sorry c1ndy x-posted! I kind of think you can't put your life on hold for swine flu. But that is just my take on it - I guess we all have to do what feels right to us?

Any news Jools? Has AF arrived?

Everything's crossed that she's stayed away.

OnlyWantsOne · 20/07/2009 21:43

No AF for me yet, CD 30 very odd - still bloated but much more comfy than last night. Surely would have had a positive result by now if I was PG?

going to see my Dr on wednesday, going to tell him I want his help trying to convieve, and that since i blame him for poor info re the depro jab - he better help me"!!!!

Hope all well - DH is away til 31st of July, rubbish!

Hi All,

Well I bd this morning... OPK sticks turned pink last night... DH was not well last nite so I we did the deed this morning. I did feel wicked but hey! I am a girl on a mission. I laid in bed for 45 min before getting ready for work... yes, I didn't even shower!! oh well... as I said a girl gotta do what a girls gotta do...

Now my laptop is not working, think my DD spilt water on it but my IT dept at work are not happy, so I think they will take their time giving my laptop back today. So I have been trying to look up all the sites I have saved in my favourites... which is a nightmare. must remember to back these up on to a manual file for if ever it happens again (long sigh)

After I post this message, I will be able to flip the messages the right way around so that I can read them... so will post shortly on any.

OP posts:
OnlyWantsOne · 21/07/2009 09:01

Anyhooooo - still now AF, realy (TMI sorry) constipated, what can I take, to help... considoring now day 31 of my normal 24 day cycle?

Havent tested today...

what on earth is going on? With DD I tested using a clearblue digital and could have only been about 2 weeks, my period wasnt late at all, grrr

Hope all are well again today - as im new, would you ladies tell me more about yourselves?

C1NDY · 21/07/2009 09:03

Jools sorry to see AF arrived. How are you?

Iggy and Yellow I agree Swine Flu will be around for sometime and we can't put our lives on hold

OP posts:
OnlyWantsOne · 21/07/2009 09:06

** still no AF

kittycatcat · 21/07/2009 09:07

Hi onlywantsone have you tried liquorice for your constipation? Try bananas too!
So as you know i am not trying for a while due to planning my wedding. But i am 33. 34 next month. Came off the pill in january. My body seems to be doing as it should. Hurrah. I live in Billericay with my dbf, and work in covent garden. x

C1NDY · 21/07/2009 09:08

OnlyWantsOne Hi there, sorry you are still waiting to find out what is going on with you... can you not test tomorrow morning using first morning wee?

I am 40years old, already have a DD aged 2 and I might add will be 3 on Thursday! So I will be offline until next week Tuesday from Thursday. I really need to get my skates on as we would like one more to add to our family. Have MC twice, so am hoping the third one sticks... I am 3 stone over weight and am slowly losing the weight, but am not too overly worried as I walk and exercise and am eating sensiably (well most of the time). I am now in a loose size 16 and am striding towards getting into a size 14 by October. So am busy ttc and trying to lose weight!!

Vikks · 21/07/2009 09:57

Morning All,

Thought I?d answer OnlyWantsOne and tell everyone about me; I?m 32 DH 34. We?ve been TTC 2 and half years. Been under the Doc?s 18 months, the last year we?ve been private (trying to speed things up!) I?ve had a year of different Meds, scans, tests, etc. Had Lap and Dye done in Feb, found I had PO but still everything looked hopeful. My second operation is this Friday, Ovarian Drilling this time. Scared silly about it, I?m total rubbish at work this week - can?t stop thinking about it! My Doc says if this doesn?t work he?s moving me on to injections; which I have to do my self! I?m a wimp as you can see?Also trying the Clearblue fertility monitor next month thanks to advice from Engelbart.
Cindy ? Good work on the BD!
Jools ? Are you ok?

iggypiggy · 21/07/2009 10:17

Any news on AF onlywantsone?

I'll tell you about me too:

I'm 33 - Dh is 35 and we've been TTC properly since getting married last year. I got PG in February but had a MC in April at 10 weeks. So.. been trying again since then.. Have decided on OPKs for this month!

OnlyWantsOne · 21/07/2009 16:04

No AF as yet - no CM at all, and unfortunately, no BD as DH away x

OnlyWantsOne · 21/07/2009 22:12

Whooooooooooooo no AF yet, may i please get a tinnnyyy bit happy? Even though no BF+

got a dr appt tomorrow, what should I say / ask for?

sky27 · 21/07/2009 22:29

Hi all, I'm new on here. I am 27 and dh is 38. I came off the pill on the 1st July. Af started on the 4th July for 2 1/2 days. I had weird bloody mucus on the 17th and woke up the day after with really sore nipples, back pain and slight cramps. These have all stayed with me. my waistband also feels very tight on my trousers.

I spoke to the pharmacist who said it I would have to wait another two weeks to do a test?!?!

Am I going crazy can anyone give me any help, advice?

Good luck to everyone ;)

yellowflowers · 22/07/2009 09:03

thinking of all you waiting for af - hope it doesn't show. Any news jools?

Friend who is pregnant told me yesterday they had sex every day for six months!!!! We are so not doing this.

iggypiggy · 22/07/2009 09:14

yellow is funny you say that - DH wanted to try that - he read about it in some newspaper article...

C1NDY · 22/07/2009 10:15

Hi All... am I allowed to swear... well... F* etc.... I ovulated yesterday and we couldn't get another bding session in as DH is still ill. We were worried if we conceived that the baby would be born with a snout... So I only got to bd ONCE this month!!! which is pretty poor. So here I go again.... ROLL on next month!!!

OP posts:
C1NDY · 22/07/2009 14:04

Jools are you okay, have heard nothing from you?

OP posts:
yellowflowers · 22/07/2009 14:46

still possible cindy that you could have conceived with one bd.

where are you jools?

I had a twinge today - possible ovulation (or possibly not - who ever really knows) - will see if temp rises tomorrow. Def doing the deed tonight though.

I'd actually be up for every day but no way would dh. I mentioned the chat to him last night and he just got huffy I'd been talking about something so personal with a friend!

C1NDY · 22/07/2009 15:00

Yellow My DH knows I chat on here, he doesn't like it one bit but know that I use an alias name so no one can track me down and can link him with me... if you know what I mean! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. I am going to bd tonight any way... you never know just because the OPK are showing pink it doesn't mean its over. They were pink yesterday too, so I may still have a small chance.

I can't believe your friend bded for 6 months everyday... goush I am exhausted just typing the words.

Next month, I really want to have more bding sessions than what we have done this time around but I think another month of exercising and getting the weight down.

Okay, I am now out until next Tuesday. Will catch up with you all next week... which means will be my two week wait!!

OP posts:
OnlyWantsOne · 23/07/2009 09:13
