hey ladies sorry havent been on for a while its been busy trying to get time to get on pc or lap top....my pc and laptop both crashed last week and just avoided going on it finally phoned BT on Monday and he put some super cleaner thing on my pc and it wiped all if not most of the viruses off it. Its brill.....
Anyway today is CD13 and due on 7th November last 2 months I have had a 31 day cycle so if its 28 days should be 7th if not will be the 10th November well dh has been up early most of this week and fallen asleep by time I get to bed
but he is def getting it 2m lol whether he likes it or not! Done an opk test thing today and it was positive so he's in the bad books for falling asleep!Never mind if I grab the opportunity 2m who knows......
On the in law saga fil emailed me today asking if he could take Thomas to the garden centre after his bday as its Santa's grotto I said to him I wasnt going thru this everytime my sister in law and bil's gf played their silly wee mind games so I will let bygones be bygones with him and mi but not for those 2 they can sweat lol!
Feel much better tho for not speaking to them its been 8 weeks and I have had no stress so might be a good time for me to conceive you never know....anyway girlies good luck for this month and a July BFP......or October BFP July Beanie.....xxxx

love and hugs babydust and luck to one and all

Oh Sandrad - so sorry hon, it really is a b*gger when the symptoms lead us down the wrong path ((())).
Hiya Selwyn - tbh I haven't had time to give it much thought which is a blessing I suppose - we've had loads on and then on top of that, ds got a tummy bug from a friend's b'day party - and now dh has got it too...feel as though am just waiting for my turn, and am sooooo tired of doing washing lol. At least ds is fine now and back on lovely form, yey.
Will let you know hon, but thinking about it now, I haven't had any symptoms and if anything I'd guess af was on her way for me too - just remember it isn't over til the old witch hollers. Fingers crossed.
HUGS all round. TC XXXXX

Damn that af sandrad! so sorry to hear that hun - the months where you feel pgy are the worst I think.
Any news sleepy? Are you getting any symptoms this month? I feel af on the way so it won't be a surprise for me at all. sad though. Could do with some good news!
Hope you are all well - keep positive girls - we're having a bad run at the mo!
21/10/08 21:27
gutted - tested this pm bfn - af due tomorrow - so I'm sure she'll arrive on time - no signs yet though. Really thought this was my month felt/feel so pregnant oh well think its nearly time for this old girl to leave the building .
love and hugs baby dust and luck to you all.

Bonkers busy at work at the mo - at least it keeps me out of trouble.
No sign of af yet but not expected until Fri / Sat. How are you feeling Sleepy? Any af/bfp signs? Will you test or wait and see? I'm not going to ( think I know the answer anyway
) its too depressing to see that one line! I'll be gutted - and will have to beat DP with a stick for failing me!!!! How's everyone else out there?
21/10/08 16:17
Bump. Hope everyone is ok? TC (((()))) X

Oh Selwyn hon, am so so sorry things are so bumpy right now ((((())))). I really hope your dad's stroke doesn't leave him significantly suffering hon and that he makes a speedy and full recovery - there's no warning with strokes and yet they can be so devastating. Am thinking of you and your family hon.
As for the business, oh crikey, no wonder you're feeling stressed and anxious - I hope that the banks being encouraged to take a supportive approach of those struggling in these strained financial times can help save your dh's business. Such worrying times. Hang tight and hopefully you guys can ride this one out.
As you say, our children are blessings and thank god we have them. I know a bfp isn't perhaps your most pressing demand now, but I am wishing one for you anyway hon.
We're just getting by today. Dom woke up in the night with vomiting so have been nursing him all night. He has stopped being sick poor thing, but now has a fever. At least he can keep water down now and has even managed a dry cracker. Have done 4 loads of washing so far and have a couple more to get through! They look so frail when they're poorly - lots of cuddles and love time.
TC all. Sandrad - when do you think you would test hon? Argh, it's hard waiting.

