    Ladies - can OH and I stop BD'ing now? I'm getting a bit fed up!

    I mean, it's far too late in my cycle to OV right, and it looks like I did 4 days ago so there is no point anymore. Yes?
    Yes, you two can have a rest now, hopefully until the next year:p

    Hugs lilymay. It's been an up and down month for you this month - sound very tough.

    Looks like we are cycle buddies after all as I am continuing to get AF cramps, although she hasn't shown her face just yet.

    TY. Hugs needed :( I have also just read a pregnancy announcement on facebook - EDD 25th December...


    The cramps arn't AF ones (they usually only appear hours before AF shows and I get a feeling in a ladybits too IYKWIM?) I'm just have a pretty strong feeling it hasn't happened this month. Something doesn't feel right and with my 2 successful pregnancies I had ovulated much, much earlier in the cycle as both my EDD's were brought forward at the scan (and that was when my cycles were ALWAYS 25 days)

    I just feel gutted. To be honest, I should be sort of pleased. If I had gotten pg this cycle, I wouldn't be eligible for my companies mat package so I atleast now I will be. But still :(

    Hugs for everyone else who wants/needs them. Atleast I have a cycle buddy in you T2D :)

    Good morning:wave:

    Tinkwings, yay for the Olympic tickets!:j
    Which discipline?
    And what's with your OH?

    Athletics !! -

    Ennis is the current world and European heptathlon champion and her seven-discipline event is one of the first athletics medals to be decided at the Games, at primetime on Saturday night - just after the women's 100m final on an electrifying evening in London

    OH - I feel like he doesn't want it like I do :o:(

    Things are a bit different for me too - cramps don't usually show up this early, but they do feel a hell of a lot like AF. I have been out tonight and may have had a few sneaky glasses of a beautiful red wine, but not much.

    Had dinner with friends with their 2 year old and 8 week old. Lovely to see them, but almost physically painful to see them with such a beautiful little family. Very jealous.. which is bad I know, but hard to avoid.

    Good to know that you have gotten pregnant on 25 day cycles. I feel bad complaining about short cycles when I know lots of people on here who have very long cycles, but I worry that perhaps such short cycles are a problem too.

    Re Mat leave, I remember worrying about that last September... not such an issue now! Been there over 6 months and still not a whisper of a second line on any HPT. :(
