Dawn - so sorry hon, was really hoping it was your turn ((())). Is so hard to pick up each month after the disappointment but we're all here to give our support and encouragement. Thanks for the advice about OPK's - I read through Selwyn's post and replies too, and will try to bear it in mind, although tbh guys, am rubbish at these things that need doing at a certain time (ie certain time after wees lol)...am lucky if I remember to po(thedamn)stick
.Think you must all be right though - I have still got EWCM and in spite of monster cold (s/o please switch my head off until it's better) we DTD this morning before ds came in with his own monster cold. Yey. Reckon I'll do an OV stick later and see if I can muster the interest for another deed-day tomorrow/tonight.
Sandrad - that would be so so so very cool. CONGRATULATIONS on your 25th anniversary
and clouds of 
for a most fortuitous conception!TC all - am off to nurse my head with DRUGS lol. XXX

well ladies not my time again that bloody witch got me yesterday bang on cue so feel like shít today with bloated tum and cramps
oh well seeing the consultant on wed so will get the results of all the tests we have hadsteenie families hey you cant pick them, you really are having a rough time with them lately, hope it all settles down soon
selwyn well done for doing the deed with a snotty nose and its only cd 12 im sure you will ov any day, if they atre the ebay tests mine suddenly go from really faint to really dark in a day and i always keep them to compare with previous days as they arnt like pg tests and get evap lines, also try and not have a lot to drink and hold your wee for a few hrs before if you can as it weak wee can make the test faint. and big (((((hugs))))) from me too your very brave
sandrad 25 years that is such an acchievement in this day, my parents have been married for 41 years now which is also quite rare. so if you did get pg on your anniversary will you be giving bubs a name to go with the conception time? if id of conceived when we went away to venice i said i was gonna call it venice!!!
rose so glad your progressing well, when is due date? keep popping on here letting us know
sheez another snotty lady hope you cant get cyber germs lol im surprised im not ill all the time working in a gp surgery, i suppose you build up a resistence, cant remember the last time i had a cold (she says as she gets 1 now!) dd has 1 so ill prob catch hers now, im having a flu jab next week so i never get the flu either. They should bring out man flu jabs just for men!!
sleepy my old mate your prob at most fertile once the ewcm stops but keep up the jiggy as before ov is the best time, also read what i suggested to selwyn about testing.
will update in a bit better get tea started!!!
9/10/08 13:34
steenie - your family sound bonkers. I don't really do shouting - bad karma! Hope you can avoid them!!!!!
sandrad - 25 years - blimey! DP and I have been together for 4 years in May!!!! - nearly my record haha!
Well managed the deed despite a rotten cold - nearly suffocated in the act but there you go! Opks still neg on CD12 and I'm getting a wee bit nervous - don't I ov any more? ( can actually see a wee faint line so all is maybe not lost) must remain calm..........................Sleepy - what have you got on yours - anything? Its quite frustrating isn't it?
How are you all? Hope the colds are going!

Hi all - well its my 25th wedding anniversary today - can't believe I've been married 25 years it really feels like I blinked and missed it! Quite by chance "All that she wants is another baby" played on the radio in the car earlier and dh looked at me and said "I'm gonna get you pregnant tonight" when I conceived ds2, 3 and dd we always heard that song - very random lol! What an anniversary present though and if it happened what a tale to tell at our golden wedding - lol!!
Dawn nearly your time - fingers crossed hunny!
Luck and baby dust to you all
xx

Thanks for the hugs ladies - its a big help - my day is proving to be Ok so can't complain!
I recon you've not ov'd yet Sleepy - is EWCM not a sign of ov to come? Have you a faint line there? Mine is so faint you have to squint at it ( and I may be imagining it!!) - but when I got a pos ( when bean was c'd) it went from nothing to faint to same as the control line over a few days. As you say - sometimes its best to do eve ones as well but I didn't that month. I may start if nothing shows up soon. Now worried that I'm not ov after last month but just panicing I think. A mmc shouldn't effect ov should it? Argh!
My chart on babycentre says I'm fertile towards the end of this week - and thats a 29 day cycle - aren't you about the same sleepy?
8/10/08 13:47
I'm still snuffling.... don't envy you Sleepy with 3 year old bouncing round when you have a cold - make sure DP does his bit when he gets in!!
Re OPKs I know nothing but I read lots of threads and it sounds like you ov at the end of ewcm so you prob haven't yet, so keep testing and keep doing the biz when you can - we use CBeeBies or DVDs when desperate for privacy .. but it has to be a quickie
Time for more lemsip & daytime TV -
just trying to wind you up Sleepy!!! x8/10/08 10:50
Rose, great to hear things are going well although I know it's tough and exhausting the first trimester, especially with a lo to run after ((())).
We are a bunch of snuffles aren't we lol....hugs to all of us (even you Sheez with your sick leave - pah
)...ds is off with me today as well, and you know how good 3yr olds are at catching the snot - I feel like I'm damp most of the time. Lots of cbeebies methinks lol - and some painting maybe.Selwyn (((()))) don't give yourself a hard time hon, completely normal. I feel exactly the same - I keep fast-forwarding and thinking that ds will be much older than we'd planned etc - but it'll still be wonderful. My lost bean would probably have been with us now - weird thought...there are some things we just can't get our heads round and I think you're right, when we can we'll concentrate on the whole ttc business - but we're always here for you hon, whenever those blues hit. (((((())))))
Right then - ttc and OPK's. I now have EWCM but still no positive on the OV sticks?? I did one last night and one this morning cos I've read that it's possible to miss the surge. Hmmmm. Not that ds is making DTD possible anyway - he was in with us last night poor wee thing was so sad and snotty. Should I take it that I haven't OV'd yet? That the EWCM is a sign that OV is still to come?
Dawn - how goes it hon? Keep hoping

