Hi Becks, nope, still no AF. Thanks. Hope so.

Is dd doing anything for her birthday? Bet she loves her little brother eh?

That's great! The longer she stays away the better! Keeping everything crossed for you. Still check your chart every morning lol xxx. Georgia is having a sleepover with a few friends, take away etc. she's v excited! She adores Brooklyn. As does Casey ds 5, I knew he'd make a fab big brother but I didn't realise just how loving he was going to be to him here's Georgia and Brooklyn when he was just a couple of weeks old xxx.

Lovely cake, Jo. You definitely have talent for that.

Regina - I have never heard that either. Interesting information. I don't know how it works over there, but if you do require induction, be as involved in it as you possibly can. I was induced with my youngest, and my labor was no worse than any of my natural labors and was actually quite a bit shorter. I told them how I wanted it done, and they had to ask me before they could increase the amount of pitocin they gave me. It turned out really well.

Becks - Such a sweet picture. She's beautiful.

Lisa - Hope Caitlin is feeling better.

Aw Becks that photo is so cute, it brought tears to my eyes!!

Thanks Crystal, I only make them for family so don't charge. My niece thinks I should do it as a business but that would be so much pressure, plus my kitchen is tiny. I'd rather just do cakes once in a blue moon rather than all the time. Here's another one. lol. Speaking of being creative, wonder how Karen is getting on. Have you decided to temp yet?

Oh, just took the dog for a walk and I feel really sick/nauseous, like I was going to throw up. Trying not to symptom spot or even imagine symptoms but I have felt like it for about 15 minutes. Yuk.

The top cake got a little damaged in transit as we had to drive 3 hours to take it up to my niece and it was really warm then as it was August.

 

[crysshae]

That cake is lovely too.

Ooohhhhh! I hope that is a wonderful sign!

I think I've decided if I remember the thermometer in the morning, I might do it, but if not, I'll probably try skipping it since it'll already be day 10.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies it's a lovely pic oooo Jo, I am getting excited for you now!! Xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Jo cakes look lovely.

Keeping fingers crossed for you. I'm constantly checking your chart!

Becks, lovely photo of your soon to be teenage dd and her baby brother.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks everyone for keeping an eye on me lol. I try not to get my hopes up, especially as my cycles are so irregular but surely if I did ov on Christmas Day would I not get a BFP by now? Took a cheeky test but it was this afternoon when I felt sick but still BFN. grrr. I wonder if there is a helpline for POAS addicts, I think I need to ring up lol.

I am not taking B6 anymore so my long cycles aren't down to that. Becks - I bet your DD is looking forward to her birthday, sleep overs are so exciting. Aw bet Casey really enjoys looking after his little brother, so cute.

Thanks Lisa.

Any updates from the other ladies??

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa xxxxxxand Jo xxxxx Jo it depends how long implantation takes, it can take up to 12 days and then a couple more for the hcg to get into your system to show up on hpts so you never know! Plus the sensitivity of the test. I was SUCH a poas aholic I can't tell you and the very best hpt I found was SuperDrug own at a genuine (I don't believe the sensitivity of ics) 10 so it would be the very best and ATM they're just 3.99 for a pack of two. You can buy them from SuperDrug online xxxx.

Caitlin is due her second lot of jabs tomorrow .

She should be on the third lot by now but I had to cancel a couple of times due to holiday and her being ill

She still has a snuffly nose but isn't poorly so I'll take her along and see what they say.

Jo take a look on www.countdowntopregnancy.com . They show statistics of pregnancy women who took tests at different DPO . At 13 Dpo 17% got a negative but were actually pg. they got a positive at a later date

Even at 15 dpo 11% still got a negative but were pregnant.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Lisa. I had a look. Very interesting. I am not getting too excited especially as I had a 49 day cycle before but fingers crossed! How did Caitlin get on today? Hope she is ok xx

 

[garfie]

Good luck Josie

[dancareoi]

Caitlin had her jabs, so hopefully she'll be ok.

Well we've booked a skiing holiday to Italy for next feb. booked way in advance to make sure we get childcare place for Caitlin.

DH and I skied every year before DS came along. In Europe, America and Canada. We took two eldest to France 5 years ago.

Life after pregnancy/ babies will be strange!! Having foreign holidays again

Sorted Caitlin's christening cake today, so another job ticked off the list. Bought some pretty white tights off eBay tonight too. She will wear same christening gown the others all wore and my mom is knitting a delicate white cardigan for her to wear.

 

[josie1234]

Morning
Thanks Garf. How are you? Your temps are looking good up to now. FX and fairy dust to you xx

Lisa glad that Caitlin was ok, how are her snuffles. Bet you are looking forward to your hols. You are getting organised. Look forward to seeing christening pics.

Afm - cd 38 still no af. Little temp rise this morning. Fx. Temps are low compared to previous cycle. Worked full day in gym reception yesterday and was so busy. So was tired yesterday. Step son's wife to be had her first scan so that was exciting for them. Bit of sadness for me but am chuffed for them. Have a good day everyone xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone Jo I agree looks like ov on the 25th from your chart not quite sure why FF didn't give you crosshairs ??? Anyway I'm checking ya out every day and cheering you on

Dance your holiday sounds wonderful ! Its so nice to have something to look forward to . All being well I think we will try get away to the sun this summer . Garfie your chart is looking good and glad your scan went well

I'm begining to get really uncomfortable these days , the pressure in my bump is unbelievable at stages , feels like I could seriously go pop any second lol......... LO very fond of sticking his bum in the air and into my ribs !!!!!!

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina, I have done manual override on my chart for the 25th but wasn't quite sure on where to put coverline but am concerned that my temps are still low. There is no possibility that I ov on CD 32 is there? I know it is very late in cycle. I only wish I knew what was going on. May ring doctor tomorrow to make appointment, what do you think?

Thanks for cheering me on. Hope my temp rises again tomorrow. Lol at your bump, LO certainly getting comfy in there xx

 

[josie1234]

Morning, how are you all today?

Temp dip this morning again, hmmm. Having a lazy day pottering in the house today which is nice. Catching up on a few little jobs. DH home tonight.

Are you up to anything this weekend?

 

[josie1234]

Temps still looking good Garf.

 

[josie1234]

I have just rang the doctors asking to speak to someone about my cycles and they are going to get the duty doctor to ring me later today so see what happens there. Don't hold much hope but it would be nice to know if there's anything to help regulate my cycles and indeed make sure I am ovulating. I know people say that if you don't ttc and just enjoy things then it will probably happen but that is easier said than done eh? Don't know what sort of questions I should ask, any ideas?
