    I really think I need to stop being so obsessed with checking CM.

    I had a nightmare last night where I checked and it was bright green and blue.

    I'm going mad.

    I know I said I'd stay away until next week, but I just had to pop on to vent my frustrations. Yes, I've been symptom spotting, but won't mention any of that now!

    Just been texting SIL (who lives abroad) and she said she and BIL are thinking of trying for another baby. She has one from her first marriage and two with BIL. I was really surprised by this as I thought BIL had had the snip, but apparently it's BIL who wants another.

    There's a long history behind it, but BIL is not my favourite person. In fact, everything he does irritates me (he's DH's brother), so this has just really annoyed me today! Also, my MIL really doesn't want me to have any more children, but I just know she'll love it if my SIL has another!!

    Way to steal my thunder :mad:!!!!

    Right, rant over. I'm going to lurk again and carry on secretly symptom spotting.

    Again, to everyone who's had AF this week - BOO! To the BFPs - YAY!!

    I'll catch up properly next week.

    Afternoon ladies :)

    Inconclusive temp for me today after yesterdays mega dip, seems to have gone back up to where it was before. Hoping it's just a gradual rise and it will go up properly tomorrow! negative OPK last night as I'd expect on OV day. I'd forgotten how much waiting around there is for TTC, wait to OV, wait to see if you have actually OV'd, 2 week wait. zzzzzz! :rotfl:

    :rotfl: aileth you make me laugh so much!

    I might follow SMEP this month - I guess you only have to go "hard at it" (:rotfl) for a while so might be a good idea. OH has been told that his birthday will be spent in bed!

    I *may* have called AF too early. I had a pink/red spot, which I've never had before so automatically cried CD1. Not had it since but I'm seeing a bit of brown when I wipe, although this is usually accompanied by lots of CM and there isn't any today... I did a test and it's BFN so I'm just waiting her arrival. I just wish the cramps weren't here.

    Oh Jo, that sounds terrible :( I agree with Cuilean that we'll join you!
    I was driving behind a Krispy Kreme van earlier and thought of you guys :)

    mich I would be annoyed too. I'm actually annoyed of the possibility of my sister being pregnant before me, but she's not trying so I know it'll be me. It's not the competition of it, per say, but it winds me up that everyone classes her relationship as real as she's just got engaged and everyone has made a big deal about her moving house but said nothing when I did the same.

    My boss bought me a bottle of tequila from his holiday so I know what I'm on this weekend...is it weird that I'm still worried about drinking even though I know AF will be here in full flow later?

    Lulu, totally understand the worries. I'd have my salt and lemon on standby for as soon as she's in full flow, or alternatively if you've just had implantation bleed you can use the salt and lemon for a nice piece of fish :)

    Good advice :P

    Highly doubt it was implantation as I've not DTD for 2 weeks!

    If you're at all concerned, Lulu, I'm sure a few of us on here would be pleased to help you finish it ;)

    Go for it, I hate the stuff normally.

    It's blue! I've never seen blue tequila - is it flavoured or something?

    Maybe a premixed tequila cocktail? Either that or maybe he's using you as a crystal meth drug mule!!