8/10/08 09:46
Oh Rose, glad all's well, shame you are so tired... I have 2 pals who had DS and then were very tired with 2nd pg and they both had twin girls ..... tee hee just a thought!!
Hugs Selwyn, I'm not surprised you get down every now and then, you would be odd if you didn't after your loss, hope your cold goes quickly so you are ready for action again!
I gave in.. Sleepy will be so jealous, I've taken a sick day as my nose is pouring, I'm coughing and have a headache, didn't think I'd get any work done, so packed DS off to nursery and am taking it easy today so I can go back tomorrow.. I feel guilty but I'd only snot all over my colleagues!!
Dawn, howz you, busy or just quiet?
Sandrad and Steenie are quiet too... but with a BFP nearly every month, it could be anyone soon .... 'cept me
Time for another lemsip,
x8/10/08 09:21
Glad all is well rose. Keep at it - its a slog in the first trimester eh?
Well I've got a cold too. No jig last night as I crashed out before DP came to bed - oops. Ah well only CD12 so not too worried - need to get my act together though!!!
Hope all the other colds out there are getting better. I'm having a down day today - just wishing mmc had never happened but no point in wishing is there? Gotta get on with trying again - its the only way. Just feel time is rolling along so quickly and DD changing so much. I'd really hoped she'd have a sibling by now. Hey ho.
Onwards and upwards - got a busy day today - hoping it'll take my mind off it.
to all!7/10/08 22:59
Hi ladies. I hope you are alldoing well and ive noticed on the BFP list there is a few more. Good luck to those still waiting and fingers crossed for those who are still TTC,
Ive not been around for a bit i think this pg is def taking its toll and im only about 8 weeks and with DS being a total tearaway things have been getting me down. Im so tired and omg intergestion and heartburn but i dont really care as long as bud is going to be okay.

7/10/08 18:55
Get to it Selwyn, butter DP up tonight and pounce!!! ..and keep at it Sleepy, if you have the energy!
I too have a stinking cold - WAAAAATCHOOOOO! Feeling very sorry for myself, if feel this way tomorrow will take a day off and send DS to nursery, I sympathise Sleepy as there is no way I'd like bouncy full of energy DS when I have stinking cold and a sore leg .. what an old crock I am today.. least it's about CD17 and prob too late for any action as I just can't face it - hot bath & bed for me at 10pm. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Have a good evening
x7/10/08 09:43
Poor you sleepy - another cold.
We've got our heating on too ( a few hours in morn and eve)- boiler broke last year at this time and we had to fork out for a new one just before Crimbo - argh! This year it might be a car! Jings.
Anyhoo - no pos yesterday but just as well as DP annoyed me so went for an early night! CD11 today so I'll have to get back on the job. Want to sleep with my hot water bottle and a good book instead..............................
Fingers crossed for you Dawn - here's hoping hun!
7/10/08 08:23
Ooh Dawn, hope so hon
....let us know how you're getting on!Sheez - arrrgh, we've hardly got the heating on yet, but that precious hour before getting up is a blessing, hope it's sorted quickly, I feel for your cold tootsies.
Selwyn - OUCH. Ooh that hurts, life can be a real b$tch. Have still got hammer and can lay my hands on a pneumatic drill (if I mug a roadworker lol)...would that help?
Well we did the deed this morning even though am full of cold. Didn't do OPK yesterday so panicking that I could miss it, so just in case (NOT how I persuaded dh lol!).
Have another worst thing about being a SAHM (I know there are lots of + things but I just need a whinge
).....being ill but not getting sick leave. Have told dh that next time he's poorly am gonna set him to work at home . Oh yes, there is some resentment...well or just sorry-for-self-ness.Right gotta run...keep those BFP's coming. XXX
6/10/08 19:09
oo dawn - no idea, but let's hope so...it's happened to a couple of girls from other threads, but not many.. but it could be you
xbolier won't be fixed till wednesday, but i can fiddle with the k***s
and get it working for a few hours, so ok cept it'll be cold in the morning when i have to get up and crank it up double brrrrrrr!i was wondering if my body just doesn't want to get pg as i had an emergency scetion and lost loads of blood and was in special ward under obs for 12 hours... can't say i blame my bod for not wanting to go through that trauma again.
well this deffo is the last month .. ha ha 3rd month on the trot i've said that!!
luv &

Right. I did the OV stick a bit earlier and there is a test line - a teeeeeeny bit fainter than the reference line. Does this mean I need to wait still? According to the instructions the LH surge only shows when the 2 lines are the same or the test one is darker. Hmmmmm.
Might have to jump dh tomorrow anyway. He'll be giddy with the number of jigs this week, especially as I have a cold and he KNOWS I don't fancy it then lol!
Isn't it odd sharing our stories of weeing on sticks - tickles me every time
. Not the stick of course. Now that really would be odd. Or nice. Depends
