EWCM? BBT? OPK? WTF?! We’re just not using contraception!

[frakkinaround]

So a slightly lighter and less scary thread for those who are chucking away the pills and the condoms and hoping for the best!

In my drawer. Already I'm getting ditsier.

Right. I am the world's biggest idiot. Having posted this and checked back, the line has gone. It is now whiter where the line was than the rest of the test.

Bloody hell. Let this be a lesson to us! POAS is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, lines do disappear on tests. But it might have been an evaporation line.

Do a digital one if you're not sure. Which you're probably not...I wouldn't be.

I can't believe I'm telling you to POAs.

Thanks frakkit, I'll do a digital just to be sure. It may well have been an evaporation. I had left it 5 minutes (it says 3-10) and I guess it was probably after the 10 that it disappeared, so perhaps I just checked too early. This is why I need this thread - I'm not even capable of P'ingOAS properly! I am a pathological JSer...

Cripes takethat, that uncertainty would be killing me. frakkit's reluctant advice sounds good - at least you'll know one way or another?

Good lord NewMrsCharles! 6?! Bugger me with a bunch of bananas, that sounds a bit painful. Glad it's got your DH rising to the occasion though ;) I'm just hoping we can keep up the once-a-day action once the work week gets going properly [hmmm]

Ah yes, I too remember that ever so useful tidbit frakkit. Here's hoping my immunity is nicely under wraps! ;)

Thanks for the cheer milanomum! I can see mmyself needing it as time goes on. For now, I'm loving all the action though.

Bli'me! I leave you alone for 2 mins and we got a BFP!

I don't believe in the evapouration line business. When I got/get BFNs there is no hint of a line at all, at any stage. So I say, a line is a line! I reckon you are preggers!

Missed that bit, 6 times a day?! One would have to spend the day with a matress straped to ones back! Unfathomable!

Omg & feck -takethat could be.... I'd do a digital test tomorrow morning if I were u.... If u can wait that long if course!! Fingers (& everything else!) crossed for u!!

Called dr's today to make appt-said they could see me today -nearly fell of my chair -I'm still trying to get used to the news!! Told th it was still early days so now have appt for next mon-DH has casually invited himself along to that-don't think there's gonna be any stopping him now!!

Told sis, best friend & SIL (mw) -so feel a wee bit relieved. See what happens after doc appt now.

This thread is well exciting!!

Hi granny! Sounds like your DH is excited,too! Don't know how you can stand to wait until next Monday though. I'm too impatient for words.

Just bought a double pack of digital Clearblue - did one (only 90 minutes after last wee though (TMI?)) and it said not pregnant. I'll do the other one tomorrow morning just in case but I'm pretty sure I'm not. I've been googling around and it seems to happen to a lot of people and it can go either way (I think either you've got very low HcG levels and so it only shows up when the urine is most concentrated around that line, and vanishes again once it has settled across the entire stick, or you're not pregnant and it's just an evap line or an anomaly with the test or something. All the websites of the tests say it's probably a negative). Mine definitely occurred after the urine had travelled through the whole test, because the control line was dark and red, so I guess there's a bit of hope - but I'm pretty sure it's a false alarm.

Feel a bit less silly, at least, now that I see it happens quite a bit!

How is everybody else doing?

Blimey - what a morning! The excitement of this thread is certainly keeping me awake post nights!!

Takethat - what a confusing morning you're having. Am sitting here with reserved excitement and heaps and heaps of optimism for you. Testing with digital tomorrow morning would be most ideal, although if it were me I know I would test tonight as well (having made an effort to save up a good wee!!! )

Loved your line about telling the thread before telling anyone 'real'!

almost - good guess, I am indeed in the medical profession; we must share the same nhs worldly weariness!! And being in the medical profession, I feel qualified enough to inform you that buggering with a big bunch of bananas is never gonna get you preggers!!! Not even if that was 6 times!

By the way, I'm confused - who's had a name change? I can't keep up!

Good luck takethat - thinking of you!x

Off to dust off the JS cape, begins again tonight (but not 6 times!!)

Awh takethat waht a morning for you!

