Oh ted, so funny tinkeling, not sure I can even do the winkling as trying to keep that "stuff" from dh so he doesn't think I'm just using using him ha ha ha
I am easy to please though so do "tinkle" every time anyway just usually first Blush
Fatas it could be af arriving early mine was only 10dpo this month as in my experience implantation isn't heavy or red but some women do get periods all the way through, I surpose it depends what you think, you know your body best, when I had implantation I knew it wasn't a proper "af" for me just loads of things didn't add up, fx for you though
Why do you think your out sunshine?!
Winkle go for it again just incase, have you tried an opk test aswell just to see?

kittykatsforever · 28/06/2012 18:30

Oh and just bought myself some epo, it's capsules 500mg, is that right?Wink

SunshineOutdoors · 28/06/2012 18:37

Because I'm not obsessed with taking those stupid cheap Internet tests oh no someone take them off me and even though I know it's early there's not even a hint of a line, not even something so faint I can imagine it's there - and I've been trying to.

I've been so breezy and positive and ooh I'll just enjoy shagging loads but now I seemed to have turned into some kind of crazy woman.

Going to try to forget about it until tomorrow morning for a bit and just appreciate what I do have.

SunshineOutdoors · 28/06/2012 18:39

I hope it's not af fatas but hope you find out one way or another soon. If it's weird/out of the ordinary for you it's annoying if you don't know what it is

kittykatsforever · 28/06/2012 18:42

Well that's not af sunshine so don't give up
We all get down about it so after all your positivity for us it's up to us to do the same, and FYI we all turn into mad women don't believe otherwise we all have secret stashes of tests etc we don't tell anyone we obsessively do, just remember I did one at 6dpo Blush just for research!!!

SunshineOutdoors · 28/06/2012 18:49

Thank you
Thanks

winkle2 · 28/06/2012 19:21

Kitty I've heard 1500mg - 3000mg a day but I only took 1000mg a day.

Tad annoyed if this is OV cause I stopped taking my EPO last week grrrr

Ok ok you caught me too - I cracked and did a test just now! Bfn of course and completely pointless!!
(just to show its not just you feeling mad sunshine )Wink

icequeenkate · 28/06/2012 20:12

Very quick message for Ted - yay for a bfp!!!! Grin

FloweryBoots · 28/06/2012 20:49

Woah, what a lot to catch up on. Have exam marking to do on top of a toddler and full time job so had stepped away from the MN for a bit Grin

Ted BRILLIANT news, so pleased for you.

Sorry Fatas could it still just be too early, sorry with about a million pages of posts to catch up on I have already forgotten who is at where and whoes done what!

Had a few giggles whilst catching up. I could do with the nerve for tinkling post DTD, but tend to do it a bed time and it would be a bit rude with DH right there!Blush

CD29 here. Have managed to stay pretty sane and relaxed so far but starting to crumble now. Cylces are 29 - 34 days and I'm not one for testing early so need to hang on a bit yet. Thing is, there is a FRER in the cupboard from last month (well, half way through this month really when I was still feeling faint and throwing up every morning depsite AF having been and gone and my Dad of all people insited I do a test after I fainted on him) and it's a lot harder to maintain the 'I'm not an early testing sort of a gall' stance when there is a stick in the house! Foolish me buying a two pack of tests! Still, think a negative would be harder to take then AF showing up so holding myself back. No symptoms of PG, but then I didn't have any with DS till 6 or 7 weeks, and no symptoms of AF, but don't normally get any warning.

winkle2 · 28/06/2012 20:52

Flowery - I never buy 2 packs for that very reason! Too tempting to test!

OP posts:
FloweryBoots · 28/06/2012 20:54

Yep, verry silly indeed. In my defence, I think it was all they had (or perhaps I was anticipating I would need the second one soon and they were cheaper that way, I am inhernatly tight after all)

SunshineOutdoors · 28/06/2012 21:16

I've got about 10 fucking tests burning a hole in my bathroom drawer I'm not going to tell you how many I've taken today

I can see now it's a big mistake (you are a LOT more sane than me floweryboots). I'm not going to do it again next month. They'll probably all be used up by the time af comes and then I can learn from my mistake and not do it again.

