Oh Diege, y'know you will be testing come CD28 And I will happily, erm..... help, you along your way So what symptoms have you got? You being sick yet? Gone off coffee? Can you feel the baby moving yet?

There is no difference between football and basketball spongey balls, just that a spongy basketball will look like a basketball, and a spongy football will look like a football..... me, being anal? Never......

BB I have no idea what to think about how long it is likely to take, it took 6 months with DS1 (but I had just come off Depo, where they say it can take up to 18 months to get out of your system fully), DS2 was on the 2nd month after being on the pill for 5 years, MC was a bit of a slip up (not even full explosion type slip up, just after finishing BF) so it's anyone's guess - as if I didn't know that already!

Will look out for program's, but we are so behind with the telly, our Sky+ is nearly full, and we are finding it hard to catch up at the moment!

Off to search for a spongy basketball......

Hi guys, its been a busy day at work today!We used to have squashy foam football as kids for playing in the garden, not sure if they still do them. Surely there would be very little difference between a foam football and a basket ball . I'm on the 2ww CD29 but somehow I think I dont count do I

Diege · 11/03/2008 14:55

BasketBALL

Diege · 11/03/2008 14:54

Wow, great bouncy castle Nat!! Can we all come round?? I've never seen a sponge basket all I must say, although probably one of those things that you'll nebver find when you need it, and then after notice all the time!
I'm losing trach of everyone's 2ww too! Still keeping fingers crossed for Cals . I am on day 22, but am certainly not thinking of it as a 2ww as I am hoping not to be pregnant!!! Ok, so tghere was the day 14 'full explosion' episode, but feeling pretty confident that this ISN'T my month . Can you imagine 3 NOV birthdays!!!

Does anyone know where I can get a spongy (soft) basketball from?? LOL I have looked all round town at the normal shops, checked eBay, checked some other toy shops..... helppppppppppppppppppppppppp

All I can find is spongy footballs, not the end of the world, but a basket ball would be better.

Hello Nat,

That bouncy castle is really cool.

I dont want to go work tonight. I dont feel like it, I cant be bothered to walk to MIL's to take ds there and pick up him up at half 8.

'Ello 'ello' 'ello

Sorry about BFN Cal, still is not over though, the chances of you just skipping a period are minimal, whereas the chances of you being pregnant, are too big to ignore!

Sorry to those having bad evenings/days/both, hope it starts getting better soon.

Toilet training is easy, you just have to wait till they are completely ready (DS1 had just turned 3 by the time he was ready).

We ordered this bouncy castle for him last night, have just been into town and spent about £320, the buggy was nearly colapsing, I took up the whole buggy bay thing on the bus and I am shattered now! But it will be worth it on Sunday Just got to wrap it all now the worst bit....

So who else is on the 2ww? Cal, Disenchanted, ????? Is that it for now? Teuch is nearly there, Diege not far, or are you there now? I have lost track of everyone.

kayzisbroody · 11/03/2008 13:45

I'm not looking forward to potty training. I'm kinda squeamish about that sort of stuff.

Teuch · 11/03/2008 13:29

Sorry your feeling stressed BMLB. I'm sure things will pick up, perhaps a glass of wine will be in order?!

Oh man...DS has started wanting to poo on the potty. Very pleased with progress but don't think I can keep going [boak]

Need him on loo...

BeMyLilBaby · 11/03/2008 13:05

arg if it isnt one thing its a-sodding-nother, in our fantasy world i have now decided i am vastly rich and do not have to work that'd solve my problems!! x

kayzisbroody · 11/03/2008 12:36

Yeah I have days like that at work.

Im glad your gran is ok.

BeMyLilBaby · 11/03/2008 12:29

hey kays, its just one of those days...every lil thing, every comment at wrk is getting me down!

Grans fine now thankfully

kayzisbroody · 11/03/2008 12:23

Hello BB,

Whats up?
How's your gran?

BeMyLilBaby · 11/03/2008 12:20

morning or afternoon all! another hideous day sadly

glad your all havign a gd one tho x

kayzisbroody · 11/03/2008 12:04

Right so if I look out for ewcm and then gof around then hopefully I'll catch OV.

Teuch · 11/03/2008 11:58

you can ovulate early, but then your cycle should be shorter. Or you could regularly OV early and have a long LP.

Best to look for the indicators, rather than count the days, particularly after the pill as your cycle could have altered.

So, NJ, can you dig out that lovely ewcm pic again??!!

kayzisbroody · 11/03/2008 11:49

Got a question here.

I have roughly a 28/29 day cycle. Will I OV on day 14 or can you have a 28 day cycle and OV on say day 10 or day 20?

Would I be better of having a gof every other day from I dunno day 6 until day 26 just incase?

Diege · 11/03/2008 10:54

Morning girls . Good to read everyone's news, although I have almost given up keeping up. Another busy one at work today, but will keep lurking and hopefully post tonight!
Thanks Teuch for the 'logistics' info' on 14 day thing. I think I probably did ovulate a little early (for me) this month, but am convinced it wasn't when I had my full explosion . Predict af will start a few days early, then it's on to last cycle before ttc month!
