Hi everyone - just quickly checking in which is all I can do at the moment as I'm just too busy with work to chat!!! What a pain work can be!

Hope everyone is doing OK - sorry for all the AF's arriving but onwards and upwards???

Jeddah - can't believe you are making a fat free cake??? What is the point??? The best bit of mine (apart from the bottle of booze in it!!!) is the joy of having a huge piece with large cup of tea and tasting all those ground almonds in it!!! But I do think I have seen your jar of stuff in our large Sainsburys - I will investigate although it might not be much use to you as you are Up North aren't you?!!! I'll let you know when I do big shop on Friday!

Anyway - not much more news although must share with you that DD slept through the night last night for the first time since May!!!! Deleriously happy!!!! Sending my good vibes to Tania2 - you can do it too!!!

Have a good day everyone! xxxx

Good morning girls!
Had a shit day after hot water system blew up we had to get a plumber out to fit a new one that cost heaps of $$$ ds cried most of the morning cause he wanted a shower, he had a temp and was really grumpy. went to a friends house to see her daughter for her 2nd b'day ds was great there and fell asleep on the way home. managed to do a bit of spring cleaning and wash the car and when dh got home went and did the food shopping. so at least i feel i have accomplished something today. But still feel sick every now and then so confusing i bet i get af thought.
Jeddah I have been using the fern thing for the past two cycles really hope that it helps its great to pin point the right time as i dont always get the natural symptoms of oving like some.
Altergo sorry about AF
Hula hoping you feel better soon.

Just dropping in to say AF arrived as predicted yesterday. Am using Persona now (courtesy of Louli) and am therefore on CD1 today - and ready to start trying again. Am giving up on temping, CM etc.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up - this thread moves so quickly - hope everyone's well.

MunnzieB · 09/11/2004 22:42

fingers crossed all round for you then minnie, hoping AF won't show up for u.

MINNIE1 · 09/11/2004 22:16

jeddah,
Your a star (CD19 for me) I think i ov'd 12/13/14 as well... What a long wait we have.. I'll be waiting till the 20/21st nov to test if AF does'nt show herself... XXXX Fingers crossed.. How many CD do you have.. (35/36 for me)

MunnzieB,
Sorry can't help you on the persona Q as i'm goin anatural this month...have a saliva thing to see when i'm ov'ing but have'nt worked it out yet...

baby dust to all xxxxxxx*x

MunnzieB · 09/11/2004 21:46

is the clear blue fertility moniter the american version of the persona?? looks like for both do the stick thing?? any ideas?

MunnzieB · 09/11/2004 21:19

pixi, welcome, hope you're stay is not too long.... in the nicest posiible way that is! lol.

MunnzieB · 09/11/2004 21:18

Thanks for the tips with the persona sallie, it will come in handy!, I don't think the 21 day test will show PG, but might be wrong?? I think the main thing they check is if your body can sustain early pregnancy, they say low prog. usual means higher risks of M/C, don't know if it's right or not, as that's what I read on the internet b4 I had my tests done. Rang the dr yesterday for my results..... surprise surprise they were not there yet!, (so i'm going to have to avoid temptation and not ring till friday) boobs feeling heavy today and achey like they did when I first came off the pill, so am taking it as a good sign.

jeddah · 09/11/2004 19:07

becki....it is normal for temps to drop up and down before ov...its after ov that they tend to stay up....keep at it......it really does work. I thought like you and you will soon see a pattern!...I had been temping for 11 months!

Pixi welcome to the clan!

Tania LOL your mails make me smile so much....keep that bloody milk away! I know this tends to make him go back to sleep, but it should be the psychologoical process rather than the milk! (easy for me to say this....having a first class honours in HV is very bloody different to actually doing it!!!!!!!!!!

Sallie and mariella....it is best to test at least 14dpo.......tessiebear is right!

Minnie1......LOL ....we are on cd19 today and cd20 tomorrow...I think I ov on day 12/13/14? so bded all week!....going natural is a pain...I would much rather know, but I have known for 11 bloody months and see where that got me.....nowhere!

jeddah · 09/11/2004 18:43

can anybody please tell me where I can buy a jar of fruit concentrate. It says on the label that it can be used as a fat substitute. I use it in my christmas cake every year (to make fat free christmas cake) and I usually get it from Tescos....THEY HAVE STOPPED STOCKING IT!!!!!!! AAAAAAAH!
Please can anyone help me.....I think it was by 'Sunpat' ...but not sure
Thanks! I live in the uk

MunnzieB · 09/11/2004 18:16

Not sure when af is due to be honest, on cd32 today but as my cycle is so odd I could come at anytime. I did a quick HPT on Monday am to make sure I wasn't pg by sheer luck before I went to the dr's and got a bfn (the oddest test I have ever done cos I was more excited about going to get my pills!). Hopefully it will arrive this week sometime and then I can start my pills.

I'll keep you all posted!

I want a big cake!

Sallie · 09/11/2004 15:14

Mariella - know exactly how you feel. Am on cd27 and think I ov on cd19/20 so will have to wait until after the weekend to test (again ). I keep imaging symptoms of af approaching so who knows. Have had a few niggles in my tummy today but more like af coming rather than pg symptoms, I think. Best of luck....

mariella · 09/11/2004 15:04

hi everyone!

I am gong NUTS wanting to test. I have been feeling faintly nauseous today, I never feel nauseous, I never even get morning sickness, so I don't know what it means but it is driving me up the wall not knowing if i am pg or not. on cd25 of probably a 30 day cycle and no idea when i ov, because my opks from days 10 - 15 were always negative. when can I test? not until saturday at the earliest really, right? (no frustrated emoticon so angry will have to do!)

Tessiebear · 09/11/2004 13:21

Sallie - dont want to find out sex - did with DS2 and wished i hadnt! - more exciting keeping it for the birth!

Sallie · 09/11/2004 13:15

Tessie - are you planning to find out the sex of your 3rd? Interesting that you didn't get a bfp with FR tests - anyone else have a similar experience? Maybe they are not as sensitive as they claim to be?!!!

sweetheart · 09/11/2004 13:13

Runtus - & everyone else,

thanks. Yes that was more than I neededto loose so I can afford to put on half a pound with the cream cake I've just brought to accompany my afternoon cuppa!!!!!

When is your af due???? When do you think you'll be able to start your pills???

Tessiebear · 09/11/2004 13:12

3rd Sallie Have 2 DS's of 6 and 4
