Thought I'd start a new thread for those of us who are out for May. Love to see some of my old friends here as well as maybe some new ones

i'd test if i were you...but then i just did a test on CD7! well, it wasnt really my fault you see...
I went for reflexology, all very relaxing a nice. from just my feet she said she could feel lots of tension in my neck (true - v. stessed at work at the mo), she said she could feel tension in my knee (true - badly inflamed knee joint at the moment), she said she could feel congestion (true - recovering from cold), then she asked 'when was the last time you did a pg test?' to which i said last week & AF has arrived since...she said i should go do another as i was quite 'tender' around my ovaries. she said it could be pg, or could be O approaching, but definitly a centre of energy at the moment. well, that wa sred flag to a bull, dashed off to boots...BFN of course.... dragging dh off in a mo
total cost for the whole experience £55!!! yes, i have booked in for next week...i think there's something in this reflexology lark.

why oats MrsMcJnr?

MrsMcJnr · 13/09/2008 22:40

Twoplease ? do you know how long the pre ovulatory (follicular) phase of your cycle is? If that?s the short bit and you have a 10 day LP or more, there?s nothing to worry about even if it is the luteal phase that is short, there are lots of things you can do to prolong it

Littlemissmischief ? all sounding good with you, hope it?s your month!

Lovelymonster ? interesting! Try and hang on a few more days!

Dinkyboysmum ? sorry the test was BFN hon oats apparently help regulate hormones

Ggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrr ? 4 family members (all male I might add) have asked me if I am pg again yet because DS would like a sister, FGS, he?s 7 months old. My FIL is the biggest pain, every week after my MC before we got pg with DS he asked me if I was pg again can?t believe he?s started harassing me already.

Minshu · 13/09/2008 23:07

MrsMcJnr - I'm assuming there can be only one? I was on mn when you were ttc#1 - but left due to dh becoming xh... So pleased to hear that you are now ttc#2, but sorry to hear about the hassle you are getting.

I now have a bright shiny new dp and we've been ttc for 6 or 7 months. Just joined another thread, but had to post when I saw your name - you were always a voice of reassurance and reason on the old thread...

Waiting2Exhale · 14/09/2008 00:02

Hi All....

MrsMcJnr Wow...oats hey...when should I have started that or does it not matter. Will try anything me . Good thing is I actually love oats so would be a pleasure to add this to my diet on a more regular basis . Really feel you on the IL tip. Their my worse nightmare and the only real reason me and DP really argue . Currently in the middle of one of those arguments now...however the good thing is, am on the 2ww (knew I'd find something good about this time)so at least I don't need DP for anything at the mo to make me have to concede at this point.

LovelyMonster Hang in there....this could be the one....only a couple more days to go before I would test as your bound to get a BFP if the witch hasn't arrived by then .

dinkyboysmum its so very early you don't really have to count it as an early test ehehehhe...this still be your month.

Minshu massive welcome. Its great to see new members joining and their darling new partners on board to baby making.

Me calendar day 22 of 29 and still very bored with this 2ww. Current syptoms include a pulling low down near my groin which could be implantation but unlike. Nothing else to report really. Hope all is well with everyone else..nite nite...

VickyJane77 · 14/09/2008 15:20

Hi all,
Can I join? I'm currently CD17 on a 31 day cycle, TTC#2. I had a MC back in June and were going to wait 3 months before trying agian, but we feel ready now, so lots of BDing this weekend, though I think we may have missed it this month, but will find out in a couple of weeks.
Here's hoping for June babies!

littlemissmischief · 14/09/2008 17:36

Hi all - Welcome VickyJane

Have had a very nice relaxing day with my boys and am now cooking a roast - Yummy!

Just did my Ov test for today and it was a darker line again, but still a negative but hoping it will be a positive soon but we have been BD loads just in case, hoping my 2ww can start soon though cos im getting bored! Gonna update the list now.x

Thanks for updating list littlemiss! Its going to be a great few weeks with lots of BFP's hopefully!!

As for me I'm sure the witch is knocking on the door! Feeling a few rumblings and a bit of brown spotting today . Its just so annoying that its my first time late ever and was hoping like mad! I have 11 friends PG at the moment and half of them were not even trying to get PG. Fingers crossed but feeling very doubtful right now

DawnAS · 14/09/2008 18:32

Hi All,

Hope you don't mind but I've added myself to your list.... This was the first month TTC after a miscarriage 6 weeks ago. Really thought I'd fallen again but got 2 BFNs now. So, now on DPO 12 and ready to start BDing tonight!!

Onwards and upwards. I've added the stats!!

Hi DawnAS...sorry about your M/C...had one earlier this year myself. Glad to see you "back in the saddle again" hope you don't mind the punt... . Best of luck this cycle.

littlemissmischief · 14/09/2008 19:47

Sorry Waitingtoexhale just went from Fridays list that said you were CD18 but nevermind atleast you havent got as long to wait then and your on same day as me!! Have you Ovulated yet, probably you have im the only one was nightmarish long cycles I think!

twoplease · 14/09/2008 21:46

Evening all,

Have amended the list Littlemiss as i am back to the beginning again after the shortest cycle known to womankind - have used an online calendar thingy and worked out that i would still be in for a June baby on new cycle so am sticking around if that's ok by everyone!! Am going to be able to go to my brothers wedding in Germany so that's what's cheering me up at mo (refer to beginning of thread if you can remember back that far!!)

