********** JULY BUS **********

[aideesmum]

Hi all,

I've just checked and if it happens this time I'd actually be due early July. Please feel free to join me on this bus:

aideesmum TTC#2 UCL 30-34 CD2

well technically latest you could test anytime from now being as you are 5 days off the red tide of doom but of course leaving it longer means a more accurate result....do with that information what you will!

jollster don't say that! You're not over the hill yet

oo oo louja want some more mentalist ss'ing?? I now have a stabbing pain in my left boob. Oh yes. I think I'm just on for a massive bleed but who knows! You're right btw, it's more likely to be Friday isn't it? I mean, I have plenty of tests! I wish I'd paid more attention too, but it's 4 years ago now so who knows how good my memory is?!

Started on my OPK today. Neg though am not expecting to Ov until Friday

oo nymph is Saturday the Big Day? Are you and dh to be seeing each other the night before?

hi all.

lou nice of you to miss me, (as it were)

Haven't really had anything to say tbh, am feeling really down at the moment. I'm certain I'm not pregnant but that might be a god thing cos dh informs me he doesn't feel part of this family, and that I constantly criticise him. TO be honest all he ever does is moans at the kids, nothing is ever good enough. He's starting up a new company at the moment and everything is incredible stressful and busy but it's not just that. It feels to me that nothing we ever do will be up to his very high standards.

With that and worrying that my 14 yr dd is pregnant, it's all getting on top of me tbh.

I am one of those people that just gets on with it, but I really can't be bothered to carry on just getting on with it.

Now I'm gonna have a big barney with xh tomorrow cos it turns out his partner has been offering said dd fags, saying, well she's not my dd, not my responsibility. She has accused dd of nicking money from their house, ( dd says no and I believe her). She's been looking for a reason for them never to visist for 5 yrs.

See, can't even type I'm so upset. I just cry all the time, and I sooo want another baby and I just know It's not gonna happen now. I know that sounds really shallow when I have 5 gorgeous dc's but I can't help it.

whoops, and you wwsw Due on next Monday I think, 26th is that about right?

wwsw sounds quietly promising Imo .

So who is gonna POAS first? Whos due soonest?

I will probably hold off till Friday...

oh lia I know it's entirely un-mn but you just need a hug and a cup of tea made for you! (always works for me..). Ignore dh, he's just stressed with his new business and as we all know men can only deal with one thing at a time. As for xh, well, I can see why he's an x. Idiot. I sincerely hope your dd isn't pregnant - why do teenagers want to ruin their lives like that? I mean I adore my dd desperately but I wouldn't swap the 10 years of FUN I had before having her! I would love it if you were pg this cycle and your dd isn't, then at least she can help you out with new baby and realise how sodding hard it is!

Due Monday 26th but going out on the lash on Saturday night - should I test to put my mind at rest?? Would I believe the result if it was bfn?! Tbh I'm just looking forward to getting the metformin and actually ovulating every month! I think of my 7 cycles I've ov'd 3 times now. Rubbish.

Oh sod it, test Friday??

sorry....ranting there. And also (I expect wrongly) assuming that your dd has got pg on purpose..

Hey Lia, sorry to hear you are having such a shit time. >

I'm due on Monday. Don't think I will be POAS early - don't think I can take another disappointment, I think I'd rather just wait for the red witch to arrive. Plus I'm running out of tests so I think I'd better save them. Its not that I'm feeling negative. I almost feel numb really - don't want to get my hopes up as they've been dashed too many times now.

Not really feeling any symptoms - got sore boobs but that usually happens a week before AF anyway (which prob means red witch is def on way ). Why is it that so many pg symptoms are the same as PMT ones?!

WWSW I know what you mean about testing early and not believing a bfn. I too have done that! Why don't you test Sat am and that way you've left it as long as you can before the night out? And if it neg, have a drink or three, let your hair down and have a good time You can always sneak a few soft drinks in, if you are worried about over doing it - just in case!

And of course WWSW if it is +ive, you can celebrate with a fruit cocktail!!

Hi polly yeah I was planning on waiting for doom this month, I did last month as I knew I hadn't ov'd and it's amazing how much calmer I was! I'm telling myself to hold out til Saturday but, well, y'know . I will have to test before going out or I won't be able to relax, obviously

It would be sensible to test Saturday, just in case. And who knows, I will probably end up rushing out to a chemist first thing saturday, completely unable to hold off any longer!

yay! lets have a whole batch of graduates in one go!

See now you are getting me excited... And I am too scared to be excited this month - we did EVERYTHING we could this month. Sex at the right times (always helps!), acupuncture, lots of supplements, no booze coffee diary sugar yeast etc etc ... in fact anything. Except food that tastes like cardboard.

