NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 18:11

Thanks Squacky, that makes a lot more sense!!

BB, LOL exactly, he says it better than most!

Right DH is home, so I am off, have a lovely evening everyone, see you tomorrow xxx

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 18:06

Nj DP is the same, the song when im gone actually reduces me to tears the line"have you ever loved someone so much you've given all fo, not the expression literally given all for them, when they know they're youre heart and your there armour.." gets me going every time!! x

Squackycake · 28/04/2008 18:05

The day the temp rises higher, above the previous 5 temps, indicates O the previous day.
So for instance:
cd15-97.1
cd16-97.2
cd17-97.1
cd18-97.0
cd19-97.2
cd20-98.0
cd21-98.2
cd22-98.1

You would say that O occurred on cd19. ff charts would confirm O with 3 higher temps.

Make sense?

see here

It's a good example

I was a big tom boy so never liked dolls. My sister was well into them though.

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 18:03

hi cos! i love joey too!
my AF was quite painless too maybe nature is being kind ha ha! x

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 18:03

I know BB, DH being his typical old man self couldn't stand him, but I told him to actually sit down and listen to what he was saying, and now although he would never choose to put one of the CD's on, he can just about tolerate me playing it, it is just that I don't get much chance now, as much as I don't mind the swearing, I think it could be a little too much for the kids!!

I never got the doll thing, well except for Sindy, but not proper baby dolls.

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 28/04/2008 18:02

Evening all,

Bit concerned by all this talk of condoms splitting . Reminds me of that bit in Friends where Joey goes 'condoms are only 98% effective? - they should put that on the packet! So, like, 2% of the time they don't even work?!' Gotta love Joey.....

Well, am bit bemused by AF. Seems quite light and no where near as painful as withdrawal bleeds on pill. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's just a bit strange. Maybe it was coz I came on over night that didn't feel as much discomfort as normal. Just kept waking with crampy tummy now and again.

Hope that next cycle is a better length. 71 days was taking the 'p' a little.

Hi to everyone I missed earlier!

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 17:58

aww n j we are so similar, i love everything about his music, i especially fin dit so moving when he talks about his love for hailie

i loved dolls for a bit i had a babyborn..i was facinated cos it pooped!!!

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:55

So is OV determined by the rise in temp, rather than the drop?

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:52

LOL LL, my little sister was obsessed with her dolls, even to the point where she'd get up ealier than everyone else to make sure she had changed their nappy and clothes, and given them their bottle before she got ready for school, this was every day for years, not just a phase! Anyway, my point being, as soon as she got a new doll, the first thing she would do is take it's clothes off to see if it had anything there Still remember her face now when she found her first willy, and that was about 15/16 years ago

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 17:50

everyone else has said that i ovulated cd36 according to graph!!
i find it all very confusing 2!!
should probably test may 14th as that is when i would be due

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:48

my niece got a little boy dolly for her bday. Went to see them on sat and she was showing me then called me into her room and stripped him off and said look he even has a willy.... She was rolling on the floor laughing at the fact he has a willy like daddy...

She is 7 and so funny now.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:47

Tink, how come you now think you OV'ed later? I am trying to understand this temping thing, but everytime I read something about it, it get's more and more complicated...!

BB, I luff Eminem, well, not him as such, but his music I think whether or not you like the language, he just tell's the truth, and stuff it if people don't like it, I like his mentality.... can't believe I have just said that! And some of the videos are hilarious

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 17:45
