I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

Morning! :)
How are we all?

B sweets, tis shite.
Hope you're feeling better soon xx
I also had a peep on the Grads , bit of a-wimbawa ,a-wimbawa < Lion King btw > :) moment for me as the Grads due/ delivered are the first ones I met properly /remember on here after my last MC in Jan.

Hairy even though my cycle has gone somewhat loopy, would you like to be cycle buddies and all prod stand together like the frog song, bom bombom byiiyaaa, bom bombom byiiiyaaa. Grin
Tell me to mind me own if you like, but when did you SWI?
Pregnology wotsit said for me to do it around now but I had Ewcm on cd 11.
I'm now on cd 18.
Slight lower cramps and boobs tingle and throb.
Hope its not ov signs as we're still at MIL's . ;)

PV I'd love to be cycle buddies :)bom bombom byiiyaaa, bom bombom byiiiyaaa.

I SWI on days 8, 10, 12 and 13 and I had positive ov stick day 12 and CB peak days 13 and 14.

I'm day 18 today.

Nearly got caught feeling my boobies at work yesterday Blush and had the same freezing cold feeling in bed I had last time I was up duffed.

owlshoes · 15/09/2010 15:48

HT you know you should always go to the loos and check them there (I must've done this at least 10 times a day during the last 2WW).

I applaud your quality SWI dedication. Grin

hairytriangle · 15/09/2010 16:57

LOL, Owly I can't keep my hands off them long enough to get to the loos! Grin

LadyBee · 15/09/2010 17:33

Oooh ladies that's quietly promising - can I symptom spot for you? There's nada going on over here.
I've even given up on my CBFM, am just using the same stick when it asks for one as I can't be arsed wasting them when I'm plainly NOT ovulating at the moment.

What app do you use?

Is it very bad that I'm already contemplating opening a bottle of wine? It's just that DH sent me a message suggesting lasagne for dinner, and it's put me in the mood for a nice red. DS is going to eat soon...does that count?

nickstermum · 15/09/2010 18:24

which app hairy i just got the free one, but is there one better? Oh please do tell!

Heres sending sticky bean fertilisation thoughts to you all :)

youremindmeofthebabe · 15/09/2010 20:16

Ps am I best using my cheepy ov sticks in the am?

LadyBee · 15/09/2010 20:55

I'd probably try to test twice a day youremind me,

See this: "The best times to test are between 11am and 3pm and 5pm and 10pm. If you want to make sure that you catch your LH surge, you may want to test twice a day, once in the earlier time frame and the other in the later time frame. Please keep in mind that while you may have the initial surge of LH earlier in the day if testing via blood tests, you will not get a positive result on the ovulation test until 4-5 hours later when the surge actually reaches your urine. Be sure to test at the same time each day.
Once the LH surge has been detected, successful fertilization is most likely to take place one to three days following the LH surge ? with peak fertility at 36 hours post-LH surge."

The app is 'love diary' and allows you to track all sorts ;)

Cheers for the link to the froggies youremindmeofthebabe

I get best with the cheapies mid afternoon or early evening.

Tis true, pv. Thanks for the advice hairy and ladybee. Best get on it asap, I am day 9. Hope I haven't missed anything, i've been slack..

Are you feeling ok today ladybee? I have a day off today and am in bed on the laptop listening to old Moby songs from my youth and feeling nostalgic. Should get up and get the train into town to go shopping, but have yet to find the desire.

best do something though. See you all later.

LadyBee · 16/09/2010 21:53

Hmm, I use 'iPeriod' - you record most things and it does do a nice graph of basal body temp etc. It seems to be convinced at the moment that my cycle is about 24 days so keeps sending me messages that my period is due.

Actually it feels like my period is going to arrive early. This is sending me into full menkul mode, as the 'feels like period is coming a week early' happened in a couple of previous pgs. Somebody slap me.

I'm a lot better these last few days. Met up with a friend yesterday for lunch and playground - she's about to start her first IUI cycle, the fact that we've both had rough rides means we can offload to each other quite happily. It really helps being able to speak to someone in RL as well.

Have just made a delicious dinner and opened a lovely white to have with it...shall I have another glass? Grin

barrenbrook · 17/09/2010 16:16

Hello all, how's things?

hairy how's the boob gropage going? Been busted yet? Grin

ladybee how are you feeling today chicken? Hope a little better and hopefully RTD hasnt shown up. I'll give you a slap anyway just to make you feel better. Any preference as to what fish you would like me to use? If it's any consolation my 3rd mc seemed to affect me so much more than the others and have been in that pit of despair. You are certainly not alone. X

YRMOTB congrats on run lovely

Hello to everyone else

Have had niece over for past few days and she's sooooo delicious and cute. She's well ahead of herself too as is only 6 months and crawling and climbing everywhere at a lightening pace. I've posted a vid of her on FB I dunno if any of you saw it, the window licker!

