    I have a quick question....with day 7 of "almost properly coming on", when do people actually start their CD1? Does it have to be flowing, red etc? Sorry there will be no offence if TMI!
    It depends whats 'normal' for you. I ended up counting cd1 as the 1st day of brown spotting coz I always had at least 3 days of this before any red blood showed, then the red 'full flow' only lasted a day or 2! plus MMC always counted my cd1 as 1st day of brown spotting, it did lengthen my cycle to 34days but after doing that it was always a 34day cycle rather than it varying from 32/31/33 etc IYSWIM, made me feel more in control and understanding of what was happening with my body if that makes sense:o
    Went to visit relatives today and SIL said my boobs were bigger and i have put on weight so u can guess what i had going though my mind ;) and a few people have commented on my weight but i think its all the easter eggs i have eaten ;) Even the OH has noticed them change which he hasnt before during my cycle, sayin that neither have i. Is it normal coming up to the witch time?

    Its been 14 months off the pill and TTC and Dr said they wont look into it until been trying properly for 18 months but im near 36 and am thinkin its too late for me re lighter and lighter periods!!

    AF due next weekend, i dont hold out much hope and as yet refuse 2 become teetotal as we only live once;) but i do so want another baby as my son is 18 next month
    Well.. you never know:) Fingers crossed:) Hold out until your due AF but after that you should start harrassing your doctor for tests, no offence intended here:o but 18months at your age is a bit too long imo, if you were 21 then yeah 18months is fair enough but at 36 thats a heck of a long time to wait, plus I thought it was after 6months you get further tests if you're over 35? Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong:o:)
    Please don't take offence over my comments, I realise when ttcing age is a big factor and I'm only trying to help:o Hopefully I'm just being paranoid though:o:)

    Sorry Gizmodo, my screen was a page behind, hadn't seen that you hate Jaffa cakes too. Should we start our own Hate party like the marmite (yuk!) one on the telly?

    and a few people have commented on my weight tell them not to be so bloody rude!

    and as yet refuse 2 become teetotal as we only live once;) but i do so want another baby as my son is 18 next month sorry but alcohol will affect your chances esp if your OH drinks it!

    fingers crossed for you.

    Blue Monkey welcome, hope you're not here long!

    Sammy girl thanks, was hoping to see you over on the less than 12 weeks. We'll get there. My two best friends and I have had one miscarriage each now, and between us we have 7 children...

    eta sleepytiger step away from the test!!

    hello everyone, CD1 for me big time. Can't pass it off as more spotting as did what i haven't done since i was a teen and woke up covered. Sorry tmi!

    looks like i did OV on day 15 which seems normal so obviously can't be right as i'm anything but normal. FF didn't bother about putting any lines on my chart in the end so i guess i'm still guessing on the OV front.

    i'm off work today yay, but now need to do the washing hokey cokey and unfortunately we've got an overcast day. Hope the sun makes an appearance soon.

    Ergh, they make me SICK. Thats how much i hate them :rotfl: I also hate marmite.

    Am i sad that im counting down the months until we start TTCing again? :o Im very excited! I even signed for for FF and have counted up my OV sticks from last time. I have enough to use just before we start so i can work out when i OV roughly :D

    Right, since this was never used when i was on here. What does PMA mean? I've taken it to mean "Positive Mental Attitude"
    But i also though 'OP' meant 'Other Party' until i've seen it means 'Original Poster'
    (which kinda reminds me of the song by The Offspring :D)

    I assme SS'ing is 'Symptom Spotting'??

    EA I'm not being funny honey but you totally must have baby brain!!! We were all slinging these terms round when you were last here!!! :rotfl: That or you just have a selective memory! Having said that, it's not the most important thing you'll ever learn I guess. :D

    I hate Jaffa's too!
