Hi All

Thought I start the new thread before we ran out of space on the old one!

Hopefully good old Vita (Zita!!) will sprinkle some babydust on us all...

Ha! You totally deserve the brownies, Ready! Can't bring myself to cut chocolate either as I have a family bag of Maltesers stashed away for the weekend

Changed my name! There was a 'clairvoyant' already but I wanted to be clairvoyant too ... hence 'clairvoyanttoo'

Walking 15 minutes a day sounds perfect ... good plan! Looking forward to our reports tomorrow

Ready · 22/04/2008 20:17

Ok... can't do no choc as I bought brownies for supper ... I think I deserve them.

But I am up for exercise every day. How about walking for 15 minutes every day?

I like Clairvoyant - that works well!!!

ClairLesley · 22/04/2008 19:52

Great, FYM!! What about more exercise? Anything extra counts as a plus?!?! What do you think?

fym · 22/04/2008 19:39

Ok what shall we do this week clair???

I'm up for more exercise or no chocolate?

Really Ready?? LOVE IT!! Maybe I should change my name to Clairvoyant I do need to change it to something more exciting ... any ideas?

Ready · 22/04/2008 18:35

I'll try not to be totally freaked out that you just put one of my potential baby names in a message to me ClairLesley

crossingallbutlegs · 22/04/2008 18:04

eve ladies
hoping mine is a reovulation dip clairel
any thoughts
i am so sure that i must have ovulated as ewcm and temp rises match up.
any thoughts

ClairLesley · 22/04/2008 17:35

I had a nice post-ov temp this morning so I've everything crossed (including my legs ... tired of BD'ing!) I get my lines tomorrow.

Maybe we should make a commitment to try something new or do better with something we're already doing each month? We could all do the same thing or else choose individual goals & just share them? Potential examples: visualizing ourselves with a baby daily, drinking 2 litres of water daily, doing better with vitamins/supplements, legs up the wall after BD sessions (?), etc etc What do you think?

Hi everyone!

Herby ... so funny we're in the same EWCM boat this month! I spotted mine the day after (I hope) I ov-ed. It was just on one occasion in the afternoon but it was extremely stretchy ... would have been delighted with it before ov!!

Sarah & Prepg ... thanks for letting me know you've had some after ov too. Very reassuring!

Ready ... sorry about the poor bird, that would have upset me too This is a brand new cycle, Scarlett!

Lottie ... dreaming is a very good sign!

Squackycake · 22/04/2008 16:44

If it's after 6pm I count it the next day, regardless of flow.

So I would have you at cd1, with an LP of 12.

fym · 22/04/2008 16:24

ok have the fertility hypnotherapy and at 14.99 mp3 player! - will report back tomorrow!

ClairePO · 22/04/2008 15:11

CD1 today! Definitely.

Ready · 22/04/2008 15:08

Ok... well if we are doing TMI... basically, I went to the toilet not really expecting my period til the morning, as I usually come on in the mornings. And there was a fair bit of red blood when I wiped. Twice. I put on a pad - but there was no more blood the rest of the night. And none first thing this morning until about 9. So do you think that makes it CD1 today?

sarah76 · 22/04/2008 14:43

Ready, I also don't count spotting as AF starting. Only count CD1 when there is actual red flow requiring a pad or tampon. So does that make your LP 12 days again?

Rattling, well, if Seaside said after 4pm then I bet that is spot on. I am not sure what to do really. I guess I could count today as 1, and see what happens this cycle. I can always go back and adjust. Thanks.

ClairLesley, thanks again for responding so quickly last night. It hadn?t really started in earnest, but it was more than spotting. Full flow really kicked in today though, so will go with that. Although totally confused. Haha.

Lottie, do you think I should count today as cd1? Or cd2 then? I am glad that you have been having all these positive dreams ? it is a really good sign. Love Cecily Frances too It shows that you are able to picture yourself with a baby. Something I am struggling with at the moment ?

Minxi, ta for the hot cross buns ? if only I has some real ones in the house. How are you feeling? Do you know how long we have been posting together now!! It?s been a long time

Fym, there?s nothing wrong with an 11day lp, I just meant for me, 12/13 as a rule, it is a little weird. But like you say 11.99 is fine. Plan of action for me is to chill out, and I am reading Zita West?s book at the mo, and going to try and eat more of the good list foods and less of the bad foods list. But other than that, just going to get excited about my holiday!

Prepg, sorry to hear that you have still got some spotting at this stage in your cycle How frustrating. How long do you bleed for as a rule?

sarah, Thanks for looking at my chart, it?s funny, I showed dh last night, and mused myself at the possibility of that too. For now I am going with CD1 as today, and see what happens. It was an odd cycle anyway, so trying not to worry too much.

How is everyone?? I found a dead bird on my patio today, which really upset me

PrePG · 22/04/2008 11:15

Crossed with Lottie and just wanted to say I think that's a beautiful name for a little girl!

Also, another one here delighted to have an LP of 11 days!!! Ready I got pregnant with just a 10 day LP and stayed pregnant until 11 weeks - so a short LP isn't necessarily game over!

Ready - really sorry to see back at the top . I wouldn't worry too much about your slightly shorter LP as it did seem you were having an unusual cycle. I think it was Seaside who convinced me to count AF after 4pm as the following day, and with my awful LP I cling to that - but 11(.99) days is fine anyway.

Lottie - sounds like the positive thinking is working

sarah76 · 22/04/2008 10:24

Ready, another thought I had looking at your chart. Is it possible you actually O'd two days earlier? There is a temp missing in there, and you did have EWCM. That would make your LP 13, and since LP is not supposed to vary much, it would be in keeping with your previous cycles......

So sorry ready Not sure about when your new cycle should start. I had late spotting - about 10pm - this cycle and I didn't record it so that my CD1 was the day after. But since it's my first period since mc I wasn't sure what to do. Here it is CD9 and I've still got spotting/light flow

herby good luck!!!!

ClairL I'm sure I've had EWCM after O as well, but not a lot.