Apart from that not much has been happening in the bb house.

Have a good weekend girls x

hairytriangle · 17/09/2010 19:06

LOL Barrenbrook 'busted' Grin

Not as far as I know, but on the other hand, no-one would tell me if the'd seen me groping myself in my office Grin

Still groping - slightly less soreness, have convinced myself I am not up-duffed and am not going to test this time (unless AF is late - if I manage to hold out!)

PrettyVacant1 · 17/09/2010 19:33

Hi all. Smile

I got busted last night peeking down PJ top to see if boobs had miraculously changed in the hour since I last prodded 'em. BlushGrin
SIL walked in to her living Room nattering and kinda paused,stopped,looked at me in a somewhat bemused way, then just carried on the nattering and sat down.
Whilst we're on the subject, as you all know (you do now Grin) my cycle has decided to piss about so I have no idea when I OV'd.
Noo Apps all say different but we did manage to have a quickie at the MIL's Blush14 days before RTD is "supposed" to be arriving.
My Q is I've suddenly developed creamy and EWCM????
Add boobs tingling, cramps and twinges and I've joined the looney bus again.
Answers on a postcard if you will.

CaribouMoo · 17/09/2010 22:06

Evening lassies. Just wanted to pop by and say hello but have discovered I'm now too tired to read posts properly or digest what's being said so will check back tomorrow properly.

Does PV stand for pvert now? That's what your SIL will be thinking! Your symptoms do sound encouraging though so we'll let you off with feeling yourself up in front of family. I think I had creamy EWCM before but can't remember under what circumstances unfortunately.

Later dudes x

Just popping in to say hi, I'm really pretending I'm not on 2ww, and that I could do an early response test on Monday morning ... slap slap slap me with a kipper!

LadyBee · 18/09/2010 23:31

I have decided that I need a set of heads - like worzel gummidge - so I can take the one that is currently driving me mad off and put one on that doesn't realise I'm ttc and just gets on with my knitting or does the housework or something. Am trying desperately to distract myself from symptoms of imminent AF, but it's like double-bluffing myself.

Am meeting up with friends for lunch tomorrow - all with dc but all with fertility ishoos so should be fine. Still got pre-AF sore lower back, not due for a few days but am doing so much knicker-checking I'm going to have to wear a pad or something or provoke much suspicion. Blush

owlshoes · 19/09/2010 10:30

Morning darlinks :)

Ah, the looney bus, MrsPV I know it well. I always start the 2WW promising myself I will not go loopy this time. That I used to enjoy these two weeks like any other because they were not a week with AF in it. And about 9 days into the 2WW a switch flips and I go absolutely barking mad and start peeing on any stick I can find and symptom spotting and all kinds of faff and then am absolutely gutted when the inevitable AF starts.

In summary; mental to your heart's content my dear, you are Not Alone Grin

LadyBee am liking the multiple heads plan, you could have multiple hairstyles to go with it.

HT - A kipper will not do it justice. Here, have this schoal of mackerel.

YRMOTB I'd go with what Ladybee said - cheapy OPKs twice a day is far more likely to result in sensible information; I've been doing them once a day in the evening plus the CBFM in the morning as a experiment and the CBFM picked up a peak but the OPK sticks didn't. The tesco OPK sticks are quite good if you require immediate gratification and can't wait for ebay things to arrive I've found. :)

barrenbrook · 19/09/2010 16:39

pv I'm joining you on the loony bus, day 16 and I'm having lots of creamy cm, tingly boobs and strange twinges. I've even noticed a rather large blue vein on my boob for goodness sakes! Hmm

Somebody slap me. Hard!

hairytriangle · 19/09/2010 16:45

afternoon all. I have come to the conclusion that I am not up duffed, as I have a new crop of zits and PMT :( I still need that school of mackrel on a regular basis though.

randomimposter · 19/09/2010 21:29

hi - just marking my place really.

Had a very low week, but am coming out of it. Still producing yuk brown discharge after ERPC (what nearly 4 weeks ago?!) so think it'll be an age before I get a period. Which is hardly a disaster as can't even think about TTC again tbh at the mo.

Wave to all - will catch up soon I promise x

LadyBee · 19/09/2010 22:30

Hey jolls glad you're feeling a bit like you're coming up the other side of the pit. It's such an unholy crap place where you are, just wanted you to know you pop into my thoughts regularly each day.
I'm still very much in a 'two steps forward, one back' zone - yesterday was bad, today better- I guess it's a slower and harder road each time. Sad

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks.

So this week is going to be tough, not looking forward to it. Lots going on at work, AF due, and MIL arrives from NZ to visit. Her bed is due to arrive on Wednesday - pray that it does eek! Why did I insist on dh taking responsibility for this??? If I'd done it myself it would be here and at least I wouldn't be worrying that she'll turn up before it does.

Gah.
