

Diege · 25/05/2008 09:23

Morning . Lol at moosma and squack's syncronised goffing . Will keep everything crossed for you!
Off to swee Spiderwick Chronicles with the older dds today - had initially refused it as had heard reports that is was very scary and should be a 12, but they have broken me down and it's on the £1 a ticket day so we'll see how it goes. Can always come out I suppose!
Really enjoyed Eurovision last night - anyone else watch? Hope to get some more stuff listed on e-bay - tis such a faff listing - but need the money desperately to fund my shopping addiction!
Speak later, diege x

Squack · 25/05/2008 09:34

It's a travesty that Latvia didn't win!

@ synchronised GOF

Have a nice day with the girls Diege x

Moosma · 25/05/2008 09:55

I didn't watch eurovision, who did win?

Right Squack, ready, steady, GOF!

Squack · 25/05/2008 10:06

I'd need a man in the house first!

If we are pg this month it'll be a feckin' miracle

Not half as much sex as we usually have . Last week was Sunday, Wed, Sat. That's it!!

I think the Ukraine won, but the Latvian's were dressed as pirates with a piratey-song...quality

I didn't know your cervix did anything to indicate pg, except turn a blue-ish colour after 2ww.

2ww are dead boring aren't they? I only took my temp this am to check whether I'd O, but I've put it away now.
If relaxing about it all got me an earlier O, I'm hoping relaxing about the next 12 days will get me a bfp.
Due a week on Friday so we'll see.

Do you reckon you've O'd then Moos?

Diege · 25/05/2008 10:09

diege feel like a voyeur. I'll look the other way .
Russia won. Me and dh had the usual debate about the political voting. I agree, there's some of that going on, but my argument is that certain parts of the world will prefer certain types of songs (ie. UK will be drawn more to 'western sounding' songs as that's what we're used to), as will Latvia population be more exposed to, for eg. Lithuania's top 10... hence why the baltics vote for baltics, UK for Ireland etc, etc..am I convincing anyone? To contradict all that, I though Turkey was a winner!
Right, off to cinema. Speak later!

Squack · 25/05/2008 10:16

When we're upthedoof Moos we can synchronise vomitting too hehehe!

Moosma · 25/05/2008 10:30

Squack, we did it Sunday, Tuesday, Saturday!

Not sure if I have or not, had loads of EWCM yesterday and cervix has been high for several days, but who knows??

tinkiszzzz · 25/05/2008 10:55

morning girls
russia won eurovision
we should definetly quit

tinkiszzzz · 25/05/2008 10:56

i just did old wives tale of holding a necklace above hand if spins in a circle girl if back and forth boy.
it went back and forth will have to wait and c
at parent this weekend have just sorted out my maternity bits from dd1 to take home.

lardylumps · 25/05/2008 11:27

Morning ladies... I know that I was doing something wrong with ff... bugger.... I am on CD6 today. Have had no GOF this month yet dd has been very poorly.

I am going to start using the OPK in two days so will hopefully start GOF then as well.

Squack that is really kind about the thermometer is the offer is still there I would love it (but need to know what CAT is though)

Glaskham i would keep the pregnacare because one way or another you will need them..

I am very sad at the moment. see here. I have been worried all weekend and wont be able to get to a gp until Wednesday now...

Squack · 25/05/2008 12:03

I've CAT'd you LL

send a reply with your address and I'll post it tomorrow.

Tink did you post your dpo symptoms up on the 2ww site. I'm thinking of keeping a little note of mine in case I have managed to get pg this month, then i think I'll post them up.

1dpo-dry and nothing to note.

lardylumps · 25/05/2008 12:08

I have my fingers crossed for you Squack... It all sounds so good and I am excited for you...

Teuch · 25/05/2008 12:08

Tink, we do that but with a ring on a piece of thread. I don't know how it works for you, but it indicates all of your babies, with a pause inbetween.

For example, it always does circle-pause-rock-pause-circle-pause-circle-pause-rock then stops, for my gran. T'is so acurrate it is spooky.

I always get girl-boy-girl, but I have DS so I assume that the mmc might have been a girl. I have been told many times that I have a baby in spirit around me

LL - have responded!

lardylumps · 25/05/2008 12:15

Thank you for your comments. Sorry if you were having lunch . I am going to take her wednesday as Tuesday is fully booked due to the bank holiday (probably all old people with corns. sorry didn't mean that but how can you get booked up over a weekend when the bloody place is shut).
