The thought of "doing something" is good-I have been faffing about on FF adding my own "specifics" and looking at the most popular then googling them to see if they are symptoms-too much time on my hands, however, one of the most popular specific to be added was aching legs-very strange as I was moaning last night that my legs were killing me, I felt as if I had done a huge run. Also, another one was smelly urine, and even though I have been weeing loads the last couple of days I have noticed this as well!
I have no idea why I'm even trying to SS when mrhappys swimmers don't seem to be swimming very well

Hi all...
Congrats Gemma!
Hugs to all CD1s / those with AF on the way...
Nicki that sounds horrific, hope you've managed to sort something for next week.
Nothing to report from me, still eagerly awaiting ov! Just felt I should pop in as I have just been lurking for a while...:cool:0 -

I have sore legs, but it is because I HAVE been running a lot! So I don't think it counts.Secretdebts wrote: »You're talking to someone that tested on 8dpo :rotfl: my theory is get a test in ASAP so u feel like you're doing something .....

But it will only say BNP, and then I will still be hopeful, but in a slightly more depressed way! I'm having a party on Saturday, so if AF shows up by then at least I can drink. I'm happy not to if need be, it's easy enough to walk around with a half full glass all day, people don't really notice if you aren't actually drinking it. Plus being sober while hosting that many people is probably a good idea.
10pm and I have put up a few strings of lights and some decorations so house is looking a bit more festive. The tree just needs decorating, after we work out how to make it stand up straight!0 -
Congratulations Gemma :j
I haven’t posted much recently as I don’t really have a lot to say (although I have been reading every night so please don't think I am not interested). I have been tracking my cm and when it was ewcm we did BD a couple of times. Not sure when AF will appear as cycles have been 28-40 days in the last 12 month (since I came off the pill).
I know this is only month 1 and it’s very unlikely we will have hit the jackpot first month but I can’t help SS’ing - everything my body does or feels I am trying to think if it could be baby related
Today is CD24 and I think I ovulated around day 16 / 17, when would be best to test?
Birdie85 – my skin is awful. I have lots of large painful lumps on my chin which sometimes burst; it looks horrible even covering it with makeup. I have been to the doctor and he gave me a lotion but I don’t think it’s making much difference but I am too scared to stop applying it in case it gets even worse.
Hugs to all that need them0 -
Hope it went well QQGood morning:wave:
I'm getting nervous about going to the new clinic
What I don't want to hear is 'why not go for adoption/', or even 'let's try IVF next cycle'. I want to do it now:(
Littlezee, glad both your MIL and your dad is recovering well:)
Hope your MIL's house is ready soon:)
Flat is all finished now (just drying out still, especially the gloss but that'll take a few days to set fully)
Furniture is back roughly in place, but a few inches from the skirting boards etc. She should be coming home tonight. **Edit: tomorrow, not tonight! :doh:** The decorator did more than we asked for! And still charged the same rate!! :shocked:
Ugh, not enjoyable! Hope it wasn't too bad and you don't have the awful after-taste I normally getI have 1 hour in the dentist chair this afternoon :eek::eek: Root canal surgery

Ditto (well, pink)I have brown stained CM, so I'm guessing that witch isn't far away
xx
I really thought it might've maybe-just-maybe been our cycle
I had a little
with DH, and now for the warm chocolate fudge cake with ice cream to follow up the chips and pizza I just had!
