Hi resipsa, yes, it was Dylan's. It was so sad. The priest was lovely though. He had to wipe away a tear at the crem too :-( Bloody TV cameras everywhere at the church.

And I like the idea of a new Defence...it'll be an extension to provocation (which changed between being taught about it and the exam, and we were told we needed to know the new law for it!).

Sorry to hear that nic Sad
Funerals for young people are always heart breaking x

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 05/09/2012 00:07

Having never basted anything in my life, I don't have a convenient turkey vaster ganging around, but I was eyeing one of the sterile syringes you occasionally get with kids medicines instead of spoons the other day. Grin

Talking about ewcm, I once heard that using expectorant cough syrup a few hours before before dtd can also thin your cm, so possibly helping the sperm to get where they need to be. There are probably 100 threads on this and it's probably bollocks for all I know but I doubt it'd do any harm, I've got some in the cupboard actually...

Sorry to hear about headaches and funerals and general frustration, hope your week gets better, all of you x

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 05/09/2012 00:08

Really must learn to proof read...

kittykatskumkwat · 05/09/2012 07:16

Grin at my correct use of the work furtle, it just seemed right and GrinGrin at lobsters like sperm, I actually did lol
I must admit i was thinking on the lines of kids medicine stringes aswell, i dont know why im discussing it like a real possibility when i promised dh i was more relaxed about it this month Blush

Sorry For you Nic, that must have been so so hard and sad

fatasbutter · 05/09/2012 07:19

Hooray - manage to dtd last night. All is forgiven, DH, for this month at least!
Bit knackered this morn tho! Cannot be arsed to go to work!! Wink

NickiNockiNoodle · 05/09/2012 07:25

Well done fatas :-) I didn't even contemplate it last night as I was totally exhausted.

Thank you for all your kind words. Just read about the funeral in Metro and even though it is a short piece, it is still slightly factually incorrect. I wish they would check what they publish. Idiots.

resipsa · 05/09/2012 07:26

Ah Nic too sad for words. And the bloody press; I know they have a job to do and it counts as "news" but you have to wonder why they never seem to ask themselves how they'd feel if on the other side of the camera.
So, career fame beckons for me and Nic but we do need one or more of you to stab uncooperative DHs. Anyone still sufficiently pissed off with theirs? Mine being unusually compliant and asked yesterday when we'd "find out" this month. Worried he's turning into a woman Confused.

Me I am Angry
I know he's going to pull the tired card tonight aswell as he has had to have dd today and didn't get in till after 3, she woke him up before 7 but I did mention this when he said he was tired yesterday!!
Res got good vibes for you, will you cave early?
Maybe dh can sence something about the new act? We're you gripping a knife abit too tightly when he came home yesterday?? Wink
Fatas I am Envy but glad for you

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 05/09/2012 08:12

nic the funeral sounded difficult. Hope you and your family are ok.

resipsa progesterone test is booked for this Friday but still no positive opk. Have decided to have bloods taken if no positive opk by Friday if I get a positive I will rebook it.

Too pissed off with my body / ic ov kits to be angry at dh. We don't have lots of sex but he has proved his sperm are working perfectly.

swimmingnotdrowning · 05/09/2012 11:00

Thinking of you nic although I'm not sure what to say as I don't there are any adequate words.

And hi to tea and thunder - nice to see new faces and with such excellent names!

NickiNockiNoodle · 05/09/2012 12:33

Thank you all, again, it is really nice of everyone.

And I'm up for making my name in criminal defence...it can't be that hard to do, ha ha!

weechops · 05/09/2012 13:44

nic thoughts are with you.

I'm firmly planted in the COD for the forseeable future

I'm usualy really upbeat and optimistic with things, but I'll be honest, the thought of not even being able to try and get upduffed for the next few months is unbearable. DH says not to worry, we will get there and yes, i know most likely we will, but I'm still sad.

I may be more of a lurker for a while girls but I'll still be checking up on you :)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 05/09/2012 14:25

weechops hello I think I might join you in the COD. I am on cd 21 and my body is refusing to ovulate (or at least provide a positive opk this month). I am testing with the damn things 3 times a day but no +.

Is your dh away for the next few months? Sorry you are feeling crap.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 05/09/2012 18:12

Nic lots of love on such a horrible thing to go through.
Wee and when I'm also feeling pretty shite at the moment I'm afraid. Cd 15 and not a drop of cm. opk neg. if I'm expecting to ov on sun when should I have cm?
It's my first time with epo so not sure that's having an impact?
I go on hols with my mate on wed so need to ov before then!!!!

NickiNockiNoodle · 05/09/2012 18:19

Hold tight Lol...I had no CM to speak of pre-surge / OV, and my surge happened on Sunday.

As did OV, just before midnight! Has anybody else actually felt eggy exploding from the ovary? It was odd, to say the least.

I now have abundant (grimly so) creamy CM. Most odd.

I'm sure you'll get there. I think EWCM appears from around 5 days prior, but it isn't a given and people without noticeable EWCM still get up duffed.

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. x

fatasbutter · 05/09/2012 18:21

How strange nic - what did it feel like?!

NickiNockiNoodle · 05/09/2012 18:24

Like a popping / snapping sensation. Like an elastic band snapping against the skin. Weird. No wonder I was in agony all day Sat....think I had a monster one developing.

Thundercatsarego · 05/09/2012 18:34

nic that is really strange! Can ov also feel a bit af crampy, does anyone know? Not sure if something's happening or it's the copious amount of cake I ate today.

Sorry for all the people feeling blrgggg today, I'm learning this is a tough old process. Speaking for myself sometimes a good grump and a lot of chocolate is the best solution when things are rough.

FrustratedSycamorePants · 05/09/2012 18:42

Hi nickinocki snap! creamy abundant cm, and popped today. Or I think I did. You've got the discription right, but I've never been able to describe it. confusingly I'm 4 days earlier than expected how's that for not counting days. Grr at self. Can't not count days when you feel the pop--

fatasbutter · 05/09/2012 18:48

Ha frustrated I was trying not to count days too! Trying to do the whole 'as soon as I stopped trying...' thing - failed miserably tho! Blush

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 05/09/2012 18:48

I've never felt the egg pop before. I am wondering if I am having pre ov pains.

Lower back is a bit achy. Opks could not look any more negative if they tried though.

Ooo forgot to say I have an appointment booked for my ultrasound, Thursday next week, thought I would have to wait months son quite pleased it is so quick.

FrustratedSycamorePants · 05/09/2012 19:00

nickinocki I think you feel the pain a day or 2 before EWCM. I'm fx-ing for EWCM this month

I'm not sure there's such a thing as low key anymore fatas finding it hard as I have a predictable 4 wk cycle yeah cause if it was that predictable I'd be upduffed already

NickiNockiNoodle · 05/09/2012 19:08

Oh, that's good that you've felt it too, frustrated! :-)

And yes, OV can be crampy, stabbing pain and all sorts. I have the full gamut as I'm lucky like that!

It just varies between people. And some never have it.

Thundercatsarego · 05/09/2012 19:11

Hmm think it's time to coerce seduce OH again then for me. Don't think we're going to get anywhere fast at this rate but I'm learning a lot!
