    Think I'm joining the symptom spotting clan - I just feel spaced out and weird today - had no drugs, legal or otherwise!! Its like when I've taken my strong painkillers, got no concentration, feel a bit sick and got got a low dull ache on right side. And as for being touchy! I've never been (fortunately) a PMT sufferer - Af due next Thursday. I doubt will be this lucky after first AF following coming off Depo.

    A little advice please.
    Should I mention that I'm ovulating when I call him later? Have any of ye found that it makes things easier or harder for the guy? If I mentioned it, it may make it easier on him as he would know what to expect when he comes home. Whereas if I just spring at him insatiably I might frighten him off. (I feel like I'm talking about him like he's a lost bunny or something.:o) But last time I was ovulating was a few weeks after the mc and he wasn't ready and I went nuts and smashed a plate. I really don't want to repeat that.:o:o:o

    GracieP, firstly...breathe....relax....make tea and sit down, I personally would not tell hubby you're ovulating if you've agreed not to, only because he might then come home and with the added pressure not be able to perform the deed anyway? Mayb instead of calling to tell him you're ovulating you could call him and tell him what underwear you're wearing ;)
    ....maybe that would get him in the mood before he got home and then he'll be the one jumping on you when you get home?

    Good luck whatever you do!!

    Hi all, been lurking a bit recently - huge congrats to LP, Elle and Angela :j :T :beer:

    AF arrived here yesterday, so I'm on to month 3 now. Am feeling completely stoned :o as I have to take painkillers every month for the pain (honest guvnor :p :rotfl: ), I would dearly love to have a kip but can't because I'm at work, still, only another hour to go.....

    Does anyone know, if AF is just delayed cos of stress, does that mean this past month is just a longer cycle than usual and I'll prob have a 28 day cycle like usual next month, or will the next one be shorter to kinda catch up? Sorry for the silly question, just trying to work out when AF is due next, but I guess I need to wait for this one. Ya know, I never really believed that stress could delay AF... until now :rolleyes:

    I've had a few delayed AFs due to stress, and I've always found that my next period is the usual length, and it doesn't "catch up".
    Really pees me off, because I feel like I get less chances a year than other people anyway because I have a 34 day cycle. I guess other people are worse off than me, but I don't half find it annoying.

    Hi guys, Guess what? A second Halloween BFP from me (congrats Elle!)
    Was expecting AF during our move but she didnt show and then did a test (well, 3 actually!) and they were all positive! I cant believe it but am really pleased - and pretty terrified at the same time!
    I feel absolutely no different to always apart from still a bit periody to be honest.
    I have to tell you one thing though, I was doing access diagnostics tests from 1 day past AF due and they were all negative - I even did one today after my 4th positive (this time on a digital test which says I am 4 weeks pg) and it said negative. Of course I could have got a dodgy batch but there is no way of knowing so I would say that its worth the money to get the proper tests, certainly once you are late...
    Good luck to everyone and lots of dust!

    Congratulations!!!

    Which tests were they? I have a batch of Early ones from Access - I need to get a BFP as early as poss next time so I can go to the docs - bit worrying if they're not so good....

    Congrats again reetyre!

    Funny you should say that about the AD ones.. all of the AD ones I used came up negative but that was all before and one the day AF was due. I've actually only done one CBD which came up positive. I'm staying at my parents until tomorrow but when I get home (other home!) I'll try it again with the AD ones and report back :)

    Congrats reetyre!

    I'll be interested to hear what the latest BFPs have to say re the AD tests.
