ah well i'm over hte worst of it, u know I went shoppin and only found one jumper, one pair of trousers and one t shirt I lkiked that fitted, I struggled to spend £40 and it's not often I can say that! lol.

Hula - she's lovely.

debs - hope you're feeling a bit better girl.

Hulababy · 03/04/2005 17:29

LOL munz - I am sure you can maybe make up for it next shopping trip!

DD's party went really well yesterday; had a fab time

How is everyone; it seems so quiet on here recenlty.

munz · 03/04/2005 20:35

lol, oh I will, it is v quiet isn't it. everyone must be BD! lol, I hope u told AF u don't want to see her back again next cycle?

expatinscotland · 03/04/2005 20:54

Just here in the waiting pattern, ladies! AF will be here Saturday next. Just SO happy to have had ovulated and to not have such horrid PMS this time round.

Hula, bet your DD was a wee star at her party. How lovely!

Hulababy · 03/04/2005 21:05

munz - AF has been severly reprimanded and warned off! Good luck to you too!

expat - good luck and hope AF stays away.

Yes, DD was fab at her party. She was a greta host welcoming everyone in and then handing out the party bags at the end. She has been well and truely spoilt - showered with lovely gifts and cards. And her behaviour has been excellent all weekend, even today despite not going to bed till after 10pm last night!!!

munz · 04/04/2005 09:02

yes she will be my end as well! I can't wait just think this time next month we may well have our beanies as well!

piffle · 04/04/2005 11:28

Sorry Debss to hear you need tests and stuff, but hopefully it will speed up your ability to become pregnant.
Hula your dd is absolutely bloody gorgeous!!! What a poppet she looks!
Sorry also Munz, it's a frustrating wheel we put ourselves on.
I'm due an AF anytime from Thursday onwards so trying not to be too optimistic, although we have been diligently bding all month.
I am just unsure which side I am ov ing from and with only one tube I know my odds are slimmer...
Grrr

munz · 04/04/2005 17:33

pipfle - u only have one tube as well? I do as well, one lot of everything, my DR say's that the one side makes up for not having one so u OV every month, this has been proven using persona (at least I hope it has)!

OMG we're quiet at the mo. POP - WERE R U???

piffle · 04/04/2005 20:08

Yes Munz although I have both ovaries and was told both are looking mighty fine, apparently can conceive with ov off side with no tube, but journey to womb more hit and miss?
We'll see, I just know I would be very anxious about another pregnancy, our dd has a genetic condition (mildly thankfully but still there) so we would be subject to lots of intervention when pregnant etc, so it is not just as simple as getting pregnant, not that getting pg is simple though...

expatinscotland · 04/04/2005 21:45

Grrrr! Bloody PMT is trying to rear its ugly head. As usual, the week before AF is full of all kinds of unpleasant side effects - sore bb's, headaches, funny tummy, etc.

Only 2 more cycles till accupuncture! Woohoo.

munz · 05/04/2005 08:53

morning all, how r we all?

ES - it's showing for me as well, esp yesterday have got more of a grip today, althou this cold/flu thing isn't helping, and i've not been takin my starflower properly so AF will probably be on time to be arqward! lol.

Piffle - that's odd isn't it, still at least u have 2 ovaries I assume both r working OK?

CD 24 here, nothing happening 2 weeks exactly today till DH is home! YAY!v god help the army if it's delayed again!

HandbagAddiction · 05/04/2005 12:14

Hello!! CD 13 for me today - did an OPK stick this morning and the magic line came up, so dh is under strict instructions to get home early tonight!! Just have to get dd to bed early now too!

expatinscotland · 05/04/2005 12:17

Good luck, Handbag!

Munz, I've got another sinusitis attack going on. Gggrrr! Am taking LemSip sinus max to keep it in check.

FINALLY thru w/Persona testing. It makes you test a LOT during the first month of use. Today was the last day.

