Hey all,

Cd23 here...this one feels like a very long one. No positive opk yet but because of work I've found them quite difficult to do at a sensible time! Ovia recons this should be my fertile week tho so going to try and dtd tonight...

Having a manic week and absolutely knackered so weight loss isn't top of my agenda this week. I haven't lost any weight yet but starting to feel much healthier from eating better which is good.

DH wants to start hiking and so we're going to go for a big walk on Sunday my only day off and really just want to stay in my pj's all day but feel I have to do something supportive/productive😭

Fx for mummy!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 08:59

Morning ladies. CD31 post pill. Lots of watery/lotion like CM. so much I thought it was AF when I felt it come out. Checked cervix think medium / high, firm, closed, posterior. Terribly weepy. Nipples still sensitive.

BFN this morning on a pink dye test.

FYI - and not to dash your hopes mummy as you had an obvious line, but I did a SAINSBURYS blue dye test last night which is NOT an early test and I thought I saw a shadow of a vertical line so I actually took the test apart and there was a clear, thin, sharp blue line!! It looks like those tests have a preset positive line that the dye then sticks to more to create a thick line iyswim. Sorry I didn't take a pic! I have another one so will try again at weekend and show you all. Very bad manufacturing if that is indeed the case!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 09:00

Tempted to take the unused test apart to see if that line is already there Angry

Redpony1 · 26/01/2017 09:09

Morning everyone!

I thought i had started AF in the middle of the night, but i hadn't, just wetness. I hate not knowing what is going on!!

grumpy have you tried a different test recently if the sainsburys one did that?!

seven you'll may actually feel really good after a long walk, relaxed and refreshed - i always do after a long run!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 09:16

Yes red I did a pink dye 10miu sensitivity test this morning and was negative. 95 per cent sure I'm not pregnant at this point.

Redpony1 · 26/01/2017 09:28

Frustrating isn't it Sad

I am feeling really strange but i think it's the remains of the short horrible stinking cold i had

Redpony1 · 26/01/2017 12:50

Ohhhhh is my OPK positive today?

Hello ladies (it's me - theres, I've had a little name change). How is everyone doing? My weekend officially begins in just over an hour. Can't wait to be off - going to have a big lie in.

Thought AF was here yesterday but was a false alarm.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 12:58

Red the line on the left looks darker for sure

Tigger83 · 26/01/2017 13:34

I've got the dreaded lurggy Sadcouldn't sleep finally drifted off around 2:30 then the fing smoke alarm went off at 4:15!!!! Managed about 3/4 hrs in total.

On a positive note cleared loads of my work emails and sorted stuff on my to do list while I couldn't sleep so means I can have an easier day today.

Want to be better by this weekend as we have friends to stay- felt under the weather for weeks (I put it down to pg symptoms Hmmevidently I just had a bug)

Tigger83 · 26/01/2017 13:35

Red I would say defo ovulation get baby making!!!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 26/01/2017 13:36

Oh tigger I hope you feel better soon. How annoying being woken so early!

I def think that OPK looks positive! You know what to do!

Redpony1 · 26/01/2017 13:43

woohooo!!! Grin

Hope you feel better Tigger the lurgy is horrible Sad

FineWords enjoy your lay in, everyone deserves one at times Smile

Hey ladies sorry I have been away for a few days... Just felt really down (Must be sugar withdrawal!)

Red I think you are almost there...I would take one this evening just to make sure! Also make sure you get a BD in for the next 2 days also and not just today!

I used my first CBD OPK today... It is very very odd and I am not sure if I just prefer my IC OPKS. OV Day should be next Friday. I have told DH to be ready Tues, Weds, Thurs for BD as we are at my nans for Fri, Sat and Sun and don't fancy BD there! lol... Unless I can get him to agree to floor BD like teenagers again! lol

Red I think you're almost there wohoo exciting!

Grumpy - the tesco tests are exactly the same. I had a fleeting skinny blue line when I tested last weekend which then disappeared. I'm definitely not pregnant so must just be a feature of the way the test is made.

Confused sorry to hear you've been feeling low. Is it the arsehole ex again? Maybe it is sugar withdrawal! Anyway hope you're feeling a bit brighter now.

Finewords love the new name! Grin

All good here, CD3, this month is dragging already hmmm...

MrsC2017 · 26/01/2017 20:08

parsnips love the new name!
confused haha bd on the floor.. That takes me back! Grin
red eek something is definitely afoot!
tigger feel better, load up on vitamin C!
seven enjoy hiking! I love it, it's therapeutic and social, pretty much the only exercise I like!
CD 20 today.... CD21 Tomorrow, having day 21 bloods done in the morning even though I'm not 7dpo I'll be only 5 but from googling I think it'll be ok! Dreading the needles! Not a sniff of a fake symptom to spot, even ovia isn't bothered to excite me with her annoying tidbits!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 20:33

Mrs what are you having bloods done for?

MrsC2017 · 26/01/2017 20:44

Told doc last month I was ttc and she suggested getting them done to check all was OK re hormone levels etc even though no reason why it shouldn't be, and checking for any vitamin deficiencies, thyroid etc as hadn't had bloods done in years so she said it was as well to get them done!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 26/01/2017 21:01

Ladies do you think there's something weird about this - DH was out at a work do this eve. Is now home and asleep. He has a work colleague that we have argued about in the past - just a bit overfamiliar the two of them and he knows im not that comfortable with her. Anyway he has wiped their WhatsApp chats completely (all his other convos are there but nothing from her). I know they message regularly so that's weird no? I think I'll ask him tomorrow as he is drink tonight. We both regularly use each other's phone (we have an open phone policy you might say) so he knows I would look at his chats. He looks at mine on occasion too - I'm fine as nothing to hide. It's bugging me!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 21:11

Parsnips that would bug me too. If he is feeling the need to hide the chats they might be a little too flirty

TheGrumpySquirrel · 26/01/2017 21:12

Nip this in the bud now if you can

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 26/01/2017 21:19

False alarm. I managed to retrieve his chat history and there are no messages since 17 December which was just stuff about new year parties. I am just being a paranoid dick. Bit uncomfortable with the deletion though. Will ask him tomorrow.

HeyJupiter · 26/01/2017 21:23

Parsnips yes, ask him tomorrow. Perfectly reasonable question if you have open-phone policy. Maybe she got too flirty so he deleted it. Doesn't mean he was reciprocating. Or maybe he did go a little too far, felt crap and closed it down. Nip in bud as grumpy says.

HeyJupiter · 26/01/2017 21:23

Oops cross post! Glad all okay :)
