I have to say I haven't watched The West Wing either... I haven't even heard of it!!!

Kran I am also on my first cycle... on CD18..so I am on the same boat as you are

Trixel I thought you were farther out using this little machine... We are only one day apart from using it!! I am CD18... with no peak! booo

AnguaVonUberwald · 26/06/2009 06:42

bellasyummymummy - congratulations, so pleased for you, wow, the first to graduate.

Best of luck to the rest of us for this month.

I am on CD6 now and, as expected, not been asked to pee on a stick yet (peaks on days 18/19 last month)

Here we go again!

NewMember · 26/06/2009 07:48

Morning Ladies!

CD 10 today and got my 'high' this morning! Managed to BD Wed night and Last night (def not doing it every night) - although I will on both Peak days!

Fingers crossed

cyncan · 26/06/2009 16:23

Angua, you give me some hope.. I am on CD19 and no peak... I am still hoping peak comes this weekend.

How are you ladies today?

cyncan · 26/06/2009 16:25

Newmember good luck!!! Fingers crossed for you!

engelbart · 26/06/2009 16:37

Yay for a high newmember!

But sorry you didn't get your high today cyncan. I definitely think its coming off the pill that may be causing havoc with the machine. On a plus note I read today that women who've just come off the pill are VERY fertile in the months after

I was awake all night with AF cramps. Feeling better today thank god.

Baby have you tested yet or still doing it tomorrow?

cyncan · 26/06/2009 16:48

Engel I hope that plays out to be true, and that fertility kicks in! This weekend peak or no peak I will be BDing, you never know. hehe

I really hope your cramps are signs of BFP!!! Are you feeling any other symptoms? Some friends say that tender breasts are the first signs.

I will be sending all my positive vibes to you and Baby, even if they will be coming from the other side of the ocean, I am sure they will reach you!

Buena suerte amigas!

babyinacorner · 26/06/2009 17:14

Hi all

Engelbart - yes am testing tomorrow morning but I think i already know the answer! Sounds really hopeful for you though with all those cramps!

Cyncan -thanks for the good luck vibes - good luck yourself with a weekend of bding

Bellasmummy - huge congrats to you!

Baby x

engelbart · 26/06/2009 17:38

baby- do you think you will get a negative tomorrow then? Have you had any symptons?

cyncan- BDing at the weekend sounds eminently sensible as you never know you may be HUGELY fertile at the moment! I may do some just for shock horror, fun! Feel a bit guilty about taking advantage of DH during fertile times but then ignoring him for the rest of the month!

babyinacorner · 26/06/2009 19:36

Engelbart - yes 90% sure it's a negative - got no symptoms whatsoever

Know what you mean about ignoring the dh the other weeks of the cycle - to be frank though i'm absolutely shattered after the fertile window!I do try though otherwise he gets in a mood and when it comes to the right time threatens to boycott!!!

engelbart · 26/06/2009 20:07

baby- no symptons can in themselves be a sympton! Make sure you let us know how you get on .

babyinacorner · 26/06/2009 21:22

you are right -who knows whats going on in there only tmrws test will tell! Will test with first wee of the day and come on here and let you know afterwards - look forward to hearing about your bfp tmrw morn

cyncan · 26/06/2009 22:28

baby and engel, I will probably be sleeping when you are testing... but all the luck to you two!! I hope to wake up and read the good news... aaaand my peaks.. lol

fingers crossed!!!

Trixel · 27/06/2009 06:43

well this is ridiculously early, especially after we didnt get in until 1.30am - my mum stayed over with the kids and we went out with friends. but one of the kids woke up at 5.30am - aargh, 4hrs sleep!
anyway - just wondering about you engel and baby, have you tested yet??? and any peak today cyncan?? CD7 today angua - good luck this cycle! how's everyone else?

BellasYummyMummy · 27/06/2009 07:18

engel are you testing today too????? good luck to you and baby!!!

cyncan, i didnt get a peak until day 23 i think, hope you get yours today!!

trixel you are up early today!

Kran · 27/06/2009 07:25

I've got a peak this morning. Day 25 of a very regular 28 day cycle.

Trixel · 27/06/2009 07:35

praps you're having an odd month kran - i'm usually 28/29 days but have had the odd cycle where i've been 35 days. it was before i was using the monitor, but i suspect that on those cycles i would have ov'd around CD25. get bd'ing!
how are you feeling bellas? any sickness yet?
engel, baby - get up!!! get weeing on those sticks girls!

BellasYummyMummy · 27/06/2009 07:39

lol trixel, let them enjoy the lie in! wish i was still in bed instead of obsessing over EDDs and calculating them all wrong!! my monitor is flashing m at me today, so i took the batteries out. i wonder how it calculates when AF is due?? i dont know what to put as my cycle length when trying to work out how far along i am. no symptoms yet, i didnt have too many with DD and had slight ms starting around 5 weeks so not getting worried just yet at my lack of symptoms.

kran- dont worry about it, get back in bed and get busy!!!!!

Kran · 27/06/2009 07:54

Thanks

I have had a very rare longer cycle in the past, so maybe this is another.

Now....must go and wake DH.

Good luck to everyone.

babyinacorner · 27/06/2009 08:01

BFN

onwards and upwards....

Trixel - our ds is up everyday now between half five and six, i'm slowly going insane!

engelbart · 27/06/2009 09:19

My goodness ladies you're all up early today! I've just crawled out of bed - dh has gone for a run (in the burning heat) Can't say I'm into exercise myself!

at your BFN angel. Is your period due today soon, maybe you've tested too early?
I've decided not to test (sorry ladies!) Have all my usual period symtpons and period is due on Tuesday (just in time for a presentation I have to do at work which I'm already really nervous about). I know if I do a test and it will be a BFN I'll still be disappointed even though I'm expecting it, if you know what I mean!

Bella- when is your AF officially due? Its so annoying that the machine can't tell you a) that you're pregnant and b) how far along you are. But then its in their interests not to I guess, that way we have to spend even more money to buy pregnancy tests etc. Annoying though.

Trixel- hope you manage to catch up on some sleep today, an afternoon nap maybe?

Kran- before I started using the monitor I had a very weird 35 day cycle when I'm normally always 28/29. I think sometimes our bodies just go off and do their own thing just to annoy us! So frustrating though. Like Trixel says I'd get bding anyway just incase!

cyncan- I wonder what time it is in Washington DC you may well be enjoying a lie-in!

engelbart · 27/06/2009 09:20

Sorry that should be baby, not angel. Where did I get that from? You can tell I haven't had my first cup of tea of the day yet!

AnguaVonUberwald · 27/06/2009 09:28

so sorry to hear about the BFN baby - and Englebert, I hope you do get a BFP when you test, you never know - its not all over until the aunty flows.

Kran - you just never know do you, the monitor could just be getting to know you and be wrong, on the other hand, this could be why you have been having trouble, is this your first?

My peak was on d 18/19 last month and I had AF on day 30. i am on CD 7 today, so think I will be asked to start peeing on sticks on CD9!

Fingers crossed for this month.

NewMember · 27/06/2009 10:13

Another 'high' day for me

bigbrofan · 27/06/2009 11:56

congratulations bellasyummymummy - so happy for you.

i have no clue when i will test - i will try and leave it as long as possible so i can get an early pregnancy scan. because i had a silent miscarriage i dont trust just pregnancy tests. i am so hoping i am pregnant...i have slightly tender boobs but i get this before AF too. i have been having slight small cramps in my tummy.... what symtoms did you have bella??

xxxxxxxxxx
