farfallarocks · 08/02/2012 18:55

Oh dear :(

p.s. I have just worked out that next AF is due on what should have been my due date. That will be extra fun, gah.
Its a Friday so at least I can get drunk I suppose

Oh Far, that will be tough. Make sure you plan something lovely to do that day.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 20:36

Oh Far that is rubbish. But she won't be coming, so it won't matter Smile

Imps chuck us a glass of baileys with extra ice if you will!

I mainly work with arseholes Grin

Stasi you are a fountain of useful information. Grin at the thought of boss instead of boys though!!

I am finally home, showered, pyjama'd up an watchink those baker brothers. Nom.

PopcornMouse · 08/02/2012 21:04

:o Imps

I do love a bit of Baker Brother maybe their bakery/butchery is walking distance from my sister's house....... I have never seen them though!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 08/02/2012 22:19

Haha Scarlett you make me chuckle Grin

Oooh, Pop DH and I were just talking about where it might be!

Anyone watch OBEM? DH and I were in tears!

GenericDietCola · 08/02/2012 22:24

Just a quickie as I really should be in bed but yes Maybe I saw it and I cried too just like every week. Even the shoulder dystocia birth didn't put me off!

Babies for all of us please

BeedleTheBard · 09/02/2012 05:27

Grin at stasi, just for information - my boss looks how you probably imagine all Swedish men to look, very tall and very blond.

That will be tough far, any chance of a duvet day that day?

I dutifully peed in my ramekin this morning and BFN, but no temp drop yet so clearly I'm just one of those people who have to wait a little longer til the sticks turn positive and AF won't be turning up tomorrow Hmm

I'm hoping your magic wand works soon for all of us generic

CupcakesAndCocktails · 09/02/2012 07:48

Your right Beedle it's just to early for the peestick to agree. I'm expecting a flurry of confirmations tomorrow. It's BFP Friday doncha know Wink

Sweetie Imps Staci Maybe any news or exciting symptoms to report?

Far that's rubbish about the due date but we are all brooking very hard that AF doesn't come for the rest of 2012 for you. She'll stay away if she knows what's good for her or we will set Imps and Maybe on her Smile

Well it's day 6 in the Cupcake house of annoying CBFM high readings that is The rat has been smacked 4 days out of 6 so far. I've warned MrCupcakes that it could still be a full week of rat smacking ahead am very worried he will be too tired when the peak finally comes
However he still insisted on dtd last night which I can't complain about as he NEVER instigates it anymore. For once I don't feel like a sex starved pervert Grin

Passes round cups of tea and bacon sarnies

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/02/2012 08:31

Morning all!!

Grin at not feeling like a sex pest Cupcakes you really are a trooper and example to us all!

Beedle pesky BFN. When is AF not due? It must simply be too early.

It didn't put me off either Generic though I think it scared the living daylights out of DH. I think it just showed him how hard it really is. I have heard that waving a magic wand ensures a flurry of BFPs. It's science and all that.

I am going into work a litte later this morning, which is quite nice! I am watching BBC breakfast, and there is a bit of a meteorite which has been transported there in tin foil. How scientific Grin

In news here, my temp has shot up again and I have a stuffy nose and scratchy throat Hmm I also have an incredibly painful shoulder, to the point I can't lift my arm. Sure this is the defining pregnancy symptom Grin

Pop, Stasi, Sweetie any news?

How are you feeling today Cakes?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/02/2012 09:03

That should say Imps not Pop (baby brain?)

But Pop how's your belly?

Imps7 · 09/02/2012 09:22

Morning all! Gah, I may have had one glass of Baileys too many last night.

AF is properly here this morning so no opportunity to take my temp or PIAR. Therefore, it's all over to you Sweetie, Stasi, Beedle, Bean and Maybe for this week's BFP fix!

Didn't see OBEM last night but I hear that it's a tearjerker. Will catch up on Friday night hopefully (that's how crazy my Friday nights are these days!)

Sore shoulder, eh Maybe? Hellooooo preggoooo!

