Congratulations sexymouse. That is really fantastic news.

We've had a truly hideous and stressful few days. I did not sleep at all on Tuesday night and spent most of yesterday in floods of tears. Had to get an emergency hospital appointment with DD, who on top of all her other disabilities and problems may now have some form of blood disorder (which obviously range from quite minor on the scale of things to utterly catastrophic). Just in the waiting phase now for results, and seeing consultant again next week. Which has really put TTC into its correct perspective. In fact in all the fuss, I forgot to reset the CBFM to CD1 and when I tried this morning to set it to CD3 it wouldn't let me and so is 2 days out of synch, and obviously temping hasn't been happening either and would be completely pointless due to lack of sleep. Nor has AC due to lack of food, but my weight loss as a result is going great guns! Added to all this, OH has just left for another trip to India.

Anyway game plan is to try and rest and relax as much as I can with a toddler who has felt a bit neglected over the last couple of days for obvious reasons, and get my sleep deficit under control if I can, and get rid of this hideous tension headache I'm carrying around, and hope that everything is OK with DD and that all this huge stress is happening so early in the cycle that it won't stop ovulation this month.

OMG! Sexymouse I'm so excited for you both! :j :j :j :j

Congratulations! I just knew this was your month!

P.S I can't believe you waited for the wee to get to room temp! I just wack the stick straight in! :rotfl:

congratulations sexymouse! hope you have a happy and healthy nine months :j:j:j:j
(you should totallly refer to the baby's progress in moon stages, like right now it's a new moon, at 20 weeks it'll be a half moon )

well ladies i was very naughty and last night ordered some first response off amazon as i have prime and they were only 5.81. DH should be out early on his mad car trip on saturday so i'll test then which is only two days early.

for ladies that have been trying longer than me, can i ask (if you don't mind) if you convince yourself you're pregnant each month? this is only our second cycle officially trying but i've convinced myself every month since we lost our angel. even for a few days after AF comes i still have suspicions lol just feel totally mental and like how will i ever tell the difference when i actually am? i guess you can't til you get that wonderful test
even now, i'm pretty sure i'm not, but i'm like 'usually when i don't think something i'm waiting for is going to happen, that's when it does, so i must be this month'
i mean, i'm pretty relaxed about it taking a long time cos i know that i have PCOS so it's not like i'm panicking each month thinking 'what's wrong, why hasn't it happened yet' because i know why it hasn't. and the disappointment when AF comes is only for that day.
it's the 2ww that's killing me. i guess i never have had much patience.

well that was an unexpected ramble lol x x

*hugs* for Nicki, hope your DD is on the minor side of things if she has it at all and you all feel better soon x x

Nicki

Yes Teamlowe, I manage to convince myself every month that I am, even if I don't symptom spot out loud, or even if I am proclaiming that I know I am not! It took a couple of months after the miscarriage for me to lose all my pregnancy symptoms anyway, so I had on off morning sickness and very tender boobs for that period which got worse in the second half of the cycle. I'm not any longer having those physical symptoms, but do get the normal pre AF ones which are so similar to pre pregnancy, so its hard to stay level headed.

Wooooooohoooooo for SexyMouse! :j I'm honestly *so* pleased for you, I'm actually sat here grinning!

Sending hugs to Nicki, hope the results come back with good news, try too look after yourself.

I can't watch anything like OBEM with OH, he's so squeamish he'd probably faint when it comes to anything about 'ladies bits' (but can happily watch Hostel and Saw without flinching). I was telling him the other night that I'd watched Call the Widwife on iplayer and he stopped me from telling him what it was about as he assumed it'd be 'gross'! I have no idea what he'll be like when it comes to me actually giving birth, I'm going to have my Mum there as back-up so if he does turn green we can send him out and Mum can look after me! He claims he won't be going anywhere near dirty nappies, snot and 'eye goo' but I'm not dealing with it all the time (and I won't be there all the time once I go bac to work and we're sharing childcare) so he's going to have to learn, a bit of a baptism of fire I think!

Oh and I've *known* I'm not PG every time I've taken a test yet each time I was disappointed as I was kind of convinced that it'd be a BFP! How does that work?!

Same here Birdie! Don't know what thats all about!!

OH and I set the alarm to BD at 4am this morning, as I think I ovulated yesterday. We both get up for work at 730am but I wanted some time to let the sperm 'settle' haha. Fingers crossed for success.

Quick question - after BDing what does everyone do? I have been laying on my back, with a pillow under my bum to tilt my uterus and stop sperm coming out, for about 20 minutes. Is this long enough? What does everyone else do? *nosey*
