    Hi all, newbies and lurkers included.

    I have read through but my mind has turned to mush today, going to try and get an early night as have a meeting with work tomorrow at midday :( think 2 might be early enough. Have done the cooking for all this week and borrowed the steam cleaner from my sil so will be cleaning the next few nights.

    Big ((hugs)) and sad faces to all those with BFN and AF. :(

    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 :o

    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 them

    If you ov around 16 or 17, then roughly 14 days after that AF is due. So CD30/31. But could be shorter or longer depending how long your luteal phase is. I think 10-16 days is 'normal'.

    Well I'm feeling so so guilty right now :o As I really thought AF was in her way I've had a couple of wine and sodas but I get home and there's no sign of AF and no more brown blood. :o Major guilt going on :(

    I really wouldn't worry. Although you want to be good it's not the end of the world. Relax lire-chambre.gif

    :mad: I am still marking! My manager decided that the tests that a whole year group took today could be marked by tomorrow - with the test at 20 pages long and with 50 students even only spending 30 seconds a page makes that 500mins by reckoning which is just under 8.5 hours after work :mad:

    ok so when i posted last week and said 'not trying not preventing' it turns out that secretly meant 'already 3 weeks pregnant'. That was a little sooner than i expected!!!!

    The thing is its indicating 5 weeks but AF was 4 weeks ago. The level of whatchacallit hormone thingy (UHT is milk, HTC is a mobile phone... its something like that?!). Somebody told us that could mean twins? PLEASE TELL ME ITS ONLY ONE BABA!

    We're telling parents on Christmas day :D

    And we worked it out and the point we concieved was the first BD without protection in over a year. What are the chances?!

    Not sure! I am putting my foot down and going to bed now despite only having marked about 60% of it. Will get up early (5:30am!) and pick up then. I enjoy my job but sometimes wish I could have a life too!

    Congrats Bufger! :T
