Mollycat - is there any chance you could have O'd early? Mmmm, the milo has been yum. I was off tea and coffee full stop for a while but I told myself that I need to relax so am allowing myself 1 - 2 cups per week of one or the other. Dare devil aren't I?!?! he he he
pbstar - GL with the acupuncture and herbs this month!

Hi Everyone.
Just a quickie fromme tonight (it's 10pm here)...
Jen- You make me laugh, girl! Videos, now there's an idea....
Jenushka- Yes, you can add me to the list of us who would change her flight. The way I see it is that I only have 12 chances per year to conceive (Well, 11 really 'cos of my longer cycles). Do you think that going away, having a rest, re-charging your batteries, letting your hair down (etc.) might actually be helpful? If so, then you migh not want to change it.....?
AJC- Wow, it really sounds good symptom wise- I've got my fingers and toes crossed!!
I am on CD35 and am going insane!! Yes, I know that I am slightly stressed with work at the mo, and am OBSESSED with whether AF is on her way...so maybe that's why she's not here. Have NO pg symptoms. Woke up yesterday and today with mild cramps and thought she would arrive. Just want her to get here so i can get on with the next cycle and calm down a bit. My last cycles were 33 and 34 days long, so it's not like AF is very late......What shall I do? it is so tempting to POAS, but as mentioned yesterday, I'd rather not see a BFN.
Sorry to ramble on. I think I must be one of the most impatient people in history!
Got to go.

canary- i can't believe you still haven't tested! if i was you i would definitely test- but then again if i was you i would have tested 5 days ago whether i had symptoms or not....
anyway my fingers are crossed and i amfor you to get your BFP
Registered User
Canary - can't remember if u have already POAS this cycle or not but maybe it's time to do so again. Try tomorrow morning perhaps with FMU. If it is the dreaded BFN, then I would get it checked out. Alternatively, wait 2-3 more days and then POAS , etc. Sometimes AF can be indeed delayed cos of stress.hun!
jenushka - i don't have an opinion one way or another with the plane travel other than do what you feel is the right thing for you - particularly ur state of mind!! ...not sure about St John's Wort and sperm, sorry.....
mollycat - sounds crazy at ur place but my heart thinks it's kind of lovely at the same time - it is an idea that i had thought of to do myself.....
hello everyone else - i listed a whole heap of names last time and was mortified to learn since that i missed a few so not going to try this time - just know that u are ALL thought of!!!

Jen - at the moment they are cutting the wall out for the new kitchen window. We played jigsaw puzzle last night and put the kitchen together, it's now sitting in the middle of our backyard. I have to go out later and number it before putting it away again. It took about an hour to sort it out in the right shape. LOL. DH was so tired and cranky, glad it finally came together.
Other people's kids are usually pretty good to look after, every now and then you get a couple that are a little bit challenging, but most of the time it's easy. I often think that it's crazy too (when I have parent's coming for interviews at certain times I tell them it's a little bit mad here, especially after school)
Jenushka - I think i would change my flight as well - it's what us "dedicated" people would do.
Lea - good luck with your ultrasound - PCOS is not totally horrible (just a few life changes) and sometimes it's good to have a reason or explanation about what your body is doing.
AJC - I don't think i O'd early, my temp jumped about the time AF stopped, I guess time will tell? Dare Devil I don't think one or two cups will hurt you
Canary - Have you POAS at all, I hope for you that all this is leading to a BFP, I would be getting very anxious.
for everyone.

Canary--If you were impatient, you would've POAS already! I was thinking more along the lines of you're the MOST patient person in this group!I know what you mean about not wanting to see a BFN, but you have some definite restraint! I would be going crazy for sure by now! Do you have tests at home that you aren't using, or is that too much of a temptation for you? Because if you DO have tests and you're STILL showing this much restraint, then I'm going to get on my knees,bow down, and pay homage to you!
Saying tons of prayers for you!!!
mollycat--Sounds like a pain in the butt, but just imagine how great it will be when it's over! So is O coming up for you, too? I'm supposed to O on Sat. It's going to be a BD fest for me this weekend--but not going to tell DF, that way he doesn't feel pressured out. And definitely no use of the term "baby dancing", as I think that was a spoiler last month. I'm just going to try to keep the fun going for now, and try really hard to not think about any outcome! DF seems pretty happy lately, which makes him much easier to put up with, so I think I'll keep the focus on him for now! Will your extension be finished by this weekend?

