I think its ok Jupiter i would say its probably that you ov'd from your left side and so your ovary is stretching as the corpus lutum stretches

I can't believe 7 preggos in 3 months! Its insane lol

Buzz you will get a positive on a digi anytime with lines like that tbh... i read somewhere they are 25mlu

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 18:58

Jupiter this morning when it said Peak it told me to test again tomorrow. "Day14. First day of Peak fertility. Don't forget to test on day15"

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 18:51

I'm so excited for you and your DH tomorrow jupiter ☺️

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 18:50

Yeah quite possibly ovulated later. I just checked and I only noticed EWCM at CD23

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 18:50

grumpy with the OPK CB dual kit the peak stays on the stick for 48 hours and you cant test again. Does the monitor ask you to test again the day after your peak? I suppose you don't know yet :)

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 18:48

buzz technically yes (I think..) Did you ovulate later this month do you think? If not I guess you just implanted later?

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 18:47

I ask a really stupid question? So if my conception date was like 2 weeks ago but they still count the weeks by your last period? So I'm actually like 5 weeks pregnant?! That sounds ridiculous?

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 18:28

Yeah jupiter it doesn't feel real at all still! We are round SILs today with 2 little ones so haven't really felt any different. Apart from feel very dizzy when playing ballerinas with the 4 year old!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 18:15

Well the OPK was darker than yesterday but not as dark as I've seen mine get before (about equal or slightly fainter than control is the darkest I've ever got). However it was with v dilute wee. Will see if CBFM still says Peak tomorrow and do OPK at same time

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 17:44

Let us know grumpy, want to see how CB matches up with normal OPK sticks.

You should do one tomorrow buzz - the lines on your tests today were pretty strong. Not sure what the sensitivity of the CB digitals are. I have got the one without the weeks calculator which I think is less sensitive than the digitals that do...DH and I so excited to see it in front of us, might make this a bit more real. How are you feeling this evening?? x

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 17:20

I really want to do a digital too jupiter

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 17:04

Ahh I don't know lol.. BFP would be due 2 April, assuming I ovulate tomorrow. Going to do an OPK when I get home shortly to see if that is also turning positive

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 16:51

The list is amazing seven thank you, absolutely love the ‘hump on hold’ Grin Does grumpy need to go into humping though now?

Sorry you’ve been feeling so yucky MrsC, what a nightmare. Online shopping is the way forward Flowers

confused how rubbish, I’m so sorry you’re facing all that - the last thing that you need at the moment. Time to start looking for a new property. Will definitely share my digital if people don’t mind :)

parnsips good luck with the dieting this week, sounds like a plan! It’s probably mainly water retention anyway so will fall off.

I keep getting a sort of left hand side cramping pain still. It’s a bit like ovarian pain actually (like at ovulation, I had it a few days after ovulation too) - it’s really not that painful at all and not all the time. Okay do we think? It might be digestive to be honest as I am so bloated and windy!! Don’t want to panic with thoughts of ectopic or anything..

confusedat23 · 18/03/2017 16:17

Well the management company arnt open at weekends so there is nothing we can do... i dont think we can leave until 30th April earliest but we are deffo going to see if there is somewhere else we can move to.

We love this flat we have done it all up to be all homely but tbh if its this unreliable how are we meant to bring up children here!

DH has wanted to move since the damp problem but i have wanted to stay as i have moved 5 times in the last 3 years but now even i have had enough lol

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 16:12

Oh confused that sounds absolutely shit :( I'm so sorry! Are you hoping to move? Stress that you really don't need :(

confused that sounds so Crap, how can the landlord get away with that, leaves you in a Crap position then when he won't fix what needs to be done. Not sure on the laws over there but that should be illegal! Definitely stress u don't need!

confusedat23 · 18/03/2017 15:51

We have also had bailiffs turn up for the landlord twice...

confusedat23 · 18/03/2017 15:37

Buzz i am so happy for you! Wed2b do really lovely dresses cheap that you leave on the day with if you do need to have another dress!

Jupiter I cant wait to see your digi tomorrow!

Mummy I am sorry you feel so down but please come back and see us even if you just want to have a massive rant!

So i've had a shit day... the fridge freezer has broken in our flat and i've just had enough! We have only been in here since mid november and the following list has happened:

  • wasing machine broke and needed replacing (took until jan)
  • bottom oven broke
  • hob broke
  • excessive damp problem
  • boiler broke
  • all lightbulbs went
  • smoke alarm broken
  • fridge freezer broken

Now i have always been an unlucky person but fucking hell this takes the piss! And my pregnant self just cannot take it anymore!

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 15:33

parsnips you can do this! I'm sure you'll fit in your dress! Have you tried it on recently? Good luck! I've just eaten a Krispy Kreme donut 😔 and having takeaway tonight oops

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 14:32

Brilliant seven thanks! And actually makes me feel much better seeing the hump on hold section as there's a fair few of us waiting. Sometimes feels like everyone is in the throes of TTC!

Great work!

On a separate note I really need to get back in the diet swing of things again. I had managed to lose ten pounds and I've put seven back on! SEVEN! I feel like a manatee! I'm going to the races next weekend and I'm actually worried the dress won't fit so I'm going to have no carbs this week and drink gallons of water and hope for the best.

I need some diet motivation asap!