Oh Selwyn - here's a huge hug coming your way - life really does seem to deal us a bad hand all at once! I hope your dad is feeling better soon and dh manages to ride the hard times. Our children really are a blessing!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
love and hugs

sandrad - a very belated happy birthday hun!
Dawn - so sorry to hear your news - it must be a blow but there is maybe some comfort in finding a reason for the length of time ttc has taken. Is it worth DP taking zinc?
Well I'm on cd 24 and af due Friday -ish. I'm going through the worst year ever - my dad had a mini-stroke on wed and now DPs new business is suffering and I'm scared stiff that if it fails there would be debts to meet - home at risk etc. Jeeze can life get any worse? Thank god for DD - she's the only positive juyt now. I'm a nervous wreck!!
Needless to say I'd be amazed if I got a bfp after all the stress and bad luck. Still hoping though.
Got to go see about putting the house in my name alone now...............................

Happy Birthday Sandrad - hope you've had a lovely day hon.
Sorry I haven't been around much - between trying to fit in printmaking and household stuff, ds has also been struggling a LOT with being 3. This is proving to be a hard time for all of us at the moment, my poppet is getting those boundaries and pushing them to the very edge. I would laugh but it's been exhausting and draining and then at the end of a very long day (emotionally lol) he looks so devastated in himself that my heart melts. I keep thinking we're through it all but then a new frontier looms large
. Hey ho. Maybe we should stick with one eh?!!Dawn hon (((()))), I know you must have felt a bit gutted but as Sandrad says, it needn't mean spell no pgy, indeed if anything it may just help explain how long it's taking, but keep your faith hon, I am keeping everything crossed for everyone on here
.Am NOT symptom watching. I won't I won't I won't. Kick me if you catch me at it. Snadrad - ooooooh, hope so hon!!!

your way honey - glad you're feeling a little better.x

happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy 44th birthday sandrad!!!
thanks for what you sais about BIL and him having 2 more kids with a low sperm count, we are still gonna try for a little while and then i think it will be in the hand of the gods as we will just get back to enjoying sex when we feel like it rather than when we should be doing it, i wont bother with temping or ov tests and once the monitor has gone back when ive finished the trial it will be just going with the flow i think. It will be so hard after all these months of trying
well its all very quiet on here at the mo hope your all ok and have had a nice weekend

Hi all just wanted to pop in and say hello, hope everyone is having a nice weekend?

Just a bump. Hope all okay with everyone - I'm still on the 2ww and its doing my head in - hope I can resist the urge to test before next Wednesday - will have to keep myself busy. Fear I'm heading for heart break because I think sub consciously I think I am pregnant - normally I can keep a handle on it but this month its different - maybe cause I'm sure this will be out last month of trying. Its my birthday tomorrow and I'll be 44 - 44 used to be so old but not now lol. Anyway ramble over.
Hope you and your dp ok Dawn - more hugs coming your way.

dawn a huge hug coming your way and for your df too! if its any consalation my bil had a vasectomy reversal and as a result his sperm count was low - lower than your df - and he managed to have 2 more children - so don't lose faith just yet - like you say it only takes one! fingers crossed for your next 3 cycles - perhaps do it like rabbits for a month (everyday if you can
) and see how it goes. take care honey.*** alt="" src="http://my.bounty.com/smiley/msn/goodluck.gif" />xx

hi ladies selwyn that bahamas holiday sounds fab im with sleepy drrrreeeam dream dream.
sandrad fingers crossed for you hun and lots of
well ladies im feeling really sad
we went to the hospital yesterday for our test results and DF has a low sperm count. So i really think ill only be around for a couple more months and then ill probably leave ttc for good as im not sure it will ever happen. i know it only takes 1 sperm and the normal count in a sample is 20 million or more and he is only producing 2 million. its hard to believe that as you only need 1 sperm and your producing that many in one go that you would fall pg no problem. Ive got the use of the clearblue monitor for another 3 cycles so ill carry on till thats finished and then i might throw in my hat15/10/08 18:11
Hey ladies. just popped in to give you all babydust. hope it helps.
Tracey - i sent you pm. hope you got it.
Morning!
CD 27 today and feel like a washed out rag - had to fight for the duvet all night - DP hogs it!! AF symptoms coming thick and fast but can't help being hopeful. Tried to prepare myself for af and had a wee cry about it so just wanna get it over with now.
Hideous weather today - makes you want to stay in bed.
Seems we are dwindling in numbers ladies - wish it was for the right reasons. Hope you are all OK and keep our thread going - its been a huge help to me of late.
Fingers crossed sleepy!
