Oh thanks so much Vicky for your personal experience...I guess I better start today then. I love green tea so that won't be a problem...It's only a couple of days of taste torture with the grapefruit juice...Well here I go...
PS. Edited to add: It's actually not as bad as I had imagined...it's actually not bad at all...I'm actually really surprised...and this is no sugar added...small batch...totally fresh squeezed. I must really want a baby for this not to taste completely BLEH! YIPEE!!!!

Thanks Vgibs...Nato mentioned that earlier to me as well since I was downing 5 cups a day
...she said one is probably good to not deplete but to give EWCM benefits! 
so I've definitely stopped being such a green tea fiend.

everyoneI've had my blood test done so now waiting for the results hopefully will here sometime between 4 and 5pm. They were so lovely at the hospital it took us 45 mins to get there normally a 20/30min journey. My dad took me so steve could have a lie in as it was an early start Fran (the blood lady) was lovely so sweet to me. It took us even longer to get back and we got stuck going up a hill two men from other cars pushed us up the hill I helped a little untill we got moving again. I'm not going to see war of the world at the moment its looking a bit unsure as to whether steve and my dad will get there I hope so have had these tickets booked for over a year and its something steve has always wanted to see so I'll be gutted if he doesnt make it.
I did another test and the line was darker so hoping that is a good sign and we will get good news from the bloods.

I was just watching a news report about how much it has snowed over there. And there was video's of kids in wellies running around in the snow. All I could think was, "Holy crap their feet will freeze" but being Canadian we never go anywhere without mukluks in our cars in case of snow squalls LOL

morning everyone,
Vgibs - yes it is yeast! and as the adverts over here say you either love it or hate it. I must get through a jar a week, mostly straight from the jar. I eat raw brussel sprouts as well though so i'm clearly a freaky eater. ha
Megg - I 'o' all the time in my sleep when I'm preggo, think it's the progestrone supplements. First time was a bit of a shock, but a lovely side affect! these symptoms can't be all a coincidence for you eh?!
It is snowing really heavily here in south london, we must have about 3 inches, need to go out in a mo' too and m has the car. bugger.
Lucy - that is lovely of the nurse to take your bloods. I think the nurses and docs do a fantastic job for the most part i just think they are overstretched as Sugar says. How are you feeling, have the cramps eased a bit.... keeping everything crossed for you hun.
Sugar - doing a colonic yourself really isn't that bad, the tubes they have at the spa are probably half the size of your little finger and it's not done under pressure it's just a big bucket of coffee solution hanging from a hook, basic stuff, but bloody hell does it work. One of the guys there one year crapped out a marble that he had eaten as a kid when he was about 6, another girl showed us a pic of the plaque that came out (the bowel gets a lining of this hardened stuff over the years which is rope like) it was about 2 metres long! we were all very jealous ha. You basically sit around all day in this beautiful spa talking about each others poop. A bit like marmite again not to everyone's taste but I love it (not talking about poop mind, detoxing!)
Right i'm off to get my uggs on and try and get out. I may be some time as Scott of the antartic said (think it was that dude anyhow)

Bloody hell Mone, you're still not exactly selling it to me. Lol!
Have a nice day if you're off out. I'm heading to the nearest pub at teatime to discuss with Mal my job situation. Will start the diet and detox on the 3rd Jan!
There's no snow here for a change, which I'm pleased about. Had enough of it the other week!
Lucy, looking forward to hearing your blood results. I have my fingers crossed

PS Anyone who uses FF can they help please? When I started spotting into AF last week, it cut my cycle off really short. It classed spotting as AF by the looks of it, but proper flow didn't start till last Saturday (11th). Can I override this, as it looks like I'm on further on in my cycle than I actually am. I'm confused by it and it's messed my chart up

Lucy, I'm so glad you got your bloods done. I hope you get the results today. How are you feeling? Any cramps? Any more blood? I'm glad the line is getting darker. I think you made the right decision not going tonight. You need to take it easy.
Mone, I've heard wonders about colonics, but I'm not sure I could do it. I can't believe one guy found a marble! Good luck outside. Sounds cold.
Sugar, you probably should take out the heavy flow that they are saying as day 1. If you change that to spotting, it will probably change your chart. You can put in the notes section that it was heavier than spotting, in case you want to reference it later.
Liz, I love fresh squeezed grapefruit juice! I agree with Vicky, the sooner the better to start it. It hasn't helped me much, but I know it has helped other ladies. Last cycle I started taking Mucinex pills. So much better than gulping down cough syrup. They worked. It might have also been my ov meds, but whatever it was, I had more ewcm than ever in my life. It was glorious!
I'm going out dancing tonight. I haven't done that in ages. I can't wait. Dancing for me can often be a spiritual experience. I get so into it. It puts me in a zone like nothing else does. I've been needing this kind of therapy for a while. I really can't wait.

That sounds like quite the journey, Lucy. I'm happy you made it there and back, and also happy you had a nice NHS worker go out of their way for you. I hope the blood results are good news. The darker test certainly is!! Good luck.
Stay warm in the snow, girlies!
Hearty, I also love dancing and find it really theraputic. Enjoy!
I love grapefruit juice. Mmmmmm.
Sugar I think Hearty's advice should fix your chart.
Okay, I have a complaint about FRERs. I'm a huge hypocrite and tested today. I gave in because my temp was still up. Anyways, I think I fell victim to a FRER evap. The test line turned bright white and stayed that way for like 5 minutes before dissapearing. Now it's barely there at all. I'm so mad because when that second line came up right away I got really excited. I stared at for many minutes as it lowly faded. It was really torturous! I need a slap for testing early. In any case I think I'm out because it's 11 dpo and FRER would have picked up hcg.
