Poor Otis, how dare you leave your bag in his way, surely you must know where he wants to pee at all times?! maybe is clearly a bad mother, and this is a sign of thing to come

I only ever PO multiple IC, just saying like

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 12:03

Mine isn't spoilt as such though he loves a cocktail sausage which I now fight him for as I am addcited to them but he is so naughty. He always wants to be centre of attention. His balls are coming off in a week though. That'll teach him really bad mother

SweetieDoesIt · 23/07/2012 12:23

Frootz sounds very positive, will be marking my place for FMUPIAR action tomorrow. How exciting

Sparks I would see GP about different cycle lengths, also have you considered acupuncture? This can have amazing results for getting things back on track and more regular - worth a thought

Maybe cannot believe Otis peed in your bag!! Our dog has taken to peeing on the door mat, Confused but at least that is easy to replace

I will join those not expecting AF on thursday, currently Thursday seems a long way off. No real symptoms to report but temp still high

Geeklette · 23/07/2012 12:50

Sorry for lack of posts, I'm having PC problems at work.

sparks I think it would be worth having a chat with the dr about your cycles, especially as they seem to be lengthening and your temps are a bit rocky. Your symptoms each month are most likely due to the normal levels of progesterone that you have post o though (you are not going insane, don't worry!)

maybe diffed, I tell you, diffed! The dog knows it, we know it, and soon your pee sticks will know it Grin

mags great to see you around again :)

froot oooh! It's pretty difficult to get an evap line on a pink test, looking forward to tomorrow's FMU action Grin

Nothing to report here, Mission Accosting was a fail but fx I've a few days yet before I'm due to pop so still time to get some action in. CBFM went high this morning, but I normally get about 5 highs before my peak. Really pleased there are so many 2ww-ers at the moment, it makes the other 2ww (pre-ov) a lot easier to get through (mentalling by proxy I think the technical term is!).

Hope everyone has a lovely good dose of sunshine

Imps7 · 23/07/2012 13:16

Good day to you all Brookers! Am say out in the local park wondering how the hell I am going to be able to drag myself away from the sunshine and back to work. Oooh a chilled glass of white would go down a treat right about now

Maybe love the fact that you are getting revenge on your wee-happy pup by getting his knackers lopped off!! It's extend, sure, but he needs to learn Grin

Sparks, Bartlet posted a link a while back to the guidelines for assessment and treatment of fertility issues and it said that if cycles were 28-35 days, ovulation should be assumed. They may therefore want to look at your cycles if they're reaching 39 days. I will try to find/remember the link and post later if I do.

Froot am mega excited by your faint line after 20 mins!!! Please test tomorrow pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaase...

Did anyone see the final stage of the Tour yesterday?? I am so in love with Wiggo and Cav. Legends. Although Wiggo is supposed to weigh 10 stone at 6'something" - where does he store his energy???

Arg, best get back to the office with its stupidly cold air-con - I have to wear two cardies and a scarf at my desk and I'm still cold!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 13:31

Ooooh, Imps a glass of white you say? Yes please. We don't have any air con or open windows. I am too hot and my eye has started twitching (not sure what relevance this has).

Geek still pleanty of time to accost MrG. Do you know ehn the results of the SA will be back?

Sweetie are we aiming for another tripe whammy?!

Geeklette · 23/07/2012 13:37

maybe The consultant appointment is booked for 24th August, but I was expecting to hear back from the fertility sister today with an earlier date. I've not heard anything from her yet though. I'm not sure when the results will come back, but I would expect it to be before Aug 24th.

imps can you email me some of that air con please? My office is also stupidly warm - the air con works here, but I'm sat in the only corner it doesn't reach and all my colleagues have gone down with bad hayfever so I can't open the window. I have smuggled an illegal fan under my desk so at least my feet are cool!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 13:42

Geek you rebel!

SecretSparkle · 23/07/2012 13:44

OMG Another tripe whammy!! TWT (Tripe whammy thursday) has a rather exciting ring to it, AND will just be in time to be included in this thread :) Dont think we've ever had a thread with zero BFPs!!!

JenFraggle · 23/07/2012 13:49

Maybe twitching eye = pregnant

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 13:52

Grin Jen or should that be Wink

It is really annoying me!

TWT. I like this Sparks surely MNHQ can put this down in the accronym list?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 14:01

OMG. I actually googled twitching eye as a pregnancy symptom, and it is in fact true i really do have too much time on my hands

SecretSparkle · 23/07/2012 14:03

Maybe spot it, we are absolutely NOT the same person!! I have reoccuring myokymia although I cant find anything about it on the NHS website which makes me think the opthomologist might have been fobbing me off!! Im meant to wear special glasses but I dont because I look stupid forget to bring them to work with me!! Its mostly tiredness and stress that triggers it (so being diffed would def cause it). I had it really bad in my old job because of how stressfull it was and how horrid the people were!!! I have rather dramatic 'eye spasm' attacks which involved spontenous crying, inflamed muscles and clamped shut eye lids (rather dangerous when i was driving to work)

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 14:06

Sparks that sounds terrible! You poor thing! I just have a stupid twitchy right eye, nothing as dramatic as that!

Do I count very slightly brown tinged CM as spotting? It's nothing like on Saturday where it was bright pink on wiping (TMI, I know, but I know you lot can handle it). I'm jst wondering what to put on FF

SecretSparkle · 23/07/2012 14:08

Yes its spotting!! AND its brown, so its old blood..... yikes!! would you mind testing tomorrow for me?!

SweetieDoesIt · 23/07/2012 14:09

Loving the brooking twins Sparks & Maybe, you could have been in a previous life Hmm

I have really gone off wine, but am craving jammie dodgers Confused symptom?

Geeklette · 23/07/2012 14:14

sweetie jammie dodger craving = diffed, going off wine = double diffed. Congratulations!! :)

maybe I'm loving these random pregnancy symptoms! Brown CM is def spotting, and brown rather than red is absolutely perfect - old blood, probably generated at the same time as your burrowing emby generated the red stuff Grin

sparks that sounds positively frightening! I'm glad you're in a less stressful job now, which means any spontaneous crying is obvs preggo-related!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 23/07/2012 14:23

Sweetie that is so a symptom!!

Geek and Sparks spotting it is then. Really is the tiniest amount. I will be really unhappy if this is spotting in the tun up to AF though, as I never get it, and I don't want the accu to have caused it.

Princesslovelyboo · 23/07/2012 15:16

Wow you have been chatty today! :) I am struggling to keep up. So I think we have Maybe Sweetie and Sparks confirming on the same day? Imps I hope you are limbering up Grin oh and the very suggestion I have emergency wine and ice is preposterous! It is a box of wine with a straw on sunny days Grin

well I'm off for a shower, I have just cut down 8 fir trees from my garden, it was those really fast growing ones and the name of then is not on my predictive text so I don't even want to hazard a guess at how to spell it Blush

SecretSparkle · 23/07/2012 15:21

Boo nope I'm most definately not testing on thursday, on account of AF being in resisdence!! But I think Froot makes up the tripe whammy with maybe and sweetie

Geeklette · 23/07/2012 15:22

boo how big were they? Were they difficult to get rid of? I have four monsters at the bottom of my garden that are on my side of the fence so I want them gone!

SecretSparkle · 23/07/2012 15:23

oh and boo do you mean laylandii? or some similar spelling? if so remind me one day to tell you about 2011 treegate and how it cost us £900!!
