Im trying to be parabens free too, coffee and toots. As 60% of anything you put on your skin is absorbed into the blood stream, I figure it's good thing to avoid them if poss (so Liz Earle has been my beauty range of choice for years and I've just started selling Neals Yard Remedies). However, I do believe in balance so I'm not quite giving up some of my sls laden fave productsWink

Spinning - i would just take the sticks x

MissMrsMummy · 18/11/2014 22:47

Oh interesting about parabens - I will be checking everything!

AF is here this evening so I am off to the Dec bus.

Hope you are all ok and hope I don't see you anytime soon (in the nicest possible way of course!) x

Enjoy your holiday spinning bit jealous!

Interesting about cinnamon I've never heard that before and I love cinnamon.

Well af was due on Monday I've tested again this morning on a cb digital and bfn. I'm convinced as it's all I'm thinking about I've managed to delay af. According to ff my fertile window is 11 days away.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 19/11/2014 06:15

Sorry af arrived Miss. Yours was quite late too wasn't it.

Pikz · 19/11/2014 06:19

I'm out. Af this morning Hmm

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 19/11/2014 06:23

Sorry pikz Thanks. Good luck on the December bus.

Treaclepie19 · 19/11/2014 06:58

So sorry miss and pikz
Think I'll be joining you. 10dpo and bfn and temp drop. Af will arrive today.

HippyStar · 19/11/2014 07:42

I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me? 5 days late today, no symptoms apart from feeling bloated and much more thirsty than usual, plus I can't sleep. I had a few spots of brown on my underwear yesterday (TMI) but no flow, it is not AF. I have been utterly regular on a 25 day cycle for the last 6 months and haven't been on the Pill since June. I read that implantation bleeding can only happen before AF is due so now I am confused. This is cycle #1 for us. I have tested last Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a combination of cheap tesco tests and Clear Blue and all have come back BFN. What is happening? Anyone else going through the same?

ohlordyplordy · 19/11/2014 07:59

Sorry af has arrived miss and pikz. Good luck for a Christmas bfp.
treacle fx af isn't on her way x

gennibugs · 19/11/2014 08:26

Morning all. Happy hump day

miss and pikz sorry AF arrived.
treacle I hope AF isn't en route for you.

massive temp dip below the cover line and AF cramps so reckon I'll be out today/tomorrow. I'm not surprised as I've come to expect it.
Guess I'll be jumping on the December bus soon though not sure whether to try in December or leave it and just wait to begin with the clinic in January.

I hope no one else is faced with AF today. We need some bfps ! who is next to test?? Grin

gennibugs · 19/11/2014 08:28

spinning I think I'd be tempted to ditch stuff. If on holiday you're likely to be dtd plenty and it might take the pressure off?

hippy have you taken any vitamins or supplements that might have delayed AF? Have you tested on a first response early test? Fx no AF is a good sign for you!

HippyStar · 19/11/2014 08:32

gennibugs Thank you for your reply Smile I haven't taken anything different this month to what I normally would, only Berocca but I take that regularly Confused I haven't taken a First Response test, I did google to try to find out which was the most sensitive test and saw that one was recommended but I can't find anyone who stocks it! I really hope you don't see AF Flowers

ohlordyplordy · 19/11/2014 09:00

hippy first response are bogof in boots at the moment Grin

Cariad2014 · 19/11/2014 09:02

Morning all. 14dpo at this end and I have a feeling that AF is imminent.

Thanks for the injection of positivity yesterday Blueberry - just the tonic I needed. Fx this is your cycle.

Genni - sorry about the temp dip. Sad Enormous hugs Flowers

Big hugs to you too Victoria. Keeping everything crossed that the assisted route works for you. I so want us all to have 2015 babies.

Treacle and Lucie - I'm still keeping everything crossed for you. When are you planning to POAS?

Spinning - As Genni suggested, I would ditch all the paraphernalia and just focus on lots of dtd on holiday.

kissinggiraffe · 19/11/2014 09:09

Sorry for the af arrivals, same for me this morning. oh well onwards and upwards ladies. We are a cycle closer to our bfps Smile
Good luck to all still in with a chance. There must be a flurry of bfps to come...

ohlordyplordy · 19/11/2014 09:13

Sorry af arrived kissing I'll have fingers crossed for all of you on the dec bus.
genni and cariad hoping af stays awayFlowers

nutelladipper · 19/11/2014 09:27

Sorry for all the afs arriving.
I'm on cd23 today and I tend to have cycles of anywhere between 23 and 29 days! I think based on ov I'm due on Friday cd25 but I'm officially paranoid AF is imminent.
Xx

victoria401 · 19/11/2014 10:11

Urgh, sorry to hear af has got all my cycle buddies :-(

I'm still waiting for proper af after my random 12hr bleed on Sunday! Cramps and backache and on crotch watch. Had a week of feeling all this crapness. Wish it would just arrive and go swiftly so I can feel well again!

Stuck in my little lone working lab again due to the rest of the trained technicians being sick/off again. Luckily there is a little staff loo just next door to keep popping into :-D

Bovnydazzler · 19/11/2014 10:52

Morning all!

Well the cheeky witch is having a field day today, sorry to all the many of you who have got AF today. Let's hope the December buses gives us our BFP Xmas gifts.

Sorry you've got a lonely day ahead victoria hope it goes quickly.

I haven't tested since Monday (cd 43, 11dpo) when it was BFN. If AF doesn't make an appearance, I'll test on Saturday (16 dpo) but no symptoms, but prefer to see AF than another stark white second line!

I reckon if you have a 25% chance of getting pregnant in a cycle, and there is a 78% chance a FRER would be positive if pregnant on dpo 11, then that leaves me with a 5% statistical chance of being pregnant. Not good odds but not quite out!

blueberry how are the clomid symptoms this time?

HippyStar · 19/11/2014 11:21

Oh that's good I'll pop in there today and see if I can get hold of one, thank you for that Smile

Wowza it's quite in here, seems like there's not many people left on the bus now, 2dpo and twiddling thumbs waiting to see what's going to happen.
I'm sure this is a regular question but have any of you had success ( or failings) with acupuncture? I know I'm still early days in the amount of cycles I've been ttc but I'm wondering if it's worth trying? Feel like I want to try and throw everything at this conception marlaky

mzzzf · 19/11/2014 16:28
