TTC Waiting room stay as long at you like part 4

Evening all! Welcome MummyAnnabella, glad I could woo you over here. Have been very amused by CM conversation so thank you ladies. My thoughts on the subject are that DH's chaps are not clear and transparent. Am I right?

Here, no more spotting and it turned out to be the tiniest bit. Trying to stay calm and make myself wait for AF or test on fri am before this hen weekend. mibbes - with you on this wretched spotting. Just sodding come already AF or don't come at all!

hi ya fruitloop how are you having problems with the cm it can be a nightmare !!!

i was thinking of temping next month so fingers crossed that works better than cm!!!!

i am now sitting about waiting on af to come so i can start my next month of clomid!!!!

hi mibbes
sorry your AF hasnt turned up properly for you hun-th silly cow
bad news about the house though the fella wouldnt budge on his offer so we have had to turn it down it would have left us in £5500 debt that would need to be paid immediately or no go on the move ah well we WILL sell soon
xx ei xx

ClairePO I have also been scarred by that photo !
Fruitloop are you putting temps into FF yet as I think this will give you a more accurate idea of what os happening. I haven't had EWCM the past 2 months so you're not alone !
MrsEi good news about the house... new house, new baby...
Welcome MummyAnnabella hope the tasting chat hasn't scared you off !
I still just have spotting just want to get next cycle started now as day 4 of spotting and my longest cycle by 10 days ... booored of this crappy cycle.

OK - I'm obviously not the only one with EWCM and dh offerings confusion - so far I appear to have ovulated 3 times this month and would have sworn each time that it was the real thing!!!

fruitloop someone on here a little while ago (might have been MTW but i cant remember) said that EWCM can sometimes be found high up in your flue so it seems as if it isnt present but it just hasnt made it all the way down to your knickers maybe this is the case for you as your DH may be dislodging it in the flurry of activity if that makes any sense

Not always MummyAnnabella, which is a bit of a relief really. At 31 days you haven't got long until testing, fingers crossed

Fruitloop I suppose its possible that vigourous activity and ermmmm your subsequent enjoyment may result in your ewcm being expelled iyswim LOL

not sure re cycle length yet as this is only 2nd cycle since ds born as was b'f and i wasnt sure if 1st af was going to be a one off but it seems now back to normal. used to be 31 days approx.

think i have joined this thread at interesting time or do you always talk about sperm tasting??!!

hi to mummyannabella and welcome
claire lol at idea of tasting the...erm...secretions...[eww] i dont even want to tase DHs in any circumstance so i think that idea would be a huge no no for me[bleurgh]

fruitloop It is frustrating not to be able to temp. Mine beeps, but if you turn it off straightaway, the temp is stored for when you next switch it on. It might only beep once or twice. Is he a light sleeper? That sounds a bit cloak and dagger perhaps?!

Not everyone gets EWCM, some people just get wet stuff which is fertile too.

claire LOL at the idea of tasting it!!

Welcome mummyannabella

fruitloop digitalgirl picture on EWCM was spot on, EWCM can be stretched much longer than the picture showed. If you crack an egg open and have a good look at the egg white, it really does look very much like that, my fella's little soldiers looks nothing like egg white, more like sloppy semolina or baby powder mixed with a little milk! definately tmi, feel quite sick now... as for the cervical position, I agree with you there, I couldn't tell the difference, so I don't go there any more!

Temping is quite useful I find as it confirms you have ov'd.

Can't you get DP some earmuffs?

I remember a few months ago on here that someone asked how to tell between EWCM and sperm and someone suggested tasting it (tongue in cheek of course). I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself, I told DP and he still asks me if I tasted it to check when I get EWCM.

hi can i join in? i am TTC no 2 and am on cd27 of 1st month of TTC this time round.

took 15 cycles last time and had all but given up when i got pg. ds is only 6 months tom but i dont want to waste time in case it takes forever again!!

good luck everyone!

p.s dressed up and nowhere to go - we are in same boat by a look at the list - just started trying for no2 and nearly on same cd.

fruitloop EWCM should be much more stretchy than your DP's contribution. I get confused too but your man's boys should break more easily when you pull it apart.

If your temp hasn't risen then FF keeps telling you that you might be fertile just in case. FF is telling me I am fertile when I'm pretty sure I'm not. It has to have four days of temp rises to decide you've ov, otherwise you might miss the egg.

It is really hard on a long cycle to keep up the BD'ing, well I think so .

lol claire at talking bollocks (pun intended no?)
xx ei xx

hi fruitloop im around
i have decided to start temping next month if it doesnt go to plan this month so i will prob be in the same boat (sort of) as you with the guessing etc!! i have read that OPKs dont work for everyone so if you are spotting EWCM then chances are your body is getting ready to Ov. i havent got the blindest clue about cervical position tho as it isnt something i have tried myself (also i would need an arm extention as my belly has gone really big over the past week or so (i have bowel problems that are being investigated)
ah well we will get the hang of it eventually...

xx ei xx

Fruitloop I would avoid noting your type of CM until the afternoon if you bd'd the night before. They say that you can tell the difference between spermies and EWCM as spermies aren't stretchy but I think, having throughly examined my OH's offerings, they're talking bollocks.

I have no knowledge of my cervical position as for me that is a step too far. I am still in therapy after seeing a HUGE COLOUR PHOTO of one in that 'taking charge of your fertility' book.
