So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!

WARNING: TRIPLE P (PITY PARTY POST) BELOW

WFT is going on with my stupid body!! CD33, now on the eleventh day of "high" on the CBAFM, -ve OPKs still. I actually pulled the stupid piss sick out of the machine after getting the reading this morning and snapped it in half!! I can't have missed ovulation because I temp as well. In fact for the past two days my temps have crashed down to 35.97!! Seriously wallowing here!!!

Phew lol

Thanks girls x

Don't hide!

moo - bloody hell, glad you've had such a positive outcome though and have done so well! I'm no medical expert but I'd say that plumbing and your ttc plumbing are totally separate so hopefully you will conceive without any help. Nothing is tmi here

Oh god it was wasn't it?!

hides

At risk of being told off by prty, TMI?

Heeeeeee the old intestine thing gets em every time lol

Let's just say due to horrible disease, when I was 30 I had my entire large intestine removed, including the ahem bottom bits.

Appendicitis? Ain't gonna get it.
Piles? Ain't gonna get em.
Farts? Wasn't me.
Pooing in public toilets? Don't have to do it :D

Might sound horrible to you but it was the best thing I ever did. 5 and a half stone pale sick weakling to 8 and a half stone healthy me! The only possible piss on my parade is the possibility of not being able to conceive naturally. One more month of trying then off to the quack for me.

moo - sounds similar to us - we've done a new kitchen, then loft conversion now just knocked through so dining room and lounge are one room, I'm absolutely sick of falling over things or leaving house covered in dust etc etc, will be so glad when it's all done. We've done most of it ourselves too! I feel your pain about no kitchen soon though - it's bloody horrible (but worth it in the end)
Half your intestines missing sounds an interesting story you can share if you ever feel like it! My body has gone on strike - literally - the last 2 months I've not had af just a bit of brown spotting - WTF is going on in there I'll never know - it's not the pill as have been off it since June last year and sadly ttc the entire time - just weird.
Ooh pirsy I like a good nose on right move too! Can you ask them to put it on so we can see?!
I've skyplussed Unforgotten so haven't seen it yet but yes try to avoid scary stuff when dh on nights!

Ooh pirsy I do like a good nose on rightmove!

Good luck with it all x new houses are so exciting

I really hope our offer is accepted too! The house needs some work but is on a lovely street ... I would do a link for you to look at it but it's not even on rightmove yet. At least this is giving me something else to focus on!

On the just chatting theme - has anyone watched Unforgotten yet? I watched it last night, it was good I think but DH was on nights and I felt a bit scared when I went to bed.

PS my body is officially more stupid than all of yours put together. Unless any of you have half your intestines missing as well (don't even ask).

We're just gearing up for the major renovation kitten - knocked through kitchen and dining room, next up gutting the whole room, plastering and electrics, then a complete new kitchen, including tiled floor etc.
But, like a pair of mentalists, we're doing it all ourselves.
No kitchen for 3 weeks at the end of the month! Gah!

moo - I know the annoying thing about dust everywhere - we're having major renovations in our house at the moment and the dust is everywhere!! I mopped the floors today to get rid of it then when it dries was bloody dusty again so had to mop it again!!
Dinner sounds yum
Just chatting is good too, otherwise I'd just be moaning about my stupid body!!

Sorry, that post had nothing to do with TTC did it?

#justchattingisthatok

Evening all bends knees like policeman

Today we have replaced 4 sockets (including digging out holes in the walls for the backboxes, filling, sanding and all the rest of the buggering about, and repaired a plasterboard ceiling. Bloody dust everywhere. The joys of new houses eh?
Dinner therefore is pizza (pizza express from Tesco though. Posh!) and perchance a chip or two. Too knackered to do anything else.

Hi everyone.. shary based on my ovia app my luteal phase is 11 days.

Good news about the house pirsy fingers crossed your offer is accepted. I work in estate agency so love talking houses

My Facebook has been full of people moaning about their kids this weekend.. Makes me annoyed, they should be thankful they have them. Going to try not go on as much.

Bringing Doritos to the table whilst X factor is on....

pirsy - ttc is so draining. I've known that too with all my BFNs. I am happy to say I have never bothered with Facebook and I imagine it is full of scan and bump pictures which would really hurt.
Exciting news about the house, fingers crossed your offer is accepted!

Shary I'm not sure about my luteal phase, but based on when I have used OPKs I think it is 14 days

I'm sorry for everyone feeling down at the moment. TTC is very draining. Bex I know what you mean about the BFNs, I have sort of known every time I have POAS that it is going to be a BFN. I just don't understand how some people make it look so easy. I would say to avoid Facebook, it is always full of bumps, pregnant announcements and newborns!

Non-TTC news we saw a house today that we both really like. DH is ringing up in the morning to put an offer in!

Hi everyone, hope you've all had nice weekends. Sorry to anyone who's feeling down at the moment, that's where I am at the moment too. Feel a bit lost to be honest. I'm sick of the whole ttc thing.
To join in the planning things conversation- it's difficult isn't it. You don't want to have to tell people why you don't want to do things but it's difficult to say no sometimes.
shary - I think when I was ovulating my luteal phase was 12 days.

Thanks for your feedback about LP ladies. -ve OPK again this afternoon (I use a CBAFM in the morning, cheapie OPKs in the afternoon not that I'm POAS mad or anything....
Writing this cycle off before it's began if I'm honest. Think it might be one of those anovulatory cycles

Hey all...well 7DFAFD and no symptoms except headaches, very slight soreness of boobs on and off so thinking maybe this isnt the month but not sure still should see some kind of action this week as AF is meant to be next sunday and I rarely go to day 28.

I don't think you should put your life on hold for other people but if there's a financial cost involved it's different - it's just impossible to explain to people (they'd probably think we were crazy not agreeing to do something in a years time just in case we are PG when they don't know about TTC!)

Oh well, maybe they'll be equally as cray cray one day and then they'll get it

Planning things like that is a proper arse - it's a friends 30th soon and the plan is currently to buy her a spa day as a present for a group of us to go together - at the back of mind I'm thinking "I might be pregnant - then I won't be able to go!" but well....I might not be. People always say you can't put your life on hold, and of course you can't, but it's hard to know what to do when you have to commit money to things.
