Gah, thanks to English I have now self-diagnosed thyroid issues Hmm my hair has been coming out in handfuls in the shower. I read up and there is a four month or so lag linking stressful events to hair loss... Evidently the boozy Christmas took it's toll Grin

I prefer to think it's a delayed reaction to coming off the pill.

lindamagoo · 02/05/2014 18:16

Not feeling like af is on her evil way at all. If I get up to the unannounced flood in the morning I'm going to be gutted and drink a gallon of wine tomorrow night

Starbright24 · 02/05/2014 18:19

Linda - just looked back and seen your photos. That was what mine were like day before I got obvious line on frer. Grin

toots123 · 02/05/2014 18:20

Evening all!! Not much to report here, im 2dpo I think!
feeling very positive though and actually enjoying ttc these days. Been visiting a lot of friends and family who have babies and just cant wait for our bfp! I used to be scared to even hold a baby and now it would seem im first to agree to a cuddle!!

Last month was the first time I knew when I ovulated so hoping we have nailed it this month (thank god for cb digi opks!!)

Starbright24 · 02/05/2014 18:25

Oh..and they have taken a week to get darker - still not that dark really but done frers and tesco tests also to be sure.

lindamagoo · 02/05/2014 18:27

Star I'm just feeling all out of sorts today, don't feel pregnant and don't feel like af is coming and spent most of the day in the bathroom with an upset tummy Hmm Feeling sorry for myself. Think I'll wait until atleast Monday before I do a FRER or digi

lindamagoo · 02/05/2014 18:28

When did you start testing and get a line star? What dpo?

victoria401 · 02/05/2014 18:40

Hi, just popping head in. I'm on cd4 so boring boring. Not even peeing on opk (bastardsticks-cant even say it out loud!). Af has gone already so that's good :-)

I'm toying with buying a dragon egg pendant for luck.... Have saved the page to my bookmarks. Trying to decide which colour would go with more outfits....

Good luck to all the pee-ers!

spinningirl10 · 02/05/2014 18:45

Ooh Linda, don't want to get your hopes up but I had a dodgy tummy just before I got my bfp last time!

Victoria, the dragon pendants are pretty....still waiting for my fertility bracelet to arrive from USA!

lindamagoo · 02/05/2014 18:50

Spinning I've had it a few days but today was the worst, feel better this evening though. I do remember thinking I had a tummy bug before my BFP with ds1. Don't want to get my own hopes up, lol

toothachereturns · 02/05/2014 18:57

oooooo so many of you ready to poas over the weekend! very exciting. Smile Good luck!!

I'm on cd 16 of a (normally) 28 day cycle. No idea when or if I ovulated as had no symptoms, but a positive opk at cd7. Hmm

Seem to getting ovulation pains today though and that horrible bloated IBS feeling. Confused Not great for dtd.
Only one thing for it.... curry. Grin

Fleurlur · 02/05/2014 19:10

I can't keep up!

Congrats lady!

Oooow I forgot what pre-contraceptive period pains felt like.

Had 2 crazy baby dreams the last 2 nights, last night I dreamt I had a baby but kept forgetting to feed it and the night before I dreamt I went to the hospital to have one baby but turned out it was twins. Only had one of everything so had to strap both into the same car seat. :S bizarre!! Hormones make my dreams so trippy.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 02/05/2014 19:20

Just pointing out to those who are wondering about thyroid, I have underactive, have done nearly 20 years. Yes it's a pain in my side! It's quite bad tbh but hasn't prevented me from having 5 perfectly healthy children who are all thyroid disease free. It's just z question of getting the correct dose which is usually easily fixed in just a bit awkward. So all is not lost even with hyperthyroidism I promise xx

RetroHippy · 02/05/2014 19:22

Well, I now have a fanjo full of yoghurt Hmm

Apologies to those who don't know me yet Grin I'm not scared of an over share!

Taking Activia l.casei whatdjamacallits twice a day and have just shelled out £9.99 for the flucanozole pill.

I will kick the ass of this before O-Day. 4 days before I have to be back in action...

mistywillow17 · 02/05/2014 19:22

fleurlur, I'd forgotten how painful they were too - I shouldn't have forgotten, really, given that was the reason I went on the pill in the first place.
I haven't had weird dreams for a while, but I once dreamt I stole a baby from the hospital - I felt awful and stricken with guilt all day afterwards

MrsExtraOrdinary · 02/05/2014 19:23

Steer clear of the Chardonnay this weekend retro stick to red! Wink

Fleurlur · 02/05/2014 19:26

Hahaha retro I've done the yoghurty fanjo before! thrush is so uncomfortable :(

Aww misty I hate the guilty dreams feeling!

RetroHippy · 02/05/2014 19:40

Ugh, can't stand Chardonnay anyway. I am an exclusively red girl. I pretend it's good for me Grin.

Not sure if the advantages of the grapefruit juice are outweighed by the cons of all that sugar. I'm cutting out all the healthy fruit I've been eating too... It's never bloody straightforward is it?!

kurama · 02/05/2014 20:07

we saw one flat that we both really liked and its 2 bed Wink now just waiting to find out how much it is (unsure as in middle of being done up) and also waiting to find out if landlord kind enough to lower rent for us. if not im hoping to snap this one up. yes its top 2 floors of a block and no outside space for poor kitties but it does look lovely Grin

had several sharb stabby pains on lefr side while shopping today and an ache (still there) on right side... cd19 today of a 29 day cycle. still trying to be optimistic about getting a bfp this month but it gets harder each month. even considered foing to a palm reader today! Angry fx for anyone poas this weekend. ill be cheering for you all Wink

now I think im gonna run a nice warm bath and stick music on and try to relax and think happy bfp thoughts for an hourWink Wink Dragon then im gonna go rub my lucky dragon egg necklace lol Dragon rawrWine

mistywillow17 · 02/05/2014 20:10

well you made me spit out my chenin blanc retro with talk of your yogurty fanjo - glad it was white wine and not red as it would have stained the carpet!
I am trying to cut down on wine consumption, in readiness for potential BFP, but not finding it very easy at all. Maybe associating wine with visions of yoghurty fanjos will help.

RetroHippy · 02/05/2014 20:22

Glad to be of assistance misty Grin

ladyflower23 · 02/05/2014 21:15

I am also trying to cut down Misty...but then i thought relaxtion is good for conception so i opened a bottle of Leff Smile

Last day of shaggin tomoz before i start my 2ww. Releived my fanjo needs a rest.

Retro i love an overshare!!

fancyacupoftea · 02/05/2014 21:18

Just popping in with a new disgusting phrase.

GUSSET CUSTARD.

I.e. discharge.

Retro Not sure how custardy yours is right now though. Conflict of desserts going on in your knickers.

JacktheLab · 02/05/2014 21:26

Evening all,

no af, but no bfp either, so onto tomorrow!

My first antenatal group had primagate around about the end of our first trimester, fancy your mention of GC above reminded me of that! We are a bunch of oversharers ;D

JacktheLab · 02/05/2014 21:26

or primulagate doh!
