First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 2

[bluestarlavender]

Hi guys, new thread for us to carry on!

BSL x

Hi vix and thanks for the reassurance! I am not on clomid (yet) but having tests to check I am ovulating, as I suspected I wasn't (no lines on the opk EVER and no EWCM, ever)

But it appears I am, just about, ovulating... I guess my egg just doesn't shout about it and is a bit shy about making its presence known... unlike me!!!

I guess next step is the dye through the tubes as well!- we'll do it together!

linwin i forgot to say good luck for the job interview, and well dont at getting back in the game so quickly!

heylottie yay lets have blue dye together! (turns your wee blue though )

Hey all,

Linwin, well done on the job interview and getting back in that saddle!! When will you hear?

Summerbird, I have no idea about accupunture, but you are absolutely meant to have a baby, so you will!!

Thanks all for your best wishes on the house - they have been granted and they accepted our offer of £189k - £11 below the asking price!! Can't believe that we've got a house!!

So girls, a bit confused with my whole chart thing.... Yesterday I got a positive OPK, although EWCM had pretty much dried up and then today, got a .2 temp rise out of the blue - it had been around 36.46 for the last week and then suddenly shot up to 36.6 this morning!! Can I assume then that I OVd yesterday? Very very odd...

Something really funny to tell you... So, last night DH and I were BDing and he was being all silly because we had been saying that it had become a bit of a chore, I can't even remember what he did now, but whatever it was, I laughed out loud. He then stopped "pumping" (sorry TMI), looked around the room and said with a really serious face "What's so funny? Do you want to share it with the rest of the group?" like a school teacher!! And that was it, I laughed until the tears rolled down my face!!!

That thought is going to keep me amused all day!!!

Sorry - the new temp should have read 36.66!!

xx

Hi Dawn,

See if you get 2 more high temps in a row, but it does sound like you OV'ed yesterday!

Congratulations on the house!!! Yay!! and bargain of a price!

I have a stinking cold. Picked it up in the office on Wednesday. Feeling very sorry for myself! 7DPO and feeling no symptoms whatsoever, I can't even look for the sensitive smell thing, cos I'm all bunged up!!

Anyhow, going to see if a nice cuppa will soothe my sore throat!

Big waves!

BSL Cold like symptoms are a symptom

MAF - do you reckon??? LOL, yay! I have found some symptoms this month! To be honest though, I suspect this isn't my cycle. I honestly don't feel any different and apart from the cold,have no symptoms. I am just expecting AF next Friday and am keeping my fingers crossed it stays away for my bday on the Thursday.

Linwin - when will you hear about the job?? I have my fingers crossed for you!

Just dropping into say Hi everyone. Sounds like this week and last have been a bit of a rollercoster for everyone!! I hope the coming week is much calmer and full of good news!!

Bluestar - When do you get DPs results.

I am in SE London too eltham right now but am hoping to move a bit further out when all is a little more settled.

Hever - hi! Oooh there are a few of us really close. I think Eth is in Herne Hill area. How are you doing??

The hospital said DH won't get the results for a few weeks...well after the 2WW has ended. We'll see what happens...I'm feeling quite philosophical about TTC at the moment. What will be will be!

BSL x

Hey BSL i am due next Friday too so we have synchronised! well they do say that women who are a team end up synched!!

dawn congrats on the house - yay! and thanks for your kind words.

well the sun is shining here so i am in a good mood!!

Hey Summer - yay, cycle buddies! We can hold hands together!! Any symptoms yet? It's so nice we can wait together!! Fingers crossed for BFPs for us both...

How are you feeling today? I had several weeping sessions when I first realised we might have problems, so I do understand. I guess we'll have to wait and see how all the tests and x-rays go. Who knows it could be both our months this month!!

BSL x

Hi all,

I feel like I've missed loads - bah to work for making me work at a different site with no internet access!

Massive congrats on the house Dawn!!! That's a southern bargain

Hope everyone is well and I've missed you all

I called my docs at the beginning of the week to se when I had to go in and let them know about my BFP. They said I didn't need to if I was sure it was correct and that I just had to book in with the midwife at 8 weeks. So I have my appointment on Oct 6th - it's feeling a bit more real now

I hope you all have lovely weekends

Saz xx

Happy friday evening girls!

Congratulations on the offer being accepted Dawn you must be over the moon. Soon you will be able to get down to some serious nesting

News from me is that I got through to second round of job interview but that isn't for over a week so I'll have plenty of time to get properly prepared

Can't wait to hear of a few more BFP's - I've got a very positive feeling about this month!

Linwin - fantastic news!!!! Congratulations!!! Let us know if you need any help with anything. I've had quite a bit of experience at targeted selection interviews...if that helps any.

BSL x

nice one linwin and all the very best of luck for round 2!

