Hello all,

Hope you're all doing ok and not going to crazy on the wait for TEW!!

I have to say that I've been PMSL at the stories on here over the past couple of days - I've missed out on sooooo much....damn work getting in the way!

Well CD10 for me and so far hav BD'd on CD4, 6 and 8. I have to say that I was WFH on Wednesday and I took another test (why? I don't know!) of course that came out as BFN, but it kinda made me feel a bit better if that makes any sense. As AF only lasted for two and a half days last time I just thought it was a bit odd. At least I know I can have a glass (or two) of wine withought feeling guilty now

Sorry I'm rambling, I'll stop now!

summerbird · 22/08/2008 11:02

oo heverhoney needs to go in there too, how are you today? any sign of the witch yet or are you going to test again?

summerbird · 22/08/2008 11:01

Girls

AF arrived this morning so am a bit

But at least it means we can do lots of BD'ing on holiday soon! ...and I can drink over the bank holiday!

summerbird - I hope I won't need the name/rank of the PC, but you never know!

hope everyone is OK, and looking forward to the bank hol weekend xx

bluestarlavender · 22/08/2008 10:05

Vix, Bubbap and Hever - This morning I have turned into a manic knicker checker! No sign of AF yet!

Waves to everyone else!

Summerbird - The average luteal phase is 14 days (like the average cycle is 28 days!!) but people vary. Last cycle mine was 13 days. I think it can be problem is it's under 10 days, but I would look at 14 days as a guidelines and see when AF arrives. From OV to AF is your luteal phase, so try to see what your average from that.

Hever - my boss check my tummy every time I'm in the office! He's petrified of mat leave!! We have one person out at the moment and are a couple more short! It's hard on the team, but I want to 'breed'!

heverhoney grrrrrr that is just like my office, nosey buggers

right am off to bed with a book now, i have just ordered my preseed - woo hoo!! tho i checked the address about 10 times as i would be mortified if my neighbours took delivery of sperm friendly lube.........

heverhoney1 · 21/08/2008 21:51

Here here BSL pee sticks are the work of the devil!!!!!

Summerbird- People at my work are so nosey I can only MN when I am working from home. There are so many parents to be in my office at the mo it is silly!! I was even asked the other day "you are the next one in line to BREED arent you!!!"

summerbird · 21/08/2008 21:48

BSL (summerbird puts on her strongest geordie accent) that's me told lyke
seriously i will do my best, i am quite good at the waiting game at the moment so will hang on in there. And i completely concur with your philosophy!!

I know we discuss luteal phases on here but i go a bit glazy eyed, so am trying to catch up on that now, - am i right that the luteal phase should only last 14 days, ie 14 days after ovulation should be AF day? just coz i think i ovd 3 days eary...... ok BSL i will stop making excuses to test early now!!

bluestarlavender · 21/08/2008 21:38

Summerbird - I'm going to be stern now and say - Do not do what I did and get over-excited if anyone gets a BFP this weekend and test early!! Sticks-you-pee-on are still the devils work and should be avoided until AF is really due!!

P.S. I am having a lovely glass of wine too! I have been so good and not had anything for four weeks! My new philosophy is no BFP, no ban on alcohol!

OP posts:
summerbird · 21/08/2008 20:53

oo and hello dawn wildfig and fairywing and anyone else i may have missed out!

summerbird · 21/08/2008 20:48

MAF i like your style, just think one day in 16 years time you will be sitting Mini MAF down and telling him/her all about your quest to get PG - from ringing round every pharmacist in East London to getting pissed and lobbing egg white all over the place!!!

BSL i have come to get used to that feeling after the 2WW but i am hoping that with you it could be a touch of things to come? especially if the witch isnt here yet. Have a fab holiday - where are you going? (sorry if i have missed that post!) and enjoy your pre flight glass of champers!

vix and bubba i am throwing myself into the group hug even though i have a week to go >> oh and bubba i still have that PCs name rank and number if you fancy being a 'victim' of something or other!!

bonifacio PMSL at you hiding from your mother, i was just on the phone to my mum and she said it would have been lovely for us all to have a holiday together next year but they cant as they have retirement plans, i got such a knot in my stomach and started thinking of all the excuses i might need to make!!! and where exactly did she get that idea from anyway???

flirty i have that website stored to my favourites, lets just hope none of my mates need to use my computer and stumble on that one! i would prefer it if they stumbled onto Porn!!!

anyway where is heverhoney saz and i havent heard from eth for aaages

i am currently drinking wine (yes again, i am sooo not a drunken lush, just on my holidays... )

bluestarlavender · 21/08/2008 20:10

...Oooh just to add, I don't feel nauseous, just very slightly queasy, like I've been eating pickled onions on an empty stomach.

Anyhow, really off to pack now!!!

Vix - big hug for your BFN too!! They are horrid!! I'm thinking I might have a glass of wine tonight too!!

I am actually feeling very odd! I think my AF is just about to start cos I've been getting weird cramps all day and actually thought it had started about an hour ago, but I also feel sick too with a touch of heartburn in to the bargain! I don't feel very good at all! This has been going on for a few days and I keep burping (sorry for TMI). I'm pretty sure it's not a symptom, and AF is coming, but of course I still have a tiny weeny bit of hope that it's something.

Off to pack for tomorrow, yay!!

BubbaP · 21/08/2008 18:08

Hey girls

loving the recent posts!

hope you're all having a good week.

vix67 - sounds like i'm in the same place as you, AF due this weekend and experiencing all the usual pre AF symptoms, feel cr*p today

summerbird - sorry to hear your friends got broken into over the weekend... but nice to meet an attractive PC!

hever, vix, BSL - let's have a virtual group hug and hold hands over the next few days.... no more early testing and fingers crossed that the witch doesn't arrive!

MAF - hope you manage to get the boys 'round before they head over to Cardiff this weekend!

makingafamily · 21/08/2008 15:41

BSL it also says that in my Lesbian Conception and Pregnancy Book so if we can't get any then egg whites it will be! As DP said to me the other night the joke

"so madam how would you like your eggs............fertilized or unfertilized"

Feels rather different now lol

I'm kinda seeing this month as a tester run, as my cycles all a bit out of whack and its our first time trying so knowing us four i'm imagining we're gonna make a bit of a mess and just have a bit of a laugh with it to be honest. Its all good bonding time for us as a family

bluestarlavender · 21/08/2008 15:33

Hehe!! MAF - PMSL!! Although, I do completely understand.

I know this sounds really weird, but my Taking Charge of Your Fertility book does actually suggest using egg white as a substitute. I'm not too sure about this, but I've double-checked and it really does suggest it on page 174! Personally, I wouldn't bother with lube, if you can't get pre-seed..I would just go for it!
