How could I forget - it's pancake day!!

Well..'fun' is so subjective. I like to think I could turn it into something exhilarating on the day. Perhaps superglue my sphincter shut; smear Nutella around my anus.

Can't see the pic as I'm on the app in the loo at work! But yay Winter, congratulations!! Xx

Winterbaby Yay!! Didn't even need the black and white pic, very clear line there. Congratulations, fx it is a very sticky one for you

Winter, I'm so thrilled for you, congratulations and wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Purdey, yay for no piles but yuck to camera up bum

So who's making pancakes later? What do people put in savoury pancakes? Just wondering if I can just get away with sweet and savoury pancakes for dinner tonight for my german

I think you are giving far too shiny a shit about that German's gastronomic predilections.

Huge congratulations winter

Happy Pancake Day to everyone!

Sparkly Hope your doc's appointment went / is going / will go ok and you manage to get some answers

Giggling at all the potties from CB. I bought the dual surge OPK earlier this month and paid £50 for it with 20 sticks, so you have got a cracker of a deal there! Luckily, I started to use it on day 10 and got a flashing smiley on day 11, and only used it about 5 times after til I got the peak, so I have plenty of sticks for the next cycle, if I need them.

mrsb Hope you feel better today. The sun is shining and you have pancakes to eat! Seriously, take it easy and do something for yourself.

Purple Yay for the good levels!

Purdey Love Nutella. Not so keen on bumholes...

11dpo for me, there or thereabouts. Still no symptoms of any kind. Resisted poas this morning, but thinking (for no good reason) that I'm probably out this month. Just don't feel anything! I would LOVE a BFP this month, but equally I wouldn't mind having a natural period, just to prove I can (last one was synthetic thanks to Norethisterone) and having come off the pill in November and not having AF since, I would quite like something to occur.

The signs are all there as I got my peak smiley at the 'right' time earlier this month, so fc something will happen at the weekend! Also, I have Fall Out Boy tickets booked for October 3rd and they are my second favourite band and I would quite like to see them a) At their own gig, as I have only seen them at Download Festival and b) Not being 8 months+ pregnant. I am rambling now... Whatever will be, will be!

MORNING! Winter, congrats! Amazing stuff.

Glad you don't have piles purdey. I have suffered with them in the past and they are NO FUN. None at all. /overshare.

Juney, do you feel full of delectable swimmers today? They'll be FLYING to your egg, FLYING no less.

Sammy, due to my lack of a temp rise after my positive opk, I've done a lot of googling to see how long a rise can take, and it has said up to 4/5 days for some people, so you might still get one!

Sparkly I LOVE your potty. It says on the forms dooo not discusss thiss on mumsnet or facebooook. Do you reckon you'll get commandos swinging through the windows to confiscate your potty?

spinning - what did your student pick? Haha, some people don't consider that sort of thing do they. The cheek!

Aurora, I know, I'm an overheated beast. I'm not sure of anything! I did an opk last night and this morning, faint lines on both (I'll continue with them today) so no second surge as yet, but there is lh lurking.

I did get a high temp this morning but who knows if that will be sustained- I did wake up very hot (again).

I'm calling the docs for an appointment though, just so I can get bloods/maybe the vagina dildo cam again... WAHEY, just so I know the deal.

winter congratulations to you, how exciting, hope all goes well for you

sparkly good luck at the docs x be interested to hear what he says x

Huge temp drop this morning for me so im expecting af anytime. Been wondering if It was possible I had a cp? The test on sunday and the highest consistent temps ive ever had is making me think there was something going on. Any thoughts?

Bean So sorry to hear that. Can we see your chart today?

Bowies If they ask if I am on Mumsnet I shall say no so cannot be found and told off for talking about CB on here. Could you have ov'd yesterday and missed the surge and the faint lines are post ov lines and your high temp today would point in that direction? How much of a rise was it?

Spinningirl I normally make savory pancakes a bit like cannelloni just swapping pasta for pancakes or I fill them with chicken and cheesy sauce.

