    hello ladies

    Congratulations to the BFP's!!!!!:T

    just bobbing on to say I'm still here! i know i said i would start posting regularly but i have been struck down with a cold, and now a chest infection. Dr was shocked that i have never had antibiotics before (it was the 1st time i have ever been to the Dr's in my life) so i am now on the one they give ppl who are allergic antibiotics! :o

    Its been 3 weeks since ERPC, so I'm just waiting for AF! altho TBH i feel v. safe (almost content) at the min, no chance of BFN or mc! is this normal? Obv i want to be a mum, i am just so worried about another mc. since it took so long to get pregnant in the 1st place, i thought i must be very naive, but i truly never thought i would have a mc. seems very stupid now, why not me?, i guess.:o

    Anywho, can i be added to the list please!! soon as AF returns i will be trying! and posting!!

    luby-lu (22) TTC #1 since 10/09 (1 mmc 10/10)

    Thank you!

    QQ I hope your cough isn't too bad now.

    I think I'll have to start temping soon to get a real idea of what's going on. I'm switching to pineapple now which is quite yummy. I'd forgotten how nice it is actually.

    QQ anything to report your end?
    Cough is bad, couldn't sleep much last night, good thing DH is away, I can cough away to my hearts content:o

    I'm 99% sure I'm not pg (had a sneaky test:p).

    As for the future, I think I'll forego the IUI next month and go natural, and save the money for IVF starting next Feb. Would've liked to start that earlier, but we live in different places, so schedule doesn't match until then:( Have to talk to DH though when he's back.

    Hope the antibiotics agree with you, DH had some last week which gave him most exciting stomach symptoms:p

    (((Hugs))). You should be super fertile now, so you may end up as one of the lucky ones who gets a BFP before AF:cool:

    Welcome Ashbart:wave:
    I don't temp because I'm up and down to the loo in the night, I need drinks through the night and I wake up at different times each day, so I don't think the results would be reliable for me.
    That's true, but it can give you a general idea.
    I've had few months where I was doing overnight longhaul flights during ov, and I can tell you how confusing a chart could become:p

    Morning everyone,
    I don't know how some of you ladies cope with your OH's living or working away so much. As if the challenge of TTC isn't bad enough! ((hugs))

    Again, prob tmi... sorry.
    So my spotting yesterday morning was only first thing and stopped and then a little again this morning. Still have some cramp type discomfort in the tummy since yesterday and had a crappy headache all afternoon and night yesterday. I'm getting more hopeful as each hour passes that these aren't AF symptoms, but the problem still reamins that I have no idea if and when I've OV this month.... :p

    CD33 today. (CD24 high on cbfm, CD25, low on cbfm). So I still don't know if I OV on CD24 or if the machine just gave me a low on the last test day and I could have OV later. If it was CD24 I OV'd, then maybe the spotting could be implantation bleeding (assume that time frame fits), or maybe I'm just convincing myself. God, this drives you crazy! :rotfl:

    Sooooooo, if I was going to test, when do you think I should do this?
    TTC #3..........

    do you know i'm convinced that Mother Nature puts us all through this TTC stuff just to check out the type of parents we'll make and whether we're actually ready for it.

    I think i'm 3-4 DPO, i've decided that my temp drop two days ago was because it was a freezing cold night, we have no heating in the bedroom and i went to bed with sopping wet hair so was cold all night.
    I was also wondering do you think i can blame a potential pregnancy on a 5lb weight gain in a week or should i blame OH's birthday cake? lol

    All over the place Jen, the last 4 were 45, 36, 39 & 31 days..... :o
    I have a test in the house, but know it's still too early :rotfl:
    When do you think?

    Lemon tree - birthdays are supposed to be celebrated... When else would you scoff too much birthday cake :D

    yea, maybe hold off hon. i always try & wait as only have the one test left and they're pricey! if its really driving you mad you could test, but as ur cycles are pretty long u might just get a bfn & still be left wondering xx

    Perhaps get some cheap IC hpts:cool:

    The spotting could be:

    1.Random mid cycle spotting
    2.Ov spotting
    3.Implantation spotting
    4.Pre-AF spotting
    5.Rough BD:p

    Fingers crossed:)

    Not convinced on that, since I know too many mega fertile not fit to be parents people:whistle:
