Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

Sorry Cal, didn't realise your period had come, I must have missed it while reading through it all!

Off to look through your links now

NatalieJane · 15/04/2008 10:34

Awww thank you

Sister 1, haven't got on with her for years, she had a paddy because we didn't go to her house. We had already travelled 200 miles to my mums, with the kids, she lives about 50 miles away from my mums, has no kids, didn't even bother to send DS1 a birthday card, so because we didn't want to have the kids in the car for a long journey again, she stropped and wouldn't come to see us. No loss to us because as I said we don't get on. I got over that one pretty quickly!

Sister 2, her DH, and their 3 kids..... huge great big long story, basically Sister 2 and her DH are just the most selfish fuckers you could ever meet, to the point where even if their own kids are crying because it is 3 o'clock and they haven't had any lunch, neither of them will get up and make the kids a sarnie or anything because they themselves aren't hungry, and then on top of that they will yell, scream, shout, and bellow, and SMACK them (youngest is 7 months old FFS) at the kids for crying and playing up, WTF do they expect? GRRRRRRRRRRR. And none of what I have just said is the worst of it! If it wasn't for the fact that my mum looks after the kids pretty much all day every day, so I know she is in fact looking after them, I honestly would have rang SS by now.

Bloody families eh? I am just glad that we live so far away! And if we ever do actually manage to sell our house and move back down south, we are not moving within a 50 miles radius of them all!!

I googled "cervical mucous grapefruit juice" and found this...

will keep looking...

calsworld · 15/04/2008 10:23

Welcome back NJ! Oh yes, grapefruit sounds familiar to me too, will go off in search once more. CD3 for me now , but over the disappointment and revving up for another month of shagging . Did I just say that ?

Broody, read this, there's loads of stuff all over the net, just google cervical mucous! but the article I've linked is as good as any for getting the gist of things!

Come on Nat, spill the beans! I've a choice of reading about your grr factors or sifting through invoice queries!

Broodybabywannabe · 15/04/2008 10:10

NJ!!! welcom back!! you've been missed!!

Yes lets title the new thread something to do with GOF it'l be amusing ha ha!

Goangoan tell us whats upset you at your sisters? we will make you feel happy x

NatalieJane · 15/04/2008 09:53

Ooooh yes, grapefruit was deffo mentioned

MoosMa · 15/04/2008 09:49

Morning all,

Congrats Dis! When will you be testing again for your darker line?

LL and GJ, how are your DPs? I hope last night went well for you both.

Cal, you didn't imagine it, I've heard about the diet thing too, I think grapefruit juice was mentioned

CD34 for me today, no sign of anything but I think I OVd about 10 days ago so maybe AF will show up at the weekend? Oh Joy.

Which reminds me, where's Heron?

NatalieJane · 15/04/2008 09:45

Cal, I think I have read about how your diet can affect the EWCM, I can't remember what it said though, I think someone might have linked to it on one of our threads, not long ago, maybe a couple of weeks?

NatalieJane · 15/04/2008 09:42

Hello hello helllllllooooooooooooooo

Dis huge congratulations my lovely I am sooooo pleased for you after all the waiting

What a day to return???

Had a lovely time with my mum, wish I could say the same about 2 of my sisters, but I am not even going to go into it, one thing I will say though is that if I ever, EVER, turn into the sort of 'mother' my sister is I will call social services on myself! Anyway....

Have had a quick read through, (only took an hour! Do you guys ever shurrup??!!!! ) so I am up to speed, but can't remember what I was going to say to everyone!!

Kay, hope people are being a bit more sensitive now, and I had bleeding with both of the kids and they are fine, really try not to worry, I know easier said than done, but although bleeding in pregnancy isn't normal, it is very common, I think stats have shown about 40% of pregnancies have some bleeding. Hope everything is OK now.

Cal, BB, Cosmo, will put a search party out for your periods, I reckon they are too comfy on the wagon roof in the sun, they'll come back when it rains!

GJ, any joy with DH?

LL how did DH's interview go?

Tink, I have said before I have no idea on the chart, I haven't got a clue how it all works, but I hope something happens that makes it obvious what is going on soon.

I have been thinking about this wagon, I think now that most of us are deffo off it, we need something a bit classier to take us on our journey, what do we think to one of those poshed up tour coach thingymebobs you can see on that Cribs program? Y'know they have proper living rooms, and bedrooms, and bathrooms (because we will be needing the loo a lot for all the testing!!) proper stereo's and DVD players, we could call it something very cheesy to piss off the MN brigade, 'The TTC'ing Express'.... or 'GOF Transport, for the ride of your life'..... LOL

Sorry, ignore me, am in a rather silly mood today. Think I am still getting over the weekend and can do nothing but laugh else I'd just cry and stamp my foot!

Broodybabywannabe · 15/04/2008 09:42

congrats dis!! cant say im not tho!! we must virtually rub you for luck lol!!

Whats this thing about EWCM, does having EWCM mean you are fertile?? xx

calsworld · 15/04/2008 09:37

Dis, I think I'm OVing later than I think too, and starting BD obsession a bit early in my cycle, so this month will be super vigilant for any signs of EWCM.

I thought that I'd read an article somewhere about how your diet can affect the quality of your CM but can't find it now. Anyone heard of this or am I imagining things?

OP posts:
Disenchanted · 15/04/2008 08:59

I figured that if I did OV after CD18 and I got caught on my 21/22 BDs that I would be about 11DPO, lol, so did it!

calsworld · 15/04/2008 08:58

No, we can't start a new thread, this one's too lucky - you'll all have to wait until after my AF has finished, I've OV'd, GOF'd and 2ww'ed!

Dis that's great news! Can't believe you were poas at midnight!

I'm working from home today and managed to squeeze a couple of hours in last night after DS went to bed so don't feel guilty about popping on here throughout the day.

When's NJ back? I'm beginning to get withdrawal symptoms!

Disenchanted · 15/04/2008 08:29

Disenchanted · 15/04/2008 08:26

Hi Kayz

going to wait until my line gets darker! lol

kayzisexpecting · 15/04/2008 06:24

Morning.

Congratulations Dis, you can join me in the Due Dec 08 thread.
If we ever find it again. It has completely vanished, not a clue where it has gone so I have asked MNHQ, we don't want to start a new one again.

I hope everyone is ok. I feel sick this morning and I am at work all day from 9 until 6.

Disenchanted · 15/04/2008 00:00

Hiya!
Just got a faint BFP on tescos HPT!

Think I mustve got caught from the CD21/22/23 BDing, meaning Im only 9/10DPO
