Hi Minnie - is that a persona you're looking for? Someone (sorry can't remember who but this thread is sooooo long Bibi??) bought one off ebay for a bargain price so might be worth checking out?

Twiga · 12/11/2004 15:11

Hi all, just in from work... in answer to the question are we snowed under, my answer might possibley be yes - literally - much hail pouring out of the sky here in Aberdeen and clouds look suspiciously snow filled - it's sooooo cold here today! {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} to everyone who's feeling blue. This might sound a bit funny, but I think my cycle might be sorting itself out finally after mc - have felt much more like myself this month and seemed to get ewcm at the right time etc, am I making sense? - early days still here, although nips have been a bit sensitive since last night ! Weekend shaping up to be nice and relaxing - one shift to get past then four days off. Going to see Lady Smith Black Mambaza in concert on Sunday night with dh - very excited!

Sallie · 12/11/2004 15:09

Best of luck this weekend Rudydudy - will be thinking of you and same goes to everyone else testing over the weekend. I just can't wait for af to arrive now as am sick of waiting. Am also tired and spotty and just want the waiting over. Doesn't help that the house is in uproar due to it being redecorated (dh doing most of it) and me working long hours.

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 15:04

thanks sallie, sound's like i really should get one... Fingers crossed that your AF does'nt show.. Going to look at the prices in boots online now...

Rudydudy, LOL

RudyDudy · 12/11/2004 14:22

Hi Sallie - I don't think this is my month either. I think I got EWCM 12 days ago which I guess would make AF due on Sunday. Have just done (another!) FR test which is (another!!) BFN . If no AF by Sunday will undoubtedly test again then but going to try not to do anymore before then.

You're right about the test companies Minnie - note to self to buy shares pronto!

Hope you have/had a lovely weekend Jeddah

(((Hugs))) and babydust to all.

Bibi20 · 12/11/2004 14:18

Hi

CD 30 here, no af yet, but like Sallie I did an early test (cd28) and it was a bfn.

Woke up at 4.30 am this morning feeling sick, but think it was from a heavy meal last night, nothing more!

Am very tired and spotty, but just started new project which involves being based in a client's office 3 days a week (usually I work from home) so think that's what is tiring me out! (have to get up and get dressed at a reasonable hour rather than working in my dressing gown all day!)

Think I must have got my O date wrong as should otherwise have had af by now (was expecting a 28 day cycle). Longest it's been is 32 days, which is Sunday so will prob test again then if no af.

However, as I didn't O on day 16 think there's no chance this month as dh was then away for 3 days...

By the way, Sallie it wasn't me starting persona?! But hope I won't need to either!

Tania - sorry you're blue...(((hugs)))

Good luck to everyone else testing this weekend

Jeddah,

Just wanted to let you know that you're not the only 'old girl' left on here ttc. I'm 39, knocking on the door of 40 in the new year.

I don't post here much now, but lurk, because I find it hard to keep up with the frantic pace of these threads (poor old me!) and actually find it rather stressy as it sends me totally obsessive about every twinge and sore boob!

But, I'm here, and wish you and everyone else loads of babydust:

Persona works out when your af is due from the data it collects from your first few cycles as well as the one you are on at that time. It then starts flashing with an 'm' when you are due on. Obviously it does not double up as a pg test, so if af doesn't arrive, you should test. I am now 11dpo and still getting a bfn so pretty sure its a again this month.

jeddah · 12/11/2004 12:55

hi girls just saying hi from work...off to my sisters now (taking afternoon off!)

anyone testing this weekend???????I may look in on you at while at my sisters

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 12:53

Sallie, i think we all have that niggle feeling that we could be pg then spend loads on test and AF arrives.. The PG test companys most be loaded... The persona tells you if you AF flow is coming on.. (wow) can you tell me more..

Sallie · 12/11/2004 12:44

Hmm, I just don't tell dh I am testing and we don't really talk about things until af arrives. Best of luck anyway. Will next Wednesday be 14 dpo for you then? My cycles are also up in the air. Last month it was 9 days but ov on cd18 and cd19 according to persona. This month I apparently ov on cd19 and 20 and am now on cd30 and persona is flashing up with an 'm' telling me af is just around the corner . Have had a number of bfns so far but in the back of my mind am still hoping that I have tested too early. Some chance!!!

RudyDudy · 12/11/2004 12:23

he also suggested I get some newts and if they do three clockwise circles on my belly then I'll know I'm pg...do you think he's trying to tell me something???

RudyDudy · 12/11/2004 12:03

I am snowed Sallie but a v. quick update no AF but no BFP either . think I may have got my dates wrong...DH says I shouldn't test again until Wednesday! Yeah, right

Hope all are well. Good luck to all the weekend testers...

Sallie · 12/11/2004 11:29

This thread is oddly quiet! Is everyone snowed under today?

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 09:04

o hula, that is somthing eles.. fab or what... your a lucky girl, i would have to really look to find any place like that...

Sallie · 12/11/2004 09:03

Bibi - best of luck with the persona - but lets hope you don't need it!!! When are you testing? I am on cd30 and still no sign of AF although have gone spotty which is usually a good indication that she is on her way. Starting to feel down about the whole ttc thing even though I have no right to really as have two lovely kids already.

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:56

Looks fab - very jealous now

I will no doubt join you in the take away club however.....

Hulababy · 12/11/2004 08:54

This is where we went - it really is just over the road from my apartment, so great. I have my hair done in the salon there, and my eye brows waxed there too. First time at the Spa though. Going to make it more regular I think. Can't go once I am pg anyway, so have to make most of it now.

MINNIE1 · 12/11/2004 08:51

Tania,
{{{{hugs}}}}} men have no idea what we go through really do they!!!! Hope your feeling better today..

hulababy,
Your spa sounds so temping i might just do that this evening instead of getting a take away and DVD.. I know i really need to get a life!!! BUT IT'S FRIDAY.... yippeee

CD22 for me and time is going soooo slowly... Nearly did a test last night for what reason i don't know just though i would get a BFP!!! AF does'nt arrive till CD35!!!! nuts or what...

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:48

ooh I could just do with a spa break!

Hulababy · 12/11/2004 08:43

Morning all. CD11 (I think!) here. Temp not gone up or anything yet, a few more days till OV day I think.

Had a fab MN meet last night - at the Spa near me. Lovely place and so relaxing. Well, the 7 degrees plunge pool wasn't that relaxing, but the experience of it all was. LOL!Still feel good today after it.

runtus · 12/11/2004 08:27

Hi all, and how is friday treating everyone then? I have massive meetings all morning (yawn) but have just heard that my MD went and got totally trolleyed last night in front of clients, so it should be pretty interestig to say the least.....Still waiting for af to put in an appearance (cd35) but as it has been anything up to 40 days before, I guess I could have a long wait.

Sorry you're feeling poo Tania

Off to see Bridget Jones on Sunday, dinner out first and then popcorn - hooray!

jeddah · 12/11/2004 07:38
