TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

you would be CD14 now if you're 1st day was the 17th Jan, ie/ a proper day of bleeding.

dh/dp-dear husband/partner
cd- cycle day (counted from the first full day of af)
af- aunt flow - period
ob- old bitch- period
dpo- days past ovulation
EWCM - egg white (as cervical fluid which is a sign of ovulation)
CM - cervical Mucus

(per velcro bot earlier in the thread)

What's happened to our stats thread I couldn't find it, will have anohter look for more abs.

can someone explain all these little acronyms you are using coz im lost on this thread! The first day of my last period was 17th Jan.... where the hell does that put me now??

Munni - jess went to bed for 2 hours so i feel a bit better now - still feel really sick! Not sure if thats alcohol or morning sickness!!!?? Honestly - the drink i think!

Oh, and about AF

CD3 here, so month 6 about to start

If you OV on day 14 - then CD1 is the day you have proper bleeding with your AF. So if CD1 is today, CD14 is Saturday 12th Feb (my birthday infact!). So you need to BD for at least a 2 or 3 days before that, and another day afterwards.

BUT bear in mond not everyone OVs on CD14 - hence the every other day BDing from around CD9 to CD18 (or earlier/later).

As well as observing CM - also look out for OV cramping pain.

OK I need your help - to save me trawling through all the posts - esp when I don't understand most of the abbrevs.
AF (got that one!) has just appeared which means Februaury we TTC in earnest! I have pretty regular 28 day cycle so does that mean day 14 is when I am likely to ovulate? I picked up about the discharge but whats all this about every other day? When should I pounce on the DH?? And thereafter, how often?

lol, oh right sorry, it is a pain isn't it!

2ww=2 week wait. Time between ovulation and the dreaded AF - or a positive pregnancy test

sorry ES? (hmm ok then!)

MG they say the sperms need to be in your tubes if poss as you OV so in effect i'd bd the day b4 OV, leave a day then BD again. (apparently you're not ment to do it every day, althou if you'd just OV i don't see the harm in topping up your supply as it were)

Arrggh! This 2ww is driving me round the twist!

Hi you guys back on again to bore you all with the daft questions I asked last night - I think I am on CD10 and EW (is this the right abbr) started appearing so am I looking for it to have elasticity and be quite see through and would I be right in thinking that I OV about 2nd Feb as that will be CD14 but the daftest question I probably asked in my last post last night was can I fall pregnant before CD14 or is it more possible in the 14/15 CD to follow - please dont all be laughing because I will soon be as knowledgable as all you with all your indepth advice.

should find out approx mon 7th.... so much for my rest... just as i lay down, jess wakes up - typical!

well you never know PO. when's AF due?

JM - Well put it this way, i'll be CD3-7 ish and I ov on 12-14 ish so i'll be pinning him down, buttonin down the hatched and gettin ready for some good bd! lol, (i'm off for 3 weeks as well so hopefully we'll get lucky and will be able to tell our parents in person as we'll be travelling all over to see them all.)

Hope you are Jessicasmummy. Give us all some hope. Whens D Day? (Sorry no idea what most of the abbrevs mean)

gonna go get some rest - be back in a bit xxx

afternoon ladies - i have been feeling sick as a dog in morning - yet i know i'm not pregnant - just don't feel like i did with dd - am on cd26

bloody army indeed!!!

sorry M - i know its hard for you, but the next 10 weeks will fly by - i promise! Just make sure when he gets back he doesnt dare move from the bedroom!!!!

if you are... girlie.... oooh I tell you there will be tears and fighting! I don't know 4 months eh!

(I can now be found in the coner whailing IT'S NOT FAIR!!) bloody army!

hey M! suppose we can chat on here now and leave the other thread for any further developments! i feel pregnant and im going off bacon like i did with jess but i just think my mind is playing tricks on me!

pip - wait till we have the round of weekend tester! then it's really mad! I think everyone's busy BD or in the week after OV!

woo hiya JM was wondering if you'd come over on here!

Hula - mine's fairly 'normal' at the mo, bit looser!, I knwo exactly what you mean thou, i'd never discuss this stuff with RL friends over a coffee, they'd think I was mad!

Pip - you're DH sound's just like mine! except after about an hour I'm mean and do a little quiz on what i've told him! I still can't get over he thought my persona was a glasses box, he was all set to have a moan that i'd bought new glasses and all!

u r definately not alone... just hoping for a first time lucky scenario this time round - took 4 months to conceive jess!

Glad its not just me thats paranoid and impatient then!
