Diege - AF CD1! - just seeing that really made me feel more positive. A bit scared but at least a bit back in control of what was happening.

Cal - all your talk of the work you, DH and Ds havedone in the garden - made me tired just reading it! Sounds v impressive though!

I did get out on my bike - another 2 miles. Could have done more actually but wanted to get back for 100m final! Glad I did - he looked like he was strolling the last 10 metres and he still broke the WR!

Tomorrow we're meeting up with my brother and SIL. They're down for the weekend from Cumbria so it's good to meet up with them. We're going to take our dogs for a walk - our two cocker spaniels and their chocolate lab. It normally gets a bit mad but they do get on v well. (That probably applies to DH and my brother as well as the dogs actually!)

we have booked a 3d scan for 27th of sept when i will be 25 wks

Hi all,
Lost you again so quick message to get me back on board! I'm all of a muddle AGAIN this cycle - I am on CD35 and still no sign on AF and got a BFN with a FR this morning, having convinced myself I must be pg with such a long cycle (never gone on this long before). Actually losing sleep over it which can't be good either way! I know I probably need to chill out about it, but SO HARD to do!

Hope you all enjoy XFactor tonight - my lovely ILs have offered to babysit DD tonight so DH and I can go out for a rare restuarant meal.

Back home on Monday so hope to be a bit more of a regular wagoner again!

SesQal · 16/08/2008 18:21

Great to hear from you kooky but sorry you're feeling a bt mixed up. I know what you mean about chilling, and the more you tell yourself to chill, the harder it is sometimes! Meal out for you and DH sounds good. Hope the kittens doing ok!

Dalrymps · 16/08/2008 21:35

Wow thatnks for the warm welcome everyone!
I'm off to look on that fertility site now, my thermometer arrived this morning .
Went to visit our niece today, she's 3 and a half months younger than ds and soooo sweet. It got me thinking, I wonder if we'll have a boy or girl next time? I can honestly say I really don't mind, I would be delighted to have either!

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 17/08/2008 09:23

morning

hi kooky meal sounds great you are having a long cycle sounds interesting not over till red witch show her ugly face

daly good luck with ff

Dalrymps · 17/08/2008 09:42

Morning

I took my temp this morn was 36.52 but no idea what that means as I haven't got any others to compare it to yet. I have plotted it on my ff chart though

How are you today?

lardybump · 17/08/2008 10:51

Morning everyone. Hope you are all well. I was up all last night with dd as she was sick all night. Bless her!!! She seems as bright as a button this morning so I really hope it was a one off. I am so tired now I am falling asleep at my desk....

I missed x factor last night diege but I see it is on a 1 this afternoon and 8 tonight are these last nights show repeated???

Cant wait to get my results tomorrow I am so excited as I think (although I am sure you will tell me I am mad and that it is to early) i felt the baby last night!!!!!!

SesQal · 17/08/2008 11:04

Morning all

LB - sounds like you didn't have a very good night but hopefully dd is recovered now.

Dalrymps - Sorry can't remember where you are in your cycle but one temp won't really tell you much, it's more the pattern and looking for consistent changes. When you register with Fertility Friend they offer to email you with a lesson a day for 20 days which covers temping and other fertility signs. I did it (it's free anyway!) and I learnt a lot from it.

I'm still waiting for confirmation of ovulation. I'm hoping it's today.....

Diege · 17/08/2008 11:04

Morning Poor you Lardy, you must feel shattered! I also had an interrupted night with dds, but just general naughtiness rather than sickness . Hope you get a chance to rest later - and yes you can catch up with the repeats on Sunday pm . Not too early to feel movement I'd say (I felt movement with dd3 at around 13 weeks).
Hope you had a lovely meal last night KOOKY, and sorry you're feeling so bad. Look forward to seeing you back next week .Hi DAL! Good luck with the temoing - never done it myself, but there are others who are experts on here! Think TINKS conceived forst cycle of temping?
Hi SES, yes good to get the ball rolling again with af . I'm counting today as cd1 though, as yesterday's spotting disappeared and today is first proper day I think. Where are you up to now in cycle?Right, dh itching to get on so back later!

lardybump · 17/08/2008 11:07

Oh my god I missed it.....

