Ah Alfiemama I love the name Archie too, my lo is an Alfie Jack tho, I love the name Evie too (think I might steal it off you ).

Sorry twoplease, good luck for next month x

Can some one tell me what ewcm and cm is and what it does when ttc (sorry for the ignorance

Had a lovely morning with my DS he is now having a sleep so gonna have a cuppa

RipMacWinkle · 21/08/2008 13:50

Thanks bigtree - at last look (far too much info!!!) it has gone a bit creamy. Ah well it won't hurt to do the deed anyway

Unfortunately no action last couple of days for various reasons so I think we may have missed the boat.

But thanks for the response, I really should read that book that everyone recommends!

Good luck for you too - we must be due af around the same time?

bigtree · 21/08/2008 12:37

Hi ripmacwinkle
I might be mistaken but i'm sure the ewcm happens over a few days around ovulation,i get it for about 3 days. So if it's your first day of the stuff it may mean your about to ovulate and an egg is viable for about 12 hrs so go for it tonight and i'm sure you won't have missed the boat..good luck.

I've got ewcm today and yesterday so i'm keeping everything crossed x

Jael · 21/08/2008 12:04

I'm CD26 today, AF prob not due for another week or so. I did a FR this morning, just cuz it was looking at me lol was BFN of course,am I kidding myself that I could still be pregnant,or am I just testing too early?

RipMacWinkle · 21/08/2008 11:29

Can I ask a TMI question? Have very stretchy clear CM this morning first thing. If we BD tonight, is it too late?

Bad luck twoplease and yellowflowers. Am really, really sorry that this isn't your month. I'm thinking I'll be joining you - I think we've missed the boat this month (see my question above!!)

alfiemama · 21/08/2008 11:23

Sorry af turned up twoplease, Junes a nice time for a month lots of lovely summer months with your new little one

twoplease · 21/08/2008 10:16

Can you bloody believe it?! nipped to the loo after posting last message and lo and behold, have got my period! so, be careful what you wish for if you are attempting reverse psychology like I was.

in for a June one then!!

alfiemama · 21/08/2008 10:10

Hi twoplease (by the way you all have fab names) you have such willpower I gonna take shares out in the dreaded preg tests, this month I got the freebie so hoping its sign.

Congrats Cupcakeandtea you take care

alfiemama · 21/08/2008 10:07

Hi Everyone
Waitingtoexhale and littlemischief (step away from the pee sticks lol)

No Im not using those opks just trying to go off dates really but not really had any ewcm or none to write home about, so just bd every night hubby is knackered lol

Yellowflowers sorry af reared its very ugly head June babies are nice.

Ooh littlemischief another fellow Alfie lover, my name should really be alfieandarchiemama now and hopefully evie when she comes along or Charlie if another boy.

Can I just ask I was on the dreaded Diannette pill has anyone else had any feelings of sickness around ovulation time, last month I was 11 days late I was convinced the stork had paid a visit but about 10 negs later I finally believed I wasnt.

twoplease · 21/08/2008 10:04

Morning - Hi to alfiemama and goodluck.

waiting2Exhale - i am thinking i might hang on til monday now, don't want to waste my test! Have been through the stage of thinking this was my month to now just wishing my period would start so I can get on with next month (and get it out of the way before going on holiday on monday)

The freebie came pretty quickly, about a week i think.

good luck tomorrow littlemiss, would be a lovely pressie and you clearly have iron willpower if you haven't tested with tests in the drawer - respect!!

ForeverOptimistic · 21/08/2008 09:28

Congratulations Cupcake!

Sorry to hear about your AF, yellowflowers. Heres hoping for a June baby!

