The rats are all going to be jolly well smacked, we are going to have lots of festive BFPs and possibly a mince pie (or three)

[Munkiii]

Welcome to all!

Grab a glittery tinsel wrapped ramekin, grab some mulled wine and join our very lucky thread.

Well then Maybe it doesn't mean you're out of the running. Perhaps you could ask for a blood test?

Oh, god, where are my manners - sorry the witch got you Smegs. We're officially cycle buddies! Errr, does that make you feel any better??

Yes it ain't over til the evil witch fat lady sings....

Actually I usually try to convince myself its not even over then - heavy implantation bleeding perhaps

Oh Smegs :(

Imps really? You too?

Oh Maybe just think of Little

Haaaaaaaa me too Beedle! I am pretty familiar with all the I-had-a-period-every-month-during-my-pregnancy stories on t'interweb

Oh yes I've poas/piar cd1, 3, even 7 when I had that mega late cycle....

Good morning, sorry about the disagreeable pee stick Maybe

Boo to AF for Imps and Smegs

BUT on the plus side we all get to drink and eat anything we want! And when everyone else is miserable in January we will all be celebrating our ironic BFPs from drunken Xmas sex

Far how you doing this morning? Hope your ok

Yep Beedle I'm exactly the same. I PIACR last night just cos all the cool kids were and I was actually disappointed when it was a BFN. I kept thinking that maybe AF was a bit lighter than usual so it could have been implantation

Morning! Very about the shitty pee stick Maybe and about AF for Smegs and Imps! Still you're dead right about the Christmas food and booze, I expect you to be eating whole bries, slabs of pate, buckets of mulled wine etc, etc

Glad I'm not the only one to PIAR after the witch has arrived

Catch you laters, I have a small boy to smarten up in preparation for his very first Christmas party !

Maybe, I'm so sorry :( But as the others say, it's not over just yet...

Smegs, sorry AF got you finally :( Same with you Imps- well, with the fact you think she's almost there. She might surprise you...

Where's lovely far?

Maybe sorry to hear about the pesky pee stick not playing games.

Poor Imps & Smegs that evil witch of doom that she is AF has struck overnight.

Thanks you luffly lot

I wish I could figure out my body. But when this cycles ends, I am getting back to my charting. And I'm giving up booze in the new year. DH has also promised to make more time for SWI even when he is tired

I've just had no signs the witch is on her way. Cheeky cow

But you are right, I shall be eating my body weight in pate whilst all the time hoping I'm someone who doesn't get a positive pee stick for ages

Oooh hot chocolate and warm croissant - yes please!

Thanks for all the supportive words, guys ? I'd have gone potty months ago without you all, you know :)
I think 4 6 months will be fine. I'm only 27, and tbh I'm not sure DH will be ?ready? to admit there might be a problem before then. He is adamant his sperms are fine and that all we need is more sex and me to be permanently walking like John Wayne :o

But DH is a bit of a nut. Last night, he turned to me and asked if I had a spare pair of glasses. ?Yeah, they're in my handbag, why?? ?Well I'll need to know, in case of a zombie apocalypse. It'd be a bit shit if you spent the rest of your life blind.? and then he carried on on watching The Simpsons

smegs sadly I had to come off some anti depressants before ttc, way back in January, so they have it in my notes when we started :( Else I totally would have fibbed!!

have Oooo what a great excuse for Gu!!!

Hope you feel better today, beedle

Have a great weekend in London Stasi!

Imps maybe & smegs that's totally poo. But at least you can drink over Christmas, and eat loads of gooey cheese

maybe is he going through a clawy phase? I had to stop petting my beloved cat (nicknamed Slasher) for a month before our wedding, or I'd have been accused of self-harming from the stress of it all ;)

Has far PIACR yet?

Run of pee sticks, ha, never!

BFN from me this morning as well which I am suprisingly ok about, I think imps sensible persona might be rubbing off on me! Also more spotting and cramps so she is on her way, the caw.

smegs cupcakes imps sorry about AF, do you think AF is reading our thread and has found us? Let's report her to mumsnet!!!

A nice boozy xmas for us all then. Actually if I get AF proper tomorrow then my fertile window is going to fall nicely around the 24th/25t and everyone gets a shag at xmas now don;t they

maybe sorry about the BFN but with no signs at all of AF it could be wrong, little took ages to get a positive. I also think those internet cheapies are not that great to be honset.

Awww, sorry far but at least you know, now, and can stop worrying about injections?

DH & I had a good talk last night, and we're both giving up booze as well maybe though we're starting now (Christmas will be easy because we'll have to drive everywhere). Lets hope it all works!!

Well done for PIACR even though you didn't want to Far - sorry it's a BFN but now you can chillax until your Christmas shag!

Speaking of Christmas shags, luckily I think that I'm likely to ovulate on 27th or 28th Dec - OH and I always go our separate ways on Christmas Eve and then only meet up again on Boxing Day at one or other of our parents' so really we're only going to be able to shag on Christmas Eve morning and 27th Dec - fingers crossed that the timing will work out!

Does anyone get AF cravings? Last month I craved an egg and cress sandwich (I mean properly craved - it was all I could think about all morning and at lunchtime I almost ran to Waitrose to buy one!) and this morning, so far all I can think about is wanting a pork pie. Am I a total weirdo or does anyone else get this??

Not that I have noticed Imps But I shall be keeping an eye out now

I told DH I was giving up booze, and he said 'but you only have a few glasses of wine' which is true, but I feel like I have to do everything possible to get a BFP, even if it will make me a little miserable

Sorry about the BFN Far but glad you are ok.

Pop he is just always biting, not even nipping, full on biting, and he does everything teeth first. It's really starting to get us down, as we don't know how to stop it.

Maybe, Imps, Farfalla and Scrambled - so sorry re AFs and BFNs. I really had my hopes up for you this month. Good that you are being collectively positive and hurrah re Christmas boozing/eating/shagging! This way you all get January BFPs to cheer up that dreary month and brainy September babies!

Imps last month I craved fish. I must have eaten a small ocean's worth

maybe have you considered puppy classes? :)

Imps have you seen the newest Good Food? There's a scotch egg pie in it that looks completely orgasmic. And I don't generally eat that sort of thing. But I can just see it with a nice crunchy salad and some cheese and chutney...

We have been to two classes already Pop he is really good at training, and pick things up so fast, but he won't stop biting

Oh, and I know that pie you are talking about. I could dive right in, I am STARVING (I feel the capital letters emphasise my point).

Thanks Generic think it is quite disheartening, as when we started trying, I was convinced it would happen 'this year' ifkwim?

I know what you mean maybe, when we started trying in April DP was convinced it would happen straight away I didn't, but I didn't imagine that I wouldn't be pregnant 11 cycles later at Christmas. Though it is still possible for me as AF isn't due around the 22nd (weak :) ). I know nothing about puppies so I won't try to offer any advice there - but I hope he stops biting soon
