Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

Maybe it's a stupid question again. .. what is a moon?

Mummyofonesofar · 16/07/2015 20:07

Oops sorry mooncup! www.amazon.co.uk/Mooncup-Model-A-Menstrual-Cup/dp/B001EC6FWK

Mummyofonesofar · 16/07/2015 20:08

You can use them for af and to keep the jizz up.

RalucaMorena · 16/07/2015 21:03

Is it not uncomfortable?

Mummyofonesofar · 16/07/2015 21:06

This is my first month using it. To be honest it is fab! So comfy, I don't know it's there. I have quite a low cervix so for me it's even more comfy than a tampon during AF.

Nomio230 · 16/07/2015 21:11

I might have to get one of those. I tried the softcup things, but found them really hard to get out.

I am home now, thankfully.

Mummy, I think you are our new EWCM champion!

How are the twins, Boris?!

Superworm · 16/07/2015 21:23

Can I join? AF just arrived so I'm hoping august will be my month. Got a moon cup somewhere but always been scared to use it after reading horror stories about them getting stuck and being removed in A&E - will try anything now though Grin

Mummyofonesofar · 16/07/2015 21:46

nomio I don't think mine is as good as kirs yet will keep monitoring! I truly recommend the mooncup fab little thing!

Welcome worm! Lovely to have you could I have some stats please. I hope August is your month too. Sorry about AF! Again I recommend the mooncup to everyone Grin

Nomio230 · 16/07/2015 21:55

Welcome, Worm. I have never heard those stories, but am scared now!

Where is everyone tonight?

Sammy, how are you doing?

DizzyMerry · 16/07/2015 23:15

Welcome worm Smile fx for a short journey. You've put me right off the moon cup!

Wow mummy that is good going and it's great you made the most of the opportunity.

Hope all went well today sammy.

I am now in possession of a thermometer so back to temping tomorrow.

It's eerily quite in here Sad

BabyBumpHopeful · 17/07/2015 01:43

Hi All :)

So CD23 today. I have a temp drop today, my OPK's have been darkish since yesterday and I'm cramping like mad so pretty sure I'm OVing today. I've been having crazy vivid dreams where I'm actually awake so I've taken my CPAP off (and turned of the machine). Weird.

I'm looking at a BFP due date of 28th according to FF. Fingers crossed. I've told DH I'll go get bloodwork done if we don't catch this week.

Also, my SIL (who I work with as some of you know) is letting me borrow one of her FitBit's so I've been monitoring my steps for a "normal" week all this week. Definitely room for improvement!

There's been some stuff going on with our house and a hail storm so I've had other stuff to focus on but it's still there in the back of my mind... like all of us I'm sure!

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 05:33

Had a huge temp rise of .6 Grin

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 06:55

Cramps and nauseous and emotional. Think this is pms. Work stress and Ttc stress woke me up at 3am and I was in floods of tearsSad know I'm not out until af arrives but feeling very negative right now.

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 06:56

mummy I don't temp so don't understand but guessing that's a good sign?! X

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 07:07

Good morning you gorgeous lot!

Nomio I think if you're not afraid to stick a finger up next to it to release the suction then you are ok! It is not hard.

DizzyM yay for back in temping! I was pleased with my ewcm too Grin

BBH I hope you ov soon and get some better sleep! I always have bad sleep around ov time too

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 07:15

Aww kir sorry you're feeling down Hun. Big hugs. Yes a temp rise shows that I ovd yesterday as I suspected. In 2 days FF will give my graph crosshairs and confirm my ov for the day before the rise. So I am currently 1dpo.

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 08:07

Woo! Yay to ov mummy

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 08:11

Whoops forgot to add my dtd from yesterday! That's unlike me! Normally straight on my app before he's even pulled out haha.

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 08:18

nympho do you have new dates yes lovely?

And Bozza I don't have an up to dad test date for you.

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 08:40

Sorry for thread hogging - just nearly threw up, gagged and coughed and coughed but just about managed to keep everything down. Symptom at 1dpo Hmm With any luck it means I have had a huge progesterone increase and its going to get that egg well and truly stuck Grin

Kirjava · 17/07/2015 08:58

Blimey mummy morning sickness already!

Hairstylisttoboris · 17/07/2015 09:16

mummy I'm due to test on Tuesday 28th. When are you and kir testing? We must all be on a simar timeframe? My cramping has stopped so I think I'm 2dpo but dtd this morning just in case.... I have a thumping headache? Symptom or hangover?! If it's a hangover I am getting to be very light weight in my old age....

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 09:26

Boris so is this cycle 14 or 15 for you? I am testing on Wed 29th – though we both know I will be testing from way twerly Grin I am sure it is just a bit of dehydration from the alcohol rather than an actual hangover! Or maybe that is a progesterone surge symptom too?

I have kir down as testing on 25th but think that is a bit early as she ov'd around the same time as us!

loopylou1984 · 17/07/2015 09:32

Sorry I've been absent girls, I feel so awful I can do nothing more than sit by the toilet. Looking at my phone seems to make me feel worse so I'm not going to be able to catch up. Xx

Mummyofonesofar · 17/07/2015 09:35

sammy you poor thing - don't worry about catching up at all. Just rest up lovely. Whats the next step?