Thanks for the tip Mrs McJnr - I thought I ovulated early in my cycle but am not entirely sure - was using cheapie OV tests which didn't really give me a positive all cycle (another thing to worry about!!) so might stretch to some posh digital ones so that I can start working out what is going on. I have seen other posts mentioning agnus whatsit to lengthen LP phase so might read up on that.

have fun anyone 'at the right time, good luck all those on 2ww and hello any newcomers [waves in a welcoming fashion]

twoplease · 14/09/2008 21:47

oops - forgot to add the amended list - can anyone tell i'm on my period!!!

Morning everyone! Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Still just over a week to go til i can test (damn my long cycles) and i'm symtom spotting even though I promised myself i wouldn't this month thing is I know that most of the symptoms could just as easily be AF symptoms as well-nature is so cruel! So i'm madly wishing that we are lucky this month but also being as thinking it prob won't happen
Fingers crossed.

Not enough time to catch up on the thread, so i'll say hello to everyone new, good luck to anyone about to test or busy BDing, and those on their 2WW-so to everyone really ! And sorry to those with BFNs and recent miscarrages x x x

Need to keep very busy this week and keep my mind off it but it is sooooo hard

littlemissmischief · 15/09/2008 10:37

Morning Ladies

Sammysam - Try to stay positive hun, I know its hard and it drags on soooo long but like you say try and keep busy.

Twoplease - so sorry AF turned up for you, fingers crossed for this cycle.

Well I am at work and seriously bored!!! I have something that feels like period pain but only on my left side but Im hoping this is ovulation pains?? Does anyone have this or know what ovulation pains feel like?? Im hoping it is and that I get a positive today and then atleast I know where I stand and can start the countdown lol

Hope everyone else has a good day! x

LovelyMonster · 15/09/2008 11:15

Hi all. Well AF has definately arrived . What a bugger, nature was just playing tricks on me! Onward and upward. Not feeling too bad. At least I will still be in for June and therefore stay on this thread and hopefully we will all have a very successful June expectations!!!

Sam - How long is your cycle? No signs of AF so thats fab! Stay positive - good vibes coming your way!

Littlemiss - Sound promising about left side pain. I have heard that some women always know when they ov as they can feel it pop out!!!!! Heres hoping!!!!!

Two please - Sorry to hear you are in the same boat as me! We shall cruise together!!!

I shall now attempt to update the list!!!!!

How are you doing makingafamily and kiwikat??????????

MamaMimi · 15/09/2008 11:23

Hello to all.

These threads move so quickly!
Hope everyone is doing ok today.

lmm - I was due to ovulate yesterday and I did get the pains that I associate with it, they started last eve. Still feeling a bit crampy today, it is quite like AF cramps but just on one side (mine is left side this cycle too). Mine can feel quite acute at times too, so that for a few secs it makes me catch my breath and do a little 'ooooh'!!!

Problem I have is that since AF left this month I have been suffering with cystitis symptoms - not nice. And dp was away over night (comes back tonight), great timing! We did manage to BD on Sat night tho',so hoping that if we carry on from tonight all is not lost.

MamaMimi · 15/09/2008 11:35

Hi LM - x-posted with you- sorry about AF coming. I know it's even more disappointing when your hopes have been raised by her coming late.

We all have to just keep trying and it will happen if and when it's meant to - that's what I tell myself (mostly 'cos that's what I believe actually). But I know it's still hard to not be disappointed.

Keep meaning to make an appointment with Dr for tests as we've been trying for a year now and I would just like to know if there is maybe a physical reason for it not happening yet. But for some reason keep putting off making the appt, I think it's just the thought of fitting it in, a lot on my mind at the mo'.

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 11:37

Morning All

Sorry the witch has got to so many

I'm on the home stretch of the 2WW now and have some very encouraging imaginary symptoms Testing Friday if I can hold out that long - anyone else ?

MamaMimi · 15/09/2008 11:49

Hey Jools, how exciting. Hold out and keep yourself busy 'til Fri. If you test too early and get a neg you'll only be disappointed even though it may be wrong (you know,'cos it's too soon). BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!

littlemissmischief · 15/09/2008 12:22

Ohh thanks MamaMia - really hoping it is Ovulation pains, it seems like Ive been waiting ages this month for it but my cycles have been around 40 days most of the time so i suppose that makes it right so thats good, the one bad thing I keep thinking is that when I fell with DS I didnt try and didnt know all the ins and outs I do now (and i do know how extremley lucky I was then) but it means that it took 4 weeks after I ovulated to get my BFP so Im thinking the same will happen with the next one so will have a 4ww not a 2ww - Oh no Oh well will be worth it when I get a BFP!

Sorry LovelyMonster - Its great that your still in for June Im glad your hanging around

Jools - All sounds very good! Got my fingers tightly crossed for you, try to hold out till Friday tho even tho I bet it feels like a lifetime!

yellowflowers · 15/09/2008 13:15

Have put this on other threads I'm on so apologies if anyone also on them and getting bored of me. I had loads of ewcm on sat a week after I thought I ovulated which would mean this month a 37 day cycle rather than 30 - am annoyed as did loads of bding day 13-19 as was on holiday. did bd on sat night having seen the ewcm on the afternoon but is that too late - ewcm means you have just ovulated not you are about to doesn't it? So peeed off. It does mean if no af I should wait until end of Sept to wait thoug (as if I will hold out that long!) UNless, small glimmer of hope, sat ewcm was because of implantation - is that possible?

Sans04 · 15/09/2008 13:21

hi all
I just had AF yesterday with a really bad pain and flowing bleeding (blood clot), so I had to call my speialist and he did a test on me the hormon level was very hi which he recommend that was misscarage, so I am on some pills now and I dont know where I will recover from that to try again cose the doctore wants to see me again on 23 september.
well done Twoplease and LovelyMonster for the new list what a big list we have fingures cross for everyone.
