I'm out of limbo (yeahy!) but due to AF (boo!).

Will see some of you on the Feb bus. Hope it's not too many of you (for all the best reasons)

MundayCakes85 · 03/01/2014 16:24

Afternoon ladies I've had the chop and put a photo on my profile. If anyone recognises me, and DH didn't when I rang the doorbell afterwards, please don't tell anyone what a crazy lady I really am! Off to catch up on the afternoon's posts x

Munday! You look fab!!!! Whit woo Wink

WakeyTryingAgain · 03/01/2014 16:46

Still no pre-period cramps. With my endo I'm usually in a lot of pain this close to AF being due!

Munday the hair looks fab!!!

PetiteChouette · 03/01/2014 16:47

Munday - the haircut looks fab!!

ImaginaryHat · 03/01/2014 17:37

Congratulations punky and broody, and anyone else with a bfp that Ive missed, what a lovely start to the year Flowers

Mama sorry af got you with such a short cycle, how strange! At least you get to stay on board though, good luck for this month.

Hi onelife, hope you're doing ok. Lucky cycle 8 for us im sure of it!

munday your hair looks great, not everyone can rock hair that short but you can for sure! What a lovely thing to do.

KitKat1985 · 03/01/2014 17:58

Hi all.

Munday your hair looks fabulous! Honestly, it really suits you, and all for such a good cause too! xx

I've slipped into poas obsession. Have been peeing on internet cheapies since cycle day 18 (ridiculously early I know, but I've gone a bit mad), and am now on CD22. All BFNs so far. Probably not surprising Thank God they are cheap or else I'd be broke right now! Near enough am anyway It's not helped by not really knowing how long my cycle will be. Last month was 36 days, but was my first cycle off the pill and my hormones were all over the place (was spotting mid-cycle, etc, which never happens to me). Hoping for a more normal length cycle this month, as pre-pill was more like 28-30 days.

Had a crap day at work, and have taken all the Christmas decorations down since getting home. Feeling a bit 'meh'. Really hoping my luck comes in this month. DTD CD6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 20. I so desperately want this and the 2WW is driving me mad! Am trying not to get hopes up though, and don't 'feel' pregnant (not that I know what feeling pregnant is like, given that I'm still TTC #1)! Only slight difference is I have had a lot more EWCM than usual for days now, which is a bit odd, and I can't have been pre-ovulation EWCM for a week surely?

I'm sorry I can't remember who asked but someone asked what other people do about caffeine, alcohol, etc in the 2WW. I've decided not to change my lifestyle until I get a BFP. However, I'm quite lucky in that I'm not really a heavy drinker anyway (maybe a glass of wine in the evening 3-4 times a week). I'm not into coffee but have 3-4 mugs of tea a day. I think that providing your regular lifestyle isn't too excessive it's best to carry on as normal. Have certainly realised from other posters that this could potentially take a while, and don't think putting whole life on hold is such a good idea!

Anyone testing this weekend? Smile

Blithereens · 03/01/2014 18:04

I've got achy boobs and having dizzy spells, plus tea has started to taste horrible. First cycle and I'm already symptom spotting! It's probably just a cold Grin Testing next weekend, I think.

onelifeonechance · 03/01/2014 18:11

Here's hoping Imaginary, here's hoping Smile Hope you're getting along ok. Must be our turn soon surely?!

MundayCakes85 · 03/01/2014 18:13

Thanks for the positive comments, feels weird but nice to know my hair drying time is significantly shorter!! Hi Mama, short cycles are weird, will you go to the Drs about it? Does seem odd.
I'm on CD 24 and don't even know if I ovulated this month. Didn't use OPKs but temps are all over the shop with getting up at random times.
Who's next to test??

broodylicious · 03/01/2014 18:18

Thanks hat Grin

Hopefully there'll be some more of you hopping on to the sept 2014 baby bus soon!!

We did soft play today but yuk, nausea is making its ugly presence felt already and combined with the thousands of kids in there today (it was raining, plus last day of school hols), I did not enjoy it. DD was so tired having hardly slept last night that she didn't enjoy it as much either, poor thing.

I would defo say to those of you wondering about caffeine and alcohol etc not to obsess with cutting out all that you enjoy - I promise you, from bitter experience, that it will make you more miserable for doing so. Docs and mw only show concern if you're drinking five or six big cups of coffee a day or hitting the bottle every day as it could pose risk to baby but until you've got the bfp, honest, don't stress at this stage Grin xxx

WakeyTryingAgain · 03/01/2014 18:18

I'm going to test again Sunday if no AF....anyone be testing with me? I am working Sunday though so can't decide whether to use FMU and then if by a miracle I am I have to go the whole day at work without seeing DP, or wait until I get home (because I won't of had anything to drink for a fair while)
What do you all think?

lucyfluff · 03/01/2014 18:44

Thankyou onelife :) and yes it WILL be your turn soon!! Im keeping my eye on you guys :)

LH I cant believe your stilllll in limbo....you must be going nuts!!!!

spinningirl10 · 03/01/2014 18:45

Munday.....lovin' the short hair, it really does suit you Grin

sazzlehopes · 03/01/2014 18:48

Munday - amazing on the hair, suits you and what a nice thing to do!

Onelife hi nice to see you back, think I need to keep a low profile this month to stop me going mad! We'll madder than I already am!

mum2kiss · 03/01/2014 18:54

They say morning pee is best wakey ;) although I got my last bfp at 5pm!

munday your hair looks great. It really suits you.

Im getting all sorts of af type twinges today so really expecting to see her some time tomorrow!

Choccywoccydodah · 03/01/2014 19:34

Wakey if you dot want to test until later you can always piac and test when you get home, it'll keep Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 03/01/2014 19:37

Munday you look stunning!! I actually prefer the short :)

WakeyTryingAgain · 03/01/2014 19:48

Ooh I might have to do that then. I always piac as opposed to poas because I use the internet cheapies but never really considered whether it would keep or not.

stewietakestheworld · 03/01/2014 20:10

Until today I had never truly appreciated how expensive the privilege of finding out whether you're pregnant or not is.

Where is the best place to get internet cheapies from? Amazon maybe? I reckon if I do get a BFP it'd show from Wednesday onwards (this is based on very rubbish maths, but hey ho!) so there's time to order then become obsessed...

mum2kiss · 03/01/2014 20:13

I got mine from amazon this morning. £1.95 for 10...not sure if thats a good deal but 19.5p each seemed cheap enough to me!

KitKat1985 · 03/01/2014 20:14

Mine came from Amazon. A pack of 20 was only about £3. And they are quite sensitive as 10miu. Saving me a fortune on 'proper' tests!

LaceyLee · 03/01/2014 20:20

Munday I cant see the pic but that's an amazing thing to do! Hubby and I are doing dryathalon this jan (also good for TTc - though I do agree its generally a good idea to enjoy your life even whilst TTc in!) but thats really not a huge deal!

I decided to do a very early opk expecting to get a negative result but have my first ever positive! It's only cycle day 7 but I have been known to have the odd 22 day cycle in the past so maybe I'm in for one of them (after one of 66 days?!?)... Or maybe the test is wrong but the two lines are identical colours?

I also got a bag of hpts, opks and a thermometer for £10 off amazon btw. DH says I am a geek and I have to say I fully agree!

Choccywoccydodah · 03/01/2014 20:38

Stewie I get mine from ebay £2.29 for 20 the more you order the cheaper they are Smile
