cep collie ninu thanks for your posts. I haven't been charting or anything. I tried checking my cm but I was never quite sure so not sure exactly when I ov'd (if i actually did!) but if I go by the MN ovulation predicter then I'm about 12 dpo at the moment and I got the pinkish discharge yesterday.

Oh god I hope these tests arrive tomorrow!!! Wink

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:58

When are you getting married Mumtum? I got married last July, also not the slimmest (size 12), and not the tallest (5ft5), and quite big busted. I found the corset type dresses the most flattering. Aren't you worried that you'll have a bump and won't fit into the dress?

MumTumWanted · 08/03/2011 21:56

lily id forever be the jealous twin im only 4ft11 you are positively tall compared to me Envy Grin but i agree about the designs they really are daft and they expect you to visualise what the dress would look like in the correct size ! some chance... but still i will try and work out how to find the link... oh and my DDs name is lily how strange is that !!!

lily06 · 08/03/2011 21:50

MumTum we sound like twins, I'm only 5ft4, about size 14/16 and a HH cup. I know exactly what you mean about wedding dresses - they're mostly designed for size 8 flat chested! You'll have to post some links to the ones you're looking at. Your link to FF worked this time, I've added you to my charts (hopefully).

Collie I've been attempting SMEG, or at least something close to it (ie just as often as possible from day 3 onwards). This could be fun if its another 50 day cycle Grin

Cep Thanks for the chart advice. Actually forgot to temp today, had to rush around this morning to make time to syringe three types of medicine into one of our chickens before work....

Ninu keeping fx for you

No pancakes here, will have them tomorrow I think since we forgot all about it. I like savory ones best, though always manage to curdle the mix, so that will be up to DH.

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:29

Lili what dpo ar you? Think implantation dip comes around day 9. Post a link to your ff page on here so I can stalk you if you like.

lily sorry you're struggling to. Looking at your ucl you are quite late on. Have you been doing smep anyway?

MumTumWanted · 08/03/2011 21:29

my a lot of chatting today ladies, i think this covers it

fx olis really hope it is but that many feints is defo a good sign .....
ninu we really want that update in the morning ....
collie your savory pancake sounded yummy we just stuck with golden syrup on some and lemon and sugar on others i feel very stuffed an doubt will not now fit in the wedding dress i chose today !
yrmotb congrats to you too !!!

lily weddng dress shopping for me who knew it would be so exhausting and we only had to visit 2 bridal shops ! im not the slimmest nor the tallest and im a G cup bra so trying to get a dress which flatters me and fits at the top and bottom is proving near on impossible though lots of laughs with my mum and lil sis trying on some of the them !

as for me.. still no af no sore boobs no headache no BFP but have ordered cb digis today from amazon so fx they turn up soon and i will try again ....

my link again with hopefully double brackets that will work (thank you for the instructions again !)

also cant remember who asked but i was thinking i was in cycle 1 but actually i may still be in the WTF but that seems a bit excessive being that i mc on 29th DEC !!!

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:27

Lili how many days post ovulation are you? Implantation is generally between 7-12 days post ovulation, so I imagine if you're due to test on Sunday then it could very well be implantation. I had a pinkish brownish discharge at 10 days PO last time...then got a BFP a few days later, so sounds very promising!

cep · 08/03/2011 21:25

lili does that make you about 9 dpo? don't see why it couldn't be implantation, they say between 6-10dpo (they being google ofcourse) fx for you.

collie my dh moaned cause we had dinner and not just pancakes. Grin

right i'm off to bed, after a 4am start this morning am soo tired.

meliesmummy · 08/03/2011 21:22

I hope your lines get darker olis and ninu (my dh is French too and he's most put out that we didn't gave crepes/pancakes bcos dd had some at nursery at lunchtime and we had leftovers to eat). Boo to the snow!

Lily it's a shame your weekend didn't go as planned.

Cep yay for symptoms!

Anyway, off to bed, Wink, good night all

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:20

cep I don't usually make savory I am a big kid and like to just suff my face with sweet ones and skip tea but dh likes to have dinner, so we compromise! First time I've had them like that, v tastey!

OP posts:
LILI80 · 08/03/2011 21:18

olis As they say a line is a line! fx for you! Smile

ninu That sounds promising! Are you going to test again tomorrow? fx for you too! Smile

ok now for a bit of me me - I'm due to test on Sunday but yesterday I got lots of cm some of which was a little bit pink but has now gone clear. Does this sound like AF arriving? Is it too late for implantation?

I ordered some tests from Amazon and I am now going out of my head waiting patiently for them to arrive as I know I'll test as soon as they arrive! Grin

I have also eaten loads of pancakes and have just finished cleaning up the aftermath in the kitchen!

missinvincible sorry for your loss but the ladies on here will really look after you.

Hope everyone else is ok.

cep · 08/03/2011 21:15

ninu just don't mistake the two. yeurgh

collie funnily enough i never think of savoury pancakes, i wonder why. Grin

oli That's not to bad then, you still have the money to go out and do stuff from home maybe.
I've been getting pains on the r/hand of my stomach right from the start. still getting them now.