BSL am feeling better thanks, think i am resigned as there is nothing much i can do until the xray, i read that article you posted and it does look like they can treat it if necessary.

saz that is a bit rubbish of your docs to say that, was it the receptionist or the doc who told you not to go in? although having said that Oct 6th is only 2 weeks away and midwives are lovely! (MIL used to be one!!)

off to a charity ball tonight, the posh frock is ready and waiting!

oo forgot to say, BSL i have absolutely no symptoms at all, however i am more relaxed about it this month as am not expecting a BFP so maybe i am in a better frame of mind.

i slipped up the other day, i used an MN acronym on my mother by accident!! we were talking about my issues and i mentioned CD1 - she asked me what i was talking about, i just mumbled some sort of crap and got away with it! PMSL

Evening all,

It looks like it's been a busy day for everyone and a quiet one for the thread.

Summberbird - hope the charity ball goes well!! We'll get through this TTC together! It might not be as straight forward as we'd like, but at least we have options and hopefully solutions. You sound like me this month...not expecting anything!

I've had a nice chilled out day in Dungeness. Went to see Derek Jarman's house and wonderful garden. I love Dungeness, it's so other-worldy. We've been a couple of times before and every time we go, it's beautiful and sunny.

As for symptoms, well the weird cramps started today. I've had them for both the previous cycles, so I doubt they're a symptom. I also has a bit of nausea today, like motion sickness. But again I think that's cos we were doing some bird watching, so I was wearing my contact lenses. My eye sight is pretty good, but I am a little tiny bit short sighted and wear contacts if we are going bird or animal watching. I haven't worn them for months, so I am pretty sure that's what made me feel sick.

Hope everyone else has had a good day.

hi all- I am poorly and want some sympathy LOL. I thought Friday I just had a cold but it appears to have grown into full blown flu! I haven't had any sleep, I have ear ache, sore throat, back ache and can't breathe! It's horrible I am trying to do next weeks planning and catch up on my marking but I hurt!! Ok I am not going to moan anymore DH has got me cold+flu tablets and extra strength strepsils so I should be good in a few days!

I hope everyone else is well and our pregnant ladies are avoiding these horrible germs! Xx

Hi all,

Just popped in for a quick catch up on how things were going for you all.

Awww Crunchy I have massive sympathy for you hun. I too have developed cold(not flu thankfully tho [phew emoticon!]....it sucks as I am not allowed to take anything other than paracetamol (I'm not achy yet) just I have major sniffles and my throat hurts

Summer the ball sounds fab, I hope you had a good night? Oh and it was the recptioist when I phoned to make my appointment that told me I didnt need to see the doc, you're right it isn't far away.

Hi to everyone else and I hope you are all well and making the most of the weekend

thanks saz at least that's one good thing about not brig pregnant then. I can keep taking my cold+flu tablets. I'm dreading work tomorrow but after a day of rest and lots of pills I think the aches are dying down. I have the worst class in the whole school tomorrow and have to start poetry with them! I think they may make me cry if I am still feeling this bad!

Hope everything is going well for you and baby. I am still very jealous even though I have my pills xx

hey cunchy hope you feel better soon, and you too Saz i would eat lots of oranges and drink lots of water!

the ball was fabulous thanks girls, we raised £15,000 for Christies Hospital, the bidding auctions were way beyond our league though - they were starting the bids on some stuff at £500!! We bought a few raffle tickets instead!!

Got a new haircut yesterday (i now have a fringe) i am loving it but a bit weirded out by it too - i havent had a fringe for years...

Gawd i am tired - off to bed now methinks

night night

Hi girls

Happy Monday!!

Crunchy hope ur feelin a bit better and hope your class weren't too hard on you!!

Well i am on CD28 and am starting to get AF pains , i am usually around 31 / 32 days so I know its coming.

Hope everyone else is well!! Summerbird BSl and wildfig i think you are around same cycle days, any symptoms yet?? Fingers crossed one of us gets a BFP!! xx

Afternoon all!

Sorry about impending AF, Vix! Are you sure?

I definitely think that one of the four of us will get a BFP !! I don't think it'll be me though...still no symptoms (except this cold, which hasn't gone yet).
Summerbird, Wildfig* - any symptoms for you guys??

Crunchy - how's you today?? I hope you're feeling a little better! The cold/flu sounds awful and a room full of school kids is my idea of hell when I'm fully fit, let alone poorly!

Saz - oh, 6th Oct is getting pretty close!! How exciting!

Big waves to everyone!

BSL x

still no symptoms today, i should be due this Friday.

how is everyone else this afternoon? i am having my usual Blue Monday at work, so just sitting back and watching the bun fight!

Hello Ladies

BSL and Summer sounds like you had fab weekends.

Crunchy Hope your feeling better

BSL i agree i think we are gonna see a BFP pretty soon.

Saz i hope the 6th comes around before you know it

Well, it was DP's b'day this weekend so one of the good things about last months BFN was we got completely plastered on both friday and saturday night Yes, i know its not great for fertility but it was fab just to not worry and have a big blow out.

Hope everyones mondays not too bad
