Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Don't worry Diddle - the NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence Guidelines) re lifestyle things which might affect fertility say that there's not enough evidence re caffeine - so they don't actually recommend that you need to give it up!

Diddle · 02/08/2005 16:53

thats great, thanks lunarsea, very good to know, i love my coffee

Hiya Everyone. Shelly do you ahve any newsd eyt, have you tested agin. Fingers crossed for you honey xxxxxxxxxxxx

No i havnt tested again. I did take it out of the pack as bleeding lighter now but the pain is still very bad, am on nurofen and codiene and its not helping. So i thought not much point really.

Am in mood from hell today but good news is we are booking the Manderin Hotel later thanks to Shellys recommemdation. Just trying to get some discount through the spa federation as we work for a well known Spa too. Anyway we are going for some quality time together and will prob not leave the bed unless there is a fire

How is everyone else????? Chher me up with happy newws and thoughts pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Diddle where are you in your cycle, you must be around ovulation time yes?

Diddle · 02/08/2005 17:12

hi maddyd - sorry you're not feeling good, hate stomach cramps, make you feel so rough. Very jealous of your weekend away. we're looking into booking one now, might go to Disneyland Paris in Sept.
I'm on cd12, ov this weekend coming, so plenty of bd for us this week, might not ov test and just get on with it, think it might just put more pressure on us if we know a certain date. lets see what hand fate deals us this month.

Does anyone know the effects stress can have on fertility etc, feeling veyr stressed at the moment, and DH keeps winding me up which i'm sure won't help me either. any ideas?

OP posts:
maddyd · 02/08/2005 17:29

Ive heard stress and worrying about it do not help at all. But its easier said than done to be laid back about it isnt it?
Your sensible about the ov tests. My friend used them and bd'd all through ov time everynight and still didnt catch. Her dissapointment was immense. I felt so sorry for her, bless

petunia · 02/08/2005 17:37

Afternoon all,
Oh maddyd, are you OK? You sound as if you're in an awful lot of pain having to take 2 lots of painkillers. Sounds like you need a break away, and it would be something to look forward to.
Interesting what you're all saying about caffeine. When I had my first scan appointment through, the hospital sent me a letter asking if I would take part in a study on the effects of caffeine on the developing baby. It involved keeping a diary but one reason I really wanted to do it was because you got 2 extra scans (I think they were at 24 and 36 weeks) which I thought would be nice to have. But then I had the mc
Good luck to Shelly and CP. Hope you last out til Friday.
As for me, I think I might have ov. Felt awful yesterday with all sorts of aches and pains. Feel a lot better today though. So 'ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go (or whatever it is they sing in the football stands these days!)
Off to the hairdressers now. (Mobile hairdresser- we're mobile, she's the hairdresser!) Catch you all later.

Good Day Girls

Hope you are all as well as can be.

shelly24 and CHOCOLATEPEANUT-I am really hoping for some good news from you both. ((xx))

HellKat-have you got rid of the evil one yet? ((xx))

nicmum2boys-wey hey to you-now you can get on with your life. ((xx))

Girls-I can't believe that I have started weeing on sticks already!!! Did it last night-WHY?????????????????? I'm not even fertile until Thursday but of course I have a metallic taste in my mouth, gums are bleeding and boobs hurt. What am I like? Told DH we have to send some more in tonight (we are on an every other night arrangement which ties in very nicely with the fact that we are away on Saturday night alone at Brands Hatch for the bike racing) Hip hip hooray!

Enough of me gabbling on-I try and make out I am finding it fun TTC but as soon as AF shows I will be straight on here for support.

Until tomorrow girls. Ooh, still enjoying Big Bro-shame they didn't bring in a stunner as Craig would have spat his dummy out if Anthony chatted her up!

Byee and lots of love to everyone.

Xena · 02/08/2005 18:46

Evening girls.
Sorry MaddyD xxxxx Hoping you have a nice break.
We have bought a folding camper, with the intention of going away every weekend that the weather is fine, have booked a place in Horsham for the weekend £40 all in. IT will be the first time in 18mths we've been away!!

maddyd · 02/08/2005 18:47

Not going till the 13th od August so i have plenty of time to get excited. My first ever weekend away without kids.

