Trying to concieve 11 thread for October!! For us Unlucky ones on 10

CP3 I remember reading on FF that cm goes straight back to looking like infertile again after ov, so it would go dry again I guess. Apparently there is no way of telling if you are pg from CM after ovulation becuase of this, so not sure you should read too much into it. That's according to FF anyway.........and we all know there have been loads of cases of peoples bodies defying the books and experts!

I think this is because i have come off the pill that i am OVing late

Certainly do CP3!!!! I think that CM goes dry/sticky straight after OV - as you say for protection. Are you sure you OVed ? Only saying that as i had the same thoughts on about CD13/14 and was sure i had OVed (but got wetness and no eggwhite) CM then went dry for about a week ... then thickened up again (and went creamy) then yesterday (CD23) EGGWHITE!!

Sorry CP3 haven't clue but fingers will be kept crossed

BTW Valleygirl, I've heard that temping isn't always accurate. Best to use the other signs and temping as a back up.

A friend who was temping had a cycle where she didn't think she'd ovulated until really late as her temps didn't go up for ages... anyway, early on during the two week wait she noticed she had constantly erect nipples - turns out she was already 5 weeks pg and had ovulated much earlier!

Sorry, sweetheart, I love coming back to MN and catching up with the chat - so I want everyone to keep it up!!

Hello to all the newbies, I don't post very often but have been around for a few months. I'm 30, ttc # 1 since Dec '03 after aeons on the pill.

Had first blood tests yesterday to check whether I'm definitely ovulating, progesterone levels, thyroid function etc. DH having his swimmers checked so dropped off his little pot first thing (having kept it warm by tucking it under my armpit!)

Results will take a week or so, in the meantime I'm cd25, af due next Thursday so I'll be mostly spending the next few days imagining symptoms...

sweetheart,
Hope you have a good week..

Well I was hoping it would have some affect but this is mad!!!!

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone - was only joking!!!!

Right you lot!!!!

I have no internet access over the weekend. I'm on a course Mon & Tue next week and then I'm off work on Thur SO.....

I only have Wed and Fri available for MN use in a whole week!!!

Please, please, please, please, plase, can you keep the chatting to a minimum - otherwise it will take me another week to catch up!!!!!

I'm gonna miss so much

Apparently so runtus, I picked it up off another board and some ladies there were getting success with it, but I've never tried it myself.

Thanks Twiga. Are the tests the normal sort as the last batch of cheapies that I got I found you had to use a cup to collect and then a dropper thingy which was very difficult when shaking like a leaf with excitement. When I also didn't get the result I wanted I just thought that the tests were obviously faulty until af arrived of course .

You will all have to send me some self control vibes now that the tests are in the post too. God I'm only just ov'ing and I can't believe I have just typed that, I am soooooo impatient.

i'm on clonfolic, the hosp said that this is the one i should take..

Does the grapefruit juice thing work?

Morning all! Runtus all the best with testing ++++*+ Welcome to BBB, Chriz and Made4it ++++++

Bagpuss, I've been taking the pregnacare vit/folic acid supplement and it's been fine. Can be taken right the way through into breast-feeding and if you're vegetarian it's suitable (I'm not it's just the one i'd heard most about), haven't any experience of the clear blue one. Have also used the clear blue digital tests and seemed fine although didn't get the result i wanted!

VG I think it's Agnus Castus (sp?) that regulates your leutal phase. Also apparently drinking lots of fresh grapefruit juice can increase EWCM (don't ask me how but I read it somewhere).

Welcome Made4it, CHRIZ and BibbityBobbityBoo.. Baby dust to you all X

Morning everyone . This thread is so long I can only just about keep up with it! Hello to all the other new people that have posted and thanks to everyone else for the warm welcome yesterday .

CD15 and have ov'ed today so will be busy when dh gets home .

Good luck Sweetheart (we are nearly cycle buddies!) and I hope you aren't too exhausted.

pamina3, I have tried to use OPKs before but found them a bit of a faff so I have got a Persona monitor instead. It does roughly the same thing but tells you when you need to test which I find better - we will see if it is right at last this month anyway.

Runtus, good luck and losts of babydust to you too.

Well, I have ordered some Clearblue Digital tests from Early Pregnancy today as well as some Clear Blue Fertility Supplements. Has anyone used either before? DH is nagging me to take a pregnancy multivitamin (he is a born worrier as our ds has a heart condition) but I can't face the Sanatogen ones again (gave me an upset tummy) so thought the clearblue ones might be better.

Valley girl.... Hmmmm a tricky one ... there has been some good advice on here about lengthening Luteal phases - i think it was in the last couple of days (worth a browse back) I think i remember it saying that it should be around 12 days (worth checking Fertility friend.com)
Welcome Made4it, BBB and chriz!!!!! __ Babydust all round!

i have been having unprotected sex since november as my dp previously had a vasectomy and in january we found out that the rversal had been a success, even though he has slightly below average sperm count. but it's only really this month that i have been jotting town temperatures and keeping a keen eye on all the signs.
i have to say that i assumed the egg white phase and the positive OPK tst shoudl go hand in hand and should indicate that ovulation should follow within 24-36 hours, so for it to be 6 days doesn't seem right?
is the vitamin B6 suplement meant to lengthen the leuteal phase?

Hi Ladies, may I join in? I've been lurking in the shadows hoping that I wouldn't need to join you this mnth but I fear I may be here to stay for a while. STATs: 30yo, ttc#1, on cd24 of an average 25 day cycle. I'm pretty positive that I am feeling the effects of af coming on. Couldn't help myself & did a prg test yesterday which showed BFN - but am confused because according to most cd23 would be too early to test, but with having a shorter cycle, have I waited long enough? urghhh. I think I will just wait & see if af shows up in the next few days. Good luck & masses of baby dust to you all. xx

yes may start sat then as i normalley run a 28day cycle on average but have had a 26 and 30 day cylce too.

wish i was told more about this when they taught us at school about periods feel like i wasnt given enough info

whens the best time to test?am or pm

tc

Hi all, I am a regular to MN but have changed my name as i haven't quite decided wether to try for another or not. Well no thats not true, i know we will just can't decide when to go for it, age gaps and all that.

Anyway just lurking for now and picking up tips, hope nobody minds

Wishing you all goodluck anyway

Valleygirl? How many months have you been ttc? Is it your first month off the pill? Also , how many days "Should"you get the eggwhite CM for before OV?
