Princesslovelyboo · 15/07/2012 23:03

My books are just sort of normal at the mo, i will keep you all posted on them :)

SecretSparkle · 15/07/2012 22:00

Bugger my books aren't sore! Must punch my books!!

SweetieDoesIt · 15/07/2012 21:44

I have sore books too Wink

BeedleTheBard · 15/07/2012 21:27

Oh dear beedle it sounds like you might need a more supportive book case if they're getting a bit sore!

boo and sweetie I'm a few dpo, not quite sure as I haven't been temping much this week, my temp wasn't very high this morning but my books are starting to get sore, so I'll consider you guys to be my cycle buddies

geek I loved the Made in England suggestion I brought some cheap tests with me, so we'll know in 10 days or so :o And if not I'll be home in time for shag week to make a Swedish baby

Blush I was 3dpo yesterday, 4 today!

Princesslovelyboo · 15/07/2012 15:58

I am 3dpo Sweetie and have guaranteed my ironic BFP by drinking, twice, and getting a new dress!!

Who else is in the 2ww with us?

SweetieDoesIt · 15/07/2012 14:34

Afternoon ladies, just catching up on your weekend activities

Grin at geek suggesting Beedle will get a "Made in England" BFP, not much has that label these days so it would be a excellent twist of fate for a genuine overseas Brooking baby

geek sorry to hear you have had cold and things have turned into the evil witch got you too {{big hugs}}. I would ring up about DH sample as we all know those spermies are super sensitive and you don't want anything to impact the results.

boo I think we are all allowed time off for the odd indulgence, it is stressy enough without enjoying the odd glass or 10 of vino, especially when it is your birthday too, Happy Belated Birthday Cake

Sparks can you link to your chart, I am not sure if I have missed it. Sorry the pee stick disagreed this morning, but it is just the case of finding an agreeable one

face I think they do different tests to try to work out why you keep having those type of probs, a friend of a friend had reoccurring miscarriages and following diagnosis of sticky blood has gone on to have a DD, plus she was 42.

Solars it is so tough that all the different PCTs seem to read the guidelines so different depending which way the wind is blowing it makes things so much more difficult. There was an open evening that anyone considering IVF could attend at our clinic, might be worth seeing if you could attend one of those local to you. I have an appointment on Tuesday with another registrar, 6 months wait to see a consultant on NHS, to go through my questions. So will see how I feel after that if I want to pay to see a consultant.

Who else was 3DPO? That is where I am too and trying not to obsess but failing miserably as feel we only have this cycle and then next before going down the treatment route. Although depending when AF starts in Aug we are away so will not be able to start before we come back to that might buy me another chance for a ironic BFP - fingers crossed.

Geeklette · 15/07/2012 12:55

Never mind my CBFM question, I have put in the +tests on FF (couldn't really bring myself to do so earlier) and it's tweaked my charts. Today is CD1.

Geeklette · 15/07/2012 11:28

boo is right, I gave my sticks a bloody good talking to and they came up with the goodies. This cycle I plan on giving my womble the same talk as it apparently missed the first!

scarlett your post made me chuckle Grin

sparks I wouldn't have thought aran would make too much difference, but you may need slightly larger needles if you want to get the same lacy effect as you would with 4ply. I love lacy knitting, I can't bear doing huge swathes of garter or stocking stitch. If you're having trouble getting to grips with the pattern, how about doing a swatch of it that you can either make into a cushion cover, or a patch for a patchwork blanket? I try out most of my new stitches this way. There's usually loads of places looking for people to donate blanket squares that can be stitched together and auctioned for charity. I learned to cable like this :)

beedle sounds like you've done very well on the SWI front. Brooking you'll soon be able to say 'Made in England'!

I think my cold is beginning to shift, my temp was down almost back to normal this morning but the bleeding's started up again after more thn 24 hours of not even a hint of spotting. AF would have been due yesterday so I think this is her trying not to be upstaged. CBFM users, should I take the day I started my CP bleed as CD1 as far as CBFM is concerned, or today (which is much more AF-like but showing on FF as CD5)?

Princesslovelyboo · 15/07/2012 09:05

Mmm yes I like a good wallow sometimes, but as your clearly diffed and i will be any time now we have nothing to wallow about yet! :) You need a better pee stick. Geek has some that she has already given a good talking too Grin

SecretSparkle · 15/07/2012 08:40

Oh dear boo maybe we should forget about temping? FF Blates doesn't know what it's talking about, it's telling me I have a triphasic chart but I don't believe a word of it, tested this morning, BFN Sad shall we wallow together?

Princesslovelyboo · 15/07/2012 08:30

Blush I was drunk again, I have been such a lush this week! I think my temps are broken sparks I have not had one over 35.9 all month, but I know I have OVd as my OPKs told me so. I have given up with FF for now :(

SecretSparkle · 15/07/2012 08:19

Not hopeful now, temps have started to go down! Ah well, looking forward to joining the 10 month club

SecretSparkle · 14/07/2012 23:53

boo as if you're drunk again Grin! Or have you just not bothered sobering up?!

Princesslovelyboo · 14/07/2012 23:28

Ooh, massive Grin fail Blush

Princesslovelyboo · 14/07/2012 23:27

Ooh I am in the 2ww too, 3dpo! I would say do read 50 shades, but get your own copy them you can convince yourself that your mum read something different! [gri

SecretSparkle · 14/07/2012 22:27

beedle great you're in 2ww with me, imps and maybe!! We're all diffed, fact!!

Laughing at your mum offering to lend you 50 shades of grey!! My Nan said she's wanted to get 20 shades of grey for while she was in hospital Hmm I'm assuming it was only 20 shades because she didn't want to read the naughty bits Grin

BeedleTheBard · 14/07/2012 22:10

Sorry I've not been around, too busy relaxing on holiday! So I won't try to comment on everything that's been said.

boo hope you had a good birthday

geek sorry to hear about the CP

sparks you definitely sound diffed to me :o

little congratulations on minilittle :o

Well DP has now gone back home leaving me in England for another couple of weeks, we managed to get a surprising amount of SWI done whilst staying with my parents Blush - I needn't have worried that we would miss the egg. I don't know exactly when I ov'd but I'm probably between 1 & 3 dpo.

I was going round Tescos with my mum earlier, when she proudly informed me that she had bought that 50 shades book, and did I want to borrow it after she'd read it? Shock Blush

Damn scarlett I knew there must be something I was doing wrong!! Blindingly obvious really!!!

ScarlettInSpace · 14/07/2012 20:40

I don't know much about knitting but if you're trying to knit lace into toffee I'd say that's where you're going wrong love ;)
