Hi Bongley and Fairybabe !

 

[JJay]

arrived so back to CD1 oh well at least it's a fresh new cycle full of hope I'll be testing 25th June when I'm in South Africa watching the World Cup.

Maxxi, good to be cycle buddies with you though! As Parkgirl says at least we won't be headed to hospital in a snow storm MommyinWaiting looks like you're around the same time too, let's hope June is our month!

LuckyD, thanks for the soft cups link - I'm not too sure, I think I'd be a bit panicked about getting them back out again. If anyone tries them let me know...

Welcome Fairybabe and Bongley

'A fresh new cycle of hope', I like it. Can I use it?

Well, I am worried about being the size of a house in the swealtering heat! I'm in Sydney and dec-feb is summer. I don't know if we will be able to buy air conditioning (just bought our first place and very skint). Still, we have a pool as part of our apartment complex, I can imagine floating around like a whale for the last month or two. Scaring off the neighbors.

My temps have dipped slightly (DPO 8) but still high. Still, they tend to only drop significantly on first day of af. (DPO 10) So not much warning of the witch!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Just popped on to say hello & bye temporarily for a few days... of for a romantic weekend in Paris with DH and in the middle of packing. Hopefully will distract me from tuesday when I

Speak soon xx

 

[JJay]

oooooooo lucky you Waiting4Baby! Have BIG fun x

 

[LuckyD]

It is lighter than normal and I had no warning that it was coming. I still think it has to be AF so for now today is CD 1 for me! Next month will hopefully be mine.

Sorry your body is being confusing! Keep us up to date...my fingers are crossed for you for - and if it is AF, fingers crossed for next month!

Oh, sorry JJay stupid AF! Hope you are doing ok. I will add your date for June - that's pretty exciting that you will be in South Africa!

My softcups haven't arrived yet but I will let you know how it goes...the other ladies swear that they are easy to get out, so I am trusting them...hope they're right!

Woo hoo, another Antipodean! I am in New Zealand. Yeah, Sydney summers and being 9 months pregnant with no air-conditioning could be hard work! Hope those temps stay up!

Wow, lucky you! How exciting!!! I lived in London for a year and loved how you can just pop off to France for the weekend - I am very jealous! Have a great time xx


Well, I am feeling BORED! Just waiting to O....CD10 tomorrow, so at least things are getting closer...I am going to start using my OPKs from CD12, which happens to be my first day of work at my new job...am going to have to perfect my casual sneak off to the bathroom to do my testing....it will be interesting!

 

[Fairybabe]

Sorry the witch got you JJ. Hopefully you'll have a fab time in South Africa! When do you go? Apparently there is a tendency for people to get pregnant on holiday as both man and woman are more relaxed! FX'd it works for you!

Bongley and Lucky, well, if i am lucky this cycle, it will be trying to waddle on ice for me! FF says that if i conceive this cycle it's a 13th Feb baby! (Aw! Almost a valentine's baby!).

Waiting, have fun in Paris! And good luck with the test!

As for me, am slowly entering the crazy phase.... too early to test, but far enough in to start to symptom spot! Great. And this is only my first month of TTC. Symptoms all the same as last month's pmt so far. Apart from the gas! But who knows, could just be something i've eaten!

When's the earliest people start testing????

Cheerio

Hey Ladies

Hope you're all doing well.

My faithful AF got me this morning so I'm out for May. Please could you put me down for testing on Thursday 24th June?

Got my ICSI specialist appointment on Tuesday! Can't wait to get the ball rolling!

Love to you all.

I'm glad to be cycle buddies with you too! I hope this is our month. I have no idea when I'll be testing next since this cycle was 21 days and last cycle was 26. I'll come up with a date once I ovulate. to you!

Thanks. I'm still bleeding but this was definitely a shorter, lighter cycle. I'm going to think positively about June. I hope you O this weekend so you can start your countdown!

 

[JJay]

Fairybabe, I'm in SA 21st June to 1st July watching England's last group game and 1st knock out game. I won't Ov when I'm there but Fxed we get a SA test baby!!

Thanks for all the hugs - I feel all warm & cozy

LuckyD - Thanks for the info, I'll wait and see how you get on with the
cups...

Maxxi how come your cycles are so varied, have you just come off BCP?

Going back to enjoy my wine now and the million £ drop

Night all xx

Ah, welcome to the crazy-making two week wait. The first month we were TTC, I was SURE I was pregnant! Then heartbroken when I wasn't. I think your attitude is way better! Hope that this is your first and last 2ww! I am going to hold out until testing til at least 14dpo this month. But some people test a lot earlier - and I have seen quite a few people here get their BFPs as early as CD10. I just don't like seeing BFNs, so now I try and wait..but totally depends on the person. Good luck!

Oh, so sorry Springflower you ok? I will add your testing date for June. Good luck for the appointment on Tuesday - really hope it goes well!

Thanks. I'm still bleeding but this was definitely a shorter, lighter cycle. I'm going to think positively about June. I hope you O this weekend so you can start your countdown!

Thinking positively about June is a great plan - that's what I am doing too! Did you want me to add a testing date for you?

I am not expecting to O for a while yet....probably not for another week, so that's one more boring week to go!

 

[parkgirl]

I also have a feeling June is going to be a great month for us. all around.

 

[Bongley]

D'oh, I'm out! AF arrived today, I'll wait until I ovulate before I put down a testing date so I'll see you all in about two and a half weeks. That witch is so damn punctual after O.

take care everyone, see you in June!

Oh, so sorry Bongley hope you are doing ok. Grrrrr to stupid AF!! Good luck for next month - as I said above, June is going to be the month for BFPs!

How is everyone doing? I have had a nice weekend, been out to dinner, showing people around the piece of land we just bought, and am about to make apple and berry crumble for dessert - yum!

First day of work at my new job tomorrow - looking forward to it!

Morning all.
hope everyone is doing ok. I am find this 2ww a nightmare so have gone away with my DD for a few days, hopefully time will past quickly!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

ooh, apple berry crumble! I was actually thinking about making something similar! Just need to find a recipe and get to the store! There's a cooking show I like to watch that had an apple cranberry crisp that looked just so amazing, and aside from preping all the ingredients, looked pretty simple!

So sorry the stupid witch arrived, Bongley!

And that sounds like a good plan, Giggles. I think taking little weekend trips really helps me deal.


all around for June!!!!!!! Only a couple days away from the BFP explosion!!!

I hate the tww. hope it passes quickly.

 

[Fairybabe]

Sorry the witch got you Springflower and Bongley.

Lucky D, good luck in the new job!

Maxxiandniko, if your cycles don't settle, have you thought of acupuncture to help get you back on track? I find it's helpful.

As for me. 7DPO, and lots of confusing symptoms. But most the same as last month when we weren't trying. Just want to know now!! I guess i should wait until day 10DPO at the earliest, as FF says my AF is due then. I suppose that way i'll know whetehr to even bother, as if my temps stay up, then i should test, and if it starts dipping, then there's no point in wasting a stick. Patience is not my strong point!

Loving the PMA Parkgirl!

Have a good week everyone!!
