No EWCM, what can I do to help?

Been ttc #1 for 6 cycles, I'm 34.

I am charting and my cycles are regular - 27 days with a luteal phase of 13 days. So far so good. However I've had no luck so far and beginning to wonder if my lack of EWCM might be to blame.

I am now taking Evening Primrose from CD1 to ov, but is there anything else I can do? EWCM seems so important in conceiving and mine is MIA!!

TIA

Me too!! I feel like I've got a whole raft of madness to offload at the moment!! Smile

How are you doing anyway? Still temping, opk'ing etc or are you going freestyle this cycle?

He wants to give up, but I think he's scared to fail. I know my nagging doesn't help, but I just find it frustrating.

I hear you re: stropping because DP wasn't in the mood. DP lost his erection (tmi, god he'd kill me Smile ) during ttc on the crucial day and I cried!! Secretly though as even I know his male pride couldn't take that one!!

I feel like my hormones are all over the place at the moment. I've just cried in the supermarket.... Sad

That would be nice actually Secret.

I stopped posting on the fb group purely because I had nothing to write! No symptoms, no maybe's, no poas.... Also most people on there are diffed now and the emphasis has kind of changed... I still check it though Smile

I am actually being stroppy - I can feel myself starting but I can't seem to stop. We went on a lovely day out yesterday and I spent the first half hour not speaking to DP because he smoked 5 cigarettes with breakfast. I'm going slowly mental (although tbf to me it was pretty revolting)....

me too Secret - I have really felt this month that I'm turning into a bit of an obsessed, stroppy cow. I think DP has just about had enough of me Sad

7 cycles and I'm starting to feel the stress...

I have taken evening primrose this cycle and haven't seen any difference in cm as yet. I ov fairly early on - cd 13 or 14 so that's only just 2 weeks of it in my system before I have to stop again.

I went for some sneaky preseed yesterday morning, then went out for a days' sightseeing and I leaked preseed all day Blush

I think I'll try a bit less next time Smile

I have to add the benefits of this honey seem endless! I tried it as a face mask last night much to dps amusement! Left the skin lovely and soft!

yellowflowers · 27/03/2012 08:36

GREAT not grey. It's transparent!

yellowflowers · 27/03/2012 08:36

Pre seed is grey btw. Get a tube not the individual pessaries as a little goes a long way. Invaluable for those pretending you're in the mood because you might be ovulating Monday nights.

yellowflowers · 27/03/2012 08:35

Oh, don't think mumsnet liked the hashtag! No 1 and no 2 of course! As in when I was trying for no 1, which took two and a half years, I had grapefruit juice. And I'm back again because we're just about to start trying for no 2. Of course if the grapefruit juice had worked we'd not have waited for two and a half years. But if she's come earlier it wouldn't have been our wonderful little girl but a different baby.

When I was ttc %231 (back on these boards now as I want to try for %232 everyone said drink grapefruit juice. So I did, every day for over two years. Bleurgh.

Pinkie29 · 26/03/2012 20:27

Been lurking on here for a few days, just purchased some manuka honey a s vitamin b6 I like the idea of being sneaky with the preseed Grin

Pipbin · 23/03/2012 22:56

Go to Aldi for the honey, £4 a jar compared to £10 elsewhere.
