Munz - That would be fab if you could copy your info manual cos I'm kinda just guessing here!! I'm pretty sure I reprogrammed it properly. I followed the instructions on the test sticks leaflet and it did everything that it said it would do. I do need the manual though cos I don't know anything else!! DO you want me to CAT you with my postal address?

popadopalis · 31/03/2005 16:58

Harrizeb - Thanks for the link to Persona. I had a look and know a little bit more now which helps! I had no clue what to do!! Do you use it as well?

Hulababy · 31/03/2005 18:20

Hi all. CD33; no AF yet.... so still in limbo land.

hunkermunker · 31/03/2005 18:44

HB, hope you get something one way or the other soon (BFP for preference, obviously!).

I'm in the middle of a 'Well, it IS CD38, I could test...yes, but your cycle's been 41 days long at the shortest so it would be a waste of a test because even if it's negative it might not necessarily mean you aren't pg' debate with myself.

Gah!

Hulababy · 31/03/2005 18:52

Other than pg - why might AF be so late??? I am not stressed (started new job but I have been working in smae department for ages, and leaving school was such a relief anyway; moving house soon but not stressed about that at moment - TBH I am the least stressed I have been for ages!) and not ill.

I reckon I must be 14DPO today (had a positive OPK on CD18). I tested two days ago using one of those cheap (off internet) tests which was negative.

I hate this bit - why can't it all be straight forward!

hunkermunker · 31/03/2005 18:56

I don't know, hun - probably because she truly is an old bitch You're right, though, the wait is the worst bit - you just want AF to show up so that you can get the next month under way!

Hulababy · 31/03/2005 21:29

AF has just arrived - seems very heavy too, worst luck Oh well...onwards with month 8. Ready for that challenge Munz - aiming for the New Year baby?

expatinscotland · 31/03/2005 21:32

Dammit, hula! I'm right behind ya - due a week Saturday.

On the plus side, Persona is fabulous!

Go and have a big ol' glass of wine, hula!

I find retail therapy also helps .

hunkermunker · 31/03/2005 22:02

Hula. Fingers crossed for a January 2006 baby! 2006!!!!!!!!! Wow!

Debbsy · 31/03/2005 23:41

oh sorry af arrived Hula

RudyDudy · 01/04/2005 08:20

Morning All

I had my 12 week scan on Wednesday which was fabulous and I now believe there is a little one there and not just a giant bar of Dairy Milk

Anyway, I grabbed a load of babydust whilst I was there and just wanted to sprinkle it all over you guys trying for a new year baby - Good Luck

pop- yes if u want to CAT me, i'll also write down exactly how the call centre lady told me to reprogramme mine, (and their number for u) I couldn't work out how to do it. I'll sort it all out and copy it on monday for you at work.

hula - ((((hugs)))) come on then girl, let's roll up our sleves, i'm only CD20 so 5/6 more till AF comes but at least i'll be at a good point for DH's return. eat lots of choc and get DH to pamper you a bit.

HM - perhaps a first responce would pick it up? I hear they do 4 days b4 AF is due it's up to you.

ES - glad u like Persona it takes all the stress out of TTC doesn't it - well the whole am i or anr't I OV'ing so that always helps!

Deb - good luck today, let us know how you get on with the DR's.

Insedently I read at the baby centre that swimming is the best form of excersise that you can do if TTC. so last night I did 54 lenghts!

munz · 01/04/2005 09:03

bloody computer, sorry about all the posts.

Hulababy · 01/04/2005 09:09

Thanks all Have a busy weekend ahead anyway. We are going to collect some photos we had done of DD recently. Don't have many proper photos done - just once a year around her birthday.

It is DD's 3rd birthday on Tuesday but it is her party day (as TBH as far as she is concernced her birthday) tomorrow. Having a party with 16 of her friends tomorrow at Gymboree. Then grandparents, aunt and uncle will come to ours in late afternoon/evening.

We are going to collect her bicycle first thing in morning - she has been asking for a pink bike, with a seat for Baby Annabel at the back, since just after Christmas time. So guess what we are picking up

Can't belive my baby is a big three year old in a few days!!!

Hulababy · 01/04/2005 09:12

Munz - we will get there

Rudy - can't believe it is 12 weeks already! Did you get a cute little scan picture?

Expat - fingers crossed for you next week then.

Debs - good luck at the doctors

expatinscotland · 01/04/2005 09:17

Happy Birthday, Hula's DD! It flies by, doesn't it? Can't believe DD will be 2 in June.

Munz, I've been taking a magnesium supplement, and my PMT is SOOOOOO much better this month - only a couple of headaches and hardly any mood swings. I've also increased the exercise I've been doing and seen a real reduction in PMT.

Harrizeb · 01/04/2005 09:40

Hi Pop, glad it worked! wasn't sure. Nope don't use it yet. We're not really trying trying, I'm just trying to work my cycles out at the moment as I haven't a clue, but if it hasn't worked in the next few months I have my wish list of gadgets lined up and ready to buy .

RudyDudy · 01/04/2005 09:44

Awww, happy birthday to your DD Hula - sounds like you'll have a lovely weekend. Let's hope for some nice weather so she can be out and about on her new bike. We did get a very cute little pic of a very sleepy baby - absolutely refused to wake up despite much prodding until right at the end when s/he did a headstand - very sweet.

Keep heart everyone. I remember only too well how frustrating and difficult the emotional rollercoaster of each month ttc is but it does happen and people do get pg - and I have the picture to prove it!
