literally a bucket, lol? Eugh...

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 21:43

Yeah I will use them next month too if not pg this month. But I want to finish my cheap ones first.

woody17 · 08/10/2012 21:35

Yes I really like them - I've started using the CB digital ones. You can use FMU which I find more convenient. And there's no difficulty trying to interpret lines, you just look for the smiley!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 21:32

I'm using cheap opk too. Still negative today at cd15 but literally a bucket load of cm. mmmmm

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 21:32

Hannah don't get the monitor, go for the Cb OpKs first! I got both and wasted my money with the monitor as I brought it too quickly.

HannahJayne · 08/10/2012 21:29

Woody do you find them easy to use? Not sure about the fertility monitor as this is only cycle two so I might get some use out of it (positive thinking right there!)

woody17 · 08/10/2012 21:05

Hmm I'm still symptom spotting, even though I told myself that I wasn't going to do this! Getting really mild cramping in my lower abdomen and my boobs feel weird - it's almost like they're tingling. And I still feel really nauseous.

raspberries nutella and brazil nuts sounds amazing!

HannahJayne i've just starting using the OPKs properly this month but I really like them!

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 20:57

Raspberry that sounds delicious :-)

HannahJayne · 08/10/2012 19:47

Wow. Just spent the last 30 minutes (when I should have been making dinner for poor DH who is at rugby training) catching up. Have abandoned my guerrilla shagging tactics this month and am being quite upfront with DH about when we need to DtD - last month I was still trying to at least appear casual about it all. Seriously considering the OPKs - I like sciencey things.

Fx for everyone trying not to think about POAS

I don't need much encouragement...I think it would be nice to know to be able to tell Bri on the day of the wedding if it is a BFP.

We're "encouraging" friends!!! Grin

I've been craving brazil nuts, and then today I sat with a jar of nutella and ate brazil nuts dipped in nutella!! Probably not the best conception diet in the world, but it tasted amazing!!! Smile

DulcetMoans · 08/10/2012 18:16

We aren't terrible, we are helpful friends!

Thundercatsarego · 08/10/2012 18:05

Yep, that me, I just love running up and down stairs not

I can see the steely resolve for definitely not poas until after the wedding has somewhat faded though, are we all a terrible influence?!

You just run up and down stairs to test them!! ;-p

I know it wouldn't show now. The most suspicious thing for me is the nausea, to be honest. Having to sprint to the loo because you think you may be sick isn't usually caused by a cold!

But have to be cautious.

Thundercatsarego · 08/10/2012 17:53

block try prodding yours too

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 17:51

You have to wait 2 days it won't show up now. Exciting week ahead on all accounts :-)

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 17:37

No, you're not...how do I wait 2 days?!

Quite a bit of right sided pain, combined with generalised tummy aching.

Falling apart!!

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 17:23

Ooooo I burped lots :-) We're no help at all Grin

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 17:04

I have been surreptitiously squeezing them with my inner arms at my desk!

Still a bit painful, but less so. Burping loads though!

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 08/10/2012 16:58

I have nothing to add - but did have a giggle at Thunder -Stop encouraging her!

My boobs don't hurt as much now :-(

woody17 · 08/10/2012 14:23

pear I think I had the nausea the first time.

Sounds like a good deal dulcet

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 14:07

Dulcet very sensible buy Wink

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 14:07
