.. the men bashing has had me in fits .

They never fail to amaze do they... men I mean. Again today we're in the milk aisle.

He says "Do you want full fat or semi skimmed"

I say "Full fat"

What does he do - totally ignores my choice and starts pulling the semi skimmed section to bits looking for the best date... I dont know why I bother having an opinion sometimes!!!

"What did you ask me?" I said
"Whether you wanted Full Fat or Semi Skimmed"
"And what was my answer?" I asked
"Full fat"
"So why are you searching the semi skimmed?"
"I really dont know..."

I give up........

Jodes you are so my kind of gal. We lived in Oz before our year here in se Asia , cant wait to get back . Spa treatments are super cheap here so I'm determined to get a few facials and massages in .I love that maternity label too
I know this would be a bad month to try , we leave here on the 18 th but I find it hard to let a cycle go by. Plus as stupid as it sounds I think I've figured out a few things about my cycle. Well dance every other night , I'll temp but only till o as I found the charting
post o increased my anxiety and use opks again. I'm lucky that all this will be pre move
then the ttw will be busy anyway. Then we can start the ball rolling with specialists in Oz , so nothing lost really. Also everything is being paid for , packers , a lovely apartment when we get there so it's not that stressful to be honest. We cant wait to get out of here and have moved so much were used to it.
Sorry rambling.
As for ewcm , I don't get a lot now , but found increasing fluids really helped and yes I drank grapefruit juice by the gallon.I've decided Im not sure about cough medicine so I'll give it a miss.
Hope your bearing up Junebug ?:hugs
I'm learning so much from you girls

I would love to visit Oz i've got some trailfinder vouchers from our wedding to use yet (yep we still haven't gone on honeymoon) we got married last August so coming close to a year now. With you being so busy moving now for the next month it wouldn't surprise me if you got pregnant then?! It sounds wonderful where your going to be living So if i increase my drinking and eat grapefruit my cm will increase? Thanks i will give that a go. I too am learning so much from you ladies.

By the way bubba i like rambling xx

 

[Jodes2011]

Thank you Jodes2011 but got the BFN this morning. I'm officially 3 days late now so until AF shows, there is still hope.

I was so sure it would be positive too! Had dreams of a positive test, which I never do!

Was just hoping I would know today whether I could drink over this long weekend or not. Maybe tomorrow.

Well don't give up hope just yet with Jude i was a week late before i got my BFP. I can tell you ladies all my pregnancies have been completely different and i got my BFP's at different times.

 

[Jodes2011]

What helped you determine to move this cycle to 32 days, not 28?

Hi I have just been trying to work out when I'm likely to get AF and if my OV date was off track, whether our BD dates still have us covered

The mild cramps I've had over the last 4 days have now stopped.

I do feel a bit tetchy today so whether that's the AF approaching or simply DH being a bl**dy nuisance in M&S I dont know
Twice we stopped and I said 'is there anything else we need to get'.

"No" he said. "Nothing"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely"

We must have stood in the queue for 15 bloomin minutes. We're served, pack and pay and as soon as we start to push the trolley away from the till its:

"Oh heck - we need foil, cheese and washing up liquid"

I mean which part of "is there anything else we need to get" did he not understand? He had the bloomin' shopping list in his pocket for crying out loud.

MEN!

M&S rocks. Food is yum yum!!!! I live in that store. I have a massive M&S just round the corner from me and it is lethal. I even know all the ladies on the tills by name. I get called 'the calm mum of 4 boys' not sure why?!

I can totally relate to the whole shopping experience with the hubby i never go with him otherwise we just end up arguing. He likes to be in and out as i like to stroll along.

 

[Jodes2011]

Dear goodness I'm away from BnB for a couple of days and this thread has gone crazy!!

Well AF is due tomorrow and so far I've resisted testing. I really think it's not my month and to be honest over the last week I've done just about everything you're not supposed to do if you're pregnant, so it may be better if it isn't my month... Anyway DH is away all day today with the boys, and I'm away all day tomorrow, so I'm not tempted to test as I'd prefer him to be here.

What about the other early testers??

Good luck for tomorrow. I'm testing on Tuesday when my as due

 

[Wendyk07]

Oh OK thanks! Wendy I think we're due to ovulate around the same time! Are you doing OPKs? I think I'll start doing them at day 12. My last cycle had a longer follicular phase than normal, I O'ed at day 20. I usually O day 16-17...

Im definately using opks because i will have no clue when i will Ov and i would need to anyway to follow SMEP. I think day 12 for me as well although we will from day 6 or 8.

 

[Indigo77]

Sarah...yep, today's temp should probably be discarded...long story...tbh...I still think I am out...I hope the quads are ok...

Jodie...I like Bubba ramblings, too....She should have her own thread called Bubba Ramblings and grace us all with a daily rambling....

DMom...I'm with you...I just sort of glaze over when shopping and end up complaining about how looooong we've been in the store....It really feels like hours to me....and I am always surprised at how long we've actually been shopping...DH is one of the few men that actually enjoys shopping and is good at it...

Indigo - I think your temps look great! Looking forward to seeing what they are like tomorrow! FX'd for you.

As for me - I started spotting today (8dpo). Urghhh.....I have had this each cycle since coming off the pill. I have been taking vit b50 complex but it doesn't seem to have helped (although my LP did lengthen). I think I am out TBH - I will probably get 3 days or so of spotting and then the witch will arrive

Thanks...but feels like AF is coming.

If you are out, at least it seems like you're cycle is settling.....you ovulated and will have a decent LP if AF shows up in 3 days.

 

[dachsundmom]

Indigo, have you had a nap yet and is your DH still in one piece? Lol

 

[Indigo77]

Indigo, have you had a nap yet and is your DH still in one piece? Lol

Yes, I had a nap and DH is still kicking....He is trying to be nice and keeping his head down....lol...

 

[struth]

Sometimes you just 'know', don't you? I hope (in a nice way!) that your feeling is wrong!

Thanks for your positive words - you are right, there are lots of positives to think of!

 

[Indigo77]

DMom....How are you feeling? Any side affects?

I am glad to hear it! I still have the thermometer ready if you need to borrow it!

 

[dachsundmom]

DMom....How are you feeling? Any side affects?

I honestly don't know. As I said earlier, I am not a very good sleeper, so I have frequent headaches and hit the wall in the afternoons anyway. I will need to remember to take the pills on food tomorrow.

However, I did make a Starbucks run this afternoon and it was wonderful!

Thank you for asking!

Hey Ladies,
I would like to join you in the July testing. I will be testing around July 9th... if I hold out that long. Anyways, I have a silly question. I am on cycle day 22 of 28. Anyways, I noticed about an hour ago that I had stretchy clear CM. I have never noticed it this late in my cycle. It is always between days 10 - 15. So here is the silly question. Can I be ovulation this late in my cycle? Just a bit confused. to all

Do you test or chart for OV?

 

[Indigo77]

There are women that get EWCM after ovulation.
Just in case, why not DTD?

I did before, but it just drove me crazy. I was obsessing over symptoms. Indigo, I was thinking that also.
