OK well not sure my title is good enough really and feel honoured you let me start the thread. So heres to a new month and new start on my cycle! TTC is going to be a very nervous and aprehensive time for me but i know oyu are all in the same boat and with your support im sure i can do it. So im on day 1 of my cycle. Should ov on day 10 although am not certain if D&C has mucked up my ovulation but will guess that. Am almost thinking that im ttc just to lose another baby and i know thats wrong but cant help it. With 2 mc already its hard to believe it will ever happen for me and DH and im almost convinced i will never see a healthy happy 12 week bean. Ok enough doom and gloom.

HERES TO ALL OF US WHO ARE NERVOUSLY TTC AND MAY LUCK AND FAIRY DUST SHOWER OVER US IN THESE COMING MONTHS!

Wendy - what CD are you on ?

dyzzidi · 22/03/2005 13:08

Where do you buy those 20 packs of tests and how long do they take to arrive?????

dyzzidi · 22/03/2005 13:11

I don't mind the BDing as it is only weekends for me! and is quite a nice way to say I've missed you, I'm glad you are here and then goodbye

Bella23 · 22/03/2005 16:16

Well ladies, its very quiet on here today...where have you all gone? Have I frightened you all away with my request on ideas on how to spice things up !!
I e-mailed DH with link for Nookii game which he thought was fab but told me off for e-mailing such things to his work e-mail..oops
Well had to fight the urge at lunchtime to go and buy some digital ov tests, honestly its like an addiction, had to really fight it! I know I just need to wait to see what persona comes up with but am just getting impatient and of course imagining that persona won't pick it up for some reason, need to get a grip!

george32 · 22/03/2005 16:48

I've had a thrilling afternoon of test driving a Honda CR-V and then came home & booked lovely night away for DPs birthday. Not til the end of April but what with all this talk of sparks I thought I'd better get something ready!! Lovely room with private patio & hot tub - ooohhh!
Just got to look for a pressie now.
I'm going to be bankrupt by the time I go back to work!!!

dyzzidi · 22/03/2005 16:50

Bella was it you who bought 50 pg tests I am trying to find the link to buy some but can't find it

Bella23 · 22/03/2005 16:51

OOH George, where have you booked if you don't mind me being nosey? My DH has a thing about hottubs

wendy11 · 22/03/2005 16:51

Bella - CD13 for me.

dyzzidi · 22/03/2005 16:53

Wish I could find a hottub right now

Bella23 · 22/03/2005 16:58

Wendy, are you usually a 28 day cycle?
I am and am on CD11 so am hoping for a ov sign in the next couple of days.

Harrizeb · 22/03/2005 16:59

Hi Bella, was going to post you the link, but looks like you found it .

Just in case anyone else is intersted, you'd be suprised what gets done with this as a reward IYKWIM! hope the link works

Harrizeb · 22/03/2005 17:00

Nope didn't try that again

fingers crossed

Bella23 · 22/03/2005 17:04

Dyzz - cheap pregnancy tests
medisave

wendy11 · 22/03/2005 17:08

Bella - First af after we lost ds was 35 days but since then back to 26/29 day cycles. I was always 28 days before pregnancy - literally you could set you watch by af arriving but since then it has been a bit more erratic. Have to day that last cycle - cycle 5 since losing ds was the first cycle that I felt was really like me IYKWIM. Seems like it can take the body longer than you think to get back to normal.

dyzzidi · 22/03/2005 17:11

Thank you very much. I am on my way out if I can ever get out of the office Nice meal in chinatown with a girlie friend to talk wedding stuff!!!

Goodnight all

wendy11 · 22/03/2005 17:16

Bella - hope persona comes up trumps for you. Have to say that I fought and lost the battle and bought some of the non digital variety of OPK's as well as the face ones as I was afraid of missing OV - HOW SAD is that . You are not far behing me so you should ov soon - looks like you will be busy coming up to easter!!

george32 · 22/03/2005 17:42

Ooh, perfect timing Bella with the bank holidays. Lots of lazy mornings for you.......
Here is the link for the Hotel . I've booked Hidcote cottage room. Here is another place that looks really gorgeous too (with a hot tub again!!) but doesnt open til May so might try to book for a surprise night away later in the year (dependant on whether my credit card can take the beating!!)

girlfromip · 22/03/2005 18:00

hello all, quick msg just to send my love to dq, bella, george, hereshoping and anyone I've forgotten to send love to, thinking of you and hope you're all well.

Bella23 · 22/03/2005 19:44

George - the places look fantastic! Good for you for booking it Really want to go, may have to seriously twist Dh's arm although i have a feeling after paying for the garden to be done he will be suggesting a bucket of water out the back of our house will be all we can afford!! i have added the links to my favourites though as really want to go at some point.

Wendy - don't think its sad at all to have to buy other opk tests...come now, we all do that!

Dyz - hope you have a fab meal and let your hair down

DQ and Rom - what are you up to girlies?

GFP - hiya Hon, hope you are keeping well

I am supposed to be painting bathroom shelves so better whiz.........

Bella23 · 23/03/2005 08:56

Morning all ladies...
How is everyone today? Only 2 more days at work until Easter...ya ha ..can't wait!
Well nothing else much to report, CD12 so hoping for an O sign on persona in the next couple of days which will mean I shall be literally clamping myself onto DH for his swimmers....

dizzy36 · 23/03/2005 09:17

quick question, is it possible to get an LH surge on OPK and be pregnant?

Bella23 · 23/03/2005 09:25

no idea I am afraid

george32 · 23/03/2005 09:57

LOL at you "clamping on" Bella
I'm crippled today from going to the gym. Thought it was supposed to make me fitter, not unable to walk!!
Nice to see you sneaking over here Girl, hope to see you here more often.
Sorry, I can't help either Dizzy. Haven't seen too many LH surges so don't know too much about them.
Hope everyone is Ok as lots of you have gone very quiet. Any testing happening yet Rom or Y Bear?
Wendy, if it wasn't for us, the internet sites selling these OPKs and P/G tests would be out of business by now. Sales of Persona have shot up too!! (Hereshoping, take the cellophane off........unwrap it!!!)
Hope things are OK for you Cadmum. Has your mum had the pace-maker fitted yet? I hope your decision to stay has been the right one for you.
Babydust to all (going to start throwing big clumps of it about until we get another BFP!! )

DQ and Romilly - where are you ??

Bella23 · 23/03/2005 13:25

Ok ladies I caved into my addiction and bought some of those smiley face digital ov tets and have just done one and BINGO got a smiley face - hoorah! Now why didn't persona pick it up and give me a O symbol??
