Lucy got extended cover but it's about seven years old so my dh said I can 'treat myself' to a new bigger one !

My dd has been having medised since she was a baby(before they changed guidelines) and I have only ever give it at night ,it has been very much my saviour!

As for swi giving it another go tommorow night as dh has to work away all next week! Really don't care if he's i just need pre seed and five minutes of his time.

Lucy maybe we should set up an ebay account selling OPKs and HPTs. We could make a fortune and that would just be from Lia let alone the rest of them! Hey there.

hi hi

Too tired of swi to even write about it. Day 29 and had ov type pains this morning. Does that mean we have to swi some more??? Groan winge moan complain.

Hope your dcs get betterer soonest Lucy

Congrats on the new machine Iced, wish I could have one. Have currently got a washer/dryer that sorta washes but won't dry. Still, it fits with my half-a-kitchen i spose!

digitalgirl · 15/03/2010 15:35

Illness has taken hold of the DG household too. Ds ill and not sleeping well, which impacts on swi as well as our window of opportunity (after ds bedtime and before our bedtime) is taken up with resettling a wailing ds. And I've been ill since Friday anyway so definitely no action here not even for fun. However I am utterly convinced I am now 6dpo as cervix has reliably stayed shut.

Shouldn't really test till the 27th, but have a dinner party this Sat and want to drink if not pg otherwise everyone will think I am pg as they all know we're ttc. Is there a way I can convince myself not to test this Sat as I really don't want to...

Fairygodmother1 · 15/03/2010 18:59

Hi girlies,

I think I'm ovulating on my own (without clomid) so def SWI tonight! Cheers to the sore bits!

Digi I don't know how true this is but apparently the baby doesn't share your blood etc for 6 weeks. So could be ok. I think that Sat is prob too early to test if 27th is your calculated day!.

How's everyone?

Congratulations on the ovulation FairyG! Enjoy the swi this evening!

Thank you Umbungo & Lucy, Lucy, like I said on the clomid thread no monitoring, on it for 6 months, had lots of side effects, have PCOs so I don't know if I have every ovulated since coming off the the pill 6 years ago as this was when the PCOS symptoms arrived, before clomid I had random cycles, on cloid it averaged 29 days, I don't have any children either but 6 godchildren, the Cons has put me forward for IVF so taken me off clomid, although it made me ovulate nothing stuck!

Morning all,

How is life in the world of ttfc? Last 'go' yesterday for a bit - time to give dh a break for a few days, time to charge up a bit. Not to mention my poor ladybits.

ah well.

Clomid sounds scary, fairy (hey, I rhyme!). Good luck either way - hope none of us have to stay here for too long (nice as it is, especially with all the cake)!

Loujalou · 16/03/2010 17:18

Think I need to get in some SWI soon. Am only on day 7 though.

I am in a mood today. Convinced I'll never bloody conceive. Lucky I have got hypno today. Not sure even that can make me more positive. Have hit a new low.

Loujalou · 16/03/2010 18:02

Polly is it just me or did you feel lots of poking sensations in the tummy region after the acupuncture?

Icedlemonmuffin · 16/03/2010 18:04

I feel the same Lou I'm always saying 'if I ever get pregnant' dh says when you get pregnant! I really try and stay positive but sometimes it's impossible.

I'm trying something new this month, I'm in the ttw but I'm trying to fool myself that I'm waiting for rtd not for pregnancy symptoms! I'm hoping this new strategy saves my sanity this month.

Unbuffy · 16/03/2010 18:59

Lemon - what is ttw? Is it something to do with firemen again? Or too tighty whiteys? (sorry, cross threads I think!)

Dark and hollow laughter - ho ho ho - about fooling yourself. I keep trying to convice myself that the indigestion and sore boobs and tireness I feel are all to do with the bad cold I'm just coming out of, but it's not working. Let us know if it works, we could all give it a go! We could pretend we're not ttc either. (ttc: too tighty cervix?). More dark and hollow laughter (but with fingers crossed that it works)

Icedlemonmuffin · 16/03/2010 19:06

Lol Unbuffy too tired to even type properly!

I was thinking of hypnotising myself so that I truely believe I'm not ttc but that I'm a sex maniac!!!

New washing machine arrived this afternoon so it might be the excitement that's impaired my typing!

Going to torture myself and watch one born every minute later!!!!

Unbuffy · 16/03/2010 19:20

I have an oven arriving tomorrow - we can be new appliance buddies! It did come 2 weeks ago but had a bloody great DENT in and had to be sent straight back. I never even got to play (sigh). Excitement tonight will probably keep me awake...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Icedlemonmuffin · 16/03/2010 19:33

I never thought I would get so excited by white goods!
A new oven is next on my list (when funds become available)

Hope your oven has a safe arrival tommorow!

Fairygodmother1 · 16/03/2010 20:26

Lucy it's ok. Just wanted to reply so you didn't think I was rude (brunette by the way)!

lou I'm with ya sister! I'm convinced too now! Especially as EWCM lasted a day & I hope SWI last night was the right time.

Unbuffy Yes it was scary at times but you know how it is - try anything for what you want!

Iced DH (my one lol) says the same to me! Gotta giggle at your excited at white goods. I do too! lol

Icedlemonmuffin · 16/03/2010 20:34

Just realised that the term 'white goods' could mean many different things on conception threads !

Example- Dh just delivered the 'white goods' (lol and yuck at the same time)
