I'm loving the wedding dress pictures!! You look lovely!

Well I moved from the West Midlands 2 years ago and I now live in the Middle East. So a long way from all of you and 2 hours ahead.

@flatwhite I'm also a primary teacher- we have 3 more teaching weeks left of this year and my voice is just about holding up at the moment!

Hi everyone! Haven't been on for a little while as holidaying down in Cornwall at the moment 😄

I'm on CD29 but have got a pad on as feeling the early signs of AF starting, don't think this would be our month as we haven't really been trying as much as usual.

Love all the wedding dresses so gorgeous!

@Misty - I now read all your posts in a Welsh accent 🙈 Love it!

I'm from Folkestone in Kent, so right down South! So awesome how we are all spread round the place!

Flatwhite31 · 10/05/2017 17:00

That should say I'm not into it!

Flatwhite31 · 10/05/2017 16:59

I'd tell my DH where to go in the morning on a week day, LOL! I get up at 6am every day so I can get to school early to prepare for the day, do marking etc. Weekends are different though Wink. I'm not it at the moment with the spotting and sore throat (and work stress), but I reckon it'll be different in my FW. I was wanting it loads last month during that time! Apparently our bodies are designed to do that? So clever, although frustrating when it doesn't work!

Pibbee · 10/05/2017 14:22

@ttc thats annoying! But I had a random 30-day cycle a couple of months ago. Keep us posted!

Yeah i think it is very hard for my friend - her and her DH were trying for ages and nothing was happening, went for tests and it turns out that her tubes were destroyed by her appendix bursting when she was about 11!

Two more months for me and then I'll be off to the docs myself ( its recommended to go after 6 months not 12 if you are 35 or over....)

Hi everyone just catching up! You've all been chatting away so much yesterday Grin.

Twisted you look stunning in that photo! Your dress and bouquet are beautiful 😍.

Misty good luck OPK'ing! I know you love an excuse to POAS Grin.

Pibbee sorry AF arrived Flowers. Fingers crossed for your friend, that must be so hard for them!

Emma I'm a strong believer in things happening for a reason! So at the end of the day if you did conceive earlier than you planned, then there's a reason for it happening then! And you would make it work I'm sure Smile.

CD31 here and another BFN this morning, so don't know what's going on (as usual!). I'm only using IC's so I think I'll have to buy a FRER if AF still doesn't arrive tomorrow. The IC's are supposed to be the sensitive type but it won't do any harm to use a FRER apart from to my bank balance Grin.

Pibbee · 10/05/2017 11:25

I have just downloaded the Ovia app as I have seen it mentioned in a lot of threads on here. Yay another means to obsess about all this! Grin. It's already telling me totally different FW days compared to Fertility Friend! Great!

Pibbee · 10/05/2017 09:41

I love the Geordie accent! Mine is dead boring.....Just Southern-sounding. I went to uni up north and loads of people said I was "well-spoken"....I dislike the fact that I don't really have an accent!

Back to the pee-sticks then @Misty.... I am not gonna do them this month but that's mostly cos I am away for the vital days so no bloody point! Grin

DP tried to jump me this morning but i had to fend him off cos it's full on AF....Feel a bit bad now cos I hate it when I'm up for it and he isn't. Oh well.

My really good mate is having IVF and is having embryoes put in today, so I have got everything crossed for her!

MistyBxx · 10/05/2017 09:33

I lived with a Newcastle girlie when I was a holiday rep! Love her! Love the accent. Everyone thought we sounded so alike, I think it's because south Welsh and Newcastle are both "singy songy" kind of accents see 😂 she came down for my wedding in September and it WAS a huge trek! Do it if you can though, it is beautiful here 😍

That made me LOL about the dtd... it is sooooo much better isn't it 😂🙈
My af is finished today. Literally spotting. So gonna start opk Sunday (cd10) and see how it goes... again 😳xx

littleemma1 · 10/05/2017 08:51

@crumpledhoodie I was yes, for 11 years and I came off to see what my periods were like which turns out not great! Not gonna bother as it's only gonna be around 6-9m before we start again and I don't wanna mess my body up even more than it already is

