It's 4:30 in the morning so this won't be a long contribution but I have just been trying to catch up and couldn't read and run without sending Ibeka huge hugs. What a horrid experience and yes, you should write a strongly worded letter of complaint. How can people be so insensitive?! I hope you're okay.

frog no judginess here! Those ladies taught me how to knit. Have since forgotten though Sad

Mummyofonesofar · 09/04/2015 06:52

Flashy smiley here - Only got static last month. Do we think EOD on flashy or just go for it every day until after ov?

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 06:56

Sorry to hear of the house nomio :( don't encourage me though, I am holding out with Victoria like a good girl :)

night Smile

Pretty sure I've got cramps this morning. On knicker watch for spotting, hate these last few days...

What were you doing up at 4am duck ?!

Do I need to catch up on the April thread? Sounds like a missed a lot last night! I was having a movie night with dh which was far more important Grin

MorningSmile

Purdey, thank you so much for the vits info. I have emailed the vit chart to myself and will read later. I've ordered the stronger strength Q10 for us both and I'll get some l'arginine and selenium. We can do this PurdeyGrin

Right got to dash, off out with dp, ds, dd and her bf, have a good day ladies Grin

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 07:20

Oh no Victoria, hope that AF doesn't show her ugly face! Great news on the film night though :)

Mummyofonesofar · 09/04/2015 07:39

victoria glad you had a nice movie together but boo for cramps.

spinnin enjoy your day with your dd, I hope it is lovely Flowers

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 07:58

Morning all! Just trying to have a catch up over breakkie, I see I missed out on loads last night! DP took me out for wine after he got home from work followed by a takeaway, yum. Pre conception diet is back on today Smile

Got loads to do today before I go back to work tomorrow. Big shop, beef stroganoff into slow cooker, meeting heavily preggo mate for lunch & mooch around town, big pile of ironing, interval run....all in that order before DP comes home. Probably won't have time for all that so might have to ditch the ironing Grin

Hope everyone is well this morning, I'm only on p14...

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 07:58

DH just told me to POAS, how am I supposed to stay strong now!

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 08:00

Dizzy I did intervals on Tuesday and my lower back has hurt since, is this normal or have I damaged myself?

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 08:01

eskimo did you go for the large display pink thermometer? I ask because that's the one I was having problems with.....

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 08:26

Oooh sorry I missed you lot last night needing a detectives help detective that couldn't even find her own ov last month

So, you girls sit tight and I shall send a uniformed officer full of spunk around who will fill out a whole load of paperwork with you, whilst I do the searching from the comfort of my desk whilst trying to ignore the obligatory donuts because donuts don't get one pg

night mmmm, sore back doesn't sound good, maybe you lost your form? Did you tense up when you were doing your faster effort? Is it stiffness or pain that you're feeling?

mrsb0710 · 09/04/2015 08:31

Dawdling along catching up, and I almost missed my train!

Thanks for the list purds. If the budget can stretch this month, I might get some q10.

CD 4 here. Trying to not pressure dh as much this month. He said he knows his duties!

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 08:34

It's an ache Dizzy not a sharp pain. Thinking about it it probably happened when the fly flew into my eye and I came to a very abrupt stop, pretty sure my form was not maintained then! It is feeling a bit better this morning so hoping it's healing well :)

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 08:42

Possibly, also is it the first time you've done intervals because it could be as simple as you've used muscles that haven't been used before? I'm always getting plagued with mystery aches and niggles. They usually vanish as quickly as they appeared. Hope you feel better soon!

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 08:44

Thanks Dizzy I haven't done intervals in a while so you are probably right! Was doing the whole hand on back pregnant lady thing last night but without the baby bit :(

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 08:46

Yet.....Wink

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 08:48

So, Peter Stringfellow is having a baby with his current wife Bella (32).

They've got to have AI'd, right? Confused

Mummyofonesofar · 09/04/2015 08:53

MrsB don’t miss your train! So many times on my old commute did I miss my stop. I once got on the wrong train going home unwell from work and ended up on a 30 min straight train to London, then got off at Charing x and ended up getting on the wrong train again right back to where I came from with no stops! Longest journey home ever…..

Night ignore DH, don’t poas yet, leave it as long as possible. Stay strong! (Please remind me of this in 2 weeks time..)

Dizzy Did you get a new one? My hot pink one works great. My temps are rocky though. However, the last week I have been taking my temp at 6 sharp rather than 6.15 and my temps have levelled so maybe I toss and turn from 6 onwards so it is the best time to take my temp from now on.

nightandthelight · 09/04/2015 08:56

Will do my best mummy and no testing at 5dpo for you this time!

DizzyNorthernBird · 09/04/2015 09:02

Yes mummy I suspected my pink one might have been faulty so I went for another babymad one. The new one isn't as techy as it doesn't have a backlight and it doesn't bring up your last temp next time you switch it on, however so far (it's only been two days though) it just seems to work a bit better. The old one seemed to 'stick' between a narrow range of temps making it difficult to pick out ov. I played around with the new one when it arrived, I.e I took my resting temp and 'working' temp after I'd been moving around doing chores and noticed a significant rise as you expect, whereas the pink one barely registered any difference!

To be honest though when you read the Amazon reviews most of them seem a bit hit and miss, I guess you get what you pay for though.

Mummyofonesofar · 09/04/2015 09:04

I did well last month and testing at a slightly better 11dpo but determined this time now that I know I have a 12 days LP, waiting until CD14 is my plan as i would be officially late by then.

Mummyofonesofar · 09/04/2015 09:13

Correction - I tested at 10dpo, but still it was better than 5.... Night How many dpo are you?

victoria401 · 09/04/2015 09:21

I have asked if I can move back on to the April bus. A lot of us have been following both which was what we were trying to irradicate by making this megabus! Most of our old chums are over there anyway! If the April bus is now going to be a mega bus too, shall we just move back?
