    Well I'm remarkably bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning - sprang out of bed at 6.30, and am already settled down with a cup of tea and scrambled eggs on toast :)

    I think I can safely assumed I didn't ov a couple of days ago though, my temp took a right nose dive this morning - lowest its been since I started temping! Maybe I do just naturally have slightly long cycles.... :o

    Bit cloudy here compared to how it has been, which is a shame in some ways, but on the other hand it's quite nice for me as I'm stuck indoors all day and get very restless when I can see how lovely and sunny it is out! (selfish I know, lol!) Going to pop out later to get some food shopping - it's allowed to be sunny then! :D

    GG - hope your little one recovers soon, bless him. In my limited experience of young kids, they seem to get "struck down" very suddenly, but equally recover very quickly too, so I'm sure he'll bounce back and be up to mischief in no time! :)

    A question about the facebook group - how is it super secret? I'm assuming that none of my RL friends will be able to see that I'm a member of a TTC group?! (I'm guessing that's the whole point!) I must admit I'm a bit rubbish with FB - I look at it regularly to see what's going on, but hardly ever do anything with it myself!

    CD16 and low on CBFM:(
    I should be oving this Monday, why is it still low? Hope it's not much later than that. DH is going away tomorrow afternoon:(

    I don't like to do it in front of OH as I think it might freak him out a bit! :rotfl:
    Me too, he knows I temp, but I do it while he's in the bathroom:o
    Good on you for getting some good bargains:money:.

    Doc said yesterday that he wouldn't bring on AF @ CD90 as previously thought, as it would artificially affect my hormone levels, which would then make the CD2-5 blood test for hormone levels redundant. Which makes logical sense, but it's frightening not to have an end point for this cycle :(
    Oh, it affects hormone tests? Hope mine won't:shocked:
    I'm going to be taking progesterone tabs at the end of my cycle to prolong LP so I'll be back in time for IVF. I'm getting a blood test at CD1:o

    - opks, no EWCM and possibly a polyp or something I've just felt on my cervix :(
    Your hormones may not have settled yet. But your coverline was 96.8F last cycle, if you put the line now, it looks like you've ov'd at CD25? I don't know:o

    Oh man, I just got back from the gym and am in a whole world of pain! My legs already hurt, but now they are even worse - and I think tomorrow I won't be able to lift my arms either! I do find it fun though, in a weird sadistic way...! :rotfl:
    I know what you mean:o But I love the feeling that something is working:p

    evening. well my facial and back massage was AMAZING and well worth the 25!!
    Aww... lucky you:happyhear
    QQ it put in a def ov line on 13 the other day and today when I put I have watery !!! it changed it to a dotted line. We dtd on ov day and the three days before but not since. I'm pretty sure I'm not this month. However my period is due on mothers day! Lovely!
    FF does that, so I tend to write creamy after ov to fool FF:p
    One gets estrogen surge few days after ov, so fertile cm is perfectly normal then:)

    Well CD1 for me:( . Good news is that this month's cycle was 28 days, here's hoping that it will stay at that from now on!! It's now on for a 2012 baby!!

    Olympic baby it is:beer:
    I am very lucky to have two healthy and happy boys already :) If I am pregnant then it's a positive thing because I absolutely loved raising our boys and would love to do it again :)
    You'll be happy either way:o If not pg this cycle, there's always the next cycle:p Why not get the coil removed?

    Im going to test sunday if no AF. Ive got sore chesticles, very tired and feel very bloated, lots of toilet trips too today. Is this amount of SS bad?
    He he, no SSing:naughty: But we can't really help it, we all do it anyway:p
    FS app on thursday so only 6 days to go!! 1 more week and I shall be moving on to the 12 months plus thread but will still spy on you all!
    Good luck at the appt, hope the doc gives you something to bring AF on and reset everything:o

    As for 12month+, have you had 12 perfectly times cycles? If not, you may be too early:o
    Had a bad week cause my wee boy is sick, had to take him to a&e today, was convinced he had meningitis, but they think its just a virus, Gave me quite a shock though. Can't wait till he gets better, Gave me a reality check much like mrsvicx about not taking what you have for granted!!!
    (((hugs))) to GG jr:o Hope he gets better soon.
    As for reality check, a lot of people who are taking long time for #2 seems to think it is harder than ttc #1. For people who doesn't have a baby, and wants just the one baby, it's hard to understand, but according to them, it's harder because you know what you are missing:o
    Have decided i'm going on a diet once and for all on monday, even went to asda today and DIDN'T buy crisps! so unlike me! I am sitting her dying for some but must resist!!:o
    Good luck:cool: I haven'd had crisps since the middle of January:o
    Thanks for asking tinsky, he's ok, just woke up crying, very strange cry and just wanted a cuddle, I'm so worried about him :(
    Awww... poor thing:(
    I just texted one of my friends and said to her I thought he had meningitis today and all she could say was oh i hope its not that because thats contagious!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
    Some people:mad:
    Morning :)
    Did test at 5 this morning - negative. Shall have to wait a couple more days to see which arrives first - AF or BFP :)
    Fingers crossed:o
    After 3 days it was discovered that he had a really nasty ear infection - as soon as they gave him medication within half an hour he was drinking a bottle of milk and was wrapped in a sheet :) Within a couple of hours he was practically back to normal :)
    Amazing how some medication can work its miracle:cool:

