Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Its rubbish isn't it!! You time everything and it does happen. I always think that if I'd have just accidentally forgot to take my pill when I was on it I'd have been pregnant strait away!! I have my fingers crossed for you that you get pg this time, baby conceived at Christmas Xmas Smile.

Hi klou. When you testing again? My body went stupid last cycle. Weird what our bodies do. I hope you are pg, it would be lovely to know at Christmas. You could say you are severly hung over lol. No one would question that.

Cd5 here, wish af would bugger off now. I've started temping too so let's see where that gets me Xmas Smile

So sorry madkatz I HATE AF!!! how long was your cycle this time?

Am now on day 37 this end. First cycle was 35, last one was 28 so am very confused as to what my body is doing.

DH and I are getting excited, as would be great to be preggars for Xmas, as we're on our own this year instead of the family thing (just in case it was our last one we could have on our own :)), so no queries with no booze, but going back to the Midlands again for NYE so not sure what I'd say. Getting away with myself again........

MadKatz · 08/12/2010 15:09

Thanks Iwish,mine are normally about 27 days.

A bit more upset annoyed this time than normal as I thought we might have got it right. I know it can take ages but I really was hoping it would be a bit quicker than this - this one starting today is now my 8th cycle since coming off the pill. Sad

Iwish · 08/12/2010 14:07

Oh no sorry madkatz :(. I hope you are ok. I had s stupid cycle last time and was 5-7 days later than normal. You will at least be able to have Xmas drinks. Unless you have short Ish cycles like me, I will be able to find out off an early rest around Xmas day.

MadKatz · 08/12/2010 13:31

Looks like I spoke too soon

Sad
MadKatz · 08/12/2010 06:58

Well still no AF Smile Here's hoping

Putting up the tree and decs this weekend with the help of our friends little boy, our flat doesn't feel very Christmassy at the mo...but it will after a very active 2 year old has got his hands on the baubles and tinsel!

lizandlulu · 07/12/2010 17:14

KLou111 · 07/12/2010 17:05

I get dizzy madkatz but still waiting for my BFP, so fingers crossed it's a sign for both of us as I have had cramps for a few weeks now

Home sweet home :) looking forward to putting up the xmas decs this weekend Xmas Grin

MadKatz · 07/12/2010 10:40

Thanks for that liz, sounds promising x Xmas Smile

MadKatz · 07/12/2010 10:39

Just read back my first post from this morning: Finders?!? I need to find my fingers and type proper! lol

lizandlulu · 07/12/2010 10:12

madkatz i am reading a book called 'the best friends guide to pregnancy' and dizziness is a symptom in there, so looking goodXmas Smile

klou fingers crossed for you too.

MadKatz · 07/12/2010 10:00

Just out of interest - has anyone else had dizzy spells as an early pregnancy sign? Since yesterday lunch time if I don't stand up or sit down fairly slowly I feel quite dizzy. I don't normally get this with AF

MadKatz · 07/12/2010 09:37

Well still no AF so tested this morning - BFN - probably too early. Still cramping though
Finders crossed this time!

KLou111 · 07/12/2010 08:50

Just tried to test and test is duff!! Going home today, so will try tomorrow as that was my last one I brought with me. Gutted :(

lizandlulu · 06/12/2010 22:26

bleugh i hate mince pies, couldnt force one down if it killed meXmas Grin

KLou111 · 06/12/2010 22:21

ooooooo shortbread now you're talking mmmmmmmmmmm

We got given mince pies today to go with it Xmas Smile 1st one of Christmas

lizandlulu · 06/12/2010 22:16

i am drinking tea as we speakGrin i couldnt function without my cuppas. especially good when you have a brand new box of shortbread to dip in!

KLou111 · 06/12/2010 18:42

*went to see

KLou111 · 06/12/2010 18:39

Well, been a little brown on wiping today so not sure if may be spotting and OV'd late or AF on it's way. Normally when AF comes though, it is a lot heavier and on a pad straight away, not just there when wiping.
Still got cramps, has been going on for weeks now.

Had a cheeky tea today, swore I wouldn't, but when to see DH grandparents and would've been rude not to. One can't hurt!

lizandlulu · 06/12/2010 10:27

madkatz just go home with 'womens problems' Grin i work will all men too and this covers a whole load of things!

thinking of you both x

MadKatz · 06/12/2010 10:05

Will be thinking of you.
God I'm cramping really bad this morning. Could do with going home and curling up with a hot water bottle but seems petty taking a sick day for this. What makes it worse is I am the only woman in an office of 7 men - try explaining to them what's wrong!! Blush

KLou111 · 06/12/2010 09:08

Was going to test again tomorrow if AF not here x

MadKatz · 06/12/2010 09:07

HI Lou I know what you mean. I never used to get cramps or anything apart from feeling really down the day before AF came but last cycle I had real cramps so this could be either...obviously I would much prefer not to see AF!
Your pink could be anything - I've been reading up on the net and some women have occasional bleeds all through pregnancy. That would drive me mad but not a lotyou can do I suppose.
When are you testing?

x

KLou111 · 06/12/2010 08:48

Finger crossed madkatz

I'm totally confused (no change there then!)

Just before bed went to the loo and there was very light pink when I wiped, gutted. But nothing this morning. Not sure WTH my body is doing this month!!

MadKatz · 06/12/2010 07:30

Morning Ladies,

Still no AF but very crampy. Due tomorrow but really hoping it doesnt happen Hmm
