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

morning girls,

rom - thanks hon! I won't forget it! lol.

any thoughts on a new thread this one's taking ages to load up now.

CD19 here, nothing new to add, DH has gone off of BD wanting to 'save' it for my days - bless him but I've said nope every 3 days to keep every thing healthy, althou he's still chuffed to bits his count was 32 million which I believe is 10 mil above the average (bless him! and in his words I wan't even trying to give a full sample!)

Morning Ladies,

Totally confused now!?!? +ve OPK on CD16 (Friday) so thought yea just a longer cycle that normal here we go. Another +ve on Sat, another on Sun and another this morning, so now on CD19, 4 +ve OPK's and no temperature rise. What is going on? Fertility friend says I could ov between CD16 and 21, it could be anytime for all I know now.

Have to go tomorrow to collect our drugs for IVF and meet with our consultant and now worrying myself silly that this is going to delay our IVF treatment in some way and of course we all know that worry doesn't help ovulation - what a horrible spiral we get ourselves into.

Had to go this morning for DH and I to have our kidney scan, so everything is ok in that department and while we were there she scanned all our internal organs so at least we know that all the rest of our insides are functioning well. You always worry that a scan could show up something that we were not aware of that could put this whole ttc thing into perspective IYKWIM.

Hope everyone had a good weekend - Bella how was your break in Bath? Any good news yet?

Have my second acupuncture appointment this afternoon so looking forward to that.

Catch up with you all later

lottielou - my weekend was ok, its gone very fast. We visited my sister saturday and stayed overnight and then went to the garden centre on the way home and bought 2 rose trees to remember our lost little ones. I just need to look after them now. I thought my DH might think it was a bit daft but he liked the idea and insisted on getting them there and then.

Sorry if anyone has already mentioned this but i have found out what SANDS bracelets are, They are being sold by SANDS in memory of all the children we have lost. There is a thread with details about them in it.

SANDS wristbands

If anyone would like more info i have an order form in PDF.
CAT me if you want a copy and i will email it to you.

quick question guys,

CM - if we had been lucky would it still feel thin and EW ish? only ask cos for the past two day's esp todya i've had it, then again, it's not really gone since OV'ing. it's an early sign of AF as well, normally happens a weekish b4 AF. what do u recon?

Diddle - I have just been over to that thread and started to read the messages, wow your right it's so powerful, had to stop reading it for a minute as my eyes started streaming. What a lovely idea tho, i shall certainly be getting some.
And your idea of the Rose bushes is wonderful, what a great way to remember your lost little ones if you dont mind i too will be taking a trip to the garden centre after work this eve.
I feel very emotional now but it's a kinda warm emotional feeling. iykwim? I really do love the idea of the roses!

lottielou - of course i don't mind, wasn't my idea anyway, another mnetter who has m/c suggested it to me and they have done it too. I thought it was a nice idea.
mine are pink and red.

Well i think it really is a lovely idea!
I was thinking white and pink but will have a look tonight!

handbag - this time i think i am correct in commiserating about AF but wonderful news about DD - how cute - more work for you running around after her now though!

wendy - ???? 4 positive OPK days - what is going on? well i guess good old ff will be able to tell you in a few days time - poor you - must be exhausted with the bd'ing by now!

munz - i sometimes get another patch of EW before period - i think that is perfectly normal, if a little confusing. ff says you can get patches of fertile looking fluid at other times of cycle - i guess thats why you have to interpret all the signs together.

bella where are you today?

i'm on CD7 and feeling tense - reeeeeeeeeeeally really really want it to be this month for that jan. baby.

hi there well i went to the docs this morning and he has advised that i rest for a few days and see how i go i explained the bleeding and he said that as its not vast amounts try not to worry (yeah right) so im gonna do another test later and tomorrow if i was losing the baby when would a test not show a bfp ???

hi all not been on for a while

wendy hope ur eggs r making up for lost time and maybe they know its their last chance???? good luck to u hun

munz...cm can increase before af but it also increases a hell of a lot when pg..believe me

Express try to take gps advice hun and rest

Rom and bella..hugs to u both miss u guys

take care all

expressmummy - i had a BFN a week after both m/c's but please stay positive it could just be a little implantation bleeding.

munz i had cm all month and i got a bfp

well still no ov (5days after i should have) and no AF either- done preg test-BFN....

rest up expressmummy.....

im really confused (whats new eh?). because of the spotting at the beginning of the month my dates are up the wall but basically just plotted all the details of today into fertility friend and its says im "fertile". this is because my temp has gone up by 2oc and my CM is watery but not what i call EW, however my opk says a BFN.....

em/nemo - thanks girls, that's made me a bit happier, I have loads of other twinges as well, backaches and such likes well I guess we'll just have to see.

MM (((hugs))) hang in there hon, u never know till AF comes.

EM - now u put ur feet up and rest young lady! lol, also eat lots of choc!

Rom - good luck hon and get BD!

Hi folks,

I'm at the boring part of the cycle (CD5), end of AF so no BD-ing yet...so it's good to keep up with everyone else's news!

Can I put in a special order for that January baby please because anytime after that and I will be living on a remote island with the nearest hospital two ferries and about a 5-hour journey!

expressmum - I know others have said it but just try and take it easy...there is nothing that you can do at this stage except keep fingers crossed, and don't waste money on doing PG tests as they will show BFP regardless of what is going on inside!

Hope we have LOTS of graduates this month!!

lottielou - have you been on the thread below.

ttc after miscarriage

I think i'n going to zip between the two. which will mean more reading but its keeping me going at the moment.

Diddle - No i haven't but i will join you there x

Evening all ladies, just got back from weekend in bath that was fab, really relaxing.

GEORGE - A MASSIVE THANK YOU for the package i got through the post with all the tests, I am so touched and am hoping that they work for me and then i can pass the rest on.....

Well in bath I drank the spa water as supposedly helped Queen Victoria when she was TTC and lit a candle in the Abbey (even though non religious really) in the prayer for a baby. Think I covered all bases whilst there i think.............yes nutter alert!![GRIN]

Handbag - sorry to hear about AF although as you say we thought it was on the cards this month but how lovely that your baby took her first steps.....ARH!!!

Wendy - so you got your ey OV then.....I think it is possible for it to be over a few days, perhaps picked the hormone up really early. Well that's good news, is the acupuncture working? Do you feel more relaxed for a start?

Rom - how are you ? CD7 eh? The nailbiting time.......hope you are in the back office preparing your own order....sending lots of positive thoughts over to you

Nemo, DQ and George - hope you are all well and that we can all be on a thread together really soon as I miss you guys!

hi all hope everyones well on to ww now as on cd 14 but calista told me i had ovulated so playing waiting game dont mind tooo much though as off to Cuba end of May (would swap for the bfp though) xx oh and blood tests on cd 20 to follow up.

hi nemo - thanks for coming to see us - it means a lot to us hi to george and dqueen too - hope you are all getting bigger by the day ladies!

bella - so glad you had a lovely time in bath. oooooooooh can i say an early happy birthday?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's nearly tomorrow!

hi rom hi bella happy birthday for tomorrow hope you have a lovely day Sorry your having such a rotten time expressmummy.Hi hula hi munz you 2 ok?Now this is an embarassing question but you when you have cm mine was quite dry today does anyone who what that means please?

debbsy - cm dries up pretty quickly after you have ovulated so i guess it looks like you are in 2ww.
