Trying for a Baby Part 8

apple*pie

Thanks dundeeva for the opks, hope they are lucky. I've given up testing this month, just waiting for af in about a week and then will start again....
Keep having weird twinges and cramps in my stomach though, think I might have to see gp if it carries on

Evening ladies, hope you are all well.
My husband has his SMT first thing tomorrow and he seems remarkably relaxed about it! Not sure I'd be the same! Fingers crossed everything is okay!
It's not too bad as straight after we are heading down to the south coast for a few days for a little break... I dont think the weather will be anything to write home about but we're looking forward to the time off work!!

I'll be back next weekend, hoping to log on and see some more BFPs - good luck everyone!! xx

Good luck for your hubby tomorrow squ1rrel. Hope it goes well.

And enjoy your break, bad weather or not, it's nice to just get away.

Apple definitely go and see teh Dr if the pains aren't going away. Hope you feel better soon.

Hello ladies. Hope everyone had a good weekend, sorry to those who did not get the news they wanted this month.

QQ you seem to have the right philosophy, must be very hard tho.

Have you considered the adoption route as a plan b?

I must be the only one on here who's actually looking forward to the arrival of AF, so I can begin counting my cycle, as I had no idea until last week that the docs would allow me to conceive, I couldn't tell you where I am in it, I think it will come in the next week or so though.

Gonna buy some ovulator sticks although the CB ones look very expensive and not very MSE. Particularly the first month when you're not sure when you'll ovulate so I may need to use a few.

Could you buy the cheap ones from amazon/home health instead? You can use as many as those as you like then theyre so cheap!

Wish it wasnt Monday morning tomorrow!

*BigBird*

When did Monday sneak up on me? I'm not ready for Monday

Hugs Courgette. So sorry it didn't turn out to be your month.

And hugs to anyone else AF got.

I don't think QQ is really real. I think she's an angel But angels deserve forever babies too, so I hope it won't be much longer.

Oh, yesterday's talk of knitting reminded me I started knitting DS a jumper last winter, but only got as far as doing the back. I'd better get cracking or it'll be way too small

Monday...?!?! How did that happen?

Oh well. A nice week this week

Birdie85

Blegh, what a miserable Monday morning! Would like to be back in bed right now!

Hugs for Courgette, maybe next month will be your month!

Wish I could knit, I'm all fingers and thumbs so I doubt I'd be any good at it! I need to learn how to sew better as I can just about do the basics right now, see so many lovely projects on Pinterest that I'm desperate to try but know they won't end up looking anything like the photos online! :rotfl:

I keep thinking that QQ may be our guardian angel! As for the adoption and egg donation suggestions, I think I remember her saying that her OH doesn't want to adopt and QQ's eggies are fine, it's her OH's swimmers that have difficulty hitting the target.

On the subject of swimmers, OH is still waiting for a phone call about dropping off his sample, which means he's refused to come near me all weekend as he's convinced he'll get a call the minute we're finished! I've tried to explain that they have to give him notice so he's prepared but he won't listen. Thank goodness he decided we were 'allowed' to BD on Wednesday as they wouldn't want his sample on a weekend, I'd be crawling the walls (more than I am now...) if we hadn't! :rotfl:

ETA: I was a super stroppy cow yesterday so that must mean that OV is imminent! OH didn't know what to do as I was so sweet to him then switched to moody in seconds (stormed out of a shop, putting everything I'd picked up back on the racks because OH moaned that he was bored ), getting in a strop in another shop because the assistant was useless and only brought me one size when I asked for 2 and she didn't do the normal thing of opening the boxes and removing the tissue paper from the toes for me! :rotfl: He didn't know what to do with me... so he bought me lunch!

I'd vote for still being in bed too. I had a moment this morning when the alarm went off... thinking - is it Friday? No.. may be Wednesday - what did I do last night? Oh yeah - D'Oh! Monday!! Not a great start.

