Ohhhhh I'm feel sooo sooooooooo poooooooorly

I have a slight crush on Greg Wallace. I cannot explain it.

Oh Generic I'm sorry AF turned up. Great luteal phase though.

Imps and Popcorn get yourselves tucked up in bed early.

Sorry to hear you're feeling miserable Little I'm brooking on your behalf.

Imps7 · 27/10/2011 20:33

Scarlet . I'm shocked. Greg Wallace?? I hope that's just the pregnancy hormones talking. [unimpressed face]

Little, please don't feel down. You don't know for sure that AF is on its way. What has your GP had to say about your short cycles?

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 20:33

He's on BBC2 Imp honest! Well, now Ainsley Harriott is, but he was there before

Very pleased you kept dinner down though Imps

Scarlet what is it about him?! I sat on the next table to him in a restaurant once, and I couldn't stop staring

Biscuitsandtea · 27/10/2011 20:34

I think GW is ok, apart from when he tests the food on masterchef - he has a very odd spoon action, especially with puddings.....

I find it quite off putting and it normally encourages DH to eat the rest of his meal in that odd style

Imps7 · 27/10/2011 20:35

Biscuitsandtea · 27/10/2011 20:35

Maybe I bet it was the odd eating style that made you stare

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 20:37

Haha, my DH has perfected it, as has my Dad

I am outraged. Said program has a spelling mistake in it [hshock]

TheLittleFriend · 27/10/2011 20:40

Imps My gp has done the usual day 3 tests which were normal and a pelvic us which was normal. Can't do day 21 as I don't get that far. Tried to do it earlier but have never got far enough through cycle.
She has offered to refer my to fertility clinic but, (and I really hope no one thinks I'm an ungrateful cow for saying this) I have said no for the time being. I just can't bear the thought of it at the moment. I know some people are really wanting a referral, so I'm sorry if I upset anyone.
I just want to carry on with the acupuncture til after Xmas and then see if there is any change.

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 20:42

Ah, Little don't apologise! Totally understandable you wanting to try things your own way first. I know you probably have, but have you tried the B vits?

TheLittleFriend · 27/10/2011 20:46

Yep, I'm all dosed up on B vits. I'm just feeling a bit tearful about it all today.

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 21:01

You are allowed to feel like that Little as hard as we try, TTC sometimes gets to us. I hope you are being looked after tonight.

But that is what we are here for, to Brook like there's no tomorrow when you can't brook for yourself x

ScrambledSmegs · 27/10/2011 21:10

Little sorry to hear you're feeling low. It sounds like you're having a pretty rough time of it . Agree with maybe, we'll all brook for you, never fear!

Greg Wallace Haha - have you seen

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 21:15

I LOVE this song Scrambled DH an I were singing this the other day

ScrambledSmegs · 27/10/2011 21:18

Well, if you're insane then so am I!

scarletfingernail · 27/10/2011 22:32

I think he has a certain charisma about him, and a bit of a naughty twinkle in his eye

Not noticed the spoon action, other than he gets a lot in his mouth.

I now feel it's necessary to point out that that my DH is very tall and has a full head of hair and GW is not my usual type at all! (not that there's anything wrong with being short or bald - don't want to offend anyone else or their DH).

BeedleTheBard · 28/10/2011 05:35

Morning all

Hope all you sickly people are feeling a bit better, sorry to hear about AF Generic.

Little brooking for you that the evil witch stays away.

[hgrin] at Brook Ramekin.

I did a little google search for Greg Wallace, and he doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid.

8dpo for me, temps still high :), boobs feeling heavy and sore - though they always do at this point , at least since we started ttc, before that I hardly ever had sore boobs. Don't go getting all excited as I'm not testing till next week [hgrin]

Biscuitsandtea · 28/10/2011 06:14

Morning Beedle - Brooking that those temps stay up for you . At least as you're an early riser I know that when you're confirming next week you'll be up and at 'em early doors

When is AF not due for you?

BeedleTheBard · 28/10/2011 06:54

Well not as early a riser as I look, as I'm an hour ahead of you so its nearly 8am here!

AF is not due on Thursday, though I might test on Tues or Wed if my temps are still looking good [hgrin]

ScrambledSmegs · 28/10/2011 08:03

Morning Beedle. Looking good on the temps, BFP next week no doubt! I laughed at you not liking Greg Wallace much - before yesterday I'd never heard of anyone finding him attractive ( except some woman he met on twitter and then married). And I thought I was odd

Morning Biscuits. How are you today?

Right. Temps gone freaky today and I can't get a reading (34.9? 38.2? What the hell?!). Will try again after breakfast. However, important thing is still no AF! Im on CD26 which is my longest ever so even if she does turn up I'm pretty happy .

PopcornMouse · 28/10/2011 08:17

rotfl @ Brooke Ramekin! I triple dare ya :D

Temp super high today but I'm only CD5 (or something - FF is down ) and I'm ill ill ill

Little I'm so sorry you're feeling low, this ttc can be a real rollercoaster can't it? I totally respect your decision to stick with things til Christmas, and I'm really pleased that your GP is willing to refer you earlier if you so choose senses an ironic bfp might be on the cards :o

PopcornMouse · 28/10/2011 08:21

FF is working again but I can't get it to add my latest chart to my overlay :(

Biscuitsandtea · 28/10/2011 08:39

OMG,, did GW really meet his wife on twitter? That's odd......

Hope the trick or treaters hurry up - I've started on the chocolates I bought for them and I only bought chocs rather than kids sweets because I don't want to be left with a load of lollipops that I don't like

musicalmrs · 28/10/2011 08:49

Now you mention it, I quite like the name Brooke/Brook... :P

I bought lots of lollies and chewy things for trick or treaters Biscuits, purely because I knew if they were chocolates that myself or DH would scoff them! The lollies I find less tempting, and will only go for if when I need a sugar fix, so thought them safer..!

Little, brooking no argument that things improve for you. How long have you been on the B vits for? I think it's always worth giving these things some time - and I've heard wonderful things about acupuncture too.

On the subject of Greg Wallace, he does nothing for me I'm afraid... though thanks Maybe and Scrambled - I now have Buttery Biscuit Base running through my head..

Scrambled - when will you be POAS/PIAR/some other similar vessel? All sounding very exciting...

ScrambledSmegs · 28/10/2011 08:51

Oh yes he did! Here.

And if that link works I will be stunned, cos I'm on my phone.
