Hello,

As Nelix has a bfp (yay!) and she started the last one I thought I'd start this one as a continuation of this thread

Here's hoping we all get BFPs this month but if not then let's continue the thread until we all graduate

How you doing mylittlebubble, Becky and wannabe?

And how's the symptom spotting village?

I had higher temp today after quite low one yesterday, but could be because I had a few drinks at a party last night (and on a Monday!!)

Well am sat here with my large glass of grapefruit juice (( am lifting glass and saying cheers to all))

I think its made a difference, finally got the ewcm on sunday night so been bding lots since, well every night and hope to keep DH energy up til the weekend , surely that should hit the right time

Heebychick · 18/11/2008 10:48

Hi all, how is everyone?

village how are you doing hun? getting into a state of panic yet?

pinkie sounds like you are doing it all perfectly, good luck with the bd fest!

I have braved the Dr's and made a booking in appointment for Friday - feel quite scared still and worrying with each twinge.

smileycat · 18/11/2008 10:56

pinkie are you temping, doing OPKs or just observing CM??. CM will tell you when you are most fertile but not when you are about to OV or have OV'd as you could have it for many days before & some days after. I've done temp & Opk this month as well as observing CM etc & feel so much more at peace as I now know that I am about to OV & my temp will tell me when I have OV'd & then its just the dreaded 2WW until AF due date, but temping will also give you an idea if thats on its way too. This is the 1st month that I actually feel as though I'm in tune with my body & can put the worrying aside & relax a little on the 2WW knowing that I've done all I can to make it happen, its then up to those little swimmers to in the right place at the right time & for the little bean to get a good hold I definately recommend both methods

BeckyMcG · 18/11/2008 11:20

Hey girls, I had a good weekend. My first dry wedding which actually went ok. Everyone else was busy getting very drunk so didn't notice there was no gin in my tonics :-)
I think my dancing is so bad I look drunk anyway! I did another test on Saturday - positive still and feel I need to keep doing one every few days. Am going to stop though as that is insane. I'm 5 weeks today so very, very early days. Planning to wait another 3 weeks or 4 and then head for a private scan. I want some reassurance before Xmas.
For the new peeps - I'm TTC baby number one and have had one missed miscarriage which showed at 10 week scan and one mc at 6 weeks so am crossing everything for this one!
Wannabe - I have a good feeling this month for everyone. I've got my fingers crossed for everyone on this thread.

Hi Everyone... panic over.. I actually ovualated yesterday which was great was going in to panic mode.. you know the normal ... am I ever going to ovulate again (this fear brought on because of age). So only have another two bd sessions and then I am over with the DP!! phew!!

Its been a total nightmare this month trying to get DH as he works late and therefore is knackered in the morning. But we have both made a super effort this month, so hoping we would have done enough.

Cindy, that's great! I know the 'will I won't I ov' panic...

Heeby, I'm feeling OK about ttc now, thank goodness. Having last month 'out' gave me a chance to take stock after my mc and I definitely don't want to sit another month out! Good luck at your appointment and try not to worry - different pg to last time, all will be fine!

yellow, well AF cramps are now starting so here's hoping it will arrive tomorrow as scheduled and then the ttc can start at last!!

Hello ladies,

Heeby you'll be fine, like villagemum said, it's a different pregnancy. Positive thoughts coming your way !!

Funtime glad you're feeling better, it's good to have a support group and in a few weeks time i'm sure i'll be needing some reality check or words of comfort !!

Where's bubble? Any news on AF date/BFP?!

This is our month ladies, i can feel it in me water tee hee!!

pinkie08 · 18/11/2008 13:01

HI Smileycat

I was temping but it all went abit wrong and have now missed afew days.

I am using OPKs first one yesterday (-ive)next one today about 4ish. Should have done first one on Sunday but forgot hopefully that wouldnt have been it.

