Love the fact we all went for the big poo option. Us berries are a classy bunch
frog 1. Why did nobody tell me I might O late this month?? FFS strips off PJs and swaps for nice knickers 2. I have never felt anything like the twinges I had last month. Across multiple cycles I have had strong sense of smell, nausea, back ache, funny taste bla bla bla and nothing. However my stomach twinges/pains/feelings (no good word to describe) were obvious and odd and resulted in my first bfp. So crossing fingers for you. And in summary, its NEVER over until the bitch turns up. I am tuned in for pimping results....

Thundercatsarego · 08/04/2013 22:22

Yes frog! Start us off! When are you pimping next?

No barking I'm not at all Envy of those things- that sucks! AND adds insult to injury too! But if someone blocks you because of not being enthusiastic enough then sod them. Idiot.

bunny are you cycle buddy still too?

thunder not sure, CD15 here and app says ov day but no signs (as usual) and OPKs not showing anything either hmmmph! Only DTD once in fertile window (yesterday) so don't think I'm going to have to worry about baby Ivy or Noel Wink

Can I ask a TMI question? When you are spotting do any of you then have a 'rummage' to see how much?? (Sorry). spotting would have just been when I wiped this afternoon but a couple of more thorough checks have suggested its more like a very very light period.
Suspect I'm the only weirdo but just wondered how odd I am...

Frogcatcher · 08/04/2013 22:41

Right I'm now carrying team berry into the charge - hope I've not just set us all up for massive collective disappointment. Have got some ICs on express order!
Loving the names bunny I was teasing DP about xmassy names at weekend - twins called holly & robin anyone? Grin

Thundercatsarego · 08/04/2013 22:46

bunny you know you've totally jinxed yourself now- baby Noel comin up!

merk I'm not much of a furtler myself, but haven't been much of a spotter either and wouldn't draw the line at Anything I have read about spotting at ov time though- done folk just get it. Altho this is a bit late for ov you suspect?

frog when do they arrive?!

happylass · 08/04/2013 22:53

Bunny I've tried the Robitussin for EWCM and it worked by making it more like egg white as (TMI alert) I felt it was too thick and 'blobby'. However it obviously didn't work in terms of me getting upduffed Confused Maybe I need to persevere but not keen on taking medicines that I don't really need.
Yes have a secret pimp tomorrow Frog. I may join you in a show of solidarity even though its too early and I haven't had a single bloody symptom

barkingtreefrog · 08/04/2013 22:58

You're not alone in the rummaging merk....

Frogcatcher · 08/04/2013 23:25

I rummaged when I got the pink CM Blush as I wanted to see if it was AF's advance advance party

Frogcatcher · 08/04/2013 23:29

Oh & don't think the ICs will arrive till tmrw pm at earliest so may not pimp till weds am. Anyone feel free to join me - more chances in a syndicate!

Tallyra · 08/04/2013 23:31

frog there are just too many symptoms to ignoreShock . It sounds like of course you are definitely duffed and will not need us in a week or twoEnvy . You just have to try and hide those ics from dh. is that going to be difficult? Fingers crossed for you!!

Pipbin · 08/04/2013 23:47

I shall be up at 6am for a run, followed by a big poo, and I shan't eat or drink anything after breakfast. The stupid lengths we go to.

How many DPO are you Frog?

PuppyMummy · 09/04/2013 07:27

Good luck Pip with your appointment today.
and fingers crossed frog for tomorrow.

I'm currently on holiday in Cyprus with OH and his mum and dad. luckily we went on cd19 so dtd on that morning and don't really need to bother again, cos we r in the worlds NOISIEST bed ever!!!

barkingtreefrog · 09/04/2013 07:50

Good luck today pip.

Keep us updated frog!

cd23 here and no sign of Ov. Not that we've managed to dtd more than once this month with the camping holiday followed by far too much alcohol at the wedding for him to perform, followed by his hangover followed by me being with my mate and him visiting his mum.... First cycle in 16 I've just lost interest and not been demanding it despite circumstances just because it's shag week. Sad We spent 4 weeks in a campervan last summer and that didn't stop me. I've got myself convinced it's not going to happen until someone helps lengthen my LP so dtd is just pointless Sad . Still, we did dtd on Friday so if temp goes up tomorrow we do have one chance in there. And if temp doesn't go up I'll see DP tomorrow so could put another in the bank.....

