evening,
Oh dear my body is throwing the full whack of symptoms for me to spot - today I had waves of nausea, total fatigue, sore boobs, peeing for britain and burping (this is one of my personal favourites). But, this is the kicker, no rise in temperature. I think they went down a bit. 
I even took my temperature twice this morning, second time after burrowing down into the duvet to try to persuade the celcius to rise a little. No luck.
Ladies - it's time. Bring out the kippers, and SOMEBODY SLAP ME!
loola, does it matter when you ovulate? as long as you do and as long you got some SWI in, surely that would be ok? I guess as long as the luteal phase stays an ok length, that is.
hi lurkin'lolly, it made me 
to see that you actually used the phrase geewhizz. I say stuff like that and my DH starts acting like I've stepped out of 1950s corny children's movie about a dog called Red.
Love the excuse of temping to read in bed for several hours. I guess I do the same thing, just on the sofa until late at night moving only 'mousing' hand.
mummyabroad - 'Orphan babies' . The massage sounds lovely, and good on your DH for finding another gynae, but I do hope your AF does appear in the next week.
KTRace, that's a long time bleeding - is it still red or is just a long tail of brown spotting etc?
Choccybick - well, I guess you could have sore muscles if you had a virus, sometimes they do cause muscle & joint aches. I hope you feel better soon and don't fall over after a hot bath.
Velvet you are being so restrained. I am having to sit on my hands and I'm not even late. Mind you I've had my stash of cheapies sitting there in the cupboard since before my last pg, so the memory of spending the money is long gone, it's like they're free. I really hope this month is it for you.
JamFace you're definitely not the only one, that's exactly my pattern too. I spotted for about 3 days before my natural MC. I don't spot before my periods. They just start. It's great fun playing period roulette when they're due. Fortunately I'm pretty regular.
nickster you go grrrl...looks like you've been granted a second chance I think you ought to do some punishment for that, ah, um, do I have to call it a poem? You're on fish-sweeping for a week m'dear.
Hello battybabe - congrats on finishing the exams - am extremely jealous of both the studying and the being off until February.
PFF you can get them at bigger Boots. I think they cost a bit more than online, but they
- Work.
- Come in a snazzy black case
- Are accompanied with a little chart that you can fill in yourself, which is nice in a low-tech, maths homework sort of way.
- Don't require waiting for post if you can drop in easily.
Finally - Venice by car???????? AandR I doff my bonnet. You are a far far braver woman than I. Take wellies, won't you. Oh. Wait. Was that the boot-buying reason?
Poor you re: pool incident. Never mind. Here's that glass of wine.
