Hop, skip and a jump. I've arrived! I've just realised that I forgot my age on the stats list; I'm 30, but I don't want to start clogging up the top of the thread just doing one little update!

Don't like being on cycle 20; if I don't get a BFP by the end of 2013 by number of cycles trying will be bigger than my age. Confused and Sad

The shuttle was great, can't believe I managed not to use it last time. Sausage man really was quite accommodating :p

Does the last thread win the prize for the quickest filling up thread ever?

Hmm. Just had some biltong then realised I probably shouldn'[t if I'm pg. Oops. Not sure I want to stop eating it though.

I've never seen a faster thread pib but I'm not sure what it was like in the olden days before I was a berry!

Barking, is it weird to say even I'm not sure any more?! I started using fertility friend in November 2011 and that's what I base my 20 cycles on. However, if I'm honest with myself, DH and I had binned off contraception well before that. I don't want to consider the possibility that I might be a lot closer to cycle 30 than cycle 20 though.

Hi everyone welcome alex. Thought I'd better hop on & off the sausage shuttle quickly before DP gets home which is any minute now. I don't want to have to explain yet again that I am not having an affair by phone. Two BFPs in a week on the last thread so lets hope the berry luck & law of sod continues!

Boodle your bfp date isn't on the stats either... Tut tut.
I, disgustingly, am still in Pj bottoms and a jumper and have not left the sofa since I got up Shock however DH has now gone to the pub so I have am thinking about a bath and going to join him for an exciting lime and soda!

Boodle was just wondering how far ahead of me you were as I'm at the end of cycle 15 but some of them have been 37 days long so I get fewer cycles in the same time frame!!
I have been so light since coming off the pill that I honestly can't tell the difference between spotting and AF. I just count the first sign of red stuff as CD1 as I really don't have a clue. I could probably cope without tampons for the whole duration as I'm on the minis, and most days that's too much! I might have one heavier day, but even that I would still classify as light, and there's no pattern to where the heavier day falls.

Merk make sure you don't have your bath too hot. No higher than normal body temperature Grin

I had a ridiculously hot bath the other day so it can't be that bad!

Hi all. Marking place on shiny new thread.

Congrats on line tal, sounds like a good idea to get yourself to a specialist ASAP?

Anyone else watching the rugby?

Hey berries, sorry I've been MIA, hope you all missed me!

I am in one heck of grumpy mood, irrationally emotional and wanna cry, and what is the very important reason for this I hear you cry, a dress, I don't have a nice dress to wear to a posh do tonight because eBay is crap and the one I ordered is too big and I don't like any of the others I have! Nearly cried in front of my folks and threw a strop saying I don't wanna go! If I don't shake this mood before I go out (in a dress I hate) I will have a miserable night and DH will hate me for being a whingebag!

I haven't eaten chocolate all month so now I may just go and gorge!

Eat chocolate bunny. If you ever need it, it sounds like it's now.

bunny there is nothing worse overlook the slight exaggeration than not having the right thing to wear, I regularly have strips about it. It doesn't solve your dilemma I'm afraid, could you borrow something?

Having a strip has made me smile, which I needed.

Sorry for being a moaning old cow, I'm just usually so organised, I guess my mind has been on other things (yes I am blaming the berries lol)

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 17:37

I suggest taking Merkin's advice and have a strip. Then you'll only be wearing the not so perfect dress for a short amount of time anyway.

Happy to help Grin.
