Hi all. Sorry i've been absent recently. Very busy with work etc.

Congrats Dulcet. How exciting!

Nicola - still haven't replied? Have you cut them yet?

Hi to all the newbies.

LoveinNY got me thinking where in the world is everybody? I'm in the West Midlands.

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 14:45

Hi Mum! Are you OK?

They're cut from the day, I've bumped people up. Just waiting for one couple to respond to the bumping, but sure they'll come as her parents are, and I went to their full wedding too. And she's confirmed the night invite!

If they respond before 24th August they can still come to the wedding / evening. But the day invite has gone!

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 14:46

Nicola I can say that I'm 95% sure I ovulated yesterday (or today). The CBFM said I did, the rise in my temps said I did, the chart from my fertility friend app said I did and my body deffinately told me that I did :) If my temps go down tomorrow then that will be 100% sure that I did. We DTD last night. Took 3 attempts because DH was so tired from work but we got there in the end. I don't know if he will have any energy tonight but I'm sure we will try.

Anyone watching the cycling race? So exciting!

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 14:50

Now we match!!

We DTD yesterday morning, so may try to have make up sex tonight, just to be on the safe side.

Yeah, we are watching...the commentators are annoying me a bit though!

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 15:05

Exciting race though! I waved my flag in London yesterday for the mans race. Not as exciting as the ladies today.

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 15:07

No, the ladies' race is closer, definitely.

Thankfully the camera work isn't making me as motion sick today too!

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 15:54

Yay we won silver! Nicola I don't have cramping today, more like a weird sort of stitch feeling, maybe it's a bit like tugging, it's weird whatever it is :)

That is no fun nicola, sound like a group you don't want to be involved with anyway. If only H2B could be more understanding. Surely he can ask them if they are coming? It's not a hard question! At least once you are up duffed you can join some local groups and make some nicer friends!

Sounds like you two will be testing buddies next month then...!

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 16:08

I was shouting at the TV...like she didn't know to pedal!!

Mine is a tugging feeling too. How odd we've now synchronised our actions :-)

No, Dulcet, I have no intention of spending time with them, to be honest. Awful people.

Popinda · 29/07/2012 17:48

Hello ladies, haven't been here for a while. What have I missed? Any bfp's?

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 17:58

Don't think so...we seem to have had a slight drought! :-/

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 17:59

How are you Pop? When is your first scan?

LisaC2611 · 29/07/2012 18:28

Hi all, hope everyone's ok.

Sorry to hear about the wedding issues nicola and the problems with h2b's friends, they don't sound particularly pleasant.

I'm feeling a bit p'd off today, got my smiley face on the cb ov predictor, but my hubby is rejecting all my advances Sad if he keeps it up I'm going to have to tell him that I got the smiley and tell him he's got to perform, but was trying to avoid putting that pressure on him. Bloody men!

NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 18:36

Hi Lisa...our men appear to be shit at performing when necessary :-/

I'm like you and don't push too hard as I don't want rebellion and performance anxiety! Do you think telling him will work, or make him dig his heels in more?

I've discovered that men only want sex all the time when it isn't vital to have sex. As soon as there's a purpose, that goes our the window.

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 18:43

Hi Pop how's things with you? It's very quiet here BFP wise. However, I feel positive that we will all have a busier August :)

RE: mans performance. I've always been upfront with DH about smiley faces. At first it caused anxiety because he didn't understand what was going on but now that he's grasped it he's really supportive and trying really hard. Sharing smiley faces with my man seems to have paid off (but does require patience at first).

Horrah I'm back on the list with Nicola Grin

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 18:54

Yay! I don't know whether to test then or the Monday though.

I'm due AF on Sat if another 26 day cycle, but Monday if 28. Hmmm!

And I'm seeing my mum that night, so think it would be best not to know in a way. Due to her recent breakdown, I wouldn't tell her til 12 weeks as I think it would be better that way.

MumOfTwoCats · 29/07/2012 19:29

Hi Lisa. Apoears my manshape is out for today. Stag do hangover. Ahhh. DTD tuesday, Thurs and Fri. So tomorrow morning or evening shouldn`t be too bad. CD17/30

Newbie2 · 29/07/2012 20:04

Nicola no way will I last until 13th lol... But wish I could because the longer you wait the better!

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 29/07/2012 20:09

I'll see if I can! As I've had a stick free month I'll definitely have withdrawal symptoms by then. :-)

woody17 · 29/07/2012 22:20

Hi everyone I think I might be ov (but not sure if I can be - so confused) so think I'll be testing in about 2 weeks time. I think this might be wishful thinking though...

NicolaHazel · 30/07/2012 07:00

Morning all!

No make up DTD last night as we were both too tired. :-/ So, the pressure is on Saturday's efforts to do the job! As I OV'd Sat or Sun though, we've got to be in with a shot, I'd have thought. Wonder if it is worth trying to tempt him tonight?!

Do you feel like you're ovulating, Woody? I can tell when I am, without doubt!

LisaC2611 · 30/07/2012 07:28

Morning all

Hubby realised I had the hump because he wouldn't dtd so he made up for it just before we went to bed Grin let's hope one of his swimmers will make it this time, don't think we could do any more although I did tell him after dtd that it was the right time and that he may just have to put in a performance tonight Wink

nicola I can also tell when I'm ov'ing, for me it's pretty obvious, and I noticed yesterday that there was loads of ewcm, I haven't noticed it before

NicolaHazel · 30/07/2012 07:34

I'm not sure about EWCM, Lisa...it is the pain that I can't miss!

And this month I've been exceptionally hormonal too. :-/

Think I may still attempt to DTD tonight, just in case!
