GM, it just means that af is due to start shortly, that is unless she has gone on her hols!!

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 18:26

BT, the creamy lotion like type of cm is what you get after the fertile stuff until it dries up pretty much towards the end of the cycle. Please let Tessiebear know that I'm sorry about the BFN but if she hasn't got af yet then she may still be in with a chance!

GeorgesMummy · 19/10/2004 18:24

MommyD Enjoy your chocolate and good luck for next month. I feel like my AF is about to start any day now.

Bagpuss30, sorry to sound dumb but I've never used Persona before what does M stand for?

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 18:23

Shely, robitussin or drinking lots of fresh grapefruit juice apparently but I have never tried either.

blueteddy · 19/10/2004 18:22

My friend Tessiebear has asked me to post a message 4 her, as she is house sitting & thier pc has crashed!
Basically, she did not get her cm until cd22 & is now on day 35 (I think?!), so was leaving the testing till later.
Anyway, she did a hpt today & got a BFN.
Could she have still tested 2 early?
Also, she claims 2 have had some thick, gooey cm today, which she describes as kind of cloudy.
It is obviously 2 late 4 fertile cm, so what can it be?
I'm afraid that I couln't help her on this 1, but told her that 1 of u lot will probably have more of an idea.
She will not be able 2 get back on her pc until Thursday, so has asked me 2 post 4 her!

SHELY · 19/10/2004 18:21

hi guys. i never seem to get that real fertile cm at any point in my cycle. i get "wet" at times, but no stretchy stuff. anyone else in my boat there? my gyn said if i dont have any of that, i may need insemination. is that true? every other aspect of my cycle is totally normal, but i just don't produce that egg white stuff. i heard robitussin can help, but i dont know if that is just a wive's tale or not. please advise. thanks ladies baby dust to all

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 18:19

MommyD, better luck next month and enjoy the chocolate . Just looked at my persona monitor and m symbol is flashing - I'm so excited and nervous now. Had to resist the urge to buy first response test with my groceries on line earlier, although there is a chemist just over the road from me so tomorrow we'll see....

Hulababy · 19/10/2004 18:09

MommyD.

CD14 here No temp change yet though and CM not indicating OV either. OV date was CD18 according to FF last month.

Twiga · 19/10/2004 18:09

Mommyd , +++++++++++++++

SHELY · 19/10/2004 17:59

i'm with you mommyd! good luck this cycle. iam eating tons of chocolate myself. everyone has to indulge in something to ease the pain!!

MommyD · 19/10/2004 17:33

Nasty old flo arrived this afternoon . She was early - 2 days! I reckon I ov on cd13 when I would normally ov on cd14/15 so I suppose her turning up early might have been expected!
Good news is
1 I'm onto the chocolate
2 I'm on cd1 so don't have to wait any more!
3 As SHE turned up early and checking dates, dh might actually be around at the right time this cycle
Bad news - never have sore bbs around AF time - only when pg. Had very sore bbs this cycle, so if I do get pg, won't have a clue about it!
Off for more chocolate. Good Luck All
I will hang around this thread if that's ok... keen to know who our next grad is, and hopefully won't see ANY of you on the next thread... (then again some 'friendly faces' would be good!)

SHELY · 19/10/2004 17:28

i think we will need a new thread soon. i got my hsg test tomorrow. right now, iam stuck in my "after af blues", too early to do some bd, and just expecting the worse for this month again. does anyone get these blues, in the middle here? when last month's try is over, you can't be pegnant, and seems like ovulation is so far off. every month i think it gets worse. it's starting to really affect me. i pray this month will be the one, but i doubt it. what a great x-mas gift it would be for all us gals, if the af witch disappears within the next 2 months! lots of hugs and prayers to you all!!

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 17:03

Sorry to hear about AF Jeddah.... Tapas might get your mind off things

jeddah · 19/10/2004 16:58

hi girls....thanks hester, hope that I am wrong too!,

Well done sexyandhappy....... The ov kits pick up the peak level of hormone that results in ovulation...... but aswell as sweetheart I too have been using them....only 3 months and I am not preggers yet..........but I guess our bodies don't work out of books or follow instructions.

Just had a bath and applied fake tan! my dh just come in bathroom and thinks that we should stop temps and ov kits and just go for it for a while!....Feels really strange not temping and testing and not knowing when I am ov but I guess he has a point!..........I have been sharting for 10 months now so I least I know a kind of trend........

Still no af
cd33 dpo10/11
BFN at cd29
BFN at 1.30pm today!

off to make dinner with a double G+T

hester · 19/10/2004 16:45

jeddah and sweetheart - hope you're both wrong about the af you think is coming...

Tania, it's very wrong and unfair that you keep having to go to bed just when I get time to join the thread!

I am so so so so so excited about the BFPs we have coming. Roll on the weekend and then we can have a parrrrtttttyyyyyy.....

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 16:05

Well i just ordered some 10 pregnancy kits and 25 OV kits.... I could become a reseller

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 15:54

jeddah - been waiting about 4 months - might be 5 now - i've lost count, just ages. I saw the gyne 4 years ago and that was a totaly waste of time, they did sweet FA!!!! Just worried tomorrow will be the same I guess.

sexy, I've been using OPK's and I'm still not preg so I would say either they are no good or i'm just infertile!!!!

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 15:52

Thanks Jeddah.... there is so much choice though.... are they all the same ? Are OV kits any good ?

jeddah · 19/10/2004 15:51

don't worry sweetheart! just relax..... and be glad that you have your appointment.....so at least things will be moving!

don't forget to tell them that you are due for testing this weekend.

How long have you waited for the appointment?

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 15:48

I'm at work all on my own and i'm bored. My mind is going into overdrive about what the Gyne is gonna say/do tomorrow. I've got butterflys in my stomach!!!

Please someone, tell me I'm being stupid!!!! I've been waiting for this for ages and now it's here - i'm really worried

jeddah · 19/10/2004 15:47

sexandhappy forgot to mention that the delivery is the next day!!!!!!!!
I have been very impressed with them

Right off for a hot bath now and to apply some fake tan to make me feel better!! and going to have a load of ale tonight!!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 15:41

sexandhappy
sorry to hear that you didn't get your preg test by the nurse......I guess everyone is different, but I would have tested you before I took your blood.

Anyway to play it safe....I would test just in case you are preggers....if you go to www.earlypregnancy.co.uk you can get 10 early preg tests and 25 ov tests....it is a package and I think it costs £12.99> Well worth it. as cheapest single test is £8!!!

Your tests should be back within 7 working days, so make an appointment at your GPs for then.

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 15:38

So where is the cheapest place to get a pregnancy test then ?

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 15:32

Well i did not get my free pregnancy test at GP.... nurse was lovely but said that i had to buy a stick !!!!! (I tried and said well I think I might just be pregnant....) She also got the thing that they put around your arm stuck so I was seriously bleeding and now feel bruised.... made me forget to ask when and how I'd learn the results of my blood test.

But I am CD 50 something.... maybe I should just buy a stick..... I have become obssessed with my cervical fluid of all things... it has slightly changed but haven't seen egg white for a long time.... cervix seems higher, softer and more open... maybe I should just have some sex again

I am soooo confused

GeorgesMummy · 19/10/2004 15:01

Sorry,ignore that,I'm on CD29 not CD22. I'm a week behind, my head's all over the place today, this waiting is really getting to me.
