Hello!!

Can you please put me down the 18th of Jan :smiliedance:. I am soooo Excited! I cant wait to start trying for #2:cloud9:!

Look forward to chatting to you all! :babydust2:

Done!

Hey Noms! Can you please sign me up as a date unknown, pretty please :biggrin:

Easy!

If I sign up before AF arrives is that like reverse psychology?
Like buying a million HPT's and not needing them.

If it increases my odds you can sign me up.

I'll calculate a test date...... 18/01/08

I'm not quite sure if that how it works, but let's try it anyway...

I'm with her, sign me up..same date cause she stole mine from this month

Now, now, no-one likes a sourpuss!

I'd like to test on the 6th please :thumbsup:

How can I resist the happy little chap!

Hey ladies. I have not been on a due date list for awhile, simply because it has been too painfull.

But here is goes. My AF is due 30/12 (day before my b'day!). I usually (well 3 times now since July) get a BFP follwed by AF 2-3 days late.

Please put me down for 6th Jan. That will give me one week after AF is due.

Thanks

Sorry, I have had the MIL up for a few days and have not been on BH... Absolutely correct on the response... apparently people are less stress at this time of year and the percentage of conception goes up...

MIL has gone home so bding has started :laughing:

mixy

12-12-2007, 18:46

well i think that this is a better mth any way:) my sister in-law and i have either been preg or breast feeding since we started hanging out, not at the same time but one of us is always doing something and she has just stopped BF her bubba, and this weekend is her birthday, so i can go and have lots and lots of drinks with her!!!!!!!!!!!! im so excited, and this month the week before i o is the week between chrissy and new years!!! lots and lots of time to bd!!!!!!!!!!! then hubby is on holidays till the day after i test so we will be able to keep each other busy, sounds like a plan hey!

here is some :babydust2::babydust2::babydust2::babydust2:baby dust for everyone!

Hi everyone - I am new to the TTC thread (but not new to TTC). I am CD12 today and AF due Jan 1st at this stage (Happy new year to me!! :doh:)

So am I able to join you on your calender? If so please add me on Jan 8th. My cycles are 28-34 days and Jan 1st is CD31 so I always wait an extra week to test just to avoid unnessasary disappointment :D

Welcome new members!

Not much to report here, I think i'm about CD7 but not actively TTC at the moment. I have very sore breasts which i can't explain, except maybe a hormonal problem?

Last cycle i had a second patch of EWCM which i've never had before, as well as ovulation pains. I'd already O'd on CD15, and this was CD26. Then i got AF on CD29. My gyno thought maybe the EWCM was from a pregnancy and then i got AF. I am secretly hoping my very sore breasts are from a miraculous conception from a freakish second ovulation in the same cycle, and it has also been known to concieve twins, but one fail to implant, so you still have AF, but carry on with a pregnancy.

The chances are so remote though!! I think i'll get a blood test next week to check my hormones if my breast haven't stopped aching/burning because aside from pregnancy or menstruation, i have no answers!.

Good luck everyone :goodvibes::flowerz:

mixy

13-12-2007, 19:01

Mischief we are testing on the same day, what cycle day are you up to, i am on CD3 gggrrrrr this AF takes so long, i wish she would pack up and leave, i dont even really know how long she will be staying for!! ah well thats my winge for the day!

Hi everyone else, i hope everyone is doing well:)

singa06

13-12-2007, 19:13

Hey ladies, I have my US tomorrow morning. I am nervous/excited. I will be cd 15 and the gyno is checking my follies to make sure a nice big mature egg is about to pop out!
Two days ago I still had 4 HCG in my blood from last month (levels went to 8, but too low to confirm pregnany!)

kittykatz

13-12-2007, 19:31

Hey Ladies

Well af arrived around 9:30 last night so I guess I'm here with you beautiful girls!!!! I hope we all get our bfps this month!!!

First time I've had a 28/29 day cycle in a long time wonder if it'll stay short (unless I get a bfp of course).

Don't know a test date yet.

hi mellymumma, sorry AF showed up, she is so rude!

mixy

13-12-2007, 20:47

OK ladies i have a question, just before AF arrived my boobs got bigger, and they are still really big!!! (well filling a 'b' cup is big for me) so do you think it is from stopping the pill? that was the end of my first cycle off the pill, it was weird.

MellyMumma

13-12-2007, 21:12

hi mellymumma, sorry AF showed up, she is so rude!

So true, thanks.

Good luck to you all :babydust2::babydust2:

They are great. Been taking them for bout week now and I tell you my boobs have been singing for the last few days so they must be doing something right.

Anyway hope everyone is well.

15-12-2007, 09:52

Well, up your bum to everyone then! :thumbsup: :laughing:

Kris, do you mean your breasts have been singing or stinging?! And if you meant singing, what does that feel like?! :detective: :laughing:

I don't have much to report.... waiting to O. haven't BD'd because I am mad at DP (not at this time of the month! Silly boy!)
We went round to a friends place thursday night and I played with their 6 month old baby all night. Not fair. It was fun and depressing at the same time. Oh and we book tickets for Cairns yesterday, and the lady at the shop opened her drawer and I saw a box of elevit in there, and my mind immediately went "baby" and yep, sure enough when she stood up she had the cutest bump. Oh how depressing! :thumbsdown:

Oh well, more :babydust2: then!

Morning Noms :wave:

I've been scratching my head over a calendar lately, and think I might have made sense of it all. Can you please put me down for testing on the 12th of January?

Yep, so that means that if I get pregnant this cycle my bubbas could well be conceived on Christmas :eek: Oh I feel sorry for them if/when my potential kid ever figures that one out :laughing:

It also means they would be due around our wedding anniversary! But I'm getting ahead of myself :laughing:

Morning Girls

How are you all? Only 10 days till Christmas!!! :tree: Woohoo!!!! I want presents, gimme, gimme, gimme!!! Well I don't actually think I'll be getting anything but still good to dream. I got a new vacuum cleaner a few weeks (the old one sh!t itself). Also got a new diary the other day. I love xmas!!! The kids are going to have so much fun, we're going down to my Nana and Pops house in NSW, we always went there for xmas lunch when I was a kid. So much yummy food!!!

