Brooking No Argument for Positive Pee Sticks, Healthy Pregnancies and Home-made Cakes!!!

beedle sorry to read that as well, try again soon though, blardy pee sticks!

Walks in very briefly, gives popcorn a big hug and says 'Yes of course darling we are all getting there'

shiny sorry about AF but don't worry we are in the right thread, ok??

Another preggo announcement this weekend, I had to nip the loo and have a little quiet cry, Some get me more than others!

I also know that the girl I work with is preggers again with number 2, I just KNOW. No coffee, and did not drink on our night out. She has just come back from maternity leave and we always joked about doing a tag team. Agrh!!!

Anyway, off to acupuncture tonight and then DH is getting sexed in a major way. We have bonked for Britain this weekend but am on day 15 and have still not ovulated, still getting lows on the monitor and day 15 ist he latest I ever ovulate, most odd. Don't my ovaries know that getting sexed at teh weekend is way more convenient!??

possible get thee a pee stick asap please!!!!

Popcorn my love, of course you are going to be posting there, we all are. That's the deal with this thread you see. And I am taking no prisoners

Shiny sorry she got you, but I'm with everyone else, your LP sounds just fine. And remember 1st day of AF=1st day of your pregnancy

< waves at salutes Biscuits and Little >

Feeling a bit bummed out this afternoon, ladies. Reading a few threads in the pg forum somewhat wistfully, wondering if I'll ever get to post about MILs insensitive pg comments or MW's stupid advice... [hsad]

Agree with biscuits and little! And mine is 13 days too :)

Agreed Shiny - it doesn't have to be 14 days. I often read things that say 'you'll ovulate 14 says before your next period' but that's just text book speak. most people have an LP of 13-15 days I would guess. I've also read things that suggest that your LP will be the same every month and that isn't necessarily true either. I think it will be round about the same each month but not necessarily exactly the same.

I really wouldn't over analyse it if I were you - only something 20% or something of people get pg the first month. And you're brooking too so this month will be yours

Shiny, don't worry one jot about your lp. Even if you ov'd on the Sunday then you are absolutely fine. Below 10 days is meant to be an issue, your's sounds like 13 which is great.

Well, AF turned up one day early (by my calculations) on Friday night. Just as we were off to the PILS for 2 nights . So spent a lovely night in a lumpy single bed in nylon sheets dosed up on ibuprofen.

Back now and ready for round two.

Can any nice person help me though?

I had a positive OPK on Friday night (two weeks ago) and the Saturday morning. Not sure about the Sat night. I had a sore side on Sat night so pretty sure I ov-ed then.

If AF turned up 13 days later - i.e. on the Friday night - does that mean that I have an issue with luteal phase? Should it be 14 days absolutely? Consulted Dr Google and it seems to say that luteal phases can be between 12 and 16 days. However, when you count the luteal phase, it is from the day after OV and it finishes on the day before your period. So my luteal phase would be 11 days?

I am going to try really hard this month not to test until AF is late and also not to be doing mad symptom checking. I think I did myself no favours last month and completely wound myself up! I also think I'm hyper-suggestible too.....Have had to re-assess my whole personality as used to think I was quite laid back and sensible!

Off to catch up with the rest of the news. Hope everyone else is well.

Haha Loooopy You are right, it would most definitely be ironic Unfortunately, the sickness is probably just one of those things

How are you Loooopy?

That really has come round quick Musical, you must be so excited Sorry to hear about the sickness. I hope it passes soon and you can get back to enjoying food again!

oooh maybe from very very early on when i was preggo with DS, i felt sick if i didn't eat something!! i never used to eat breakfast pre-preggo, but every morning when i woke up, i felt completely and utterly empty, couldn't get out of bed until i'd eaten something, but as long as i did, i was fine. Only had MS twice, both triggered by brushing my teeth!

So when are you going to announce your BFP??!!

(which i might add must count as an ironic one as it's not long since you decided you were rat smacking again after deciding you weren't cos of your nasty boss!)

Wow, that's come round quickly musical! Exciting stuff :)

It clearly means you are maybe! I feel really sick if I don't eat. I also feel really sick if I do eat, though - can't win! Sureelly you must be testing soon? :)

Next scan is a week today!

Ninja, rubbish to hear about the morning sickness :( I'm frequently feeling ill in the mornings, but have only actually been sick once - so I'm quite pleased about that. It seems to be getting worse rather than better though, which I'm not impressed with.

[bad parent]

How are you Little? Otis is a Eurasier, not obvious at all, they aren't a common breed

Musical how are you now? How long till your next scan?

Ninja boo to morning sickness. Where is that emergency satsuma.....

Solars i did indeed toy with those name choices, but DH wasn't having any of it

I don't know if/when to test. All I know is I feel really sick if I don't eat which obviously points to the fact that I am indeed up the duff

Hi all
Just thought I'd check in instead of lurking. Hope everyone is ok. CD19 here which is pretty miraculous.

Lovely pic of Otis Maybe. What breed is he? (sorry if it's obvious, I have no clue about dogs!)

My order of flowers and wine to celebrate Stasi's wedding is here. Tuck in.

afternoon. maybe what agorgeous fluffy bundle Otis is. And as an anti-af mascot he will be perfect.
Sorry to hear so many of you are still feeling ill. Thats rather pants. I had my first moment of nausea this morning on the bus, no breakfast and trying to read not a good combination. Had to remind myself I had a banana and muffin in my bag ready to have with tea when I got to work. I never had ms with ds, I'm not equipped for this type of thing!

Oh, so will you be testing soon? Fingers crossed for you x

by the way were you not tempted to name puppy Brook or Ramekin? [hsmile]

Quiet indeed...

maybe Otis looks adorable. What a wonderful mascot. Does this mean you'll be testing soon? :)

Beedle, how rude of the pee sticks not to agree with your updiffedness!

Haven't been around much for a few days - so just wanted to say a quick goodbye to Cake - please pop back and tell us how you're doing! We'll miss you..!

Sorry to hear so many of you are ill!

Can't believe it's the last day of October already. My schedule for November looks hellish. Think I'll start counting down the days til December..!

I have no idea when she isn't coming Solars I had a positive OPK 14 days ago, and my LP is normally 15, so who knows?

Maybe 'tis very quiet indeed! AF is not welcome next Monday I believe, what about you? Are you not testing soon?

Thanks fellow rat smackers. He is indeed very cute and fluffy. I will train him up to be a ferocious anti-AF dog. They are in high demand I hear.

Everyone has gone very quiet of late.

Strange dreams are deffo a symptom Solars I too have been having them, though probably just cos I am a bit feverish When is AF not due?

It was definately too early, but now I can try to not think about it for a few days, if that makes any sense

maybe Otis is very cute

Maybe Otis is adorable, lovely wedding pic too!! I'm good thanks, how are you doing? I'm liking the idea of Otis being our mascot and keeping AF at bay! Hope you and Popcorn feel better soon

Sorry to hear of BFN Beedle but does seem like you tested too early, give it some time and you'll find an agreeable pee stick soon enough!

Still no symptoms for me in my 2ww unless you count strange dreams over the past week

Awww he is so fluffy!!! And the wedding photo's gorgeous too :o

Oh Popcorn it's not good is it? I am still ill too. Well, very sick feeling anyway. Hope you feel better soon.

I am not gifted in the technology department either, and have just realised that I had ti make it public in order for you to see it So now you should just be able to click on my name
