CD9
uses temps/persona

Oh my god, Nemo, I'm so pleased for you
You must be absolutely thrilled.

(Well done with the order Rom!! Any idea when the next one is coming?? )

congratulations nemo- i want the spare babydust you didnt need!!!!
it had to happen for someone soon- good luck.
hello to Diddle , you will find everyone on here so supportive and its great to know we are all going through the same thing. I wasnt into the testing either but after 2 years of trying for no 2, i feel like its the only way......

Oh yes, the head office is doing a marvelous job.....lets hope they are processing all our orders as we speak!

DQ - quick question. The oxford study....is it a little gadget you have, like the persona? If you've already got it can you let me know what it is ? Just curious xx

Wow Nemo am specially thrilled for you!!!!!!!!
Who's next then? Obv hopefully me, but hmmm prob not thi mth me suspects

But all these + tests! this is all great news!!!!

ooh nemo big congrats - right i'm standing ready i'll have an extra big portion of baby dust please!

Nemo, that is fantastic news, I am so thilled for you.

Sorry not got time to post but good luck to anyone else due to test.

YEAH Nemo!! That is so great. Will have to read this LONG thread and post later once I know what is going on... Just couldn't miss the chance to congratulate Nemo!!

Argh! Must do research on OPKs before the time has passed. It is this month or not for another three months for us... Day 11 here and I think that I would need to start the POAT (loved that!) soon if not today. Any advice? Like, someone talk me out of it?!
Hereshoping, I see that you have still not fallen to the dark-side; perhaps I will be able to hold off as well. Hope this is your month!

cadmum, get opk testing! its not abad thing you know! It helps to know if youre o-ing at al during your cycles, as many people dont o every cycle. I have a 27-29 day cycle (or there abouts) and i started testing at about day 9. got it early this month (as opposed to last month i mean) by a couple of days.
Bella, i dotn have my machine yet, i wont until af has kicked in. (and shes NOT going to!) i understand from emails with the nurse, its like a persona in someways yes, but not in others. so thats NO help whatsoever is it?!LOL
somebody on mumsnet is already on the study -because they posted on our last thread and thats what made us all go and look it up!- so maybe they can fill you in more. I know its saliva testing and pee on a stick testing 'all in one'.
I think i might give in and test wednesday -approx 11dpo. youre going to have to literally pick me up if I get nothing but BFN again.

Afternoon Ladies,

Sorry I haven't been around much over the weekend. Looks like I have lots to catch up. I have only scanned throught the posting since Friday, so really need to sit down and read properly, but, firstly:

CONGRATULATIONS Nemo - what wonderful news. Take care of yourself for the next eight months and look after that precious cargo.

Who is next to test? DQ?, Rom?

George - how's the temps this morning. Hope you got the rise to finally get an ov date.

Bella - know exactly what you mean about time going so slowly. CD5 here and feel like it will be a lifetime until next week when we can get busy BDing. Wil be interested to hear how your reflexology goes this week.

Munz - I feel sorry for your DH. Poor guy is going o be completley exhausted by the time you have finished with him. Go for it

DQ - any symptoms? I am never really sure what symptoms are real and what are imagined with me. I want to be pg so much that I think I imagine a lot of it. Awful story about that bin lid who was posting on the other site. Just hope she never has to know the pain of losing her baby. She can have no idea of the trauma involved or she wouldn't be so silly.

Cadmum - come on don't back out of the OPK's now. You know you want to

Not really sure what we are supposed to do this month. Spoke to one of the nurses in the fertility clinic who made me feel about two inches high when I asked what would happen if we were to go ahead and try naturally even though we will be starting the nasal spray on day 21. She looked at me like I had two heads and asked had I heard of contraception and that we should use it. My own GP just told us to carry on as normal, so sorry but that is exactly what I am going to do. Really hope we don't have that nurse again for any of our treatment, she scared the life out of me and we will be under enough stress from the treatment without looking at her unsmiling face.

Thanks DQ - just interested to know what it involves before signing up. Also slightly nervous at breaking the news to DH as I think he feels like he is living with a bit of a nutter as it is with all the gadgets I have going on at the minute. Thank God for you lot as without sharing my cycle info I would simply implode with all the info going round in my head! I only share so much info with DH as he is a man after all and we all know their brains can only cope with so much "female" info
Nemo - getting a mental picture of you with a big toothy grin on your face.....lucky lady

wendy! missed you! I'm sorry that nurse was such a cow, why on earth shes in a caring proffession with sucha manner i dont know! stuff her! you carry right on and get pg and show her she knows nothing!
yeah i've got 'pg symptoms' but i always feel such a nutter having them; like you say, wanting something so strongly makes you doubt what you are feeling. i tell you what, if i happen to get a BFP , i'll list them all for you, if i dont we'll not mention them again!
bella i had worries about asking dh to sign here for that also. but i chose a moment not long after a break down (from me) about 'never' getting pg and life being sh*t. i was incrediably vague about it too, said i was trialing new fertitlity monitor and for some stupid reason he had to say it was okay if i did. he signed v fast and never uttered a word since. if you dontwant to sign up now i'll let you know what its like if i start it properly. assuming you and i dont catch on our current cycle anyhow!

