Kitty is there a specific point during the month reflexology is advantageous. It was ever so relaxing last time i went, but into 2ww now. Should I wait until af inevitably arrives?

I'm such a dipstick i calculated my edd wrong if successful. Thought Xmas day, no it would be New Year's Day. So if Sod's law has anything to do with it, I'm definitely in for a bfp. Last 3 pgs all late, if I hit either of my siblings birthdays I'll be in for it. Oh fuckety fuck. You'd think at my age I could count 40 weeks! I'll be doing my poas with fear and in trepidation. My siblings scare me!

KittyVonCatsington · 12/04/2014 13:58

Baby comes when baby's ready MrsE Grin LittleExtraOrdinary can put up a good fight, I'm sure!

The reflexologist won't press as hard during the tww, mainly so if anything happens, the reflexology won't be blamed. It can't cause miscarriages, but you know we can worry!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/04/2014 14:07

Kitty I'm a firm believer in coming when you're ready! Grin that's why I'm always late ds2 was 10 days late. They threatened me with induction and I stood my ground and said he'd come when he was ready as the others did. He was born in his bag of waters, he's the most laid back, happy go lucky, determined clever, gorgeous boy. He's got longish curly hair, looks like a little surfer Lol he's 11 tomorrow. Can you tell I miss him Wink

Right so that's cool then I shall tell the moany family that I just won't have a baby on their birthdays. I just will refuse to give birth, lol Grin

Is anyone finding hay fever kicking in already. I've got another cold. Reflexologist said I had issue with sinus. And since I've had one cold after another. My foot went all jumpy and it left like pins on my toe when she touched there. Must book in again!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/04/2014 19:13

Been out house hunting this afternoon! Needed a change of scenery. Found a lovely house hoping we can afford it got back thought I'd have a bath. Momentary excitement at areole darkened. Until I realised one lightbulb out in bathroom! Blush Tempted to take a pic, but would die if I accidentally sent if to a customer!

MrsGingerbread · 12/04/2014 20:23

MrsE I loved the bathroom story! Good luck with the house hunting!

Quick frer question... Do the 'test early' statistcs stilll hold true if your cycle is a bit shorter? (26 days, LP 13 days). Odds of the right result were good for today (3 days before af due) Just wishful thinking after today's bfn.

MissMrsMummy · 12/04/2014 20:44

Good question, MrsG; I've often wondered the same.

victoria401 · 12/04/2014 21:02

I feel your pain blueberry I also feel I'm heading towards a mini breakdown. The last 3 or 4 weeks I've been very down and teary and turning into a bit of a recluse, like I don't want to go out with my friends. We had another work mate announce a preg yesterday, the 4th since we've been ttc, 5 if you include wife of a colleague.

I can't praise reflexology enough :-) I started with a 6 week course back in Jan to get my body back into balance, then a few fortnightly ones to ease me out to a monthly maintenance. I have booked my monthly sessions to be just before ovulation so she can work on my reproductive bits. And it also makes me feel calm and happy. Its at her house in a gorgeous calming room and I can speak about anything to her. She also had trouble ttc so can sympathize and advise. Perfect :-)

Sorry you're feeling rubbish Victoria, hope it passes soon.

xBlueberry88x · 12/04/2014 21:27

Its just so hard af is due wed/thurs and I really want to test in the morning if the way I have been feeling isnt me being pg theres something wrong with me

I think I'll try reflexology or something next cycle if I can handle it heading for a mega depression at the mo

kurama · 12/04/2014 21:38

well im out ladies Sad had soe pinky cm while wiping. and had the worst mood ever at work today, came home and cried my eyes out which i havnt done since i left my last job. ill stay and keep an eye on all you lovely ladies and hope u all get your bfps Grin

MrsGingerbread · 12/04/2014 21:45

Thank you English. That link is very interesting. :)

gennibugs · 12/04/2014 22:09

Thanks English for that I'm going to bookmark it I think.

Sorry some are feeling so low today.Sad

MrsGingerbread · 12/04/2014 22:29

Thank you English. That link is very interesting. :)

MademoiselleG · 12/04/2014 22:59

Aaaw kurama...sorry...On the bright side: your baby will have a much more civilised birthday than if you were pg now! (small consolation, I know.)

