Christmas is here but it's not the turkey that's getting basted... with symptoms to spot and festive cheer, Prty and the gang are getting BFPS this year!!

I just didn't know it would be this hard..this is the first month it seemed like it might happen and it has hit me soo hard

Evening had a crappy day at school, just didn't want to talk to anyone , so angry and frustrated and want to cry all the time. Not sure if it was a chemical as not much clotting but lots of cramps.... a few people said just chill perhaps stop trying for a bit but with my age am so scared of how little time we potentially have left to try anyway.
Plus how exactly do you switch off from it, have decided no opk this month but will continue to temp but that's all...each time we dtd I will be thinking about it I know....grrr so frustrated

Tomorrow flowers. After cramping on and off last week, am not getting my normal pre AF symptoms today. Although can't read too much into that as I generally don't suffer too badly from symptoms anyway

Like the holiday plans Snowy - just what you need to do in Jan, TTC or not! Take it no sign of AF yet? Remind me again when you are due?

Hippy - how often do you have acupuncture sessions? Trying to do some research and some say once a week, some say once a month. Concerned as weekly will work out v expensive!

Only reason I have anything booked is because my cousin is getting married in South of France. Didn't want to hold out until I knew for definite if i was going to be able to travel and then miss out on accommodation so decided to go ahead and book, made sure everything was fully refundable though.

Hotels for Marseille and Nice booked at lunch today

Haha snowy love your style, I've also been looking at holidays for June. It takes my mind off it for all of 15 minutes!

Glitter all i have done at work today is pee so i can check if AF has arrived, oh yes and book holidays for July which if i do get a BFP this month i will have to cancel. Am trying a bit of reverse psychology on my body with that one

flowers sorry to hear about your doctors appointment getting cancelled.. That and the baby bomb... What a day! You deserve chocolate cake I think

Hope your ok hippy those symptoms sound full on, keep us posted!

Nice to hear from you pirsy I love yoga but haven't done it in months and months! I maybe should start again as it's wonderful to help me relax!

Well it's the first time I've know to have ovulated for a long time.. All I've done at work today is day dream about when I'd start my maternity if I could conceive this time. I need to stop this......

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!! So annoying, stupidly delighted, self-involved and unable to think of anyone else best work colleague has her second scan at 11am tomorrow. I went out for lunch on my own in a bid to avoid her but somehow bumped into her so she was able to not only remind me but also promise me that she will SEND ME A PICTURE!!!!!

Hi all, just checking in at lunchtime. Still just very lightly spotting! I wish it would just hurry up and come. I've got horrid period headache, cramps, back-ache, and my boobs are getting weird stabbing pains. Don't know why I'm so hormonal this month, but hoping it will go away soon!
Sorry not to respond properly to anyone. Will check in properly this eve!
Welcome back Pirsy! Sorry about your weird short cycle! At least you're on to the next one now! X

PIRSY!!! Lovely to hear from you lady. I am sorry about AF but pleased you feel relaxed. Do drop back in when you can, keeping all crossed for you this cycle xxx

Hi ladies, thought I would pop back to say hi. I had a really good month of 'relaxing' - filling my time with yoga and work and actually did quite a good job of not thinking about TTC. Then CD22 had bright red bleeding - I never get bleeding that early - so even though we had barely DTD I started to get excited and think it might be implantation. Anyway, then AF came few days later so was just a weird short cycle. More babybombs on Saturday too - an old work colleague - 3rd baby. Anyway, its back to the yoga and I am thinking its time to give acupuncture a go too. Good luck to all of you. Xxx

Kitten if i had will power I wouldn't have had to leave my purse at home today

Hippy I need all the relaxing vibes i can get. I'm an accountant and this being the end of tax return season its one of my busiest weeks of the year and all i can do is run out to the toilet to see if AF has arrived or not. If she is going to make an appearance this month i hope she does it promptly as i don't know if my job career can handle all the distraction this week

mrs - yes could just be a weird longer cycle - it happens a lot. Try not to worry, it's bloody frustrating though. Maybe you ovulated a lot later than you thought. It's happened to me before

I took a test Wednesday and yesterday morning - BFN which I am not surprised about. I just think it is a weird cycle (not unheard of right?) either that or it is something more sinister

We were all typing at the same time

Oh no mrs! Just seen your post. Have you got a test in you could do?

Good luck mrs! Have you taken a test in the last couple of days? That light spotting sounds confusing.
snowy - I'm impressed with your will power!
hippy - sorry to hear about spotting but onwards and upwards with next cycle! I've heard back from acupuncture clinic, they're sending me out a fertility questionnaire- that should be straightforward to fill out - I'm not fertile at all!

Can't bloody believe it! Just about to leave for Drs when the phone rings - it's the surgery saying she is not in today and it's been cancelled! So still no AF and still no closer to any answers! Really annoyed!

Sorry! I always get the Mrs confused!!
Good luck at the docs today Flowers! I hope you get some answers! It must be very weird to have a 39 day cycle if you're not used to it!
Snowy sending relaxing vibes to you! Not long to wait now!
Kitten only a tiny bit of spotting this morning, hope she shows her face promptly, and doesn't keep me waiting!! I'm actually glad to have work to keep me busy today. And I feel less hormonal today - phew! I've been so hormonal all weekend. Horrid. Last period I didn't get PMT at all!
Have a good day all!

I'm off to the Drs this morning! Thanks all! Think she will just send me back for more bloods as this round is most likely screwed now because of crazy cycle

Great news Glitter! FX for you this month!

Any more spotting Hippy?

I must say I questioned the full moon too! Anyway it's CD39 and VERY light spotting again! Who the F knows what is going on but I am really hoping its AF! I need to write this cycle off and move on!

Oh sorry kitten I must have misread.. Good luck for who over is at dr's this morning! I forgot who wrote it

Thanks hippy

I've just downloaded that baby making bible, heard so many good reports about it!

Don't worry hippy, I am resolutely not testing unless a couple days late. Even refused to put my purse in my bag when leaving for work so I can't go out and buy them DBAFD1 so one way or another I will know soon.

I'm not at the docs tomorrow! I think it's someone else?!
hippy - yes at least cycle over now.
I'm cd9 tomorrow- full of optimism- I'm pathetic really, you'd think after 19 months I'd calm down

I meant yay!
