    Sa-ra-ra-ra, yay for ov!:j When are you testing?

    Hmm, the 20th? That'll be CD30 and 14DPO...
    Feel like a stroppy teenager again :(. Next person to look at me the wrong way will get their testicles removed & strung up like Christmas decorations.

    Ps- what does everyone take for cramps these days?

    Oh dear, I quite enjoy the bad behaviour that comes with that feeling though - it's fun to indulge the mood sometimes.

    I take OTC co-codamol, which is lots of fun (and spaces me out a bit). When I was a teenager, I used to be prescribed it by my GP as the usual things didn't work.

    I’m also in a right mood today, and can’t seem to focus on anything. I think it’s mainly in my head – I can’t help thinking should I test.. no I won’t it only CD25.. but its BD15.. but maybe it isn’t really.. but I’m not feeling PMT’y.. but I am a bit and maybe I’m kidding myself... and should I test... no I won’t its only CD25... etc and so the loop continues in my head.

    Then people ask me work questions and I am annoyed, and unprepared, so get stressed! And then return the loop above.

    Sigh... this stuff makes you crazy.


    p.s. Secrets - I used Nurofen with Lisene last month. Happy town!
  • Congratulations Bufger.

    I think I need to borrow your wagging finger icon QQ. My boyfriend is doing so much ss'ing it's unreal.

    I have had to call in sick today as for the last couple of days I haven't felt right, keep going dizzy and feeling sick. I was shattered last night but when I got to bed I couldn't sleep and then kept waking up so he has decided it is because his super sperm has done the job :rotfl:. I think I have just got a virus.

    Realistically when should I be testing I think I ov'd about 9 or 10 days ago. I keep telling him it is too early but he is nagging me to death.

    I had that on my first cycle, never bought a hpt before, so it took a lot of courage to pick one up at 13DPO, did the test when I got home in the afternoon, not even a FMU:rotfl:

    I would say about 14DPO is good, that gives enough time for any beanie to get settled in and start producing HcG.

    Kittycat -ideally in 4-6 days ;)

    I'm waiting for the ambos to bring mil home so I can let her in cos I've got her keys :p I don't want to go over there early though cos she's no internet and it's boring! :p just had a shower and need to dry my hair...i should stop dragging my feet really!

    oh and secrets, I used to take mefanmenic acid (some kind of word that looks like that but the spelling's probably wrong! :p) originally it was prescribed for me, but these days you can get it over the counter I think. (now I take prescription painkillers for my other conditions that I have leftover/for when af's here)

    Hi everyone! I miss you all and have been thread stalking cause I'm too scared to go on the 12 weeks thread!

    Congrats to Gemma and Bufger :j:j brilliant news for you both.

    I was thinking about you all the other day as I found out an interesting fact. Green tea can interfere with the absorption of folic acid - I know I was drinking it while ttc as I heard it helps ewcm. Just something to think about if anyone is downing it by the pint!

    Saw some sparkly reindeer while out shopping the other day and had a big grin to myself, thinking what a marvellous addition they would make to the AF room.

    I brought some ginger wine (not really wine of course) to warm you all up during the snow and biting winds we've been having.

    Hugs and baby dust to you all :)
