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

ok,been lurking long enough! hope you don't mind if i butt in! We are ttc no.3, already have ds1 and ds2, ages 6 and 4, and yes this would definately make our family complete!
This is our first month of trying and I am on cd20. All the hard work has been done this month and now I am nervously waitng until next weekend so as I can test. Have only told best friend in RL, so could do with sharing my news so as I don't chew my nails off with anticipation!
Thanks for listening!!!

Hi Minnie1, I'm on cd 17 at the moment ttc 2 for the 3rd month. I conceived ds in first month so I guess I'm just anxious that it's not the same this time.

Hi, I'm new to the thread. Thanks CP3 for the invite. On CD24. TTC no.1 for 10 month. AF has been roughly 30-33 days, however last month it was 40 days. I think I've been having Ov pains for the last few months. OPK gave a positive reading on monday, however I got the pains yesterday and today. Temp went up slightly yesterday but came down again today. DH and I BD'd the last 3 days. Should we continue or can poor DH have a break - He's shattered. What do you think?
Also, any ideas on when I should test this month.
Congrats to all the graduates. I hope many more follow this month.

GeorgesMummy, What cycle day are you?

Hello to you all. After 7 pregnancy tests I'm finally convinced that I'm not pregnant. I must have been imagining the symptoms (I really must try not to do that!)

Do any of you know how soon after conception symptoms can appear as it's my fertile time at the mo and bd only 3 days ago but my breasts feel really sore and tender? I really hope I'm not imagining things again, although I don't normally look for symptoms this early.

And when first coming off the pill, you may not actually OV at all in first month - that's a possibility too I'm afraid.

Thanks for finding that for me btw Hula!!!

Hmmmm .... havny Bd'ed since Friday - so i better get me too a bedroom PDQ. I suppose i could be OVing later in the cycle because of coming off the pill!?! I DEFINATELY have not had this egg-white before on this cycle

Tessie - I have found this on FF about having more than one patch of EWCM:

Multiple Eggwhite Cervical Fluid Patches:

Several patches of eggwhite fluid with no clear thermal shift probably means that you are having an anovulatory cycle. You can have fertile-like cervical fluid and still not ovulate. If you have several cycles that show this pattern, you should ask your doctor to look at why you might not be ovulating. If you have several patches of eggwhite cervical fluid and a temperature rise, then your ovulation was probably delayed due to some external reason. One of the factors that can affect cervical fluid (mentioned above) may apply. In any case, you should still have intercourse every other day when you see eggwhite cervical fluid to make sure not to miss an opportunity.

Fertile Cervical Fluid after Ovulation:

Some cervical fluid after ovulation is possible because the corpus luteum, though its main function is to produce progesterone, produces estrogen in small amounts and this may cause you to see some cervical fluid. If your chart does not show clearly that you already ovulated, do not stop having intercourse. If your temperatures show clearly that you ovulated, then you are likely no longer fertile. It is also not uncommon to confuse semen and eggwhite or watery cervical fluid.

Cervical Fluid and Semen:

If you find that you have more watery or eggwhite days than you would expect and that these often follow days or nights that you had intercourse, then you may be mistaking seminal and cervical fluid. They are quite similar but you will find that fertile cervical fluid (eggwhite) is clear and stretchy and shiny. It will stretch a couple of inches without breaking. Semen may be more whitish and will break when pulled. If you are in doubt and it is near your fertile time, always record eggwhite cervical fluid, even if it may be obscured by seminal fluid so that you do not miss a potentially fertile time and so that Fertility Friend will give you its most accurate analysis.

But to be on safe side, looks like more CD for you!!!

OOOOOHHHH Minnie - didnt mean to forget to say HI - hope the rest of your day goes quickly!!!!

Hula ((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))) I had the mother of all AF's whilst on the pill - it got to the point where it was gushing out - even at night and the blood loss was making me feel light headed and dizzy - it did settle down after a couple of days though - look after yourelf (wine and chocolate should do it
Becki F - have a great hols (your man sounds great!)
Tania - have a good weekend at your friends wedding!

pamina3; sorry.

My pleasure Hula

Thanks for that Tania. I think it does help to know it is good for my body to do this once in a while.

Wow that was a long msg sorry girls!!!!

Wow you girls can talk!!!
Hula ~ my natrapath told me that heavy af is good its a good clean out. Cause you haven't bleed properly in a while there is alot of build up inside that needs to come out and the more you bleed the more eggs you release. thats why when you are on the pill you have light af's and the cramps are all the bad stuff breaking away from the lining of the womb. I have always suffered from heavy af's when i was a teenager i used to have to take a day off school and when i started in the workforce i would have to take the morning off. ikwym about the big clean up though when i get out of bed (tmi warning) it would run down my leg lucky we have floorboards in our room!! knowing this now that it is good to have heavy af's makes it alot easier to cope with just keep reminding yourself that its all good!!
Geordie
Minnie i too had really bad pains the other day put it down to ov pains too but it also may have been wind...DH kept telling me off IYKWIM
Welcome Bagpuss good luck.
BeckiF sounds like you have a very romantic man, well done girl
Well i will be off for the weekend for my best friends wedding will be leaving ds with my MIL for the whole w/end the first time i have left him for more that one night and i generally pick him up early the next day too. feeling very worked up about it and worse still when he woke up from his afternoon sleep today he had a temp and was very sad, took him to the doc's she said its too early to tell what it is and gave him antibiotic's. ??? so now i have the guilt thing happening too iam feeing really and like a bad mummy now!! My poor little angel
