The Elderberry & Sausage Pavlovas in 'Battle Royale 3: Shag Tiara Death Match' - the search for the immaculate conception!

[Bunnygirlie]

Entrant criteria: TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, OPK & EWCM obsession, NO instadiffers. (Thread 6)

Yep tallyra I sure am glad I have given up bookface for lent! I really don't wanna see what my people's little darlings have made/ bought them!

Happy please send some high temps over here. Another dismal 36.17 this morning (coverline temp).

Penny lots of CM may or may not be a symptom. If it's CM at ovulation time it should be EWCM (ignore the amount, is it stretchy?) If you ovulated when you thought you did there are people who say they had lots of CM around implantation so could be that optimistic. How are you calculating without ovulation. If you are not doing so already please start temping and using OPK's so you get a proper view of what your cycle is doing.

Pip well done you!

Anyone here had thyroid issues? Am off to google but would like some proper advice...

Am I alone in feeling like I'm Bea operating the steam press when new girls turn up?
Am I alone in getting the reference?

Er... ¿?

3 times in 12 hours?!? pipkin we're lucky if we managed 3 times in 12 days!!! Take my tiara and wear it with pride lady!

OMG boys are soooooo stooooopid! Joined DH in shower this morning to see if we could get things going, he starts to fiddle with me and wipes all the very expensive concieve plus off so nowt can happen! Aaaaaaaaaagh

Wow well done pip! I get the reference!

:( feeling a bit awkward in the corner over here...( not understanding pipbins comment and hoping its not a bad thing...)

Haha Merkin I googled it too! Think I get it now!

Ooh, a shiny new thread! Although it could do with a bit of a spruce up.

I don't get it either!

Soooo just rang my mum to wish her happy mother's day, she replied "one day I might be saying that to you!"
Aaaaaarrrrrgggghh, I'm doing my sodding best! Kind of.

Pip strongly agree re DPs 15-year-old selves. It's ridiculous how the tables turn once they feel like there's an obligation.

Hello Sonics!
This site is handy re all kinds of OPK sticks and their interpretation:
www.peeonastick.com

Thanks for the welcome and hello everybody

I have no idea what pip is talking about either!

Ooh I'll check out that website powder thanks. I just feel like I've stressed so much squinting at lines on a stick that £20 is worth it for a clear cut result.

Although next month DH and I have said that we might scrap the charting and the opks and just try having regular sex. That's what we did the month I got pg last year. I go on and off with it. Sometimes I want to go all out charting and then get sick of it all and just give up for a bit.

sonics when you say your temps are all over the place how bad are they? Can you link to your chart? are you taking your temp at the exact same time every day before you get up/wake up?
The only reasons I would say to continue temping and OPKs is that it gives you ammunition with your doc later down the line to prove you are or are not ovulating. And the facts show that women who pinpoint O through OPks and temps have much higher success rates on getting pregnant I'm afraid.

sonics sorry multiple posts but have to keep going back and reading your original post as on my phone. Lots of people don't get noticeable EWCM (me included). Lots of berries will be able to advise on multiple things you can take/do to hopefully increase CM if you ask. In the meantime get some preseed (use very very very sparingly) and remember OH does not need to know (mine doesn't)

haycorn can you come and spruce up my house while you're on??
Can someone explain the blardy reference to me before I have a strop [sulky]

How do I link to my chart?

I started taking evening primrose oil this month but only about 2 days before I got a positive opk so then I stopped. I'll carry on with that next month. Any other tips?

Is pre-seed different to conceive plus?

Sorry I've just realised that I've posted on another thread about using conceive plus but not on this one so you wouldn't know we've been doing that already!

Sonic I agree that the smiley face on the digi OPKs is far more reassuring than constantly trying to work out if the bloody test line is " as dark or darker" than the control line, especially if like me you get a fade in fade out result over a couple of days. As Merkin said tho I wouldn't use them long term as they are a rip off! In fact I've given up on the OPKs altogether as I'm pretty regular so just rely on temping plus OV pains. Think I got my digis from eBay. About £9 for 7.

Had to google it myself Merkin: Http:en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_characters_?_inmates

I'm hoping this is what Pip was referring to, otherwise I may have accused her of being a psychopathic convict for no good reason, in which case she will definitely be after me with the steam press!

sonics if you bring up your chart and right click on it you can select copy image URL and paste that here as a link (if you're on your phone when pasting links put double square brackets at either side of it). Conceive plus an pre seed are the same thing I believe

Where are the pee stick people?

I have procrastinated all morning so am now off to complete a mountain of cleaning, washing and ironing. I will not be distracted

I have decided I am not going to POAS anymore, I am going to PIMP (pee in my pot) which is a much better acronym IMO

On my phone I only saw the first half of your post merkin and under your name it read I have decided I am not going to POAS anymore. I almost fell off my chair!! My POAS mentor can't be going against everything she taught me!!!
But then I clicked on the thread and saw the rest of your post and normality is resumed. And I love the PIMP. Given my difficulties mastering the PIMP and mistakenly thinking that I could continue POAS when I converted to the cheap sticks, I wholeheartedly support this new acronym.
