Confused I can't use the CBFM yet as you have to wait for at least 1 AF to start it Sad don't have any other OPKs so am clueless

Yep red I'm still feeling a bit sicky

Going to test Wednesday morning with FMU then give up until I get AF!!

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 23/01/2017 14:39

Oh I really hope it is PMS and that AF is on her way although tbh I'm fairly hotheaded anyway (Irish temper). Anyhoo finished work for the day and on way to Ski Dubai so hopefully the snow will chill me out ⛷

Tomorrow is another day and all that! Hope you're all well.

I sit on Reception with a revolving door and when the door goes it literally drops by 2c in the reception!... i made them measure it and everything! I have 2 plug in heaters for me to rest my legs on and then we have a massive hallogen type heater behind reception and even then the temp reaches 19 at most with a good run of no one opening the door! Lol

Did you get +ve opk Grumpy? I know you have cbfm but didn't know if you had cheapies to feed s poas addiction use before then! Lol

Thanks Red!... i get where your coming from with stuff like that!... i have always been really open and told everyone that asks anything like that that me and DH might struggle due to illness and that seems to get them off our backs a bit! Although MIL tends to say stuff to put DH off having kids not encourage him! Lol

Mrs you should be able to get it this ashy! Only because its not really as light as highlights... in comparison to my bleached hair this is very very dark! Also about LP you need to wait to find out because i think 9 is very very short! So fingers crossed AF is just late and you are having a wacky month!

Ooo so yesterday i bought some more cheapie opks from amazon.. decided to get Cassanoviom (something like that) which was £11 and thought it was just 50 opks but it has turned up in this perfect little set of 50 opk 5 hpt a load of disposable pee pots and a chart to track and everything! Plus the sticks are great quality in compraison to one step ones!

And last bit of my essay is that Amazon have the tommee tippee electric breast pump starter set on sale from £120 to £39 (obv i purchased one to make my set complete! Lol)

still feeling nauseous grumpy?

I am still dying of 'man'flu! I would go home but nobody incl myself will get paid Friday if i do Sad

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 12:03

Trying to hold off until Wednesday because Sunday morning was such a clear negative - so tough!

MrsC2017 · 23/01/2017 11:52

confused hair is platinum blonde, highlights, have naturally dark hair though which apparently causes brassyness, problem is I'm also half grey so it's the only way to disguise the roots! I went grey young, bad genes Angry regards ov I ovulate d three days late I think, gives me a 9/10 day leutal phase, I normally think I have a 12day one but hey, first month OPKing so maybe I've just been wrong!
grumpy when are you due to test again? I'd say try again in the morning if nothing..... All sounds promising to me!
red that is so frustrating, wonder is there anything u can do to jump-start things again? Well done on the weightloss u ar doing great!
tigger well done on weightloss and hope you have sorted your computer woes!
I'm going on a mini city break next month so if AF shows up it'll pass the time for my next tww... Treating myself in advance, will also ease the disappointment if I don't get BFP this month!
My office is like a freezer so I got my own plug in radiator and it's great! Managed a smoothie for breakfast so off to a good start this week, long may it last!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 10:50

That is annoying red I would be irritated, my dad often says things like "dont leave it too late now"!

I'm feeling really nauseous suddenly!!! Also have boob stabby pains. Could be incidental I know.

Redpony1 · 23/01/2017 10:31

Just seen your hair photo confused - i love it!

grumpy being on CD48 is very frustrating... I had light cramping and a little stabby pain in my right breast yesterday so hoped i'd wake up to AF today, but nothing.

DP's mother yesterday was talking about something then came out with the 'just waiting for you 2 to have a baby now', and that 'timewas ticking' we both ignored her. I said to DP afterwards that it was a big assumption that we could even have children, what if we couldn't? Didn't bother me, i'm not easily offended or upset at all but if could upset others!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 10:05

Confused i am always cold at work too I would be complaining constantly if it was under 16 deg!! Men are naturally hotter I think,.

Slight tense feeling in uterus area - not period cramps though. I'm bored waiting!!! I think if I ovulated on 10th it should have shown up on a hpt by now if I was pregnant (BFN on sat) so maybe just hormones being weird. I know low closed cervix is pre AF sign but mine is definitely high and closed

confusedat23 · 23/01/2017 09:56

Thats a good idea Dancing... i accidently told DH that sperm should be used regularly so they stay healthy lool...

Ooo Grumpy i think that is good !?

Not long now Mummy you can hold out till Sunday!

I wish Tigger my workspace is always under the regulated 16c minimum office temp... i have often wondered if this would affect pregnancy or not Hmm

Ohh Theres please feel free to have the most massive rant ever! Lol... maybe this is PMS now you are off the implant?

Ooo Red isn't being snotty a symptom? Well done on the training and inches lost!!

