firstmy cm has been notoriously difficult to track as I don't know what is remenanants/effects of dtd and what is actual cm, so your not on your own!
zazz ewcm and positive okp....It is time... Grin
choc have you done any more piss sticks? I was reading an article that said some women don't get a positive pg test till they are as far 6 weeks, fx for your blood results.
co5mo aww, how old is your god son?
indi glad af has buggered off!

It's my dsis birthday this week and my dps are away so we are having her birthday meal this evening! Going for a curry as it's an amazing resteraunt and can safely say it's a gluten free safe zone! I may have a glass of wine. Especially as I'm feeling nothing, like literally no symptoms of anything yet today, can only assume af will show up as a surprise party guest!

I've had 5 (FIVE!) pregnancy announcements this week total! All word of mouth as I don't use Facebook etc, but crikey! Somebody said "ooh there's something in the water!" Dsis quipped "well, unless it's spunk I'm sure we're all fine!" Grin her best mate is pregnant, she was quite anti-baby until this week, now she's got over the shock she doesn't like change she's told me I'm allowed to have a baby now haha. Nobody knows we're trying. But I need her to go out so I can wrap her presents up!

Worst part is although the test is tomorrow I won't have the results for up to a week! Eurgghhhhhh

drinkyourmilk · 10/01/2016 11:18

choc it sounds so much like you are pregnant. Hopefully blood tests will confirm.

LillianFullStop · 10/01/2016 11:16

choc hopefully you'll have some good news tomorrow!

So Ovia is kindly informing me... 15 days until fertile window - feels like ages!!

Chocaholic88 · 10/01/2016 11:09

Morning ladies... I woke up feeling good... sat up and the full frontal feeling of car sickness hit me. Hasn't passed. Not cool.

Why can't I just find out if I am upduffed or not! I'll be much happier in my suffering 😂😂

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 10/01/2016 10:43

Yep first that's been me this week, which is why I've been confused about cm.
Apparently kegels make you 'flush' out the cm making it easier to spot? According to my book anyway

firstgo1984 · 10/01/2016 10:39

Gross question.... anyone else find it difficult to judge CM for a good amount of time after DTD?

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 10/01/2016 10:37

Spoke too soon. Just got a positive on opk and found some ewcm Grin
DH is afraid....Grin

Co5mo · 10/01/2016 10:12

Morning Indi . Soft cheese will be off the menu but don't miss that stilton isn't (my friend deprived herself for her last pregnancy but looks like stilton this time round).

I'm off to see my soon to be God Son later. I was asked just before Christmas and still smiling like a Cheshire cat about it. Have you got anything planned?

IndiX · 10/01/2016 09:08

Morning everyone!
Sorry about the the new AF's, hope you enjoyed your Saturday night with a large glass of vino!
I'm pretty sure AF has left me now no more tears, bloating, shouting, cravings for chocolate 24/7 and DH is back from being away the last couple of days so can't wait to pounce on him Grin
Sad about the runny egg situation but will have to get the lion ones once I'm eventually upduffed. I'm a veggie so the steak thing doesn't bother me, soft cheese and wine however really upsets me can't talk or think about that right now, still a bit emotional from AF.
Anyone up to anything exciting today? Looking forward to the next testers this week, I have everything crossed for you X

drinkyourmilk · 10/01/2016 08:15

For the past few nights I have been getting up in the night to pee 4/5 times. I'm wrecked!

Runner05 · 10/01/2016 07:33

Ni I'm due around 27th August. Currently 7+1 Smile

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 10/01/2016 07:05

Only positive news is that I've been a bit crampy in the last day so hopeful a sign ovulation is near or it could be my big ovarian cyst playing up

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 10/01/2016 07:03

Haha I used a gu ramekin before I discovered pissy plastic cups Grin

Right so my BBT is a smidge lower today - 96.38 so no sign off ovulation yesterday at CD13, meaning im atleast 1 day later than last month

CM is watery but definitely not ewcm - I think I'm drying up Confused

I'll be peeing on opk's through the day hopefully I'll ovulate today/tomorrow

Ni4444 · 10/01/2016 02:10

Enjoying AF with a side of red wineWine Grin

Runner what's your due date again?

