Hello everyone

After two bites at the July Bus I'd like to join the August Bus... hope that is ok :)

Quick bit about me... I have a wonderful two year old boy and have been trying to concieve No2 for a year now. In that year we've had an ectopic and a miscarriage at 13 weeks but we're now trying again.

Button, sorry to hear about the job. It's a horrible thing to go through.

We've now made the official announcement re the engagement so I can shout it from the rooftops if I want to :)

I'm fairly sure I have passed ovulation, so I reckon am in my 2WW, gah, feeling a bit over emotional at the moment and trying not to think of when the 'window' may fall next month, I am trying not to get my hopes up too high for this month as I am going to be disappointed enough without building myself up if that makes any sense at all.

Morning all, WhyWait have updated your stats.

Sorry to hear about redudancies, I went through it last year, so know how horrible it is, especially the not knowing, but fingers crossed for you all that things pick up soon!

Am all done with this months serious SWIing and now just waiting to see if our old friend AF turns up, still making loads of goodies for xmas at the moment so got plenty to keep me occupied!

ravenlocks · 15/11/2010 22:26

Ah. No not gone a-hunting for it! I will give that a go next cycle, tee hee.

GetDownYouWillFall · 15/11/2010 21:17

ravenlocks I don't get much visible on the outside, but have you tried, ummm, reaching inside?

FWIW when I got pregnant with DD I didn't seem to have any EWCM at all, and it still happened, so obviously it's possible.

ravenlocks · 15/11/2010 21:15

Eeeek, you guys are talking alot about EWCM. I seriously do not get any. Has anyone who has got that book that is much talked about on here know what it says about EWCM and whether it is full on necessary for conception?

I do the grapefuit juice thing already, but not given EPO a go yet.

GetDownYouWillFall · 15/11/2010 20:19

yes Klou it's supposed to be soft, high and open when you are fertile.

Mine had been one of the 3 for about 2 weeks but never all 3 at the same time!!

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 18:57

Sorry button about your DH's job, not sorry if it is your month though :) Think positive thoughts, it'll all come together.

Getdown is it firm if you're not ovulating and soft if you are? Another thing to learn Confused

GetDownYouWillFall · 15/11/2010 18:38

Oh buttonmoon so sorry to hear about your DH's job Sad Have they given much notice? Hope he gets some redundancy money to tide you over.

I can't decide if I've got EWCM - it's stretchy but not clear, more creamy really. I am so confused - cervix feels open, but still firm. Don't know what's going on. Confused

buttonmoon78 · 15/11/2010 18:32

That's exactly what I thought - a little bit ironic in the immortal words of Alanis Morrisette!

CMD83 · 15/11/2010 18:25

button [shocked] So sorry, that would be ironic though! Keep you head up and think positive. Only words i know but it's been keeping me going the last two months x

buttonmoon78 · 15/11/2010 18:12

Grin at 'lurking' ewcm!

Am thinking this will be my month. Only because DH has just got home and told me he's lost his 'safe' job.

Sad and [frightened emoticon]

CMD83 · 15/11/2010 15:58

LOL klou
Button I just saw your post, It's very strange, my only guess is that its been lurking up there and that's the last of it?!!
On the SS front breasts are tender today they are always first to show signs , going from my last two pregs anyway! And also been quite crampy?

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 15:51

Just been to get grapefruit juice and they had ran out!!!!! Can't believe it!! Lots of TTC-ers where I live perhaps?

Not tried it yet, the EWCM came on it's own. Fingers well and truely x-ed.

Hopefully all goes well with you greeneyes. You never know, you may fall now you're this close to your appt. Hope is good news for you this month, and to everyone TTC August.

Don't start saying now you've got funny EWCM you 2, I've only just got my head around getting it, don't go confusing me even more lol!!

Greeneyesbigbottom · 15/11/2010 14:38

Can I join you please?

Greeneyesbigbottom TTC#1 Cycle 16 UCL26-7 AF Due around 10-12 Dec

Another babyfail month, another blood test to look forward to, another pregnancy announcement no doubt, another 2 weeks building up hope, another 2 weeks obsessing about every twinge and imaginary symptom, another babyfail.......

Have fertility appt in December and really feel like cancelling it and giving up.

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you! I hope this is a bumper BFP month x

buttonmoon78 · 15/11/2010 14:25

Yes CMD - me!

Had ewcm Mon-Wed then again yesterday. All v odd.

CMD83 · 15/11/2010 13:58

Very confused? I had more EWCM today not had any since Thurs/Fri? Anyone else had this happen? Good luck for all the testers this week x

Great news KLou11 ! Were you guzzling the grapefruit juice this month?

I think I've got some too - it's stretchy but still quite creamy Confused - is that fertile, or not?

KLou111 · 15/11/2010 10:11

I'VE GOT EWCM!!!!!!!!!! It's only a tiny bit, but it's definitely there!!!!!! Bring on the OV!!

Have a great day ladies x

ddas · 15/11/2010 06:54

Good luck to all those testing today!!!

queenrollo · 14/11/2010 22:19

evening all.

well this herbal stuff has made a big difference to my AF, won't give you the gory details but it's more like it was in the two years after DS was born. Going back on the pill really messed up my body.

Congrats 100years DP and i got engaged months ago but as his divorce hadn't come through at that point we waited until it did until telling the whole world.
We've got an appt at the registry office this week to set a date for the wedding Smile

I really, really want a BFP this month. I've been disappointed every cycle so far when i got BFN or AF arrived but somehow this month my emotions have really kicked in and the 'what will be will be' attitude has deserted me and I am determined that this month will be my month........
