Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

hi madoldbird and welcome

CD26 for me AF due Thursday (BFN on CBD CD24 9days after on opks) so my phantom pregnancy symptoms are:

achey boobs especially the right one which is really weird
feeling sick intermittently during the day
loads of CM

am holding out testing until Thursday now and it is killing me argh................................................................................................ .....................................

GryffinGirl · 02/10/2007 12:37

welcome madoldbird! The more the merrier.

CD18 for me (of a usual 28 day clockwork cycle) so think it will be a few days yet before i can legitimately start symptom spotting

madoldbird · 02/10/2007 11:48

Hello, can i join in?? Would be so lovely to have some support through this. No one in RL knows we are TTC and at moment dh is in the "well if it happens it happens" frame of mind, and doesn't like to dwell on it. Just started this TTC thing again - have 2 dc, 9 & 11, and now new dh & I would love a new addition. However, i am now sadly much older than before! 1st official month of trying - although you may have seen a previous thread of mine where i was desperately hoping a miracle may have occurred last month! I (think) i was fertile the end of last week, although i have only come off the pill a few weeks ago. So now on the 2ww - how do i wait until next week, when i can symptom spot in ernest!!

Right then, Bucky thank you have ordered vid, I'll send it on to you after I've watched it*

Soooooooo now can I have a beginners guide to finding what your cervix is up to please? If its too gynecological then just please skip though.

digitalgirl · 01/10/2007 22:43

lockets my cycles have been all over the place (29, 31, 31, 37, 41) which is why I've just spent a small fortune on ovulation predictor kits. I needed to buy myself some peace of mind. I started testing on CD11 and finally got a positive on CD21. If I'd relied purely on looking for EWCM I'd be fooled into thinking I've had three seperate ovulations (triplets anyone?). But I've only had the smiley face once. Combined with checking my cervix position - now low and hard I know that the giant ovulation window has now closed and I can sit snugly in the 2ww.

Now I either get a BFP or I get to find out how long my luteal phase is (the number of days between ov and AF never changes apparently).

HTH,
dg x

btw - already got pre-af cramps but boobs not sore.

lockets24 · 01/10/2007 21:13

The Cm is not really white its kinda dark, and looks like its pre period..i would love to think otherwise, but i have a feeling my period is just f*** up!

how the hell are you supposed to know when you are gonna ovulate when your period jumps around??

Bucky2007 · 01/10/2007 20:48

lockets24 are you saying that you have had a bit of spotting about a week before AF is due with a bit of CM? If yes and the CM is kind of whitish it could be implantation.

lockets24 · 01/10/2007 20:44

hey girls, i am in need of help.. so for the past two months AF has come on the 9th prior to that it was the end of the month! Anyway i usually get a bit of funny coloured yucky stuff (sorry TMI) before hand, anyway i had a bit of light coloured blood and then its been kinda weird discharge stuff today, but i am still over a week early?

i know i have no right to complain as its out first cycle ttc, i just wondered if this sounded weird to anyone or if i shouls just get over it!!

thanks

xx

Bucky2007 · 01/10/2007 20:26

ClairePO I cannot let the opportunity to pass on my wonderful website find...all you need to know about CM. I found this in the last thread and had myself in stitches laughing like a mad banshee woman for hours, trying to imagine who would buy the video.

Also, www.askdramy.com is quite cool too.

ClairePO · 01/10/2007 19:34

I read the funnier comments out to my DP I do hope he doesn't snoop though

I don't have any symptons but then again if I did ov then it was only in the last few days. I'm also going to do some research into EWCM as it's not something I've ever taken notice of before. SO many things left to learn about in life............

PicknMix · 01/10/2007 18:20

My DH knows about my addiction to MN but, as far as I know he hasn't looked on here yet - the closest he got to seeing a thread was when someone was talking about something particularly icky and I think it might have scared him off a bit!!!

I think he realises that if I have MN I can feed my addiction to this ttc malarky without getting too obsessive in RL. Well, thats the theory anyway......!

CD16 today and still have ewcm - seems a bit early considering last month was a 45 day cycle but I'm gonna make the most of it!! Am intending to keep on bding for the next couple of weeks to cover all bases - if DH can keep the stamina up

digitalgirl · 01/10/2007 16:29

i gave up on hiding my MN addiction to DH a long time ago. he knows my name on here. His job's not desk based so i can't see him having the time to trawl through all the threads to find everything I've written!! I think he's just pleased I'm sharing this level of detail with unseen friends as opposed to having to face my girlfriends down the pub with them knowing how many times we did it over the week and if there was EWCM involved.

GryffinGirl · 01/10/2007 16:13

Bucky - DH is not really the snooping, check-up-on-you type. I honestly think he looked because I have MN in my favourites on the laptop at home and I have been saying how much I love the MN threads and how much it has taught me (about EWCM and other stuff ) but it does make me feel that he may have guessed my username and posts and may have been reading this. I'd feel if he overheard me gossiping with my friends in this way because I know he feels TTC is private and intimate and between us (typical man attitude, where as I definitely have a "femaile" brain). It's not that there are secrets, I tell him everyhting I would say to you lot on here, but he'd be uncomfortable how honest I am with you lot - my cyper pals - and I'm uncomfortable making him uncomfortable. Not sure if that made sense.

Bucky2007 · 01/10/2007 15:45

ooh Gryffingirl I'm not sure how I would feel if DP looked at MN. He knows my MN name as its the same as my other computer account names, some of which he uses. I guess if its innocent and your DH is just curious it's quite sweet. Even if he is checking up on you, he will probably be too traumatised by the amount of EWCM to get far....

I think EWCM seems to have a mind of its own though as lots of people seem to have random occurences!

OP posts:
herbaceous · 01/10/2007 15:31

Grrr. Now more in the way of aunt-flo-style carry on. But still feel terrible. And have done for a week. Please don't let 'feeling like shit, and pregnant' be a new PMS symptom.

I was so convinced this month, too...

GryffinGirl · 01/10/2007 15:03

If anyone can tell me the "rules" of EWCM, and what is means and when, I'd be very grateful! I had it for three days last week and DH and I took advantage of the situation . It disappeared, only for the EWCM to re-appear for another three days later in the week. So we took advantage of the situation again

BUT, now I am panic stricken that the two lots of EWCM means I ovulated twice and I am destined to be the mother of twins, which is about the only thing more scary than the thought of getting another BFN this month .

Oh, and I caught DH looking at mumsnet at the weekend . I am not sure if DH has guessed my MN name (not a huge stretch for him TBH) and is keeping tabs on me and the thread, or whether he was just curious about MN. I have raved about what a good site it is, but didn't expect him to look at the TTC threads to be honest and now I'm a little about it because he found this thread.

digitalgirl · 01/10/2007 14:38

yes...I say that now...come CD36 and I'll be ripping open the plastic wrapping on test packet

just 'checked' my cervix position and it feels low hard and closed which means I'm post ovulation. dont understand why I would get EWCM after ov - i must be a freak of nature.

Bucky2007 · 01/10/2007 11:58

dg CD42!!! Wow, that must take uber discipline. I thought my stupid CD31 was long!