I'm due to o around boxing day or the day after so I'm going to have shag like bunny at my Nans house - hmmm. Last time I got preg (the mc) was the last time I was down there so I'm trying to look at it as a good omen.

Hmm this post is shaping up to be all about me. :doh:

Hey Kris :thumbsup: (hahaha). How's things? I remember you from waaaayyyyyyy back. I'm still here - never left. You've had a break? Goodluck for a new year BFP!!!

Howdy to everyone else :wave: and :thumbsup:.

hey girls!
looks like ill most likely be crashing your thread now! :laughing: i just got spotting, but pretty sure its my af, im 16dpo today. Not really disapointed, im actually quite happy about it! Now at least i can move forward and plan my chrissy drinks and baileys balls (erm, rum balls, made w/ baileys!)

So how are we all anyways?

I just got a new dog! her name is blaze, and she is turning 1 on the 19th december! She is a kelpie cross staffy, a tan colour, looks more like a staffy (build and face) but has kelpie ears! shes so cute and was brought up with kids, but her owners had to move to a small yard and couldnt keep her, so took her to the pound..she was on death row! :no: anyways, turns out her owners are a customer of ours and told us about her! so we saved her! :yelclap: and we have a big fenced block, so she can run and chase birds etc! im so excited, she is really bayli's dog, and they already are cuddling and playing fetch together! so cute! cats dont really like her tho, lol..oh well theyre indoors anyways.

oh! sorry-so babbling :ecomcity: im a tad bored!

15-12-2007, 21:19

Goodluck girls.

Hi to everyone on this thread! I think I have already been added to your calendar on the 8th. I am on CD16 today and although I am new to BBT charting and OPK's, by all accounts I am o'ing today/tomorrow. That's fairly normal for me as I am well aware from countless ultrasounds in the past that I O late. Infact CD16-18 is quite early for me.

Anyway poor DH. This is my first month of taking BBT and doing OPK's and when I got all the signs this morning I :ecomcity: at him the second he walked in the door earlier today. Today is an unusual day for him at work and as a one off he had to do a split shift so he came home for 4 hours in the middle. Anyway, lucky for me he was understanding of where I was coming from when I told him we have to BD and he said that if this was what 'broken shifts' were like he'd be happy to do more of them!!

AF is due Jan 1st so it looks like I'll be having a sober Christmas and New Year with :fingerscrossed:

MellyMumma

17-12-2007, 16:28

Well we just had a flyspit of rain!!! Still cloudy out there and still hot in here (altho had cooled a smidgeon) so I'm hoping we get a heap more. Tanks are down...............need water!!! All you girls should get your gear off and go outside and do a rain dance for me!!! hahahaha. Had a couple of rumbles of thunder too but I see the sun poking through so maybe its gone already. ***Sigh***

17-12-2007, 18:47

it has stormed here, i had to take the kids to get stamps and it rained the intire time!! they thought it was great DD (5yrs) got to use the umbrella, you would have thought it was christmas day the way she carried on (so cute:)).

Wow - i never realised that so many of us are in Qld. You are all talking about it being hot .....I am in WA and it was 25 and rained a bit today....(just rubbing it in as usually it is just damn hot here for Christmas...)

Anyway - today I am cd11. Nothing happening really....due to o on cd17 so will wait another few days before starting bd'ing every day and doing the legs in air thing....

In fact we may not do that at all as we may just take this month off altogether and start fresh with IVF.....

How is everyone feeling ?

Hi girls,

Can you put me down to test on the 1st January?

Ive been getting pain/stretchy feeling in my stomach so don't know if im getting af or not but ive had it for about 1 week now.

I done a test today but was bfn,im still thinking i may be pregnant though as tests don't show early for me im usually 2 weeks late for af when i get a positive so thats why im leaving it until the 1st jan.

If i get af in the meantime then i'll just have to change my testing day.

Hi Ladies, how are we all??? It's been a long time since ive been on here, had so many things on... I am CD6 but am completely confused as my cycle was longer than the last 3... this month was about 38 days when the last three were 30 32 and 30.. what should i do ladies?? HELP.. i was really excited about TTC but now i am just confused... i started temping then forgot so ahhhh... i talked to DH about it and said i don't know what we are meant to do now and he just said we should start doing it everyone second night and we should be alright... NO LUBE of course! haha glad i learnt that early!

Sorry about my ranting ladies... i just have no idea..

mixy

17-12-2007, 21:42

ladies i need your wisdem.
as far as i was aware temps should drop right down when AF comes and stay down till 'o' but my temps have hovered in between since i got AF, you can have a look if you like (in my signiture). last mth when they were low they were under 36.2 and over was above that, but this mth it has been all over the place, please let me know what you think.

HELP.. i was really excited about TTC but now i am just confused... ..

My cycles were 32-36 then 38 and 45. I saw my gyno and he did some BT to check my hormones (lucky they were ok), then he put me on Clomid to help regulate my cycles. My cycles are now 31-33, not UTD yet, but its helping to detect O a lot easier...

kittykatz

18-12-2007, 08:47

Hi Amylou, i've missed you.

Mixy, mine have been a bit strange too, but my gyno said not to worry too much, they can be a bit up and down from AF to O, its more the TWW pattern that is important, should be like the top of the letter o in general. You can have a look at my past charts if you like.

baylismum, you are so smart!!! lol im a alittle stupid you are right it did happen ever so quickly because i am no '7dpo' but on CD 7 so sorry for confusing the both of us! :)

it has stormed here, i had to take the kids to get stamps and it rained the intire time!! they thought it was great DD (5yrs) got to use the umbrella, you would have thought it was christmas day the way she carried on (so cute:)).

And BTW hubby has agreed to have the home birht i have ALWAYS wanted, we will pay for it with the baby bonus!!!!!! im so excited about it!

Well i will be back later, so keep smiling and remember start BDing

Mixy! im so jealous of your home birth plans!!! id love to have a home water birth for number 2!!! i wanted a waterbirth for bayli, but royal womens had spas but we couldnt use them (:confused:)

Im glad that i worked out your 'cycleday issue' lol...i was thinking that you had a reallllly short cycle! lol have pm'd you btw!

