Morning all! Just checking in to see how you all are. Nothing much to report as my weekend wasn't as exciting as others. We went carpet shopping and chose light cream & totally unpractical carpets...exciting stuff!

woody my only tip would be don't start using it until AF arrives! The instruction book is very clear but if you have any questions, shout!

Wedding was good thanks thunder, lovely views. Lots of waiting though, not so great!

Someone posted that cd ov sticks are cheap in morrisons if anyone goes in. Might be worth checking out...!

peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 12:28

Dulcet did you get any ideas for your wedding? We picked up our leftover wedding stuff from my mums garage yesterday, made me sad as it reminded me it's all over, even though it was over months ago :-( I really want to try my dress on again but it's folded so nicely in a box :-/

The CB OV sticks are very good. I would highly recommend them. In the end they helped me more then the CBFM but that's only because AF never turned up.

Congratulations on more bfp's!!

Purple - I hope u get some answers thus afternoon at the doc's.

Woody - I have the clearblue monitor, this is my second cycle using it, I wasn't ovulating when I thought I was, I was infact ovulating a few days later, my periods had been a little screwed up since coming off the pill.

The announcements are hard, I had an announcement over the weekend as well, could have cried, but held it together!!

DulcetMoans · 17/09/2012 14:31

It gave me things to think about. There was a lot of waiting around which I would like to avoid but u think part of that was the fact the day was 11hrs long and all in one room! What you going to do with your dress pear, any plans?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 17/09/2012 14:31

I've read the riot act to Bri re needing to DTD more over a 3 day period. Think he was a bit surprised. See how this month goes.

Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 14:34

Oh

My

God

Just poas and there are two very clear pink lines. I don't believe it. Unless I've read it wrong I think that counts as my bfp!

Glad you had a nice time at the wedding, dulcet

DulcetMoans · 17/09/2012 14:45

Do a digi, do a digi! How exciting! To the shops with you thunder!

Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 14:52

To find out the timing or because FRER might be unreliable, dulcet? (sorry for being thick!)

peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 15:20

Oh yay Thunder! So sore boobs is a sign for you then :-) Congratulations hun! How many DPO are you today?

OP posts:
peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 15:22

Dulcet I will be keeping my dress. I have dreams that my little girl (in the future, might not be this pregnancy) will wear it one day or ask to try it on...hah hah!

OP posts:
Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 15:24

Thank you pear! No proper idea about ov but if app is right I'll be 12dpo today.

How are you feeling now? Cramps eased at all?

DulcetMoans · 17/09/2012 15:27

Oh just for dating it and to see it in writing, I'm sure FR at 12dpo is more than reliable!

peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 15:30

The cb stick will probably say 1-2 weeks then. It's nice to see but not essential if you want to save the money. I brought a twin pack and saved the second one for this week. My cramps are still here :-( I really do think it's constipation related though :-/ It's really awkward being so uncomfortable at work. I'm literally counting down the minutes today!

OP posts:
Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 15:32

Ahh that's a relief! see how little I know

Yes I'll pick one up. Can't believe it's real so will doubtless spend a fortune a bit more on extra tests!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 17/09/2012 15:32

That is a long day in one place. Ours is 10 hours , which is in a church then two different rooms in the hotel!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 17/09/2012 15:34

Wow! Congrats Thunder :-)

Sore boobs not a sign for me, sadly!

Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 15:39

Sorry to hear you're still uncomfortable, pear. Did the professionals give you any inkling that this will pass soon? quite literally

Thanks kNic. Maybe your month will be when you have no classic symptoms at all?! Did af come back again after slow start?

peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 15:56

No, apparently it is very common. I had bowel troubles a couple of months ago and I can't help but wonder if pregnancy has flared it up again as I do seem to have it v bad. Someone else suggested taking Fybogel which I had last night and that worked wonders but I can't take it at work because you have to mix it up and that would never go unnoticed in my office plus I do not want an urgent toilet trip :-/

OP posts:
kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 17/09/2012 15:56

Not really...almost done already! Suppose it is vaguely good. Though can signal low estrogen :-/

Thundercatsarego · 17/09/2012 16:32

If its so common, does it commonly pass after the first few weeks too? she asks hopefully

Good to get it out of the way kNic, sounds very much like you're still settling down so no surprise af is a bit up and down too?

peardrop2 · 17/09/2012 16:50

Thunder I really really hope so!!! Some people suffer throughout though so maybe not :-/ I've been told that the cramping = uterus growing will pass in a couple of weeks.
