Sorry to hear that AF is here BBL but glad that you're happy IYSWIM.
Have plenty of large glasses of wine over Christmas!!

Hope everyone is lucky next month.

Merry Christmas to all.

xMASserialshopper · 23/12/2008 11:42

Ahhh BBL have one on me

BeckyBendyLegs · 22/12/2008 17:31

Yes news - I AM BLEEDING as of two seconds ago! I never thought I'd be happy to be bleeding but I am. I am soooo having a tia maria and orange juice tonight and a big glass of wine! My body has really, really wound me up this month. All that stress for nothing. I feel really quite embarrassed now about making such a big fuss...

Hope everyone else is well

Alibobster · 22/12/2008 13:26

BBL any news??

Merry Christmas ladies, have a good one

BeckyBendyLegs · 21/12/2008 16:56

Still here, still waiting! Will do one more test tomorrow am and then, well, I dunno.

Merry Christmas everyone too! I hope you are all ok.

xMASserialshopper · 21/12/2008 16:52

BBL hope everything is ok.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone

MintChocAddict · 19/12/2008 23:56

Thanks everybody.
Was feeling a bit sorry for myself but upwards and onwards and all that!
Have ordered some preseed (never used before) and a trillion OPK from image diagnostics so going to attack it this month. Having counted back in my all new 38 day cycle this month, reckon we woefully missed the best time, so going to grab DH far more regularly this month!!
But first, I'm going to get very druuuuunnkkk over Christmas (maybe a good time to try TM and OJ.)

Hope all's well with everyone else. Hope you get some good news soon BBL.

BeckyBendyLegs · 19/12/2008 12:50

I'll have you both converted to TM and OJ by Christmas!

Alibobster · 19/12/2008 12:23

Mintchoc, so sorry . Get yourself a Tia Maria and OJ and pour me one while you're at it xxx

BeckyBendyLegs · 18/12/2008 22:21

No AF for me yet. Had really bad cramps at lunchtime but nothing. Nada. Not a drop. Not a squidgen. Just don't feel preggers though. I could easily drink a glass of wine. Coffee? Yum! Tired? No I'm wrapping presents like a mad elf. Day 35 and counting!

Sorry to see MCA your AF arrived. There's always next month, as I say every single month. I know that's not much consolation though.

How is everyone else doing?

MintChocAddict · 18/12/2008 21:41

Update - AF arrived today on CD38 so back to the drawing board for me. Hope everyone else doing OK. Fingers crossed you get some answers soon BBL.

MintChocAddict · 17/12/2008 22:15

BBL - I think it's definitely the moon!
Keep us posted!

BeckyBendyLegs · 17/12/2008 21:57

It is seriously freaking me out because I am usually 28 days exactly! I am now on 28 plus 6, so what's that? 34. Wow. Feel crampy every now and then though. I just want AF to arrive so I can have a big glass of wine and a tia maria and orange juice!!!! I think it must be this thread it is jinxed...or the moon or something.

I'm watching Pretty Woman on ITV2. I love that film. Nostalgia.

MintChocAddict · 17/12/2008 21:17

I went for an Asda cheapo and did it tonight. Unfortunately -ve. Still no AF though so might be worth testing early in the morning. Maybe wait until Saturday and test again if no AF by then.
Last few months CD have been CD34/35/35/35. Tomorrow will be CD38 and Saturday would be CD40 if AF doesn't arrive.

I think this thread is doing weird things to us what with missing AF, short cycles, double cycles etc. Bizarre!!

Sorry to hear that you're feeling fluey xserial. I'm still fairly snotty but can actually breathe today and sounding less like Darth Vader which is a vast improvement.

Big waves to everyone.

BeckyBendyLegs · 17/12/2008 12:10

Our bodies are all over the shop! My AF still not here and did a test today: negative. So what the hell is going on??? I am usually 28 days regular as clockwork... my chicken has lost it's spring perhaps! Feel about as pregnant as my DH probably is. No symptoms at all now.

Sorry you are feeling fluy xserialshopper - take good care of yourself so you're better for Chrimbo!

Ali it's really strange but this month I had a 2 day period as well!!!! Last month I had a 3 day one - and that was strange as I'm normally a 5 day girl myself. I wonder what's going on with our bodies Maybe it's the lack of sunshine and the time of year

BBL I wish I was 37 you're a sping chicken compared to me(42)

Mint how are you? Which cheapy test did you buy in the end? I think there's an whole thread dedicated to sainsbury's ones, i.e. they either work for you or against you

No work for me yesterday - so I spend the day in bed as I was feeling a little bit 'fluie' (but not snotty like Mint)

Hi BBL, my AF was due on the 9th Dec but came on the 6th and was really light and only lasted 2 days. I'd hoped it might have been implantation bleeding but it appears to have just been a weird period. Have evertything crossed for you x

BeckyBendyLegs · 16/12/2008 22:16

Hi Aliboster when is your AF due? Has it not arrived yet? I can't work out why I keep getting -ves and my AF is still not here. It's so weird, isn't it? Life should be simpler than this...

Alibobster · 16/12/2008 21:19

Hi Gals, sorry not been around for a couple of days. Xserial thank you for the kind offer of cb test but I'm def not pg - have done another few cheapo tests over the weekend and all - so back to square one.BBL and Mint, how you both doing?

BeckyBendyLegs · 16/12/2008 08:18

STILL NO AF!!! And I haven't tested today.

Sorry you're struck down with the major snots MintChocAddict. I think a tia maria and OJ would definitely help!

Perhaps my cycles are getting longer now I am getting older. I am 37 next Thursday. Who knows?

MintChocAddict · 15/12/2008 23:42

BBL - Reading back I just realised that I probably had my cold before you did and not the other way around!!

Keep us posted with any news.

MintChocAddict · 15/12/2008 23:37

Hi All,

BBL - Tia Maria and OJ - yuck, yuck and yuck. However....I am partial to the odd chocolate orange or 3 so maybe you're onto something there
I'm now floored with the world's heaviest cold too. Thanks for sharing. .
Maybe a TM and OJ would help to cure me!
Frustrating for you being unsure of what's happening. Fingers crossed for some good news for you.

to FF and xserial. I think you're right about just trying to get on with your life FF. I know a few folk who have decided to stop actively trying and it's happened for them soon after. Hard not to obsess though.

Hope everything is alright with you Ali.

Am now on day 35ish and cycles have been 34-35 over the last few months. Still expecting AF to arrive tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm going shopping tomorrow so will maybe throw a couple of cheapies in the basket if nothing happening in the morning, but will have the willpower to wait until Wednesday at the earliest to test. I will be strong.

Hopefully speak to you all soon.

Hiya

Thanks 'FertilityFiend* I'm feeling better, albeit a bit deaf thanks to all the gunk in my head. Watched TV last night really loud much to DH's amusement.

Well, my AF hasn't 'properly' arrived yet and is now 4 days late, very unusual for me. But I had a -ve result so really confused. I thought AF arrived as had a bit of blood, not much, on Friday so thought it was slowly starting so drank wine Friday night but then it stopped and I've had two days of no blodd at all and feel guilty...but then if it turned out I was preggers I'd be tooo happy to care about a bit of wine. With my DS1 I went skiing for a week and drank wine very night before realising I was preggers. But don't feel at all preggers. No symptoms at all. I could go naked jogging if I wanted to. I think AF is still coming, just a matter of when. Should I test again tomorrow? These tests are those cheapy internet ones. I have no idea how accurate they are.

Tia maria and OJ doesn't curdle and is totally yummy! I think you should all at least try it!

Hope you are all well.
