Tingly boobs are gone so must just be hormones playing tricks on me! Just posted but it seems to have disappeared lol. Temps up Jo xxx.

 

[josie1234]

yes think hormones like playing tricks!

How are you today Becks, little Brooklyn sleep ok? Yes temp up slightly this morning. BFN though but hey, it's not over yet. No tests left so may have to pop out later. lol. I must have spent a fortune over the years on all these tests and things but hey, if I get my BFP, it will be so worth it.

Little bit emotional today as my ex's mum (my DS's Nanna) has only a max of 2 weeks left to live as she has cancer. So I do have a little cry now and again. Although we don't have lots of contact since me and ex split, she is a lovely lady and always sends me cards and even me and DH anniversary cards which is sweet. Life can be so cruel. So my DS is with his dad today going to see Leeds play football and then he will see his Nanna but it could be the last time he sees her. He doesn't know this though, not sure if ex will tell him but he does know that she has terminal cancer. Sad times

Oh Jo how awful I'm so sorry to hear that, it's terribly sad isnt it. Dd nearly 13 has no grandads now as both my ex's father and my dad passed in the last two years, she was heartbroken she has one nan who's not too brilliant a nan and that's it. My mum and I don't speak (long story) so I do feel sorry for her. I hope you're ok xxx.
Yes I've also spent a fortune in tests! But like you say when you get you bfp it will all be worth it! Brooklyn is really good thank you he now goes to sleep around 9pm until 7am and is still good as gold. He just spends his days smiling I've honestly never known such a good baby xxx

 

[josie1234]

Yeh it is sad. I am closer to her than my MIL. Hope DS will be ok. DS only really sees her when he is at his dads and they visit her every so often. We have no family living near (due to being in Forces). My family living up North (Stockton-On-Tees) and DH's family live Derby way.

Glad that Brooklyn is so content, what a little star he is for his mum and dad eh?

I will get excited if I go past 49 days.

 

[Oasis717]

I'm avidly watching your chart everyday! I'm excited for you xxxx the tingly feeling was back briefly but gone again, am sure my hormones will be all over the place for a few cycles though so hopefully after charting for 3 months we can start trying properly and hopefully it won't be too late xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Becks. Wish I could get excited lol. Hope your cycles settle straight away for you so you can ttc and POAS regularly!! Maybe FF should add more columns for you lol.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol omg Jo that had me in stitches!!!! Yes maybe I should complain to them lol x x

 

[josie1234]

yes definitely lol.

 

[Oasis717]

xxxx

Crystal - temps still looking good.

 

[crysshae]

Just popping in to read quickly on my phone.

Sounds promising Becks.

Hope those temps keep going up Jo.

 

[Oasis717]

Ok so boobs have been tingling all eve along with a mild burning, not as intense as I had before I got my bfp with Brooklyn. Also two runs of palpitations, again what I had in the two week wait, is it just coincidence or something more? xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Crystal although I'd be scared it was too soon after Brooklyn, they say to wait a year, but at 42 I don't have a year, I only wish I had more time xxxx

Sounds promising

You've made me smile on a previous post, basically saying you'll try properly in a couple of months. Does that mean 5 times a day!!!!!

I still don't know how you get the time or the energy!!!!!

Looking at your chart and the timing of DTD I would say high probability of bfp.

Afm my theory of Caitlin being cold wasn't right, although she did make it to 4.15am today! Can't believe she was doing 11 hours a night!

I need some sleep

 

[josie1234]

Morning Lisa hope you manage to get some sleep today. I know what you mean about time and energy, I feel too tired even when DH is home for the 4 days.

Hope Caitlin settles for you.

AFM - temps still ok. But realised this morning that on both pregnancies I did not find out til I was 8 weeks bit I was never POAS then. It was a case of 'oh I haven't had af for a while and then going to docs'.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol Lisa, it's actually quite true! When we were trying for Brooklyn it was 4/5 times a day opposed to the 1/2 now so you see we were trying harder lol. The tingling is coming and going, I don't think I will be getting a bfp this month as I don't feel like I did with Brooklyn and my temps were climbing by now with him but that's fine as it's prob a bit too soon. It's just nice to know I'm still ovulating at the right time etc so I'm pleased I started charting again. Xxxx

 

[crysshae]

Jo - Are you thinking you're one of those people who doesn't get positives on HPTs early on?

Becks - I think all your bases were definitely covered so a chance. Every pregnancy is different too. They do say wait 6 months to a year, and we are older so I understand your concern but lots of ladies have their babies within a year of each other. You could have Irish twins.

Lisa - Hope Caitlin gets her routine straightened out again.

 

[Oasis717]

Your temps are great Crystal! Thank you. It's prob better if I'm not as I think I should have at least 6 months and I've not even started to loose weight properly! It's just I feel time slipping away for me I wish if met dh when I was younger but it is what it is. Of course we are blessed with our boys but we both dreamt always if having a big family. Do you think I'm 5 dpo or 7? Xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Crystal I am not sure as I didn't chart or test regularly on previous pregnancies so maybe!?
I will be CD 49 tomorrow.
Temps looking good hun xx

Becks I know what you mean. I think 5 DPO.
