Thought I'd take the plunge and begin new thread to follow on from this one thread

All welcome.

Hi sifuentes - how many people on your thread? Maybe we should merge threads for the next one (though of course as title says we will all have graduate by then!! I wish...)

Well I am feeling sick right now - this could have been because I have just eaten lots of chocolate raisins. I also woke in middle of night last night to pee but this is not that unusual in itself (as in if I wake up in middle of night I usually have to pee though most nights I don't wake up). Yesterday I was so tired I had to have sleep when I got hom before dinner.

But I am only 5 dpo so probably just a bug - in fact am sure just bug as feel generally quite grotty.

Hi ladies - our thread has the very catchy title of "july august where is (etc etc)"

swing by whenever you fancy it! x

Hi everyone, it's been ages since I posted, am almost too embarrassed to come back again! . I kept putting it off til I had time to write a proper post but that never seems to happen.

Anyway..... flipping heck, how many BFPs??!!! Huge congrats to everyone, it's been an amazing month on that score. I would love to say that I have one too, but alas, no, not this month for me. Not that AF is here yet, but expecting her arrival on Friday or Saturday. Have absolutely no symptoms and a string of BFNs since last weekend, so am gutted. But, am now planning next months BD strategy already. Looks like I'll be busy over the Easter weekend!

Hi Whatsfortea - you and me both! My AF hasn't showed yet but am getting a little brown spotting which means it is sure as hell imminent. Expecting her today. Bitch.

Glad someone is still posting - we are very quiet lately!

Well after getting soaked taking ds to nursery (well, walking back from nursery to be more accurate) I have cheered myself up with a secnd cup of coffee. No point going easy on the caffiene now. And I am going to have the rest of camembert sitting in my fridge for lunch!

waves at whatsforteas and wasabi.

Well high temp today (6dpo) but usual fistfuls of hair coming out when I washed it in shower so probably not pregnant as I know one of the signs is hair stops coming out. Grumble grumble. Plus my tea this morning tasted as delicious as it ever does.

yellow - my hair is still coming out in shower and I'm nearly 7 weeks PG! so don't write yourself off yet because of that...

wasabi and whatsfortea - sorry to hear you think AF is on it's way. I hope you're wrong.

Hi Ladies, well no AF I was expecting her this morning. I am not feeling PG though and BFN with First response couple of days ago is a big clue that I have not been successful this month!

I too have enjoyed more cups of coffee than usual today - well I may as well live a little

no AF is a good sign Pinkie

That's good re hair queenie.

I was expecting AF this AM so it is strange that it is not here. I am not feeling excited though as am pretty sure that AF will be with me soon enough.

Yellow, i have to say as queenie did that although am only 4+3 my hair is still coming out and my tea also still tastes ok. How high was your temp today? was it alot higher then the last ones. I had a spike at 7DPO it went up about .8 degrees so could be a very good sign.

I am very tired today, couldnt wake up this morn and have felt like i want to go back to bed all day so hoping it is a sure sign everything is going ok.

Had some good news in that i got offered the job i went for that i didnt want but as now have found out am PG need to get a job otherwise wont get smp which we will need and need money coming in until bean is born. Still praying bean sticks good and hard and doesnt let go. The days are mon,thurs,fri and sat 8am til 6pm so i get 2 days off in the week and sun they are pretty good hrs realy so cant turn it down. start on the 20th april so gives me 3 and abit weeks to spend with DD and 2 of those are easter hols so that will be nice.

Pinky i hope you get BFP soon if Af hasnt arrived there is still a chance. Good luck

Wasabe so sorry Af is on her way hope next month is your month lots of baby dust your way.

Thanks Ray - temp was 36.71 today (up from 36.46 yesterday) but right now I am exhausted and very hot to the touch so I think likelihood is I am coming down with some kind of flu type thing. Have work commitment can't get out of toight including making a speech but just want to go home and sleep.

Oh whatsfortea I'm sorry to hear that.

P1nky - line hasn't arrived yet either! Plus my spotting has stopped. Very odd. I'm not getting the Appletise on ice just yet though as I've been here before.