So if it doesn't work this month I am obviously a barren old laydee with a cobwebbed womb and dessicated skeletal eggs... >

lol! I know! We completely relaxed about it this month, knowing I was having tests to determine pcos, but still managed to do it at the right time, I even got a positive opk so that's why I'm over excited this month!

New symptom this evening: loads of cm. This is terribly tmi but I can feel it running out of me, yuk! I don't think I had this last month. Still a bit crampy.

I'm going to drive myself mental this week, aren't I?

WWSW I seem to remember when up the duff with DD I also suffered excessive CM (from v early on), also excessive snot which made me snore horrendously and the giant had to wear earplugs for 9 months! Any snoring going on? Lol!

wwsw Test on Saturday !

< checks no one is looking > (((((lia)))))

for polly and everyone else on 2ww

WWSW yes it is Saturday and we are both at home Friday night so should be ok! We have alarm set for an hour early each morning too so we have two shots !

thanks WWSW, am feeling very over the hill this morning, but I know it's not impossible, just feels like it when I'm having more of a Eeyore day than a Tigger day.

It would have been my 21 week scan this week, so maybe that's why I'm feeling a bit pants. My MMC was at a scan at 13 weeks, and the baby had died the week before. Thought I'd got over things very quickly, perhaps I'd rushed through the sad bits too fast

lia you sound as though you have a lot on your plate - I empathise. Can see why you're so cross and upset .

Lia sorry to hear you're feeling down but with 5 DCs and a stressed out hubby who can blame you. Your x is clearly now with a lunatic (giving a 14yr old ciggies?!?!!? WTF). Make some time for Liahgen, I find a late night bubble bath with some candles after all has gone quiet soothes the soul Hope your daughter gets a BFN, I was a very sensible, very switched on teenager but had a pg scare at 15 with my long term boyfriend and we were TERRIFIED... didn't have a good enough relationship to be able to tell my Mum though.

Sounds like we're all in need of some TLC right now. I've had it with this TTC lark, after 6 months of disappointment we've gone for it this month doing it all the time, sticking my legs in the air... only to read last night that every other day is best to get good quality swimmers and putting your legs in the air isn't necessary as they naturally swim up...just hope they haven't swum up and out IYSWIM Anyway, had loads of EWCM this morning and i'm NOT doing it again so prob won't get pg this month anyway

polly oh don't say things like that! I've got such a runny nose! Now you're making me get my hopes up again - naughty! Cramping has stopped today but still lots of cm. I'm going to be on knicker watch now for the rest of the week I think...

yay nymph get going! Just don't wear yourself out before the big day

jollster uh oh, here comes another very un-mn ((hug)) . I can't imagine how you are feeling, but it sounds like you could do with an eeyore day to catch up a bit.

I feel absolutely over the hill this morning. dd has taken to either waking twice in the night or coming in to our bed at about 4am and wanting the tv on argh. I look about 90 this morning!

what do you mean, tea, no legs in air! Crikey, we've been looking like right wallys for months for NO REASON!! Don't worry about giving yourself a night off, sounds like you've got plenty of swimmers in there anyway

Sorry WWSW! The trouble with these 'pregnancy' signs is that they can often be signs of something else - it is sooo frustrating!

I'm still feeling pretty calm, and despite having sore boobs I'm not looking for signs. Yet. (The mania will probably set it on sunday, when no chemist will be open for me to run out and buy an early test.)

I don't know what has happened to me this month - I almost feel resigned that it just is not going to happen again for us. I had just really hoped DD would not be an only child as I've loved having 2 little sisters.

Maybe its just that after 16 months it is too painful to keep going through that rollercoaster every month. Or hey, here's an idea - maybe I've just got to the point where I have relaxed about it all! (Therefore its bound to happen - 'they' always say you have to stop stressing and just relax and it will happen.... shortly before I poke 'them' in the eyes with a sharp stick!) {grin}

wwsw a couple of months ago (warning tmi alert) I felt really wet down there and still wasn't preggers. All this was in 2ww and I got so excited but then disappointed again.

Am feeling a bit snotty today but think it might be getting a cold. I hate the 2nd week of the 2ww its so rubbish. Can't think of a better word.

oh lou it's so annoying....second week is crap isn't it? Every symptom I have I can attribute to other things. I wasn't expecting to be pg this month but I'm going to have to test Saturday which is annoying!

Right that is it am going to start temping now. Have even bought a basal thermometer on e-bay. I think at least I will know if I have ovulated or not. Got my fertility friend account sorted.

To all those who do temp do you need to start on day 1 or is it ok to start mid cycle?
