parsnips how lovely of you and I'm sure that man is desperate to see his daughter and wife, I really don't know anyone who wouldn't be. There isn't enough humanity in the workplace so ignore your boss, what you are doing is really kind and the world needs more kindness!

Redpony1 · 01/02/2017 13:36

I hope everyone gives what they can Parsnips, what a lovely person you are Star

I keep having a stabbing pain in my left breast, only breast tenderness is listed on symptoms to look out for, not full on feel like someones stabbing you, so i have no idea what that is! Had it last night too

Parsnips That is literally so lovely of you! It really annoys me when employers are not empathetic enough to understand what a whip around might actually mean to the person involved. Although so be prepared for the person to potentially not accept their gift. It's funny you mention the differnce in culture though. My DM and DF are in Dubai at the moment with their friends who have a maid/nanny and we are always very nice and overly generous to her as we are not desensitised to the fact this lady earns next to nothing for what she does and is always happy! However the family friends we stay with (they are also generous but not to our extent) are bemoused by our behavour around the maid as they are obviously used to her and the concept of a maid.

Oooo Red very very promising!!

So apparently DH has a sniffy cold and "may" not be up to dtd tonight... That Turkey Baster is looking more and more promising by the minute!

Omg i am still waiting for someone to cover my desk so i can go for a wee!! I have a water bottle here that will have to do as my pee pot

Red I've been having the stabby boob pains as well the last couple of weeks

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/02/2017 18:15

Confused did you manage to avoid an accident Grin

HeyJupiter · 01/02/2017 18:21

Ohh confused did you manage to aim into the bottle? We all need to do a Red and get some salad pots Grin

Parsnips that is so lovely, and a good and compassionate thing to do. You guys are great!

Red I get stabby boob pain just before AF so could be a promising sign.

Still loads of EWCM here. I thought it was oestrogen that caused it... but if so why isn't the CB kit picking up any oestrogen and still reading as low? So confusing. Maybe I'll go from high to peak much quicker this month. I'm not going to miss my LH surge so going to test twice a day from the first day of flashy faces (if they come!)

DancingUnicorn · 01/02/2017 18:27

Hope you made it confused!!

Ovia has annoyed me. She's busy telling me I'm on my period. I haven't entered that, I'm still bloody waiting for it! Gr 😡

HeyJupiter · 01/02/2017 18:29

Dancing aghh she's such a nightmare, she kept telling me that too. You have to manually take it off your daily log in page. She makes so many assumptions that woman/app/thing.

I had to go and get a cup from the water machine to pee in to then empty into the bottle... but the opk was negative so it was a waste anyway! Lol...

Jupiter sorry i should know this but how long have you been off hormonal contraception?

I have got some EWCM so still hoping for a miraculous peak tomorrow. DH deffo not in any state to be DTD tonight so thinking we might aswell call ourselves out for this month anyway!

Confused collectively we could all have an amazing book of ttc related anecdotes!!!

Mummyme87 · 01/02/2017 18:39

I'm hoping both my and OH illnesses have left by next week otherwise we won't be up for DTD either.

DS has been rather challenging today and OH is out for work drinks tonight so I have to do dinner bath and bed... I've bought a box of malteasers to make myself feel better 😂

HeyJupiter · 01/02/2017 18:43

confused I've been off the pill for years. Bit odd really but maybe oestrogen just not detectable yet. I have had to start a new pack of CB so the 'reader' doesn't know me as well as it did when I used the other one two months in a row if you see what I mean.

If you DTD tomorrow and next day you're still in with a really good chance!

buzzmoon · 01/02/2017 18:44

confused you are hilarious and definitely need to invest in a pee cup 😂

mummy maltesers sound perfect right now!!

I've given in to DP and he's ordered an Indian. Fml. It's so needed though

MrsC2017 · 01/02/2017 19:10

Oh I don't feel so bad now for buying a jumbo pack of mini eggs! Hump day gets us all! I am so blame as well, a sure sign AF is on the way I actually look like I'm pregnant!
confused hilarious 😂 I dropped my hairspray lid/wee pot down the toilet twice when I was OPKing this cycle! It's very difficult!
So glad January is over, now to pay all the bills Confused
mummy feel better and the Maltesers will help!
dancing ovia is pissing me off too, I enter one symptom and she says oooo maybe it's a baby making this happen, then I enter in another and she's like oh this is a common sign of AF!
jupiter hope you get the smiley faces soon!

MrsC2017 · 01/02/2017 19:23

Bloated not blame... Im going to proofread from now on

The worst part Buzz i have an amazing proper specimin cup that i use... it was at home with the opks!!

Dancing people have no idea to lengths us TTCs will go to!

Mummy you sound like you deserve those maltesers!

Hmm that is odd Jupiter and our last chances to dtd before going to my nans is tonight and tomorrow

Ahaha Mrs I have yet to do that one 😂!!! But i always drop things! I have gone through 3 make-up brushes which i have dropped in the toilet! I have also gone through about 5 mascaras when i drop the wands on the floor!

Also the one thing i want to drop my knickers i cannot because DH is faking the fucking man flu Angry... not that i am fuming annoyed or anything Grin

buzzmoon · 01/02/2017 19:43

Give him some night nurse so he sinks out and give it a little tug

buzzmoon · 01/02/2017 19:44

Actually new rant coming... why don't men ever listen?

I have explained so many times about the 5 fertile days... and the response i just got was why are you so bothered whenever we have sex now we can concieve. I actually think i speak another language. I just said no theres only 5 days... i then got the response i understand but its not like we need to have sex every 5 days Hmm

And so tonight... i am completely done with the world.. and officially feel like i should have never even mentioned TTC and should have been totally satisfied with just having a nephew
