Tutmae - The cake turned out really well, and she even cleaned up as she went!! My obsessive compulsiveness must have rubbed off on her some where along the way. Can't say I'm dissapointed about that!

As for your AF/not AF... Sorry I can't help there. Could it be AF having trouble getting started? Or could it be an implantation bleed, or an O bleed? If it could be an implantation bleed, when do you think you O?

And don't worry about TMI - is there such a thing on here??!!

Easha - Where's your coverline? I think you'll get it tomorrow or the next day. If that's the case, I think you Oed on CD19 and so you're in good for a BFP this month.

KL - Would you like me to try and post you some birthday cake??? I'll take a photo before it leaves and you take a photo when it arrives, and we'll see how it's changed along the way!! It's chocolate though, and I'm not eating chocolate anything cause it contains caffine. So I think that's why she made it chocolate, so mum wouldn't eat it all on her!!!

That's so awesome that you're feeling a little funny in your tummy!! I really hope you're going to get a BFP. I think we will all get them this month, and then we can all go and hijack the PALMC (is that it) thread.

Smilanatu - I can't beleive you STILL haven't tested!! You are strong. I know what you mean though about not wanting a BFN. I was like that last time. If it's BFN you feel *****ty, so the longer you wait to find out, the longer you can stay hopeful.

How long have you been sick for? Most 'bugs' only last 24 or just over 24 hours. Keep spewin' and you're good to go!!!

But if you're not charting, we can't stalk your cycle!!

Jen/mum - Thanks so much! That's what I wanted to hear. Now that wasn't too hard was it? And who did it hurt? NO ONE!!

I have 5 green blocks leading up to and one following the day of O. Perhaps they're the days that we are fertile?? Just a guess.

I just had a look an your chart after hearing about your twinges. Perhaps you are on the way down, ready for a temp rise in the next day or two. Get that helmet on!!

My DH hasn't woken me up in the night for a for years!!

Angel - Are you able to wake up, take your temp and then go back to sleep on your daysoff? Or, you could just take it on the days that you work, at the same time, and leave the other days blank. Or you can take it every day when ever you wake up and just chagne the time on FF when you enter it. Also, you could one day, on your day off, take it at the early time, write it down, then go back to sleep, and take it an hour later, go back to sleep, etc, etc, until you get up. If you do this for a couple of days, it should give you a rough idea of how much you need to modify it. The later in the day you take it, the higher it will be. So you could figure out, that you increase by 0.1 every half hour, for example.

Hope this helps. GL. And make sure you put it on FF so we can stalk your cycle!

In regards to the BDing, I like to BD every second day (once a day if you can handle it) up to and the day of O (even do the day after, just to be sure). They say that if you do it too much, ie several times in a day, the number of sperm decreases with each ejectulation, so you don't want to wear yourselves out for nothing. I also think that just before you go to sleep is the best time to BD. This way you are horizontal for the next 7 (or in my case 9-10) hours and the little guys don't have to swim against gravity.

Looks like your wish of rain came true. It is such a good doona day. ENJOY!

Tina - Well let's just get you UTD, and then you'll be fine. And when I mean "let's", I really mean your DH, not us. But we're here cheering for you When are you going to test? You're 10DPO aren't you? Waiting. .. waiting ... waiting ...

Vanaithi - Looks like your temp is on it's way up! Where's you BDing data. How are we supposed to convince you that you're going to get a BFP if we don't know when you ?

Molly - Looks like your 5DPO. How you feeling?

AFM - Thanks to Angel Babies, it's raining in Brisbane, and from sitting here at the computer, my fingers are so cold they are about to snap off.

DD is having her sleep over birthday party today. 3 girls due to arrive in 1.5 hrs. Place is ready to be demolished. Just jokes. The girls that she has invited are really good (no wonder, they're from my class at school!!!) So I'm not too concerned.

Today I am 6DPO - bring on the weekend!!!! I'll be sooooo peeved if I'm not UTD, cause I'm wishing my holidays away. It better not be for nothing!

No sore BB's this morning. Feeling quite normal actually. But technically speaking, I really should have been feeling quite normal anyway, cause I won't implant until prolly day 9 anyway (according to last cycle's implant).

Have a great day everyone.
