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

Feeling sick tonight, but probably as I'm so damned tired. This bug has taken it out of me. Hols on Friday though, so last day in the office tomorrow! Hazahh!

Hula- as you know i am know expert, but i would say that lutueal phase is SLIGHTLY shorter than average - i think they say about 12 days is average - worth looking into?!?

BTW - i have decided that due to the most obvious symptom so far (OV Cramps on Saturday) that my CD must be CD21 today. I not going to test until CD 30 and i am going to relax and not imagine anymore symptoms until AF is here or late!

Thanks all; just got back from seeing friend's 5 day old baby boy. Very sweet little thing

Just been reading through some of messags. This month I appearsed to have 10 days lutueal (sp?) phase - OVd on CD18, and then Af started today - 10dpo. Is that okay? Normal(ish)? Or should I be seeking out supplements or anything to help out. Took so long last time, so keen to do whatever will help this time round.

Well i definately had those cramps you described on Saturday (CD 17) I pressumed that i had already OVed but that does make a lot of sense!! (And it was so weird but we were round some friends house and i found my good friends partner strangely attractive - and he so isnt - just for that one evening!!!) Oh well i did BD on the Friday (night before) so who knows!

Hello to everyone,many congrats to all those with bfp.
I've only just realised reading all your messages that I too get those overwhelming feelings for that men I don't usually go for. Only last nite I had a dream about a celeb from 'The Match',very steamy it was too!! I never have dreams like that normally. It is also my time for ov, how strange I've never made the connection before. Good Luck to everyone for this month.

Oh good hester - it's not just me!
I feel sexy, sexy, sexy for a day (much more than usual, of course). There's no mistaking it. I also have a happy feel-good feeling to the day.
Thanks goodness I love my dh so much 'cos there aren't half a lot of sexy men about when I'm ovulating!!! Don't know where they all go the day after!! Any ideas?

YES! 48 hours of madness, in which I shock even myself by my unseemly thoughts. Seems Mother Nature just doesn't want to let that egg go by...

... oh and I usually know when I am ov because I find the most unlikely people attractive for a day!! Very odd. I even thought my unattractive boss was sexy yesterday. When I woke up this morning (pains gone, ov over) I thought. Yuk how could I have THOUGHT that?!!! Anyone else get that?

I get ov pains every month. I get twinges on one side that can last a few hours and it turns into a dull ache across my lower abdomen (bit similar to constipation types pains, or a little bit like mild af pains)
I posted a few days back about only being able to bd up until cd11 this monnt because dh has gone away. I actually got all the pains described above on cd13 (usually get them on cd 14 or 15)!

MESSAGE FOR DEJAYRUS - Toni Weschler defines short luteal phases as less than 10 days between ovulation and AF. Medical remedies include clomid, HCG injections and progesterone (including natural progesterone creams). She also suggests consulting a nutritionist and taking 200-500 milligrams a day of vitamin B6. It sounds worth discussing with your doctor.

Congratulations to all those BFP's

I am on CD16 and have terrible period like pains, mmmm I wonder.....? I think I OV on CD14, can you get symptoms so quickly ?

Thank you Becki for asking those questions, youve saved me asking the same ones.

I never get these type of pains mid month, but I do remember looking back that I thought when I was PG with dd that any day now my AF was going to turn up as I had bad AF pains

Minnie, you and I are on the same cd20, I have a fairly regular cd28 so will know in a week's time. Am having some ghost-like af pains at the moment Last time I was pg I got them and didn't know about implantation bleeds etc. which is what it turned out to be. Now I am thinking it could be that, but feeling I'm deluding myself, it sucks.
My dd has just come home from her Grandma's and is so beautiful, I'm thankful I have her
Anyway. Sorry to hear about your BFN Hula, better luck next month. My dp and I are off for a dirrrty w/e in London this w/e too!!! Where are you guys going??
See you all later

Geordie -that is just what mine is like! Thick and a bit stretchy !

God, this thread moves so fast!! Going to do some speed reading...!

cm is really thick and stretchy.....not clear enough to be ewcm......bit snot like (sorry tmi) . can't remeber what it was like when pg with ds!!

Geordie - what is your cm like - i was wondering the same thing this morning i.e - if it would change if i was pg?

CP3, I had that pain this month and last thinking about it, do you think it could be ov pains then? I hadn't even considered it, as I haven't ever really had them before.....god, when did I have them??

P.S BeckiF - you make me laugh!

Oh my god, I leave you lot for half a day and three of you get pregnant! Massive congrats to all those with bfp, you must be made up!!!!

Still no af here and now on cd37, have absolutley no feelings like it is anywhere near arriving either. I made an appointment at the dr's for the 15th, thinking being that a) I'll either have come on by then and I can ask about the likelyhood of me not oving (long cycles are bothering me), b)I won't have come on & still getting bfn's or c) I'm prg!

Come on those c's!!

I've been getting it for the last two months cp3. It was fairly uncomfortable, an ache at the bottom of my stomach - it felt like my insides were all caught up together inside. Sorry, rubbish explanation! It hurt though.
