So sorry you're stil not well, Boris. I had a bad run of coughs and colds from November to March and my GP said he'd seen a lot of these persistent or recurrent bugs this year, especially coughs. He said there's a firm of winter asthma that can cause the coughs and has quite a few patients who gave seasonal inhalers

How far along are you missmrs?

sarah1391 · 01/05/2015 18:25

Thanks carlton...i'm hoping that as i've already had a real period mine will be back to normal straight away too, then the only problem will be making sure that my other half is home at the right time! Trying not to stress about it though haha

Exciting missmartin! Hope you are making the most of it Smile

Boris, hope you're ok lovely Smile

Anyone else doing the CB trial here? The little wee pots are labelled 'toxic' & normally I pee in this great big plastic thing that fits on the toilet seat (they provided it!) then pour it into the pot. However this morning I realised I had put the plastic thing elsewhere so I just held the pot & pee'd in it, but quite a bit splashed my hand when it reached the top... Could I have got the toxic materials on my hand or am I just being silly? When I started the trial they warned me not to touch the inside of the containers.Confused

MiissMartiin · 02/05/2015 07:19

well Im not entirely sure my opks as positive but getting darker every day... ive forgot to do my temp yday nd tday so i might aswell not bother this cycle now. ..
how are you coffee Grin ?
and i sure am!!!

MiissMartiin · 02/05/2015 07:22

mum of one. . isn't it because they are sterile? and then once they contain wee then they will be toxic (like not biochemical waste haha) but cz it contains a bodily fuild? I'm not sure thoughhh?? Hmm

CarrotVan · 02/05/2015 07:40

I expect they have some sort of preservative inside. I doubt you'll cause yourself any problems which a brief, diluted splash. Probably best not to lick the inside of one though

nightandthelight · 02/05/2015 07:43

I think it's to do with the preservative Mum. Is it just the word toxic or does it have the yellow hazard symbols on it? If your skin is not reacting to it then just make sure it's clean and you will be fine :)

DH and I had a very serious chat about adoption last night. Not because I don't think we can conceive naturally (only on cycle 3!) but because it is something that I have wanted to do since I was 11. DH does want a biological child and I do feel that we are both perhaps a little young and lacking in child experience to be able to give an adopted child the support it needs. Definitely going to revisit it when we consider a second child though!

Will update stats and post chart this morning I promise!

Thanks for the stats night I think it's a lovely idea to adopt. There are so many unwanted children out there! Which seems cruel when you think how hard it is to get pregnant! But I understand the urge to also have a biological child. I know a couple who adopted because they couldn't have children, only to fall pregnant! So they were thrilled to have both! And the brothers grew up really close.

Mumof1sofar · 02/05/2015 08:23

Thanks all - I think you're right that it's a preservative. Washed my hands & no reaction so as you say think I'll be fine! Smile Just did another opk & still blank smiley so nowhere near ov yet! Sorry for the 'me' post - how's everyone else doing?

loopylou1984 · 02/05/2015 08:26

The hazardous symbol is def for the person collecting them to know there's human material inside, don't worry Smile

loopylou1984 · 02/05/2015 08:27

Did I update my stats here? Cycle 19, AF due 29th may. Xx

Mumof1sofar · 02/05/2015 08:58

Thanks sammy. And good luck this cycle x

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 02/05/2015 08:58

BFN this morning Sad But I'm still hoping that it's just too early for a positive.

Assuming AF will arrive in a few days, the next AF/BFP should be 27th May.

parsnipbob · 02/05/2015 09:22

Sorry for BFN MaybeMrs, but definitely could still be too early.

wishiwaspregnant · 02/05/2015 09:23

maybe sorry for your bfn how many dpo are you? Have you had any symptoms? Possible that you tested too soon? What's the recommendation? Some ppl do a test 10dpo and get a faint line. A friend if mine said she had to wait until 16 plus dpo before a faint line showed up! Maybe some tests are more sensitive than others? I use superdrug.

DizzyMerry · 02/05/2015 10:03

Sorry for bfn maybemrs but hoping it's just too early.

Miiss I can't believe you've dtd 6 days in a row Shock the most I've done is 5 and I was so exhausted I didn't want to think about dtd ever again. Well done on the shagathon!

I'm 7dpo so nothing exciting going on here.

Woolly84 · 02/05/2015 10:10

Morning all!

miismartin go go go!! Wink

coffeenut hello! You ok? Yep CD6 here so time to clean the pipes and start OPKs tomorrow Grin

night adoption would be an amazing thing to do Smile

maybe sorry for the BFN but yes, it might just be too early Flowers

Somebody said on here once that 13.6 dpo is the average to get a BFP, very precise eh!

Hairstylisttoboris · 02/05/2015 10:13

maybe I'm sorry for bfn. You are not out until AF arrives though. Hang in there. X

wishiwaspregnant · 02/05/2015 10:14

woolly84 that is rather precise! I might round it up to 14dpo (oh heck who am I kidding) lol. miissmartiin you go girl!!! I'm on day 4 of shagathon!!! Determined!!! Pa haaaa
