ClaireDeLoon · 05/06/2009 20:09

ei sorry she got you but glad you had good news from your HSG.

beanie how are you feeling?

PL how are you getting on with your exams? I hope you're relaxing with a drink of your choice at the moment

Shayera my oldest cat walks all over my laptop, it sometimes makes for some interesting msn convos

Jaamy also sorry she got you but glad you had a good camping trip. Where did you go?

stillstanding how goes the 2ww? Symptoms? Your post about the boob and digger truck did make me laugh

Same for spinky any symptoms? We should add you to the list - say what cycle day you're on and you say ttc#1 since Jan so is that cycle 6?

m2o do you think you've ov'd yet?

blackrock and glasto hope you are both OK.

Mollie, Zen, Sparkly and Lou hope it is all going well

Sorry if I missed anyone out.

ShayeraHol · 05/06/2009 21:04

Glad it's not just me who has that problem, claire! The big cat has also been known to send texts on my iPhone, as the touch screen is way too easy to use. He also once tried to register on Virgin Wines!

Am without easy mn acces for the next week - our phone line has broken and this isn't an easy site to use from mobile, so might be AWOL for a while. Everything in this bloody house is breaking, can't wait until we move and hope we sell before anything else goes wrong!

ClaireDeLoon · 05/06/2009 21:07

If my cat tried to register on Virgin WInes I'd buy him some prawns to say thank you

Thanks Claire- DD (Cecily) has just turned one, conceived on 5th cycle of Clomid. Much loved and much wanted! Hoping to follow up with a natural conception but no joy so far.....

Great news Mollie a December baby, just in time for Christmas

ClaireDeLoon · 09/06/2009 20:00

I have premenstrual sore boobs already - actually started yesterday. I think my cycles are getting shorter and shorter

PistachioLemon · 10/06/2009 08:28

Thanks Claire, I was really gutted actually and cried a lot on Saturday, silly me. My cycles are getting shorter and shorter too, 26 days is unheard of.

Are you on CD19? Are you sure the boobies aren't sore because of something else? Now that would be wonderful.

So everyone...where are you? And how are you all?

I had my last exam yesterday (yay!), and was quite naughty, went for afternoon celebratory drinks with college friends and got quite tipsy. Was lovely, haven't had anything much to drink for ages and ages. I then fell asleep on the train, got home, managed to stay up for a couple of hours, was in bed by 9pm and slept all the way through to 8am this morning. Great!

ClaireDeLoon · 11/06/2009 20:34

Thread's quiet!! Hope everything is OK.

PL glad that the exams are over, woohoo for the summer now!!!

beanie have you had your second scan or is it next week? Hoping for the best for you.

I rang to see what is happening with my gynae problems today - the secretary will ring me back tomorrow. I think I've been forgotten about not good when it's bloody private healthcare.

Time for an update.

My internet is back -this is undoubtedly a Good Thing. But where's everyone gone? You've all been v quiet!

PL, sorry to see you back at the top. Glad exams are finished - and don't blame you for getting tipsy! When do results come in?

How you doing Claire? Hope the premenstrual boobs are a symptom as suggested by PL!

blackrock, hope you're ok.

Mollie, yay! So glad it's all alright. Hope you can relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy now

Welcome pureeandpearls!

Ei, glad the HSG was good news!

Hi to everyone else!

Spotting started 2 days ago - I'm another one whose cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Although it's different spotting to normal - but I'm not really kidding myself with any hope (except the little bit that we always do!) as it seems very unlikely to be anything.

Will be moving house in 3 weeks, so next month am going to be WAY too stressed to get stressed about baby stuff! Hooray! Especially as I haven't sold my Wiltshire house yet, so all getting a little worrying...

ShayeraHol · 11/06/2009 20:43

We cross-posted, Claire! glad I didn't attempt the list update . Stupid clinic, hope they remember you tomorrow.

ClaireDeLoon · 11/06/2009 20:44

Spotting v implantation? I hope the latter cycle buddy!

ShayeraHol · 11/06/2009 20:53

I don't know - not like normal spotting, although wouldn't be able to describe it even if I wanted to be that TMI-like! But it would be a bloody miracle all things considered - plus I'd have pickled the poor little thing with the amount I've drunk this month so probably best not!

Molliemooma · 12/06/2009 07:37

Claire Any more symptoms apart from the sore (.)(.)? It would be nice to expect better service from private healthcare v NHS but it doesn't always happen does it? Hope you get some good news
PL What CD do you normally OV? If your cycles are getting shorter you might need to look into taking something to make them longer if you OV later in your cycle as you need at least 10DPO for the egg to implant. Sorry to hear you were feeling down when the evil one visited, but good news on finishing your exams
Shayer I so hope this spotting is different to the normal spotting, but if it isn't I'm going to go with the New house New Baby mantra instead
Blackrock How are things with you?
Beanie Thinking of you lovely, how are you doing?

PistachioLemon · 12/06/2009 10:13

Morning all, it's nearly the weekend now. Woohoo! So what have you all got planned?
My baby sister is coming to visit on Sunday so I'm really excited about that as I haven't seen her for ages. Mind you, she isn't really a baby any more, but because she's ten years younger I think she should never have sex or drink and should generally behave like a nun!

Mollie glad to hear your nuchal results are back and were good news. As Shayera says, hopefully you can have a relaxing and enjoyable pregnancy now.

Shayera I too hope the spotting is not period spotting, and I like Mollie's new house new baby mantra. So are you going to rent out your Wiltshire house until it sells? I'm trying to sell my Gran's house and it's just not going, despite being in a really good area and having reduced the price. Hopefully things will pick up soon.

Claire how are you doing? Have you still got the sore boobies? Any other symptoms? I'm surprised about the crap service from the private healthcare, when I was working and had healthcare benefits I always had really good service. Hopefully they'll come back with some good results for you.

Beanie and Blackrock hi!

What is it with these strange cycles? I'm glad I'm not the only one, although I'm beginning to think there might be something wrong with me.

I've been temping for three months now and I have ovulated around CD17 to 19 each time. I think I have on the other months too as I kept a little diary (in very secret code!). Anyhow, I thought that the luteal phase wasn't supposed to change much at all but if my temps are right it means that my luteal phase has been 15 days, 11 days and last month 9 days. I'm so confused.

Dh is going to the docs on Monday about something else but is going to mention that we've been trying and is going to ask for sperm tests because he had a tortion on his testicle when he was younger. He was told then by the surgeon that that testicle would shrink and produce less sperm but that the other one would make up for it, but we just want to make sure that it has.

So maybe I should go too and see what they say. What do you think? Is six months long enough or do you think they'll tell us to go away and try again for another six months?
