Lord Sugar: "Mrs Gingerbread...you're hired!"

CoffeeTwo · 11/02/2015 20:58

I'm braving outside of this bus to see if anyone else has experienced this. Google has not helped me. I've never seen this happen before. Argh.

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 20:59

Coffee, what a horrible torment Sad

Juney, if it doesn't stretch at least an inch between finger and fumb then it's creamy.

mustbemad71 · 11/02/2015 21:00

Coffee: do a FREF in the morning - everything crossed for you.

You gals are so chatty! I want to catch up but DP demanding attention!

Nomio230 · 11/02/2015 21:00

coffee you have my sympathy. That is such an annoying result. I really hope it is just a weird positive & that you are actually pregnant with a whole baby, not just half!

juneybean · 11/02/2015 21:02

Fingers crossed for you coffee

tell him to wait his turn, mustbe*.

I was on here last night & dh said "shall we go to bed?"
I said "you go ahead & I will be there in a bit"
& his little face crumpled & he said "but we were going to have sex."

I had forgotten. [shocked] [embarrassed]

Nomio230 · 11/02/2015 21:07

I am so tired I can't even get the faces right now!

Oh Coffee :( That is very confuddling.

Ginger The thermometer holder is a work of pure genius. I wonder if you could market that to Dragon's Den? Perhaps have different sized holders for a range of different objects that you might suddenly need in the middle of the night? How about trying a mini egg tube to hold a dildo? (Obvs just a small one- pocket rocket or something?)

mustbe My DH works most nights until 10. You ladies are my new social life!

Reliability of Ovulation Tests in Infertile Women

Abstract

Objective: To assess the reliability of the most widely used clinical methods for predicting or confirming ovulation.

Methods: We monitored spontaneous cycles in 101 infertile women using basal body temperature (BBT), transvaginal ultrasound, a urinary stick system for LH surge, and three serum progesterone measurements in the midluteal phase. Transvaginal ultrasound monitoring was standard for ovulation detection and sensitivity. We calculated specificity and accuracy of each method compared with that standard.

Results: Follicular development and ultrasound evidence of ovulation were confirmed in 97 of 101 cycles (96%). Urinary LH surge preceded follicular rupture assessed by ultrasonography in all cycles and showed concordance with ultrasound-evidenced ovulation in 98 of 101 cases. The timing of BBT nadir had wide variability, and BBT and ultrasonography agreed in a similar percentage of cases (74%). Midluteal serum progesterone assessments showed ovulatory values in 93 subjects, and ovulation was concordant with ultrasonography in 90 subjects.

I love Nomio and Eskimo's stories of finding true love!

Nomio230 · 11/02/2015 21:15

So for those of us without a dildo-cam at home, it looks like opks are the best option I guess.

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 21:18

Miss, I have had globulous, stretchy gloop even as part of my menstrual emissions, but that is not ewcm. Ewcm is perfectly translucent and stretches like snail trail.

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 21:23

I have more academia to share but I don't want to flood your pea brains. I also want to watch Game of Schlongs...

Nanight, lovely funny friends Thanks

Giddymamma · 11/02/2015 21:23

So basically I might aswell shove shiny new thermometer up my bottom after all and leave it there purds?! Ha ha! thanks very much for digging these out. Having reviewed them I am disappointed in their strong belief in cbfms, as I do not like what mine tells me. :)
I met my oh on mysinglefriend four years ago. His pics were bad, his chat was weird, but I was sooooo bored (I had been working away from home for months and was lonely) I agreed to meet him. And turns out in Rl he was (is) delicious. :)

Nice to hear lots of happy stories on here, hope you get a happy story tomorrow morning coffee. Fx.

eskimolaura · 11/02/2015 21:25

Nomio Luckily for me, we didn't share everything. We had separate bank accounts, cars etc. The only big thing was that his name was on the deeds of the house, which we bought together, but stupidly the mortgage was solely in my name, because he had a bad credit rating when we applied and they would only give it to me. So when we split, I was in a crazy situation where I was paying for the house, but he owned half of it. I was able to do so as he had been unemployed for about a year, but it was a difficult job buying him out of his half and getting him to sign the papers. To this day, he still hasn't switched addresses for his car and I still get letters through from the DVLA. Angry

I had EWCM on Monday, but I'm hoping that I ovulated Saturday or Sunday, as DH was too tired to DTD on Monday (Pow! Pow! Pow! night).

Hairstylisttoboris · 11/02/2015 21:27

Hey ladies DH and I met online - eharmony.
coffee how confusing, do rest again soon.
victoria Flowers if you decide to fight for your relationship definitely try relate. DH and I also did the marriage course, one night a week for about 8 weeks. It really gave us some tools and time to learn to communicate with each other. Big hugs to you.

Giddymamma · 11/02/2015 21:29

Hairstylist, I tried e harmony but got matched up with my ex?! Neither of us were very impressed. :)

mrsb0710 · 11/02/2015 21:29

I'm a complete science nerd - love the extracts that purdey posts.

I too met DH on a dating site. We met, moved in together after 3 months, married after 18 months. Told him it was the best £10 I'd ever spent to join the site. Haha.
My mum didn't know we had met online until the wedding Hmm

CD#8. Managed to DTD yesterday and today. Trying to.stick to the smep as best we can.
When should I expect CM to change to something more fertile. Nothing much happening down there yet.

MarysPrayer · 11/02/2015 21:32

Wow! All these internet dating successes! I met dh on match, shortly after finally getting rid of my dope smoking, free loading arse of a boyfriend.

Anyone, back to the thread. Fx for you coffee, we're due another bfp soon surely? !

4dpo here. Still bored. Glad I've got you all to stalk talk to.

eskimolaura · 11/02/2015 21:36

Mary's What day are you due to poas? MyDays is telling me that it should be the 20th.

eskimolaura · 11/02/2015 21:37

For me, obvs, not you! Just wondered if we were cycle buddies...

MarysPrayer · 11/02/2015 21:43

Laura yes, we are Smile

I'm not completely sure about my dates but, assuming this cycle is the same length as last months, then AF/bfp is due on 21st. However much I say I won't, I WILL poas before 21st!

lucieloos · 11/02/2015 21:43

Hey there I don't post on here too much anymore I have migrated over to the infertility threads as am now on cycle 14, ttc#1. I am hoping to start ivf next month and we are looking at going to Reprofit in Czech Republic. I saw your post purdey about having treatment out there and you have got me in a dilemma now between Gennet and Reprofit? How did you find the whole experience in Czech? Any hints or tips?

Waves at Spinning and any other long termers still on the board Smile

Nomio230 · 11/02/2015 21:44

Yay for internet dating!

I am currently researching causes of schizophrenia for a presentation tomorrow (I am a not so mature student) & scaring myself silly.

Infection during pregnancy, complications during birth, being born male, born in winter, having a traumatic birth, older father, being brought up in urban areas. All these things cause increased chances of psychosis.

I think I need to find a young guy to knock me up, genetically select a girl & then live in isolation in the country!

It is a wonder anyone is ever born sane!
