Oh god I think I have a POAS addiction I really do.
Im scared to tell DH that not only have I ALREADY peed on 2 IC ( what !! I had to make sure it was a BFN ) but that the other bag is full of 50 OPK's !! Blush
He is going to think I am mental.

Sigh..........I will stop now though. Cramps def feel like AF and I think 4 BFN's is enough dont you lol,

pink lol at your nob fixer

Velvetcu · 02/11/2010 20:28

:o at the POASers. My BFP last time was the first time I had ever done it but I have been developing an addiction too since the mmc!

I only have 1 in the house though and I am not going to test unless I get to day 40. Definately not. I can't believe I'm on cd15 though - it seems so recently I was pissed off coz AF arrived now I've got to get on with SWI!

Your poor DH Pink what on earth do you do to the poor man? Am so pleased for you that he is still trying though!

Sorry that AF has got some of you - she is a bitch!

HidingInTheBackRow · 02/11/2010 20:32

Don't worry inbetweener I used to secretly buy tests and then do them when DP was out and bury the remains in the bottom of the bin wrapped in loads of plastic bags so he wouldn't know and think I was going loopy.
...hmmm.. not sure it worked really...Blush

I think I am more in need of a lady bits fixer then a nob fixer. DP assures me that his bits are doing fine Grin

Velvetcu · 02/11/2010 20:54

oh and question for you - i have kind of stabbing pains on my right side. If they are ov pains do they happen before, during or after ov?

GetDownYouWillFall · 02/11/2010 21:18

Before and During Velvetcu !!!

Go go go!!!

Velvetcu · 02/11/2010 21:44

I have no ewcm nor higher temps yet so I think I have a couple of days to go. Am feeling a bit randy yesterday/today tho. Not that I have any idea!!

GetDownYouWillFall · 02/11/2010 21:51

you won't see higher temps until after ov, and then it would be too late.

EWCM doesn't always happen either - I don't get all that much so I don't rely on it as a rule. When I got pregnant with DD I didn't seem to have any around the time of ov, but still managed to get pregnant.

AandRMum · 02/11/2010 22:02

If you do get EWCM is that a couple of days before ov or when you ov. Think I am ov'ing but DH decidedly not interested as we have been on the once a day for last 5 days and I'll have no chance if I tell him hmmm wonder where my sexy knickers are ( stuffed down back of drawer as arse doesn't fit in them anymore!!)... so much for not trying this month!

AandRMum · 02/11/2010 22:09

izzy I completely get the not mentioning the mc to others when DH is around. Not sure if it is because he considers it done and over with and hence why bother mentioning it or he just isn't the sharing type and doesn't understand why I am ...

PinkFondantFancy · 02/11/2010 22:21

Hello ladies! Just been for acupuncture, was v. nice! She reckons I should take herbs though - she's given me "Tiao Jing Cu Yun Wan", it comes in a pink box - what do you reckon? I'm a bit nervous since I'm on the two week wait but I googled it a bit and it looks like lots of ladies preparing for IVF take it.

PinkFondantFancy · 02/11/2010 22:42

Hmmmm have been googling around - given that I have no idea where they got made and whether they got contaminated in the manufacturing process etc. I think it's probably safer I give them a miss. Unfortunately I can only find websites selling herbs or the Daily Mail (not exactly two of the most balanced sources for arguments for and against) so it's hard to get anything sensible but it just feels too risky :(

MummyAbroad · 02/11/2010 22:43

inbetweener dont feel too bad, I think all the early testing is actually a right of passage, we all go through it. I really hope you get your BFP soon, but if its not straight away you will find your will power naturally returning after a few months too, so at least you wont feel like a lunatic. I am all for hiding the pee sticks from DH's, bless them they can never hope to understand this kind of madness, its safest to protect them from it.Grin

just realised I havent really said hello and welcome to newbies, so Rach and Hiding here are your welcome packs

I am taking my last pill tomorrow- hoorah! Tightie whities are all washed and lined up ready for useGrin

Urbanlolly · 02/11/2010 22:47

Evening all thanks again for all the lovely posts, put a proper smile on my face!!
Was off work 2day too much time to ponder!! A bit wobbely & hormonal & feeling in limbo.... Not quite sure what to obsess about. missing ff in a weird way...
nix never inspired before..that was a lovely message to wake up to. when do you get the green lights?
Welcome orange & hiding be super good to yourselves.... Hope your stay is short xx
Hi betweener FX for you my opk's recommended testing between 10am-8pm... Could you do it at work & when you get home? No expert but think these are the hrs when body produces the LH......so hard not to obsess.
Loving the early testing posts ESP mummya that's alot of stinky fish...we are all guilty!!
A&R yip due 12th fx....forgot about that post...couldn't figure out how you knew!!! Then read it again!!!! Weird how things work as my Bday request from dh this year was a baby....
kat so sorry she got you.... But FX your shiney new cbfm gets very little use xxx
velvet Randy!! Yes go girl!!!!!

I have another possible symptom to spot got it early this & last time. A very fine dusting of little tiny freckles on the tops of my thighs & across chest, some sort of pigmentation.
Also the only other thing I did was really try & increase my H2O intake....don't think I heard it on mn but worth a try xxx

Velvetcu · 02/11/2010 22:56

Hmm the pain has switched to the left now. Probably wind or something!

AandRMum · 02/11/2010 23:13

Or twins .... ov'ing on both sides!!!

IzzyWizzyletsgetsomesparklers · 03/11/2010 06:49

Go velvet go!!!

mummya got everything crossed (yes, even legs, it's way too late for anything productive in that department now!) that AF finally gets herself over to you now - get the tightie whities on!!! x

PinkFondantFancy · 03/11/2010 07:09

Fk Fk fk fk girls I need your help. Fertility friend confidently tells me I ov'ed last week. My pants less confidently tell me I ov'ed last week. However, cbfm has carried on giving me highs so I thought I'd keep feeding it the rest of the sticks in the pack ad it was almost finished and you're not supposed to mix packs. I've been looking at the lines like owly said and yesterday they were suddenly equally dark and today the bottom one is super dark and the top one light and I've now got a peak on the monitor. Ffs I stopped shagging a week ago for fear dh's nob would fall off. Reckon we might manage a panic shag tonight but apart from that, another wasted month thanks to panic swi at day 10...... I don't see how they can be so different but surely the chemistry doesn't lie. Aghghghghghghghghghghgghghghhghghghgg

IzzyWizzyletsgetsomesparklers · 03/11/2010 07:45

pink I would tend to believe ff over CBFM personally. BUT it is possible to ov twice in one month so I would definitely go for a well-timed panic shag just to be sure today, and maybe tomorrow if mrpink is up to it!

I know what you mean about starting too early - we were the same this month - but your timing sounds pretty good to me!

Good morning! velvet and pff I hope you both got swi done last night!

get down like you, in both my previous pregnancies I have noticed that I don't get EWCM in the month I become pregnant. Although I didn't get any this month eitherConfused

I am literally sitting on my hands to prevent testing. Only 3 days to go before I can test, or drink..

I love the term Panic-shag. We are all mental here, aren't we?

velvet randy is always a good sign for me!

Got my fx for mummya, not long now. Where's nix? Hope all you ladies are well. I'm off to do some work.

PinkFondantFancy · 03/11/2010 08:57

Tmi but no pant snot for a week but had a little furkle today and shed loads of wet pale White cm, just like last week. Aghgh soooo confused, thought I was getting the hang of this!!
