Kellie - Congrats to your friend, that's so lovely. Glad you got some snuggles, too. To answer your Q, half a dark line is still a + as long as it's the whole line top to bottom, not top or bottom half only. Mine are always darker on the left side of the line.

Iona - Thanks for the pg vibes, lol. Sory about DP's friends, but I totally understand needing distance. One of my friends at work was pg at the same time as me, and although I miss her terribly, I was secretly relieved when she moved away and left work. I don't know how I would've gotten through work every day watching her belly grow and mine... not. Just remember when it comes to friends, quality over quantity is better. How's your little man going?

Damprye - It's so good to see you happy again. Yay for the tww and well timed bd!

Matthews mum - Sorry about af arriving, but you're handling it all so well. Hooray for getting straight into another fet cycle! I hope this is the one!

Reet - Looks like my 'well behaved body vibes' have kicked in for you! I told you I was putting out the vibe for you! yaaaayyy... lol. Oh, and that's great you've got ewcm FINALLY. Enjoy it, girlie. You put that DH of yours to good use. Not that I thought you wouldn't be....... if only I could get DP that randy. LOL

Dory - Happy anniversary to Amelia. I hope today wasn't nearly as painful as you'd expected it to be. I know how tough 1st anniversaries can be. And I agree it is good for the soul to be lazy sometimes, but sometimes I over-indulge a bit!

Bons - Yay for knob burn, LOL..... Oh and you're almost my cycle buddy. I don't blame you for having a cry after seeing the lady a few doors down. I know how hard stuff like that is. And I know it's hard having DS asking when he's getting a baby sister all the time, but just imagine his little face when you can finally give him the good news. Hope your nose un-blocks soon too, lol. I can't think of many things more annoying.

Minnie - Your brother sounds like a real idiot. Sorry. I'm shocked he'd abuse you like this all because you want more babies, and your family are judging you for that. It's as if they feel like it's their decision, not yours. Luckily it's none of their business, but I know it doesn't make it any easier to deal with their dysfunctional ways. Hugs to you, hun. Good for you sending a letter to your dad. Sorry about your EDD anniversary today, sounds like an all-round crappy day for you. Let's hope the only way is up for you now And I completely agree with Dory. Hurtful words stay with you for a very long time. I don't know if you'll find this helpful or not, but I always used to say to DP when he got into one of his moods 'Turn TO me, not away.' Perhaps your family needs to hear something similar. Hope things get a LOT better for you really soon, hun.

AFM, Having a few weird things going on... but trying to ignore them as it's most probably not my month. (don't ask me why, I just feel that way) I'll put them in a convenient list form for you all, and particularly my stalker Iona.

-the same as last month
reasonably tender bbs
blood nose in the mornings? (weird)
crampiness, slight lower backpain
sciatica
vague blech feeling starting today

-NOT the same as last month
more tired than I can explain
cm all over the scale. From dry, to lotiony to watery and back to dry all on the same days
really wanted mushrooms (I normally hate them and dp has to hide them in my food)
and the big one.............. I SWEAR I saw some spotting today.

I keep questioning the spotting thing though. Sorry for the TMI, but it was like a few tiny brown specks. Later in the day (while checking obsessively) I saw a tiny speck of red, and since then pretty much nothing. Cm has had a yellowish tinge for the last couple of days, but today it seemed like the lightest shade of pink at times. It could just be my imagination, though. Who knows.

Anyway, that's enough rambling from me. I should probably go and make an attempt at cooking dinner, despite asking DP repeatedly if he would cook tonight. Oh noooo heaven forbid you have to cook one night of the week! HMPH! Men! lol...

I hope everyone is doing well, and this is the last time I'm going MIA... too hard to catch up! Sorry if I missed anything, or anyone. Thinking of you all.
