    Feeling horribly emotional this week, its either the Clomid or just stress, I think the Clomid makes me stressed because I feel like I have to make every cycle count.. I don't feel pregnant, I keep doing a kajunga check, go on, be sore! Nope?

    BTW, I did have a laugh at code give the mooncup a WEE wash... Tempted to try one but don't see how you get them clean in public/at work.

    Hugs Code, I think women should be given an alloted number of PMT days a year to take as needed! :o I'm not enojoying my new way of getting AF which seems to be a few days of spotting and cramping before it actually arriving, I'm constantly on knicker watch! :o Woke up at about 4am feeling like I'd been kicked in the stomach, sure that I'd wake up to full AF, but nothing of note. :/

    Got my Mooncup in just in case (trying it out before I risk any major leakage issues!)... think it may take some getting used to! Already cut the stem right off as it was really irritating. Another issue is that I'm currently wearing shop bought false nails (I have horrendous nails -I'm a picker- and couldn't get an appointment for a proper set of acryllics until tonight :p) and although they're short, they're fairly sharp so I kept accidentally nipping myself! Owwwww!!! :eek:

    Sounds like you've got a lovely weekend planned ttc39! :)

    Have a wonderful anniversary weekend Becca! What are your plans? :)

    Very jealous that you've got the day off to go picnicing sophiasmum! Would love that today! What a shocker it was this morning to see the sun again after it being so grotty! :)

    The new CBFM does look very fancy! Is it big? I like how little the 'old' one is as it's not overly obvious what it is when you accidentally leave it lying around the bathroom! :)

    ETA: Big hugs for being emotional Picklekin. Can understand the stress cycle that must come with taking Clomid. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    We have a disabled loo on every floor at work, with a basin and the loo in the same room. It would be easy to do it in there.

    I've considered a mooncup but my AF is so light, I use so few products that it would probably take years to pay for itself. I only have one day with enough bleeding to use a tampon and even then it would have to be the lightest one available.

    Edit: Birdie, the new CBFM is only small, about the length of my index finger on each side. It's definitely not obvious what it is.

    Also meant to send hugs to Code and Pickle x

    Been having absolutely mad dreams all week. Last time I had this I convinced myself I was pregnant and was absolutely gutted when I wasn't, so this time I'm determined not to symptom spot.

    Morning ladies - hugs to everyone feeling down...

    I just did a test and it was BFN, I got excited for a minute as a line appeared in the test window, but then I realised that was still negative unless a "+" sign was there, and I've only got the "-" part....stupid sainsburys test.

    Well AF has disappeared totally, so guess I'm back to knicker watch waiting for her return :(

    Picklekin I feel exactly the same. Every cycle with help is just so intense - you feel like you HAVE to make it work. I had to sit down the other day and work out when DH could go on a business trip as we just can't afford to waste a cycle where I'm medicated and having trigger shot as well.

    Birdie - I love my mooncup! Been using it less than 24 hours and I'm used to it now. Definitely wet it before putting it in, it's much easier (thanks for the tip code!)

    Have a good Friday everyone x

    Love the look of the new cbfm - may splash out on one of them in the future. Did anyone give themselves a deadline of when they decided to buy one? Hopefully by the time I want one, the new ones will be in shops.

    Hugs code hope you survive the day at work if you made it in

    ttc39 - typical that has happened, hope you get round to BD tonight! Enjoy your weekend

    Becca - many thanks for always doing the lists, where are you going for your aniversary? Looks like it should be a nice weekend

    Angel - thanks in advance for doing the lists over the weekend

    Pickle - hugs

    Loulou - annoying sainsburys test - why dont they make them all the same to avoid any confusion when testing

    Hugs to anyone else in need of one. Hope people have some good plans for the weekend - looks like summer may have finally arrived!

    Littleme I had 3 rounds of clomid what do you want to know?

    Code I've just used mine for the first time ... Nearly gave up!! Sure it'll be worth it!

    Hi I was just wondering as to if there are any side effects and if anyone has actually conceived twins! And also does it actually work?

    It feels strange that I am being prescribed medication to make my body do what it should do normally. I guess we just have to be positive and not place too much hope and wait and see what happens,.

    I am just wishing this month away now. I think I am CD14 (must look back at the list!). I did an OPK on Wed and it looked dark and yesterdays lighter so maybe I am 1DPO today - who knows!

    Could using the disabled toilets be an option as they tend to have a sink in there..... just a thought..... :) ETA - never mind, still reading down, lol
