Hut of Gl/Doom tercera- We hate babydust and we don't care.

Shit, I'm so sorry...I didn't get a BFP, it was a BFN! Now I've unnecessarily created an atmosphere of happiness which was not only unintended but also unjustified.
The supidest thing is, when I was typing that post earlier I stopped and though "p for positive and n for negative so I need an n" and then bloody typed a p!!!
And that means my post didn't make sense either cos there would have been no reason for my split-self to have been smug, etc, etc.......

I will now and go and write out one hundred times, "I must read posts more carefully".

Sorry, FMN.

I get the same symptoms as Sunshine along with being obsessed as to whether I am pregnant or not. Not sure if anyone can relate to that?

Hmmm - thinking of changing my name to BringerofGloom as I have seen FMN talking about her BFN.... could it have been a typo???

Shaky Arm thing - how annoying for you Soreheart.... yet mildly amusing to an outsider (sorry ) . I just get very down, crampy and clumsy. Nice.

Hello All... a BFP for FMN....ooohhh and blimey. That's terrific.

Have just spent the last 3 days feeling pretty sure I was getting all the right symptoms for a BFP, myself. But have just developed what I call 'shakey arm' which is a typical sign of AF in my world. This probably sounds like madness but it is a characteristic of my cycle and has been for YEARS. I don't want to move now in case I can feel any twinges, if I just stay still it might still be good. However, it's 19.18 (according to the 'puter) and I must go home and feed myself.

By By Hell.

Pasta Bake, anyone?

Sunshine. There is no such thing as "too gloomy" in the hut. And lord only knows we have tried. It's what it was created for. Please gloom away.

Duchesse - are your kids ok? That really is just shite. I live in one of those areas where you expect that sort of thing to happen but children getting beaten up never fails to shock me. I really hope they are ok. Horrible.

Have been at work all day, and am still on 4.30 starts with ds so am exhausted. None of which compares with the news that my colleague's 18 year old son, who has been having treatment for cancer for nearly a year now, has been told that they can only prolong his life now, as they can't save it. Just how do people deal with that? I have no idea. It's unbearable.

oh, thats fab honey congrats {{hug, but very carefully}} sit down now and rest!

sunshine, dont go. thats what the huts for!

A BFP?! Woo-hoo!!! That's fab! Congratulations!

[peeks from behind an old bean bag - having pretended to leave]

You got a BFP???

Oh sunshine, don't feel that you have to go. You can carry on with your misery here if you want to.
One of my split personalities is currently having an "I told you so moment"! CD28, no period but really obvious PMS PLUS only had sex twice in whole month, neither at a particularly good time. Yet just now I decide to do a test and got a BFP. I laughed at myself as soon as I did it cos it was just TOO stupid! So now I have the really smug part of me telling the stupid part of me how very stupid I am!

Hi fellow hut dwellers - I think my PMT induced hyper-gloominess is too much even for here. Sorry.
Think I'll skulk off for a day or two and try to come back with a little more sunshine.
I haven't felt this out of sorts for ages.
Take care, Sx

Are they confusing magpies with sneezing....
Once a wish
Twice a kiss
Three a letter
Four something better

I mean, what could possible be better than a letter.......{hmm}

LOL sideways
well done beckle - I missed that at the bottom of the page - was too distracted by outrageous 70's hairdo's!!

A bird you must not miss???

Not likely to miss 10 magpies sitting in front of you, are you?

don't remember it but have heard of it! Murgatroyd the Magpie definitely rings a bell!
and it says this on the bottom of the page you linked to - "Eight's a wish, Nine's a kiss, Ten is a bird you must not miss."

I have 2 dogs who have no probs catching sweet furry rabbits but they cant seem to catch the bloomin magpie

Anyone remember this - or am I the only old barren saddo

secret + sorrow? In which case add up any combination to equal 8?

always thought 7 was a bit of a cop out myself...
and what do you do if you see 8???

1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a secret never told

(I think)

So what is the rule on magpies? I'm piecing together 1 is unlucky, 2 is lucky, 3 you need to cross your fingers, or is that paving slabs, or ladders? I'm only superstitious when it comes to believing in the mindreading abilities of a mid-fallopian-tube egg.

BTW, MiserableStormyMorning, I also get period-like cramps on the week run-up to my period. Always interpret it as implanting/womb stretching one moment, then impending period the next. Yes, we are increasingly unhinged.

Don't know if you want to bother comparing your body to that of a reproductive-incompetent though.

Docs gave me a day 21 test and results were all rubbish, went to see a consultant who told me that a day 21 test is only really useful if you have a regular 28 day cycle so he sent me for a day 1-3 test (which I had today).
As for the Magpie, could you get an agressive cat? Magpie gone, no bad karma for you! I had one move in next to me - throughly depressed me. A few weeks later another moved in and I thought 'great, maybe some good luck!'
Then a week later the local council came and coppiced all the trees so the magpies (and their luck) have pissed off again. I wonder if I could sue?

Sunshinedays, honey, I think you need a temporary name change to RainyNights! Not that I would be criticising you for feeling so rubbish, of course. This is the Hut, and life does indeed stink. Anyway, I love rainy nights. Poor you for feeling so rotten at the moment.

Thanks for the graph. It did indeed make sense, and is very reassuring because it clearly suggests that if I was 19.5 a few days after the peak I might well have been 30+ at peak. As for celebrating being such a complex beast, well perhaps I will if I ever make a creature appear from my nether regions.