Well just as I suspected no more rain :no:. We live 10klms out of town and got just a couple of spits but in town it p!ssed down for about half an hour.

Hope everyone is well!!!

Love hugs and kisses
Mel

melly- sorry to tell you this hun, we got 3 hours of downpour and lightning and thunder!! :smiliedance: our driveways fillup so all the kids were out running around in their togs and gumboots lol very funny to watch!

how is everyone today? im thinking its 9:30, should probably stop being lazy and get showered and dressed! dont have anything to do today!
:yelclap:

18-12-2007, 10:38

Hi girls!

Amylou- it's so good to 'see' you again! BD'ing every 2nd day is a great idea, that way you are covered! If you start to notice lots of cm then start doing it every day ;)

Mixy- it is normal to have erratic temperatures during AF, something to do with your hormones.

AF is getting heavier & had some cramps today but overall it's been pretty good. We leave for our camping trip tomorrow, it's not going to be much fun camping with AF :no: I have soo much to do to get ready to go- I ask myself why am I sitting on the computer instead :confused::laughing:

I heard they dont do them because the sides of the bath are not all open?!?! any way we were booked into the birhtcentre, with DS but at 31 wks was told 'couldnt go' (dumb ppl) so missed out, so this this it home birth all the way, midwife wont move to NZ that way...lol!

And Thanks to every one for helping me with my temps, once i put in todays it looks heeps better:smiliedance:

Hi girlz,

Not much happening here,just done a bit of shopping got the kidz new shoes cause ds's were getting to small and dd lost one of hers yesterday.

Still getting cramps today although not as bad,my milk supply has dropped dramatically and ds is feeding quite often so am wondering why that is :confused:

M2M have fun at your camping holiday (lucky duck :p)

BoyCrazy

18-12-2007, 21:55

hi girls!
heavensent- i dunno about the breastfeeding thing, but i do know that throughout my cycle as it changes etc, my breastmilk supply goes up and down, plus i also get unexplained let down reflexes like just the tingle part, throughout the day -when ds isnt even feeding in the day. Did that make sense, lol im pretty tired, but i hope ive kinda helped in some weird way! I really hope you are utd! the twinges and cramps sound great! well good signs anyways, dont know about the actual pain :laughing:
:fingerscrossed: for a :baby: for you!!!

mixy- i dont get the waterbirth thing either..just odd..but there'd prolly be some bizarre explanation lol. Have pm'd you!

Haylie- have fun on your camping trip!! Where are you heading to? Hope u have a great time!!

As for me still nothing exciting going on, been looking at videos of bayli from when he was a few minutes old and so tiny!! Then watched one from about 2 weeks ago! lol the difference is amazing! in size i mean haha, but his face has not changed! time sure does go by fast, i got a little bit sad :( and even more clucky for number 2!!!

hope everyone has a good night xo

18-12-2007, 22:15

Well AF arrived today so next testing time will be about 20th Jan

18-12-2007, 23:17

Baylismum- i get what you mean mine changes too when im getting close to af my supply drops but not to the point where i have nothing left,other than that there is usually a let down when he has a feed.Ds has done nothing but feed today he has gone mad/obsessed with it and wont stop hanging off me its driving me nuts.He wont take milk from a cup either just wants boob :hair:

♥Heaven Sent♥

18-12-2007, 23:22

Well according to the calculator the first accurate test should be the 25th of dec but im still gonna wait till the 1st just to be sure.

Have been peeing heaps today and have been driven mad by ds,argh.Pains not too bad today but tiredness blergh im so tired during the day and then when i try to sleep at night i can't get to sleep.I have been a bit crabby today maybe af is coming?

AmyLou

19-12-2007, 09:23

Goodmorning ladies, thanks for all the advice yesterday.. i have started charting on FF so will see how that goes... i know it's a bit late for a temps but hey... as i have only just finished AF im guessing it will still be able to pick up the rise in temp.. Shall see anyway..

Well off to work, Christmas Crafts today, nice easy day inside..

Talk later, have a good day, hope all is well!

aphrodeity

19-12-2007, 09:28

Good morning girls :wave:

Well I've been out of the race for a while now, but AF has just finished so I guess it's time for Round Two of TTC!

Amylou I think taking the temps would still be worthwhile even if you missed the start of the cycle, I'm sure you would still be able to see something!

kittykatz

19-12-2007, 09:50

Hi Aphrodeity

I've missed you! Good luck with round 2.

Amylou, have fun charting. I found it really interesting, although i'm going a bit nuts this month because although i've decided not to "actively" TTC this cycle, i still need to chart to see how the acupuncture is going, and this cycle is off to a whacky start! It seems every second cycle of mine is strange, but hopefully that will straighten out soon.

Heaven Sent - sounding good for you

Sharai - sorry about AF :hugs:

Hi Baylismum :wave:

Nomsie

19-12-2007, 10:43

Hi girls!
Well I think I O'd yesterday, so I must be 1DPO at cd13... hmmm.. myabe I haven't peaked yet! Time will tell! I can't believe last month took so long, but now it's the 19th already! I don't want to be in the TWW so soon! It's a killer!

Not much has been going on, just the build up to christmas, and I am as broke as ever! I feel so bad because I haven't got anyone their pressies yet, and I had $10 currently residing in my bank account, due to having to buy tickets to Carins last friday! It is so stressful, knowing I only have saturday to get all my shopping done! What if I can't find what I am looking for? It has left no room for error! I have already told DP I am so sorry, but he will have to pay for his own pressie and I will pay him back (his own fault really, since he bought what he wanted for himself off ebay!). My mortgage is due to go out christmas day, and my car payment 3 days after. It looks at this stage as though I will have to call my car financers and ask them to wait a fortnight before taking that pay- the first time I have ever had to do such a thing!
So needless to say, babymaking has been put on the backburner, and I am worried I might have missed my fertile window for another month:(! Oh well! :rolleyes: Not much I can do about it now, and I refuse to stress about that too!

