Bonkers Anonymous… the most successful TTC thread in the world... so good even the Graduates want to stay!

Hi everyone!

Flying visit from me too, supposed to be washing and cleaning ect, trying to get everythign straight as we are off on our hols at the end of the week.

Mandy, sorry to hear the evil AF got you...grrr!

Not had a great weekend. Excitedly tried to go shopping on Saturday, was utterly disappointed with the selection of boys clothes, plus they have yet to bring out the winter stuff yet. I couldn't even find basic terry sleepsuits in blue in mothercare, talk about useless! All I managed was to give myself the monster of stonking headaches. Then yesterday I suffered really badly with hayfever, so today am still feeling quite bunged up.

Thanks for my birthday wishes. I had a great day, was spoilt for a change, lol! My main gift was a new camera, so I will probably bore you all to death with my pics over the coming months. Still learning the ropes, it is a little different to my point & shoot camera (now have a digital superzoom, a small step down from a DSLR - which is what I would really like at some point, but best get used to the one I have first, lol!)

Mandy - sorry af got you . Still another month of fun trying is the best way to look at it I always thought!

MJIM - have a fab hol - sunshine all the way

Battersea park was good - dd loved the playground (why are the playgrounds more exciting than the animals ) and the otters and the monkeys were fab!

HC - are you still in the rain? We have been in shorts and t-shirts today again!! Hope you had a good tea with pil!!

MJIM - have a fantastic holiday - hope the sun shines all week for you

Mandy - really sorry that AF got you but you sound positive about it and next month is another month and all that!

Bellie - lol at dreaming about lying in past 7 - I have those fantasys aswell Twas 6.30 this morning - ouch!! Hope you are having a nice day.

Not much Fathers Day stuff happening here as DH is playing cricket! Had to go out and get him a McD's brekkie this morning and then I had to go to aerobics to burn off the calories! DS enjoyed the pancakes and syrup though .

DS just gone for a nap so I think I will join him in the land of nod.

Speak of the devil - AF is here.

Actually I'm more OK with it than I expected. This was always going to be a strange month TTC and I'm really pleased I tried the OPK.
I say: Bring on next cycle!
Thank you so much for all the support. xx

Thanks for being so caring girls!

Bellie, I envy you for having to get up you know. Don't touch the raw stuff if you can't bear it!!

No news here really. Was going to test this morning but then had blood streaked CM = AF is imminent. So just left it. Oh well. Feeling distinctly 'symptom free' but like AF is coming any minute (that reminds me - must go to the loo again! )

Have a lovely Sunday all. x

Ooo - Mandy are you up yet? (probably not as no children to get you up at this time on a Sunday - Bellie dreams of lying in past 7)

Have not managed to get sucked into BB yet, but there is still time....

Glad Boyzone were good, and that they were still as toned as a few years ago!!!

Has anyone got plans for fathers day? DH has said that he would like to go to the zoo, so we are going to try Battersea Childrens zoo. Not sure what it will be like, but it is a day out and means that I don't have to cook (still struggling with raw products [boak])

Have a good one!

HC, yeah perhaps I do have all the classic symptoms, but of what?
I know. Of symptom spotting.

Think I may be testing tomorrow if AF doesn't kick me in the gut 1st thing in the morning.

Thanks for water butt education. Had no idea! x

CE, thank you. Happy you had a good time. Now you made me fancy lasagna but I have no oven yet... Spag bol it is.

HC I feel lost, confused but strangely intrigued. Do tell me more. What can a water butt do for me? (BB: the right person got evicted, right? Yeah I?ve been sucked in..)

Hi Juanitad waves You OK?

Ceebee, concert sounds H-O-T! And inspirational: Well done for hitting a class! Don?t get me started on #$*!!# men please. Yeah it?s one of those days.

14 dpo and no AF yet. I can SO feel it coming any time now. Haven't tested because I know it would be BFN and just feel like a brain-f*ck (sorry!) to then waffle around waiting for AF, clinging onto tiny hope.
Might test tomorrow once I'm up, showered etc but probably won?t need to.
Symptoms conflicting. Trying not to think of it but difficult: Spare white stringy CM (a bit unusual if I'm honest) but v typical period-like tingly cramping in lower abdomen & back yesterday & today. However boobs are unusually calm. Temper is scary. From euphoric to murderous in 2 minutes. DH said I?ve been feeling really hot. Then he fled to B&Q.