CatsCantFlyFast · 09/04/2013 08:12

Snigger at the references to furtling and rummaging! Good luck Pip, keep us posted

BombasticPeanut · 09/04/2013 08:17

Morning all

Hope your appt goes well pip.

frog your deductive powers are awesome. I feel you definitely deserve to be pg just for the effort that went into your analysis. Plus your evidence base is mega, you must be diffed Grin Keep us updated!

barking you and me both, although my issue isn't a short LP but total lack of ov as far as I can tell. Today is..er..cd46 and this is usually where I abandon all hope in the cycle, cos if it ain't happened by now the egg will have gone all green and rotten anyway! Keeping fingers crossed I'll get a consultant appt soon re my dodgy testosterone..

merk I'm a rummager! No shame Grin

Stood on the scales for the first time in a while, have put on 2st since mc. BOO. DH is trying to convince me this might be because came off the implant and now PCOS is affecting my insulin levels but in reality it's because I am comfort eating my way to the size of an infertile mammoth. Detox beginning today, have had veggie juice for breakfast! Plus I'm going for acupuncture this morning to poke the old ovaries into cooperation. Feeling all Zen Smile

thunder and frog ref Christmas names, as I have one myself I would never do that to a child lol! And I wasn't even born in the festive period, end jan surely doesn't count!

TMI alert merk I have wondered the same about cm, if it's not obvious do you go looking for it Blush

Bajas · 09/04/2013 08:23

pip good luck today. Hope all goes how you want it to.

Thundercatsarego · 09/04/2013 08:25

bunny are you called jinglebell?

peanut I have put on weight since mc too- wtf is that all about? Just another slap in the face?! Should now change name to thunderthighsareloose

Tallyra · 09/04/2013 08:35

Me too, what is it about miscarriages? I was a size 10 4 years ago when I had my first one, now I'm verging in a size 16 in some shops!

Frogcatcher · 09/04/2013 09:26

Sorry to disappoint everyone but I won't be starting the BFP goldrush after all - AF had arrived this morning when I got back from pilates. I thought she must be on her way when my temp dropped so low that not even my made-up low coverline could maintain that I was still above it & I had some familiar cramps when I got up. I must have either just O'd late around CD21 (if at all) as I suspected or it was another CP.

I actually feel ok about it as got all my feelings of disappointment out of the way on Sunday when I got the BFN. I'm actually just glad to see the witch & know she hasn't deserted me altogether for no reason. Onwards & upwards to less crazy temps this month. FX anyway!

Frogcatcher · 09/04/2013 09:28

Anyway I reckon Bunny is actually called Santa...

CharmingCats · 09/04/2013 09:59

Oh, frog, that's shit. Sorry for you. I got really excited for you and was going to join you pimping for the cbfm tomorrow morning.

Good luck for today, pip. Let us know how it goes.

I've got the dildocam today. Had bikini line waxed this morning and am hoping for a big poo so that there's no trapped wind, as I've read on here that it can prevent them seeing stuff with the probe.

One cat is hiding from the other behind the living room door. She came in as the other one was chasing her and wanted my support. Now she has peeped out and seen the other one and has gone back behind the door. I may need to intervene.

ticktock1979 · 09/04/2013 10:32

Hello Berrys. I've been lurking since yesterday just to be sure that I fulfill the criteria.
I am 34 DH is 36 & around the 5th month if TTC.
I spent Sunday in my onesie with my 5 cats catching up with the bbc3 programmes on babies
SiL is due end of May & many pg folk at work are not helping in my efforts to not get obsessed with baby making.
Well, this is me...do I qualify? Smile

barkingtreefrog · 09/04/2013 11:22

You mentioned Agatha Christie tick so you're in in my book Smile .

So sorry frog thought it really could be you Sad .