By the way, Heavensent, I have finally added you to the calendar! Yay! You are my testing buddy. :shakehands: Good luck, and game on!

♥Heaven Sent♥

19-12-2007, 11:26

19-12-2007, 14:07

Can you put me down for 10th January. After a brief visit in the 'Due in August 08' thread I'm back in the TTC section. :gloomy:

My M/C happened at five and a half weeks so I'm hoping it won't have messed with my cycles too much.

Here's hoping we've all been good girls and Santa gives us all a special gift this Christmas!

I'm so very sorry, kerrin. :hugs: The good news is that a lot of women fall very quickly again after MC, so fingers crossed it's sticky. :flowerz:

Welcome to the Jan thread! Hopefully we can find you a testing buddy soon!

KK, I don't think I have had a lot of EWCM, but I certainly have had a lot of creamy! :detective:

kittykatz

19-12-2007, 14:34

Nomsie, my body might have tricked me. I thought my cycles were balanced at 30 days with O at 15, but this cycle is like the one 2 ago where it looked like i o'd at CD10, then again at 14. I had lots of creamy CM around day 10, but was expecting O at day 15, so i hadn't done any BDing!! I spotted the tiniest amount of EWCM yesterday, so jumped DH, but i have a feeling this is a wasted cycle. Lucky i'm not "trying" this cycle.

KatiesMum

19-12-2007, 14:36

lucky you arent temping or checking cm either KK !!!!!! :laughing:

Seriously though .... this cycle is supposed to be about you relaxing and just bd'ing when you feel like it......(easier said than done I know)

Good luck to everyone still testing :babydust2: :babydust2: :babydust2: :babydust2: :babydust2:

kittykatz

19-12-2007, 15:12

I know!! :shame:

Acupuncturist wanted me to temp this month to check if cycles are balancing!! I promise!! But as for checking CM, well :o. I promise its only because i'm trying to work out these odd cycles every second month!! DH didn't know i was "fertile" and thats why i jumped him :laughing:

Besides, DH NEVER feels like it, he works too hard and is always tired. Seriously, BDing whenever we "felt like it" for over 12 months meant once a week if I was lucky! So I do have a need to be strategic about "jumping" DH. I'm relaxed, really!!

EXCEPT - my chrisco never turned up and will be refunded, so dreams of a hamper of alcohol lying in a spa were crushed!! However i did spot some Malibu pina colada mix at Target where you just add malibu. Surely a couple of drinks won't hurt! I'll only be like 1 or 2DPO if that.

aphrodeity

19-12-2007, 17:13

I'm sorry for your loss, Kerrin :hugs: Like Nomsie, I've heard that some women can fall quickly after a m/c, I hope this is the case for you.

KK I think there is nothing wrong with relaxing a bit, after all you have been through a lot and it's Christmas time. Just, you know, all good things in moderation ;)

I am very new to ttc as this is my first cycle ever!

DP had a vas reversal a little while back so we are on the path to see if it has worked :fingerscrossed:

I am at cd14 and due to O in the next couple of days I think.

Nomsie - can you pls add me to test on 3 Jan?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I think I will test on the 14th of January, if I can hold out for that long :laughing: Although I am not going to get my hopes up because we will be at the in laws house during ovulation time and I still feel a bit icky about doing the deed at their house :confused:

AmyLou

19-12-2007, 18:56

Hi everyone, how was everyone's day???

I'm just going to calculate a testing date... hmm do you think i should base it on my 38 day cycle which was last month or a 30 or 32 day cycle.. ahhh let's go for 38 days! So that would make it the 19th Jan! ahhh hat's way too long away!

Katcha

19-12-2007, 22:58

Hey there, come to join you all since AF arrived today. Can I please be put down for the 17th? Hopefully there's be a lot of :bfp:s in January. :babydust2:

Sharai

20-12-2007, 09:29

I'll be down for the 20th Jan as AF arrive the other day.

kittykatz

20-12-2007, 09:38

Lets hope the "silly season" results in heaps of :bfp:'s !!!

I have nothing to report. Hoping to O today or tomorrow, and have only BD'd ONCE!!

I'd love for O to hold out till the weekend when a non-planned "just for the fun of it" BD is more likely to occur!! I don't like my chances tonight after battling shopping centre crowds for the last of the chrissy presents!

I'm thinking once I only need to get acupuncture fortnightly, DH might start getting some sessions too. I think it will help him heaps. Too expensive for both of us at the moment.

aphrodeity

20-12-2007, 10:04

Morning all :wave:

Amylou tricky question, I'd be inclined to go by the length of cycle you've had more frequently, ie. around the 30/32 mark. But then again if you use a 38 day cycle to figure out when to test, at least you know you will definitely cover your bases and your test will be more reliable because its later :)

Good luck pinning down the boy KK :p

Hope everyone here is going well and are well on their way to a BFP!

I'm on CD8 at the moment. Because last month was a 45 day cycle... that means there is nothing exciting happening with me for quite a while!

Seems like everyone is waiting around for o :fingerscrossed: she comes pretty soon for you all.

Nothing else exciting here.

Can you please add me to Jan 15th please. Af will be due the day before and I have promised myself I won't test before af ever again.

Still haven't decided fully if we will be TTC but rather not preventing but not trying.

All the best for you all ttc:hugs:

21-12-2007, 06:27

MammaDJ and Preciousbabyboy I have added you both. Never fear, we have a BFP or cervix back guarantee in the Jan thread. So what a bonus for you both!

As for me, I think I am going to bum out this month too- I think I am 2 or 3DPO and only BD'd twice this week! Oops, how did I let that happen?!

aphrodeity

21-12-2007, 08:39

Don't worry Nomsie, it could still happen!

kittykatz

21-12-2007, 08:39

Noms, i'm the same. BD'd only twice the whole fertile period!

But my friend who "accidently" fell pregnant only BD'd once 3 days before AF and she was UTD, so we're definately in with a chance!

21-12-2007, 08:47

I'm super excited. Finish up at midday for our christmas party then tomorrow up to Mt Tamborine for our week of luxury. I got DH a massage package for christmas and they are coming to us in the house in the rainforest.

