NO!! He's in fecking Belgium! Managed a quicky yesterday before he went. He's back tomorrow, so I'll pounce!!

NewlymrsB · 26/03/2014 09:25

Haha love it Englishgirl lol

Hey MrsE Sorry I missed your question re EPO. Basically no I don't rate it. I cramped a lot before O and I didn't notice any significant increase in EWCM plus I am sure it delayed my ovulation by 4 days! I use preseed anyway so I'm not sure taking anything to increase CM is worth it if it might have a negative effect.

But then that may be me - I also found green tea completely dried me up!

waves pom poms<

Gimme a B
Gimme an F

Come on penis dragons. Give us some mor BFPs before the end of he month!

Here's an extra penis dragon addition to bring you ladies some luck...

(only just noticed the piercing in the end of his willy...gives a new meaning to the mention of the 'eye' LOL. Also - I wonder which hurt most - the tattoo or the piercing? Hmm...)

lindamagoo · 26/03/2014 10:51

Oh Spotti that had to hurt, lol

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 10:53

Thanks surrey, I think I'm going to lay off to epo then as ewcm has definitely decreased this month.

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 11:05

Do you think he has to keep his balls permenantly shaved?

Hazelbrowneyes · 26/03/2014 12:05

Still here. No symptoms to report yet but usually get cramps around 7dpo so expecting them to arrive soon.

Not feeling like this will be our month.

I'm confused over when I ovulated. Positive OPK on 20th and 21st so did I ovulate on 20th,21st or 22nd?!

Trying not to think too much about it all at the moment. Currently sat outside on my room balcony, in the warm sunshine, drinking tea and watching surfers play in the waves. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday! Going to wander up the beach for lunch soon. I need to move here, I've never been so relaxed!

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 12:11

Where are you Hazel? Abroad?

No idea about the ovulation question I'm afraid! I barely know if I even ovulated at all so I'm not the person for advice.

AF not appeared yet but I'm already making my plans for heavy drinking at the weekend!

Just popping in to say congrats Emily. Wishing the rest of you all the luck for the last few days of March, I'm sure this bus still has a few bfps in it. Pom poms are waving you all on from here.

Kate, hope AF stays away and you can't go boozing at the weekend Grin

And Hazel wherever you are sounds amazing - I want to be there too!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/03/2014 12:30

Spotti... that pic has made my day!! Very imaginative!

I started using epo about 5 days ago and I think its already mad a difference. I suppose everyone is different.

Regarding the opk question Hazel, I'd guess that it was probably 21st. Most people ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive. The fact you still had a positive on 20th would make me think 21st is most likely. Btw - sounds like your in heaven!!

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 12:39

Aargh so don't know why but I guess because I'm on the edge here 3 d early I took another cb test on a very practically seen through nonfmu sample and there is a thin not even half a vertical line where you'd get a plus if preg. Aargh I've had those before when testing early and then a stronger one on following day . Now I'm really going to go mental not knowing . It's definitely blue and where the line should appear not a smudge or anything but not a full line . shouldn't have tested again to be honest . I've gotten so many positives in the past that have failed that this makes me very anxious and hopefully but not exited and happy like when I got my first ever BFP and went on to have DS .
I guess I'll have to just make it to the next morning and so on to test again with something more potent ...

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 12:45

Sounds like a good sign Nordic! Tomorrow will be here in no time!

OP posts:
Hazelbrowneyes · 26/03/2014 12:45

I think 21st too. The one day DH was too tired to dtd. Grr.

I'm in Jersey. It's fab out here. I'd move here tomorrow if I could!

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 12:54

Stupid DH isn't answering my texts prob too busy going to the gym on his lunch break . Aaargh he never answers when I need him too. . I would chew my nails if they weren't cut so short but instead scoffing the rest of a Ben and jerrys and now feeling even more ill than before . Will try to nap next before a late school run and DS street dance show :).

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/03/2014 12:57

I think if you dtd on 19th and 20th Hazel, you're still in with a definite chance! FX

Really hope this is a bfp for you Nordic!! FX for you too!! Get yourself a FRER

Hazelbrowneyes · 26/03/2014 13:16

Hope so English! DTD 17, 19, 20 and 22nd so hopefully that'll be enough!

gennibugs · 26/03/2014 13:29

hi all

checking in. bfp due 29th March - I seem to have dropped off the stats.

have had no symptoms apart from a bit of mild cramping but I just don't think this is going to be our month - I can just tell. Sad

congratulations to the bfps. I'm guessing there aren't many of us left here now!

gennibugs · 26/03/2014 13:32

pressed send too soon - meant to say I am on obsessive knicker watch...praying Af stays away...Please please please!

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 14:33

Byaaah went to the loo and had a bit of red blood :( do I guess it's game over for me again ... What the hell has happened to my luteal phase ?! If this is AF then it's 11 d again not the usual 14 like it used to be

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 15:04

Oh Nordic, I was getting all hopeful for you reading back. I'm sorry Sad I've knocked back several chocolate biscuits so I guess af is going to appear in the end. What a confusing month it's been! But still no sign of af yet?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 15:12

Poor dh isn't usually allowed in out en suite! I'm a bit of a prude when it comes to toilet antics and he had to be at least on a different floor from me Blush any how he's home today and thought he'd helpfully tidy our bedroom and ensuite Angry he just emptied the bathroom bin, which he knows he's not allowed to do and found 25 old pee sticks BlushBlushBlushBlush and a broken frer! OMG woman, how many tests have you done?! I've also got lined up the 3 positive ones on the side in a line of dpos! He's thrown them all away BlushSad he was laughing hysterically, what are you going to pee on now then? Grin All I could say was I couldn't help myself, it was just tooooooo tempting!

KittyVonCatsington · 26/03/2014 17:08

Hello! Hopping on a bit late-you all move so fast!!!

Sorry to read that, English - it is also confusing, I agree! I don't know what to say really as I think I officially have no clue. Finally getting pulling pains in my left side which means ovulation pain for me ( have these every cycle) but 6 days after positive OPK-go figure! Do I DTD still? Do I not? I feel your pain!!!!!!!!!!

KittyVonCatsington · 26/03/2014 17:19

Last cycle, DH walked into our bathroom and caught me sitting crossed legged next to a cup of wee, a test and rocking back and forth, MrsE-what must they be thinking Grin

CabbagesAndKings · 26/03/2014 17:25

Grin I've told my DH that the massive pack of tests I ordered off the internet are 'just incase- we wouldn't want to have to go to the chemist, would we?'- the chemist is the only one in our village and everyone knows/is related to everyone else. You come out of that shop with a test, and people are already congratulating you en route to the Spar

Of course, I intend to pee on ALL the sticks Grin
