I don't share with DP but he knows when AF is here IYSWIM. I doubt he has any clue as to how that equates to when we need to DTD so I just let him know when he needs to step up :)

gennibugs · 01/05/2014 17:52

I second the probiotic tablets. I've been taking them everyday and they seem to be preventing - I used to get an attack all the time in the week prior to AF.

Stepawayfromthezebras · 01/05/2014 17:52

And I love the fact he asks you if you'e pregnant :) Like you'd find out and forget to tell him - bless!

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 17:54

My oh just tells me to let him know when he's to be a part of it and if it worked or not. Symptom spotting is kept between myself and you wonderful ladies Smile Think I drove him insane when ttc ds 2 for a year, he's glad I've got all of you this time Smile

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 18:01

Ok so I have yet another question! Sorry Smile But I was just wondering if you have a luteal phase of say 14 days does that mean af starts on day 14 or is it the following day?

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 18:07

It's ok, after days of being without google it's now working again so I was able to look it up Smile

Fleurlur · 01/05/2014 18:23

Can I join? I'm officially on my first TTC cycle after coming off the implant! CD1 of cycle #1 with a BFP due 22nd may although my app is going off the last cycle which was 21 days long! Might actually be due the week after!
I'm 23, my SO is 25 and I'm a student midwife which makes being broody 10x worse!!!!!

gennibugs · 01/05/2014 18:37

I don't say anything to DH about symptom spotting - he thinks I'm obsessed anyway and that my obsessiveness is causing stress which in turn is not helping

so I'm acting totally nonchalent and save my craziness for you lovely ladies!

gennibugs · 01/05/2014 18:37

hi fleur and welcome.
you must be broody with all those gorgeous bundles of joy you get to see!

Fleurlur · 01/05/2014 18:41

Yessss I am! Just about to head back onto delivery suite for a week next week and then onto community for 8 weeks the week after aaaah!!

KittyVonCatsington · 01/05/2014 18:50

Pat me on the back guys-finally finished all my GCSE and A Level paperwork, day before the deadline as well Grin

Feel like having a beer to celebrate but hesitant: BFN on CD29 (Wed) and AF a no show. Might just have a tipple Wink

Loving the necklace, kurama a so pretty!!!! Hope it brings you lots of Dragon luck!!

Well done Kitty, a little tipple sounds goodGrin

Stepaway....yes it's funny that he asks, bless. I do also tell him when I require his servicesWink

spinningirl10 · 01/05/2014 18:59

Welcome Fleur, what a lovely career you've chosen, hard work but very rewarding I would think.

KittyVonCatsington · 01/05/2014 19:07

A personal thank you fleur for all the hard work you and your colleagues do, daily. I hope we will be needing 'your' services soon (including you, if you see what I mean!!!)

Been reading all the cervical Lucas chat and I've been getting very thck creamy white cm for about a week and a half-rarely get it normally. English- when you were having your horrid annovulatory cycles, did you get this in the second "half"?

Fleurlur · 01/05/2014 19:23

Well thankyou kitty, I hope so too!

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 19:39

Why oh why did I leave this job application until this evening?! It's due at 4pm tomorrow and I hadn't thought of references Confused who do I ask for a reference if I'm applying for a job at the school where I'm already working?

I feel nervous and I don't even want it that badly. Just don't want to look like an idiot then have to work there till the end of summer term. But really, I'd rather go on supply and not have to worry about taking time off for preggy stuff after September (because I will be preggers by then).

Can I have a bit of moral support please dragons?

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 19:44

And I'm out of Wine Sad

Ok, procrastination technique no. 265311... Off to the shops!

Owlie84 · 01/05/2014 19:47

You can do it Retro!!!!

So sorry, haven't read back properly and I hate to dive in with a question, but I'm a bit excited!

I just poa OPK cheapie, and I've got the darkest line I've ever had - it's, darker the better, right? If so, when do you think if should pounce on DH? We can't dtd too much so just want to finally get it right this time?!?

Dragon Dragon Dragon Dragon

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 19:51

Now Owlie, pounce on him NOW!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 01/05/2014 19:54

You can do retro!!

Owlie Pounce!! Now!

Kitty- I had a bit but not much. But then I don't really get that much anyway. What I have got now is def creamy but not in abundance. Fx for you!

spinningirl10 · 01/05/2014 19:58

Definitely jump on dh now OwlieGrin

You can do it Retro.....and if you're stuck we'll all write you a reference!!Grin

Owlie84 · 01/05/2014 19:58

Woo hoooo!!! I'll open a bottle of wine and hope he's relaxed enough to want to! Grin cheers ladies!

KittyVonCatsington · 01/05/2014 20:10

Retro, can you put your head of department/ line manager and your subject's SLT, as a reference? Good luck!

Right, got a wierd SYMPTOM for you ladies to help me decipher... Just ran a hot bath to relax after pulling a few 14/15 hour days (I never normall have a hot bath in the TWW) and my stomach after 5 mins started grumbling loudly and have had (TMI alert!) diarhea. I can still hear my stomach gurgling-it won't stop!!!!!!!!

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 20:31

I'm in primary Kitty, I am my subjects line manager Grin I'm going to ask the deputy tomorrow and leave the head of the school I was at before as my second.

Back from Sainsbo's. Got Actimel that I'm going to double dose (am and pm) to combat what DH calls my 'bird thingy'. Also got Pink Grapefruit to chug for the next week for Cervical Lucas, pineapple juice for post-ov implantation vibes and a bottle of wine to stop me worrying about the job app. Which I might get finished if I stop fannying about on here.

I'm essentially leaving it the same as when I applied before Christmas with very few tweaks. Figure it got me the job then... To. Much. Stress!

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 20:37

Pink grapefruit juice is yuk