I had acupuncture last night and she couldn't find anything even to treat!! So she worked on my kidney qi because i was ovulating, to help with that side of things. Now we are thinking of working on DH, a fortnightly acupuncture or massage treatment because he is so stressed and tired from his job its no good for him or his fertility.

I didn't get the job I applied for closer to home, but i am kind of glad because I would have been in an office by myself and i don't handle solitude very well.

21-12-2007, 09:31

hi everyone!

cycle day 6 here, af is gone gone gone! yay!! :yelclap:

off to finish my last minute xmas shopping, and get my DS a haircut, (arming myself with alot of chocolate, as this is the only thing that works and gets him to sit still and not scream at the hairdresser LMAO)

on a sad note- my landlord decided that we couldnt keep Blaze :gloomy: :crying: I have been absoloutely devistated the last few days as I had to return her to the pound. ( i am an animal lover, so this distressed me immensely)
My landlord told me it was ok for us to get a dog, then the minute he found out she was part staffy he lost it and said that either we had to leave, or she had to...:hissy: We dont have anywhere else to go!! And plus a few days before xmas, what a jerk!!

I went and visited with her yesterday and took her a big bone which she loved, and the ladies there tell me i can keep going there and visiting her, i have also given them my number so i can be a reference for her too!

So sad, i wish that there was some way i could go and get her and bring her home. :crying:

Katcha

Hi girls,

Mel sorry you had to take you doggy back, right on xmas what an a**hole :no:

Someone else said they would be ovulating at the inlaws?? forget who it was OOPPPSSS well i am supposed to be ovulating roughly tomorrow and yep we are heading to MY mothers place!!! Although Tarleha was concieved at the inlaws maybe its a good sign :cool:

In having said that girls i will still use my original testing date but i have a funny suspicion i have already ovulated :confused: Once early on like cd 14/15 then i swear i was Ovulating again 2 days ago and yesterday....hmmm....Oh well got a really great BD in last night we went to my hubby's work xmas party and OMG did i get drunk :eek: I never get drunk but it was great BD at like 3 in the morning lol.

Anyways if not around you know its because im at my mothers and wont be able to get online, we will be gone for a week. The only reason i think i wont be able to get online is because she doesnt know we are ttc so would be a bit sus unless of course she is in bed or something hehehe.

I'm doing well thanks, just pottering about and preparing for Christmas, and trying to fumble my way through my first charting cycle. I keep waking up at different times and so my temps are a little wacky, oops! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a belated Christmas present (aka a :bfp:!), but I have to hang out until about half-way through January to find out if I get one or not!

Hope everyone is enjoying the time before christmas(hehe) all my chrissy shopping is pretty much done thank god,we got our new pool and gazebo the pool is huge and so nice to swim in.

I am feeling a bit tired and crabby today,and have been going to the loo every 15 mins and i have only drank a 600ml bottle of water and that was a good 5 hrs ago.I have not got af which is good i just hope that it means something (please god).

Only about 12 days left till testing,and on the 2nd i am going to be in thats life magazine.I can't wait im so excited.

Hi guys just got home from my work break up which was a nice arvo. I was called into work for a couple of hours and then went to the break up for a couple of drinks, which was nice. Free drinks of Bundy at the distillery (only appropriate hehe). DS has me wondering as I was just lying on the couch and he lifted my shirt and pointed to my belly and kept repeating bubby bubby bubby, put my shirt down and was playing peek a boo. Aww :(

Not sure if I'm going to be on for the next few days as its the lead up to christmas and my dh has the weekend off also.

Af still here. Hoping she racks off soon.

Hope you all have a fantastic time for Christmas if i don't get a chance to hop back on.

Bayli has been alright, i think he wouldve been worse if we had her here for longer, because they were already forming a bit of a bond together. Its really just more incentive to get organised with a house deposit and get our own place!!
:hugs: thanks everyone!

cycle day 7 got some good bd last night lol..tmi bed ended up about 5 cm from wall LMAO!! told you it was tmi!!!

Well girls, here we are christmas eve- eve.

I can't believe I am CD 19 already! And 4 DPO.... what the?!?! I have NO idea where all the time has gone. December felt like such a long TWW, I was tearing my hair out! And now I am 4DPO?! (and only BD'd twice, big oops there!) Crikey!:eek:

Two more sleeps until I find out what jewellery DP has got me for Christmas! (It's always jewellery! He likes to keep me all blinged up!) :flowerz:

Well, goodluck to all of you, I say! I think I may be starting the Feb testing thread very soon! Say, in another 9 days! :laughing:

ETA: oh dear lord, just realised from my little joke that all we have left of 2007 is 8 days! Holy freakin cow!

Good morning girls :wave:

I am still plugging away, now at CD12. Getting into the whole FF thing so its interesting to see how my cycle is developing, although its too early in the game to be able to predict anything!

We're busy over the next few days so while I don't think I could go cold turkey on my net addiction, I might not get much time on here. So I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year of course), and is very productive in their baby-making endeavours!

I'm just hanging out to find out what DH got me for Christmas. He says that he's gotten me a bowling ball inscribed with Homer (a la that Simpsons episode..), but he was quick to point out that it was just a joke and that he has actually bought me something else, once I reminded him what Marge did with that bowling ball (went off and started an affair with a French bowling instructor!) :laughing:

Enjoy the Chrissie lead up girls :)

No, I'm not excited, either. Had some watery/ EWCM today, so I am abou to put that into ff and see if it changes anything- doubt it will, but you never know. I just don't think we have BD'd enough for anything to happen, but bigger miracles have been known.... :fingerscrossed: :babydust2:

Hi Pices, do you know how long your cycles are, and when your ovulation is? That would help you figure out when to test. I think it is 14 days past ovulation that you can test, but I am having a mental blank at the moment :dizzy: so hopefully one of the other girls can clarify that for you!

Nomsie

24-12-2007, 08:40

Righto, well I think I have the calendar up to date. Well for now that is! DP and I got in some lovin last night, which is good, considering I am pretty darn sure I had some fertile mucous there! (TMI, gotta love it!)

