We aren't terrible, we are helpful friends!

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 08/10/2012 19:18

We're "encouraging" friends!!! Grin

I've been craving brazil nuts, and then today I sat with a jar of nutella and ate brazil nuts dipped in nutella!! Probably not the best conception diet in the world, but it tasted amazing!!! Smile

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 19:20

I don't need much encouragement...I think it would be nice to know to be able to tell Bri on the day of the wedding if it is a BFP.

Wow. Just spent the last 30 minutes (when I should have been making dinner for poor DH who is at rugby training) catching up. Have abandoned my guerrilla shagging tactics this month and am being quite upfront with DH about when we need to DtD - last month I was still trying to at least appear casual about it all. Seriously considering the OPKs - I like sciencey things.

Fx for everyone trying not to think about POAS

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 20:57

Raspberry that sounds delicious :-)

woody17 · 08/10/2012 21:05

Hmm I'm still symptom spotting, even though I told myself that I wasn't going to do this! Getting really mild cramping in my lower abdomen and my boobs feel weird - it's almost like they're tingling. And I still feel really nauseous.

raspberries nutella and brazil nuts sounds amazing!

HannahJayne i've just starting using the OPKs properly this month but I really like them!

HannahJayne · 08/10/2012 21:29

Woody do you find them easy to use? Not sure about the fertility monitor as this is only cycle two so I might get some use out of it (positive thinking right there!)

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 21:32

Hannah don't get the monitor, go for the Cb OpKs first! I got both and wasted my money with the monitor as I brought it too quickly.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 21:32

I'm using cheap opk too. Still negative today at cd15 but literally a bucket load of cm. mmmmm

woody17 · 08/10/2012 21:35

Yes I really like them - I've started using the CB digital ones. You can use FMU which I find more convenient. And there's no difficulty trying to interpret lines, you just look for the smiley!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 21:43

Yeah I will use them next month too if not pg this month. But I want to finish my cheap ones first.

Thundercatsarego · 08/10/2012 22:06

literally a bucket, lol? Eugh...

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 22:19

Lol thunder Blush
Quite a lot. Epo seams magic!

HannahJayne · 08/10/2012 23:00

Thanks - will try the OPKs for a couple of months and stock up on the CB ones if they're still on offer at Boots.

And, oh wow. A bucket?!!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 23:01

Urgghh...delightful chat this evening while I've been clearing my work emails and doing wedding stuff!

My CM was like that post-OV last month, Lol. Disconcerting is the best way to describe it!

OP posts:
Lolcbcblemonlime · 09/10/2012 00:10

Apologies for bucket description. Still neg opk though. How is it possible? DH out tonight so not sure will manage a shag. Annoyed by that.
Feel pain on left side which could well be ov.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 09/10/2012 06:31

Shag before he goes out? That's what we do! :-)

Decided I'm not pregnant today. :-/

Morning all

How are you all doing today?

Last day in work today nic! How lovely :) What makes you say that you don't feel pg ? What have you got planed in the days leading up to Sat?

letskiwithisthing · 09/10/2012 07:11

planned not planed Grin

Maclairey · 09/10/2012 07:20

Nic Nic pee on a stick!!!!

Sorry just thought I would get involved!!

Hope you have a lovely wedding in Saturday. Really hope you have some good news for your OH!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 09/10/2012 07:22

My boobs aren't as bad and there isn't much cramping now. Still got a sharp right sided pain on and off, but that's it. Only 9 DPO though. Think I also need to talk myself down as it would be further to fall this month.

Tomorrow I'm sorting the background music for the wedding breakfast and doing a list of what is happening Friday and Saturday and who is doing it.

Thursday is hair dying / cutting and nails in the morning. Then I'm tidying the flat so it's nice for when we get back to it. Mid afternoon is suit and dress collection, half packing the car and bag packing.

Friday, drive home, distribute suits, have rehearsal and relax in the evening.

Then that's it til the big day :-)

OP posts:
kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 09/10/2012 07:26

And I kind of did POAS this morning...waste of a stick at 9dpo though, I suppose!

And thank you, Maclairey. :-) Keeping fingers firmly crossed.
