Diege - F&Z asking about eyelash tinting on a pregnancy thread...I knew you had some gem about hair dye that might be useful?

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:19

great. Dp and I both took last week off work and so we have been out and about all week and weekend doing things with dd.

I came on on the first day and really thought that the rest of the week would be a flop but it hasn't it has been great.

Done so much but spent so much money.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:21

Hiya LL, do you know about Teuch's BFP? Can't remember when it was

Did you have a good weekend?

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:23

Sorry x posts, was trying to think of what has happened, but I think that was it!

Glad you had a good weekend, and that your period didn't ruin it

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:25

Oh my god I forgot about Teuch. She had BFP with ebay cheap tests and was worried that it might not be true.

Yay teuch glad it was a REAL LINE, you must be due december then, lovely time to have a LO I think.

NJ when are you testing????

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 17:27

ff should finally confirm ovulation tomorrow as cd36

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 17:29

hey im here now! how is everyone? xx

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:36

I only OV'ed yesterday, haven't worked out yet when will be good to test, am hoping I can forget about it for a while and then remember very helpfully when I am a week late!! Probably tomorrow knowing me!!!

Evening BB, good day?

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:37

oh good luck Tink.....

DP and I are going to doink everyday from today CD6 until CD25 (I had a 30 day cycle last month and 28 the month before). No falling asleep on the sofa this month...

If that doesn't get us a BFP then we are going to get one of the clear blue ov testing kits for next month.

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:38

I am not testing unless I am at least a week late in future. No sir e.

Hay BB glad to see you are back, was worried about you before I left... How are you? Has AF arrived??

i got my dd1s baby annabel in the post earlier ( is for her bday) it makes such cute sounds and sucks its bottle with proper sucking movements is so luvly
only £13 on ebay

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:47

Tink, how come you now think you OV'ed later? I am trying to understand this temping thing, but everytime I read something about it, it get's more and more complicated...!

BB, I luff Eminem, well, not him as such, but his music I think whether or not you like the language, he just tell's the truth, and stuff it if people don't like it, I like his mentality.... can't believe I have just said that! And some of the videos are hilarious

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 17:48

my niece got a little boy dolly for her bday. Went to see them on sat and she was showing me then called me into her room and stripped him off and said look he even has a willy.... She was rolling on the floor laughing at the fact he has a willy like daddy...

She is 7 and so funny now.

excitedtinkerbell · 28/04/2008 17:50

everyone else has said that i ovulated cd36 according to graph!!
i find it all very confusing 2!!
should probably test may 14th as that is when i would be due

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:52

LOL LL, my little sister was obsessed with her dolls, even to the point where she'd get up ealier than everyone else to make sure she had changed their nappy and clothes, and given them their bottle before she got ready for school, this was every day for years, not just a phase! Anyway, my point being, as soon as she got a new doll, the first thing she would do is take it's clothes off to see if it had anything there Still remember her face now when she found her first willy, and that was about 15/16 years ago

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 17:55

So is OV determined by the rise in temp, rather than the drop?

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 17:58

aww n j we are so similar, i love everything about his music, i especially fin dit so moving when he talks about his love for hailie

i loved dolls for a bit i had a babyborn..i was facinated cos it pooped!!!

CosmogirlIsStillWaiting · 28/04/2008 18:02

Evening all,

Bit concerned by all this talk of condoms splitting . Reminds me of that bit in Friends where Joey goes 'condoms are only 98% effective? - they should put that on the packet! So, like, 2% of the time they don't even work?!' Gotta love Joey.....

Well, am bit bemused by AF. Seems quite light and no where near as painful as withdrawal bleeds on pill. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's just a bit strange. Maybe it was coz I came on over night that didn't feel as much discomfort as normal. Just kept waking with crampy tummy now and again.

Hope that next cycle is a better length. 71 days was taking the 'p' a little.

Hi to everyone I missed earlier!

NatalieJane · 28/04/2008 18:03

I know BB, DH being his typical old man self couldn't stand him, but I told him to actually sit down and listen to what he was saying, and now although he would never choose to put one of the CD's on, he can just about tolerate me playing it, it is just that I don't get much chance now, as much as I don't mind the swearing, I think it could be a little too much for the kids!!

I never got the doll thing, well except for Sindy, but not proper baby dolls.

nobodyputsBBinthecorner · 28/04/2008 18:03

hi cos! i love joey too!
my AF was quite painless too maybe nature is being kind ha ha! x

lardylumps · 28/04/2008 18:05

I was a big tom boy so never liked dolls. My sister was well into them though.

Squackycake · 28/04/2008 18:05

The day the temp rises higher, above the previous 5 temps, indicates O the previous day.
So for instance:
cd15-97.1
cd16-97.2
cd17-97.1
cd18-97.0
cd19-97.2
cd20-98.0
cd21-98.2
cd22-98.1

You would say that O occurred on cd19. ff charts would confirm O with 3 higher temps.

Make sense?

see here

It's a good example

Nj DP is the same, the song when im gone actually reduces me to tears the line"have you ever loved someone so much you've given all fo, not the expression literally given all for them, when they know they're youre heart and your there armour.." gets me going every time!! x
