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.

My OPK's a very definite positive today. The test line has never been darker than the control line before so I'm very pleased with that. My body is starting to cooperate finally!

Bozza I’ve emailed Thomson – got to wait 8 days for a response but said it was not clear (though I have since found it in the terms and cond that were emailed to me when I booked.

DizzyM there is that positive!! Hoping I have mine when I get home too. I will contact both companies I think and try and get out of it. Feel like such a fool – I am always so careful on things like this!

Just seen a heavily pregnant young lady with a fag hanging out her gob. I'm allowed to be judgey about this aren't I?

DizzyMerry · 15/07/2015 13:40

It happens mummy but hopefully you can get out of it. Fx for you positive opk.

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 13:43

kir how vile! Yes you can be judgy. A woman on my estate spoked all the way through her pregnancies - said there was nothing wrong with it as her DC1 was fine. He wasn't - he was only a 5 pounder and as 10 he is smaller than my 6yo. How they can't understand or give a shit what harm it does to their kids I don't know!!

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 13:45

On the other hand my friend lost her baby at 37 weeks but they kept her induction date of 38 weeks (planned due to babies size) so she smoked once she found out the baby had died and even outside maternity at the hospital and got some filthy looks. Little did they all know her baby was already dead.

Hairstylisttoboris · 15/07/2015 13:45

mummy worth a couple of stripy emails to see if you can get a few quid back. Also worth trying their Twitter/Facebook page?

dizzym now that is a positive.... Get on it girl....

Hairstylisttoboris · 15/07/2015 13:48

mummy that's so tragic.

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 13:52

Boris Oh yes I forget to tweet sometimes! Will try that tonight Grin Usually much quicker response that way too. It is really tragic, poor thing. She had already had 2/3 mcs and then the stillborn. She is no longer TTC. She would have been an amazing Mum Sad

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 14:04

Sorry to tell you all this but I just went to the loo and when I wiped it looked as if a slug had crawled all over the paper! So much ewcm. Stretched it to about 6cm Grin So proud!

Kirjava · 15/07/2015 14:06

Nice ewcm mummy!

So sad about your friend Sad

I have a new symptom. My womb area feels SO HEAVY. not bloated as such, but just...pressure and heavy. I need to man up and stop being such a dick!

Kirjava · 15/07/2015 14:07

Woooo for that strong +opk dizzy

Aufwiedersehenpetrarch · 15/07/2015 14:13

Oh fuckit. My post just deleted. Aaa-aaar-rrgh!
Uhm in summary it was mummy sorry about money, yay on cm; kir be judgy if you like but stop symptom spotting says the hypocritical wench who is wondering if the achy uterus she has is a symptom; dizzy OMG-oooo-d what an amazing positive! Sex it is!; and sammy any phone call back yet?

DizzyMerry · 15/07/2015 14:27

That's awful mummy. Yay for ewcm I had loads yesterday but didn't have any panty liners with me so kept running to the loo to clean myself up!

DH has been informed of the positive opk. He has asked me to send him pics as the line gets darker and he's more eager than me to shag tonight Grin

Loving all the symptom spotting. Fx they are the real deal.

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 14:33

kir heavy womb is often mentioned by those BFP grabbers Grin

Auf sorry about the post. Yes how is Sammy ?

DizzyM I keep running to the loo too, keeps feeling very wet down there Blush Love how your DH is excited about the opk line. Wish mine would be! He just cant be arsed with any of it nor can I But this cycle he did promise to try extra hard and hasn’t turned me down once yet.

Kirjava · 15/07/2015 14:43

Hahaha loving the phrase bfp grabbers!

RalucaMorena · 15/07/2015 15:01

Can I be gelouse on your ewcm? Since mc#2 I barely have any. We use preseed. :(
Must be a sign in getting old! ????

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 15:18

Ral we use preeseed too. Have you tried epo? It didn't increase mine by much but it may help you?

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 15:58

My right hand side is throbbing - like I am due on - haven't got my positive opk yet so can't be ov yet surely!

RalucaMorena · 15/07/2015 16:13

I don't know what epo is. Can you please give me some details?
My mum cooked a simple potato casserole and it smelted delicious (even mouth watering) and now I have heartburn. Not funny!

loopylou1984 · 15/07/2015 16:24

Hi girls, I'm ok thank you, my mum came round with supplies.
The clinic weren't worried, the fact that it got better by this morning suggests it's not OHSS and rather she thought it was likely that my blood sugar was low following the surgery.

Off to read back now Smile

Glad you are ok sammy

ral epo is evening primrose oil. They are capsules you can buy online or in Holland and barret. They are meant to increase fertile cm. you take 2 every day until a +opk or ov. Don't take them past ov as they can cause cramping and stop implantation or even cause mc.

Mummyofonesofar · 15/07/2015 16:56

YAY!!! Positive opk!

MadameLeota · 15/07/2015 17:01

Oh no mummy what an awful story!
sammy hope you are feeling better today.

I'm still not sure if I've ov'd - 3 days of really strong OPKs (same boldness as I showed the other day) so waiting for a temp rise to confirm. Still EWCM so hopeful. Had the most awful crampy pains yesterday - womby and all kind of 'down below' as well. Could that be ovulation? The only thing that gave me relief was DTD as he hit the spot where the pain was coming from (tmi!) which kind of filled and numbed it. Really bizarre.

Babies babies babies visiting work today. I held one and he went to sleep which was so lovely that I had to have a quick cry at work afterwards but oh well! Grin

MadameLeota · 15/07/2015 17:02

X posted mummy - quick CoC! Grin
