Thinking of you tink xx

Morning girls.

Hugs for CD1 toothfairy

Tink - have you got some CB Digi OPK's ready for this month to help you track things? I am picking mine up today, so at least I'll hopefully have a bit more of an idea what is going on this month. Hugs for a tough day today. Onwards and upwards hon x

Code - I'm so with you. I really wish the preggo bird at work would stop sashaying past my desk caressing her growing bump too..grrr.

Hugs to the long cycle girls too. It's so frustrating not being in control of what your body is doing. I am so rubbish at waiting

AFM - Think I am CD20 today, no clue if/when I ov'd. Fertility Friend keeps extending my fertile period based on my EWCM, but to be honest I don't even know if I am using it properly (too impatient to even read the tutorial!)

Morning Girls
Hugs for a tough day tinks

I had a colleague confide in me a couple of weeks ago that she had just found out she is pregnant, nobody else at work knows and she now feels the need to come and find me every morning to tell me something about being pregnant. I am doing well making encouraging noises but I just want to scream find someone else to moan to about your morning sickness and your sore boobs!

Metranil_Vavin

Oh rum that is so rough.

Is she close enough for you to tell her that you are ttc? It might stop her from banging on and on at you.

Hugs x

Welcome Abailey to the [STRIKE]madhouse [/STRIKE]boards. Hope you stay here is short and sweet

Teamlowe - I think stretch is the key to determining EWCM rather than colour? I'm a bit jel if you are having it already tho. The last 2-3 months I haven't had any to speak of Am thinking this is maybe my problem, as I know I had it when I conceived last time. Might have to start taking cough syrup next month as well as preseed just to see what happens...

NoAngel - hope you are feeling better now after yr op. If you are just starting out TTC I wouldn't do anything to do with ovulation sticks, temping etc yet. I'd just get jiggy with it when you feel like it without contraception and see what happens. TTC can be stressful once you have been doing it a while and not getting any results from it, so its best to be as chilled out as possible when you start the journey. A lot of people find themselves pregnant in the first month or 2 anyways - good luck :cool:

Amyloofoo - eeek for the assignements and extra shifts. Hope you manage to squeeze in a quickie or 2 tho with DH :cool:

Becca - feeling yr pain. Still no sign of AF and another BFN this morning. Am testing every other day just to see if a +ve pops up, lol! No idea when we BD'd after the period where I thought I was ov'ing tho so am probably out the running. >sigh< I've never heard of anyone missing a period before. From what I read of anovulatory cycles you would still get an AF even if it was lighter than usual. I think the answer must be that I ov'd later - but no idea when or why that happened?! Have stopped knicker watch to some degree - so no doubt AF will arrive at a most inconvenient moment when I am not expecting it in the slightest!!!

Rumfeeble - sorry no advice on the CBFM as haven't used one before. Let us know how you get on with it tho as I am considering getting one.

Code - fingers crossed for a BFP this month so you can get your own bump

Tinks - I counted CD1 from the day after my ERPC, as I think you are meant to count it from when the HCG has left your system rather than the first day of bleeding. The first few cycles after are all a bit messed up anyways I love that saying btw Very hugest hugs for your scan day It sucks so much sometimes. Lots of love your way xxx

Toothfairy - Hugs for CD1. Hope is a nasty thing sometimes - I get it every month

Lemon - How you doing huni? I dreamt about 'you' last night, lol! Someone called lemon in my dream anyways and I don't know any other lemonmelon's :rotfl:

MV - The FF tutorial is a little dull, I skipped most of it It combines all info you put in of temps, CM and OPKs and uses all of them to determine ov date. If you aren't temping, then its only got 2 to go at and is guessing more. It also tends to build up a pattern over a couple or 3 months, so the first month is a bit harder. I was soooooo giddy when it put my crosshairs on for the first time to say I had actually ov'd I think we're all in the same boat as being rubbish at waiting tho.

AFM - Feeling lots better today :j All bugs are gone from the household now I think :j Did the craft fair yesterday even tho I was still feeling a bit rubbish. I made £30, so not brill but there wasn't much through traffic which was the main problem. Still its £30 I wouldn't have made sat at home, and I also got an order from posting a piccie of my stall on FB and someone said they wanted to order something but didn't have any money with them - so hopefully potential for a few more sales. I think I maybe would have been better if I was feeling better tho, cos I wasn't so good at chatting to browsing customers as I norally would have been. I took my sewing with me, so made some things whilst I was there too, which was a really good plan. The things I was making was the things I sold most of, which might be a co-incidence or not?! Looking forward to the next ones now - I have a weeks break before I start with it again

Thanks MV

She already knows we are ttc, she doesnt know we have been having fertility issues as I have just sort of implied we are ntnp. She thinks its cool we have this little 'secret' between us. She is only 19 and fell accidentally and has no idea how mean the big bad world can be..... oh how nice would it be to have such innocence again. I have advised her to join a less than 12 weeks pregnant forum so she can get some support from ladies in the same boat as I 'clearly' have no idea how she must feel.

Ladies that use the cbfm, where is best to get the test sticks from?
[/QUOTE]

I get them from Amazon aswell.

Abis don't be too jealous- i had it last month and didn't ovulate, that's why i'm panicking! i have a teeeny tiiiiny amount this morning when i wipe - ie not enough to stretch so hopefully it'll build up.
course my temperature is super low today so i am concerned that i've ovulated when we've not BDed in a week, at the same time as being concerned that i won't ovulate at all :rotfl:

my car MAY be fixed tonight- they've got one more thing to try which should hopefully work. if not then i'm just going to have to wait til pay day then throw money at the problem. sick to my eye teeth of it. whatever eye teeth are

rumfeeble big hugs, hopefully once she's past twelve weeks and can tell everyone she'll have more people to talk to so talk to you less

I have a pack of OPKs on my bathroom radiator, keep meaning to take one just to see if i get a line (my LH test showed my levels as being normal so hopefully will) if i do it after work, so about six (or seven tonight as i'm staying late), would that be too late if there is a surge to detect?

Oh also! the pharmacist has changed their brand of metformin! really annoying cos the old pack used to have it in rows of three which was perfect for me to keep track of, now they're in rows of two and i'm guna get all befuddled!
hopefully it's a better brand, i'm convinced the one sainsburys has is useless as i was taking that when my cycle went weird before the first gynae visit x x
