we've got drawers in our kitchen table so i put my vits in there so they are handy.
Its making me Grin how many of us will now rush ut and buy vit b complex.

I have a question about ewcm if i may. I use ov sticks (when i remember) which show up the surge in hormones before you ovulate. I also get ewcm. How long after the surge in hormones do you usually ovulate and do you have ewcm on the day (i know you have it leading up to it but not sure how to detect what actual day ov happens and don't want to start charting or shell out for cb monitor). Like this month I got the hormone surge on day 10 on my ov stick which makes me think i prob ov'd on day 11 or 12. But I do find that once swi starts it is v difficult to tell when ewcm stops and its just the backwash of the previous night if you get my drift? Just wondered if there is a way to tell...

As the thread starter farfalla you have made sure that the swimmers were long life and are therefore preggers.

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 11:12

farfalla my DH says they can live 7 days. maybe a strong swimmer did hang about. I don't know how evidence based that is. Though the odds must be lower i don't think its impossible. Smile

farfallarocks · 17/08/2011 11:11

Swimmers that are BROOKING NO ARGUMENT, I like that

I would say there is a chance Farfalla if they are determined little swimmers

farfallarocks · 17/08/2011 11:08

ps my folic acid is by the kettle, take it with my first coffee and brekkie and have to hide it when friends come over for dinner!

Right gals, could it be AT ALL possible to be preggers if the last time you did the deed was on CD8 and you ovulated on CD14. It is impossible isn't it? The swimmers can't live that long, can they?
Just that I really miss my monthly POAS ritual and AF due on Friday and, and, and.........

its the 'take them with your main meal' bit on mine that gets me- i remember them in the day, and think 'oh i mustn't forget' and then at tea time- no hint of memory!

maybebabyR · 17/08/2011 11:00

I have mine on my bedside table Dream and take them before I go to bed.

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 10:58

Yes, jen, thats what i should do. I didn't take them before i got pg with DD but did take some though not every day when i was actually pg!!!! They need a new home!!

GenericDietCola · 17/08/2011 10:56

Well my last cycle buddies were Scarlet and Dream so maybe I'm a good luck charm!

jenfraggle · 17/08/2011 10:54

Dream Have you tried putting your vits in the way of something you use every day? If you have to move them to get to what you want, that will be your reminder to take them. I'm useless at remembering too but I've taken mine every day for the last week since buying them so fingers crossed I will continue to do so

CakePigeon · 17/08/2011 10:52

scarlet glad your appt went well, continue with the pom poms and fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

Solars · 17/08/2011 10:49

Of course Dream

Yay Generic I'm just hoping hubby is compliant in the rat smacking this month as he has a stressful interview on monday. I've never had a cycle buddy :)

maybebabyR · 17/08/2011 10:48

Oh Dream it goes without saying you will be getting your BFP. Tis only a matter of peeing on a stick (or in a ramekin) Smile

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 10:46

ooh, yes please maybe daily folic acid reminders- and maybe vit b complex for those on that too- would be very helpful.

Just to make it clear, this month i am BROOKING NO ARGUMENT and WILL be getting a BFP

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 10:44

generic, i have absolutely everything crossed and am on tenterhooks... And can't stop smiling about scarlet's BFP- the happiness is certainly catching!

maybebabyR · 17/08/2011 10:41

Wohoooooo Scarlet So so pleased for you Grin

Dream you made me chuckle over the improvised pee sticks. Shall I do a daily reminder for the the folic acid? Seen as you haven't taken it, you are obviously already pregnant!

Grin at camping comparison Imps I like to think that is an exact portrayal of us all.

Sorry to see you back again Late (in the nicest possible way) Pleased to see you are most definitely brooking no argument of any shape or size this month.

Have a lovely day Have

Solars · 17/08/2011 10:40

Dream AF WILL continue to stay away! You are brooking after all x

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 10:40

Oh, solars, pick some up for me too while you're there, just in case. It'll also guarantee my BFP

And biscuits chuckling like a mad lady to myself over here about tempting scarlet bean out with ice cream and cbeebies Grin

GenericDietCola · 17/08/2011 10:39

Dream you are DEFINITELY preggers - it's catching you know!

Solars we can be cycle buddies - think that's when I'm ov'ing too (are we already cycle buddies?)

Ooh Scarlet hopefully the vit B6 complex will wake me up a bit too - only started it on Monday. Hope I wasn't insensitive about your mcs and really hope ScarletBean stays put. Surely all the positive vibes and visualisations will help you.

Solars · 17/08/2011 10:36

Right I'm off to the shops for some of those vitamin B complex

dreamfeeder · 17/08/2011 10:35

Right, thanks for the tutorial scarlet. If i my BFP doesn't materialise I will also be buying the Vit B complex. However as I can't remember to take my folic acid (5 months trying, 5 tablets taken in total...gulp) i will have to take extreme measures to remember them!!!

Well, still no AF. I have to remind myself it ISN'T DUE YET. Now i don't want to test tmw just in case i don't join scralet and biscuits.

BUT all the good vibes here will have totally scared AF off, she won't be back for 9 months, I need to relax, and await my lovely BFP, marginally later than our clever, clever cycle buddy scarlet Grin

NinjaChipmunk · 17/08/2011 10:31

thanks scarlet I find it hard to muster up the energy sometimes and for that reason I may try them I think.
