Hello
sorry to disappear off the radar - was away for 2 weeks holiday, had a lovely time with plenty of SWI.. I put my AF date as 18th Sept, but am pretty sure I actually ov'd on the 13th, so am not going to test until the 28th (if AF doesn't arrive before then). I have no symptoms and seriously doubt my chances, but fingers crossed!

hope that all makes sense, roll on the end of the week.
good luck to anyone left testing tomorrow and sorry for all those disappointed by the arrival of AF...

That meant to say do you chart....

miss can I ask if you could stretch the EWCM between your fingers and roughly how long it took before it broke!! Usually ov takes place during EWCM and SWI should take place! go you chart your CP or temps??

Spotting here now so think I'll be alighting at the next stop and waiting for the July bus. Good luck to all the June BFP's and thanks for being such good company.

Hi All, am new to this, finally persuaded DH who thinks he is too old for another child (he's 41, DSS is 11). Have added my details below, already enjoying your chat & picking up tips!

bradders i would not want to get your hopes up as i don't seem to be too successful with determining implantation bleed but it is quite possible to get updiffed almost straight away after coming off the pill, so CD13 may not be too early as your body is trying to get back to normal! If you have any internet cheapies I would test but if you have any more expensive ones then i would wait - to you chart temp, cm/cp??

I'm totally and am hoping that one og you lovely ladies can help me????

My first af after coming off the pill turned up on the 12th Sept after a 37 day cycle from august. It was a lighter than normal af that lasted abour 2. 5 days but put this down to body getting used to normalness after 15 years. Anyway last night after going to the loo I noticed some brown cm in my pants not lots so just thought it might have been from mornings SWI. This morning I have woken up to find more brown cm and after having a feel up there its really light??? Could this be an inplantation bleed??

After reading on google that a funny taste in your mouth (which I have had for a few days) can be a pg its set its set my mind racing. But im not sure how it could be possible with my af only only starting 13 days ago. My brain hurts from lots of over thinking not sure if should test or if would be a waste of a test??

Morning!

Wait for me, festie!! Think I'm coming onto the July bus with you as I think my bleeding is period now.. boo! Think it's too heavy to be implantation, although it started last night and has just stopped again. I'm putting it down to a wierd period - I haven't had any cramps or anything like I normally get. Also this means my cycle was really short (and I ovd very late)...hmmm.

Oh well, at least I'll be ready to get a-cracking for a July (or late June?) baby soon. Going with the EOD method this cycle (every other day - like, we really don't have enough abbreviations ;) )

Hey Rusulka! D/S eh? Well, sure DH won't be arguing!

Yes, I really am going to make an effort this month with the old SWI... Obviously didn't put my back into it this month. Also ordered myself a Basal Thermometer too, so I can watch for that thermal shift and make sure we SWI right up to the right point!!

Rather inevitably, spotting turned into AF, so I'm getting off at the next stop and boarding the July craft. Good luck to all of you. Hope your spotting is implantation Loulou and your pains aren't AF sweetpb.

Maybe see some of you on the July bus. Although it will be nice to see you, hope I don't because you got your BFPs!!! xxx

Hi everyone! Just taking a break from revising for my OU exam by watching Xfactor, drinking red wine and mumsnetting (and I always thought I was rubbish at multi-tasking). Fingers crossed that those who are spotting are the result of implantation! X

HI guys, I ditto the D/S for faster 'arrivals' when not really in the mood, only thing is its a little uncomfortable for me! and hubby has found if he stops at the 'crucial' moment instead of keeping moving then that also helps with the leakage, wow we have some weird and wonderful conversations!!

I have ordered some ov stick and preg sticks from internet, not sure i will need to POAS though this month, had some period pains today :(

although on the bright side that will mean the pills have worked and my cycle is shorter x

Hi Rusulka buddy, it's been a while! Good to hear you're working hard on operation kumquat (or similar) still

Might have to try a bit of the ol DS next month if my expected BFN is still there next week.

With you on more regular SWI festie - ours was halfhearted this month and only really went for it when I thought I was oving but judging by my CM and ov sticks I was a week late so gonna have to just be a bit more energetic in October I think!!

Spotting stopped again almost as soon as it started. I swear I have a really metallic taste in my mouth (like I've just taken iron tablets or eaten some tin foil eww) but don't want to think about it as it could be my silly mind playing tricks on me. No other symptoms either. Ho hum. Am going to make self hold on for Mon now to make up for pathetic early testing.

• • TMI alert * *

I think there may actually BE something to this doggy style position as an aid to conception!

On CD13 today, after 2 days' worth of positive POAOS, have decided to abandon tradition and go for it on all fours on the off chance it may actually make a difference... and do you know what? No leakage.

Seriously!

