thanks kyte

You're ahead of me funtime - in fact from my temps which are erratic right now I think I'm in for one of my long cycles (39 days or so) with ovulation around day 25. I'm day 9 now so in for a long onewhich is annoying and exhausting because means I have to keep dh interested in shagging that long just in case.

kyte - thinking of you and hoping you get lucky this month...!

flintski - as kyte says, I was indeed convinced AF was on way this month so don't give up hope yet! It was only once I was three days late that I started to believe I might / could be PG...hang on in there. x

Yesterday afternoon I had no symptoms at all and started to panic but luckily sore boobs came back with a vengence last night. Although I'm trying to be calm and philosophical about what might be, it's hard. iggy and broodzilla - don't know how you both feel but good to be going through these few weeks together. Am off to see my doctor today to get things confirmed and (hopefully) get some reassurance. Also planning to contact the recurrent miscarriage unit and get the early scan booked that I have been promised.

good luck on the BD front funtime and yellowflowers. So hoping this is your month. xxx

iggypiggy · 09/03/2009 09:53

funtime - is true - am not feeling sick at the mo - which does make me worry.

Kyte am hopeful for you xx and you're right the rest of the stuff makes up for the rubbish boss

yellow sorry to hear you think it will be a long cycle - but hopefully a lucky one for you x

queenie is def good to be going through these weeks together - I don't even know what to do... wasn't sure when to see doctor etc etc. Like you, my symptoms went (and I started to worry it was cos of horse riding on Sat) but then they came back - and I just generally have strange poking feelings - nothing like peroid pains and occasionaly waves of sickness at the mo.

kittycatcat · 09/03/2009 14:05

Hello everyone. Just been playing catchup. What cheery news for a monday

Huge congrats to iggy and queenie [whoop]

Yellow - thanks for FF will have a look in a mo.

Iggy grrr re rubbish boss. I don't like mine either so can relate, but at least i don't have to sit near her etc.

I think i have ov'd? sticky but clear discharge...

wasabipeanut · 09/03/2009 14:22

Queenie - YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!

I knew it - I was so convinced your were pg from what you were describing. I'm so glad you're enjoying it and taking one day at a time. I am so happy for you.

Ray - Welcome! We are cranking out the BFP's sp fast here that we need lots of new joiners! Welcome to our little gang - it is very nice here I promise.

Funtime - fancy a test buddy. We're just 2 days different on our cycle I think - I am CD13 today.

Kittycat - sticky CM is meant to be a post ov type thing but on its own its not a perfect indicator. Temping or doing OPK's would help you to get a handle on it although both do admittedly tend to fuel the ttc obsession. Your call on that one!

No news from me really - still no sign of ov approaching. I have been temping this month as advised by Broodzilla because I knew my cycle was likely to be a bit funny. Still no changes there and my OPK's are still negative. This isn't an issue anyway - dh and I are having lots of fun and we are going away at the weekend for a night on the Norfolk coast near DH's mum and dad so if I happen to ov at the weekend that would actually be quite a result!

I hope those newly pg graepfruit juice drinkers are enjoying their moment and that the rest of us are feeling optimistic too.

xx

kittycatcat · 09/03/2009 14:31

Thanks wasabi just been reading up on FF and it's hard to tell what tyoe of CM i have had. Looks like Watery. . Have you any advice on temping? like what to use and do please . Have a lovely weekend in Norfolk. Hopefully you will OV

queenie1 · 09/03/2009 15:00

Thanks kittycat and wasabi - and thanks for encouraging me last week when I was so sure AF was on it's way!

wasabi - good luck with the BDing. Try to do it as much as possible this week with a crescendo session at the weekend. Me and DH conceived whilst away so lets hope you get lucky this month too.