Fellow passengers, advise: DH and I have been rowing ALL day. I am super tired, he is hyper sensitive and I am not sure why, but he has zero patience with me. Today, the tone just instantly flared up for the slightest thing. DD witnessed one of the 'bad' rows and I feel dreadful because she was clearly confused. Want to wipe her memory... Anyway. Point is: REALLY do NOT want to dtd. But am on cd 14 so I probably should. But the OPK have shown blank circles this morning so probably not point to force myself. What would you guys do? - Although quite frankly, even if you all voted 'shag', I'd probably still struggle. Can't even stand going to sleep next to him right now.

Oh dear. Please tell me this will pass and get better and we will manage to get pg somehow. Right now, I am not feeling too hopeful.

kurama · 12/04/2014 23:15

lol made more civilised than mine 2 weeks before bloody christmas I wouldnt dtd tbh. unless ur into angry sex....Confused hope you both feel better in morning!

MademoiselleG · 12/04/2014 23:32

Haha kurama, no, I'm not really into angry sex. I just cannot understand how he can be so sweet and loving one moment and then suddenly get super angry. I guess I must be VERY good at pushing the right buttons. [ahem].

DH's bday is also 2 weeks before Christmas and he LOVES it! Yet again something we disagree about.

I hope you're feeling ok. Have a bucket of gin for me please!

kurama · 13/04/2014 07:38

well you can tell him a disagree too! ive always hated it. when I was little I always wanted a pool party like my friends and now im older its always been a struggle to get friends to come out for a drink as they are skint/at work crimbo partys. plus its 2 bloody cold to get all dressed up and look nice. not that your dh has that problem lolWink

Treaclepie19 · 13/04/2014 09:21

I did something stupid... As my luteal phase is only about 10 days.. I thought i might not get to pee on anything.

POAS this morning and obviously bfn. 7dpo

xBlueberry88x · 13/04/2014 09:52

Same treacle im about 10dpo I think but clearblue says no argh now I feel sad

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/04/2014 10:16

Ladies.... read the link I posted last night. There's a reason you may be getting bfn's. If your bean is yet to or has only just implanted you need to give it a few days for hcg to build up. Read the link I posted last night, it's very interesting. Hope in a few days you get your bfp.
Even if you have a short lp, it doesn't mean you will get your bfp earlier. You could still implant at day 10 of an 11 day lp. Therefore the bfp prob wouldn't show until at least 13dpo

Treaclepie19 · 13/04/2014 10:19

I know English, thats why im annoyed with myself. I knew there was no chance of getting a bfp but still did it.

Nordicmom · 13/04/2014 10:26

I read the link English , interesting stuff !
So I tested ridiculous early like a week early ( why may you ask well I'm here bored by myself and really sick with this cold plus imagining symptoms again I guess). Well bloody hell there's colour a beginning of the line on the cb never the less not even frer or ic ! Now I'm going to have a horrible wait for each morning ... I think I seem to have imp early around 5/6 d like some people can .

xBlueberry88x · 13/04/2014 10:30

Already read it last night knowledge doesn't stop the desperation lol

AF not even due till at least wed so I knew it was a long shot

KittyVonCatsington · 13/04/2014 10:58

Not sure I like that saliva kills sperm-remember reading those FAQs before and going Ahhh! Not sure how else to perk up DH - have a feeling striptease to music might just make him laugh!

Another blank circle CD13.

On other news, enjoyed watching the Marathon-route is at the bottom of my road and weather is beeyootiful! Might treat ourselves to pub garden later Grin

fancyacupoftea · 13/04/2014 11:01

Morning everyone!

So I haven't been around on this bus at all (was katecupoftea on Feb and March buses). Took time off to see if ttc would be a bit less stressful and tbh it has been the past couple of weeks.

Hope everyone is doing well and will be reading back through to see who's had good news and who's been got.

I've been using the cb digi OPKs for a week now - no smiley face. EWCM has been and I think is going. Could I have just missed the surge only testing once a day? Or is it likely to be something more sinister?

I'M NOT STRESSING. HONEST. I am a little bit
