Feisty Fabulous Forty somethings - part 2

[Curlylox]

woohoo over here

Sorry tina I crossed posts with you. I have never taken it so don't know - but some of the others are very knowledgable and they'll help I'm sure. Hang in there kid.

Sorry tina don't know much if anything about Agnus Castus. I'm sure hopefulgum and bb possibly Diege can help you with your question.
I also have a question, have been temping on FF am now on my 2nd cycle......have had the ewcm, a positive on the opk but temp hasn't peaked does that mean I have/will not be ovulating? Am on cd 15 and ovulated on cd13 last month. Also suppose to be have a blood test on cd21 for progesterone, should I still go or wait for next cd21? Someone please (pretty please) come and put me out of my misery.

hippy sounds like you deserve a good number two too...
[you can take the girl out of Essex...]

curly I know nothing about temps etc, but I did have a day 21 prog test, and went on day 19 as my cycle tended to be around 26 days. My result showed I had ovulated (actually wasn't TTC that month). Ideally you get your test done I think it's 7 days after ov; my GPs were very good at saying "we can rearrange to get a most likely match to ov+7" so maybe you could leave it a few days and see if you do ov, then phone to rearrange. If nothing happens, I'd still go for the scehduled test, and if that result was very low it would prove you haven't oved this month (does that make sense ...?

CD24 and no symptoms here. But feel very zen calm? I think it's because I don't think I'm pregnant, and have realised that I'm unlikely to get pg as quickly as I did before, so not to stress about it IYSWIM?

Busy on the house renovations - things have really moved on in the last fortnight and the stairs will hopefully go in in the next 2 weeks. That might mean we'll move in end of April, if not it'll be end May; and I can start thinking paint colours, and start salivating over my Farrow&Ball colour card...

Right, washing to hang out.

Love to all - diege and lou, take it easy beautiful people x

hippy I'm very angry that you were married to simon baker, that means he's a bigamist as I was also married to him lol

my current squeeze is alexander skarsgard (Eric from true blood)

Tina if you're gonna have someone from True Blood surely surely it has to be Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) - OMG!!! Ohh felt an egg pop out then just thinking about him I did wonder why Simon kept popping out and leaving the family home - Now I see he was going to visit you

jolls I did need a number two but I sooooo don't now You sound very calm and collected - well done. I agree with all your advise about the day 21 tests (once I'd made sense of it )

well I'm having a mad passionate affair with your husband then hippy!

tina Agnus castus can mess up cycles I think - i remember seeing warnings on here. If your LP was ok and you appear to be ovulating regularly then I think it could cause problems. I take/took it and was fine. In my case it may be coincidental but I ov'ed at around day 12 every time rather than day 19/20/21 without. LP was ok too.

curly you should go for your prog test 7 days after ovulation - I did in on day 21 once when I'd ov'ed on day 19 and the result was quite meaningless.

Hello! Tina I've taken agnus castus on and off for a 6 mths now(always stopping after ov) and it had lengthened my luteal phase (which was 9 days). For the first 3 mths or so my I ovulated far later (ie, cd 16/17 as opposed to 11/12) but after a few mths my ovulation day came back down to day 15. Luteal phase went up to on avergae 11/12 days, though had dropped back to 10 days on the month before I got pregnant this time. Last month also started taking vit B6 up to ovulation, in addition to AC - I;d like to say it was the vit B that did the trick but I'm sure 2 weeks worth couldn't do much. As BB says, if you haven't got a short LP then I wouldn't bother as it can disrupt things. I had a dodgy one anyway, so couldn't make things worse!
All this True Blood Talk tsk tsk, is Simon Cowell not good enough for the lot of you then?? JOlls I will swop my Little Green Paint Compnay chart for your Farrow and Ball (I could also trade a Fired Earth??). I get very obsessive about them and then end up buying Dulux YOur house rennovations sound very exciting. We moved to my dream house 18mths ago, circa 1750 large cottage, so while we have no money to spend, there are lots of sample pots and wallpaper swathces sitting on window ledges.
Still feeling sick (very much so last night) though not actually been sick. Feels like I've Od'd on a large bag of Haribos. Pleased though
HIppy the bench is awaiting - the reflexology sessions you have sound very encouraging. Are they expensive?

(Hippy whispers ... £32.... Don't tell DH!!!)

BB If we all keep sharing these men around our new DC's will all be half siblings - very confusing . Just googled Mitchell (Aiden Turner) and he is 28 - i would defo have got him if it wasn't for the age thing!!!!

HippY we re keeping your seat warm.Reflexology is lovely isn t it?? Don t know what any of you lot are talking about??????? "simon" etc.....WTF????

Diege my reflexology sessions are £25 for an hour but i ve put mine on hold until i m 16 weeks.Theres no evidence either way but neither me nor Tracey want to risk anything with my history of MCs.So ants having my sessions instead!!!!!