    Yes that's the point, I'm not on it though, I like to keep my identity secret:o

  • GG -
    What I would suggest is that if you have any worries go back and if he continues to be unwell get his ears checked hunny x

    He had all the symptoms except the floppyness! Hence my anxiety, He's just woken up today and does look a bit brighter than yesterday so thats good :)

    Thanks :) You're so right! He's been ill for 5 days this time though and got worse not better thats why I was so concerned, He is looking brighter today so i'm hoping yesterday was the low point and hes on his way up now

    I thought the thread was for people trying longer than 12 months regardless of how many cycles? It is titled 12m+:o

    As for secret FB group, Yes its super secret, noone can see your a member and you can't find it if you search for it! Its so secret you need a super secret invite to be a member:p

    yay i can see avatars! absolutely no idea how to load one up myself though :(

    I'm not impressed with today's weather either, we are supposed to be going to buy a washing line and lawn mower today, both broke back in october but we didn't bother replacing because we wouldn't use them. Sick of drying washing inside on radiators all the time. my cats also seem to have lost the plot today and are doing what we call rampaging at high rates of speed round the house!!!

    no symptoms here except for a bit of nausea but as I didn't eat tea last night thats probably what it is but last night I was retching :( hope i've not got a bug its our anniversary this week.

    Well AF was due today and nothing is showing IYKWIM.
    I don't want to test coz I don't want the knowledge of being a BFN although I would like the knowledge of a BFP. Arrrrgggghhh decisions decisions.

    Oh and its nice to put faces to names on the secret secret page!! You all look beautiful ladies!! (drops head trying not to look like mad stalker...)

    everything crossed for you hon. it only takes one swimmer and he can survive for five days remember! xx

    BD'd last nite with OH, should still be way to early for OV for me at the mo. Its funny being the other way round and trying not to get pregnant for a change!! Definately helps me feel chilled out.

    Going to keep temping and charting signs and use the next 2 months as 'control' months lol. And then be back with a vengence TTC from June onwards.

    Have a good weekend everyone, remember the clocks go forward - light nights!

    Hey all, hope everyone's ok!

    Tested with FMU and BFN again. Think I'm 13dpo but don't know, I'm just basing this on when we last BD'd all the way iykwim!!

    Still don't feel Right, really tired, slept 12 hrs last night and would have slept more had DH not got me up at 11am. no cramps since Wednesday and no spotting since Thursday so I may still be too early.

    My plan of action is to test again Monday and if still BFN then I'm going to the docs Monday afternoon (lovely work have their own doctors to make it easier to get appointment while In working hours)

    Anyway, I'm bid to lurking till Monday! Big hugs and SBDTA xxx

    Hi all :)
    Aww GG - it sounds like your little one is getting better, I'm so glad :) xx

    Here's a little update for you all :)
    Yesterday morning I had very, very light salmon pink when I wiped, (sorry tmi). Was fine in morning but felt absolutely shattered by half 11 and was like it for the rest of the day. Had a massive binge on chocolate in the afternoon - knew my AF was on it's way, it's one of my first signs. Had nothing else in lower region for rest of day. Was absolutely shattered last night and slept for most of it. Did test at 5 this morning - negative. At about half 6 this morning - AF, proper red. Nothing much for another 3 or 4 hours then dark reddy more like brown colour which seems normal to me. All morning I have had a surge of energy - yay :D But just had wave of giddiness again?! Personally I think AF has truly arrived and I'm not pregnant - I'm fine with it and honestly just felt happy to feel more normal, (whatever normal is for me,lol)! But I was surprised by the giddiness? I think it may be my coil causing this? I am having it taken out on the 8th regardless anyway. It could possibly be a shorter period I suppose and I am actually pregnant but I doubt it.
    Any thoughts?

    Lol - tell me about it!! Was just thinking - wonder if I need my eyes tested, could be causing the dizzy spells when I look at pc,lol! Last week the nausea came at all times mind, I didn't have to be looking at pc or reading, etc but wonder if it is as simple as that now?
    In all honesty I don't believe I'm pregnant now but think I need a little MOT to check if everything is ok :)