Busy weekend meant not a lot of time to chill out, and now this cold Monday is here. Plus I am starting to feel AF make her presence felt. Headachy, tired and spotty. I should be due today or tomorrow, but if OV was slightly later (I changed the day after I had thought it was on CD12) I may be due on Wednesday. Probably not today, as normally pre-AF symptoms fade the day before or day of AF.

Hopefully not today as DH is home for once, and maybe a non BD BD would be nice!

What revolting weather!! Proper grey and rainy here!

Hope everybody had a good weekend, at least it was lovely and sunny here on Saturday.

Big ((hugs)) to everybody feeling stressed/down/obsessed about ttc.

I agree, QQ is amazing

MV - hope you are doing ok. Glad to hear you had a fun night with a few drinks but sorry to hear the next day wasn't so much fun

TeamLowe - hope the dining room project goes well. I'm a big fan of tempting fate so I hope that before you know it, you'll need to turn it into a nursery

Courgette - I know what you mean about getting obsessed. I am a shining example I still can't bring myself to admit that the month when I actually was a bit more relaxed was the month I got pregnant....! Hope you will pop back and tell us how you are getting on from time to time, wishing you a BFP and a forever baby very soon.

Angel, Claire16c, COMP and anybody else caught by the witch recently - huge big ((hugs)) and a massive bar of chocolate.

Trina - all this knitting chat has reminded me that a few months ago on here I started asking about knitting (I've never done it!) and lots of lovely ladies recommended books, websites etc. I feel inspired again to give it a go.. just added the book 'Knitty Gritty' to my Amazon wish list. It's mean to be amazing!

an9i77 - as Claire mentioned, why not try cheap ovulation tests which you can buy from Amazon? The digi ones are good (unambiguous result) but expensive.

Squirrel - happy holidays! Where are you going on the South coast? (I only ask because I live on the South coast and love it!!) Hope you have a really relaxing time, even if the weather's not amazing - I love wet and windy beach walks!

Birdie – it’s horrible getting stroppy around OV time isn’t it?! Just when you need to be seducing DH… I’m exactly the same!

LilyMay – how are you?

AFM – QQ could you put me back on the list as we are definitely trying again. Had my first ever positive OV test yesterday! It was a CB digi one and I got the smiley face It’s the first one I’ve done this cycle so I don’t know if it would have been the first or second positive test IYSWIM. Have had four days of EWCM so am feeling hopeful that I’ll ov today. Having been moody all day I chilled out later and managed to convince DH that a BD would be a good plan without telling him about the positive ov test (he doesn’t like the pressure of knowing). So… fingers crossed…

Can anybody enlighten me on OV pains? I had a kind of stabbing pain last night where I think my left ovary is and wondered if it might be ov but I’ve never noticed it before. Might be psychosomatically induced following the positive opk!! It only lasted for a few minutes really so might just be one of those random twinges.

TeamLowe

oh dear lord i have no idea what's going on with me. pretty sure i've Oved so we'll call it Oving on Saturday, QQ can you put me to 2DPO, sorry to mess you around

i've been trying to track my temperature a little to confirm Ov but it was 36.41 yesterday, which was on the low side for a pre-ov, so i thought 'oh, temp dip on ov day' so i got dh to do his duty, then this morning it was 36.31, which i have never ever seen! so my thermometer must be broke so i give up!

ladies are a little sore today so hopefully they're post-ov, although last night i had a sore lumpish things that was hard when i was lying on my side and i pressed down on it. hope that goes away, doesn't help my hypochondria lol luckily i know of a few people who have had breast lumps young and it's turned out fine so if it's still there after AF i'll go to the docs, as i've been told that you get lumps in 2ww anyways. but you can't feel it when i'm stood up so i'll look like a right numpty lol

ooooh and i had a lovely dream about getting a BFP although it was a digi and instead of saying '1-2 weeks' it said '1-2 Child Support'
my mind is a very strange place indeed x x
