Praisebe mucus cough medication is supposed to thin the cervical fluid to help mimic fertile fluid

CD6 today and DTD for the 1st time even though its way to early Grin
Can anyone explain the whole cough syrup thing to me ? I think my post got lost last time no one replied

Aww @LookingAtTheStars
Goodluck testing! Let us know what the outcome is. Don’t worry about your oh just try to relax and ignore his uselessness, I tend to just go have me time in the bedroom watch some tv and chill out :)

LookingAtTheStars89 · 15/12/2017 22:57

I'm testing in about three hours time and then again first thing. I still have spotting on and off and a temp and dizzy head. Im petrified it's going to be an ectopic if it is positive :-( My dh is being useless which is making it worse!

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 21:27

Okay will wait :) if I can lol

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 21:04

I say wait 2 days and do ic

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 20:37

My back aches got much better tho! And lower pains have fizzled out slowly, but gassy

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 20:36

Not sure whether I should test with frer tomorrow or Sunday? Expecting bfn :(

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 20:36

Done ic this morning was negative

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 20:21

Gem you have great willpower if you've not tested lol

I was testing every day from that point

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 20:20

Rdw I've had ewcm on and off similiar not lots but some

Funny you say that about twins-
I was a twin
(According to mum the twin passed in the womb or something)

RDW1989 · 15/12/2017 19:39

Gem173 Definitely, I am only just starting my TTC journey but already I am struggling with the not knowing. It's like schroedinger's cat - you spend the majority of the month thinking 'what if' and imagining the potential baby that might be about to come into your life, knowing there's a good chance it might not materialise. Argh! We need distractions.

P.S. How many days do you experience EWCM for? I had it on day 11, 13, 14 and now 15. I am a fraternal twin, do you think it means I'm hyper ovulating? (ovulating twice)

RDW1989 · 15/12/2017 19:35

Omg this thread moves so fast! So... I posted yesterday about flatulence and cramping. I've now realised that it's due to sorbitol (I've been snacking on sugar free polos at my desk Blush. I also have IBS which probs doesn't help). I'm actually really gutted! I genuinely had a feeling that I was up-duffed, my stomach felt so different.

Doh! Only cycle 1 and I can already tell I am going to be a nightmare Confused.

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 18:30

I’m 8dpo today, 9dpo tomorrow. My luteal phase is short like 11/12 days

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 18:29

How many days dpo are you x

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 18:18

That dream sounds so gooooooddd haha I have felt travel sick in the past week. And getting hot flushes. But prob because work is rushing me around because of xmas :/

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 18:14

Ah gem you hit the nail on the head!

For me travel sickness is a big thing early on (with 1st and second, can't remember 3rd as middle one was only 3months lol)

Oh and weird dreams inc food dreams

I remember streaming about parma violets lol that they were turned into fluffy clouds to eat 😶

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 18:07

Just looked on the pregnancy forum (as you do) and seen a post called ‘15 and pregnant’ like wow, I read it and she seems more mature for the age of 15.
Hence ‘I have been with the father for 3 years’
My head is spinning haha

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 18:05

Lol I only have got one frer and lots of ic preg tests. I bought that frer just as I came off the pill and have not used it since tried to wait till af shows first.
It’s so hard, each cycle you don’t know if you are pregnant or if you will be. You have sex whenever you can and are not sure if it’s enough etc the fact it cannot be controlled or you cannot predict when you will get your bfp really makes me sad. I’d love to know if I would get pregnant this cycle. This is my first baby tho so I haven’t got any symptoms to go off of like those who have had past pregnancies.
It’s sooooo frustrating haha

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 17:15

Ah gem I've got my fingers crossed for us all!
Need to end this shitty year with some good news and start next year with good news!

I've got 2 ovulation tests left so will prob use 1 tomorrow around 11ish
And take it from there

I've got 5 pregnancy tests and I'm not buying any more. (Ic)
atleast that's what I'm telling myself lol

Gem173 · 15/12/2017 16:38

Sounds about right I think @LostMyBaubles

Really hoping for a bfp this month, and that symptoms are the same as pre af symptoms lol prob hoping for too much but I’m finding it very hard to convince myself that it’s pregnancy and not af

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 16:32

I think I might have ovulated and missed the proper surge thing on test as I have had some darker/ fainter tests

Had some left ovary pain around 2 days ago (when they seemed to be darkest iirc)
And had some ewcm then and lots of back ache and acne etc

Today I've had some more ewcm and I think the surge started then and have ovulated today?
I'm cd14 and normally 28 day cycle (before coil. Last 1 was a little longer think because of c.p)

What do you all think?

LookingAtTheStars89 · 15/12/2017 16:09

Well, I will straddle the two buses until I know for sure lol x

Jfw82 · 15/12/2017 15:25

@LookingAtTheStars89 dr Google says can be anywhere from 6-12 days for implantation so it could be that

ImpatientMammy · 15/12/2017 15:25

Some people get spotting in early pregnancy @LookingAtTheStars89 x
