Woo hoo for barking's letter & fx still for merkin's PIMPing. First attempt at OPK today but as expected its a neg at CD8. No need to start shag week just yet then!

Frogcatcher · 13/03/2013 22:47

Just realised DP interrupted my posting & I ignored all the EWCM discussion! I will be keeping an eye out this month!

ILoveMyCats · 13/03/2013 22:54

Hmmm. I get a lot of clear cm on the paper too, but it's never overly stretchy. Also get it in my pants, but in a line rather than a circle, as pictured in tcoyf.

Tallyra · 13/03/2013 22:54

I get it for a couple of days, and it's usually really annoying to get rid of when I go to the loo. Am I not supposed to?

ILoveMyCats · 13/03/2013 22:56

Dunno tally. Once it's out, it's out, though, surely?

Boodleandherpotofwonderfulness · 13/03/2013 22:57

I don't really know, Tally, but I figured if the idea of it is to help the little swimmers, I don't want it all falling out in the loo!I haven't stooped to trying to 'keep' it in place though; when you've got to wipe, you've got to wipe!

Tallyra · 13/03/2013 22:57

that's what I would have said

ConnieLingers · 13/03/2013 23:10

Just to let you know I've reverted back to an old nickname (was raining). Nanight, berries!

Tallyra · 13/03/2013 23:13

nice name! nighty night from me too.

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 06:52

Morning Berries! I had a good half asleep juggling session with the thermometer this morning... fell asleep with it in the first time, work up when it fell out my mouth. Second attempt forgot to turn it out, fell asleep. Woke up a while later, managed to get a temp. Turned it off when it beeped without looking. Then woke up when the beeps went off again (i hadn't turned it off) and it was busy getting the temperature of the floor by my bed (therefore erasing my actual temp from memory). I gave it up as a bad job and took it properly 3/4 hour an later. Weirdly FF has given me an open circle tho even though it was late!

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 06:55

Morning all. Sorry to post curt questions and run last night, I was out pretending to be socialising.

Grin at the naked sausage shuffle and merk taking the floor's temp.

How is the temp today, merkin?

(never thought I'd actually ask that but have learnt a lot here)

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 07:03

Still high (not sky high like yesterday tho Hmm) 36.46 vs coverline 36.18.
Berries I promise today I will not hog the thread with my pee sticks (at least after the fmu ones) and I shall tidy up the list and catch up on everyone else's woes!

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 07:05

...am currently holding FMU until DH leaves and I am desperate!!!

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 07:09

Remind me when af is due, merkin? Is high temp normal or good news at this point?

don't think about running taps or streams

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 07:22

AF due tue so a measly 8dpo today. High is good post O, a drop to coverline will likely indicate AF heading in

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 07:30

All good then, we just need it to stay high!

I'm approx 7dpo. Af due on Fri or thereabouts. Reckon I'm out this month and probably for the next few though since finding out about this hypothyroidism last week as my levels are all over the place at the mo. Sad

happylass · 14/03/2013 07:33

I think I might have 2 lines

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 07:58

WHATTTT?!!!!!! Oooooo!!!

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 08:03

Crapping my pants to put it eloquently. I pimped and dipped an OPK and a HPT. Barely there line on the OPK (less dark than yesterday but darler than last night, not a squinter though). Shadow on the HPT. Decided I was being a dick (but still had pot of pee in bathroom). Dipped a first response (non digi) despite knowing they are not anywhere near as sensitive as my internet cheapy HPT's and nada. Took first response to bits and stared at it a bit. Decided to dip one more HPT (cheapy) as i know they can vary in dye and I have a v light second line. Trying to get a pic now. Don't quite believe it

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 08:09

here
Never realised how hard it is to get a picture of a freaking line. It's wider than it looks on here and more pink

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 08:14

Where are all the berries??? I need hand holding and opinions. I am having a bit of a panic (understatement) Shock

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 08:15

I can see a line in the pic Grin