I'm not testing 'til af is a WEEK late next time - if any of you are on the thread next month - and I really hope you aren't - then please remind me of this!

if you do test though let us know

backwardpossom · 28/06/2012 21:21

lol sunshine I have a few upstairs burning a hole in the drawer... reminds self it's far too early to test yet

wunnybunny · 28/06/2012 21:25

lol i got 50 tests coming from amazon soon and im only 9dpo

winkle2 · 28/06/2012 21:40

I spent the first few months testing early and got sick of BFNs so now I never test early :(

OP posts:
FloweryBoots · 28/06/2012 22:13

I was 4-5 days late before I trested with DS (cycles regular back then). That's so not going to happen this time! Just know I'll find a negative worse than AF though so need to hang on.

It's only cycle 2 and DH was away around the crucial time so should not get my hopes up, but if we don't do it within 3 cycles I've decided we'll stop whilst I get a new job and then just start again as soon as I've started (worked out you had to do 1 week in a new job before getting pg to still qualify for SMP). Haven't actually really discussed that with DH though, this is just my thinking at present!

wishfulthinking1 · 28/06/2012 22:34

Haha- laughed out loud at ted giving herself one!
X

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 28/06/2012 23:05

winkle & yikes I know what you mean about not knowing when you actually oved. I got positive opks yesterday and today but it just doesn't feel right.

I am going to keep peeing on the opks and see if I get a second surge.

Also Grin at tinkling.

winkle2 · 28/06/2012 23:13

Grrr hubby too hot to dtd! Hope today wasn't OV day!

lollypopsicle · 28/06/2012 23:13

Yay ted :)

Vic my bezzy did the great north run the day after her bfp. Her DD is now a gorgeous 6wk old. You'll be fine.

fatas hope DH finds a solution to his work worries. Your train experience is one of my all time worst fears. In the old days, train loos were all poky and perfect for holding the door while peeing. I hate those fancy roomy loos!!!

I am happy to announce that I will not be having the sex tonight! I'm all shagged out! 3 dpo today. Trying so hard to ignore all the (obviously non-existent) symptoms. I WILL be chilled this month!! Hmm

tedmundo · 28/06/2012 23:20

I got the idea of tinkling from one of you guys, I forget who it was? They mentioned that a tinkle can squeeze the sperm into the cervix, apparently! kittykat it has to be AFTER DH has had his fun! So just have two!

For the record, DH refused to help me out (legs in the air against a wall, sooooo not in any way sexy) but agreed to leave the room. Christ, you guys know probably a bit too much about me now. Let's agree never to do a meet up :)

icequeen thanks hon. I intend to make a home in the preg after mc thread but only once I get to AF due date. I tested waaaay to early for comfort. Although I puked tonight so even if I had not tested last night I would have guessed by now.

sunshine, wunny, possum the beauty of Internet cheapies is the freedom to POAS anytime, anywhere, guilt free.

lollypopsicle · 29/06/2012 07:22

winkle it is not uncommon to get a second patch of ewcm about a week after ov as there is a second, smaller rise in oestrogen around that time. Perhaps that explains it?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 29/06/2012 07:25

Wow Ted puking already. I think you have a pretty strong bean there (but don't go to pregnancy yet we would miss you).

RIBS · 29/06/2012 08:10

Morning all. Wow Ted, that's some strong hormones. I always reckon the worse u feel uh stronger the little bean. I hope every1 is soon feeling like death warmed up.
Well went rowing last nite, I absolutely loved it. Despite going out in a thunderstorm and so much heavy rain they had 2 tip out the boat. Glad we didn't go out 2 sea this time cos wind got up n it got fairly choppy. Got back home soaked n dtd n winked, was 2 nackered 2 tinkle.

I had really gluey ewcm last nite, is it supposed 2b more wet than thick?