Diege welcome back off the waggon!!! I am so pleased AF has arived. I spoke to a friend who had a mmc recently. She waited a month and then started trying again... She got pg straight away and is 12 weeks and huge now with TWINS.........

So how would dh feel about going up to 5 dc deige????

Diege · 17/08/2008 11:30

Twins!!!! DH would be delighted I think, but me a little less so . I have read somewhere that your womb is more receptive for a few months after a mc, and this month I was drowning in EWM - was hard to not gof, but pleased to be looking forward now .

lardybump · 17/08/2008 11:34

Go diege....... I can not wait I am so excited for you.... Roll on two weeks time!!!!!

Diege · 17/08/2008 11:44

Thanks Lardy!

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 17/08/2008 13:29

hi ladies

lardy sorry for your bad night hope that dd is ok now is exciting when you feel them move
d ye like ses says it is a pattern of temps you are looking at not one temp good luck as yes i did conceive on my first chart temping stopped pill and got pregnant in 3 months.

Dalrymps · 17/08/2008 13:51

Yeah I thought it was more of a pattern of temps, can't wait to see my chart for this month once i've filled it in, according to ff i'm on my 'fertile days' now which is weird to think even though we're not ttc this month

lardybump · 17/08/2008 15:52

Right ladies I am off now. DD is much better but I feel really ill. Have been sick this afternoon and dont feel very well at all... I think I have her bug... Not nice at all.

Speak tomorrow if I am better...

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 17/08/2008 16:54

get well soon lardy

Diege · 17/08/2008 17:07

Oh no lardy, sounds like you might have caught something off dd . I remember catching dd2's vomiting bug when I was pregnant with her on hols, and it's not plesant. Make sure you have lots of fluids .
Hi Tinks, Dalrhymps . Just getting Sunday lunch ready, so off till tomorrow I think. Looking forward to that (ch5 I think??) perfect vagina programme tonight .

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 17/08/2008 18:07

have been very tired and very busy so not been about much... feel like i need a full days solid sleep to set me up for the next week!!

DH goes back to work on tuesday after 2 wks off..... don't know how I'm gonna cope if i still feel this tired!! haha!!

LB- hope you've not caught your dd's bug for your sake, but if you have do make sure you get plenty of fluids like diege says!!

i've been getting really bad heartburn too.... constantly needing to drink milk.... so much i feel I'm craving already!! its too early for heartburn because of the pregnancy isn't it?

I'm starting to feel a bit sick in the morning too, was feeling sick with ds for 2 wks before i found out i was pg and i only found out at 6 wks.... so something tells me this could be the start of it, and hopefully points to a boy i have a feeling its a boy anyway.... and i was right with the other 2!!

calsworld · 17/08/2008 18:38

Glask, I had heartburn a couple of weeks ago which I was very about as thought it was too early, but I read somewhere that it can happen as a response to the relaxin, it causes the muscles at the top of your tummy to relax allowing some acid reflux....it should pass. But, I'm fairly sure that you're supposed to drink water, not milk. Milk is alkali and whilst it neutralises the acid, it can cause your tummy to produce more acid as too much alkali is just as bad as too much acid. Water dilutes - perhaps invest in some tums?

I went through this last pregnancy and drank gallons of milk as heartburn was so bad - I ended up hospitalised with an acid burn in my oesophagus - incredibly bloody painful - at 29 weeks. Shan't be doing that again!! Water and tums all the way for me. They put me on tablets to stop my tummy producing acid for the remainder of the pregnancy and was very relieved.

It should pass soon though - until later when the baby is pushing on your tummy that is of course!

Ses - sounds like you're up for a pretty active few days, hope your DH is prepared!

