i am very honoured to start the april first thread (thanks george ) for the TTC for the cautious girls! (and not forgetting the blondes, dramaqueen )...and anyone else who like to join us.

please start with quick stats so we know where you're at, thanks

rom 38 yrs old
ttc no. 1
cycle 3 (after m/c end. dec 04)
CD9
uses temps/persona

george - no! i am feeling like hell, really nauseous today - no idea why - its a bummer

debbsy - pillow technique is raising your hips up on a pillow for better positioning but i think its a ttc myth - dont you george?

read this if you want to know more about EWCM

Oh poor you Rom. Is there definitely no chance you might be p/g this month?

Debbsy, never done the "bum on pillow". DP thinks I'm mad enough already collecting my pots of wee let alone bunging a pillow under my bum after sex!!

i wish....... 'fraid not george - AF well and truly arrived - how fair is that, nausea and AF - lifes a bitch!

diddle if you ve got ewcm then go for it!!!!

ahh sorry about af rom (((((hugs))))The scene is set sexy underwear nice meal glass of wine even put candles in the bedroom surrounding the bed rofl

I do have EWCM, thought it was a good sign. But no BD for us until one AF has been and gone. But it means that its on its way. Thats good thank you all.
My mom has treated me to a facial tonight which has totally relaxed me and also made me very emotional, came home and started crying. very weird.
Going to have a large glass of wine and cook the tea.
speak to you all tomorrow

Hi all,

I don't get time to to post often although I do try & skim read through the posts to keep up to date, then when I do get time I feel like I'll never be able to keep up with the conversations so i still don't post iyswim or am I just talking double dutch .

No sign of af yet.ov day 24, only had 2 af's since m/c which were 24 & then 23 so not sure how long this cycle will be! no pg signs either though. I am holding out on testing as I cannot cope with a bfn at the mo. I am 12 dpo so do you think I should just wait for af to come or test when 14dpo.

I feel like such a beginner at this as although i have had 3 pg's (1 ds), i have not really tried before or worried about it as much. I think i must have been more relaxed about it then but no matter what I tell myself about trying to relax over ttc now I can't.

Sorry for the rant!

LOL yellowbear, the statement certain to make you NOT relax is 'now relax'!!! dont worry, if you feel like testing go ahead, if you dont want to, well after a few weeks its going to be obvious right? so you'll be okay. ((hugs)) to you.
Rom, i'm sorry af is here again, maybe shes making a final appearance before her LONG leave? i have it all crossed for you!
george any darker lines yet? remember HCG doble every 48+ hours, so it can take three days or so to see a difference......
I saw my dr today, she moved my due date forward a day (to christmas day) but i suspect at a later scan they will move it back a day or so as i o'ed early this cycle. talking of scans i have my viability scan on may 6th. HATe the word viability, but am keen to see some good news. (please no more bad news, cant do any more of that) so torn between desperately wanting the scan here and being terrified of it...
wendy where are you? have i missed a recent post or are you hiding?
bella hows it going?cadmum? sick people better yet?
hi to all the new people posting here, i really hope your stay is a very short one....

Have been trying to keep up with this thread all day between making DS1 do his maths and english work and reading with and rocking a cranky 3 year old. DH actually dragged himself into work today as his inbox is piled-up to the ceiling and he only has 7 work days until he heads off to the Big Apple.

morning girls, i've half caught up witht he thread!

YB - some tests work 7 DPO so if u wanna go for it then u go for it hon, up to you. good luck thou.

Rom (((hugs)))) sorry about AF hon, put urself to the top of the due in jan pile! and yes I can walk today! yesterday/day b4 my hips were killing!

debs - we did the pillow thing for 3/4 months and it didn't work so now it's on to lieing like a plank straight down on the bed!

MM - sorry about SIL hon, try to ignore her it will be worht the wait cos we'll all get there even if we do go around the houses and car parks first!

Bella - I thought I read it in the manual, any how, I personally seem to OV on the second day, althou I didn't have cramps this time normally i have a split second of pain sort of breath away type pain.

Didn't manage to BD last night DH is coming down with 'man flu' besdies which if the DR asks for a sample from him today he can do it whilst we're there. so we BD on CD12/13 OV on 13/14, will be BD today as well (prob after the gyno apt) even if I have to pin him down we wil do it! so much for 6 times guess that comes next month!) not too hopefull we've managed it this month so I'm not expecting to be PG in two weeks time, will be out partying instead drowning my sorrows!

best go and wake him up now! and do brekkie!

morning munzie - these things never go according to plan do they. all this careful timing and planning and then d/h's always manage to be away/go down with man-flu/be in a grouchy mood! or something! as if it wasnt hard enough already... anyway sounds to me like you havent done badly dont beat yourself-up about the six time myth. george didnt do the six time special - or dramaqueen.

yellowbear, hi again, ooooh any news today? must be very tempted to test now. i held out 'til 14dpo but only cos of my temps and wasnt feeling optimistic (rightly so) - if i felt i was in with a good chance i'd probably test at 13dpo.

dramaqueen - we will all be praying for you for that scan date hon. christmas day due date - how wonderful, so glad some of us managed the christmas babes.

teuch/frizbe - what news from you guys?

Morning all ladies.

Yellowbear - nice to hear from you, you are CD25 now so will be keeping my fingers crossed that you get some good news.

DQ - wow Christmas Day for a due date, how fab!

Rom - hope you are feeling better today, sooo unfair for you to be feeling shite and have AF! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Wendy - have you got a ey face yet?