I wasnt sure how much baileys to put in either, so i did one batch using about 3 tablespoons, and one batch with err about 5 lol..theyre really potent!!!

24-12-2007, 09:48

Yeah, they sound awesome! Thanks for posting Baylismum, I will definitely have to try them sometime :yes: But for the sake of my involvement in the TTC weight loss thread, I might have to wait a bit because I've been a bit naughty this Christmas :p I made people panforte and chocolate truffles as gifts, and of course you wouldn't want to give them something bad, so I had to taste them to make sure they were ok, and then again to check that they hadn't gone off, etc etc etc... :angel:

And Noms, seeing as sharing is caring, I feel obliged to update you all that FF is telling me I am now "most fertile". Woo hoo :smiliedance:even if I don't get pregnant this cycle, at least it's a return to normal lengths! Merry Xmas all :p :)

Hi everyone. Just a very quick post from me to say Merry Christmas to everyone!

Sorry to everyone who got AF or BFN.

Well I am not sure exactly where i am in my cycle, and i don't even care!! Well I don't really know when I ovulated that is. I thought it was on CD14 but maybe someone was listening to me when i begged for it to hold off until the weekend, because i still had EWCM and got a VERY nice BD session in on CD17, in (well on) the spa (TMI!!!)

Then a few days later FF confirmed that day as O day!! Had my mum and stepdad round for dinner the next night and mum said "you know 2 other couples have conceived in this house since the owners bought it", (meaning the house we are housesitting).

Anyway that was my short post.

My love to all!

Sharai

27-12-2007, 11:34

I am CD 10 but my boobs been tingly for a while.
I am due to O around CD 20 - 22 depending what my cycle is doing.

Hope everyone had a lovely christmas. As lovely as it is to have the family around I'm glad its over too a its very draining with so much excitement and food and more food:laughing:
Its great to relax after too.
The kids have slept in till 8:30am normally they are up around 7am or earlier. So its been so much over excitement for them.

I am so crossing my fingers this month for a BFP. :babydust2: to all and hope everyone gets their :bfp: this month too.:hugs:

Hi everyone - I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! All the Adelaide girls better start worrying with the way you lovely Perth girls talking about the heat over there.... You know where it's heading next!! New years eve is supposed to be 39 or something :eek:

I am CD26 today and I think I o'd CD16/17. Everything fell into place this month.... but sadly I don't think I am PG :crying: No signs of AF yet as it's still a bit soon but I don't have any symptoms and being that I have been PG once before I thought I'd recognize the same sort of feelings. Also a couple of months ago I had my first IVF cycle and they had me on the progesterone needles. THese gave me all the same preganancy symptons I got with DD so I was expecting my body to react the same if I was actually pregnant. Not getting too sad just yet but I just have that feeling.

On the bright side if AF comes on time I might be able to enjoy myself New Years Eve and have a few drinks :smiliedance:

28-12-2007, 09:05

Hi all,
I need someone to have a look at my chart, it is saying the maybe i 'o'd around CD 11!! i am on CD 17 and when i put my temp in dismorning it frecked out (again this is the second time this mth) so can some one have a look and let me know what they think, and BTW all the CM is the same as last cycle, an i 'o'd on CD 19 last mth. Please let me know what you think.

mixy

28-12-2007, 09:08

I just overlayed charts using o and coverline and i only had two temps beow the coverline this cycle so i am sure its wrong, i think i will o in the next couple of days, silly thing is just trying to freck me out:(

BoyCrazy

28-12-2007, 09:14

morning girls

mixy-hi!! hope u had a good chrissy! i think ure chart looks fine..i wouldnt worry about cycle day 11 for o..i usually o on cd13. i especially like your temp dip on 6dpo!!

hmm ok jus t saw your last post there..i dunno..i still like how your chart looks for the month! :)

im due to o today, need to do an opk...do u have to use fmu for them?

mixy

28-12-2007, 09:19

hi baylismum, we had a great chriisy i hope you all had a wonderful time, what did bayli think of his pressies:)
Yeah silly chart, i will see in the next couple of days, i am still getting EWCM so i will keep on BDing just to mack sure. i see that your testing day has moved to before mine.... gggrrrrr lol only kiding, it all seems so far away. If i did o' on CD 11 i dont htink i am preg as they were not good ones (TMI) and both my other two were conceived on really 'passionate' nights, so we will see.

gee:ecomcity: but ah well:)

mixy

28-12-2007, 09:21

and just thought baylismum your last chart you were checking your cervix alot, it looks like you are not this mth, but i will put this out there, i will not check my cervix around o' time because it seems to 'pull' alot of 'stuff' away, and that seems like a waste. i dont know if anyone agrees with me here, but you never know.

mummynow

28-12-2007, 09:22

Hi Baylismum - No you do not use FMU. It is recommended not to use FMU as it is too concentrated and will likely give you an innacurate reading. Also make sure you don't drink large amount of water etc. within the 2 hours prior to doing the OPK otherwise your test sample may be too diluted to get an accurate reading.

Good Luck!!

elly_star

28-12-2007, 09:23

too many pages to read!

I'm due to test on the 1st too, hooray!

Its so hard trying to be good, I didn't have too much alcohol (didn't even really feel like it!) and hardly had any coffee...

good luck everyone!

BoyCrazy

28-12-2007, 09:24

yea mixy id say if you still have ewcm just keep going for it!! lol

bayli loved all his pressies for xmas, i think he was very spoilt!! we had a fantastic time, very relaxing and merry :laughing: yes too much alcomohol lol.

i found that with fertility friend chart my date of ovulation changed as i entered my daily data, but you can generally tell by when u get your o cramps and the first big temp dip..oh and CM lol. I usually write everything down on paper as well as in ffriend, that way i have a record in my diary as well.

not temping or charting this month tho...giving myself a break from ttc!

BoyCrazy

28-12-2007, 09:27

mummynow- thanks for that! i might go and do one now!!!

mixy- i usually check cervix, but i also had those thoughts too, what if your removing all of the good stuff!!!

