Grumbles from me too this morning. Can not seem to switch back to our timezone so was wide awake (and at points, up eating chocolate brownies) until 3am. I look like a monster this morning and feel like death! If I could control time I would make it 5pm right now

[Thundercatsarego]

barking OUCH. You poor thing, that sounds so uncomfortable.

merk from my short experience of pg you'd better get used to nights being like that I'm afraid.

Hi lady

pip this is now getting really exciting!

tally your day in the woods sounds great too.

Just waiting to be added to FB so I can tell you all the stuff I won't put on here for fear of being outed.

not going to mention peeing on a digi opk as well as an ic opk this morning

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Thunder??? AF due tomorrow???

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Also if boom is busy I can add you to fb group now I think if you PM me your URL

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Morning ladies!

Apologies if you messaged me last night and I didn't add you, I fell asleep dribbling on the keyboard and got marched to bed by Mr Boom.

I think I've now added everyone who wanted except Foody because I can't find your profile! No pics matching your description come up under your name, so either I'm being thick or you've got your privacy settings so that I can't search for you :-)

I'm also being lazy delegating so you're all admins and can add people or not as you please (if I've forgotten to make you admin let me know)

Gosh it's tiring doing all this organising!

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Well done boom

[Thundercatsarego]

Well done indeed boom, thank you!

Yes merk. I'm on cd29 now which would normally be af day but my positive opk was a day later than normal so I expected this would be a 30 day cycle. Had to walk out of meeting to knickercheck earlier!

[sparechange]

Wow, seems like a busy weekend for everyone!
Merk well done on your great news! Gives me hope...

Hello everyone else.

My app has got Tues-Saturday this week down as possible fertile days, so I'm planning to test my bargain internet OPKs to see how inaccurate this app actually is... The instructions say mid-morning is the best time of day, so I've stashed them in a desk drawer. Feels very odd!

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Spare... Would suggest testing at least twice a day. For some people they only work on FMU, for others at different times of the day. Plus I assume you want to pinpoint your surge so multiple tests a day ensure you don't miss it. Also keep testing regularly after your first positive (until they go negative for a day to 2 days) to ensure you know the length of the surge (you can assume peak is somewhere near the middle) and keep shagging til they're negative! Good luck

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Thunder you've been peeing on sticks! ...Anything to report..??

Merk your night sounds ok to me, anything involving 4am chocolate brownies works nicely as far as I'm concerned!

Waiting for AF . Finished progesterone two days ago, WHERE IS SHE? I want my clomid!

It's a beautiful day here. I can see it from where I'm stuck inside, writing essay.

Right, back in about 1000 words!

[Foodylicious]

Keep going boom, you will get there!

[Thundercatsarego]

No af boom?? Shouldn't YOU be peeling on sticks??

They were both positive... But I know this means nothing. Fool for doing it!

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Boom????

[SidneyBristow]

Hey berries, I'm back from a weekend away and trying to catch up! OMG at Merksie's news!!!! SO excited for you!!!! It's about time someone graduated; this little waiting room of ours is getting a little crowded!

Sorry to those who are hosting AF, and for those who want her to hurry up and get to theirs, sorry she's taking so long! never at the right place at the right time, is she!

Hmm a secret FB club, did someone say? I'm paranoid as hell and have a dread of being outed, but I'm still intrigued. Would it show in a search or as a "liked" page or as group membership? I can well imagine an aunt/cousin asking my mom (who is not on FB) what an Elderberry Pavlova is, and then Mom googling and finding out all sorts of stuff she doesn't need to know! What's the scoop? Is there any way to link the Mumsnet group back to the secret FB page, or the FB page to its members? (paranoia is a curse, I tell ya)

CD18 here and still DTD daily. Temps are totally wonky due to irregular waking times, and the heat isn't helping either. CBFM still shows me as high, but OPK sticks have shown positive for several days now. I hardly know what to think so will just keep DTD and hope for the best. Had terrible lower back crampy pain last night but since I don't know what day I ov'd, I can't even symptom spot! Argh.

[SidneyBristow]

Whoa wait what? Thunder you've got a pos on a pg test?? Why don't you believe them? I feel totally out of the loop

boom start POAS, lady...

Starting to get a little fearful of being left on my own by the time I get back from our holiday at the end of the month...

[Thundercatsarego]

Hey sid! Good to see you!

As far as I understand nothing shows up about joining the group on your page or anything.

And no, not pregnancy tests! Opks. That's why I don't believe that it means anything....

[Bunnygirlie]

So who else is in my awaiting AF to arrive gang?!? boom? and Thunder?

Third day of tummyaches today, getting a little fed up now!

[IamKuma]

sid it looks like its completely private. I did that 'view your profile as somebody else' thing and nothing was showing. We've had our small world moment already as Gillster and I were on the same course at uni; so chances of another connection seem low!

[Thundercatsarego]

Since joining the FB group this morning, I have now had to go out at lunchtime and buy a phone charger...!

[Boomgoestheweasel]

As you were ladies - BFN! I am pinning all my hopes on thunder...

Sid it's private - can't be searched for and nobody except members can see it or see who's in it. And just in case I've put nothing about what it's for in the title - just called it the Elderberry Pavlovas. There's no link to MN from it at all. So it should be safe!

[Thundercatsarego]

I reckon we should have named it like some bizarre interest group. Like the true ladies' society for elocution and rifle sports....

Arse boom, sorry about bfn. It ain't over til she shows tho.

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Ah, it was never going to be anything but a no. Technically I probably haven't even ovulated, AF is only due because I took progesterone mid-cycle. Only checked because I got told to before I start the clomid and I wasn't secretly hoping for an ironidiff, no no no

[Thundercatsarego]

Phhhbbb it's pants isn't it. But onwards and upwards with sweeties from now?

For those not on FB there seem to be two lines on this ere hpt....

[SidneyBristow]

Oh boom sorry to push you into it, I feel bad now! At least you can get on with popping your sweeties now, right?

So if a person is invited to the group and joins, their friends can't see in their feed or on a timeline that "xxx has joined Elderberry Pavlovas group"? If that's right then who do I PM to join?

Hot here, gorgeous day, why am I inside???

[SidneyBristow]

WHATTTTTTTT!

Thunder OMG OMG OMG!
If 2 people get BFPs while I'm away for 3 days, imagine what could happen when I go away next week for 7!!

Ok Thunder & Merks, I need to know what you guys did this month to get your win. What was your timing/frequency like, did you use anything special, did you stand on your head after, etc. If this has been discussed on FB then I can wait to find out but seriously I have no shame and the fact that I was the only childless person at the party of 50+ guests last weekend is making me crazy. Spill the beans, help a sister out!!!
