    Good morning:wave:

    atton, you do an amazing amount of exercises:T
    Gemmzie, (((hugs))). I always feel slightly depressed during the 2ww as well. It's the hormones:o
    Tinkwings, those minis are amazing:cool:
    codemonkey, (((hugs))) for constipation:(
    I don't know about laxatives, better ask:cool:
    KScarlet, I take pregnacare, but any old folic acid is fine. People avoid normal multi-vitamins as they contain vitamin A.

    As for temping, you take it first thing, before moving/talking/eating/drinking or going to the loo. You should get a BBT thermometer which has 2 decimal points (like 36.78c).
    A lot of us chart using fertility friend website (free). Click any of the names on the Team Sticky list which are blue:cool:

    Ph? Do you mean ovulation predictor kits?
  • Morning All.

    Still no AF, a calculator that i had a home said i should have had them on Sat....

    Trying not to get my hopes up but this morning i feel a little queasy. (this could be nerves!)The only other symptom i have is believe it or not burning ears and fluttering in the left one lol could just be an ear infection:rotfl:

    My tummy is bloated and still cramping so not sure if i am a 28 day girl or longer between AF's :cool:

    Watch this now that i have typed this AF will come along ;-) xx

    Morning ladies :j,

    CD4 for me today, and day 3 of clomid. No awful side effects so far (v pleased about that!) Was a bit over-emotional on saturday but I think that was the effect of the olympics rather than the drugs lol. Got appt with FS this afternoon for TV/US - always fun!

    QQ - so lovely to have you back:T. Hope you had a great time with your sister.
    abis - thanks again for keeping us in check while QQ was away, you did a brilliant job :).
    teaandcupcakesplease - fingers crossed!
    Kscarlet - hello! Here's to a speedy conception for you :).
    codemonkey - I quite literally feel your pain with the constipation! A combination of adhesions on my bowel (lovely!) and far too much codiene mean I'm always constipated. AFAIK laxatives are ok in moderation, although obv I'm not a dr so you may want to check that. I find lots of pineapple juice can help.
    tinkwings - bet it was AMAZING!! Saw your pic on fb and was v jealous!

    Someone (think it was QQ, have a sieve memory today) posted something really sweet the other day about follicle tracking being a v early chance to see your potential baby (or words to that effect lol). Thank you whoever it was, that's really struck a chord with me and I'm actually trying to enjoy this time and make memories of it it, IYSWIM.

    That is so sad about Kavic's OH :( Thanks for posting it TTC40.
    Glad you had a nice time with your sister QQ. Enjoy eating naughty foods whilst you can! :)

    Expecting AF this week, maybe Wednesday? Not really expecting a BFP this month as my timing felt off. :o Bless OH though, he's still so clueless, despite the fact that I told him when I *thought* I'd OV'd so he should have figured that any BD since then is for fun and not TTC yesterday after we DTD he said 'Phew, that *has* to become a baby!', I didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise! :rotfl:

    I'm still feeling super bloated, but that could be from all the German beer on Saturday night. Bierkeller was amazing! If anyone has one near them you've got to go, it is so much fun! :)

    I can't help but daydream about getting a BFP on Friday and having to hide the fact that I'm not drinking at my friends' wedding on Saturday!:o
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    teaandcupcakes any time after expected af is ok to test. Good luck.

    QQ can you reset me to 4dpo today?

    Feeling hyperemotional today and even though i showered and put anti perspirant and clean clothes on this morning, i am convinced i smell of BO. I've used my spray 3 times today.

    I'm debating testing....I tested on Thursday and thought there was a little line but then thought it was prob an evap line as it sooo dissapeared. I don't want be dissapointed :-( what do you ladies think I should do?

    Ive not been SSing this month like last month, but last week I was feeling queasy and super tired. Today I've work up feeling really sick and hungry. I already ate a cereal bar, a flap jack and half a sandwhich this morning!!

    Frustratingly pre AF symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms can be almost identical! The only way to know is to do a test - if you think you are at least 14 days past ovulation then I'd recommend testing with first morning urine tomorrow (or hold your wee for a few hours this afternoon!)

    It's difficult, but best to ignore any 'symptoms', or lack of them (!) at such an early stage.

    Good luck - fingers crossed you are pregnant :)