Normally I find that when DH withdraws, he pretty much brings everything out with him, but this time, with my face smushed into the mattresss (nice)... nothing. A little bit sticky, but I'm amazed at the difference!

Also DH, ahem, 'arrived' a lot quicker, which was nice, especially when you just want to get it over with so you know you've done your best for the day.

And although it's not as comfy to stay in that position for another 10 mins, gravity really makes a difference- no squirtage until I accidentally laughed.

And he said it was really comfy for him too, apart from him needing to be a bit higher up. Normally DTD is a pain in the arse because he's always got back ache or neck ache or sore feet or he's too full, or he feels cross... but I think we may have actually found a way around that now!

Hallelujah!

Hoping this cycle will be a case of 3rd time lucky, we certainly seem to have done it on the right days. More tomorrow, and we'll see how we go. The 2WW this time is going to be excruciating, but at least I'm working, so won't be sat at home all day eyeing up sticks like cycle 1.

FX for everyone POAS on Monday- tempted to join in, but 1DPO testing is a little silly, even for me!

Naughty ladies! Wrists duly slapped! :o

I wondered about implantation spotting too Loulou, but didn't want to get my hopes up. Still very light this morning, but have a feeling it's just turning into my period. Oh well, only time will tell.

Think I need to make sure that we SWI regularly across the month, rather than concentrate on my fertile period. Say I ov-ed a bit later than I thought this month - we would have missed it, cos we stopped as soon as I thought I had ov-ed (tiredness and colds and kids with nightmares don't help in the ttc quest).

Anyway, hope you are all having a good weekend. Fingers crossed that this spotting stops completely Loulou - though I think mine is gearing up for AF!

Naughty me too . I did the same and BFN too. Slap around the wrists please...

Stopped spotting yesterday afternoon and today it's started a little bit again, still only a little, like yesterday. Hmph. Don't feel like AF is coming but if it is I hope it's soon so I don't get my hopes up any more :(

Naughty me: I did a POAS this morning. Woke up early and had curiousity got the better of me. Anyway, it was a BFN but I'm only 7 DPO (but due on Monday - have quite a short luteal phase) so there's a tiny bit of hope yet. Serves me right for jumping ahead and POAS solo instead of waiting for the big 'un on Monday.

Oh bugger ladies :(

this weekend then

festie are you sure it's AF spotting and not implantation though?

Ah Bugger Flora, sorry to hear that. yes, think wine may well be consumed here this weekend too!

More bad news here festie... Auntie Florence turned up at my house today too. So I will miss out on the Group POAS on Monday .

I am looking on the bright side: I had a nice big glass of wine as soon as I got in from work, I can build up more reserves of folic acid (I'm rubbish at remembering to take it ), and DH and I get to ttc again in the next cycle :)

So I'm off the bus at the next stop. Bestest wishes to the rest of you lovely ladies. x

Oh Bollocks ladies, I've started spotting. I feel like such an idiot, all those symptoms I've been having. Buggering Bollocky bastards!

:D Do it, do it Ilanthe But will you be able to bear the guilt if it turns out you are pg? Maybe have a few glasses of water in between . . . Luckily I stopped drinking about three months ago (my god, but it was hard. I LOVE DRINKING.). Maybe you'll be able to tell if you are impregnated because booze tastes vile! I tried some Pinot Grigio last night and it tasted like lighter fluid . . . and got very excited as interpreted it as A Sign. But then my mother old me she'd bought it in Aldi, so perhaps I was premature.

festie What a stressful time you've been going through :( I'm sorry about those chemical pgs, it's miserable when you start to feel all motherly and then the painful & frustrating AF comes. I had one chem and it was actually much more painful [physically] than a mc, so I am full of sympathy for you. Be nice to yourself and have treats.

I hope everyone has a great and relaxing weekend. Please update me on the peeathon results on Monday.

Loulou I'm with you on FF being very very complicated. I'm not using it per se, I just did a single calendar based on my last period and an average cycle length of 29 days (they range from 27-30) since I started counting in February. I'm not bothering with temps and OPKs or anything like that, we're just shagging at 2-3 day intervals between periods. I might start obsessing doing more if I don't get pregnant within a few cycles.

I hope your bleeding is implantation - it is similar in pattern to mine with DS. Though mine was after my period was due but, as my scan later proved, I didn't ovulate till day 19.

Wierd 'symptoms' over here (despite only CD 13) are:-

1. Sore boobs.
2. A drop of milk leaking from one of my boobs! I stopped bfing 10 months ago and it dried up immediately. Wierd. Wierd.
3. Prominent veins on boobs and arms.

Zombie - they sound promising...

I am supposed to be on a last night of freedom piss up with my friend who is also TTC tomorrow. I should just assume I'm not pregnant, shouldn't I.
