    I'm liking the bit in bold above :) - I've heard it said that women can "drink until it's pink" (i.e. until they get a positive pregnancy test). I have a work do this week, so it'll be nice to have a glass of wine and not have to deal with any "why are you not drinking?" type questions.

    Same! I have been nauseous and sick at work the last two mornings (no idea why - over tired maybe?) and everyone at work thinks I am pregnant. And when I try to insist I am not, they just say "oh of course you're not..,nudge nudge wink wink!" It is so annoying, particularly when I wish they were right. If I then went out and didn't drink, they would start knitting booties!

    Still no ewcm and no temp rise or anything like that...CD16 :( Hope I am not in for a ridiculously long cycle.

    Does anyone who knows about all this stuff have any idea why I would have very very watery cm for days on end but no ewcm? FF reckons that watery means you are fertile. It is so watery I need to wear a liner almost, but it is not becoming egg white. Argh, I said I was going to stop stressing and obsessing....how do you do it?!

    Lilmiss sounds hopeful.are you pretty reg nornally? If it were me i would test.good luck.
  • Lilmissmup I was 2 days late last month and wasted 2 tests so I know what you mean but I had nausea and boob pain which I never got before so definitely thought I was pregnant. I would wait a couple of days if you can before testing although I know how hard that is lol. Do you have any other symptoms?

    The tests I bought yesterday have been put in DHs bedside table with strict instructions to only give me one when I'm at least a week late.

    Alioops I had exactly the same thing a few months ago and was convinced I was pg. Also wasted two tests! That said, I would rather test and know than have false hope iykwim - obviously we're all different though!

    Lilmiss have my fingers crossed for you - would be lovely timing just before your appt. When do you think you will test?

    Does anyone know why the cbfm wants to use the first urine of the day, but for OPKs it has to be in the afternoon?

    Neg opk again :( no ewcm. CD17. Will I ever ovulate?

    Good luck lilmiss, hope your body is not playing tricks

    Daisiegg know what you mean - the opks are still showing a faint line for me, so am thinking that I either missed it, the tests are faulty, or my cycle is going to be extra long this month
