What's the drink swap move??

alex (sorry I shorten all names, tell me if you hate it) have you been temping or using OPKs? When is AF due? Which brand are you planning to test with? (Nosy, moi?? Grin)

Good deflection btw! Get used to it! Try the drink swap move with DH too? It can be quite fun...as long as he sticks to the rules!

Ooh I want a chocolate egg now!

merkin about the symptoms, my boobs are sore when I squeeze them really hard (but then they would be, wouldn't they?!). I've been a bit tired and dizzy today, and I've had browney pink spotting which COULD be implantation spotting! Guess I'll know tomorrow morning either way because I'm going to crack at 11dpo and POAS! It's brilliant you got a BFP Smile

Thunderbuns · 16/03/2013 18:01

These are all novemberies tho eh? Maybe it's an extra determined effort before Christmas bfps are a risk?

Thunder it's cos nobody seems to want a Christmas baby and nature is getting its own back!
Third night out and not drinking, perfecting the art of telling people I'm on a health kick (to which they all snigger) and when stupid fuckers people ask if I'm pregnant my comeback is "are you saying I look fat?" which both deflects and means I don't have to lie!

We've had 8 bfps recently on the mc thread, something in the water? Spring has sprung?!

Bunnygirlie · 16/03/2013 17:54

Lol will save the strip for later, I gave in and after 15 choc free days I am eating a chocolate egg nom nom nom Grin

cherrycoconut · 16/03/2013 17:46

Barking It could be you! Here's hoping the law of sod works its magic and gives you a BFP this cycle!

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 17:38

And chocolate. Obviously.

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 17:37

I suggest taking Merkin's advice and have a strip. Then you'll only be wearing the not so perfect dress for a short amount of time anyway.

Happy to help Grin.

Bunnygirlie · 16/03/2013 17:26

Having a strip has made me smile, which I needed.

Sorry for being a moaning old cow, I'm just usually so organised, I guess my mind has been on other things (yes I am blaming the berries lol)

bunny there is nothing worse overlook the slight exaggeration than not having the right thing to wear, I regularly have strips about it. It doesn't solve your dilemma I'm afraid, could you borrow something?

Eat chocolate bunny. If you ever need it, it sounds like it's now.

Bunnygirlie · 16/03/2013 16:58

God what a whiner I am, maybe I should have stayed missing!

Bunnygirlie · 16/03/2013 16:57

Hey berries, sorry I've been MIA, hope you all missed me!

I am in one heck of grumpy mood, irrationally emotional and wanna cry, and what is the very important reason for this I hear you cry, a dress, I don't have a nice dress to wear to a posh do tonight because eBay is crap and the one I ordered is too big and I don't like any of the others I have! Nearly cried in front of my folks and threw a strop saying I don't wanna go! If I don't shake this mood before I go out (in a dress I hate) I will have a miserable night and DH will hate me for being a whingebag!

I haven't eaten chocolate all month so now I may just go and gorge!

Thunderbuns · 16/03/2013 16:44

Hi all. Marking place on shiny new thread.

Congrats on line tal, sounds like a good idea to get yourself to a specialist ASAP?

Anyone else watching the rugby?

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 16:43

I had a ridiculously hot bath the other day so it can't be that bad!

Cavort · 16/03/2013 16:35

Merk make sure you don't have your bath too hot. No higher than normal body temperature Grin

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 16:23

Boodle was just wondering how far ahead of me you were as I'm at the end of cycle 15 but some of them have been 37 days long so I get fewer cycles in the same time frame!!
I have been so light since coming off the pill that I honestly can't tell the difference between spotting and AF. I just count the first sign of red stuff as CD1 as I really don't have a clue. I could probably cope without tampons for the whole duration as I'm on the minis, and most days that's too much! I might have one heavier day, but even that I would still classify as light, and there's no pattern to where the heavier day falls.

Boodle your bfp date isn't on the stats either... Tut tut.
I, disgustingly, am still in Pj bottoms and a jumper and have not left the sofa since I got up Shock however DH has now gone to the pub so I have am thinking about a bath and going to join him for an exciting lime and soda!

Hi everyone welcome alex. Thought I'd better hop on & off the sausage shuttle quickly before DP gets home which is any minute now. I don't want to have to explain yet again that I am not having an affair by phone. Two BFPs in a week on the last thread so lets hope the berry luck & law of sod continues!
