Hello ladies ,

is it or isn't it?

first one reading at 5-6 min, second at 10 min

I would say YES YES YES!!!!
I had one like that yesterday and then did a digital one which came back with a beautiful smiley face

TrinityMom , so all we have to do now is have a fun (with our DHs of course).
It will be nice to have a testing buddy .

Hello ladies. Sorry I've been quiet today, my cystitis has kept me busy! I found some anti biotics I was prescribed in the summer for an attack of it so hopefully they will sort me out! Been drinking loads of water and weeing a lot so I'm not sure I'll get good enough urine to opk tonight. I'll BD anyway so it doesn't really matter.

How are we all doing?!

I am BORED at work. I really hate it. I'm such a miserable cow these days. I need a baby and a new focus in life.

I am becoming vice chairperson of a charity set up to help humanitarian aid to Ukraine though, hopefully that will keep me busy.

I'm so glad I won't be poas alone be warned, I have a box of 25 hpt's so I'm going to be a addict
DH is strutting around like a peacock for once the dinner, bath and bedtime with the boys is going smoothly with no grumpy dh

I, on the other hand am SEETHING! My oldest son ahs been at a lovely school since 2006. When it was time for my middle son to start Grade 1 in 2009, we assumed he would be accepted without a problem....apparently not! He was put on a waiting list and it was implied it was a matter of time. Now, 3 weeks before the end of the school year, we're told he's not in for 2011 because we don't live in the area! SUCH hypocrisy because I know of plenty of people not in the area who have gotten in for next year.
I feel like my poor son has been rejected I have written a scathing letter to the headmaster

(sorry for the rant! I know it's nothing to do with ttc but I had to get it off my chest)

Dinner tonight: lentil, mushroom, spinach and cottage cheese lasagne. YUM. What are you all having?

 

[x-ginge-x]

I'm having chicken breast done in butter with pasta

 

[kit_cat]

WOW!!!! I have not been on for maybe a day or so......boy can you ladies chat BIG time!!! I must check in more regularly!!

Molly....dying to know how the docs went
Holly.....how amazing that LO has taken to her tootsies...sooo cute as ever!
Sarachka....hope your undercarriage is a little better...only had cystitis once in my life and that was quite enough thank you!!
LittleSpy...hello :wave:, hope you and bubba are good!
emandi.....that's definitely a +OPK...nearly fainted when I saw it at first-thought it was a HPT
Trinitymom...bummer about the school, can you appeal or something?
x-ginge-x....sorry about the BFN, but while there is still no AF, there is still hope!!
newbie....loving your big chick! You seem to have enough eggys to go round...don't be greedy now
Crunchie.... *sigh* sorry they got things messed up at the docs....your patience must be wearing thin!
Moominmumma.....hello sweetie! not sure we've spoken before but I loved your story.....very amusing and also true. Women really are from Venus and men are from Mars (never read that book, maybe should?)

Phew.....hope I didn't miss anyone......I'm on a high today.....my early scan went well this morning! I hope all you lovelies join me, Essie and LittleSpy really soon.

Love and x

TrinityMom ,
sorry to hear about the school. So frustrating!
My DH just announced that he has to work tonight. Not so disappointed as we had a little practise in the morning.
Will have to update my ticker.

Ladies-

CRUNCHIE, you poor thing! I love bread too!! Evil creatures in those white coats! (HOLLYMONKEY- no white coat for you! ) My appointment isn't to start until you all are cozy in your beds, so you will have to wait until tomorrow morning to read all about it...assuming it happens. My OH informed me at 0400 that he was coming in around 1500... my appointment is at 1600. We are still going to try and make it but the roadways are horrible at that time. FX! SARACHKA, cystitis?! Ouch! Unfair! I hope that clears up soon for you. My goodness. Oh and speaking of interesting things they eat in South Africa HOLLYMONKEY, there is a dish that I LOVE called pap en sous. Oh yummy! Now I want some. TRINITYMOM... come over to make it for me?? Also HOLLYMONKEY, your OH sounds like mine, "So, you want to make a baby... baby?" Newbie- I love your hen! So fitting! EMANDI! Get to it!! KIT- I thought the same about Emandi's test... mistook it for HCG at first. I guess I am just so ready for us all to get the TRINITYMOM- That is rubbish about your son and his school! I hope your letter sets them straight. Well, I think I covered it all... hopefully. I'm in a bit of rush today... have so much to do!