Have no doubt AF will arrive right on schedule this weekend as have the symptoms. So have already brought some Pimm's and lemonade to be prepared. .

hunkermunker · 05/04/2005 12:19

On CD43 today and no sign of AF (BFN too) - am really not bothered though as DS is such a delightful little chap. I've decided that if I get pg, I get pg, but I'm NOT going to obsess about it - I am extremely lucky to have my lovely DS (who was one on Sunday ). That's why I've not really been on here much - I don't feel I'm active enough (so to speak...!)on the TTC front to warrant it! Will still drop in and see how you ladies are, obviously!

Spoke to GP when I went the other day with DS and he said that if I don't conceive after a year, they'll offer help, even though I had probs conceiving DS. There's nothing to say we've not already been trying for six months though So in a few months time if I'm still not pg, then I'll start to obsess and ask for help

piffle · 05/04/2005 16:26

yes munz, I had so mucn internal bleeding that they were not sure if they could save the ovary, but they did say they would try it is preferable to leave anything that is still healthy enough to function well.
Have rechecked my dates today and af is due tomorrow (day 29 cycle usually 28-29 one cycle at 34 last month) and no signs of AF as yet, no bloating, no temper tantrums no spots, so am quietly hopeful....

munz · 05/04/2005 18:30

ES - I got some of those 4 flu things but I wanted the day/night tablets, never mind thou I'll give em a whirl. Had to go to the dr's today as well cos i've got viral conjunctivitus (sp) so that's a lovely sight first thing in the mornings! lol. Yes persona uses a lot of sticks in the first month, will only be 8 now, at least it picked up an O, althou I asked my DR today about O and blocked tubes and he said even with blocked tubes u'd still have a positive O so now of course i'm worried again - god why can't it be easy to be a woman?

HA - u go girl! lol.

HM/Piffle ((hugs)) hope AF doesn't come. where's hula at the mo?

popadopalis · 05/04/2005 18:37

Sorry girls, I haven't abandoned you all. I am here! Had a very busy few days and only had time to check my e-mails briefly. I seem to be working non-stop at the moment and would love a day off. The only good thing about that is I haven't had time to think about TTC (well apart from the bding!! There's always time for that!!)I don't even know what CD I am! I reprogrammed my persona monitor on CD6 so it would have thought I was CD1 and it's telling me I'm now CD8! Figure out if you want but I'm going to stay unknowing and unstressed this month. Hope you're all well.

Munz - Cheers for doing the persona thingy for me and to hear only two weeks til you can give BOB a rest! lol!

munz · 05/04/2005 18:48

well pop I must fess up, I had 3 mr BOB's at the start, I now only have 1, i've broked the other two! althou I haven't used one since mr rabbit came along so that one doens't really count.

popadopalis · 05/04/2005 19:02

Munz - Mr Rabbit is fab isn't he?!! Have one myself, don't use it as much now but boy is he good!! lol!

munz · 05/04/2005 19:07

ooh yes he is! lol, he only comes out to see me when DH is away for more than 2 weeks! lol.

Debbsy · 06/04/2005 07:18

hi all sorry not been around im away on a training course but just popped in to say hello.xx

munz · 06/04/2005 08:42

well AF turned up today (at least the whole brown atery stuff did so that means full AF tomorrow - so much for her being late this month! lol. any how on the plus side no swimming tomorrow now!

expatinscotland · 06/04/2005 09:10

I'm right behind ya, munz. AF will be here on Saturday - all the signs are in place. But she'll get hers when I start accupuncture treatments !

Treat yourself to a nice big glass of wine tonight!

popadopalis · 06/04/2005 13:45

Munz - Hope this is your last visit from Af for a while! There is nothing that can't be solved with choclate!

I actually need some myself. Not due to Af though. My bank has sent me nasty letters. Dh rang me this morning at work and I told him my woeful story and within fifteen minutes he was at the door of my work to give me a cuddle to cheer me up. Bless him! He's so sweet. I need to go and sort out my finances now. Bah! If anyone has a magic wand then wave it in my direction please!

piffle · 06/04/2005 14:40