Hi everyone

That is a very good point about checking the cervix too much around ovulation!!!

Well I'm a bit confused. FF confirmed my O at day 14 (which is when I felt myself O - about 30mins after BDing!).

Well yesterday i got a tiny bit of brown CM and again today, along with my temps diving but I am only 8DPO. I also have AF cramps.

I think AF might come early? My mum and I always had our cycles in sync with each other. She is due tomorrow, and i have seen her nearly every day this week, so maybe that is what is going on?

I think AF might come early? My mum and I always had our cycles in sync with each other. She is due tomorrow, and i have seen her nearly every day this week, so maybe that is what is going on?
Hmm not sure KK, I am still only new to this and slowly learning, but don't people have consistent luteal phases? Hopefully its not AF :fingerscrossed:

I have a question for those who are on clomid?

I started spotting Wednesday lunch time but didn't get af until late Wednesday night,so do i count Wednesday as cd 1 or Thursday as cd 1 ?

Just making sure everything is wright for when i start taking clomid!

Cheers
Hi Heaven Sent, no idea about the Clomid sorry, but I was under the impression that CD1 is the first day of full flow, so personally I would count Thursday as CD1. But someone who knows more about it may want to correct me :)

Hope everyone's going well! My body seems to be playing ball this month so I can't help getting excited :smiliedance: Sorry if TMI but my cervix is now so high its disappeared and FF approves of my CM, but still waiting for more than just a hint of EWCM. Trying to stay relaxed and happy and thinking sticky sparky conceptiony thoughts :goodvibes:

You count full flow red bleed as day one. Now if it's before midday then you count that day as CD1. If it's after midday - particularly at night as with your situation then you actually count the very next day as CD1.

So in your cycle this month Thursday is definately day 1. It's a common question that everyone asks and can be confusing. We had clomid for DD and then tried it again for #2 but to no avail. Total of 11 cycles on clomid across to times TTC.

haha baylismum, i didn't even think of that. Good old implantation spotting/dip!!! i really must be relaxed!

Yes, that would be nice. We'll see i guess. I don't have a good feeling about this month, but I think that is because i had already written it off as "not actively TTC" because of the hurt and disappointment recently.

Anyway, am back home tomorrow (boo hoo). Will have to get stuck into weeding/gardening or spring cleaning to get through the rest of the TWW.

Hey Everyone

I'm back!!! I hope you all had a fantastic chrissy!!! We had a lovely time on our holiday. The kids loved seeing their great grandparents again and vice versa. They haven't seen each other for about 13 months!!! So needless to say the kids have grown and the grandies have grown fonder. They loved the beach and all their pressies - santa is now very poor!!!

I see there's a few lookin good for a bfp in the near future....WOOHOO!!! I can't wait.

Ok talk to you all soon.

How exciting!! So is it the magazine that comes out next week Jan 2nd? I assume seeings as you announced it you don't mind if I wanted to read it? Any hints on what it's about so we know it's your story??

And how do you get to tell your story in that magazine anyway? I've always wondered about that? Do you just ring them or email them and they tell you if they're interested?

Hi Ladies

Well, I have been feeling crampy for about a week now. I brought one of those 5 days prior HPT. DH told me to wait until Monday, but I double checked and I'm 4 days prior. I caved and tested...

and

got a :bfp:. It's very faint, but it is there...

Will retest in a couple of days to confirm, but :smiliedance::smiliedance::smiliedance:

BoyCrazy

29-12-2007, 12:52

:wave:

yea heavensent- apparently temping down there is meant to be alot more accurate than orally..do you temp at the same time every morning? im just curious cos you are still BF like me, and i was finding it really hard to temp at the same times.. do you feed at night still?

BoyCrazy

I read an article last month about bf and ttc and can give you "patches of fertile cm" around your o time..also it says that feeding during the night can cause you to not ovulate. (this is not everyone of course!!) but thought u might be interested to know!...:D

Congrats Tls! Great start to the Jan testing thread...not even Jan yet! :smiliedance:

Hope everyone's having a great weekend. It's so hot over here. Not as hot as on boxing day of course! But I'm so glad I have a pool & aircon. Wouldn't be able to survive without them!Have been in for a dip a few times today & am now thinking about getting ready to go out to dinner tonight. It's my SIL's last night in Perth before she heads back to Sydney so we're going out for Chinese tonight.....Yum! :yes:

well im on cd 25. i hope that i either get a bfp or af in a couple of days! either way i'll be happy i think - at least my cycle will be a normal length

honeydew

29-12-2007, 21:44

Hi girls! I have been reading along but not posting much cause I sort of feel that TTC is taking over our lives atm and I don't like it. So I'm trying not to obsess BUT just want to say I am cd 13 and I think maybe I O'd tonight... I had AF cramping for about an hour and then a really sharp definate pain on my left side, and then it was tender for a little while on that side. Sounds like it could be O? :fingerscrossed: After such long cycles for so long it would be so wonderful to ovulate at a normal time.

Shea- I really really hope you get your BFP in a couple of days. How is your FF chart looking, does it say when you O'd?

Heavensent- I don't normally buy that's life but I'm going to so I can read your story! Sounds like it was a scary time for you :hugs: Like Mel said, temping vaginally is apparently far more accurate but I only do it orally, I can't bring myself to do it up there LOL. Mine have been acurate enough that it has pinpointed the right day of O for me each cycle. When do you start on the clomid?

I replied in the December thread but again CONGRATULATIONS Tls5431!! Wishing you a very sticky and healthy 9 months :babydust2:

How is everyone else going? I can't wait for January to see some more BFP's!!

MoonstoneMumma

29-12-2007, 22:00

haylie - nope, ff has not given me an o day. it wanted to on cd19, but then my temp dropped and it didn't - bummer. oh well so therefore my chart is looking cr*pola!

honeydew

29-12-2007, 22:03

Oh what a bugger Shea! Do you think you did O on cd19 despite your temps?