Hi to all;Jolls,Curly,BB,Tina,Gum and Italian hope alls well.

Finished Georgie's story and been spending money online yeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just booked my mum and dad Rod Stewart tickets for May and booked mine and Ant's spa weekend. LOVE IT

I ve just recived my compensation chq.In August some old biddy went in to the back of us so this is from my personal injury.Tomorrow; Kinnect and Kindle shopping.Bring it on!!!!

Got to celebrate my last few days of freedom work on Tuesday.
hmm]

lou you are so boring - you mean to tell me the only man you shag is Ant???? Blimey, some of us on here are shagging loads of men off the TV!

Yes I stopped Reflexology when preggers too. It is probably a good thing for Ant though. I am at the kinnect!

Just seen that they are expecting heavy snowfall in scotland WTF??? Anyway, tank be careful wont you?

gum I hope the tsunami isn't headed anywhere near you? forgive me if my geography is totally amiss there.

ok, dimbo alert... what's Kinnect?

And I don't really get the appeal of the Kindle... I mean I sort of do, as in we don't have any CDs any more, all ripped in and then charity shopped, so I understand the appeal of reducing clutter, but books aren't clutter...? And isn't it odd reading a whole book on a screen?

jolls get back to your housework - your place looks like my gypsies have moved on

(Hippy answers grudgingly... It's for the X Box, it means you can play games etc without holding a controller. With Kinnect YOU are the controller!) Me and the boys had a go on one once - we were white water rafting. The good thing is you jump about like a loony and get exercise of sorts.

I thought you meant an updated fancy version of Kinnect/Connect 4

PMSL diege

shit hippy are you looking through my window...?

Og god its like talking to my mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THe idea of the Kinnect is that when i cant get to the gym i can exercise on the Kinnect instead!!!!!!!!!!!! Well thats the idea!!!! We had a WII fit previously but got rid of it.

Jolls shame on you!!! The Kinnect is the fatest selling gadet ever they ve sold over 10 million since November.Know what you mean about not having/holding books but been looking at a Kindle for some time and just thought "what the hell" it ll probably end up in the drawer with my ds and ipod!!!!!

There you go consider yourself "down with the kids and hip again" Now back to your housework.

I m off to the pub for some diet coke oh, might push the boat out and have a lime and soda!!!!

Louise. I don't get the kindle thing either - why not just read a book? They are compact and portable
Right, bistro is open. I am having some crispy roast potatoes cooked with rosemary, with nut loaf I think with a salsa sauce. For afters lemon pudding with shortbread fans. Mmmmm....
I seem to be able to keep the sickness at bay by eating..remember that this is very much how the sickness starts. Fingers crossed I get regular pregnancy sickness this time (as with dd2) and not hyperemesis (the rest!)

Diege Sick sounds great ...looking forward to indigestion and backache.. keep going!

I will have giant king prawns in the shell in garlic, crusty french bread and a bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc followed by a big slab of runny Brie actually make that two bottles and a packet of ibrobrufen tomorrow morning.....in fact the choice of the not pregnant woman which is good because " I have no symptoms .." I am doing as i am told and have set the parental controls on the computer to not allow any tww website access.

oooo tonight I fancy...
a nice fillet steak, medium rare with a large dollop of mustard, and some large chunky chips, with a tomato and onion salad...
and a bowl of trifle (I mean not a whole bowl... oh maybe I do...)
And wrong with steak I know, but I'll make a good inroads to a nice Sancerre if that's ok... ta

Blimmin' exhausted, so off to bed soon. Must have been all that housework... and getting dahn wif de kiddz

Diege i do read thats the whole point in buying a kindle!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still confused - tell me what's the advantage of kindle over books? Is the kindle version of the book a lot cheaper? I do want to understand, honest!
May not be on over the weekend as away with JOll's man as you all know . Have processed your orders Ishaboo and Jolls, very sophisticated palates (apart from the trifle .

Something simple as the bistro may be closing soon...cheese on toast please.
I'm hoping hopefulgum is ok what with the terrible news, please check in soon and let us know all is well. Oh and perhaps you can answer my first question I had posted earlier too

Sorry Curly, I got sidetracked by the agnus castus quesiton . I'd say you may well have the temp rise in the next day or 2. I usually get it 2 days after the pos opk. Am putting in your very straight-forward order as we speak!
Off to bed now; night all!

girls girls - stop arguing, she's buying it and that's that!

diege you are going away with Jolls' man ??? WTF?

No food for me please - i am dieting and able to abstain with ease (when the feckin' food is virtual!)

Big week-end for me (day 10 tomorrow) usually get the positive around now ..... where did I put that vest top????

You know, Joll's bit on the side, Wagner
Right, bed for sure now!