4dpo here, crampy twingy feeling on my right side of abdomen and a bit of back ache. Keep telling myself it is too early to feel anything plus we missed the 2 days before ov so unlikely to get pregnant but can't help feeling 'different'.

Good luck sparkly

A BFP! Congrats winter

Still feeling stressed, and DH has a job interview today, so that's not helping! But what will be, will be que sera, sera We will get through the shitty times together.
DH is 40 later this month and I'd love to have a bfp for him. Most likely will just bake a dodgy looking cake. Haha.

purdey I have IBD, so get an annual colon-cam. Yay. The stuff you have to drink to prep is nasty nasty, but the sedatives are amazing

I'm cheating with my pancakes lazy cow and using a Betty Crocker shake thing. Mmmm...sugar.

I have a question re dates for OV; I had a near possitive opk on Sunday then a strong positive opk at 10 am yesterday. We didn't get to DTD at all recently but may be able to tonight. Is it worth it or too late? Do I force my exhausted DH into shagging me or do I leave him be for the month?! Agh

Hairstylist If in doubt, shag it out. But if he needs a rest you best wait for someone more informed on opk as I haven't used them before? I think you can ovulate well after a positive if you are odd like Sparkly but I think people normally ovulate 12-36 hours after their surge so i guess incase he has fast swimmers, I would make use of the time and go again. Purdey Can you help?

boris, I'd shag tonight just in case yes! Unless you think it'll break him!

That's the spirit mummy, I'll do the same!

It's possible I had a surge that I missed as originally I got a surge/positive, then a negative the following day so stopped using them for two days.

We'll see what my temperature does tomorrow eh! It was up 0.5 of a degree, so quite a lot, but might be a freak one.

Just had a negative opk with a barely visible line. I'm leaning towards believing I haven't ovulated but we'll see.

I have just made an appointment at the docs for the end of next week.

Winter baby, fantastic news, big hug. Now don't make me cry at work again.

Purdey, no. What a waste of Nutella.....

I've never been particularly fond of nutella? Is that some sort of giveaway? Have I outed myself as one of two people in the uk, ffive in the world, who doesn't like nutella?
Shaggity shag Boris! Just do it!
Hurrah winter, and well done Eskimo! Stamina is what we all need!
If you wake up hot bowie, are you sure you're not doing some recreational exercise in your sleep. A sleep state predawn shag perhaps?
Spinning I know a lot of Germans and in my experience they will eat anything. Especially if it has potato and sausage in it. I'm sure if you pop a sausage in a pancake it will do just fine!

Oh no total bold fail. Wtf?
Feels necessary to repeat for winter in case she misses it. Brilliant!
Thanks purds. So this adds to my feeling that ff is wrong and I haven't ovulated yet. Will continue opks. marches off sternly
Oh and purds did I get the drift of your previous message right? About a surge not correlating to a cycle length if ovulation didn't occur?

I am so fucking excited about pancake day! So. Fucking. Excited. Any excuse, though it be said I make them fairly often anyway. Nowt wrong with a good flappy on your hob!

Ffs am not going to try and catch up as on tablet with dodgy soft play connection! But temp was 97.28 (followed by 97.48 two hours later) after yesterday spike so not sure when ovulation was

Hope everyone's okay!

mummy here is my chart from today, ive never had a temp as high as yesterday. I went to bed Sunday eve feeling really hot but shivery but stupidly thought it might have been a pregnancy system, felt hot when I got up but fine once up and about. Odd

Oops forgot chart lol

My DH just arrived home with a bag of walnuts. He is in the kitchen making himself feel more masculine by cracking them without using a nutcracker. Is this the definition of irony?

Congratulations, winter I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead of you!

Boris, I would dtd if possible. If your egg took a while to come down & dh has fast swimmers, they could still meet up.

Beansprout, it sounds to me like it could have been, but I don't really know anything about temping. I am sure sparkly or purdey will be along soon.

thought it might have been a pregnancy system

bean love the idea of a pregnancy system. It sounds like an impending hurricane, like a dangerous weather system. Poetic innit.

juney maybe the swimmers are circling and getting ready to pounce?

7 dpo here & starting to think about poas. Soembody shout at me please.
