Thanks for all of your support lovely frolickers! I am employing the motto ?Keep Calm and Carry On!? Lots of deep breaths and biting my tongue. The pils do need to get back to work asap and are both quite stressed about being here. Their airline has now said that they will put on extra flights etc but can?t do that until they know when British airspace will open again. So, it may be sooner than the 7th May (keep all fingers etc crossed please!) I just want my house back to myself! I am not going to rant anymore because there is nothing I can do about it On the plus side, my best friend and her dp are still stranded in HK too (luckily they are in a hotel!)so we are seeing them again this afternoon and my dh is being SUPER lovely to me. I think he knows that I am a woman on the edge and is trying to ensure that I do not loose the plot with him!
I plan to lock myself away this morning and ?prepare for my interviews?. I will really be catching up on MN and all of my TV programs that I have downloaded. I must have about 10 episodes of Eastenders, 4 episodes of Holby City and 2 of Waterloo Road to catch up on- what an exciting life I lead
In ttc news FF is not showing that I?ve ovulated yet which is making me annoyed as I thought my cycle was settling down and getting into a bit of a pattern. I?m on day 25 with no sign of OV. I don?t know whether it might have anything to do with the fact that I have input my temps differently this month. I usually put them in to one decimal place eg. 35.8 but this month I have been putting them in as two decimal places e 35.86 so they seem more erratic. I feel like I?ve ovulated, cramps, lots of watery/EWCM but its?s still too early for me to know my cycle properly. When AF comes this month I think I am going to try some reflexology to see if that helps.
Anyway, enough of me wittering on ...finally I?m going to catch up!
Oh mrswajs- so sorry to hear about your DH?s job. I?m pleased to see that you have got your coping head on but remember that if you need to unleash/rant/let it all out then we are here and you can maintain a calm exterior in real life!
cavemum- as you can see from above, I am a nightmare with noticing changes etc. I have already vowed to myself that when the time comes for me to ttc, I will not do early tests as I know what I will be like! When I was ttc before we decided to wait I was terrible- I even had to get mt dh to hide tests from me. I wanted to test everyday!
pinky- I feel for you with no sign of AF. I think that has to be one of the most frustrating things ever, when you have a BFN but no AF. I might have missed this in all of my skimming through but how long have you been off your pill for? I managed to get the pils to the airport yesterday but unfortunately they came back! We should have done that runner you mentioned! Try not to get too worried about your AF, you might have just ovulated really late in your cycle due to illness, stress. travel etc and I read somewhere that it is ?normal? for women to not ovulate one or two cycles a year.(I?m not saying that you have ovulated by the way, but you know what I mean!) I?ve just read further down and seen that your cycles have been decreasing in length and now I feel for you even more! I think that is what situation I?m gping to be in tehis month... last cycle was 38 and I was all excited that they were getting shorter and now here I am on day 25 with Fertility Friend not showing ovulation. It?s so annoying Isn?t it? Glad you had a nice BBQ and hope that burn turns to tan soon
lovelyflo- thanks so much for doing the list! bunny are you lurking??!! You have a rival for list/stats bunny Did you enjoy your weekend with your friend? whereabouts were you off to? Did you take your CBFM in the end?! My jobs are both in teaching. They are promotions within the school I am in so I?ll be able to make them both as they are just down the corridor from each other but it makes it more annoying as teh people organising them know that I have applied for both jobs and still decided to schdule them on the same day! Oh well, lucky I work well under pressure I guess!
zippys Hope you?re doing ok. Come back and let us know how you?re getting on. I am really certain that once you have the hormonal problem sorted out and when you?re all balanced again that you will get that BFP. xxx
misshoohaa any news from you? Your symptoms sound great! Am keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you.
aries I thought of you the other day as I snuck a bottle of cough medicine into my shopping trolly I have not tried it yet- It?s happily sitting on my bedside table at the min ready to try next cycle. I for one enjoy your sex life updates so feel free to continue !! Glad you made use of that EWCM. Has the weather been hot this weekend in the UK? It?s raining here just to add to the greyness of my situation. Ignore that! Just seen that pinkie got sunburnt and had a BBQ so it must have been hot!
claire Hope the trade fayre is going well this weekend. You seem to be a very bust bee with your music and trade fayres. Your life sounds very exciting!
kkas Keep up those ?failures?
Glad you?re still here kaloki. Sorry to hear about your yucky blood tests- sounds like you were very brave. I hope they gave you a special sticker I am sending good vibes your way that is is NOT coeliacs. Let us know when you get your results xx
wannamummy How are you feeling? I know you?re trying not to symptom spot but anymore signs? I?m really hoping AF stays away for you
pips- I?m another grapefruiter! I really find it does make you more juicy he he!!
dinky sorry about AF my love At least you have a very regular cycle now so it should be nice and easy for you to know when to test next month when you get your BFP I am so with you on the AF symptoms being different from month to month- how annoying and it is a joke that AF and pg symptoms are the same. I remember ages ago on this thread we were saying about how it would be really good if the pregnancy symptoms were really obvious like if your wee went bright green or something! Also sorry that you have mil problems. Why does she have to view your houses?!! RAHHH thats the sort of thing mine would do! Just count your blessings that she is not stuck in your house with you for the forseeable future! Good luck with the house hunting! Have you viewed any yet?
Hi calyx! I can?t wait until your comp is fixed. Fingers crossed that you just have alate ovulation this monthxx
bellaby thanks so much for your sympathies! How was the wedding? I LOVE a wedding! Was it a friend or family members? The election idea sounds like a good one! they would hate to miss that!
cavemum- he he, that party sounds so fun!!
cherry- my temps are similar to yours. Sometimes even lower at around 35.7- I hope that we are all normal!! By the way, I am very impressed that you have left over easter eggs Also very jealous of your evening watching trashy TV with your dh. That is what had planned for this weekend after being so hectic with vistiors for teh past however long. We were just going to relax and catch up all weekend but oh well! I am definitely getting gret wife and daughter in law karma- you?re right! My own mum thinks that this is hilarious and the funniest thing ever. She says that is is bad karma for me moaning about them when they were here! I told her I am not powerful enough to set off a volcano!
evilgiraffe Glad your still checking in with us, Good luck with that blood test and let us know the results when you get them. The day you get your AF is going to be a massive first time frolickers party! and kurly too.
OOOOOO just thought- kurly was going on holiday to Malta (with her skimpy bikinis !) Do you think she is stuck?! Calling kurly.... are you stuck in Malta?!!
I still have welcomed the newbies- appleCharlotte newclaire and womanlytales so hello and welcome to our lovely thread!
Big waves to papertiger, stiffybyng,chalky, sevans, chico calligrapy and seablue if you?re lurking
Right I?m off to actually prepare for my interview and catch up on TV. Suppose I will have to actually leave my bedroom at some point today! DH and I are embarking on a diet/exercise plan tomorrow so I also need to do our week?s ?menu?. We had planned to start tomorrow as we thought the PILs would be gone by then and we?re still going to do it even though they are still here as there are now 9 weeks until the end of my school term and I want to have lost the stone I have acquired since my wedding by then! My dh does not need to diet, bless him, but is motivating me along. We plan to try and walk some of the way home from work each day and to go swimming on Mondays and running on Thursdays. I?ll keep you posted! Anyone else want to join me on a lose weight for summer diet?! I figure it will give me something else to obsess about.