BoyCrazy

30-12-2007, 09:16

hey girls
hope ur all havin a good weeekend! :)
haylie-:wave: how r u? i know wha t u mean about ttc taking over your life! drives u nuts after a while, i think having a month off every now and again is a good thing, especially as ttc plays constantly on our minds (either waiting to o, tww, or waiting for af) :banghead: haha sends me a bit bonkers anyways!

im having a terrible 2 of a day, bayli has already been in time out twice and its only 9:30am!!! :hissy: (thats me btw, haha) i think he needs a nap!!

anywho, off to make sure he hasnt destroyed the house :laughing: hes awfully quiet, and that usually means theyre up to no good!!! (or doing a poo lmao)

Afternoon all you lovely ladies!

Nomsie, can you please put me down to test on the 22nd? Thanks in advance! I've just finished reading everyone's post and this thread has such a great vibe to it! I think that has a lot to do with our wonderful 'leader' Nomsie, oh masterful one! I love reading your posts they leave me sitting here grinning like a fool!!!

Glad to hear everyone had a great Christmas, now we're onto a fantastic New Year! I can't believe it is gonna be 2008 so soon! I think I'm gonna be sad to see the lovely Christmas icons disappear, especially this little guy :noel:! What a sweet Santa!

Not much happening here, AF is leaving so we'll be back into it in a matter of hours I think (sorry TMI!).

Bleeding sandflies and mosquitoes are making life a little more frustrating! At least the 'moat' surrounding our house has receded and now I can actually venture into town again!!! But it is also bringing more biting insects :banghead:! Maybe we should look into getting some Areoguard shares hmmm...

Rightio, enough nonsense from me! have a great day everyone and I look forward to some more early BFPs!!!

Sam :bee:

Nomsie

30-12-2007, 13:26

Well today in adelaide its rather hot:sunshine: so staying inside in the cool air con. ;)
Feeling a bit sorry for myself for yesterday as I missed a bit of suncream that I couldn't reach and got burnt out at Victor Harbour but it was a nice day out. But my back shoulders are a bit:banghead:, I should've got DH to put some suncream there.

Well I am on CD13 and will apparently O on CD 20 - 22 ish as my cycles are about 33 days long going by last months. And have a LP of 11 to 12ish.

So 8th Jan is approx O date then test on 20th Jan. I hope to catch the eggie :fingerscrossed:

DH is outside putting up some lights as we are having NYE at our place with friends.

My boys are arguing in the back room somewhere. So I'd better sort them out.

SammiAnn

30-12-2007, 14:11

You're VERY welcome Nomsie! Sweet people deserve the best compliments everyday :kiss:!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash my seat 'cos you just made me wet it (ewww)!!!

PS Hmmm... me thinks it would only be harder if it was you and I darl, seems to be a vital tool missing :laughing:! (not that I'm calling DH one either!!!)

:fingerscrossed: o comes for you soon.

M2M-I hope that it definitely was o for you,its such a pain when your cycles aren't normal :hair:.It does sound like you did o :fingersceossed:

Thanks hun it was a scary time,but i am very thankful that i was given a chance to spend my life with my gorgeous family.

I start the clomid tomorrow im so excited but nervous at the same time.Do you think the clomid is working for you?

Shea-i hope that you get your bfp in the next few days :D

Well we spent last night in the ER as ds had mystery high temps,he went down to sleep at about 6 which was very unusual for him.He woke up around tea time and refused to eat/drink and felt warmish and then went back to sleep.He woke up at 9 with a high temp and he was very drowsy.We took him to the ER and the doc said he might have tonsillitis and he was dehydrated :(.We got him to drink lots and had to try catch wee for 3 hrs.We tried everything.Guess what got him to wee,i took him to the toilet and popped him on the loo i said do wees for mum but he wouldn't so i sat on the loo and said this is how you do it,and what do you know he starts peeing on the floor lucky i caught some hah?LOL

He is better today although very cranky.

I start clomid tomorrow can't wait.

Hope everyone is well

SammiAnn

30-12-2007, 14:33

Hi everyone how are we?? How has everyone been??

I'm going good, not sure where i am up to.. well i know i am CD18.. so not sure if i am into the TWW or not.. haven't had a positive O test yet but not sure if i can go by that... had a bit of discomfort the last to BDing times which is what happened about 2 weeks before my last AF so i am thinking that it may be wat happens when i O... Hmmm not sure but what do we think??

How is everyone feeling about New Years... I would LOVE to drink but don't want to just incase.. u know...

honeydew

30-12-2007, 15:12

Hi AmyLou! Hopefully you are in the 2ww and can test soon :fingerscrossed:

Heavensent- are you day 5 tomorrow? I started clomid day 5, I wonder why some of us have to start at day 5 and some at day 2? I'm not sure if it's working for me but I really really hope so! I could have sworn I O'd last night because of those pains I had and then the headache afterwards & today which I had last cycle, but this morning my temp was really low again so who knows :confused: Maybe I am O'ing today because I've had more cramps on that same side and I am cd14... I just have to wait and see what my temps do. I hope your little man is 100% better asap :hugs:

Shea- when are you testing?

Mel- I am experiencing the terrible 2's about 6 months too early :hair: Mason is soooo stubborn (like his daddy LOL) and won't listen to anything I say. I can't help but love him though, he's just so damn cute!! Valentine (I am very biased though hehe)

Well boys are sorted with something in their bellies and watching "Happy Feet" for the umpteenth time.:rolleyes:

I'll drink a little bit but keep it sensible as I know the boys don't really care if you are hung over then next morning but also cos I'm ttcing I'll behave as well.

To all ttc this month or the New Year I wish you all the best.

My youngest 3 had a mystery illness temp and went to ER they did all these blood tests and said it looked like a blood infection. I was a bit beside myself. They pumped 3 x 20ml of whatever medication it was and he started to come good. He still had high temps for a week but not as high as 40. Doc said at least it didn't rise quickly or we'd be in trouble with the little one. It was a gradual rise that panadol kids couldn't stop it. My Mitch has asthma too so I was so worried. but he did come good and now touch wood has been good for about 6 weeks ish.

Hope your little boy continues to improve. It really pulls at the heart when they are so flat and unwell. Hugs to you and your boy.