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 09:54

Well done red! I've put on weight this week but I think it's water as I'm bloated again. Been doing loads of yoga! CD28, no AF yet. I want either AF or BFP! can't imagine how frustrated you must be at CD48??

Redpony1 · 23/01/2017 09:33

oh oh oh & i did my 3 week measurments & have lost a combined 4.5inches so far Grin

Redpony1 · 23/01/2017 09:32

Wow you lot have been chatty!!

Welcome to the newbies Grin

CD48 for me, no sign of AF but i have an absolutely stinking snotty cold that come on about 4pm yesterday Sad

However, i did manage to do 30min interval training on Saturday and a 10mile training run yesterday morning Smile

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 23/01/2017 09:04

I am in a foul mood today. Wish I could blame it on AF but suspect I am just in raging bitch mode. Work is doing my bloody head in and haven't lost a single pound all bloody week. Pass me the fucking wine 🍷 oh yes that's right, dry January!!! Crawls into a hole seething 😤----

Tigger83 · 23/01/2017 08:57

Morning all well I'm sat here trying to study for an exam tomorrow and my computer has frozen midway through a revision test how to make a Monday even better.

Also got cramps and backache so look like af is in her way Confused

I'm on the weight loss slog too- hoping to get a stone and a half off by April so far I'm 3lb down (2weeks in) but got to focus this week ready for the northern lights in a couple of weeks- not that anyone will notice under the massive layers that we'll have to wear but I am hoping to wear a pretty dress for the ice hotel!

Anyways another cuppa whilst I crack on with my day job whilst the stupid test reloads! Hope you all have a fantastic day and are wrapped up somewhere warm.

Mummyme87 · 23/01/2017 08:04

Morning ladies,
8dpo here.. feeling crazy! Symptom spotting all over the place. AF due on Sunday
Felt really off yesterday. Lightheaded, tired, nausea and headache... of course this could be in my head 🙈

buzzmoon · 23/01/2017 07:22

We're the opposite 😳 As trying to avoid getting preggers till after the wedding. Maybe that's where I'm getting all my calories... I wonder how many syns 😂

Hope you all have happy Mondays! 😘

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 06:38

Cervix is much higher, firmer and totally closed vs a week ago. Anyone know if that means anything? Ovia is lacking in insight today..

Seven0fNine · 22/01/2017 23:48

Haha! Glad it's not just my dh who is obsessed!

DancingUnicorn · 22/01/2017 22:13

Confused I always seem to be really keen towards the latter part of AF, which is pretty annoying!

I've also had similar requests for during AF as my oh was disappointed when I said I'd read saliva can interfere with the sperm...

confusedat23 · 22/01/2017 22:05

There was a girl i used to know who used to say she wouldn't swallow because she was gluten intolerent... dr google pointed out that actually there is no gluten in said fluids Hmm

Your LP stays the same Mrs like Jupiter said so your AF should be delayed too... how many days late is ov?

I agree about CB it is stupidly expensive... i got the Dual one with 20sticks (should be 2 cycles) for £20 in the sale so thought i would give it a go... but i am not going to keep chucking money at it! Lol

Thats meant to be true about Sex Drive thing... i really want it around ov but i never do around AF... totally not interested lol

OP posts:
HeyJupiter · 22/01/2017 21:38

Hmmm, Seven that is wishful thinking on his part... just tell him its too many calories :)

MrsC might just be a random late ovulation this month. I think our luteal phases stay pretty much the same length every month so AF may well be delayed this month because of that (although hopefully it won't show up at all!)

Confused the clearblue kits are ridiculously expensive, and you can't even buy extra sticks when you run out - have to get a WHOLE new kit ugh.

Sex drive went up lots when came off the pill which has helped for sure... maybe not DTD-ing 6 times a week though! I do think the more you do it the more you want it though.

confusedat23 · 22/01/2017 21:23

Awhh thanks Mrs what is youe hair like?... after 8 years of pure white blonde it is a big change for me but everyone is loving it so far!.. also i just cannot eat dark chocolate... i hate it! Lol

Jupiter i am using both CB dual and IC opks this month... i like the idea of CB to know when to start DTD but i trust the IC to catch the
Surge! But tbh if i use my 2 cycles of CB up and i am able to go it alone i wont buy anymore as too expensive!

Ive actually found that since coming off the pill its me who is wanting it more! Lol so i completely understand Dancing Grumpyand Mummy

Ahaha Seven i have been asked if that can happen during AF... so as not to waste the swimmers Hmm men eh! Lol

OP posts:
Mummyme87 · 22/01/2017 20:27

Sex drive definitely gone up for me too since stopping the pill, but mainly during fertile week

DancingUnicorn · 22/01/2017 20:19

Seven haha! Wishful thinking there!
