    Yeah I do...there were two options. Explode and say things I'll regret or rant on here! I figured this was the lesser of 2 evils! ha ha

    Hi Everyone,

    Hope you are all ok :-).

    I got a positive on my clearblue ov test stick and my fertility monitor yesterday morning (I am using both)...
    No change in cm or temp though??

    This morning I got a positive on the monitor but not the other one....what does that mean? i looked at the lines and the monitor one looked stronger.

    How long after getting a positive do you ovulate...is it between 12-36 hours?

    Thanks

    Hi Greenr, it can feel like your hormones are all over the place - but I don't think TTC really causes it, but maybe the stress that goes with it can alter things slightly!

    Twinklie, oh dear that does sound like a right old family stonker of an argument brewing... but if I take a look from the other side, lets put it like this: if you were given the house, you would feel very much tied to it (and the in-laws) and it would be far, far harder to then emigrate as the family would probably make you feel guilty for it! I personally would be grateful they hadn't asked me and would instead be asking for a donation to the emigration fund instead! Guilt can work both ways - so use it to your advantage when the time is right!

    ;););););)

    So, good morning all! I'm up and tidying, changing the bed and generally keeping busy while it is tipping down with rain outside.Off now to check FB group, x

    Moneyangel - yes it average 12-36 hours after a positive OV test - but you didn't do that one in the morning, did you? OPK for the afternoon wee, CBFM for first morning wee.

    If your CBFM has risen to high (not peak) then you know your hormones are gearing up to OV but aren't quite there yet, so get BDing!

    If your CBFM is showing a peak and you still have very little CM, still get BDing but consider introducing additional sperm-safe lubrication, such as the Pre Seed to help those swimmers along, x

    Morning all. Another bad night sleep for me. I fell asleep on the couch about 10:30, Alex woke me up at 11 and I went to bed. I was in there for 15 minutes and the beeping beeping beeps from next door started kicking off.......idiots! Been waking up every hour on the hour and eventually got up just before 8. Think I'm going to have a nap later on as I can feel my eyes are really heavy already.

    Got the flat to myself as well as OH has gone for his group thingy to help him get his SIA license.

    Got a bit disheartened this morning as I'm on CD28 and I has a little spot of pink blood when I got up. I'm still feeling as rough as a dog so I'll wait and see what comes of this


    Sorry to rant, I'm just not feeling my usual chirpy self this morning :(

    It's always the same with them next door. We've got a fire door separating us from the stairs and when they leave their flat, their front door slams, then the fire door slams. Last night there was a young girls voice screaming at the top of her lungs. If I hadn't been so tired I think I would have got up and punched her in the mouth!!
