The May bus continues for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, stock up on more BastardSticks and just want to be upduffed by the green penis dragon!!

retro every chance it could still be a BFP though.... just a few more days and hopefully you'll get a corker of a line!

Well done for the presentation retro! Fx. And sorry for the line - so confusing. I think that one I got before my holiday was evap. meh.

Oh I know, I've fallen for IC cheapie evap lines too. But there's always a teeny part of you that wonders.

Got a giant bag of haribo, making it better

Afternoon ladies,

Retro Sorry about the house buying fiasco its not easy and id never do it again (we had to do it within a month).

MrsE I no the fags are tempting but its not worth it. Men really are stupid sometimes lol

AF is due today but no sign what so ever wore a pad incase but nothing not sure if the mid cycle bleed counted as AF and im all messed up but im proud to say I havent POAS

Its lovely and sunny here i wish i was outside sunbathing.

Oh Retro - you're having a very stressful time at the mo. I don't envy you in the slightest. Fx for the house/bank/mortgage (they shoudnt be able to change their mind if you were already approved before the rules changed) and also fx for the contract...would be lovely if a bit awkward to explain to get upduffed just after you became permanent .

I'm suuuuuper tired today. And I've got slight crampy/stabby feelings near my right hip which keep moving down to near my fanjo. It's probably all easily explained away by having just walked one of the dogs round the park for over 2 hours with a friend (who is also a current/new client) and prior to that taking the other two dogs out with my pony for a nice early morning ride and a mad canter through a big field! That and having to get up at 5am again to take OH to work. Cramps are probably due to me eating far too much not even hungry yet somehow I can't stop myself today! and then everything else is just a side effect of all if the above.

Can't help myself from listening to that little voice in my head that says "but what if they are SYMPTOMS?"

Bloody 2ww (or about 18 day wait in my case). It messes with my head every time.

Roll on May 24th when I will be POAS because AF is clearly not arriving this month because I'm obviously upduffed.

I've actually read about sooooo many false faint lines on ICs. I don't think they are to be trusted! I would wait until at least 11/12 dpo and poa-FRER. They are nice and reliable

You're not alone retro :p
Glad your presentation is over and done with :)
I agree with roll on half term!!!

Don't trust the Internet cheapies after the time limit, I've done that too many times! Fingers crossed for you :)

And just scrutinised the stick (IC) and there is a super faint probable evap line. So now I've got my hopes up again.

Waffling on today, sorry. I blame end of 2ww hysteria.

Well, I've done my ten minute presentation demonstrating my style and quality of teaching. Ten minutes ain't long

Feeling nervous now, but at least I don't have to teach in the morning I also feel a treat afternoon coming on for Friday. Involving a DVD and some crisps.

Roll on half term --not least of all for attempt no 7 at hitting ovulation! Currently bidding on a friends clearblue ov monitor, can't afford one new, but if it stays cheap it's mine! Yey for more sticks to pee on!

Too many exclamation marks. Going crazy.

Still early days retro. Fx!

Mmmm... God I could really go a fag right now. I only ever smoked during my finals and it was amazing. Stress levels right now are certainly comparable.

POAS. Bfn. Of course.

Oh no MrsE step away from the fag packet, DONT DO IT! It won't make you feel any better, you will just end up feeling bad about it, take it from someone who knows

I'm sorry retro! I think house buying is hard enough without selling as well. I've only ever managed either buying or selling but not both together

You have my complete sympathy, I've bowed out this month I'm so completely stressed! We've not even dtd once. Dh said, well you never know it might happen??? Errr how dear??? The magic sperm got me in the night while I was sleeping? or are we hoping for the immaculate conception!

I really hope things come through ok for you. I bought a pack of 10 fags yesterday. I haven't smoked for years. I haven't opened them yet but it's very very tempting.

POAS

Yes Retro poas

DO IT! POAS!!!! Sorry for the shouting. I love any poas action! I'm sure even if things are delayed slightly then you won't lose the house! Like you say, you don't want to lose your buyers, they won't want to lose theirs either!

I know! I don't even know if we have any comeback if it doesn't go through. We were just getting excited that it might all be about to go ahead. Will be devastated if we lose the house. Plus we don't want to lose our buyers, so we may have to go into rented, which I really don't want to do and will be a pain in the ass for so many reasons, but mainly the dog.

Tempted to POAS to make myself feel better a bfn won't bring me down any more than I already am, and a bfp is probably the only thing that will cheer me up right now.

That's awful retro! They shouldn't be allowed to do that!

Haha porn contract

That's really crap Retro!!!! Since you we're approved before the changes they shouldn't be allowed to do that!! Fx it all works out for you.

Haha

Kity fuck

DH has just called. We sign for the new house tomorrow and he just called the bank to check on a cash back offer that supposedly came with the mortgage. Apparently our mortgage has been sent back to the underwriters due to the changes which came in on the 14th. After our mortgage was approved. So now we have to wait up to 48 hours to find out if it has been approved and might not get the house...

FOR FUCK SAKE!!!!!!!!!! I will be fuming if it doesn't go through. They wouldn't even have told us if he hadn't happened to call today . Oh and there is also no cash back deal.

Feel sick. Really don't need this extra stress this week

Sorry, this board has now become my place for outpouring about life in general.

Fuck fuc

Woo hoo for toots

Haha, MissMrs, you just know this will be your lucky shag!

10 dpo and I flushed my fmu

ignores the fact that I've poaopk daily for the last week just for something to do

Boob pain seems to be easing now though, so am assuming it's progesterone related and my body has got used to it now. Trying not to symptom spot because I know we missed it, but it's nigh on impossible. I'm getting yet another fecking cold but have managed to convince myself the snots, phlegm and sore throat are silent reflux due to pg... I did feel like this last month too, so I'm now swinging between usual monthly symptom of AF and last month being a chem so I must be pg.

Someone hand me a grip please and tell me to go and prep for this interview...

I tried softcups as well as preseed this month. If you get softcups have a little practise with them first. They are very easy to use

poco they are called soft cups and are made by Instead.

Retro ooh no! you don't want a porn contract! Especially not if you might be pg soon!

Yay for toots and I love your clandestine testing! Tee hee!

Well, day 1 of not trying because of job situation and we DTD anyway...oops! It was actually really good because we shouldn't have been doing it, rather than doing it on demand! Yay for forbidden shagging!