 

[MoominMumma]

Good evening u lovely ladies! (or morning, or afternoon... whichever it is for u...as its 5pm here! lol!)

TrinityMom - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SMILEY FACE!! BRING ON THE MIGHTY O!

HollyMonkey - Bless your mum hehe! I think she has her cures a bit mixed up... natural yoghurt is the best thing for thrush but dont think it will do much for biddy bladder (it's what OH calls it lol)! And i like your DH's seduction technique...
And yes i heard about the royal wedding when i got in from work tonight! OMG wouldnt it be sooo funny if she pee'd on OPK's?! And even funnier if she joined the wonderful world of bnb!!

Kit_Cat - Hey hunnie! No we haven't spoken yet but i've been reading through the thread and have heard a lot about u! And let me say a BIG CONGRATS on the pregnancy!

Also i have a couple of questions but i will post them in a second as i dont wanna make this post too long

 

[MoominMumma]

Crunchie u do make me laugh!! I bet u would frame it! U would probably have it as your desktop pic on your pc!

Oh and i meant to ask u... any more symptoms?

 

[MoominMumma]

Right ladies.... i have 2 questions for u to get your heads round....

1. What is CBFM? I keep seeing it mentnioned and i have no idea what it is

and

2. I am going to have a go at temping this cycle as i have never done it before but would it matter if i start from tomorrow? (it will be CD3 tomorrow but not sure if u HAVE to start from CD1?) And it says that the best time to temp is in the morning before u get out of bed, but i usually get very warm in bed (coz i wrap up in the duvet like a glow worm ) so would that affect the temp reading in the morning or would it not matter?

Sorry for the questions but i had to get them off my chest!

The CBFM is the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor its basically an OPK but a machine where you pee once a day and it analyses for you so no positive or not guesswork....

and for temping, starting on day 4 should be fine, and no wrapping like a gloworm won't make a difference to you so long as you temp the same time every morning

Hello sweetie

Thanks so much for the congrats on the other post - you're so kind

I can help only with question 1 I'm afraid......

A CBFM is a Clear Blue Fertility Monitor which is a digital ovulation detector. It comes with special ovulation sticks which you literally plug in after you've pee'd on 'em and it tells you how fertile you are on the particular CD.

To be completely honest, I can't recommend it enough...it's the reason I'm pregnant right now - honestly!!

It's pricey but worth it if you can spare the cash in my humble opinion.

Good luck with the temping... it's a foreign land to me

emandi that is the prettiest thing i have seen in a while! (probably since the last time i O'd! )

BRING ON THE O!!!

and lots of

 

[emandi]

Hey Crunchie what did your CBFM give you today? Mine's just covering it's arse I think giving me highs, no signs of O at all, and way too early for me! Did I read swomewhere that you got your blood results back and all was Or did I dream it? In anycase great news if it wasn't a dream...

Hi Holly

I use my CBFM in the afternoon, so I will have to update you when I get home on my bar status .....sometimes I think it just gives me a peak becuase I had enough highs ...... the month I get preggers my CBFM told me I had a peak and the a cheapie OPK told me I was ovulating a week later. SOOOOOO I do both now as sometimes I think my crazy hormones are to weird for the CBFM. BUTTTTTT it does say you shouldnt use it if your cycles are longer that 42 so maybe its stoopid Crunchie and not stooopid CBFM

Molly - I hope your docs went better that mine I was sent for the wrong tests and need to go back on cycle day 21 to be tested for something or other but I was told although my BMI is healthy to lose 10 pounds

I am v annoyed, and she told me to cut out bread.....I LOVE BREAD ! how could she say this me .......

Oh Crunchie ,
I can't believe they did wrong tests!
I don't trust that NHS anymore. My FIL has cancer and is going to start chemo next week. Why? Because at the beginning docs misdiagnosed his condition. And later on even managed to loose his medical notes. Sad.
And why do you need to loose 10 pounds if your BMI is good?
You must be frustrated.
I would love to send you some of our delicious brownies my husband made to cheer you up. Forget silly 10 pounds.
