Morning Ladies

Posted this on another thread but thought i'd post it here too as i feel better knowing i'm not the only pee stick addict on MN!!

Well had a bit of a false OPK alarm yesterday and dinner with the boys at the Harvester nearly turned into inseminations at mine. The clearblue fertility monitor decided not to work yesterday morning so i done a cheap ebay OPK, nothing and then picked it up to throw it in the bin 20 mins later and 2 lines, one very faint!!! Went to the chemist and bought the clearblue OPK's and negative, re-read the instuctions and found out that a line fainter than the test line is a negative reading. Oops! You would think after peeing on sticks for 3 months i would have got the hang of it by now!!!! I now have 3 sticks to potentially pee on everyday do you think i'm becoming a little obsessive LOL

(heebychick searches under desk for baby dust) yes we should be due some good luck now eh!

funtime i agree, we are joined by our destructive ways.

How is everyone this morning?

I have looked at my dates and early next week should be the best time for 'early nights'

How do we write up a list for AF due dates for this thread maybe?

SparkyMalarky · 20/08/2008 20:01

Funtime - neurotic? us? the test destroyers?!

I feel super positive for us all this month - now where we can we get some baby dust from for extra luck!

funtimewincies · 20/08/2008 19:25

Hi all, AFs drawing to a close - getting that fruity feeling , or is it just me ? Good luck for this month sparky. Abstract - sorry to hear about the m/c. You're in good company as there are unfortunately many of us who know what you're feeling right now (veteran of 1 ep, 1 'disappearing twin', 1 mmc, 1 early mc and 1 gorgeous ds). Mind you, it does give us carte blanche to be as neurotic as we like!

Gin and grapefruit - now that might actually work (pootles off to raid the drinks cupboard...)

nelix2000 · 20/08/2008 17:47

SparkyMalarky · 20/08/2008 11:32

Heeby - I pulled apart an OPK last night, does that count? (couldn't work out if the lines were the same or not....)

nelix2000 · 20/08/2008 08:04

Hi all - am back to mumsnetting and remembering the addiction. i found this fab sie in 2004 when pg with number 1 and now ttc number 3. Got period today so I guess that makes me cd1 too....heres to a quick graduation to an AN thread for all!!

Heebychick · 19/08/2008 21:41

Hi abstract i remember you from the last thread, i'm really sorry about your m/c. i had one in May/June so understand totally. if it helps i feel like i have really gotten back on track now and am ready to start again.

do you think we should make this an exclusive, 'only allowed to join if you've deconstructed tests' thread?!

AbstractMouse · 19/08/2008 21:36

Hi all I'm on cd whatever, hope you don't mind me joining. Had a m/c last month and not sure when af will arrive (hopefully on time) I have also deconstructed tests lol if that helps.

Heebychick · 19/08/2008 21:30

Hey good luck then!!! is this your first baby?

makingafamily · 19/08/2008 21:19

Heeby i'm overly emotional anyway as this is our first cycle. Eek!!!

Heebychick · 19/08/2008 21:14

Hi makingafamily welcome, this thread was quite emotional last month so lets hope this new one is much more positive!

makingafamily · 19/08/2008 21:10

I'm on CD7 so can i join this thread?

Nelix, have tried to meassge you but can't So message me. We are due to start home insems this month. So fingers crossed for all TTC'ers x

Heebychick · 19/08/2008 20:31

Good evening ladies,

sparky lovely to hear from you too, i feel a bit silly for getting so worked up but hey new month new me! Good luck with the next few days then, get those feet on the wall afterwards!

funtime i agree with you, i think you almost have to have a limit to then aim towards, not strictly but a guideline at least. And yes i'll have ice and lemon please - i like this part of not being pregnant i have to say!

nelix i took a test apart too, don't we sound like nutters! i here by promise to be patient, relaxed and calm about this whole baby making process ... yeah right!

SparkyMalarky · 19/08/2008 19:02

Hello ladies....I'm a little bit ahead (CD12 - DH on standby at all times ;)) but wanted to stop in and say hi!

Heeby Hurrah!! It's so nice to see you back

funtime Can I have a g 'n' g (gin and grapefruit juice?) - does that count?

Nelix you are naughty pulling the test apart (loved that story!)

I'm obsessing about OPKs at the moment (clearly trying to stay v relaxed - am having to hide them in the bathroom!!) - just read today you shouldn't use them first thing in the morning. B*gger.

Good luck all - keep me posted (I've a feeling some of us will be luckier this month!!)

nelix2000 · 19/08/2008 15:33

Hey heeby pretty certain its AF yes....what else can it be?...it was around the right time, to late for implantation bleed I would certainly think...and it feels like it you know?...i read on here that grapefuit juice can help create more CM there is a thread on it somewhere...and apart from it being horrid it cant hurt! LOL never seen the movie!

Hey funtime lol I could not resist taking the test apart! but apparently two lines on the stick dont mean a positive necasserily as they work in different wayS!! this cycle it will be a good old fashioned non digital one AND i will wait a full two weeks after insem!!! I will be good!!!

OP posts:
funtimewincies · 19/08/2008 14:02

Hi Heeby (ice and lemon in yours? )

Pleased to hear that you're feeling a little more relaxed about the whole thing. I think that I might take a leaf out of your book and if I've not managed to conceive (and hang on to it) by the end of the year, I'm going to stop 'trying' and just accept that ds may or may not have a sibling.

Nelix - saw your other thread about taking the test apart! Naughty girl, slapped wrists all round !
