Trying for a Baby Part 9

faithhope

Code - you made me lol with your hair. Hope you can get it sorted soon.

Tinkwings and T2D - I love your craftmaking. I'm rubbish at things like that and can't cook or bake either. Hmm should really try to get a bit better at it.

Becca - I'm also waiting for ov to show and on same CD. Of course I'm thinking it must be the cheapie OPKs to blame and not my body :cool: Last month I got ewcm at CD18 but I'd counted from spotting, not full flow so lost track of what day it actually was. I'd love to be pregnant this cycle but if not I've got CBFM trial so hopefully would have a better track on things.

Have decided I need to keep going with weight loss esp as I'd put a few pounds back on. I've got a wedding to go to in August so that should give me time to lose a bit.

Hugs to those who need them xx

Hi all. Sorry for not having been on here much. Not sure if I ov'd this cycle, too many conflicting signs. Had blood tests one again though this cycle and get the results this week so guess I'll have a better idea then!

Good luck to everyone on the CBFMM trial, hope it works it's magic for you all.

T2d I LOVE that house. I do cross stitch but am really faddy about being interested or not. You've inspired to re open my sewing box.

Here is where I got the house from if you are interested.
http://www.3dcrossstitch.co.uk/ I'm doing a little 3d Christmas tree too (although I couldn't see that on the site in the two seconds I just looked at it!).

It's really fun, and a small, albeit fiddly, project. It's nice that you have to use different skills, not just x stitching, but also using the beads, putting it all together etc.

The house took a solid weekend to stitch, then another day or so to assemble, as it's quite fiddly to get all the pieces together. The quilt took a few months on and off. I started when I was in hospital, and abandoned it for a while, but finished it over the weekend. It's quicker than normal x stitch as the pattern is printed on the fabric. It has to be as there are no marked holes. I'm going to add a satin trim once it's all complete to make it slightly more colourful.

Not the first time I've tangoed my hair so spent most of yesterday with blue toners and silver shampoo and ended up with something I could live with until I could bleach again. Sadly DH refused to look at me because "you look like my mum and it's weird" so I dyed it a kind of honey blonde colour. It's still a little more ginger than I'd like and nobody has commented which is never a good sign but it's ok. Can't do anymore as my scalp is not happy with me.

Back at work for the first time since we got the furbaby. I'm a horrible fur mummy cause I had to leave him. I ended up leaving 10 minutes before I needed to cause I was getting so upset. Going to be a total nightmare when we have actual babies and I need to leave them in daycare.

Hugs for the unsure of ov ladies. We really do need to be fitted with some kind of indicator light - red when not oving, amber when by gearing up and green when we need to dtd. Then white and maybe a small alarm when the egg has released.

Totally jealous of all the sewing ladies. I'm mildly dyspraxic so find sewing really hard. I can do basic knitting and crocheting with a LOT of concentration and I'm left handed to boot so I haven't ever mastered scissors and cutting in a straight line.

Phew no stick needed on the monitor this morning it says it won't ask til day 6.

If I get a high on day 8 ill be laughing my head off. But I think you have much more normal cycles than me mrs TM so I guess it could be possible for you to have a high now if you ovulate around day 14??

Was just about to reply to your first message with this!

Are you filling in a line on the diary on everyday? Or just waiting till the days it asks you fill in?
Need to have a proper look again when I get home tonight!

I used to do a lot of cross stitch. Love the blanket, might have to do something like that if I ever manage to get pg!
t2d how did you get the design onto it?

Hi ladies

Samtoby - I'm so sorry to hear your sad news about your Grandad - having just been through that myself in the last few weeks, I do understand so if I can help at all or you just want an "anonymous" ear to cry on, feel free to ping me an PM.

Currently on CD9 and started testing yesterday with the CBFM - on low but expect to get some highs in a few days...maybe this will be our month finally.

Feeling slightly better at work today - have been speaking with our HR person and she thinks the boss is being "unreasonable" too - given that I'm always here come rain or shine or snow (when I don my snow boots and walk to the office when everybody else skives from home), don't take time off sick, start early, always follow him to London when he's there, etc. She's suggested I keep a record of all the little extras I do like early starts, late finishes, personal errands like his banking, getting his cars insured, serviced, MOT'd and cleaned, etc...never remembers those does he!!!

Was thinking about the lovely ladies on here that have now got their CBFM from the trials - really hope they help you on this stressful journey and I'm keeping everything crossed that we get some BFP's soon.

Love Gelly

To have to fill in the pregnancy test thing on day 1, and then both the monitor reading & intercourse diaries every day. You don't need to fill in the pregnancy one again until the end of the cycle if you decide to do a test.

It only takes 2 mins though as one column is the date (so I wrote that out for the entire cycle this morning), and then colour in a box, write the time, write a number etc

You buy it like that! I'm not that clever. Cross Stitch is, in a way, profoundly uncreative. You are following a pattern.

Ah, right see what you mean! feeling a little bit thick today!:o
Left my car keys in the ignition when I got to work, and didn't realise until I went to go out at lunch! ooops! luckily I'm in a our office car park and no one had nicked it!(don't think that would have gone down well with my boss or fleet dpt)

Thanks t2d, they look fab! I thought you might have had to transfer the design onto a quilt you'd already got.

Grr. Ewcm. Now I need to establish if this is proper ewcm and I haven't ovd or if it's the random ewcm I get around a week after ov.