Rom where you?

Wendy - looks like you and I are together this month then as I am on CD4. I particularly like you expression of a "bin lid" I may have to adopt it!
Nurse at clinic sounds like a right silly cow....honestly these people should be slapped!
DQ - yes might wait to see how you go with it (obviously doubting very much that you will be using it as you are heading for a BFP)
Cadmum - ooh am actually at the fact you will POAS......mmm....yes nutter alert!

Hi to all on this lovely sunny day.
You will be relieved to hear that my temp went up to 36.5 today so it's an ovulation!!
I will shut up about it now for a while - promise.
Wendy, I think you should definitely get the priority order this month so you don't have to see horrible people like that nurse again.
DQ, I'm intrigued by your p/g symptoms as I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be looking for (or imagining!!) Is it this Wed you are testing? How exciting. Fingers crossed for you.
Cadmum, buy more OPKs & start testing, you can never start POAT too early. You haven't got a hope of anyone talking you out of it on this thread!
Bella, surely not another gadget!?! You must spend hours in the bathroom in the morning! Is there some kind of POAT therapy available?
Glad you have someone else booked for your garden. I've been ruining our lawn by pouring boiling water onto some red ants who are daring to make their home in my grass!! Bought some plants earlier but can't be bothered to dig holes for them now. Keep using the excuse that I need to rest in case I'm p/g. Trouble is no-one else is going to do it, gardening just isn't DPs thing (along with decorating, cleaning, ironing, DIY........)
I think Rom must be busy preparing orders. This Christmas baby rush must be tiring

LOL george, your dp sounds just like my dh! gardening isnt his thing, housework isnt his thing, decorating isnt his thing, childcare isnt his thing...so ta-da! it all gets to be mine! I have never been very knowledgeable at gardening but suddenly 1/3 of an acre is all mine! so i kinda have to do something. tbh i have 'left' most of it, as wild and unruly as it was when we moved in, the bit near the house is kinda preened. if i actually knew what i was doing it might help!
george gadgets are GOOD, anything to shove this BFP our way is GOOD. read somewhere about BFP success coming after eating YAMS. yes seriously. am now checking out Yams in tescos and wondering if they taste good? apparently it must be the dark woody brown ones and not the 'sweet potato' ones. right.and its a regualr BOWL full. lovely.... yams for dinner soon then.
bella, think our dhs will be sending us to the padded cells soon?

Nemo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back later (busy busy busy)

ok thats all i had left in the cupboard....so i expect at least 2 more of u on the dec train..lol

I am still in shock and petrified cos pessimism is kicking in...o well we have won half the battle just 8 weeks ish to get through..lol

really happy for you nemo.....

ooh ooh bella/ wend I'm the same as u, CD 5 here. what's ur spray for wend if u don't mind me askin?

munz - we are starting IVF treatment - 5 years of trying, ready to start IVF treatment and out of the blue I got pg naturally but we lost our ds at 23 weeks. Have been trying now for 6 months and I mean TRYING. Like Bella, lots of gadgets in this house to pin point ov but doesn't look like it is going to happen naturally for us again so consultant has sent us back for fertility treatment. The nasal spray surpresses FSH and LH production so that the ripe eggs are not released from the ovary before egg collection. Goes along with injections to stimulate hopefully lots of little eggies to develop

Hi everyone

CONGRATS NEMO!!!! That's such encouraging news.

Munz, I heard that you should bd every other day otherwise the sperm count goes down, this gives the little guys a day to recover. I might be wrong tho'.

We are going to do the every-3-days-for-a-month thing I think, just to be sure. I have had 2 pgs on clomid and each time we bd every other day for about 3 weeks and it worked, we caught first time with both!

I have no idea what my cycle is doing atm, I am pretty sure I mc last month, shd have ov circa cd21 but got the ov pains cd13. This means I should have come on last Friday as I usually have AF 13 days after ov. I did 2 tests and both were bfn, and to be honest I am not really getting any symptoms (I think I imagined the queasiness), not compared to last time. So maybe I will get AF this Friday as normal regardless of the ov time. Strange. If not will test again but I am not hopeful. I don't know if I said but we have never conceived naturally before so I'm a bit worried in case we have a problem.

Right, off to stack the dishwasher!

K

wend - oh right god I thought I was unlucky (((hugs))) everything crossed for u then hon.

keira - yes I think u're right, but then again i've also read the 48 hours around OV u should BD 6-8 times, so i'm thinking if we bd 6 (i'll give him a bit of a rest!) times over the three days that should be ok. if it doesn't work this month then ill do the 3 day thing next month, as we tried every other day and it hasn't worked.

am going to put info of how much we bd oer ov as it might help i dont know?
on the sun night we bd
mon morn got so bd on mon am
mon aft
mon pm
tues am
tues pm

That was it really as dh was too tired on the wed..lol