I am on cd14 so I suppose I should be getting down to some bd, I am just so lazy though.

yellowflowers · 21/08/2008 09:14

AF properly got me this morning.

littlemissmischief · 21/08/2008 08:24

Hi Alfiemama (great name my DS is called Alfie)

W2E - your guess is as good as mine on the AF front could be tom, next month, next year... so all a bit of a guessing game! Have had no symptoms the last couple of days so am now convinced Im not but DP wants to be here when i pee on a stick so waiting till Sat (it is so hard when they are sat in my draw) It is his bday tom so hoping I have an extra gift for him

Sorry Lilliepie - Good luck for nxt month x

lillypie · 21/08/2008 08:07

Good morning ladies

Well I'm out, AF arrived early this morning,two days early

Best of luck to the rest of you and I hope I don't see any of you next month

Waiting2Exhale · 20/08/2008 23:43

Hi Alfiemama...great to see more people joining....happy bd...are you using opk to predict when you are ovulating?

Cupcake...WoW and congrats...am sooooo happy for you whilst at the same time . So wish it were me. Oh well will have to wait until Sunday to find out if I last that long...am soooo itching to pee on a stick its killing me. Symptoms so far now include feeling a little sick after eating, but that might just be due to over-eating also more EWCM which has a hint of yellow in it, sorry if this is tmi....has this happened to anyone else?

twoplease... am testing at the weekend as well, so look forward to seeing you online. How you feeling at the mo? Fantastic news you getting one of those freebie clearblue test things, I filled the form out yesterday so am hoping I get one for the weekend...that would be a fine thing [hmmm]. Not holding my breath. How long did it take you to receive your?

Yellowflowers and nervousal ... wishing you all the luck for june which is also a lovely month to have a baby .

Littlemissmischief... when is the b**h flo jo actually due to arrive....am praying she passes you by. It would be great to get a few more BFP this month.

alfiemama · 20/08/2008 23:00

Hi everyone, can I join you
I am ttc for number 3 and on cd18/32 so will hopefully be bd tonight (sorry hope I have got the abbreviations correct long time since used them) oh and I am on cycle 2

First lo who is 4 (boohoo off to school Sept) took 5 years and is a clomd baby
lo number 2 who is 2 was natural and first time, so heres to hoping for number 3, I have 2 boys so would love a girl but would love and laff me rocks off if I had another boy.

Am I right in saying tonight is a good night for me?

twoplease · 20/08/2008 22:38

Hi everyone,

Cupcake - congrats - its great to have some good news.

Yellowflowers and nervousal - sorry to hear rubbish news about periods - i'm pretty sure i will be joining you next month too as don't 'feel' any symptoms at all now.

have realised i have become a bit obsessed with TTc this month so am trying really hard to return to my 'if it happens, it happens' attitude as i was losing focus on other very important things in my life. That said, if i last til the weekend with no period, it will take a lot to stop me using my clearblue freebie!!!

anyone testing in next couple of days -fingers crossed !!

yellowflowers · 20/08/2008 13:22

Having said that, boobs v sore again right now and blood has stopped. But did test and got BFN. Am holding out now that it isn't start of AF (but probs is)

yellowflowers · 20/08/2008 12:03

Hi nervousal - guess we should start a 'June is an excellent month to have a baby' thread

OP posts:
nervousal · 20/08/2008 11:58

congratulations cupcake and fingers crossed everything goes ok.

Its CD1 for me again - AF arrived this morning.

littlemissmischief · 20/08/2008 08:28

Sorry Yellowflowers, good luck with next month! x

yellowflowers · 20/08/2008 07:50

Yeah, it's a bit more than spotting now. Thanks though... Am very pleaed for you though x

OP posts:
MintChocAddict · 20/08/2008 00:32

Lots of congratulations Cupcake!

cupcakeandtea · 19/08/2008 21:26

Awww, thanks for all your kind messages.

YellowFlowers, that is exactly what happened to me. Was absolutely convinced on Sun that AF had arrived and I'm still checking like mad to make sure i'm still only spotting but two of my main symptoms were bleeding gums and feeling sick that went away when i ate. Could all be coincidental but there might be something in it. I also had bad headaches and odd twinges in my right side.

RipMacWinkle · 19/08/2008 20:56

fab news cupcake! congratulations!

Hopefully now we have our first couple of bfp's there will be many more to come.

Been looking at the list and there's just so many people to get to the top before me. Sheesh. This is hte longest month ever....

Fingers crossed little miss that af will stay away.
