  • I hope you shift your cloud soon tinkwings and good luck for tomorrow (well I suppose it's today now!) mv. :)

    Duo have emailed me to say they think I've ovulated (I think they're going to say around CD26) but need a few days more data to tell me exactly when. FF still hasn't moved my ov day from cd20 though and that's when I had ewcm... (and also the day that my sleep pattern went out of the window...)

    I suppose if Duo is right and FF/ewcm are wrong then I've gone and cocked up my 'day 21' bloods which I had taken on Monday.... Pffff. If you'd like to add me on FF I'm under the same user name as on here.

    Here's my latest chart

    Does your chart change if you take away the Ewcm for those two days?
    I am sure you did have Ewcm but your body could have geared up to ov and then changed its mind.

    Tinks - So sorry you are feeling down I hope those clouds blow away soon.

    MV - Good Luck!

    Hugs for the cd1 ladies.

    afm. I have NO energy today at all. Did not sleep very well last night and my tummy sounds like a science experiment gurgling away. Better get back to work, might need a nap later:p
  • All is fine for me for now.

    Thanks for your support, and good luck to everyone.

    i wanna save money! - My mom is a year older than one of her uncles, so there shouldn't be a problem. If it were me, I'd tell him honestly to get over it. Ok, maybe that wouldn't be the best approach. Have you spoken to him about how this has made you feel? If not, that's where I would start. Hopefully some of the other wonderful ladies on this thread will chime in soon and good luck! :)

    Hi wannasave, sorry you're feeling so down right now and I'm sorry for your losses. :( I hope that your OH's change of mind is just a reaction to the shock, maybe with a little time to process it he'll come back round. :)

    Nowadays there are so many families where a child's aunt/uncle can be younger than they are due to people re-marrying (or just carrying on!) after having their first children young and having more babies whilst their oldest children start having babies too, unfortunately some are having babies whilst still in their teens thus closing the gap even more. There are women in their 40s having babies and it is perfectly possible that a woman could have a child who is in their mid-20s as well as a baby so there's possibility of an overlap between children and grandchildren if her children were to begin young also. Whenever these massive families of a dozen kids are in the papers there are a couple of grandkids thrown into the mix too just to illustrate how it can happen! :)

    I think part of the problem here lies in that people seem too keen to breed from an early age and we need to re-open the generational gap but that isn't going to happen so we just have to realise that things aren't as easy as having the nuclear family any more! :)

    Sorry if that's a little waffly or offensive to anyone, I'm not great with getting my point across very well! :o

    Kind of OT but I find the thought of a 32 year old grandmother seriously scary! :eek:

    Also, jumping on the weight loss band wagon with you lot. I weighed myself this morning and was shocked. So shocked I cried. I knew I'd put on a bit but jesus...talk about porky pig.

    So, it's started today. Along with not biting my nails anymore. I tend to work best when I crash diet...mainly because I end up sticking to it and I need to see fast results or else I become disheartened. I'm currently tucking into a slimfast shake made with water (not milk) and done in the blender with extra ice. It's actually very pleasant.

    I'm also going to cut out carbs because I eat a lot of them. I'm quite happy to post my weight loss figure each week. It'll probably help keep me motivated. Yeah!

    Wanna save - huge hugs xx
    Not really sure what to advise etc, but my parents split and I was 23 when my mum had my little brother. Realistically I could have had a couple of children by then, and some people even thought he was mine or my sisters....
    Maybe give him a day or two to come to terms with it and then have a talk with him. As others have said it's not so unusual nowadays xx
