MLS - I think my AF has got lost somewhere! Ours were due at the same time and now you're speeding ahead of me! Come on AF - hurry up I want to try again!!!!!

GG oh no maybe we should send a search party out for it?!! How many days was your cycle before? When did you last do a test?

Guess what.... my af seems to have finished after three days - what is going on?? Can't rely on temps at the mo as been ill with a chest infection & am now on antibiotics & prednesilone so my temps are higher than they should be.

Gonna start my new batch of opk's tomorrow, thank God for Ebay!

MLS I did a test when I got up today, which was only about 8 hours ago!! Negative! My cycle before was 27-30 days, but the last few had been about 27 days. Maybe a bit of drinking and boogying tonight might send AF my way (AF being the perfect partner to a hangover! )

Good luck with your OPKs!

Have a fab time tonight & have a few for me xx

Hey All,

Great to hear you let your hair down last night Barbie - lol at your vodka breath . We're almost cycle buddies and wouldn't it be sooo wonderful if we were already growing a wee bean on our old EDD on Monday ( but ).

Welcome to the mad house Neeko - pull up a beanbag and settle in .

Hey Mollie!!! mwah! - great to hear from you and fingers crossed on the 2ww

I feel some xmas babies coming up! I was actually thinking the other night about getting some newborn vests and sending them to a printers to get 'Emmsy's Angel Graduate' put on them so we can all have one when our lo's arrive? Watch this space...

Jools - I salute your weight loss, keep at it and honestly the heatlhy eating/exercise doesn't have to stop when you get pg so your in a win win either way .

MLS - good luck with the OPKs. My AF is pretty short too, normally only 2-3 days

Gracie - have a good drink tonight and hopefully AF will put in an appearance soon so you can start CDing again.

Another update!

Big congrats annie! Well AF finally arrived so am not pg glad it's the hols now but have lts of marking. Will have to fit in some bd tho, perhaps if i'm not so busy something might happen

Has anyone heard from lion, was wondering how she is?

Have a good weekend y'all

Hello everyone

gg i cant believe i forgot to mention about you throwing falling down the stairs i do hope you are ok now?? take it easy love!

mollie i have been checking up on you on your other threads and fb....so i knew you were ok hence not facebooking you for a little while....ive been thinking about you lots lately too, ive been wondering about your 2ww, your symptoms sound promising. I have everything crossed for you and yes tomorrow is my edd but im holding hands with blue. barbie smiles weakly at blue and wishes she was in england for proper hand holding.....which brings me to blue i got goose pimples reading about the baby vests...such a good idea. We need to start up a fb group called emmys angels where would could upload pictures of our babies wearing them! So have you been symptom spotting? i kind of have, but am tying to stop myself so i dont get my hopes up....but its hard and my knickers are very juicy! headaches, but might be from the vodka still funny twinges low down in my belly....and my (.)(.) feel more sensitive...but again could but due to the chest excercise in the gym. Also v tired, but again probably due to my mother draining me!

neeko glad you are settling in, we are a mad bunch!

jools oh your list is a good one, very promising for a lo this month! when are you testing? i have no idea when i would test since my cycles are still not 100% and the fact that test are so expensive i need to raid gg knicker drawer for all the test she hides there

gingermummi sorry af got you this month...a jan baby for you then!

Big hellos to everyone else, hope you are all ok...lion thinking about you, mm where are you hiding? im going to stalk you on fb this evening! mls hope you are enjoying a nice weekend with your gorgeous daughter, vjay bump picture, bump picture, bump picture, barbie chants this and hopes you can hear me!, mermaid hello fellow southerner! is it warmer back home yet? curley where are you? come back soon...annie cant wait for you too change your name to big pants!

Im waiting for a hire car to be sent here so i can get out and about, fed up of using taxis and its going to be at least a few more weeks until we get our new car....i have 3 more days of holidaying and then i have to find a job!!!!

Hope you all have a happy lazy sunday, big hugs

Morning!!

AF is here, what did I tell you about AF and a hangover being a fun combination! I'm going back to bed. I'll be back later when I'm feeling more human.

Morning everyone
GG sorry that AF got you. January baby for you..
Barbie Are you recovered from your hangover yet? I'm settling in fine - love the madness here, ironically it keeps me sane.
AF still hasn't got me and I'm fed up waiting as I'm 100% sure I'm not pg so just want it to come so I can start TTC for real. What does that mean I should fill in on the list?!
Hope everyone else is ok. I'm going to have to spend some time reading back on the threads to find out who everyone is!

Feeling a little more human now. I'm quite relieved AF is here as I knew I wasn't pregnant so just wanted to get on and try again. Barbie how's the hangover??

Neeko you'll think we're even more mad if you read back on the thread!

Sorry to hear about all the AF's but clean slate and all .

Good to see you , brave little Neeko! Keep up the practicing!

Morning all!

barbie wonders in all dazed and confused this morning looking for blue so they can hold hands.....

I cried myself to sleep last night and this morning i feel strangley calm not sure how long thats going to last though, im planning to keep myself busy....ive been up since seven scanning attachments for a job, then is doggie walking time before a trip to the beach today and then later a souk for some bargin hunting!

Im not sure how i should be thinking or feeling....blue i hope you get through this day stronger and knowing you are more loved (by us) then ever before, we are here for each other through all the sad, bad and good times. Today is just one more hurdle for us.

Hugs to you all, and thanks gg for making me laugh this morning at adding a child you didnt have, if only it was so easy eh?

Morning Barbie hope you can stay strong today and the shopping at least helps to distract you.

Barbie - there is no right or wrong to how you "should" be feeling or what you "should" be thinking.

If you find you are smiling and laughing at times today, then that is what is right - crying is OK too. You are marking the day, and it wouldn't surprise me if your shopping spree included a little teddy bear for you lost LO - remembering is enough and it doesn't matter how you remember x x x

I have backache today and period-type pains that are actually getting quite uncomfortable 9DPO and AF due late Sat / early Sun

Morning Joolsiam Your symptoms sound promising but I'd try to stay from the htps for a few days yet.

OK I've tried to read back this thread from the beginning but am sooo confused - grapefruit juice, Evening Primose Oil, acupuncture?... Anyone want to summarise all your conception tips for me?

Neeko - I really really hate early testing, so will not be peeing on any sticks till Saturday or maybe later !!

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I think the longer I can wait before I know for definite I am PG (whether it be this cycle or another), then the shorter the agonising wait till the first scan will be. In my head anyway, it seems good to wait, but ask me again on Sat !!

Morning! Just wanted to say am thinking of you today Barbie & Blue... Do whatever feels right for you today... Holding your hands across our virtual land... xxx

Welcome Neeko to this lil dwelling! Its been my salvation over the last months & most of us are all a bit bonkers which makes us realise we are not alone!

I'll quickly add to the list!

AF came fri does that mean am on cd 3?!? Its been an awful one actually, had a lovely w-end with DH & did a car boot sale yesterday which was great & made loads(!) however AF became horribly heavy, got v bad cramps sat night & sun morning (like trying to pass a big clot - familiar from mc1) then about 11ish yesterday I flooded through a tampon & towel & when I changed them a massive clot came out {blush] tmi, sorry, but a bit concerned! Today gone really light. . Anyone else suffered real bad heavy AF after mc? (this is 2nd post mc)

Joolsiam Sounds like good reasoning to me but I doubt I'd have your self-control. Have my fingers crossed for you anyway.
Thanks for the welcome 4ever Your Af sounds horrible - poor u! I'm dreading my 1st AF after M/C as lots of people have told me that it can be a bad one. That being said I would just like to get it over and done with. (There's no pleasing some people!!)