Love to all the ladies... AFers enjoy your contraband food and drink, FWers stay hydrated! Wink and TWWers deep breath and distract resist the call to pee!

drinkyourmilk · 10/01/2016 00:33

Ally it doesn't matter during the tww, it's just a little blastocyst that doesn't take anything from us yet.

AllyBali123 · 10/01/2016 00:20

Ok so wasn't gonna drink this wknd since its the tww but one bottle of rose is gone Confused oops!!!

drinkyourmilk · 10/01/2016 00:14

harriet many people swear by dtd every other day throughout their cycle.

evergreen Its awful isn't it. You want to be happy for the newly pregnant , but naturally feel sad and frustrated for yourself.

harrietm87 · 10/01/2016 00:06

Omg this is so funny - I use a gu ramekin too!!!

And I have def put them through the dishwasher (after hand washing first).

No news yet from me. Cd8 and still 10 days before fertile week. Do you think there's any point increasing dtd frequency before then? (Does it harm/improve the swimmers?)

KatOnATinRo0f · 09/01/2016 23:23

Evergreen it does seem to be that way doesn't it.... Some people cough and they're pregnant. We will all get our turn though... We must try not to get too frustrated

Re pissy-pot - I use one of the little pots you get at the docs for a urine sample. I wash it out and little bit of bleach, rinse well and dry with tissue. I can't think the bleach will affect anything. It's had 24h to dry properly. I have to say my accuracy has definitely improved!

Aah ill be back at the bottom of the list in a few days too guys!

runner lovely girl! I'm so sorry you're feeling so poorly! Much love and positive thoughts your way and to all our other lovely bfp'ers too! Fingers crossed it passes and you can enjoy your lovely little beans growing away happily, not sparing a thought for their poor mammys whose lives and bodies are already being turned upside down by them! Naughty little beans! Flowers

It is a lottery, and a game of complete chance, we are sooo lucky to have had so many positives! The waiting game is a sucky one, and it's a complete hormonal head fuck, buuuuuuut we shall all get our bfp's one day! And it's a new year, and a fresh start, we chose a good time to begin! We are fortunate to have so many bfp'ers leading the way and learning so that when we arrive on the grads thread, they'll be able to help us and show us newly upduffed the ropes!

And y'all know my tiny tupperware is an excellent idea! It has a lid, guys! A lid! To stop any potential spillage! It's genius! (Genius is never recognised in its lifetime!) Grin

SadSadSadSad
So I met my friend and she told me (news) that she has been TTC for a year and everything seems ok but it is not happening for her.
I am all like well dont worry, it can take a long time blah blah. She was pretty sad as our other friends have bebes already.

Then we go for dinner with the other girls and OF COURSE!!!!! This other friend goes oh I can't drink the wine and I cant eat this and that... ConfusedConfused
She is pregnant AGAIN. So I sat there looking at my other friend who was trying not to release the Niagara falls and I thought wtf some people just look at DH and are upduffed!

This is a bit of a lottery and I guess we just need to keep on playing and supporting each other here! SmileGrin

AliceScarlett · 09/01/2016 22:48

Apparently peas along with soy are also natural contraceptives Confused

Is tuna a mercury thing?

Ovia just told me my CM means I'm entering my fertile window Shock

ElleSarcasmo · 09/01/2016 22:47

Thanks Snow, that is interesting.

Sorry about AF Lilian.

You're not out yet Kat!

Sorry to hear you're feeling crappy Runner, hopefully it will pass soon and you can get on with being excited again! Do you have your first scan booked yet?

Evergreen, this was a friend of a friend. They were in Bath I think-it might be a bit dependent on where you live. Genius idea though!

drinkyourmilk · 09/01/2016 22:43

I was a nanny for years. So know I'll be using a sling and cloth nappies as I've done it before.
