So here is our new home, hope you all like it!

No idea Maybe - this is a new one on me! Just another example of the general shittiness of nature/this whole damned process!

Still nothing. I've wiped myself raw, goddamit!

Oh imps I hope this is a good sign for you. I had one day in the middle of AF last month when I had no blood at all, only for it to be quite heavy again the next day. Hope you get a better outcome! Plus I will not brook any of those conditions so I'm sure it isn't a symptom of anything at all except an indecisive uterus < denial positive mental attitude emoticon>

Ah Imps I am feeling your frustration. I have just been on a 5 mile walk, and was convinced it would be here on my return, as I have very slight cramps. But nowt. Nada.

We are well and truly cycle buddies Imps

Arghh Musical, Maybe and Imps the suspense is killing me over here!

Ive just had the police over re a domestic on our street. Someone smashed a front door in earlier. I heard it but didn't see anything. I answered the door in my dressing gown as I thought it was a delivery then had to make myself decent when I realised it was the police.
I was in the middle of smothering myself in holiday skin- you know that stuff that's meant to give you a nice glow. Anyway i was really sweating while they where talking to me. They probably think I'm a suspicious character!
I'm off to see the inbetweeners this evening. Anyone doing anything exciting?

Hahahaha Baby That sounds like exactly the sort of thing that would happen to me!!

The Inbetweeners is hilarious, I loved it.

Nothing exciting is happening here other than day 10 of the 30 day shred, and a nice bath. DH is on nights still But it's all ok, as the dog breeder has asked us to go see her tomorrow instead of Saturday! Wohoo!

Any update Imps/Musical?

hahaha @ scarlets spider story, i guess you were in the appropriate place to do what i would have done- poo myself. My oh found a massive spider in the bed the other night, im sure my heart stopped for a few seconds. He was a killer, im sure of it.

Its getting exciting in here, im expecting a big wave of bfps in th next couple o days. I had weird implantation bleeding and it wasnt what i would have expected either. Had very light brown on wiping 11, 13dpo then on one wipe a pink watery wipe (which normally means af en route) so im feeling very hopeful for the reports here......
Please pee soon.....

Some very exciting symptoms Maybe, Musical and Imps! Will be checking tomorrow for the inevitable wave of BFPs

Nice to see you Farfalla and so glad you are feeling better

Solars we have similar symptoms, buddy!

Re the spider stories - I hate them too. The other night we had a huge one in the bedroom - so big that DH had to chase it behind the wardrobe to get rid of it as he couldn't sleep with it there and he's one of those strange people who likes spiders. Is it some kind of spider-related genetic experiement? Is there an evil lab somewhere breeding huge mutant spiders? Eek!

Thanks for the positivity Meconium and Generic

Well Generic you know I said I was a scientist......

Argh Maybe I suspected it was you - you evil spider breeding genius you!

As if I would do that to you lot! And in your conditions!

Alas, my work is nowhere near as exciting as taking over the world with gigantic spiders!

Still not much to report here - one more wipe of pink watery stuff but nothing else - nothing has reached my pants, so to speak. It doesn't even feel like AF is on her way anymore. It is bizarre but it hasn't got my hopes up or anything - am just annoyed that AF has found yet another way to piss me off! I sort of feel responsible for the same thing happening to you Maybe - maybe our respective AFs are in it together?

I'm not loving the additional spider reports. This is not a good state of affairs. I honestly think that spiders should be banned and replaced with cute things such as baby bunnies and kittens.

This all sounds very positive, Musical, Imps & Maybe especially after what *Meconium has just said!!

Generic I think your symptoms are possibly more genuine than mine buddy considering mine will be an ironic bfp if i get one. Also I have bought some dark & milk chocotale and smooth peanut butter today to have a go at your confectionary recipe tomorrow, can't wait!

Baby that is funny. Someone else mentioned the Inbetweeners to me the other day, i've never seen it but hope you have fun this evening.

