Just so that everyone knows, since sparkly wondered.

Queenbee30 · 15/04/2015 08:14

Sparkly sorry you're having a tough time. I hope you get answers and your BFP soon.

Sorry I basically said hello then disappeared for a few weeks! I've been lurking around like a creepy stalker but I promise I'm not a leg rubbing old pervy man. I find it hard to post on my phone. Bad excuse I know. I'll try harder.

I think I'm down on the stats to POAS tomorrow. That's a bit of a laugh as my cycles are clearly fooked. I only came off the mini pill in Jan, and had one AF 2.5 months later. I've been using the CBFM since CD6 (now CD25) and have had nothing but lows. I got some impressively stretchy, so much so I had to show my DH who finds it hilarious EWCM CD21-23. I have no idea if I've ovulated. But have DTD CD15, 17, 19, 21,22,23 and 24. Tired now so going to just wait and see.

Some of the things I've seen posted by other lovely Angry Pubes really resonated with me. Particularly on feeling so distracted at work, and also returning to previous unhealthy behaviour on eating disorders...I've been bulimic and anorexic and had my first return to disordered eating last week. But think I'm back on track now. Just wanted to say, I've found it so comforting to know I'm not alone, even if I haven't posted. Hope this isn't too intrusive/dredging up conversations that have moved on. Flowers

Flowers eskimo

Queenbee30 · 15/04/2015 08:15

Also no dildocam for me Aux!

frogbubbles · 15/04/2015 08:16

Morning all,

Sammy good luck today

Oyster yay for the angry pubes!!!

FF has given me angry pubes today as well. Not the little dashes just a solid line, anyone know why???

Oysterbabe · 15/04/2015 08:16

Good for you Sammy Grin

The only thing we have left to do before the wedding is finish making the favours.. I think that's it! We have our final meetings with the venue and photographer tonight.

My hen party is on Saturday and I think I'm just going to drink and not worry. I'll be 6DPO. If there's a bean in there it won't have implanted yet so won't be sharing my, rather boozy, blood supply. Right? Hmm

Oysterbabe · 15/04/2015 08:17

Frog I think the dashed lines mean it's not certain about it.

frogbubbles · 15/04/2015 08:19

Queen good luck for stick peeing tomorrow I'll have my fx for you

frogbubbles · 15/04/2015 08:21

Thanks oyster I'm very pleased with my solid lines then. eek!! Smile

nightandthelight · 15/04/2015 08:23

MN is stealing all my posts today! Just wanted to say thank you to Sparkly for her kind words and also to comment that I am pleased that oyster is also a cold one, makes me feel more normal!

auxiliaryauroch · 15/04/2015 08:24

woolly I am jealous that the men folk need not worry about ovulation timing/temping/AF etc!
My theory (ahem) is that at some point soon they will discover that men are similarly complex and that on a monthly basis there is a period of temperature rise/dip preceding an extra-large production of brand new sperm, and if you catch that temp change combined with their own LH surge which you test to cross reference, then wait exactly five weeks but also calculate through a set equation the amount of sperm exiting the man during that time through sex and masturbstion by measuring volume of semen and a sperm count test, and you time ttc sex in the morning and when the man has had at least five hours of uninterrupted sleep exactly five weeks minus volume of sperm lost as per known equation, you will have a guaranteed top-notch 30% change of getting upduffed.
I'm certain of it.

auxiliaryauroch · 15/04/2015 08:25

yay queen pleased to have a dildocamless friend

nightandthelight · 15/04/2015 08:28

No dildo cam for me either!

I do think it's unfair that sperm counts have fallen so much over the last century yet it's us women who have to do all the TTC work!

Oysterbabe · 15/04/2015 08:28

I am cold, both in temperature and just generally Grin

Pikz · 15/04/2015 08:36

I think my temps confirm ov on cd 29 so I won't be testing til next Friday

No dildocam here either but I've had more than my fair share!

Sparkly lots of love if you decide to test today big squishes

Good luck to all appointments and dildocam!

Vic how did the digital go?

Queenbee30 · 15/04/2015 08:40

oyster will be fine to drink - enjoy your hen!!!

DizzyMerry · 15/04/2015 09:35

Enjoy your hen party oyster.

A cold one here too and no dildocam either. Have seen enough of those!

sparkly thinking of you.

purdiepie · 15/04/2015 09:43

oyster hurrah for angry pubes and yes! you sexed brilliantly!

Aux you're completely nuts. Love it.

Lucie, yep, it will be your Dh's direction-less sperm that's problematic, but they're going to get the best of the best from him. Hurrah!

I'm off to th'Asda to try and find an interview outfit for, like, 10p.

Thinking of you Sparkly. You can do this. You can cope xxx

frogbubbles · 15/04/2015 09:58

Purdie I thought you had a nice dress for interview. They have some nice stuff in asda that's pretty reasonable.

spinningirl10 · 15/04/2015 10:06

Aux, I'm liking your man theorySmile

Queen, fx for you.

Lucie, sounds like you have a lovely trip planned. I'm looking forward to your updates.

Purdey, good luck on the dress hunt.

nightandthelight · 15/04/2015 10:09

Good luck with dress hunt Purdie!

Colleague has been telling everyone I am pg because I was off ill. Am now having to tell everyone I'm not while pretending that I find this oh so funny when really it makes me want to break down in the staff loo :(

Sorry my posts have been v depressing recently!

loopylou1984 · 15/04/2015 10:13

Just had dildocam and the lovely lady who did it said that everything looked fine and she thinks I ovulated from the right side ( Purds I'll now be on the look out for a right sides raised gland to see if the theory is correct). So I assume my temperature will shoot up tomorrow, although she did caveat it with 'I can't be completely sure'.

So nothing to report, nothing to fix, why am I not pregnant?! X

DizzyMerry · 15/04/2015 10:14

Night your colleague is an idiot and will just look like a ridiculous gossip. We all feel depressed and down at time but you will pull through just fine Flowers

frogbubbles · 15/04/2015 10:15

Night your posts aren't depressing. Gah! I hate it when people do that, sending hugs.

Sammy that's brilliant news, I'm so pleased it all went well and things are looking good in there.

Queenbee30 · 15/04/2015 10:16

Oh night your colleague needs a good slapping. Visualise giving them a right good whack whilst gritting your teeth. Hope you're ok.

sammy I have no advice, but hope you're ok.
