We are all jolly well going to smack the rat this month and grow a baby and we'll brook no argument. And probably eat some cake too.

that's what I call her solars!

Oooo cross-post Little no af signs yet, but i'm sure she lurking...

Have fun at the acupuncturist (is that a word?)

Too true bean

Hi Little Friend

Bank balance is just a figure. Babies are what we want and nothing shall get in our way. Have a very relaxing time and start gee-ing up for the SWI fest.

Bean bless you for reading up on clomid, we are in fact using pre-seed too. I'm never a big fan of taking medication if I don't have to and anytime I am prescribed anything I will read around it and did read the same too.

Scarlet that's very sweet of you, hope you are well x

Popcorn I'm a little shocked by your interview story

Right come on AF, I'll entertain your visit one last time so make the most of it

Sorry you were disappointed this morning solars. It's not over for you yet though - any af signs?

Board the boobie train popcorn? That is too funny!!! I can't imagine what my dp would do if I actually said that too him!

CD8 here. Got some acupuncture this afternoon which I'm looking forward too. Don't think my bank balance is looking forward to it though.

That's hippy-ist!

I've never heard of that! DH is a psychiatric nurse, and thinks there's definitely something in the theory that people get a bit weird on a full moon, though.

As a teen, I didn't get a job I interviewed for because I "look like a hippy". They then went on to ask if I'd ever been to glasto, and said they found hippies unreliable my jaw was on the floor the whole time.

Takes one to know one. I like to think there's a good bit of rock n roll mixed in with the youghurty crocheted shawl, and I'm sure that can be said of you Smegs...

PS I have hippyish yoghurt-knitting tendencies myself, please don't think that was derogatory! x

Ah, just a lentil-weaver . I've never heard of the full moon theory - I like it, two chances a month!

smegs - glad you explained. I'm more like a quiche than a wild dog though.

And yes - your DH needs a kick up the jacksy. Like I say - you need to make yrself scarce round cd5-10 then come home for sex-fuelled reunion.

bean are you a Wolef?!

Popcorn - we are ladies and therefore need to be in tune with the moon. I was born on a full moon (like a lot of babies are) and am therefore supposed to be uber fertile at that time of the month. There's even been an argument that some women ovulate twice in a cycle - once on the usual cd and the other when the moon is full. Did I mention that I am an outrageous hippy (though you wouldn't think so to look at me)??? I have a friend who's DD2 was conceived at the totally wrong time of the month and she was away from home during usual cd. She was reunited with DH say around cd20+. Scan confirmed that conception would have been v late in the cycle. Of course there is the usual joshing that DD2 may be another man's child but this simply isn't the case (she's a lovely girl, honest guv). I'm betting and a double ov!

Bean you're right! that was Monday too. He's been feeding me excuses, the rotter!

Howl at the full moon?

Hi scarlet - We went Nordic with TK and couldn't quite bring ourselves to watch US version, though my mate watched both and rated both. Apparently they did change the ending of the US one. I don't even know if a US version of second series is in existence as they are only just about to broadcast Nordic series 2 on telly in the UK.

Imps aren't we due some pregnancy update symptoms?

May I remind you all to howl at the full moon at 8oclock tonight please? Very necessary for the many preggos on this thread.

Solars was lurking this morning looking out for your update. Fingers are crossed here that your BFN was down to a dud pee stick.

Imps you are so pregnant. That play you went to see sounds very weird.

bean I loved the first series of The Killing. I confess I didn't see the original Danish version which everyone raves about, but we were glued to the American version, it was so well acted you could almost feel the pain of the murdered girl's mother. Do you know when series 2 of the American one is to start? I was also wondering whether it was the same murderer in both versions?

He's not at work today then? Tummy bug may have left him a bit knackered but weren't you boozing recently anyway? He can't be that ill!

Well he has been a bit ill - he had a tummy bug Monday. But it's gone now. (but perhaps I'm being mean? )

My OPK is almost positive - so I reckon it'll peak thisavo. So should be good timing if I brook no argument and force DH to board the boobie train this afternoon? :o

Solars - not wanting to cause alarm bells but it might be worth using preseed now you are on clomid. I have just read an article suggesting that C can affect CM and lead to dryness. Perhaps you have to have been on it a while for this to happen and perhaps you don't have a CM problem anyway...

I'm not convinced that my CM is much cop. Am wondering if this is to do with age...

Agree with scrambled - it is quite silly, TWO nights in a row...

Oh Solars that's rubbish . Clomid does funny things, doesn't it? Although I suppose you're not laughing . That's a very good LP, as s silver lining.

Popcorn 8:15? . That's just silly! Is he ill? I agree with bean, jump him early tonight.

Popcorn - you gotta jump that bloke tonight at 7pm, no excuses. Time to get the pink fluffy handcuffs out?

BTW - implantation takes place 6-12 days after the egglet has been spermed up. The egg does all that amazing dividing up of cells and wanders down to the uterus in the days preceding. I remember getting uncharacteristically drunk in the first week of pregnancy. I assuaged my guilt by working out that the egg was probably still freeform so totally unaffected. Didn't help with the roaring hangover/nausea though.
