[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

Nelix if you have messaged me then i'm not sure where to find my messages!! lol

I cant send a message making....i am not a paid member so will have to be an old fashioned email I think!!!

Can I join? I am cd 2.

welcome yellowflowers of course you can its open to one and all! the more the merrier and at least ONE of us is bound to get a BFP!

Hi all, AFs drawing to a close - getting that fruity feeling , or is it just me ? Good luck for this month sparky. Abstract - sorry to hear about the m/c. You're in good company as there are unfortunately many of us who know what you're feeling right now (veteran of 1 ep, 1 'disappearing twin', 1 mmc, 1 early mc and 1 gorgeous ds). Mind you, it does give us carte blanche to be as neurotic as we like!

Gin and grapefruit - now that might actually work (pootles off to raid the drinks cupboard...)

Funtime - neurotic? us? the test destroyers?!

I feel super positive for us all this month - now where we can we get some baby dust from for extra luck!

(heebychick searches under desk for baby dust) yes we should be due some good luck now eh!

funtime i agree, we are joined by our destructive ways.

How is everyone this morning?

I have looked at my dates and early next week should be the best time for 'early nights'

How do we write up a list for AF due dates for this thread maybe?

Morning Ladies

Posted this on another thread but thought i'd post it here too as i feel better knowing i'm not the only pee stick addict on MN!!

Well had a bit of a false OPK alarm yesterday and dinner with the boys at the Harvester nearly turned into inseminations at mine. The clearblue fertility monitor decided not to work yesterday morning so i done a cheap ebay OPK, nothing and then picked it up to throw it in the bin 20 mins later and 2 lines, one very faint!!! Went to the chemist and bought the clearblue OPK's and negative, re-read the instuctions and found out that a line fainter than the test line is a negative reading. Oops! You would think after peeing on sticks for 3 months i would have got the hang of it by now!!!! I now have 3 sticks to potentially pee on everyday do you think i'm becoming a little obsessive LOL

morning all!!!.....yes feeling more positive this month too!.....
hhmmmnmakingafamily OPKS are not always reliable....FM is the best way to go!IMO anyway

sorry got booted! thats just myopinion after having many false negs on OPKs.....

hmmm I'm getting a bit sceptical Nelix. Although am tempted to get the boys round tonight as they are off to see Madonna in Cardif over the weekend

Makingafamily - am trying OPKs and checking CM (the things you say to strangers on the internet....) and I think CM is probably slightly more reliable - the OPKs seem to be a little more 'open to interpretation' (I didn't know you shouldn't do them first thing in the morning....as the LH or whatever it measures can take up to 4 hours to show up...and if you drink too much before testing you can dilute it....all very helpful! )

What CD are you on? Can that help?

How's everyone else doing?

PS - Heeby got sidetracked by sharing my OPK traumas Did you spot any babydust?!!

Good idea on the AF 'timetable' ;)

Hi Sparky

I'm CD9 so quite early.

Argghhh, on days like this (ones where it peesitdown rains all day) I wonder why I'm so desperate for more anklebiters little darlings!

I think that I've spent the day just shopping for food, cooking food, scraping uneaten food off plates and washing up after cooking food. Combined with dealing with thrown toys (ds'), dropped cup (mine) and tantrums (both), I'm really thinking of just not bothering this month and drinking vast quanities of wine instead .

Just want some sunshine!!!! (stamps feet in temper)

I've spent the day at work dealing with grown up tantrums! Not sure which is worse . Did you manage to get out at all? I didn't leave the office for 9 hours so didn't see if it was raining/sunny/snowing (nothing would surprise me!)

Well, about to start the 2ww (makingafamily - I'm only a couple of days ahead of you) and I don't think the grapefruit juice has made any difference (nelix let me know how you find it...maybe I am just v dehydrated generally).

Am also thinking of starting potty training DS. Is that a) madness or b) a useful distraction to keep me away from the HPTs (there'll be more than enough wee on the floor?!)

ooh sparky how exciting, i shall be joining you next week (i think) i'm still trying to get used to a new cycle, the last 3 months i have had AF on CD26 so will assume i'll OV earlier than i thought before, so will be a busy girl over the weekend and next week!

Found babydust! loads under my bed, thought i'd put it somewhere! i'm happy to share it (((heeby throws dust to all you lovely ladies)))

I had a nightmare day too if that helps, busy at work and full of stressed people! my boss is away so everyone seems to be throwing everything on me, lovely! went for a swim tonight so feeling very proud (and i'm enjoying a nice glass of red) xx

good morning all!.....god yesterday WAS awful....my DS of 18 months was upstairs with me...i thought I had closed the stairgate...my DP calls up to say DSs tea is ready so he goes running.....right down the bloody stairs!!! I saw him go it was horrid!luckily DP is in the medical profession so my panic was soon laid to rest as she checked DS over, no broken anything a few bumps and grazes and very shaken up poor wee thing! On the plus side he spent his first ever night in bed with me since he was 4 weeks old (me being over anxious and watching for signs of concussion all night).He loves his own bed and has never been able to sleep in a bed with me! but seems right as rain this morning and a lesson learned all round!!

sparky I will let you know how the grapefruit juice goes....AF is just endng so I will be able to look at my CM soon. I figure i will be ovulating on the 5th or 6th of septemer if my last 6 cycles are anything to go by. So we chall see!

How is everyone?

Morning all Actually had a positive result on an OP test! (boots own-brand if you're interested) last night, just before bedtime. I think DH wanted to actually get some sleep, instead of which he had a crazed wife demanding some action!

So - if I can persuade him again tonight we'll have timed it right so.....am just going to grab a pinch of baby dust and put it in my pocket! (thanks Heeby!!) Nelix how are you today? Been there and it's terrifying! Although I think in my case DS was more shocked by mummy sobbing than falling down a couple of steps!

Have a lovely day everyone....

It was horrid sparky it was the whole flight of stairs tho....he has fallen down a couple a few times, and he smacked into the stairgate at the bottom he is covered in carpet burns and bruises this morning its awful! so he is gettin spoilt all day!

LOL good luck! we need BFP!!!!

Oh Nelix - poor thing! And poor you and DP - horrible for you both. Spoiling is exactly what's required And remember, you're probably more traumatised than he is!

Can I join your gang? I am on CD12 I think! Do I have right that CD1 is the start of your AF?

When is your most fertile time, according to the book!!

'ello mylittlebubble - I'm lurking when I should be working (oh, that rhymes ) so thought I'd pop in and say hello!

yes - CD1 is the day AF turns up; most fertile time depends on how long you're cycle is....so, mine are (at the moment, and due to the magic of reflexology) exactly 28 days, so I ovulate around about CD14/15 (exactly half way through the cycle) - so most fertile time for me is days 12-16.

But - if you have a shorter or longer cycle, the exact days would vary (does that make sense?) The assumed 'norm' is that you OV 14 days before your period starts...but this can vary from month to month....are you watching out for signs of OV/using any predictor tests?

Oooh, that was a bit rambling...does it make sense?

yes does make sense. not using any kits, yet!!

welcome mylittlebubble....there are a few of us now woo!....right....who is on what day...???we should make a list.....I am on CD5.....