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 02/08/2005 19:14

ok so its here but expected it after 1,000,000,000 bfns

already marked up calender and told husband NO ALCOHOL during this time as he does have a few cans every night (this is since we lost philippa) and he used to have a few nights off before.

So experts am i on right track here ? -

hoping to stay away from ov kits but cant promise.......

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 19:32

Am really scared girls! Am worried that something is wrong with me if AF doesn't arrive!....have panic attacks that i can't have anymore babies(really MUST chill out abit!)
Maybe AF will turn up tomorrow?
I'm SOOO pleased you chose the manderin mads,its a fantastic hotel...you won't regret it .x.x.

Diddle · 02/08/2005 20:11

shelly24 - calm down honey, there are plenty of us left on here. you'll be fine

Just booked 4 days at Disneyland paris for 5 wks time, can't wait. I bet knowing our bloody luck, i'll be pg by then and not be able to go on the rides. Can't believe i'm wishing pg away now.
We had a holiday there booked when i was pg first and had to cancel it, then had a m/c, wish we'd kept the first booking now, would have saved us some pennies.

Nice to have something to look forward to.

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 02/08/2005 20:18

Disneyland paris is great

Went last year,fab rides!

signing off now ordered blade 3 on sky - luv it

chill shellybabe.if its not this month it will be soon

Tabs · 02/08/2005 20:53

I've stayed at the Mandarin - pretty nice.

Diddle - effect of stress is that ov can be delayed, so if you are stressed then I'd suggest that you carry on BDing every 2 or 3 days until AF arrives, as if ov is delayed and you're not testing then you won't know for sure that you have ov'ed. Quite possibly why AF was late for you this last month too.

Sorry about AFs arriving ladies, and good luck Shelly for Friday (if you manage to wait that long!)

petunia · 02/08/2005 20:57

CP- thought this was really going to be your month.
Maddyd- hair is good! Even better is the curry we pick up on the way home! But so full now I could burst!
Night everyone.

Diddle · 03/08/2005 08:07

morning everyone!!!

tabs - thank you, i was wondering if stress had delayed AF, will try extra hard this month to stay calm and relaxed. got a massage booked for Thursday night, so that will help a lot towards it. Plus i shold be OV in the next few days after, so i have just realised what great timing that is. Right no more wine this month. I'm on a mission.

OP posts:
maddyd · 03/08/2005 08:31

Morning Diddle, hope you enjoy your massage. I really got my hopes after my hot stone massage, thought it may have rebalanced my insides but i think it made it worse . Have fun at Disney land Paris, i would love to got to Paris but Dp's needs a new passpoet as just ran out or we would have had a weekend there. We went to Florida when i was Pg with Toby and it was so restricting as i couldnt go on anything and the heat and the amount of walking we did really shattererd me.

Shelly have you used that last tests yet?

Am off to Docs today as this pain is really bad front and back but has moved higher up now. Its a really tight pain now not cramping. I wouldnt normally go but ive had it over a week now so dp is pushing me to go. Think he will say its a kidney infection as that effects you back doesnt it?

Diddle · 03/08/2005 08:57

maddyd - hope all is well at the doctors, sorry you're feeling so rough.
We were thinking of going to Florida next year, we went last year for our honeymoon and DH loved it. i've been loads when i was younger with my parents, but it was his first time. We have discussed the possibilty of being pregnant, or hopefully having a baby by then, and we're pretty certain that we wouldn't mind not going on the rides, we love the shows, and it would be nice to do the parks at a slower rate.
Let us kow how you get on Maddyd - hope all is ok and they sort you out.

HumphreysCorner · 03/08/2005 09:06

Morning Ladies

maddyd-hope you get to see the Doctor today.

I rang my Drs at 8-15am this morning and there were no morning appointments left All they could offer was an 11-50am at another surgery with the Dr I hate so will have to try tomorrow.

Having a trim and edge (hair cut) later this morning and off shopping and lunch out with mum (usual Wednesday routine-ablsolutely love it).

Big Bro-Craig jealous of Eugene-what a laugh!

Hugs to all

Catch yas later