FF said fertile days are til friday so am hoping it will be ok

heeby your appt will be great and you will feel much happier once youve been but remember to enjoy this time, its a different pg to the last and this is your secret time just you and your sticky bean (that no one else knows about) except all of us of course

C1NDY · 18/11/2008 14:26

Pinkie08 Smileycat I gave up on the temping as I have a dd aged 2 who wakes up some mornings at around 4ish... so I always forget to take me temp before getting out of bed doh! so gave up. One day dd played with the temperature unit and it kept bleeping so I placed it in my cupboard and its been there ever since. I might give it another go next month, if all does not work out. What does dop04 ect... mean... I see you guys have written something like that in your posts.

Smileycat I feel the same with my body, so very in tune (apart from the ovulation opk sticks not going positive!) but I can actually feel myself ovulating unless its wind trying to get out.. hehhee!

Baby dust to all....

yellowflowers · 18/11/2008 14:28

Hi C1ndy - dpo is days post ovulation, so period (af) should come (or not, hoepfully) 14 days dpo. Early testing (no, put the test down!) from 10 dpo.

OP posts:
Heebychick · 18/11/2008 14:30

Thanks guys, am so glad to have you all to talk to.

Feel very blue today (doesn't help that i feel rotten ) but just busy and a bit fed up, really miss DD when i'm at work even tho i only do it PT.

c1ndy great news! on to the 2WW wait for you then now!

yellowflowers · 18/11/2008 14:43

Hi heeby. Sorry you are blue today. Just pg hormones or something else?

OP posts:
Pezzina · 18/11/2008 15:16

Hello all,

Been quite busy on here today

Don?t feel blue Heeby ? its probably your pg hormones kicking in. Well done for getting the Dr?s booked up. have some of this and put your feet up ? you?ll feel better in no time

Cindy ? great news your OVing ? come and join us in the trying desperately not to symptom spot 2WW

Hi Yellow 2WW buddy ? how are you doing today?

yellowflowers · 18/11/2008 15:29

Hey Pezzina - I have a few little pains in breasts but am pretending I haven't - recently heard that this is just progesterone anyway so in theory all women's breasts are sore during 2ww whether pregnant or not so def ignoring them. May have metallic taste or may be because I drank too much last night! (Actually about 4 drinks but I hardly drink these days so that is a lot to me).

yellowflowers · 18/11/2008 15:30

Elliegant · 18/11/2008 16:04

Hi all,

Another bust day on here so just trying to catch up.

Heeby Sorry your feeling down honey, Think yellow is probably right is just the hormones sending big hug.

Hi Pezz and Yellow 2ww aaargh.. doesn't get any easier does it. Yellow noticed our Af's due same day!

I seem to be full of energy today and had the urge to have a massive clean out and get rid of loads of clutter so feeling very pleased with myself

Sending showers of baby dust to you all

Pezzina · 18/11/2008 16:06

Well, I had tender boobs, but like you are trying to ignore that. I have also been having slight cramps in my lower abdomen and today it was a slightly sharper pain on my left hand side. Almost like mild period pains but sharper - if that makes sense. Anyway - I'm still trying to fool myself into believing that I'm not sympton spotting at all - ha ha ha

My temps have slightly increased yesterday and today - so thats something, I guess.

Pezzina · 18/11/2008 16:07

Ooooh Ellie you could be nesting!

Deeja · 18/11/2008 16:24

Hello All,

It's nice and chatty on here today.

Warm thoughts to you Heeby. When I'm down I find a nice warm bath and trashy fiction is a quite nice activity.

I've added myself to the list and put DP (Diana plan is it?). I'm sort of doing that. BDing Every two days, grapefruit juice, ovulation sticks. But not temping...I would never keep it going first thing in the morning...it's a pretty good day if I make it into work .

Anyway I think getting in all the bding is going to be a little different.

yellowflowers · 18/11/2008 16:34

Hi Elliegant - I htought my af due on 23rd but then def ovulated later (confirmed by temping) so now think it'll be 27th. Have a batch of ebay cheapies which I don't really trust and don't pick up early but when I feel need to test I can just use them knowing it's about 25p rather that £10! So can't promise I will wait to use them