No other symptoms apart from vile smelling cat food that I actually have to put in the garden because it smells so gross but I've had that for nearly 2 weeks so there's no way that could be a symptom. Sadly the most feasible reason is that my cycle is still messed up.

thankyou wasabi. It's finally hitting home now, so I've made a docs appointment for next week, to drag me and DH off to get some tests done. Should have done it before now really I think, seeing as we're getting on a bit. Before now I didn't really seriously consider that there is anything wrong, especially as I conceived after a few months of trying last year, but it doesnt seem to be happening again.

Fingers still crossed for you, and pinkyblue and yellow, there is still hope, while AF stays away!

whatsfortea - how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

ray I completely forgot to say congratulations on your new job. Well done honey.

My temp dropped today (7dpo) and don't feel I'll like yesterday so must have had passing bug, and unlike previous nights I slept through with no need for a middle of the night wee.

yellow not sure on the celius as i use feirnheight but a drop at 7dpo can be a good sign. according to ff i had a drop at 7dpo and the massive ise at 8dpo so there is still hope for you yet. with temping i think you are meant to use a thermometer that gives you like 36.8 or in my case 97.8 as that gives you a better idea of what is going on. i have a book called 'taking charge of your fertility' and i have to say it is bloody fantastic i brought the book after 5 yrs of ttc learnt ALOT o things and fell pg first month of putting it all in to practice i would recommend it to anyone.

i did another test last night at about 6ish after i had a a cup of tea and the pg line was stronger than the control line am hoping it is a very good sign.

Funnily enough I got the Taking charge of your fertility book from Amazon today. Read some chapters this morning and I am doing it all right I think! I also temp with bbt. Yay. Also got letter through from GP so I can go online today and book fertility clinic appt. This is good news right, so why do I feel rubbish about it and reluctant to follow through?

wasabi am 39......

a friend of mine has just lent me her 'Taking charge...' book - she is same age as me and is on her 3rd dc. Obviously worked for her, so am hoping that the book will give me some of her fertile vibes (just by having it by the bed, not reading it or anything daft like that).

Yellow - its prob because it sort of confirms that you are having problems ttc IYSWIM. By making the appt you are acknowledging that you think its taking too long?

Popping in to check when the next batch of BFPs are due . Good luck wasabi and pinky and keeping fingers crossed for you.

I'm being thoroughly neurotic at the moment and the knicker-checking is reaching epidemic proportions . Mind you, I'm weeing for my country, so plenty of opportunities. Every tweak and twinge causes panic, especially today as I don't feel as foul as I have done this week. The ludicrous thing is that I shouldn't be feeling too bad as I'm only in my 5th week. If I can get to 7 weeks, I'll begin to think that it's possible as all my 'normal' mcs (i.e. ones with bleeding) have been in week 6.

I'm absolutely knackered, but I'm home today and DS is at his Grandma's so I might indulge in a little nap later !

Meant to say that I did the 'using an ovulation strip as a pregnancy test' experiment at 14 dpo and it worked, really clearly.

Might do another one later for the sheer fun of it !

fingers crossed for wasabi and pinky

Had comedy conversation with a friend of mine yesterday - it was first time I'd seen her since she had her baby and she spent much of the time explaining to me the ins and outs of getting PG - and telling me there were such things as ovulation predictor kits

I have not told anyone about ttc - nevermind about the BFP - so I was meekly nodding and saying 'ooh I didn't know that' she will laugh when I tell her!

Hi ladies well AF arrived this morning so another month with out the BFP. Oh well, will try again this month. Had a chat with DH this morning and both agreed that last month it all seemed very stressful and took the fun out of trying. It is so difficult as it is hard not to get stressed out about it. I think it was particularly bad this month as it is a year this weekend since my MC and I had hoped that I would be PG again by now.

I have decided to start temping this month and see if that helps.

Any news Wasabi hope you are still in the running.

Yellow I know what you mean about having mixed feelings about going to the fertility clinc but you will feel better once you go. WHen i struggled to TTC my 1st child it was strangely after my inital appointment that I fel PG with DS. So you never know!!

Funtimewinces I feel for you constanly worrying, but it is good sign you are feeling so tired. I remember feeling loads of funny twinges when pregant with DS and DD and everything was absolutely fine

Hi Ladies, just updated the list.
