jelly the very best of luck for tmr

chookford can I have some banana bread?

I had to drink half a glass of wine tonight at a works do to put a sharp colleague off the scent. He noticed I hadn't drunk alcohol at the last event and we have a bigger night tmr, so Im hoping the wine tonight will give me a free pass for soft drinks tmr night. Sigh.
I ordered a large glass of wine and switched to water as soon as I could saying it was going to my head and I wanted to look professional. Hopefully he bought it.

Welcome lowra . Yes she is a bitch all right!

Just been scoffing some maltesers..fancy some?..

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 02/10/2012 20:17

Hi Lowra

Sorry AF got you :-( Will she be gone in time for some weekend shagging?

Fx for this cycle.

lowra · 02/10/2012 20:13

Thanks pinksky. The bitch got me good and proper, I wasn't expecting her for a few days. Feel exhausted with some pretty nasty cramping so I'm under the duvets already.
Going to have a few wines this weekend as we're going away. Onwards and upwards.

Any more bfps?

pinksky · 02/10/2012 20:06

Really sorry to hear that lowra You can join me in a glass or three of wine tonight then.

lowra · 02/10/2012 19:58

Any more room on the bus? I had an unwelcome visitor today but could still be on for an October bfp. I'm on cd1, don't really know when I ovulate but the plan for this month is look out for ewcm and loads of sex from about cd8. If it doesn't work then maybe get a bit scientific next month.

Congrats on the bfps so far and fx for all our passengers

AnotherCerealNameChanger · 02/10/2012 19:25

Thank you. Still stunned tbh

I swear dc knows, keeps pulling my top up and stroking my belly. V v odd

Sending sticky BFPs to those on the October bus

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 02/10/2012 19:24

Could be OV bleeding. Rare, but does happen.

Congrats, Cereal :-)

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 19:22

Evening ladies. Can you help?

I had a smiley on sat and Dtd then but this evening I had the tiniest bit of brown cm on my knickers(tmi) never had this before at this stage in my cycle.
Any ideas?

weechops · 02/10/2012 18:34

Congratulations cereal October is definitely off to a great start :)

ella0 · 02/10/2012 18:19

Congratulations cereal!

Thanks again for all the congratulations messages :) .

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/10/2012 17:09

purple - i had chemical pg the month before i got a real bfp and it really was so horrible. Sorry ur feeling down, know just how u feel

pinksky · 02/10/2012 16:31

Thanks for the welcome - nice full bus, think I'll park my bum on the luggage rack.

Purple sorry things are crappy and that you're away from your BF, that's tough. Don't lose hope for this month - like Taking says, it could well be pre-ov symptoms.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent decaf tea and coffee (instant or ground)? I just cut down on my normal caffeinated stuff last cycle but it would be nice to find replacements.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 02/10/2012 16:12

Thanks taking and jelly interesting to know about feeling like this pre-OV. I have been on the pill for so long never noticed before. Sorry to hear you had a CP Jelly.

hands out cake to everyone who wants it

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 16:05

I used the ordinary clear blue ones and then the digital ones which were dearer but easier as no guessing IMHO x

JellyCurls · 02/10/2012 15:44

I usr a fertility microscope that checks your saliva for ferning pre ov. One off buy and reuseable, got pcos so wasn't wanting to shell out for sticks for 4 month long cycles

TakingTheStairs · 02/10/2012 15:24

I used these ones from Clear Blue

Big congrats cereal, Grin Grin this is going to be a lucky bus, I'm just glad i can stay on for the rest of the month and congratulate you all on you BFP's

purple, rant away that's what we're here for.
If it helps I was mega moody and down in the days before I ovulated so I'm sure that the surge of hormones is making you feel like this.
You are doing the best you can, don't beat yourself up over it, you can't do any more than you are doing though I know you would like to. Really and truly, don't get cross with yourself, you'll get there.
(((hugs)))

can I have some cake too? Smile