PopcornMouse · 09/02/2012 09:34

Sorry to hear AF has arrived, Imps :(

It's Hobbs House maybe :)
I'm feeling much better today, thanks - felt properly rough yesterday! GP tomorrow, strangely excited (though I know nowt much will happen, but it will be Official!)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/02/2012 09:40

Oh Imps she's a cow. At least the baileys took the edge off Grin

Ohh, Pop I am off to the cotswolds ASAP! Glad you are feeling better not, so excited for you for tomorrow Smile

Glad you have confirmed my suspicions Imps, though I am ever doubtful Hmm

Stasi · 09/02/2012 10:23

Morning everyone, quick post to say another BFN for me this morning, and another temp drop. My chart is being weird this month, up and down like a yoyo. I think I'll leave off testing now till the weekend, 2 BFN in 2 days is enough. If it's going to happen, it'll happen, if it's not, then I'll know.

However the later my AF gets the more worried I get about timing of the HSG. Does it matter if I'm still bleeding or spotting when they do it?

Sorry about AF arriving Imps, and the BFN Beedle. Maybe we can both convince a stick at the weekend? Maybe I think sore shoulder could be the key preggo symptom. We've tried everything else!

I actually have no symptoms, boobs aren't sore at all, no real tiredness or sickness or anything. Bit emotional last night (and the other day, shouting at people on the bus) but it's not the same as previous months. People have said the B Complex makes PMT mild? Maybe that's it. Also, being my first slightly woo cycle, I wonder if all symptoms are reset..

PopcornMouse · 09/02/2012 10:53

I can't see why it would, stasi - it'll just flush out what's left? You can always give the unit a call, though, if you're concerned.

Imps7 · 09/02/2012 10:53

Sorry about the BFN Stasi. It's funny (strange funny, rather than comical funny obviously!) how some cycles go doolally for no particular reason. I have no idea about the HSG - maybe given them a call to tell them where you are in your cycle?

I'm fine about AF - it would have felt wrong if we'd struck it lucky this month when SIL hadn't. It just means that we're a month closer to meeting our son/daughter! Plus it gives us another month to spend (both in terms of money and time) doing our house up. Lots of positives really.

Am I the only person who doesn't know 100% where the Cotswolds are? Blush

BeedleTheBard · 09/02/2012 11:18

sore shoulder eh maybe, is it your left shoulder? Cos my left arm/shoulder has been aching for no obvious reason for the last 2 weeks. So its clearly a preggo sympton for both of us.

I think AF will come tomorrow, I had some brown CM this morning and thought she was on her way already, but nothing since.

Sorry about the BFN stasi I'll be brooking that you just tested too early like me Grin

Grr to AF imps but I understand how you would have felt guilty about succeeding this month. Excellent brooking, I declare you 1 day pregnant Grin

SweetieDoesIt · 09/02/2012 11:35

Stasi sorry about the second disagreeable pee stick in 2 days!!

Beedle sorry you also had a disagreeable pee stick. I think they must be catching. Can we all place an order for the agreeable kind?

Imps sorry about the arrival of evil with AF, hope the Baileys helped ease the discomfort.

Maybe sore shoulder, get it added to the list of preggo symptoms quick smart.

Cupcakes you are a trooper, remember Munx and her remarkable SWI effort, got her a BFP - hope she is doing ok and lurking to see all our messages of support.

AF circling here too Sad the spotting has started and temps almost down to the baseline now. I have been checking out fertility clinics and PCT guidelines this morning. DH wants us to go for a referral but I am more reluctant as I am sure if we keep trying it will happen. I want to give it 2 more cycles, I took Fars tip and booked Lanzarote for March when I should OV so fingers crossed this will be it for us.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 09/02/2012 11:46

Sorry about the BFN Stasi why do our bodies do it to us? I am sure you will be fine for your HSG too. When is the date?

Sorry about the spotting Sweetie How long have you been TTC now?

Beedle it's my right shoulder Grin When is AF not due for you?

Imps you are so positive, an example to us all. I like spending money, enjoy Grin

Hope you are ok Munx

Bean how's that book coming along?

Stasi · 09/02/2012 11:56

HSG is 1 week today, on the 16th. AF is usually only 4-5 days of full flow, but with a couple of days of spotting after. I expected to start yesterday, but today or tomorrow would still be normal for me. Temps aren't down to baseline today, so I don't think she'll turn up. Maybe tomorrow morning.

I wasn't expecting anything of this month, though with the new technique (abstaining for 5 days pre-ov) I guess there is a chance that tipped the scales. Bah!! Why can't it be cut and dry simple??

SweetieDoesIt · 09/02/2012 12:01

Maybe came off the pill last May, but then no AF until Sept. So really only had 6 cycles but I am 38.5 cannot believe it so my window of opportunity is closing if I need NHS treatment.
