TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

[C1NDY]

Hi everyone I have started a new thread... hope you like the new home, this is where it will all happen. (Cindy opens a bottle of champagne) Here's a drink to all and to our month ofthe BFP... .... baby dust all around ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Queenie Today I am trying to actually do some work. I am so behind... boss is out of the office so want to get as much done today so that I can take it easy tomorrow and Friday.. I have chewed all my nails as I keep thinking about tomorrow... I hope AF does not arrive. Goush, why do I not have patience, if I had waited I would still have my georgous long nails!! Roll-on Friday!!

I don't want to go on about it but you all should try preseed its wonderful. I really honestly believe it helped me this month. Do give it a go even if its only for a couple of days, especially if you are an oldie like me!!

C1ndy - I am one of the most impatient people I have ever met so I can sympathise wholeheartedly! Lets just hope Friday rolls around quickly for you. I have a good feeling for you this month though I really do. PS. I have no nails either - they never even get long.

Queenie - got you! My dh NEVER managed a schedule like that. I think the last time we did it twice in one day was on our honeymoon!
I can understand you not wanting to get your hopes up and being only 7/8 days po is a difficult time. So many hopes, so little ability to do ANYTHING about it. We all have our fingers crossed for you.

Well, clinic appt was a bit of a non event. They tested my wee which still came up BFP which is unsurprising at this point. I had some blood taken to check hormone levels and have to call them tonight for results. If they are dropping they will assume complete miscarriage based on the clinical explanation I gave them. Quite glad I don't have to have anymore scans. Not pleasant to have that probe thingy confirming that yes, actually, there is nothing there.

Dh and I just want to get cracking now on ttc again. Hopefully not long to wait now.

On a positive note this is my last week at work. Hooray!!!

cindy - bless you! but breathe deeply!! You are PG!! And you've had such strong lines!!

Thanks for reminder about pre-seed. If the witch does pay a visit next week I'll definitely order some more (annoyingly I did this a couple of months back but it never arrived!)

C1NDY would it be rude of me to ask how old you are? And will this be your first DC? You may have said before but sooooooo many posts ;) i am 33 - 34 in August, and also incredibly impatient ;)
[hugs] Wasabi!

Kitty if it makes you feel any better we concieved my son 2 months before my 34th birthday. I'm now a few days away from my 36th and hoping for 2009 to take a turn for the better.

wasabi - good to hear you're feeling positive about ttc again.

Thanks Wasabi

kittycat I am 33 in exactly one week - and I feel like am too old somedays and quite young on others!

I completely failed on the post pill bounce cos I came off the pill in Oct 2007 - didn't use contraception in Nov and Dec that year - but then my (now) DH proposed and so I use contraception right up until just before the wedding last year.. I was on it aged 18 to 31... So now have been ttc for 5 months.

Thanks iggypiggy

Wasabi Try Vaseline Intensive Care - with the 50% notice that says it softens hands and strenthens nails - I swear by it... you will have long nails in two weeks or my name is not Cindy!!

Kittyc@t I am 39 but will be FORTY in March Not that old i guess I have a DD aged 2 and 6 months... so hopefully if this beans sticks there will be only 3 years and 2 months difference between them - not that I really care. I have sisters who are older than me by eight years and we still get on like a house on fire.

Queenie Honestly, try the preseed i really think it helped this time around. VillageMum recommended it to me this month and I tried it and hopefully the BFP will stick!! big sigh roll on Friday!!!!

Wasabi The whole experience of a MC is not pleasant so my thoughts are with you. Have you stopped bleeding? Will you start counting from the first day you started bleeding as CD1??

Hey ladies,

Welcome Kitty!!!! I hope this thread will be lucky for you. Our BFP list is stacking up.

C1NDY I'm actually convinced that you're PG. I got mine the day before AF due and here I am 6weeks today! Keep positive, i'm sure AF wont arrive. I will be checking in to see.

Queenie your symptoms sound promising too! Fingers crossed that your AF doesn't arrive either and there will be another 2 BFP's by the end of next week.

Keep it up ladies! so to speak!