See I knew it, we have people from all over the country!
I would love to visit wales @misty but it's quite a trek for us! I speak to a lot of people at work from wales and they think I'm Scottish 🙈😂

Sooooo, this may be TMI but we've shared so much on here..... OH and I are finding it difficult to stop TTC as the sex is so good at the mo when he's y'know, finishing inside, rather than pulling out like we were. I've told him we need to stop it and put our sensible hats on like we agreed which he also said yes too but it just feels soooooo good we keep getting carried away 🙈

MistyBxx · 10/05/2017 01:17

Oh flat I love that dress! Sheer backs are so classy with a big hint of sexy 😍 beaut!
I'm from Swansea in South Wales!
Wales is known for for rain and sheep 😂😂😂
Although not so many sheep in Swansea city... but I actually live just outside Swansea on the Gower peninsula near the sea... anyone seen the new Lloyds bank advert? The beach the horse is galloping on at the end is Rhosilli beach, best beach in uk (so they say lol) 20 mins from me. My claim to fame. A bank advert 😂😂😂

Flatwhite31 · 09/05/2017 21:29

@MistyBxx just noticed the picture of your gorgeous dress! Wow! Absolutely stunning.

I've got a very sore throat this evening. One of the joys of being a primary school teacher...

Flatwhite31 · 09/05/2017 17:52

Hi ladies! Aww you look gorgeous Twisted! I'm in West Berks (near Reading). I'm originally from Scotland, but have lived down south for nearly 9 years (that has flown!). Here's a pic of the back of my dress. I really wish I could wear it again!

Pibbee · 09/05/2017 16:43

I live in London!

littleemma1 · 09/05/2017 16:09

I'm a northern girl, Newcastle 😊 So already we've got 2 completely different ends lol!

Twistedsister7 · 09/05/2017 14:57

I bet you're right Emma.

I'm from Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, famous for our floods!! Work in Worcestershire which is the next county.

littleemma1 · 09/05/2017 14:33

Ps. I'm curious to know, where's everyone from? I bet we've got all end of the countries here!

littleemma1 · 09/05/2017 14:31

Aw please stop with the MIC 🙈 I can't stand that programme! 😂
Anything like that just makes me cringe so hard out of my own bloody skin! It's just too fake for me, gimme a good Netflix series any day over that.
I agree @ttc, do not write that BFP off just yet!!
@pibbee like the others have said, slight variation is normal, I don't think you'd ever find a woman who a to the day and date every time.
Bad boys are my guilty pleasure and still get me hot under the collar but it's only fantasy 💁 I like to look but they'd irritate me so much 😂 Same as @misty really, OH is amazing but by god I have to work had for his attention some days!
Ps. Absolutely no idea how to start a new thread that everyone can find.

MistyBxx · 09/05/2017 14:31

Well we're ok for the next 80 posts so I will make one as we get a bit closer 😊

Twistedsister7 · 09/05/2017 12:35

We need a new thread soon!! Does anyone know how?!

MistyBxx · 09/05/2017 10:19

twisted you look gorgeous!! love the lace going down into the skirt and that train!! 😍
I'm feeling so weddingy 😂 I need a new laptop coz my old one is broken and it's hard to blog on my iPad, so I think a trip down to pc world is in order, I need to get my wedding blog published!!
Oh pibbee it finally arrived properly then. TBH 24,25,29 and 30 are not massively different, were you on pill before? When I started tracking, mine were 28, 32, 39, 30, 29, 28, 28, 28... bfp lol. Honestly don't worry, your body is getting into routine, and a difference of 1 to 7 days can be normal, take that off your worry list chick! And harry barren is defo a bad boy who I also totally would have fancied... why do we do that to ourselves in our youth? If I ever have a daughter I swear I will die when her heart gets broken like mine did in my teens and early 20s... I LOVED a bad boy lol. Still do if I'm honest. Hubs is NOT a cheater/nasty or anything like that, but he's not overly romantic and deep, he makes me work hard for his affection... but it keeps me on my toes 😂
ttc you're not out til the red lady waves her flag lol.xx

Pibbee · 09/05/2017 09:44

Lovely pic @twisted! :)

Twistedsister7 · 09/05/2017 09:27

Awww Misty you look beautiful! I love a good wedding!! Here's mine...