KK, sorry you're all a bit mixed up, fingers crossed that like me you OV late so won't get a BFP till a bit later, but it could also be a long period due to stress....its never over till AF arrives.

can't remember anything else - sorry! Hello everyone!

We went swimming this afternoon and exhausted DS so hopefully he'll sleep well tonight - me too! I've managed another hours nap this afternoon whilst DS slept too - I'm having really strange dreams! Very vivid and surreal!

GruffaloSoldier · 17/08/2008 19:30

Hey everyone!

Welcome Dal!

I love BB and X factor too!

I have just stopped off at home to feed fish,check post and get some clothes for the week and then I am back off to my holiday cottage!

We have had a lovely few days so far - have been swimming in the sunny pool everyday - the water is so warm! Unfortunately my brand new bikini top from bravissimo that wan't cheap and bought it b4 pg but hadn't yet worn it is now looking very much on the small size and also one boob seems to be enormous compared to the other! Had some friends down for the weekend too and had a nice country walk today too.

DH did a night cycle ride on Friday night - it started at midnight in London and then he rode to brighton, got there at 8am. He then decided it would be 'quicker' to ride home than get the train so he did He did 110 miles despite the sleep deprivation!!

I am getting slight nausea at the mo, nothing much really. Insomnia seems to have passed now and exhaustion seems to be setting in. I passed out on the sofa this afternoon!

When I eat at night my stomach seems to balloon up and I look so enormous it is very hard to hide!God knows what it will lbe like when I start showing!Boobs are sore too, worse at night.

Gosh sorry for huge me post but just wanted to catch up and I missed you all sooo much

Will try get on again soon but better get ready to go back now!

SesQal · 17/08/2008 20:22

Gruff - Glad you're enjoying your getaway cottage

LB - sorry you're feeling ill - not fun. Hope it passes quickly.

Glaskham - I'd say Cal is right about not having too much milk for the heartburn. Tums or Gaviscon or something similar should help if it's really bad (and as long as you don't have elevated blood pressure).

This afternoon and this evening I've been getting period pain type feelings - could this be ovulation pains? I've got another negative this afternoon on OPK though so I'm a bit confused. I guess this is the first full cycle that I've properly followed and monitored so I'm still learning.
I'm sure you all know what it's like though - I just really want to have success this month!!

calsworld · 17/08/2008 20:46

Hi Ses, yes I think period type pain feelings could well be ov pains...the only thing I mapped on my chart prior to getting a good dollop of EWCM was lots of trumps!!!

I found it really helpful to keep a track of what 'symptoms' I had each month so I could easily see which ones meant that AF was on her way. If you like I can email it to you so you can use the template?

GS - sounds like you're having a fab time, I'm soooo jealous. I haven't had a proper holiday since before DS was born so feel like I'm beginning to run on empty. DH and i have six days holiday left and may try to get away in the autumn - then it won't be too hot for DS.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 18/08/2008 07:41

Good morning everyone

Welcome to Dal Good luck

Diege Hoooooooorrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Good to have you back on board me ol' mucker GOF's and full explosions here we you come (was contemplating writting 'cum' then, but thought 7.30 on a Monday morning might be too early for some...! )

LB, glad DD is better, but sorry you're feeling crap, hope you are over it by now?

Gruff, also of your country retreat, I might invite myself and just stay there for the next week or so - I have a 'threatened Mum' visit at the end of the week (At least it's not MIL )

Ses fingers crossed for it being OV pains

Tink, 3D scan sounds great

I have finally finished the bathroom And I must say it looks fucking great LOL I painted it a really deep plum colour, got new black accessories (blinds, bath mat, etc.) and black and silver bathware (tooth brush holder, bin, toilet brush etc.) we have carpet in there at the moment (yes I did say carpet, in the bathroom ewwwwwwww) but have ordered some lino that is being fitted on Friday, and I want to get some black towels that I forgot to get in Next when getting the other accessories, but come Friday night it will be done Just in time for Mum to sweep in on Saturday....
