SYMPTOMS, SYMPTOMS, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! 2wwaiters chat and cuppas at the ready[grin]

JB Thanks I will revisit my FF info and see what I should be doing/looking at to try & make sense of what my temps mean. I'm on the 30 day free trial but don't want to pay for it if I can't work out how to use the bloomin thing.

TF You sound like me, worry worry worry on the inside but calm and serine (sp?) on the outside

Bucky My reflexology was a bit the same last Thursday, I think I wanted her to say yep here you are, all done, now you will get PG! But she said it will take a few sessions to rebalance my whole being, especially my head!!
Egg made me lets just hope when ever the eggs arrive they bloody well get fertilised this cycle.

Mrsei Thank you

Sorry for not giving many of you a personal mention but I'm on the laptop with no pen & paper by my side for notes. Hope you're all well.

Ah, but it was nice though, I like hugs! Poor DD is always being grabbed and pulled into bear hugs just cos I wanted one or was amused by something silly she did

Actually, she pulled and pushed me into one the other day, when I was sitting on the floor chatting to my mum. We were in stitches, esp when she planted not one, not two, but three kisses!!
I am such a smitten kitten!

I know! I am awful, aren't I?
Though you wouldn't know it if you met me. My sister thinks I am the most calm and laid back person she knows. Little does she know what it is happening beneath the surface
My Aunt said it well, she said we (she and I) are like swans, gliding gracefully through the water, only don't look beneath the suface or you will see great big webbed feet flaying around, powering us along

A flat stomach, whats that? Not sure I have had one of those since meeting DH and he said he liked a tummy on a lady, so...fleugh, thats me letting my breath out, and my tummy
Wouldn't mind if it didn't hang out (post baby flab) when I bend over the bath though, bleuch
What is the easiest way to a bit of a tighter stomach pistachio

Fairy my LP is 11 days too. I don't think it is too bad. Longer would be better but its not disasterous I don't think.

You forgot me mrsei Only joking, you do well to remember so many

ov day is aaages away mibbes, I am only CD6 Ov is norm CD17 That still 11 whole days away!!
Though have now read that DH needs to 'release' his boys at least every 5 days or they become lazy and tired. Too much hanging around, eh? So I should still be keeping him, and I, busy.
Not sure about the vit B6 now, maybe I should leave well alone? 11 days isn't too bad, is it? Some say less than 10 is a worry others say under 12 is worth looking into.
I really must start taking my folic acid again, I have let it lapse for a month now. If I took it and VitB6, I would feel like I was popping too many pills. Not that those two can be bad for you, but..........oh, I just don't know
Golly, I can obsess over anthing can't I?

Oh and hi to DG/Digibean sorry I didn't ring on Friday, I was in the hairdresser for literally hours (from 1.30 to 4.30pm), and my phone was in my handbag with my coat hung up. So when I remembered I couldn't get my phone and when I got my coat I forgot . Sorry hun, but we should meet up when you are back off hols.

Glad all is going well x

Good evening ladies.

I am just back from our annual company presentation where I cornered a rugged good looking Ranulph Fiennes-type who was drafted in to lecture us about team building (he was just back from the magnetic north pole)....after a couple of glasses of freebie wine I felt it my duty to interrogate him as to why he would possibly want to put his fine mind and fine physique at risk in such a cold and dangerous place ....he let me down with a corny response though so I won't spoil the image...

Anyway, went to the reflexologist today, armed with my food diary. And.........she said I appeared perfectly in sync...so no sarahnh crunchy tubes for me.... Whilst I should obviously be happy that I am fine, I was kind of hoping there would be something she could 'fix' . But she just said to cut down on the coffee, red meat and drink more water etc...so whilst it was really really nice and relaxing I feel like I'm no nearer to my BFP. .

Gryffin, I am the queen of staying up worrying about things I said/did/didn't do at work. I bought this book about overthinking though which had some really cool exercises in it though and I have been 500 times better since. I will maybe dig it out and post words of wisdom in a chant one day .

Cycle buddy 07MTW . I have egg-envy . My egg won't hatch for days yet. Monday if I'm lucky. I will crack out the OPKs from Saturday. This won't make you feel better, but I never get EWCM. I put it down to my lack of fluid intake, but as I am on Cycle 9 my words of wisdom in this respect are probably worth diddly . Hope it turns up though and puts your mind at rest.

Loving the Gisele Bundchen dream, especially the cardie!

Oh well, better go and put the kettle on, and start my new healthy regime from tomorrow. No more coffee, red meat, more water, etc etc. I wouldn't mind if it actually worked...grrrr..

Hi Ladies!

Meant to temp this morning but completely forgot when the alarm went off for me to drag my butt out of bed and go for a run. I'm terrible at having to remember things in the morning! So I'll try again tomorrow!

MH - I too am trying to obsess about my weight and health instead of babyness. I'm sure the moment I have a great body I'll get pg just so I can wreck it again!

Mibbes - I get very little CM when I actually ov but get it a day or so before. I think DG & JB's right that it might be hiding!

Very happy today - first non-stressed about trying/starting/waiting/etc in AGES. Not sure why but its nice not to be a wreck!

xoxo

mibbes hot stuff! i only went up to 37.0 when I was ill with a virus. fwiw, around implantation my temp went up to 36.9, then dithered between 36.7 and 36.8 - now it's pretty steady 36.8 and 36.9 (highest it's ever been not inc. the virus).

Am lucky that it's stayed pretty consistent post-BFP, but have been told by the ladies on the PG board to stop charting now as it can go a bit doolaley and stress me out unnecessarily.

JBs right MTW remember I had 'hidden' EWCM the day before ov...only found it because I was checking cervix position. Nothing at all on ov-day.

Symptoms returning...feeling a bit wibbly, off to cook dinner (this may be my last chance).

Hello all!

mibbes I'm spending too much time on FF I think . You are hot aren't you I'm sure your DH/DP thinks so!

MTW Apparently you don't necessarily get your maxium amount of fertile CM on the day you ov, you can get loads before and just a bit on your ov day. Get bd'ing

Oh and JB I'll have to do some more FF research - hadn't even noticed the traffic lights or any of the VIP features . Note to self: Pay more attention

JollyBear I think my temps may be slightly higher than average as Fairy and DG passed on their high and low temps to me on the previous thread about 2 weeks ago and they were lower than mine. Mine actually jumped as high as 37.1 on a couple of days - roasty toasty ! Maybe my duvet is too thick ! Mind you I need up here in Scotland brrr...
Actually just dug then out for you, hope they help:
35.9 and 36.5 pre-ov and between 36.5 and 36.8 post ov.
36.02 to 36.3 before ov and up to 36.6 after
MTW maybe EWCM will arrive tomorrow, but still worth a bd just incase today is the day
Thanks DG, hope you and digibean taking it very easy with Phil and Fern and the Loose Women ! Have a fabby holiday, am very !

afternoon ladies!

Am bunking off work today and getting properly into day-time TV. Two more days of work, then off on Sat.

Mibbes glad to hear AF stopped messing you around. In with positive thoughts, out with an egg.

Big wave to everyone

Oh and I was looking at other charts in FF (may as well use the VIP features whilst they are still free!)... and there was one chart where she'd ov on CD61 and got a BFP 9 days later!! That is hope for everyone who has ever had a long cycle
