CONGRATS Nellstar!! that is great news!!!!

Nellstar · 08/06/2008 09:01

Clearly First Response weren't lying with their test 6 days early marketing. 10 dpo at 4am yesterday (yes I know, mad) did a test and BFP!!
Can't believe it, probably won't until past the point of the last m/c (6 weeks). So sorry tink for your af, here's to next month.

shubiedoo · 07/06/2008 22:47

Congratulations Heron! I remember you from a previous 2ww in March...
I'm due Mon/Tue and will not be testing until Father's Day, would be a nice present for dh! We only just decided to go for a third though this cycle, so I'll be surprised if it happens this soon.

chocciedooby · 07/06/2008 21:09

Thanks Heron.
How long is that supposed to last for?

heron22 · 07/06/2008 21:06

hi choccie, it stands for egg white cervical mucus.

chocciedooby · 07/06/2008 21:02

Can someone tell me what ewcm stands for? . I have a fair idea bit just wanted to clarify.

tink08 · 07/06/2008 05:37

ARRRRGGGHHH af got me yesterday and really really heavy i've never had one like this before sorry if tmi but i was allowing myself kind of to think it might be possible this month
oh well gud luck to you guys waiting this week

dinkyboysmum · 06/06/2008 20:30

when we were ttc last time i tried everything in the end. DH was on vitamin C supplements (as a mner told me they help the little swimmers), temped, opk, i had evening primrose oil from cd1 till O, green tea from cd1 till O, even splashed out on a couple of refexology sessions. that was defo 'all bases covered'...you'd think i was totally mad, but it worked, so dont knock it!!
Rachrox - i hadnt realised it was father's day next sunday-thanks for that!! i agree, prob be joining you in testing on weds, then keep secret till father's day! that'd be fab!

queenie1 · 06/06/2008 18:09

Thanks Heron. Will obviously keep you posted!

How's it all going with you and your little one?

heron22 · 06/06/2008 18:01

hi queenie, enjoying BDing definitely helps

signs to look out for are EWCM and temp really.

hi little, you're right, you've got all bases covered

Babydust to you all

queenie1 · 06/06/2008 17:01

good luck with it all LMD!

sounds like we are at pretty similar points in our cycle so we can symptom spot and go mad together. Told myself to be zen-like goddess this month - relax and try to think only positive thoughts. Been to yoga twice this week but try as I might, and if honest, still manic

My sex life has, up until now, been rapidly disintegrating each and every month we try. But this month DH and me are in a much better zone and actually really enjoying BDing. Hopefully a good omen?

Happy BDing...and here's to showering baby dust all over us!

littlemissdaisy · 06/06/2008 16:53

Hiya Queenie, Glad I am not the only one that starts to get excited as oon as AF has finished, I am only CD6 and have well and truly got my TTC hat on, I have just started temping this cycle, don't really understand it tho but its early days , also my last day of taking my Clomid for this cycle and also using the clearblue fertility monitor, got all bases covered this month.

queenie1 · 06/06/2008 16:33

Hi all

Now about 9 days into my current cycle and getting excited again...looking for any signs of ovulation and BDing like mad...think it's probably way too early for me to be ovulating yet, but just in case...

Signs I'm looking for are changes in vaginal discharge (tmi?). Still no EWCM. Don't temp or anything else that I know some of you do as bit intimidated by all that but are there any obvious signs to look for???

Hope all you people at a similar stage have good weekends with lots of BDing!!!

Rachrox · 06/06/2008 10:24

Hi Dbm,
I've only been ttc for 2 months, but already fed up of living in 2 week cycles! How about u?
I'm hoping AF doesn't show on 13th, then hopefully i'll hold out to do a test till the sunday as it's fathers day, but knowing me i'll probably start testing from weds onwards!! Then try to keep it secret till the sunday
Here's wishing us both some luck x x

dinkyboysmum · 05/06/2008 20:54

hi rachrox
hope fri 13th is lucky for you! i'm due sat 14th...will be a miracle if i hold out & dont test till then though! you been ttc for long?

dinkyboysmum · 05/06/2008 20:03

had ewcm all day, quite a lot too, but have read this can be quite common after O. also been, not 'cramping', but feeling quite tender down there. reading everything into everything & feeling every twinge! i know i shouldnt be too obsessed, but...!!!

Rachrox · 05/06/2008 17:00

Hi Ladies,
I'm new to this site so just having a look around...
My Af due on friday 13th! Not sure if that's a bad or good omen?? ...lol.. Hopefully this will be my month.
Good luck to everyone else on here, hope you all get ure BFP's.

heron22 · 05/06/2008 14:50

hi last, i hope you feel better very soon
always have hope, you never know until AF comes.

good luck !

lastboxoftampons · 05/06/2008 12:57

PMSL at "wasting my FMU"!

Hi everyone. Not been on here much because I just don't feel like we've been successful thsi month so see no reason in obsessing. In fact, any "symptoms" that I might have are the same ones I had last month and I was clearly not pregnant. I've been really down about my mc in March lately and I had a moment of 'maybe I'm overemotional because..." but put it out of my head!

Hoep you're all well!

queenie1 · 05/06/2008 11:56

Heron - thanks for posting up your early symptoms...will use it as a reference point later in the month!

Tink - as Emma says, fingers crossed. The brown blood may, and hopefully, be implantation bleeding?

Welcome dinky...your symptoms sound promising but note what Heron says...she didn't really have a clue, and was convinced AF was actually on its way!!! Again, though, fingers crossed, x

dinkyboysmum · 05/06/2008 11:40

oops, not sure why that posted three times??!
