[LuckyD]

Hmm Lucky, seems like you've been waiting quite a while for AF! Are you late yet or is this the normal amount of time between your pre-AF symptom and actual AF?

Normal? Who knows! I definitely do get sore BBs from anywhere between 2-6 days before AF...but then sometimes I don't...this is why I choose to ignore my boobs, they like to change it up every month just for fun. And it seems also that my LP is between 11-13 days...it is 13dpo for me today I think - I am predicting the arrival of AF for tomorrow.

Tanikit - I'm with you, I hate the waiting!

At my old house, I had a hot tub. I loved it. But I guess it's good we moved and had to leave it behind, because I'd miss being able to use it if it was just sitting there on my deck.

Ooooh hot tubs, they are the best aren't they! We are thinking about building one for our land down the track sometime....you can make cool ones that use a fire underneath, I love being able to sit outside and look at the stars in a nice hot tub.

Hello ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. DH and I were able to go on a wonderful bike ride this morning, then out to breakfast. Now we are getting the house ready for dinner guests tonight. A few of our good friends are coming over for dinner and games.

I love games nights!! How fun. What games are you playing?

Lucky - Hope AF stays away have a good weekend, OH and I have no plans at the moment either, I love it, I am always complaining about all the jobs we have to do at the weekend, mostly my doing.

Totally, and then suddenly your weekend is gone and you have spent the whole time running around! I definitely have cleaning to do this weekend..but am going to ignore it for another few hours at least.

It's a lovely day here, even though it's winter there have still been some really nice mild sunshiney days - loving it. I think later we are going to head around to do some work on our land - we have been getting rid of some areas of rogue thistle and it's hard work. Especially as we don't want to use chemicals, so we are going to try a long term plan of intensive mowing. Probably wont' work and we will resort to the horrible chemicals after all, but hey, worth a try. My brother and my OH just bought a ride-on mower off Trade Me (NZ version of Ebay) and we pick it up on Monday! This is the kind of stuff that gets exciting all of sudden when you own some land.....

I'm glad you are having good weather LuckyD! Way to tough it out with that thistle. We do the same thing around these parts - pull weeds rather than douse the lawn with weed killer. It is hard work but I'm happy to do it rather than use chemical means. Hope that mower works well for you.

I've been in outdoor hot tubs that are warmed from real fires / charcoal underneath. Those are the best! We have some natural hot springs in Arizona and New Mexico - I'm anxious to check those out as well.

Oooh, we are online at the same time - love it when that happens!

Yep, going to try and resist those nasty chemicals as much as we can!

Natural hot springs are amazing, aren't they. We have quite a few in some areas of NZ, as I am sure you know! There is this awesome place in Taupo, where a natural hot spring meets a river - it's so nice as you can find the temperature that suits you best.

 

[Tanikit]

Its been ages since I went to a natural hot spring - those were great. Would love a hot tub too, but really it is too cold here to go out in the evening right now.

We have no weeds anymore - the frost hit us a few days back and everything is dead - even DD noticed the neighbours mielies dying overnight.

I'm 11dpo today and have a feeling AF will be here on Tuesday since I have recently been in a super bad mood - poor DH. We are going to my brother-in-laws for my mother-in-laws birthday today and then tomorrow is Father's Day which we will spend with just our family so hopefully I can keep my irritation to a minimum.

 

[Moondance]

Just doing a quick pop in.... Saying hi to everyone and hoping everyone is doing well and stuff!! I spent such a long period of time not on site while AF was happening and stuff that I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of things with keeping up and coming back regularly....
Am just really out of it.

My horse comes home sometime over the next few weeks. THese two darling gay gentlemen who live about 5 minutes away from my house, have property and posted an ad at the stock feed for agistment. I phoned them, its only $20 a week. CLose enough to home for daily access. I'm thrilled. Now just need to plan the trip of hauling him home!

 

[Annamumof2]

well girls i have now got toncelitus yay for me, i always seem to get something wrong around the times i'm ovulating grrrr

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Woa does that river / hot spring spot sound incredible LuckyD!

Moon - so glad to hear you've found a good situation for your horse, that sounds perfect! No worries about not keeping up to date : )

Sorry you aren't feeling well Anna - hope it passes quickly!

 

[Moondance]

Oooh.... tummy cramping and feeling gassy.... oh I feel weird...

 

[Tanikit]

Anna sorry you are going through so much - hope the tonsillitis and chicken pox clear up soon and don't get replaced with anything else.

