Yay for pay rise!

I remember you saying that now nic, sorry. Referred to app and usually seems to be 11-12 days after smiley. So anytime now! Our bodies don't do anything they are supposed to though so who knows!

Hi Bat!! Welcome to the mad house!!

This week has been fab so far - got a pay rise yesterday!!! which was the most lovely surprise!!

Day 28 and finally the cb monitor says low and the m starts flashing. No tests in the house so no poas until Saturday - I'm gonna do my best to hold out. I don't think it's worked this month & seeing not pregnant would break my heart, especially after that run of announcements. So if no AF by Saturday, then I'll test. Fx everyone please!!!

My wedding dress is in a box, having been cleaned, under the spare bed at my mums. I love it so much, every now & again I go & sneak a peak at it while I'm visiting mum & dad!!!

Oooooh, what can you make it into? Could you bare it to be cut up though??

2ww is longer when you ov early, promise! I don't know where I am! 11 days post smiley but 9 days before AF. I'm all confused!

I know Kettering too! DP family live in Market Harborough.

That sounds like a great chance to wear dress woody, what a nice idea. Also, I have not had experience of two smilies in one month so it does happen. Was expecting two again this month after first one on CD9 but have got to CD20 without another so given up now!!

woody I hope you're getting busy in the bedroom just in case this was it :-)

Ok thank you. So if I get another smiley in a few days, a week etc, I might not have actually ov when I got the first one?

nicola glad you had a good time at the concert.

letskiwithisthing I'm glad the baby shower went ok - I'm not sure how I'd feel about one of those at the moment. I went to one and I was the only non-mum there.

Dulcet glad it went well trying on the wedding dresses. I loved trying them on! I really want to wear mine again - I've heard about a ball in London for a breast cancer charity where everyone goes in their wedding dresses. My parents had mine cleaned while I was away on honeymoon and it's been packaged away ever since.

raspberriesandicecream I love Great British Bake Off! I've bought the cookbook so hoping to try out some of the recipes.

Blockette I can't believe the GP isn't interested for 6 months!

Hi bat

So, I started using CB digital OV sticks yesterday and got a smiley - this could be due to recent mc but there are definitely no hormones left in my system - my hcg was down to 2 in a blood test I had last Monday. So, if it is a sign of my surge, when does the 2ww start? Also, for people who use these, do you normally get one smiley a month or more?

You're like me lets. I also love staying in dreamland rather than poas and face bfn!
Nic Kettering is lovely! Been there for work. Good to finish work early too! Yeah I know what u mean, you may go haywire with all the excitement and stress!

Haha I may be tempted soon nic but right now can't say I have any symptoms except AF ones that I recognise!

So hard as I see on other threads ppl saying they had certain symptoms on their first or second children so they know what to look out for and I feel a bit clueless! Everything that I have .... cramps, backache and spots are the same that I have when AF shows! Haven't had any excessive tiredness, sore boobs, heartburn, funny taste, increased sense of smell or nausea so will hold off for the time being I think - at least then can daydream a bit longer :)

Yes we will all keep our fx for a BFP for the bride :)

Nic I'm of your resolve! No way would I have been able to have a shag after such a tiring day!
If no bfp u might have af on wedding day?! That would suck big time. It's only fair that u r pg this time!
Are u working till fri? Whereabouts is wedding? Must be near me
Dulcet what kind of dress are u having? I have tried over 60 a few so may be able to give u some ideas!
I'm on day two of my juice detox and currently peeing every 5 min!

Morning all, well still no AF but having the dull cramps still which is my usual sign she's on the way! Glad you got another one in Nic, really hope it's your month this month what with the wedding and everything! Would be lovely news!

Hi bat and welcome :)

Dulcet, did your friend have good news for you today - the one having ivf?

Having af style cramps here fx she doesn't show anytime soon for 9 months preferably

Would be a great pressie for him, hope you can squeeze it in with all the wedding prep! I'm excited for you!

Oh that would be an amazing wedding present :-) I hope you login to tell us before you fly off to Iceland! We will all be waiting on tender hooks!!
