Flirty & Bluestar re. my famous secret weapon: It?s pretty much a belt.

Only joking, it?s a stretchy blue ra-ra to wear around the house ? not something I?d do normally but I hate sexy ridiculous underwear and this little skirt looked surprisingly good with a bit of fake tan & my fake uggs ? or so DH thought ? lots!

Have a nice evening all - we're going to have a little BBQ. x

Hi to everyone else - pressure is on now for the rest of us beginning another cycle!!

Cd 4 and John Wayne month starts tonight (not taking any chances this month )

Right folks,

I'm all packed and ready to go! Woo Hoo! Just wanted to say have a fab 10 days everyone !! I fully expect the BD fest to continue without my supervision!

I am back on Sat 2nd August, so don't worry where I have disappeared to! Hopefully I will have some nice piccies to post on my profile when I return. (DP said this afternoon that this might hopefully be our last summer holiday 'just us'!! How exciting!)

Lots of love and luck to you all ***
CE xx

FlirtyThirty · 23/07/2008 20:51

Mandy...pmsl!
I have a ridiculously short mini ra-ra skirt that I wore to an 80s hen party...think I'll be digging that out next weekend for the love-in I'm planning!
I think it's a top tip...

have a great holiday ce - relax and enjoy yourself!

MJIM - it is going to get hotter today

DawnAS · 24/07/2008 08:07

Morning All,

Well MJIM, I hope my little Pip doesn't take after me!! I was a Baton Twirler and I don't fancy guessing which of my organs pip would choose to twirl!!!

So, another day in the office But I guess every day that passes it gets closer to the weekend - !!

bluestarlavender · 24/07/2008 09:13

Morning all,

CE - have a wonderful wonderful relaxing holiday!!

Mandy - I'm going to go shopping at the weekend to buy me a ra-ra skirt!! See if that does the trick with DH . Shockingly he's already asked me if I want to go to Bluewater on Saturday - he hates shopping!!! I think it's the lure of Yo Sushi that's causing such abnormal behaviour!

HC - I finally got myself a basal body thermometer...but it's actually an all-in-one fertility monitor too. Boots didn't have just a thermometer and when I asked someone, she was completely unhelpful and told me they only had digital ear ones. Anyhow started temping properly this morning, so fingers crossed that it picks up my OV day

MJIM - sounds like your bean is having a lovely time jumping about. It's very sweet!

Flirty - did you get the pre-seed sachets from ebay?? I might get some of those as you're right, they sound less scary!!

Big wave to everyone else!!

FlirtyThirty · 24/07/2008 09:24

Hi Bluestar - Right, I bought the regular Preseed (which you insert inside you) and the 'sachets' as a bit of an afterthought...I couldn't work them out online. When they arrived, I think I would recommend the sachets, but I say that having not used either yet (AF still in residence). I bought them from Access Diagnostics - I've used them before and they are great! Fast shipping and good prices on all OV/PG stuff.
www.accessdiagnostic.co.uk/acatalog/PRE-SEED-UK.html

The sachets can be used on DH as well as on you, if you get my drift...

Now, I'll be trying them out on about 30/31st so if you want to wait until after then, I'll give them a full, public review!

Mandy - have looked out the ra-ra skirt! Roll on OV! I'll pmsl if everyone gets a BFP after donning a mini-skirt... (Mine is black...hope colour isn't a factor!)

Everyone - morning!

FlirtyThirty · 24/07/2008 09:27

Oh, and this'll make you laugh. DH thinks I'm going for 'Wife of the Year' having found and enrolled him in a new tennis club. He used to play a lot and then stopped. We recently moved house so I tracked one down and he went last night and loved it... Little does he know I'm on a covert, let's get fit mission!

Oh, and I've been swimming and tried tyoga for the first time (my God, I cannot believe how wide some people's legs can go!!!

Oh BB! Lovely to hear from you - and you will be PG again soon! There is lots of positivity around this thread at the moment...

That's for the tip on Preseed reaction...will keep a look out for that. Maybe I'll spread out the uses..? Sorry for asking, but do you mind me asking how many times you used it on the month you got the reaction (I realise we are all different, but just curious..)

Thanks Flirty!! I might have to get some sachets as well as that ra-ra skirt!!

BB - thanks for the pre-seed tips too!! I might try a little before properly using, if it caused a reaction...I want to make sure we can BD at the right time this month, after last months sickness. Anyhow, how you doing?? I'm also based in South (East) London....so pregnant ladies some baby dust aimed in our direction would be lovely.

Mandy73 · 24/07/2008 11:14

I'm v impressed with you gearing up for another BD Fest girls.

Oh, here's another Top Tip that may or may not have worked for me: Drinking a glass or two of grapefruit juice a day (100% real juice, not from concentrate - I was on the pink stuff, sometimes mixing with OJ - less bitter that way).
It makes for v good fertile CM (and to be honest better BDing ).

BB I totally understand the feelings of but you sound v chirpy & chilled right now = GOOD! I'm crossing everything for you.

Here's some baby dust coming down from Oxford to London & all over, catch it BSL & everyone else in need:

Waves to everyone, enjoy the sunshine! x

OOOh, Thanks for the extra tip, Mandy.I'm going to send DH to Sainsburys in a min to get me some!! Both working from home today!!

BSL x

FlirtyThirty · 24/07/2008 11:30

Mandy - thanks for the grapefruit juice tip! I LOVE Grapefruit juice...will go out and stock up! Hmmm...perhaps a grapefruit for breakfast for me too...
I'm beginning to feel quite excited about this month...just hopign I can get DH in the mood for some lovin'... I could eat all the grapefruits in the world but without his compliance in the deed, I'm stuffed!

F.x

daisyj · 24/07/2008 13:36

bb, officially baby dust has reached South (East) London. I can vouch for that, because...

BFP!!!!!

In the loos at work, with expensive First Response tests (two!) after BFN on Sunday (CD30 must've been too early for cheapie Boots test).

Haven't got much in the way of symptoms, except sore boobs, but not so much as last time (and not as big, either!). Am too scared to go on ante-natal club thread, in case doesn't work out again. Can I please stay here...?

bluestarlavender · 24/07/2008 13:52

Daisyj - Congratulations!!! That's fab news and so quick!! Baby dust is everywhere!! And it looks like there are three of us over in this neck of the woods!!

Drinking my first glass of grapefruit juice now!! Yuck!! I don't like it!! but will drink the nasty medicine if it helps make a baby!!

BSL x

daisyj · 24/07/2008 13:58

Thanks, BSL. I've heard the grapefruit thing before, actually. Get drinking, girl!

bluestarlavender · 24/07/2008 14:41

DaisyJ - finished the nasty stuff! Might have to mix with OJ to make it less bitter next time!! So have you told DH?? And when is EDD?? So excited for you!!

BSL x

DawnAS · 24/07/2008 15:44

Hey DaisyJ, I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before....

Congrats again!!!

Maybe the baby-dust trails behind my posts.... That's all three threads that I'm on have had BFPs a day or 2 after mine!!

Catch some more dust girls!!