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:12

Grin ninu that's what I do. Grin except today as office quiet so sneaked on!!

olismum23 · 08/03/2011 21:10

ninu mine are all slightest hints of lines too i tested early too so will just have to see for me im not 14dpo till Sunday hope it is for you :)

Cep It s was ok the boy was ok about it and it was pay when you got there so i still have money going to spend it on bubble bath lol :)

Also im in agony tonight so its just as well getting shooting pains in my lower right area.. so god knows!

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 21:10

Finished stuffing my face full of pancakes now. Mushroom spinach and cheese followed by strawberry and choc and good old fashioned lemon 'n' sugar! Yummm feel slightly now and can't think why.... Confused

Ninu I can't believe you have told us this and are now going to leave us hanging!! Well fx. A trip to barca sounds nice even if it is for work!

olis booo to the snow. At least we'll get a poas update from you tomorrow too.

OP posts:
Ninunina · 08/03/2011 21:07

Maybe I won't leave you in suspense cep....I've become so addicted to reading all your updates that I've been sneaking my phone to the loo whilst at work and having a quick read...so chances are I'll be able to update you in the morning Blush

cep · 08/03/2011 21:02

oli oh no, have to admit thought you were very brave to go camping in march. will you get your money back?

ninu i'm ok thanks no real symptoms just really tired, felt a bit sick today but think was more causei was so tired, ds woke us up at 4 this morning. That's not fair you can't tease us like that. i expect an fmu then report while you're eating breakfast. Smile fx for you.

Ninunina · 08/03/2011 20:55

Yummy!!! I've just finished scoffing some lovely pancakes made by my DH (oh sorry...I have to call them crepes.....he's French!).

Olis A line is a line! Congratulations...I'm sure you've taken a bag full of HPT with you. Looking forward to hearing more about it on Sunday.

MissInvincible so sorry that you're going through your second mc in such a short period of time.

cep hope everything is going well? Any real pregnancy symptoms yet?

Well, I got serious POAS envy this morning after seeing Olis post. I ran straight to the toilet and ripped open my box of Clear Blue (even though it's at least 1 day too early). I think my eyes must be playing tricks on me, because I think I can see the slightest hint of a line. I'm not jumping up with joy yet, because it really could be my imagination.

My ff is showing a possible implantation dip yesterday (it went up again today)...so I'm hoping I haven't gone totally bonkers, and I haven't dreamt up all these signs.

I will try again tomorrow with FMU- but I'm not sure I'll be able to update you all before Friday since I'm off to Barcelona for work tomorrow.

olismum23 · 08/03/2011 20:52

Hi ladies went all the way up to where i was camping and they have had snow warnings!!! Oh well hope again back to obsess of extremely faint lines if its not strong by Monday i would not think i am/going to stay/pregnant for long trying not to worry about it one thing i did learn from my m/c is there is nothing i can do to control this body of mine.
Sorry about your troubles Collie I would get it checked out my Aunt had her under-active thyroid detected 2 years ago after 13yrs of trying for DC#2 now she is 15weeks pregnant and she has not been trying, trying for years IYNWIM.

cep · 08/03/2011 20:09

i cheated and bought a mix today, cause i'm no good at making them either.

brooke89 · 08/03/2011 20:06

well ive been looking forward to pancakes all day, but after going through a bag of flour amd several eggs ive officially given up :( I am the worst pancake maker in the world!

cep · 08/03/2011 19:53

yrmotb i can't remember if i said congratulations or not, so just incase yay congratulations. Do you know what kind of wedding you want (church, abroad etc)

collie i had a couple with choc spread on. yummy.

lily so sorry your weekend wasn't what you hoped. just had a quick check of your chart, such a shame your temp today wasn't accurate (the circle thing) your temp jumped up a bit yesterday. could be the startof the temp raise.

Collie2 · 08/03/2011 19:44

Who's having pancakes??!!! I'm having savory, followed by lots of sweet!! Grin Grin

Ha, collie I lurk here and there and everywhere Grin Thank you Smile

lily06 · 08/03/2011 19:34

Evening all,

Wow there's a lot to catch up on.

Olis that is fab news, keeping everying crossed for you. Have you done a digital yet?

Chloe great news about being able to continue on Clomid, fx you won't need any more though Smile

Collie sorry you're having trouble identifying ov, same here. Sadly it doesn't seem unusual to have no support from gp / hosp / epu after mc.

Mouse So sorry you had to go through everything again, hope you are doing ok.

Cep how's things? Hope you are having an uneventful time Smile

MumTum sorry you're feeling down. Wedding dress shopping sounds like fun though - is it for your wedding or your sister?

Welcome invincible, sorry you find yourself here, but hope we can help to give you the support you need. My MC was also 'unknown location' and probably ectopic. My first pregnany was ecoptic. Was it your second unknown location mc? Waiting for the levels to drop just seems to take for ever, doesn't it.

Blackkat Hope you are ok and that we see you back on here soon.

I had a bit of a crap weekend, was really looking forward to our night about but it was a grotty hotel, with SINGLE beds....not cheap either Angry Feeling a bit down this week. Not sure if its just hormones. Still no crosshairs on FF and on day 22 now, so no idea if not going to ovulate or whether I have and the temps just aren't reliable enough. CM is slippery but not what I'd call egg white and I've got ovary pain. No idea how much of that is down to clomid though. Sorry, moan over Grin