Morning everyone
Jenushka - you're totally normal! I would change flights to avoid missing the eggie, no doubt about that.
Canary - GL - hope it's a BFP. I know what you mean about being a little scared to POAS.
Mollycat - maybe it's just the tamoxifen making your temps higher than usual. I have found that this month my temps have been higher pre O than usual. Just to confuse us even more. Renos sound good, they are stressful but it will be sooo worth it.
afm - well temp still high today @ 12dpo. So relieved that my LP is longer this cycle, either coincidence or the B6 has helped. Might POAS if no af by Sat, going out for dinner for SIL's b'day so want to enjoy a nice glass of wine (or two or three) if I may. Jen - still have that funny taste in my mouth it's weird. Everything I eat has been repeating on me more than normal too. Breasts aren't that sore but are a little sensitive. DH commented this morn that they look more plump than usual and they are quite veiny too. Well as I said, trying not to get my hopes up.....easier said than done.

AJC--Your signs are sounding more and more promising! I've got everything--well, ok, not my legs, but everything else is crossed for you!
issy--Hope things slow down for you soon so you can relax! Thanks for popping in to say hi!
plc--Don't worry, I'm sure I miss at least one person every time I list names! There's so many of us, it's nearly impossible to not miss someone at some point! I'm sure nobody takes it personally--we know we're all cared for!

Hello ladies!
Welcome & Hello Jenushka & Lea!
Jen805: of course you have a door to your womb! or else how would the spermies get in! maybe you've been poking around the wrong place...: hehe
Acria: Yeah it seems thats all dhs are good for ay! I thank my dh for his sperm donation with my legs in the air!
I googled cervical position yesterday & found - cp is soft & open during ovulation, once thats over then it would return to closed & hard regardless of whether or not conception has occured. & then its true that it shifts during different times of the day or something. oh well whatever! as long as it works hey.
Ok thats all for now.& hope everyone here gets a
to anyone I havent met before & finally showering you all with

Ladies!
Have just posted a very selfish venting post in the 2ww thread so won't carry on like a pork chop all over again in here! Needless to say I'd love to pull up a seat in this very warm and welcoming place for another cycle...
To all those I have not yet met
To the lovely ladies I have already met - big bigfor every one of you
Now if I could ask all of you for your opinion - is it a bit to "ttc extreme" of me to want to change my flights to Sydney (going without dh) in a couple of weeks because I am due to be away for my entire fertile window? I am very seriously considering delaying my trip by a week and just don't know if that makes me a total ttc obsessed crazy-woman! I have a feeling this is not normal behaviour but will probably change my flights anyway!!! What the heck!!

St John's Wort / Sperm count
Yes - me again!
Another question - anyone ever come across any info on the effect St John's Wort can have on sperm? DH has been taking it for about a month or so and reading a recent post where someone mentioned they'd stopped taking it in order to ttc got me thinking...
I'm heading off to google it now...
Oh, and just to let you know, I've tipped a bucket of
no i would probably change my flight as well.. who knows it could have been your lucky month

Good morning friends! I love waking up to so many posts!
megsmum--Glad to hear you're back safely from Singapore, but so very sorry to read of your BFN's! Huge hugs to you, hun!
plc--Good morning baby mama! Never thought of myself as having an accent, although I guess to you it would sound like I did! The only time I can tell is when I'm attempting to speak Spanish--I just sound so WHITE!
mollycat--I don't know how you can handle so many kids that aren't your own! You're an inspiration--you have to be a pretty special person to be able to effectively care for young children that aren't even yours! Did you decide where to put your kitchen window? I'm trying to decide where to put my front door... lol, j/k
mellie--
Vanaithi--I'm convinced I don't even have a cervix--everything feels the same!
pbstar--Sorry again about AF, but so glad she's packing up (hopefully for a long time!). Good luck with the accupuncture and the herbalist, hope it helps bring you to a BFP!
Acria--I bet DH was very pleased to find you waiting in bed for him--I'm sure he didn't protest too loudly! It's hard to keep things exciting sometimes, isn't it? DF and I have been watching movies lately to help keep the juices flowing--whatever it takes, right?
lea--Good luck with your u/s next week! Hope you get good news regarding the PCOS--everything's crossed for you!
jenushka--I think if it were me, I would probably change flights, as well! So that must make us both (and lea, too) TTC obsessed crazy women!
AJC--Have you been keeping up with your dental hygiene, or is that weird taste still lingering?
hi treelo! Good luck for this month, you're in my prayers!
mmteacher--Hey mama! Hope things are going great with you!
AFM... Supposed to O on Sat.... DF and I have been keeping very busy lately IYKWIM!! Feeling very relaxed about everything at the moment, just having fun BD'ing whenever, instead of doing it to TTC. Hope this doesn't offend anyone, but anyone looking to spice things up should definitely try watching movies--how do you think I was able to get to 5 times in one night?????"sigh" it's hard to be a hero!
Hi's and hugs to everyone else! Gotta go run my errands, will check back in later!