Well second day of "O" on persona and have woken up with silly negative thoughts that its all been a waste of time this month. Not sure where this feeling has come from, I think I just feel like its all such a great effort and on my mind all the time that I am having defeatist thoughts.
We have bd every day this week and totally to order last night when we both didn't really feel like it that I think next week I am only going to bd on just the "O" days of persona as all this every night for a week is starting to feel like such a chore!
Sorry for the moan, will go make myself a nice cup of tea and get on with some work.

keep your chin up Bella, it only take that one lucky time, never mind bding every night, some books even say every OTHER night for 'top quality' sperm. so dont worry,...and you have those lucky tests coming too! it Is all mind consuming but you can get there. you too Rom, chin up, you'll get a staff bonus order asap! look at me I only did bding twice in pre o time, and here i am.......
munz, uh-oh! man flu! dont they always get sicker than any one else in the world?
rom thanks for kind words about scan date. its a very scary time. not sure christmas day is absolutely great planning when i think of all the knock on effects it could have, but dont care, just delighted to be pg and have a due date! not to mention the best excuse ever not to do all cooking thsi year!

Morning all, Dramaqueen what great news congrats (don't think I've said that already have I?

Munz fingers x'd for you

Thanks for asking Rom, still no af? sure will turn up sometime today or tomorrow, not wasting tests until the weekend now (says she, honest!) gona take dd to playscheme now, so ttfn and good luck to all.

lottielou - you here today? i don't think i could cope with just having my pc at work and not at home. I'm too addicted to all these threads.
Any sign of AF yet?

Thanks DQ - am just being a bit "sorry for self" mode, its just such a lot of effort to keep up hope for each month!
Right onwards and upwards.....

Good morning ladies,
Sorry but be prepared for a moan....CD 15 and still no face. Feeling totally crap this morning as was so sure that I would have ov'd by now - lots of egg white CM, but definitley haven't ov'd as temperatures haven't gone up. Also this month temperatures have been a bit zig-zaggy, not my usual and I have this horrible feeling that for the first time since we started ttc about 5 years ago that I am not going to ovulate this month. Not what I was hoping for as I was really convinved at the begining of this cycle that we would be successful this month and not have to go through the whole IVF thing. Lots of BDing at what I thought was the right time because of CM, but looks like it has all been in vain. Looked at some of the anovulatory charts on FF this morning and it seems you can have egg white CM and not ov as many of the chart has patches of it recorded. Think someone must be trying to tell me something OK going to go off and crawl into my hole and wallow in self pity for a while. Sorry no personals this morning. Maybe feel a bit better later on. Truthfully think the only thing that will make me feel better is a face on an OPK or a temperature rise.

Morning ladies
Feeling very down in the dumps today. DH is still not feeling up to it last night and the last time we bedded was on Sunday night. Got a fainter line on the opk stick yesterday evening so I think we have missed it this month. I am very upset and want to give up totally. I am now feeling very anti DH right now as I hoped this month would be it using the opks. I had two dark lines on the opks on Monday and Tuesday. My ttc though is confusing me as it was 36.3 yesterday and now 36.5 but it never goes very high or stays high for long, very erratic. I am using a digital thermometer that I got from the garage, £2.99 instead of £6.99 with so much petrol we bought, It is brilliant but I am not sure it is the correct one to use.

Could anyone give me some support and advice right now, as hit rock bottom today.
Bev

Hey Diddle, i'm here!
Been catching up on last nights messages! And trying to resist posting so early! Like that worked!
Feeling a little crappy today, must've been all that enthusiasm yesterday! LOL
How are you feeling today? No sign of AF Had a few little cramping twinges tho! Hmmm, first time i'm actually willing AF to come and happy to get pain!

WorriedBev and Wendy, looks like we are all feeling the slump of the ttc!
Wendy - weird no ey face yet. You are bding though just in case though so covering the bases. Lets not give up just yet until the fat lady sings and AF arrives.
WorriedBev - sorry DH hasn't been co-operating this month, very frustrating! You did get some little swimmers up there on Sunday though so could still be in for a chance.
Ladies, this is the hard part, lets just keep with it and carry on trying........I mean what else can we do??

I think we are all feeling low today. I had quite a teary evening so am feeling the remnance of it today.
You're right tho Bella what else can we do apart from keep trying??
It's soooooooooooo hard to stay positive all the time but comming on here and moaning makes us realsie we aren't the only ones going through hell.(and back)
We WILL get there, all of us!

Bella, Wendy & W Bev, I'm so sorry you are all feeling down today.
Bella, You've done so much BDing, Im sure this is your month. Plus you had your reflexology, plus you get to use the l*ky p/g tests. The 2ww will go quickly, esp if you start testing on about 9DPO.
Wendy, I think the appears when you least expect it so I'm sure it will arrive tomorrow for you.
W Bev, I only BD'd twice over O time & not on O day at all. Your DHs little swimmers can live for 5 days so don't panic!!

Hi Y Bear, I think it sounds like testing time in the next couple of days. I hope it is some good news .

Right, I have an admission to make.
I know I said that I'm waiting until DPs birthday on Monday to do the official, expensive First Response test, well.............I accidentally did it about 10 mins ago with some mid morning wee and, it's there, it's a BFP
Think I finally have to admit to myself that I am, really pregnant.

Arh george - LOL at the accident during mid morning wee!! HOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Praise be for the expensive tests!!
Thanks for words of encouragement, am snapping myself out of mood
