Thread 6! Wowzers! Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in cm management!

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, a resident piss stick queen runner, loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

But on the whole, we're a good bunch, especially bunch who is literally, a bunch. bunch

Indi I feel so bad for DP as well!!! Last night I don't know how I convinced him to dtd, he was so tired. And today I said we are doing it again and he said what? Did we do it last night? I was asleep GrinGrin

I am confused about my fw now because I have 3 apps saying different things. So I got a positive opk yesterday (see attached) Grin and I am doing sperm meets egg plan. I just need to jump DP and hope that he goes along with it

Has anyone watched the first episode of the new call the midwife series? I'm about 20 minutes in and I fear I shall be weeping by the end! I can't even cope with pretend babies being born without getting all emotional!

Pissy stick experts - I have a question!

What happens after you've had your positive? Does the line on subsequent tests fade or just disappear? I'm so confused about when I ovulated - I think I got a positive opk on Sunday (it wasn't darker than the control line but nearly the same colour, stupidly didn't test on Monday) and today the line is faint - does that mean I ovulated on Monday or Tuesday or is there a chance I ovulated today?

Argh my multiple apps have royally confused me!

Ovia has really misled me!

Kwick709 · 20/01/2016 22:18

stark I love Call the Midwife... I cry every episide and the last one was not different!

I thought I knew about ovulation and lh surge but you guys have got me all confused! Harriet my clinic normally does insemination 24 hours after lh surge to coincide with ovulation... But you inject an ovulation trigger too! I have read surge can continue on for a few days.

Holly300 · 20/01/2016 22:38

Thanks choc and dubbya, I'm on my iPhone but for some reason on this app, the globe button doesn't show up on the keyboard! Weird!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/01/2016 22:40

I've got three crochet projects on the go and am thinking of starting a new one, I have no staying power with projects at all!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/01/2016 22:46

ever I'd definitely think that was a positive on an opk. All my apps say different things too, my plan this month is just to dtd every other day and hope for the best! My lh surges are odd so I have no idea when I'm on route for an ovulation and my cm isn't and my help as someone said the other day, I have no idea if it's cm or residual jizz!

harriet opk lines are confusing. If yiu had and my positive on Sunday I'd assume you had ovulated then or on Monday. Ive read articles saying that an lh surge can mean ovulation within 12 hours, and ones which say a positive can mean you are on course to ovulate within 36. It's a mine field!

Choc you sound so preggo!!!

Chocaholic88 · 20/01/2016 22:55

Ahh holly I'm on android and using my Web browser! Can't see an app on the Google play store!

Tell me about it evergreen however my body doesn't want to play ball and answer either way lol!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/01/2016 23:50

ever your poor DH Grin mine was the same

snow we can continue our bus rides together if bfn..we got pretty similar cycles! I think af is due around 23rd not 26th as my LP was 12 days last month.
11dpo tomorrow.. I don't feel that I'm with child. No symptoms other than period like pains over last few days but I think it's normal in run up to af. Temps very flat.

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/01/2016 23:51

Oh and bugger it - glass of bailys tonight & might sneak in a frer later -- I'm a rebel!!!

ImpYCelyn · 20/01/2016 23:54

Baileys and a frer - living the fucking high life GrinGrinGrin

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/01/2016 23:55

Taking life to..the..edge!! 😂😂

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/01/2016 23:56

Imp when are you tempted to start poas?

ElleSarcasmo · 20/01/2016 23:57

Hi everyone! How are you all doing?

Huge congratulations Leonie !!! Flowers

Sorry about the BFN Zazzles.

Can't believe you got dissed for being 26 Miley, hardly that young is it?

Kat are they all known by the same name? My Greek friend always goes as a nickname version of her name...she says the full name is her grandmother's name! Other Greek friends use the full name and shrug if you ask them if people get confused, obviously not!

Yes to the EWCM/jizz confusion!! Blush

Definitely buy some Gu ImpY! Peeing in a Gu ramekin is the done thing here! Wink

ElleSarcasmo · 20/01/2016 23:58

Now I want a Baileys Zazzles!

Snowdog37 · 21/01/2016 00:02

Baileys in hot chocolate is one of My Favourite Things.

ImpYCelyn · 21/01/2016 00:02

I've got that luxury Belgian choc baileys, which I've been virtuously abstaining from. Now I wants!

I'll be poas the second they arrive, tomorrow hopefully! Way to early, but they're so cheap and I like to count down Hmm

ImpYCelyn · 21/01/2016 00:03

I'm actually tempted to get outbid bed for baileys. But I'm warm..

ElleSarcasmo · 21/01/2016 00:06

I'd get out of bed for the luxury chocolate Baileys! Ooh it must be lovely in hot chocolate!

ElleSarcasmo · 21/01/2016 00:07

Give it a try Imp and report back! Maybe not tonight though, it is too cold to get out of bed.

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 21/01/2016 00:10

Omg Belgian choc bailys!! Why am I drinking the normal shit when choc bailys exists Shock

Kwick709 · 21/01/2016 04:39

Am I the only person on the planet (or at least this thread) that is not a big fan of chocolate? I am still full of cold and woke up and cannot seem to settle again. Am quite cold too and cannot get hotel heating to work....

leoniethelioness · 21/01/2016 06:38

Thank you, Elle! Fingers crossed for everyone still to test this month.

Mileymoocow · 21/01/2016 06:39

Yes kwick you are!! Grin I've just made my day by weighing myself and realising I've lost the half stone I put on at christmas and I'm not even sure how.

I still have terrible cramps in my abdomen and I don't know why. 5dpo so it's unlikely to have anything to do with af (but that's what it feels like) and it can't be a baby bean burying itself in already cause I've had it for a couple of days. I'm miss farty pants again too. Sorry, colleagues 💩
