Sorry the witch got you both CCJ and Faith. Consistency in your cycles are a good thing though (a day difference is still consistent CCJ), at least it should be easier for you to pinpoint ovulation! And with short(ish) cycles like yours I think it means you very likely ovulating also, which is good news! The waiting is frustrating, I found it took a couple of months for me to change my mindset and then it has been easier. It's just that in the first couple of months you are so full of optimism and excitement, that it feels harsher when AF arrives.

My plans to be productive in decluttering today have been squashed as it has rained non stop from 9am, so no car booting for me! Looks like I will have to cross my fingers for good weather in September so I can do another one then! I was considering going tomorrow as it is bank holiday, but with the constant rain today I'm wondering if the fields will be water logged, plus the one tomorrow is a 40 min drive away! However the car boot pile is ENORMOUS! hmmm.... might have to ponder that one a little more once I see the weather forecast for tomorrow!

Try eBay with pick up only or gumtree too if it’s bigger items/ things you can clump together

Thanks for the suggestion dawyldthing. I regular use facebook / ebay for slightly higher priced items but alot of what I have is bits and bobs, clothes etc. It's still that I don't think it suitable for facebook/ebay. I am leaning towards going to one tomorrow!

The OH is working all weekend & tomorrow, so I've just had a very lazy day/weekend. Rubbish weather means I can't even go out for the day with the dog.

Can I be moved to the 2ww please? Fertile week is over, we managed to get a bit of bding in, but with the OH doing 12 hours shifts he's knackered by the time he gets home.

Thanks PKK I didn't know that meant I'm likely ovulating! I actually wondered if I was or not so that's good to know!
Aww car boot would not be fun in that weather!! I was also going to suggest eBay!
So looking forward to an extra day off tomorrow and a short week for me as I'm going away next weekend (just staying with a friend but it's still a change of scenery!)

Skimper it only takes 1 BD to get a BFP so fingers crossed for you!

CCJ the weather is predicted as dry with cloudy tomorrow morning, and the sun coming out in the afternoon here so I've bitten the bullet and packed the car! I guess that means I'm going now! haha I have done quite abit of reading of websites, forums etc over the months especially when I was having my two long cycles. From what I can remember if you have irregular or very long cycles it is more likely that you are not ovulating. It could be you are and it is just not at a regular interval, but it could also be that you aren't and then at a certain point your body just sheds your lining anyway (for the very long cycles that is!). A 'typical' cycle is 28 days so you should pretty much spot on! A few days difference in cycles is still seen as regular and consistent.

I got another flashing smiley this morning. It will be interesting to see if I get a static this cycle before my blood test on Thursday (I didn't last cycle).

Brilliant, ready to get going first thing PKK.
Very interesting thank you for that! I've everything crossed for you!!

It’s a pretty boring bank holiday for me, we both worked most of the weekend and I’m catching up on some housework today.

My mum now knows we are TTC. We bumped into one of her colleagues over the weekend who asked the usual question about whether we want kids. I laughed it off but she could tell I didn’t mean it. She was really good about it and didn’t ask any questions but I probably will talk to her about now.

Well sadly light rain, but rain nonetheless hit the carboot around 9.30 and everyone started packing away. I left around 10.30am and about 80% had gone by then. I still made just over £70 though and obviously still have stuff to do another one with! Just need to dry it all off and repack it properly now!

One last week off work for me so I am hoping for a productive one!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their bank holidays weekend
