I've just ordered pretty much every product Kerastase has for thinning hair. DH will kill me!! Oops!! Also googled it - mistake!! Thinning hair along with my crazy cycles have led me to self diagnose PCOS.

macmissy · 02/05/2014 12:01

Maybe it is the Vitamin D actually! Doctor advised I take it with Folic to help - so I have. It's helped with the monthly AF cold sores too Thanks Mrs now I know why I am more wild than normal

macmissy · 02/05/2014 11:59

Oh no englishgirlabroad - I could do with mine thinning to be honest, I resemble the wild woman of Borneo! It'll come back, same happened to my bestie - she has it all back now though. Try not to let it annoy you. (easier said I know!) I would order a massage at the earliest convenience (what I try to do when I am feeling stressy)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 02/05/2014 11:59

English I've had the same at different times. Get yourself some vitamin D, my dear. You'll always be the sumptuously gorgeous Fanny waxer we know and love. I think hairdressers shouldn't say things like that. It would be like you saying to mrs muff, she had the biggest bush you'd ever seen! Wink

macmissy · 02/05/2014 11:55

Groovy - don't worry love, same here! It doesn't help that everywhere i look someone seems to be pregnant! TV, shops, work! This is outside of my friends, who have all got 3-5 year olds. Good things come to those who wait (I have said this more and more recently)

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/05/2014 11:55

Just to add insult to injury.... not only am I not getting pregnant, it appears the stress of it is also causing my hair to thin! Just been to the hairdressers and she said 'oh your hair's quite thin around the front'. Thanks for that! I'v always had fine hair but it has def got worse over the last 6 months. She said stress and hormonal issues can cause it. FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKING NATURE!!

Brummiegirl15 · 02/05/2014 11:46

Huge congrats LadyC - that's wonderful news.

Newly, sorry to hear your news. That is crap. Vino and banned foods it is!!!

My ovulation day is supposedly this Sunday but opk's aren't doing anything - so just going to do lots of DTD and kero fingers crossed.
Good luck to everyone else

NurseyJay · 02/05/2014 11:41

Hiya. If u don't mind I'll jump on board:

NurseyJay Age 29, TTC #1, Cycle 3, BFP due 20 May-ish

Groovyhatfeatherboa · 02/05/2014 11:41

Hello, can I hitch a ride please?

The stats: ttc #2, 29, cycle 6, af due on the 9th

Starting to feel crappy as AF is due in a week and I can't bear for her to arrive :-( Also feel crappy as it seems EVERYONE I know is on their baby no. 2 and not me :-(

I figured sharing my journey and reading your stories might make me feel more better :-)

ChandlersFarang · 02/05/2014 11:25

Hiya macmissy! And sending Newly lots of positive vibes for the next bus. Rough old game this one we're all playing isn't it?!

Just out of interest, as an amateur economist on my first bus ride, how many BFPs were announced on the April one? X x

macmissy · 02/05/2014 10:53

Good luck Kurama! I am sure there is a perfect pad out there for you somewhere!

Waffleyversatile · 02/05/2014 10:52

Congrats Lady

I did a first repsonse test this morning and got a negative result. the spotting i had for two days now seems to have stopped- still getting a bit of cramping. AF due Thursday. WTF is going on lol

Wouldn't it be great if you had a positive sign once you got pregnant like your wee turned a different colour ?!!

kurama · 02/05/2014 10:18

lol at missys oh! been to docs this morn and she asked if id done a test. i said yes and she just sat there looking at me hopefully untill i told her it was a bfn she said well id test again in a week..... she has more hope than i do! still trying to keep hopes up as af isnt due till 12th but as i seemed to have ovd so early its driving me crazy!

wish me luck with flat hunting/seeing current landlord to see if we might be able to stay were we are fx.

hope everyones ok today Dragon Dragon rawr Grin

macmissy · 02/05/2014 09:59

Thanks Mel! I already feel very welcome Grin

Hormones are a killer Newly - OH said 'oh god I can't wait until you get your pregnancy ones' Sarcastic sod he is!

Why don't you have a month without the opk's? see how different you feel without them? Maybe they're adding to the stress of it all?

Han - I hope so! I LOVE things like that!

hanflan · 02/05/2014 09:55

Also a colleague, who I don't usually chat to that much, came up to me this morning and said "I had a dream last night that you came into work and told everyone you were pregnant!". Bit weird, but maybe it's a sign?! haha!

NewlymrsB · 02/05/2014 09:55

Mmm pate! This is true and I'm sure there is a reason that it hasn't happened so far etc just these bloody hormones making it all seem worse lol sorry to dampen the exciting news of a bfp. Going to have a break this stress can't be helping lol. Whoever said this would be easy?!

Nordicmom · 02/05/2014 09:54

Right have officially taken this month off which feels weird after going for it last 6 cycles . I'm just feeling too unwell and still coughing after 2 lots of antibiotics. I'm wondering when the hell will I ever get better Its been a month at least . My mom's wondering if I'm getting asthma but have been checked for it before and nothing also never otherwise have coughing except with these quite rare chest infections . Also when coughing there's something coming up so I thinks it's a infection / virus and nothing else . It was a bit annoying to miss the opportunity since I knew when I ov but I can't stand the constant nausea either so I have to get better first I guess and enjoy the dc I'm lucky to have just still have the yearning for one more bundle and dread the time running out ...good luck to the rest of you , I hope to join you on the June bus :)!

hanflan · 02/05/2014 09:54

Morning all!

lady Congratulations, first bfp of the bus! Grin
linda there is still time. I know everyone always says this but you're not out until AF shows up haha. There are so many stories about women who didn't get a bfp until really late!
newly so sorry AF got you Sad get on the wine tonight!

macmissy · 02/05/2014 09:40

Chaircat don't forget about the smoked meat & pate!

Newly you could have a positively wonderful platter - then you can prepare for AF to do a swift one! Damn those hormones, my work colleagues hate me when she rears her ugly head!

MelMc73 · 02/05/2014 09:40

sorry to hear that newly but keep thinking positive thoughts and I think it is important to relax as well.....easier said than done I know Thanks!

linda I saw a very faint line but I think you should wait to see if af shows up tomorrow and buy a pack of first response to do one on Sunday if af doesn't show up....at least you will have another one for next month as well if required.....they are only about 8 quid in Asda I noticed. I'm going to get a pack today and do a test tomorrow which is 10dpo and then again on Tuesday if no af.......still unsure what this cycle will actually be!

welcome macmissy!

enjoy your weekend English. If it was me I'd be having a few glasses of fizz!

Happy Friday everyone DragonDragonDragon!!

NewlymrsB · 02/05/2014 09:34

Thanks :) you ladies keep me going! Other half just said no point getting yourself worked up it will happen when it does!! Yes I know that but a bit of sympathy wouldn't go amiss!!! AF hormones are well and truly here! lol

ChaircatMiaow · 02/05/2014 09:24

newly take the next few days to allow yourself to be disappointed. May I suggest stuffing your face with prawns, soft cheese and loads of booze?

You know, all the stuff you won't be able to have soon because you're getting back on the bus and getting your bfp!! Wink

gennibugs · 02/05/2014 09:20