Nice evening all. x

Mandy - any news this morning? And 'Mandy' was Westlife so you weren't that far off

HC - lol at your post!! I was watching FAR better things than BB.....mmmmm.....Ronan

CE - lasagne and salad sounds delicious - could just eat that right now!

Boyzone were fab fab fab! Although I did nearly need a cold shower at one point - they did a song whilst jogging on treadmills and wearing very little - in fact, just shorts!! Wow Wow Wow - those lads have been hitting the gym VERY hard! They all looked like bodybuilders!!!

Just been to aerobics and gonna go for a shower - DS is at MIL's and I have to go and pick him up in a bit! But, get this, it is DH's turn to do cricket teas today and he took all the stuff round to MIL's this morning with him so she could 'help' make the sandwiches Men eh??

Have a good day all

x

oh, HC, don't like to see you talking to yourself so thought I would get off my backside and post you a reply, but you've probably gone to bed now. In fact I think I may head to bedfordshire myself soon. Hope you enyjoyed BB, I have managed to avoid it so far, but usually with me it's just a matter of time...........

Mandy !!! You crack me up yet again!
I really hope AF is not on her way....you have had some odd symptoms don't you think?!?!? So will you be persuaded to test in the morning if AF has stayed away in the night??? Glad that chatting on here is helping you get through the 2ww. I know it always helped me loads. You have a cracking sense of humour actually so you probably don't need us at all!

My bar meal was lovely (lasagne and gorgeous salad) so quite healthy too....can understand why bellie is going for chinese! Had a nice bath and just chilling out now.

Have a great evening everyone xxx

HC, thanks! We have to laugh, right? What the heck is foul smelling Jeyes Fluid in your water butt?!? A medical procedure? Your fetisch? Both?

Ceebee, that?s really lovely and makes me want to cry a bit. Enjoy the gig! (esp ?Mandy?. Or is that by another boyband? Sorry... )

Majormoo, I?m with you: Anything but Helen or Alex ? both v chippy, no?

HM2J, happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely time. The +30-club is a great place I promise.

Bellie, sorry to hear you?ve been feeling rough, don?t know what to suggest except for the obvious; take it e-a-s-y. And thank you. It?s so heart warming with support from people who truly understand.

CE, enjoy the meal and go for what you fancy!

I've been to clean out the old flat and did massive shop (walked!) hoping to bring on AF (I know it doesn?t work like that but felt good). 13 dpo (lucky for some eh?) and no AF yet at 4.33pm. I feel it coming though, for sure. Crampy & dry. Won't even test, I know it would be a BFN. Five minutes ago I swore it AF was knocking but it was ?egg white? CM which threw me a bit.
Told DH I?m certain I?m getting my period soon ? he?s OK & I even got a surprise sympathy shag! Nice to know there?s still life in the old cowboy.
Feeling chirpy & determened to enjoy the w/e.
Hope you all are too! xx

Wow ceebee - Boyzone (swoon). Not sure I would stay awake either! Fell asleep on the sofa again today, but dd kept waking me every 10 minutes to ask me to hold her cars .

Supposed to be cooking dinner for 5 tonight - but [boak] at the thought of any raw food - so chinese take away it is! (have managed to make my chocolate mousse tho - completely pregnant friendly - mars bars and cream!!)

HM2J - happy birthday!!!! Another member of the 30 club! Hope you are having a great time

ceebee - enjoy boyzone! I used to LOVE them!

HC - finally got to see your chart! It looks good! I definetly confirm Ov! Fingers crossed for another temp shift or something?!?! (Having said that my chart last month had no early signs whatsoever and I'm pg so hmm????)...hope your hands smell better! Wishing you the best of luck...hope it's your turn!

Bellie - sorry you are feeling rough. (I'm not feeling so hot myself! ha ha!)Feel like have a hangover all the time and sleeping 12 hours a night!

DP is taking me out for a lovely bar meal as it's the weekend, but will try to have something a bit healthy as all I could manage last night was chicken nuggests and chips !!! with 3 veg though!!!

Have a fab evening xxx