I had my blood test this morning (results next Monday - well I have to call the docs and then my guess is make ANOTHER appt to go in to see them). Also made an appt for an ultra sound on 23rd June. Done a bit of reading on this and it sounds 'delightful'. It isn't like a baby scan type one i.e. a probe thing over the uterus. It is that plus a probe thing inserted (I am not actually confused by this it is actually th face I will be making throughout the procedure!). Noice!

Damn my body! CD77 if we are still counting these things!

I'd heard the digital ones weren't that sensitive takethat. Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning.

Will the person who changed their name please give us a little wave? We're confused!

Poor you vallinna. I guess at least something is happening. Do you get a photo for the mantle piece? Could insert a cheap joke about dildo-cam, but not sure that would be helpful

Oh and it just gets better!

I've just worked out (counting only!) that my fertile days are Tuesday-ish to Thurday ish next week; when I'm supposed to be staying away with work! The other option is that I do 8-10 hours each day and 3 hours drive at both ends of the day.

As I said, it just keeps getting better!

Thanks ladies. vallinna you are pretty amazing - can you lend me a bit of your fortitude? I'm a wreck over here! (Haven't been to the loo or had a drink for hours. Reckon I can hold on till 9pm and test then...)

Dildo-cam. Lol.

Ha ha gormers. None of you are real. You're weird figments of my imagination. I reckon you're all nothing more than strangely computer-savvy phallic symbols, in fact, standing in for my barely-repressed desire to get shagging!

brassica LOL - this thread is all about the cheap jokes and dildo-cams! Once the sense of humour goes we are in trouble. Do you think I should ask for a pic and then post it as my Facebook profile picture like the pregnant ladies do?! LOLs, I can imagine people going "ummmm, can't see a baby' and then the shock at 'That's right, ladies and gents, this is my uterus...ohhh, and if you look there, there are it's little fallopian tubes'

Sorry about the fertile days - if you are like me you probably seriously considered doing the drive!! DH was really sick last week (manflu) and I still pounced on him on Friday (not that I have a clue about days any longer!) - sometimes even the JS-ing gets you a bit crazy!

Hello all.

Can someone pass me a JSing cape? Think I need one over here...

(Or on second thoughts, I'm not sure I want to borrow one of those that's second-hand, so just let me know where you buy yours....!?)

Day 28 here, and regular as clockwork, Auntie Flow comes to visit. Grumble grumble.

Seeing as our shagging days seem kind of limited at the minute, what with us both being insanely busy, I'm contemplating an ovulation prediction kit. Talk me in/out of it ladies.... On the other hand, I could buy some really nice shoes with that 40 quid...

Hee hee gormers. I think I remember that much from university, tho it was some time ago now, and much time was spent hungover dozing in lectures.

PSML at the dildo-cam photos as facebook status. Just perfect, I think. Rubbish at the need for all the needles and probes vallinnapod, but at least it means progress of some sort? [hopeful emoticon]

Fingers and everything crossed for you takethat! Funnily enough, I find I quite like being a computerised phallic symbol. Not sure what that says about me.

And your excitement is lovely Granny. How did the appointment at the doctor's go today?

Rubbish about the fertile period Brassica. Maybe your DH could courier some jizz and a turkey baster to you? (Maybe not... trying to be helpful...)

30 I vote fuck-me shoes. But then again, I'm a shoe whore. (And bollocks to the ERTD.)

lol @ 30 not fancying a second hand shag-cape!

Thanks for the tips almost, think I'll pass though..!

Will check in later to see if takethat managed to POAS before wetting herself

Oooh and we just made it to the "most active threads" list...

ERTD?

My bad. I meant period. Meh, clearly I'm doing waaaaaay too much MN lurking!

Which is to say that I nicked the terminology from another thread I hang about. And it's clearly my own fault when I get terrified (and confused) by all the TTC craziness out there.

No sheepishness needed!

I am defo up for some fuck me shoes to go with my new fuck me boots to mix it up a little,.

Althought have been planning on having the marina out for months and Wednesday is the day im suddenly a little nervous!

Good luck Takethat!

(EX. NewMrsCharles feeling alittle more liberated with my new title!)

at you all - bananas, shoes... whatever next? a penis, perhaps? ;)

wonders if takethat has any news?* 30 I hand-stitched my shag cape from some slinky nighties, lacy undies and ... a rubber chicken.
