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

Evening ladies! Our house move is imminent (3weeks tomorrow!) and still no idea where we're going (I have sh*tloads of stuff so moving may be a blessing towards this minimalistic living modern trendy folk talk about). I am absolutely refusing to get stressed about it! I am continuing to devour my divine chocolate brownies and developing quite the taste for red wine (I really should kick that now I'm at CD7 shouldn't I?! Won't ovulate til about CD19 though) glug glug empty...one bottle less to pack! Refusing to let work stress me out either...cosy under a blanket on the couch with the cat and finally the Christmas episode of Downton! 😄 And it's the weekend soon! 👍

Evening primrose helps EWCM you say? I'll try it out for cycle5!

Trying to remind myself that cycle3 didn't really count as we were apart most of my FW so really just starting cycle3 not 4. Stark it's true..Nothing compares to the hysteria of cycle 1!

Terrible stuff about Alan Rickman... He had such a lovely gravel-y voice!

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 21:09

Hope everyone is OK. My nausea subsided a bit this afternoon and apart from the slobbrry-basset-hound mouth and dizziness, I'm feeling OK this evening (as long as I don't touch my super sore chesticles!)

Watching HP deathly hallows part 1... got to be done tonight 😢

StarkyTheDirewolf · 14/01/2016 21:12

I'm too emotional about it yet choc it will be a few weeks before we manage a potter-a-thon. Champagne and sherlock tonight. And doing some online basket hoarding! [santa]

Mileymoocow · 14/01/2016 21:21

choc I'm watching half blood prince!!

I just need you all to know I had THE most egg whitey cm I've EVER had. I'm quite proud of it which I know is very weird and wanted to share. This is my first time tracking cm properly and I'm a little but addicted to giving it the once over between my fingers. We're going through handwash like wildfire.

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 21:37

Totally understandable stark enjoy the champagne! I'm about to get tearful dobby is about to die

Good news miley ☺☺

IrregularCommentary · 14/01/2016 21:38

I'm on Sense and Sensibility. He'll always be Colonel Brandon to me :-(

I've noticed I hardly have any cm at all (not unusual for me) though supposed to be on my fw right now, with ov on Sunday. Should I be concerned or is it just one of those everyone's different situations?

Confusedcat1 · 14/01/2016 21:43

I don't have much either irregular xx

Kathrino · 14/01/2016 21:49

Irregular, I only get a day or so of it right before ovulation so I'm hoping it's not too much to worry about. I'm super impressed with Miley's productivity.

Mileymoocow · 14/01/2016 21:49

irregular I imagine it's a person by person lulu by lulu thing. I'm only really getting to know my body and figure what's normal for me.

I'm feeling the urge to look at who's next to test! Where's kat and the list? We need some more good news soon.

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 21:51

OK so I NEVER cry (I'm just not liquidly emotional) ... just sobbed and I mean sobbed at Dobby dying. OH looked starled and hugged me 😂😂

I've got a mix of CM... my body is being entirely uncommitted at the moment! It has mostly been rather stretchy (like EWCM but not completely clear). On the POP pill I barely had any so I'm not sure if it's normal or what's normal for me anymore!

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 21:52

I'm seeing my usual doctor tomorrow miley so I may have some sort of explanation as to what the frickidy frick is going on with my messed up body right now! Does that count?? Lol

Mileymoocow · 14/01/2016 21:58

choc I'm so glad you're finally hopefully going to get some sense made out of it all! Keep us all updated even though you're blatantly baking a bun

It sucks so bad that dobby had to die. I fucking hate bellatrix

Kathrino · 14/01/2016 22:03

Good luck for tomorrow choc. I hope they can give you some answers.

IrregularCommentary · 14/01/2016 22:05

Thanks confused/kath/miley Smile

choc, hope you get a proper answer soon.

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 22:23

Thanks ladies! I hope so miley

OK so one of my best friends just sent me this... honest opinions please? Possible or wishful thinking?

LaraG13 · 14/01/2016 22:56

Evening all. So sad about Alan Rickman 😢

irregular I don't get much cm either - I'm a bit concerned it means my vag is a hostile environment 😊 I'm drinking more water and am going to try taking Evening Primrose next cycle I think.

I'm starting to get itchy to test but AF isn't due until 23rd! So it would be pretty much impossible to have a BFP at this point. I'll be patient!

LaraG13 · 14/01/2016 22:59

That's interesting choc. I have certainly read of women not testing positive at all despite being pregnant. Do you meet any of the criteria in the list in the article?

LillianFullStop · 14/01/2016 23:05

omg choc I've never heard of that!! I did hear once of a body builder that didn't know she was pregnant because her stomach muscles were so strong it barely made a bump.

What are your dates? If you were pregnant how many weeks along would you be? Even a cryptic pregnancy can be spotted by a scan - I think from 6 weeks they should be able see with an internal scan.

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 23:05

lara I meet a fair amount if it. I am a size 4-6 so very low body fat naturally this small I might add I have polycystic ovaries but not PCOS ... and to top it off I am still wrestling through a mucky divorce and an ex who has been on bail for over a year so stress is in there too (even though I don't feel stressed you never know?!)

Hmmmm don't want to mention it to the dr in case she has me sectioned 😨😂

Chocaholic88 · 14/01/2016 23:10

OK my stats:

Stopped POP mini pill Zeletta on 12th December

Had 4 faint positive HPT, last one on 27th (others in the days before that)

Haven't had a bleed since stopping the pill.
Haven't had a positive test since 27th Dec.

Symptoms:

Nausea in waves, excess salivation, sore breasts on and off, ewcm some days, others completry dry, dizzy spells, darkened nipples, mega metallic taste in my mouth, aversion to coffee (I'm a magazine editor and dribling coffee was my second career), mild back cramps, had stomach cramps and mild tugging behind belly button last week and week before... plus some I'm sure I've forgotten!!

Blood test taken on Monday came back negative.

Dr on duty said to cancel my midwife booking appointment. Midwife said she wasn't cancelling it and to call her on the 26th (2 days before the appointment) to tell her if I've bled etc and go from there...

Phew... what an essay! Lol!!

KatOnATinRo0f · 14/01/2016 23:14

Re Alan Rickman... I'm still mourning Bowie. Have been wearing my Ziggy Stardust Tshirt all week. (I bought it about 15 years ago. It has been in pyjama rotation for last few years but has now been brought firmly to top of best-clothes rotation again).
Alan Rickman was a good actor but I was never keen on the HP movies. I read the books and saw most of the films but wouldn't ever buy them on dvd or anything. Or any merchandise or whatnot. I could listen to Bowie all day (I have mostly when not at work)

LillianFullStop · 14/01/2016 23:19

i would ask the doctor for a scan choc just to see what's going on in there! It's baffling!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 14/01/2016 23:23

20th of Feb me kat please, Im out and a half or hemorrhaging Grin bring on cycle 2! I'm happy with that! Cheerful and full of happy at actually coming on! Grin Happy birthday to my little baby sis! Cheers! 🍸

Oh my goodness, so much to catch up on!

Age- 27
Cycle 2
6dpo
Still creamy CM and my boobs are mega painful. DH has been making fun of me because my nipples are literally rock solid. I feel like I should be entering some wet tshirt competitions with these beauties right now.

I've also just wandered round those house like a crazy person in search of a weird smell. Can't find the source and DH is looking afraid. Like I've been replaced by a crazed nipple monster.