I've just phoned the recurrent miscarriage unit who told me to get in touch next time I fell PG so as to have an early scan. I've now got one booked for two weeks today. So another two week wait...! My boobs are still sore and feeling very tired (I've just had a one hour nap!) but no signs of sickness. Sensible head says it's very early and you may not get it all all. Irrational, crazy head says something's wrong. Here's hoping for a heartbeat (and some sickness) in 2 weeks time.

Love to all

xx

kittycatcat · 09/03/2009 15:20

Thats cool. Two weeks will fly by. Let us know how you get on Will keep my fingers crossed for you. x

iggypiggy · 09/03/2009 16:32

wasabi we had a week on the Norfolk Coast recently - is lovely also you sound v. positive which is good - agree with queenie as much as poss worked for me xx

queenie that is good news about the early scan at least is only 2 weeks to wait. I read that I can't have one until 12 weeks as am under 35 and have no issues that mean I would need to have an early scan - but would love the reassurance.

kittycatcat thanks! And watery is good isn't it? means poss fertile time? Or am I wrong?

I just feel wierd at the mo... guess takes some getting used to!

kittycatcat · 09/03/2009 16:42

iggy yes i believe so. Hurrah. Can you get a private one earlier?

Ahhh, nasty tummy bug all last night and this morning, still feeling foul and a positive ov. test a couple of hours ago. Might just have to grit my teeth, lie back and think of Wales when DH gets home!

Count me in wasabi .

iggypiggy · 09/03/2009 17:22

am starting to worry about my boxfit class... do you think is safe to carry on? I keep reading conflicting advice.. one of them is quite intense... maybe I should tell the instructor and see what he says

Hey Guys,
Wasabi and Funtime count me in too i am on CD14 today although no sign of Ov and nothing on the OPKS so Wasabi we seem to be in the same boat.
Me and DH have been Bding like made for the last 5 nights expecting it to be here and well nothing FFS why does my body always change the rules when i least expect it.
Having a break tonite (tmi alert) am abit sore!!!! .
Lets hope Funtime and wasabi that we are the next 3 BFP s.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT !!!! Lots of babydust flying around.

queenie1 · 10/03/2009 08:44

Hi iggy - I'd quietly tell your boxfit class instructor who can advise you. They'll either recommend stopping or they'll help you tone down the work-out.

How are you getting on kyte and flintski - AF / testing time is coming up soon isn't it?

Saw doctor yesterday who was lovely and wished me lots of good vibes for this one and today, at least, I'm feeling positive.

For all those on the BD fest - enjoy! Never thought I say this after the pressure of sex every 2 days, but I'm really missing it (have been advised not to have sex for first 3 months given my history).

xx

ooh - have my fingers crossed for you kyte xx

Joolsiam · 10/03/2009 09:31

Iggy - re exercise - I was told by my GP that if something is going to go wrong, exercise is not going to affect it and to go about my regular gym routine during the first trimester.

I did tell my instructors - some Body Balance moves were amended and I was just told to take it easy in Body Combat. You are not supposed to let your heart race too fast or get too hot, and the guidelines I've read suggested that you should only exercise for 45 minutes at a time, so I stopped doing double classes for a while.

If it is a class you are used to, you should be absolutely find, but yes your instructor should know so that some amendments can be made if necessary. You will probably just get given lower impact alternatives to some moves and nobody else in the class will even notice

queenie1 · 10/03/2009 09:41

kyte - getting v excited for you. I'd probably do first response first as it's more sensitive I think than the internet cheapie's. How are you feeling?

iggypiggy · 10/03/2009 10:56

Jools & queenie v. sensible advice - I have emailed and texted the instructor - so hopefully he can get in touch with me before the class tonight.

queenie glad you feeling positive - your GP sounds nice. I've not personally seen a GP at my surgery since June 2007 - so no idea what they will be like really...

yellowflowers · 10/03/2009 11:30

I;ve just read on another thread that if you have pre period spotting for more than three months this could be a problem and you need to go to gp . Am surprised but am going to mention to my gp when I go on Mon.
