I agree with kat.. Everything is set up to mess with your head when TTC! I used to get tonnes of ewcm when I was younger and had no idea what it was! but when TTC to find it I had to go searching for it.

Thanks for asking jeffers! Pukkng continues sporadically but most says this week it's been quite bad. Had to puke into sink when having a bath last night Trying to get on top of constipation which clearly doesn't help matters!

I forgot to add lemony that the foo-foo drucks do not come with a sechs ban - we got straight back to ttc once it was all done with. They always tell you to wait for your droid to come back but you can safely ignore that.

EWCM is something that goes mysteriously away when you start ttc. I remember the stuff from when I was younger and avoiding pregnancy like the plague. Once I started looking for it, it seemed to be mostly absent. Last month, when I did not want it, back it came and then back my pigging droid came too. So although LH and estrogen might have a lot to do with it, I am convinced that ttc makes it go away in order to fuck with your head

Oooh morning Faith how's your puking?

People have actually put pictures of their own EWCM on the Internet? Jeez.

Rie I know we've talked about this before but it's my worst nightmare that my sister announces her diffment. I can utterly empathise with you.

Blood tests for infections at the FC this morning. As long as I don't have HIV or Hepatitus then I'll be ready to start snorting drugs next month....

I understood it creates a friendly environment for swimmers, almost like a ladder they can climb up when the time is right. Triggered by hormones, yes.

It is so grey and mizz. I want to stay in bed!

When did you last POAS, sink? Come here and present your kidneys for a punching, dearie.

Oh god. Googling it finds me some random forum bints discussing ewcm as a sign of early pregnancy.

Thanks for the warning fsr..

Hmmm. My LH is always massively high (think of a normal level, times by 5, add a bit, and you're getting there...), so not sure it's that in this case!

The shagging commenced 3 nights ago at onset of pant activity.

It's very disconcerting all this hormone stuff

I think it has something to do with oestrogen, sinky.

I know it mimics semen and spermies like swimming in it.

Shag, Sinky, SHAG! It's hormonal innit? It helps the spermz swim north.

I may have "hostile mucus". The humourless consultant told me so.

He he. X post. I can read these fertile folk like a book.

Damn. Would have bagsy-ed instadiff. I'll go for 4 months. Long enough for her to confide in you how worried she is it's "taking so long"

Sorry for everyones woes. Have nothing to add to anyone as never had to go through an ectopic/miscarriage. I've brought a bag of langoustine heads to throw at you all though.

Can I ask for a bit of BESH wisdom? What is ewcm? I mean, I know what it is, but why do we make it when we do? Is it hormone shifts? I only ask as I appear to be getting it again. On approx cd 80ish (maybe. Maybe more). Obviously the sechs is happening, but why do we make it when we do? It might be comforting to thing my hormones are doing something, even if it is topsy turvy.

Should add that it's been three months since she started. In all fairness etc.

She said it was taking longer than last time. I was all sympathy, obviously :)

I call instadiff.

Very sorry lemony :(

Why is this all so hard? Am wallowing a bit for les BESH tonight.

My sis has started TTC again. Anyone want to run a sweepstake with me?

Aw lemonyone, I'm so so sorry it wasn't a miracle outcome, even though the possibility of it was always slim.

I've never had a miscarriage so have nothing to contribute on the advice front, except my driving thing has always been how soon can I ttc again, so if the foofoo drugs come with some sort of six month toxic sechsban I might be more inclined to let it happen naturally.

So sorry lemony even though you knew it was likely, the confirmation of bad news is always awful to bear. Both times I went for intervention - I couldn't bear the uncertainty of waiting. First time D&C (was a bit further along) and second time medical management. It was far from pleasant but at least I knew I was going into hospital on a specific day and at the end of that day the worst of it would be over. Also you get better pain relief in hospital if you make a point of asking for it - I had gas and air when the main bit was happening and if you go natural at home you may end up with nowt better than cocodamol.

However if you are already bleeding then it may not be too long and you may think that the wait is more bearable. I had nothing more than spotting and I could have been waiting for weeks. It's down to personal choice at the end of the day and what feels right for you. I personally needed it over with as soon as possible.

I'm so sorry to hear that drizz Please look after yourself at this time.

Happy anniversary FSR and belated happy birthday bugsie!

And at the lady's preference for purple diffed vaginas...

Hmm banana cake, can you send some over here, norf?

The bean is definitely dead, but the MC has not started properly yet (you could have fooled me, I've been bleeding for days). So I get to choose the evil foo-pills or waiting. The yolk sac had schrunk from 8mm to 5mm, so apparently too small for D&G. So we went out for big fat burger lunch and will be drinking lots of wine tonight.

Can I ask those having gone through MC before what they would do? Intervention or waiting?

It's all gone now, havealittlecake. Quite embarrassing, considering AMNH has been at work all day and it was untouched this morning.

Happy anniversary frankus, enjoy the dinner tomorrow.

Thinking of drizz.

norf, I'm a bit of banana cake for breakfast!