Hello everyone

Am trying to have a day of more work and less surfing, so kick me off if I come back here today

Kittycatcat - I'm 39 (40 in Nov) and TTC my first - trying not to think too much about being an ageing first time mum !!

I have been checking Fertility Friend, and I think the "EWCM" I was seeing is actually creamy "CM" and I saw exactly the same last month. Based on CM patterns, I now reckon I will ovulate on CD14, which will be Sat or Sun. It is going to be a busy few days

C1ndy - I got my BFP in Sept one day before AF was due, so I reckon you must be pretty safe now

Funtime - I got home too late to check my leeks last night and am out at the gym tonight - will investigate at the weekend and report back

Joolsiam - i am app fertile at the moment,and EWCM is expected sat....annoyingly i am out every night this week
Good luck and fingers crossed for C1NDY and Queenie

Jools and Kitty and everyone else who is getting bored with me ranting about my BFP... all will be revealed on Friday. I won't say nothing more about it till then.

Oh I meant to say thank you to all of you for all your positive vibes.. it wasn't meant to read like I wrote it ... I know your not all bored... are you...

c1ndy I am not bored - and I am sure no one else is

roll on Friday I say

am stupidly getting hopes up myself... even though I know is such a tiny chance that i would be PG - am trying not to, but I can't help it

Hi all - just managed to hop online and loads of messages to catch up with.

Thanks for enquiring how I am queenie - I am actually fine. A bit confused though as blood never became full flow - just bright red spotting - am sure it will become period v soon but actually temp shot up today (not hugely high but second highest temp of the cycle at 36.65) and also the cystitis type feeling back though am convinced I don;t have actual cystitis as doesn't hurt to pee, just feels odd about an hour after going to the loo. Hmmm - probs be full period in a day or so but is def a bit weird, so am still holing a glimmer of hope though trying not too too much.

Hi wasabi - much love to you. Sorry it's still grim

Not at all bored cindy.

And good luck iggy - thinking of you.
xx

C1NDY not bored at all....[taps fngers for friday]

Yellow - have you done a test hon? Something sounds slighty amiss on what you were expecting your cycle to be?

Kitty - you are just going to have to set your alarm clock half an hour earlier!

Iggy - we all need hope. Fingers are crossed for you too.

C1ndy - of course we aren't bored! Tks for Vaseline recommendation - my hands are like sandpaper at the best of times so must try it. In answer to your question yes I am still bleeding but hardly at all now. It's all but stopped now thank goodness. I guess I should count day 1 as CD1 which currently puts me at CD10 now. I am expecting a longer cycle now so not sure what to do really. There isn't much point in ov kits as I would get a positive based on excess HCG kicking around. I guess I should just keep doing pg tests every few days and perhaps start temping to see when I actually ov. Then we can start to test theories about fertility post mc.

yellow totally know what you mean about glimmer of hope - I was like that last month - but I have my fingers crossed for you xx

Fanks Wasabi you are right, we do. And if AF arrives next week then I will just make Feb my month. Many hugs to you at the mo - am hoping for post MC fertility for you xx

yellow - i agree with Wasabi. It does sound strange / unusual, so you should test.

iggy - yes, roll on Friday! I'm not sure when AF is going to arrive (if, let's keep the hope alive!). If I was working on my typical sort of cycle it would be around Friday too but because I did the Ov tests this month and Ov'd quite late in month - CD20/21 - I pushed back my AF due date til around Monday. But if i get no AF by Friday I will, stupidly, begin to get excited...I've had weird cramping feelings over the past hour and have been wondering whether it's implantation. I also, again stupidly, just feel that it could be my month...

just read back the above. exit the collected, together, philosophical queenie of this morning...and enter the crazy, delusional, tragic queenie gearing up for the angst and agony of the last week of the two week wait !

just did a first response (last one lying around except for cheapie internet ones) and negative - though if yesterday's bleeding was implantation (which I don;t think it was) then would today be too early for any hsg to be produced?

What miu is first response? Maybe I should do an internet cheapie which is10 miu. Curses for not saving first response until morning.
