Lolcbcblemonlime · 27/08/2012 21:06

Love the name almond! Hope it brings luck!
How was BH?

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 21:06

I approve. Grin plus avocados are yummy.

AlmondAvocado · 27/08/2012 21:02

Damn those AF's that have appeared! Still no sign here (except cramps).

Lol hiya! Saw you were on here too so thought I would join!

Do you ladies approve of my new name? Thought AlmondApple was too obvious...!

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 20:07

slattern you must have to have the fruit all cycle for it to be successful. Or maybe it's vegetables in September? Or autumn colours?
FrustratedAmberPants... What do ya think?

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 19:59

Thanks guys. Im just relieved to know where I stand. Although there's still a silly little part of my brain that doesn't believe it yet. That will be the lack of agonising cramps, Pah they'll come

September must be my month berri I have loads of distractions to keep me from obsessing too much

Hi pink will insure I can locate a KK retailer and stock up on donuts. must put pompoms in the wash too

ninja you'll be a nice predictable by the book cycle I promise. Wtf cycles are going to be banned in September.

Anyone know what a hot feeling uterus area of abdomen is a symptom off?

SuperSatsumaSlattern · 27/08/2012 19:50

frustrated and ninja Sad damn bloody fruit Smile

berri · 27/08/2012 19:35

Sorry frustrated I've been popping back to see how everyone is getting on
Sad

Everything crossed for Sept for you.

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 19:22

Unfortunately perpetual I have t a clue when I ovulated. I kinda thought I might have but I have no reason to think that really, just wishful thinking I suppose. We'll see if af arrives in full force or not.

IBelieveInPink · 27/08/2012 19:16

Aw frustrated sorry to hear about af. S'okay, I have a good feeling about September.... We can twirl more pompoms and donuts until bfps arrive at end of month :)

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 18:56

Maybe if you OV'd late. Do you have any idea when you did?

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 18:13

This late though perpetual? I'm on cd37 or 38 can't remember which.

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 18:05

Really sorry pineapple. Naughty AF!

Ninja, I say it's not over till it's over...possible implantation bleed?

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 17:55

Well I'm definitely spotting, so any minute now the floodgate will open. Really hope that long cycle was a one off cos its been fecking torture. Ah well.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 17:50

Ah no ninja Sad

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 17:43

Oh no frustrated I had all my fingers crossed as well! That evil evil af.

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 17:41

Well after having mild periody type pains earlier I now have slightly (tmi) darker discharge so think I'm probably gonna be out by the end of the day. Bit depressing that I've had to wait this long for af. Will let you lot know for sure so you can pour fruit on my head for BFP next month sympathise.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 17:35

Well I've saved myself from wasting £££ on pee sticks. I'd even planned which ones I was buying and where I was going to do them Blush

Hello CD1. how dare you be late you naughty AF. I said Sunday, did the bank holiday confuse you or something? Well I'm not having it again. Do you hear me? Now you can stay put for a few days whilst I decide what to do with you. Muuwahhaha.

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 16:59

Thanks pineapple, I needed that!

Definitely nothing to be jealous of here, other than a pile of wasted pregnancy tests and a bundle of nerves!

Somebody else please admit they are acting like a crazy person over this so I know I'm not alone! Grin

Bet your DH isn't complaining lemonlime! Mine will be disappointed if he misses out on the every other day I've committed to if we're still trying next cycle.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 16:50

perpetual !!! Shock step away from the pissy sticks. I'm just jealous

Lolcbcblemonlime · 27/08/2012 16:17

Hi almond nice to see you here
I am the queen of symptom spotting. Sense of smell sounds promising!
DH just came back from wkd away and I informed him of upcoming shag fest and that he is not to say no under any circumstances! I'm sure he will oblige Smile

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 16:13

I totally agree pineapple, there's no point in doing them in the middle of the day. But I couldn't help it after it struck me that I had that pregnant feeling, and in fact I have just pointlessly done another test of a different brand and am trying to conjure up a faint second line.

If I am still in this situation in a few days, I am seriously thinking about getting a blood test done.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 15:54

perpetual feel free to join me in my probably misguided belief that middle of the day Bfn doesn't count. unless you've abatained from drInking for 3+ hours? you still have until AF arrives.

I know it's hard not to get excited, or carried away and we're all guilty of a little of that but i'm trying to keep a toe or two grounded, the bump hurts less that way. I have a big cushion strapped to my butt for when AF arrives and I go bump.
But until then we can have hope, and FX for you.

Ooh get me being serious. wtf is happening to me?

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 15:42

Have just done another test after finding myself stuffing my face with biscuits to curb a bit of nausea. BFN again.

But something has changed today - I honestly feel pregnant. I had this feeling when I was pregnant with DS, but we were lucky enough to conceive the first cycle trying, so maybe it was just wishful thinking proved right. This is my first cycle trying after getting my period back this time, so it could be just wishful thinking now.

This is doing my head in. I am going to be so gutted if I am wrong.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 15:31

Did you only get 1 card almond ? We had a pack to start with. guess we'll have to play something else, unless someone else has any cards? ooh POAS addiction. We like them Grin
Not everyone gets symptoms. Fx.
