    I took two paracetamol and felt no better but now hubby is home form work and dd is in bed I seem to be starting to.
    QQ can you put me down on the testing list for the 25th please, I will try and hold out that long if the witch doesn't get me first, I'll be 15DPO by then.

    If you go for a wee and the colour on the tissue is slightly dark (like it would be if AF was on it's way) but there is no 'colour' in your knicks, is that considered spotting?!?
    Yep, anything on tissue is spotting, brown, pink or red;)

    I have great PMA today! I am 10 dpo and it's the first month I've known when I ov'd, so I don't think I have to worry about a short lutial phase. Yay!
    Great!:j
    Can I ask a tmi question? When checking cm, how much needs to be present to be worth recording? The past few days I've been having a furkle, and it's gone from being plenty to just what I get under my nail (sorry!). It's still lotion like at the mo, but had tiny hair sized brown blood yesterday. Cramping feeling has gone, as has my bad mood! Think AF will show tonight.
    Anything that's more than normal is worth recording I think. 'Normal' differs from person to person:)

    is there anything we can do to increase CM??
    Drinking plenty of fluid is always good (same goes for OH/DH's swimmers), and grapefruit juice or Robitussin Cough syrup (without decongestant) are known to increase cm. I usually take them from about a week before ov is due:cool:

    Taking decongestant will dry up your cm:o

    Hi Smash
    I am 6 PDO (I think) I am hoping that it's in a good cause, I certainly raise my mothers eye brows when I mentioned a metaliccy taste (she doesn't know about us ttc!!)
    I shall take some paracetamol and see if I feel better.
    Some implant at 6DPO:cool:

    well my relaxed approach is going very well, i forgot to do an OPK today and I'm very chilled out.
    My relaxed approach is relaxing too:o

    Thanks hon. Have been doing a bit of googling on this tonight. Can you believe there's a website called cerviaclmucus.org???? :rotfl:
    :rotfl:
    Good tips though, thanks:cool:
    Have had some spotting tonight and a wee cry - the biggest giveaway for me that AF is tomorrow, I always cry the night before for some reason. So reckon its over for this cycle. Looks like it could be a 2012 bubba for us. Will update more 2mo.
    (((Hugs))), hope it's not AF:o
    But 2012 has a good ring to it too, Olympics and all that:cool:

    :eek: omg i did not know this, i take ibuprofen and nurofen all the time for headaches! I cant take paracetamol it gives me bad tummy, dammit

    You can get a prescription to help with the bad tummy (I get the same prob if I have to take Ibuprofen for more than a day), but I'm not sure if that would also be bad for TTC/baby.

    Morning ladies!!
    I have attempted to post a few times this morning but keep getting side-tracked with work :p

    I had a funny turn yesterday (for about 10 minutes) where I felt a little bit light headed and 'different.' I can't explain it, I just didn't feel right and I had the 'spotting' earlier on so, it started me thinking... I was going to post and ask whether anyone thought I had ov'd last week and my temps just hadn't shifted dramatically; and then this morning, FF confirmed what I predicted! :cool: I know it is only a machine but, it's weird that I was going to ask you ladies your thoughts on my ov day.

    I guess only time will tell... My AF is due on Sunday (10 day LP)

    QQ - (sorry to keep asking you to change things) please can you change me to 8DPO when you get a sec? thanks xx

    Smash xx

    Morning everyone.

    CD 25 (21-28) for me and11 dpo. My furckling found brown tinged creamy cm, so the witch is making slow progress. I've no other AF symptoms apart from a bubbly feeling which usually means she's on her. Way..
    Think I'll try grapefruit juice next month.

    How you folks doing?

    Brown tinged cm sounds good for 11dpo, fingers crossed:)

    Had a stinking horrible cold in hawaii and very upset tummy in vegas (still recovering)

    Im 16 days past my due date, now i dont know if this is because of just coming off the pill in december or from being ill etc, but do u guys think i shud test anyway? Ive lost weight from sickness so doubt i am pregnant but wanted to get some advice. thanks xx