Who was it who said they are going to Greece? was it Cake? I love Greece, we went there on our honeymoon, to the mainland and then onto one of the islands. Very special place for us and so jealous you're going there

We've just had a night in front of the tv and now i'm just googling everything ttc related on t'internet.

The Inbetweeners film is soooo funny. I went last week expecting it to be disappointing as tv programmes to films usually are, but we laughed all the way through. Can't wait to see it again.

Very excited re the upcoming testing over the next couple of days.

BabySade - Eek, how scary. Hope you didn't look too suspicious! I'm often walking around carrying odd cases (instruments!) and normally look rather mysterious. I also have to carry a reed making knife with me when on my way to teaching oboe - so I'm always a bit shifty! ;)

Imps, hope that's a good sign - odd though. Maybe - sounding very promising!

More brown/pink CM here - but not continuously. Would normally be feeling a lot worse, and in full flow if AF - then again, could just be my body having a laugh. I suppose I'll know tomorrow! Either way, don't think I'll be testing for a couple of days yet.. :P Looking forward to everyone else's BFPs while I wait though!

Feeling absolutely shattered. So glad it's almost the weekend again.

Morning all
Last few posts from me for a while as e are off to Bali today. Sorry solars it's not me going to Greece!

Morning Cake - hope you have a wonderful time! Very jealous!

Hope you hear some gamelan out there (my favourite ensemble!).

Anyone testing today? ;)

Morning everyone

Have an amazing time cake I know you will!

Any more news musical?

Am currently doubled over with cramps but its the first day of my june bug pregnancy! Positives I have drawn are that my cycle is now only 32 days, I ovulated exactly when I thought, and that this is the most 'normal' my cycle has felt since comin off the pill. Oh, and I have an amazing DH who is now making me tea and a hit water bottle

Byeeeee Cake - enjoy Bali!

Maybe I shall join you on Day 1 of our pregnancies - AF is definitely definitely here this morning (yes, I know I've said that before). Sorry that AF got you but glad you have established some positives. Bring on summer mat leave!

Maybe and Imps- Sorry that AF is definitely there for both of you, but congratulations on day 1 of your pregnancies! Summer maternity leave definitely sounds nice.. and how lovely to have a cycle buddy!

Nothing for me to report yet today...

CD1 , AF has arrived exactly 30 days after my erpc. It's a positive thing though, some people have to wait ages for their first post-mc af, at least the WTF Cycle is out if the way, let the ov countdown begin! THIS is my month, when I WILLl get pg, make sure the bean has read ALL of the instruction book (even the back cover publication credits) and bally well STICKS!

That should be WILL , was that a Freudian slip?!

Imps & Maybe, it will be a pleasure to join you both at the BFP Fest at the end of the month

Late and Imps I do believe we have a posse going on

Sorry about AF though ladies. This month will be our month though. I have a feeling in my waters. To comfort myself, I am having mint chocolate for breakfast (screw you Dr Dukan, I deserve it)cuddling up with tea and a hot water bottle, 'working from home', visiting dogs and then drinking wine. Immense.

Morning gals, so sorry about AF imps maybe and late, she is so unwelcome and NFIed to our thread, ok?
AF is a TROLL, lets report her to mumsnet.

maybe great news about your cycles, it has taken mine 6 months to get back to normal after the pill!!

Managed to DTD again last night. Still only getting highs on the shag dictator so I am hoping I get the peak tomorrow as I am then away for 4 days without DH argh!
I can now see why people find this the best part of the cycle. I used to find it really stressful as I would be at work, panicking about whether DH was going to want to DTD etc. Now that he is more on board its so much more relaxing and I am actually enjoying the SWI a lot more

Very jealous of everyone and their holidays, cake have a great time.
baby I laughed continously for 2 hours during the inbetweeners. I know I am old enough enough to know better but the word clunge makes me giggle!#

What is everyone up to this weekend?
We are going dancing tonight with some mates as we have realised that we love it and had not done it for months before last weekend and its re-invigorating us totally.
