    Ok I'm breaking my golden rule and ss'ing someone please stop me! In 2 and a half years of trying I have never had an lp of more than 12 days and that has even had 1 day of spotting before as well. Now the end of 13dpo and nothing! af cramps that I had yesterday and today have now gone. I felt nauseas last night but put that down to the works xmas do last night but feel the same again tonight. We also went out ealier to a Christmas festival and it was very busy around the market and I just thought I wa going to collapse, I've never felt faint like that before. I'm trying really really hard not to get my hopes up but it's the first time in 2 and a half years of trying I've got to see the message on my status on ff "you are beyond your usual lp you can take a test as you may be pregnant!" I am also trying to think positively if it isn't this month so my whole world doesn't come crashing down around me when the witch arrives! Wow what an essay!

    My best friend at work is pregnant. She just told me (nobody else knows except DH and her folks and sisters), she thinks she's 5 weeks - going to the docs tomorrow. I'm so excited for her (and slightly scared due to it only being 5 weeks) and insanely jealous at the same time!

    I WANT ONE!!

    ellie I'm not doing to bad with regard to seeing DH! I'm a teacher so I finish on Friday and have 2 weeks to follow him round where ever I need to be. So yeah, from Friday evening we'll be joined at the hip for 2 weeks give or take a day or two.

    I'm so excited...I'm rubbish at keeping secrets though so part of me wishes she hadn't told me. Thank God we'll be off for 2 weeks as part of the time before she can tell people! Argh....sooooo excited! BUT I WANT ONE!

  • Twinklie; would it be so very disastrous if you did fall PG. I know that OH is doing a PhD and living away but...suffice to say, I've known others in far worse situations!!!!

    Thanks Ellie, I doubt I could hold off until friday! I did a test yesterday and it was bfn but I guess in the scheme of things it is still early. I do need to know asap though as need to come off my meds if I am pg. I can't help but think about it if I do get a bfp for Christmas. It would just be the most fabulous Christmas ever, and I don't think I'd be able to find the words to thank my reflexologist! It's been 2 years and 10 months so my feet are still well and truly on the ground (I know it doesn't sound it but they really are!) but it's further than I've ever come before so on the plus side even if it is a negative I will have managed to increase lp!

    Oh yeah I know. But DH doesn't want to...so I can't make him. I don't want to force it upon him. But needless to say if it did happen accidently it would be one HAPPY accident!!!
