I know what you mean Rubles as we only just started this cycle, but I wasn't overly careful for the last month or so!! Unfortunately I don't seem to get preg that quickly.

rubles · 31/10/2005 09:21

I know what you mean, I am nervous of secondary infertility too...you think you have got over the worries of infertility when you have your first but no, secondary infertility raises its ugly head just to keep us on our toes and paranoid. I don't know what the incidence of it is, but it is probably rare (isn't it????)

I am not telling dp about any of my temping/CM checking/general ovulation obsession as I don't want to scare him. He is blissfully unaware of this madness in his midst.
I am not actually 'trying' yet, as we said we'd wait until November, but I got a bit impatient and have let one risky, sneaky bd occur this month, just to tempt fate and see what happens. I am soooo ready to be pregnant again.

Keep going Micku5 at least you will give yourself the best chance!

jersey · 31/10/2005 08:43

Thanks rubles bit paraniod as I've read so many stories of people not ovulating after first preg and pill that I'm prob scaring myself too much!!!!

Did get egg white last week but then (sorry TMI here) been bding alot and that sort of masks my CM, so not sure.

Keeping fingers crossed xxxxx

PS DH thinks I've gone mad with all this talk of CM and temps etc... Have to do all my taking on here instead!

Micku5 · 31/10/2005 08:37

Hi.. hope you all had a good weekend. I'm on CD15 but as I did not have a proper period i am really not sure. (All that pain for nothing)

My gp is going to refer me to the gynae for more tests etc but in the meantime dh and I will still be bding for the extra practice

rubles · 31/10/2005 08:37

Jersey,
In case you didn't know your temp goes up AFTER you have ov'd and by that time it is too late, so you could well be ovulating today but won't see the temp change until tomorrow. Best to keep an eye on your CM.
It sounds like you are giving yourself the best chance by bding in advance, because apparently the sperm can live for up to 5 days and it is good to have it there ready and waiting.

jersey · 31/10/2005 08:31

Hi on cd13 but no sign that Ive def ovulated yet as temp hasn't risen! Used to ovulate on day 13 previous to last preg. so fingers crossed it happens tomorrow. Been bding anyway so if it happens should have a good a chance as any.

Is this normal when you first come off the pill?

Fingers crossed for those waiting, thats the worst bit for me as so impatient!!

staceym11 · 30/10/2005 18:39

been quiet over weekend, hope all ok, on cd 22 so guess i just be waiting now still bding coz dh and i are tryin to be relaxed and forget about dates etc (or so he thinks) and makes him feel like it isnt on demand. feels kinda weird last few days tho, like he hitting against summit had this last month and was over a week late and doc said was prob early m/c so hopefully me beanie will stick this time!!! all s around here atm baby got her outfit for her halloween party and im delivering me avon bits tomo so will be getting lots of money in which is great! hehe!

anyway will stop nattering good luck and fingers crossed to everyone!!!!

Hi All

Welcome back to Charlee hope your move went ok & you are enjoying life in a new country.

Jen Hope you & your Bump are well.

I've got a scan on Monday because of the stitch pains i've been getting the last few months. Hopefully it will just be scar tissue or something like that. AF due on Wed i think not much chance this month as bd late. No symtoms either.

I wish lots of luck to those coming up to testing & happy bding to those coming up to ov

Take Care & have a Good Weekend
J

jersey · 28/10/2005 08:45

Thanks Micku5 think I am fertile for next few days. Typical next few days are in a caravan with the inlaws!!!!!

Micku5 · 28/10/2005 08:42

Hi Jersery, I hope this site helps .

jersey · 28/10/2005 08:37

Can anyone confirm CM signs for me? On CD10 and this morning have CM that looks like raw egg white (sorry TMI), does this mean I should ovulate soon? Temp has risen very slightly, not enough for ovulation rise. Unfortunately been up most of the night with a screaming child so that could have messed up my temps!

Charlee · 27/10/2005 21:02

Hi god i havent posted here for so long im sure only a few of you remember me! but i have been lurking and watching you all! still nothing exciting on the baby front here. good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

jane313 · 27/10/2005 20:57

I got a smiley face on my opk on day 12 and the next months on day 14 (it means you are supposed to ovulate within the next 24-48 or maybe 36 hrs) so varies each month.

af due on mon or tues so am over anaylsing every twinge in my body.

JAG123 · 27/10/2005 19:49

Going to need the luck Stacey Thanks.

Norms - about day 14 i think but everyone is so different. Don't forget that the sperm can live for a few days too.

oh jag good luck with the birthday party, my heart gos out to you! lol

so what exactly are you supposed to do with the cough mixture???

im bored dh watching football, just been sitting planning our move for next year! hehe i so excited, will be so nice to have a place of our own.

JAG123 · 26/10/2005 19:14

Hi all CD19 here & into the 2ww also bd late so probably not much chance.

Had my reflexology on Sat. The lady who does it is a Breast Care Nurse but she used be a Fertility Nurse, She said that she had never heard of using Grapefruit (although i have noticed a diff) but apparently Benilyn Cough Mixture had been reported by ladies when she used to measure their cm. Will try that next month.

Bit busy this week with half term & i'm taking over from Stacey in the Birthday Party Organising. It DD's on Sun but she is having a party on Sat for about 50 5 year olds.

Sorry for all those who have had AFs arrive.

Take Care
J

Artoo · 26/10/2005 16:28

I'm CD7, looks like I'm going to be fertile this month whilst we're on the plane to Florida, so this might be another write-off month (I don't really fancy joining the Mile-High club!). Ordered some more OPKs yesterday so I have a nice large stock

Hugs,
Artoo.

staceym11 · 26/10/2005 16:17
