angelaham · 09/08/2014 21:23

Hi ladies, met up with one of my best friends, I moved away from home to be with my husband so I am back visiting family , I was telling her that we are trying for a baby and she was giving me some advice that helped her, she had been trying for three months and nothing so she bought some clear blue ovulation sticks that when she used them she saw she ovulated later than she thought she did, also had honey and cinamin on toast for breakfast every morning for that month and the she was pregnant, I just thought I'd share some advice with you all and hope it helps, this is my most fertile week, not sure if the honey will work this month for me but it's good to have some tips for next month , good luck ladies

spinningirl10 · 09/08/2014 21:13

Thanks ladies, I try not to symptom spot, as we all know it just makes the fall harder! I've just eaten a huge bar of cadburys whole nut......not a symptom, just greedy Grin

Shetland, got fx for you that the spotting stops and your line gets stronger.

Shetland · 09/08/2014 20:51

Thanks bluesky :)

Shetland · 09/08/2014 20:51

Oops - not sure what happened there - I seem to have managed to post my earlier post again?!

What I meant to say was....

Thanks sparkle and kitty - I'll crack open the frer tomorrow and see what it says.

What did DP say sparkle ? Hope he took it in board - it takes two to make a baby.

Gary is great name mrse he'll stand in the crowd surrounded by bubbles and goldies Grin

Blueskygirl30 · 09/08/2014 20:50

Congratulations on the line Shetland!!!

Blueskygirl30 · 09/08/2014 20:49

Katy and Sparkles you can use any cough medicine "As long as the only active ingredient is guaifenesin, you can use any variety you find." (From MedHelp ) I used sainsburys own brand and I took one teaspoon in the morning and one in the evening but other sources say up to two teaspoons three times a day. I just didn't want to overdo it as I don't like taking medicine for no reason really.

Shetland · 09/08/2014 20:46

Yay pompatrol - well done!

sunshine don't rule yourself out yet - I am also 10dpo with spotting and I just poas well, 3 actually and there's definitely a line on them all :)

I'm not getting excited yes I am as I've been here before but so far so good!

Very early though - I didn't think AF was due til next Thursday?!

sparkle17 · 09/08/2014 20:14

I hope you get a strong line tomorrow Shetland

KittyVonCatsington · 09/08/2014 20:07

A very normal question round these parts katy Grin if you can stretch the cm between two fingers and ia cleae then its EWCM. If it breaks and is cloudy, it's jizz!

Congrats pompatrol and is it a tentative congrats too shetland! Great news!
Hi jazzy!
MrsE am sure Gary is awesome Wink Didn't win anything on Brighton pier today but have eaten lots and had a few drinks naughty
spinning your full feeling is promising but I know we've all been here many times. Only a few more days to wait

sparkle17 · 09/08/2014 20:03

I hope you get a strong line tomorrow Shetland

sparkle17 · 09/08/2014 20:02

Congrats pompatrol! Great news.

I've been using epo capsules the past two months but has not led to ewcm. I'm going to try the cough medicine next month. Could you ladies remind me what kind and dose?

I'm 7dpo today. Got upset with dh the past couple of days as I would prefer him to cut back on his drinking but I also dont want to be a nagging wife so was trying not to say anything and get over my own worries but it all came out and I was quite tearful this morning.

Katybear123 · 09/08/2014 19:22

Thanks jazzy and sorry to make u lol. Right I an going to assume Ewcm and dtd tomoz we did yest and thur so not sure hubbie would b on for 2 nite to. Plus hopefully I'm covered.
Interesting blue sky I will defo go for evening primrose if no bfp this cycle what cough medicine did u use?

Blueskygirl30 · 09/08/2014 19:05

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue but in case anyone is worrying about not having any EWCM.... I hadn't really had any before but this cycle I've been taking evening primrose oil capsules everyday since cd2 and two teaspoons of cough medicine most days since cd6 and today (cd14) I've got loads of EWCM. Sorry if TMI but I was wondering if I could actually do anything about it and it turns out I can! Grin

Sunshinesaz86 · 09/08/2014 19:01

Hi jazzyjenbo thanks for your post re implantation/bleeding I'm convinced it's AF but it started yesterday at 9po and I'd had other weird symptoms, however I don't seem to have any today? Not tested as seems pointless.........even tho I have one hiding in the wardrobe, I'd feel silly doing it!

A 9 day luteal phase doesn't look too great either! I hope this isn't a sign of things to come! :-/ sigh.......

jazzyjenbo · 09/08/2014 18:41

That was ment to read 'cum to the conclusion' (pun intended)Shock

jazzyjenbo · 09/08/2014 18:40

Spinning, your symptoms are sounding very promising Wink

Pop.. Congratulations, can't see the photo on my phone but will get onto pc later

Katy.. Your post made my lol!! I've often thought the same but hav 'cum' (pun intended) that junk goes abit more watery! If it looks like ewcm make the most of it and treat it as a sign u r fertile.

Sum1 posted re implantation bleeding/or af!? (Sorry can't remember who) i've had implantation with all 3 of my pregnancies, last one was watery pink for 3 days when af was due so didnt test until 1 week after af was due, (mmc at 10wk).. Dd i had brown spotting and felt very heavy but tested as it didnt look like af and got positive... With ds i had a 'normal' af, went another month tested at af time bfp, when i went for 12 week scan i was 16 weeks, turned out when i had ds that i had lost a twin at that heavy first month,,, my point being if i get spotting or light bleeding and still feel u are having symptoms poas! U mite b surprised with the result Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/08/2014 18:34

Thanks spinning and blueberry.

We paid the mortgage fees today so that's slightly further on. It's complicated as we have 2 ltd companies and an ex husband who pays maintenance. To not as simple as employed people. It would be easier for any of our employees to get a mortgage than us, it's a crazy business.

Went out for a few hours with the littlies and accidentally won a goldfish. 7yr old ds was so delighted he's called him Gary. Grin Of all the names In the world he chose that one! Haha!

Af still aloof and a final bfn on cd37 How on earth I could have guessed ov this month without testing I don't know. So not entirely surprising. My cycles have been so erratic this time since ttc. It's a puzzle. Dh wants me to go to the dr. I'm concerned they'll laugh me out of the surgery.

Sunshinesaz86 · 09/08/2014 17:58

Aw. Spinning don't be to hard on yourself symptom spotting and if u feel these things u can't ignore them and at some point u will get your BFP so could well be this cycle!! FX!! :)

Sunshinesaz86 · 09/08/2014 17:44

Well I will keep my fingers firmly crossed for u and hope it's just a sticky bean getting comfy!

I've decided I'm classing it as AF now but if it mysteriously disappears ill test but doubtful!! Bit inconvenient as I'd planned and booked my bikini wax around my AF for my hols! Hmmm now I'm going to be like a prickly porcupine around my new fertile window how very unsexy!!! :)

Shetland · 09/08/2014 17:35

It's only been spotting today sunshine but yesterday there was enough to be very noticeable on a pad (sorry tmi!). Thursday was spotting too. I do have some cramps and back ache so I'm not sure if it's going to stick :(
More waiting and seeing.......
