    Hello ladies.

    Welcome back sunbeam!

    Good luck with your exam smallfry. I am sitting here trying to prepare for mine.

    AFM - can I have a silly moan? I am so cold, and I am soooooo hanging out for a coffee!!!!!!! I want to put the percolator on. I even opened the fridge to smell the fresh coffee beans. I haven't had a coffee for a few weeks now, so its not as if I am in withdrawl, I just like coffee, and am sick of herbal teas. I usually like herbal teas, and would normally have one in the evening, but coffee is for day time and part of studying, and I am missing it.

    Re the temping, my temp was back up today, but FF still hasn't told me I've ov'd. I had a shocking nights sleep, and couln't work out if I should temp when I get up to the loo at midnight, at 4.00 when DH got up, or at 7.00 when I was planning to get up. I decided to leave it till 7.00, becasue I was just too busting at midnight, and too tired and cold at 4.00(from not sleeping), but then the phone rang at 6.45, so I had to get out of bed to get it, so don't think my temp was too crash hot today! I think the monitor is fairly accurate, so I'm glad I had that to go by.

    I just want a coffee, a nice hot big tall freshly ground home perc'd one..........

    Hi Milly, tmo you'll get crosshairs!!

    I am wondering if any of you know anything about lunar cycles? I want to know if it is BS or not.

    I have been having ovulation like pains since 7dpo last cycle...and then my af was fairly quick and my cramps were almost non existant unlike normally, and anyway, I have still got ovary pains..mainly on left side. I dont know what they're from because its way to early for me to be ovulating then i saw something about lunar cycles and having more than one fertile window in the cycle...I also am skeptical and think its another way to make money off women who are desperate to be pregnant.

    thoughts??

    milly - have you considered decaf? Or perhaps a blend of decaf and normal coffee? I figure since minimal amounts are ok, I regularly drink decaf (water decaffienated) and when, every couple days, I'm desperate for a coffee to wake up, I blend a tiny bit of real coffee in when I'm making it (I use an italian coffee maker with the most awesome blend... drooool!) I seriously miss it though.

    coco - have heard of lunar cycle but not sure that I put much cred in it and of course, it always costs to learn more about it! Maybe see if you can track down a book from your local library if you can be bothered. What I've found about it on the internet seems a little fairytale. Hey, I thought you weren't temping this month? lol it's irresistable isn't it? I'm still temping...!

    welcome back sunbeam I've missed you Glad you had such a great time on the weekend!

    sunny - maybe baby?? Are you often late? Man I hope those bfn's were innacurate!

    ferrals ferrals can't wait!!! I hope it's a bfp even though that will bring along it's fair share of stresses, there's still a big chance that it will be the best thing on earth!

    Hello to everyone else I intend to hover til every one of you has that delectable so that I can celebrate it with you!!!

    Hahaha smallfry. Im not going to lie yeah Im temping but the only reason Im doing it is because the gynae/FS will want to see the charts so Id rather do it than not...I have like 50 days of my account still on FF so may as well use it I am sick of it all though. I just want to not try at the moment I love that you come in here still, I love your posts

    aww thanks coco This group is just too close to my heart to leave now. And your reasoning behind temping still is perfect.

    milly - when's your exam? Saturday was it? Seems there are so many people studying in here I can't keep track of it all! Mine this morning was abysmal. The room was so hot that I couldn't think and it was making me seriously nauseous and I couldn't think straight. I should email the markers and let them know but figure it doesn't really matter, I only have to get 3/25 to pass the unit... assuming I can pass the unit but fail the exam that is!

    Hi ladies,

    coco - I have heard of the lunar cycles, and it does sound a bit "out there", But, having said that, a friend of mine is a horticulturist (works for Nat Parks) and swears by the lunar cycle for planting. I had done some reading on lunar and cycles and historically (way back when), a woman's cycle would be in line with the moon (I can't remember which phase was when though!!!), because there were no lights at night, and the light of the full moon - either brought on AF, or was the fertile time - light to shag by - can't remember which!! LOL. THere *may* be something in it, but then it may all just be a load of B/S. A friend of mine who was undergoing IVF was also having accupuncture and reiki and reflexology as well - all because there was that slim possiblity it just *might* make a difference, and made her feel like she was doing something. Having said all of that, I would probably give the fertility specialist a go first and hear what they have to say.

    Smallfry - I have decaf on my shopping list!! It's just that I'm cold and home alone and procrastinating that I want to moan about coffee . I am just having a cinamon and cardamon tea at the moment, and although nice, just doesn't cut it!
    Sorry your exam was not good, I think it would be worth emailing your tutor and letting them know, everything helps in my eyes!! My exam is Fri, and I am not looking forward to it, and I am still procrastinating my way through my last essay.

    Oh well, break was long enough, back to work, bye ladies!