Moon maybe you have ovulated? Glad you have sorted things out for your horse.

I have had a terrible day - been in tears a lot today. Didn't go to my Mom-in-laws birthday, just stayed all day by myself cause I really can't cope with family right now (or anyone for that matter) - this is about the fourth month in a row that we have had to see his family right when I have PMS (no this is definitely PMDD - I feel like crap) It doesn't matter how many times I ask him to decrease the pressure around this time of the month he gets all horrible, arranges extra stuff and is just a pig - of course that is probably just the PMDD talking cause the rest of the month I rather like him. ******** isn't there any way to sort this out so I can feel better about myself - AF isn't even here yet so its still a few days of this hell before it eases somewhat.

 

[Nixilix]

So sorry your feeling crappy tan xxxx

 

[CelticNiamh]

Tanikit sorry your feeling so crappy sending you hugs till you feel better.

Anna hope you and Skye feel better soon I hate that getting sick aroung OV grrrr


LuckyD hope AF come right on time no torturing you or better yet and of course I want to see a BFP

How is every one else doing

Hi ladies, I've been kind of lurking around lately...some serious mood swings, but attempting to get back into TTHF mode so checking in here.

Tanikit, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so down...I get like that, too, around AF. I have some depression issues, too, and now take a low dose of Prozac which is supposed to help with the PMDD. I still feel terrible at AF, but it seems to keep the edge off, slightly. I think the best thing that helps is exercise, but kind of hard just to get it started. Was REALLY down this morning and just did an exercise video and am feeling a bit better.

Beautiful day here today...I'm planning to take a shower then cook on the grill w/ DH and have a nice glass of wine. What are you all doing this weekend?

 

[LuckyD]

Hey ladies,

sorry things are pretty rough for you at the moment Tanikit sending you many hugs

In fact, sending you all hugs sounds like we all need them today.


I woke to stomach cramps and spotting, so AF will be here today. I knew it would happen, but for some reason that hasn't helped me not feel sad about it. I got my rant out in my journal so won't go into it all again!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

We need more of these!

 

[Moondance]

Holy crickets.... someone have a look at my chart and check out my most awesome temp drop I had from yesterday to today!!! It's crazy!

 

[Tanikit]

Moondance that looks like you might ovulate in a day or so's time - have you tried an opk?

Lucky sorry you started spotting. You need a hug too ((((((((Lucky))))))))))

Father's Day today and I go DD to help me make breakfast for DH and give him a present. She said Happy Father's Day so sweetly.

Still feeling yuck and very down - if I get very angry or irritable then I always end up feeling depressed the next day. Hopefully I will just be down today. I have lower backache, bloated with some cramps and feeling sick so am wondering if AF might be a bit early this month.

MyTurnYet sorry you were also feeling down - should probably start exercising more - I know just walking to and from work also helps me feel better.

 

[Moondance]

OPK's don't really work so well for me... I have too much trouble distinguishing my lines because they're always half and half. I don't even bother buying them anymore... and where I live, digital OPK's are not available anywhere save buying online and I'm just not interested in spending THAT much money!

 

[honeybee28]

awww lucky im sorry - really hope she doesnt turn up.

tanikit - you poor thing, i really hate bad mood swings they are awful. is your dh understanding? have you been to your doc about them?

so friday night i went out with my friends while the game was on then we met up with dh and our friends after - got way too drunk. still managed to bd when we got home but i dont remember it at all, oooops, isnt that bad!!
other than that, went to the tennis and had a picnic with my MIL yesterday, then out for dinner with friends in the eve. today me and my sister did a bbq for our dad.

everyone else ok?!xxx

 

[parkgirl]

Oh wow, big for everyone.

LuckyD-- Extra hugs for you.


Sounds like it's been a hard weekend for a lot of you. I'm still a few days pre af, so who knows. Trying not to think about it.

 

[MyTurnYet]

Aw, Lucky

I agree, big hugs all around!!!

Had a nice day today. Went to my sister's for a bbq w/ my parents, and got to play with my niece and nephew a lot and hold my baby niece. She'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow. She's such a good little baby. I'm told she might have my eyes, which I think is the sweetest thing.

Speaking of nieces, I hope you all don't mind if I ask for a very big favor. My niece, Ariana, is in a Parents magazine photo shoot contest, and she is #99 at the moment (out of 60,000). Today is the last day to vote. If you don't mind voting, I'd appreciate it so much. You just have to click the link, type whatever the phrase is and hit submit. Thanks so much!!
