I was the same last month, it was so little i thought it was implantation for a while, it's heavier this month tho. I feel a lot better today, symptoms are less and the pain in my tummy has gone today, so maybe i just needed a good period!?? if you can call it that.

Wow you must have timed it perfectly with your son then, have you seen 'she's having a baby?' there's a scene where she is on a moped and rushing around (because it's 'that' time) and she has so much EWCM she slides off the seat! tee hee, disgusting but very funny ... i now have that image of you!

Regarding your AF, are you sure it's an AF? could it possibly be something else? What exactly does grapefruit juice do??

so glad you have relaxed heeby I have too. I was under the dillusion it would work first time. Cycles are regular between 31-34 days no longer. OPKS are no use for me...they just dont work. My son, I had a gush of EWCM hopped on a train got the stuff, came home and bing badda boom a baby!
But only because my FM was right, but it seems to have started hiding since I had my DS, so am going to drink lots and lots of fluid to increase it.

I am really glad you are seeing light at the end of the tunnel....it can be a tought time indeed. Has the doc said anything about what is going on with you?keep going back till you get asnwers....or see a diff doctor...(hug)

Hi all, nelix that is pressure then! (Heeby is being very nieve now!) i always wondered how it worked with donors, it must an emotional journey for you all. Are you having regular cycles though to help you pin point the right time? Was it difficult with your son? sorry for all the questions!

My DH and i decided to 'stop' trying or really stop not trying if that makes sense, i really rely on the summer for my work so i didn;t want to be having a baby in the middle summer months but then if we stop totally we'll have to wait until around Feb - March which won't be great! that's a long way away. So we have just relaxed the rules and will try not to think about it.

Last month was really difficult for us, and i still have all the symptoms (nausea, tiredness, sore (.)(.) and i have a constant pain in my right side which is worrying me a little) so goodness knows what will happen but it feels good to relax about it.

Welcome funtime.....hey heeby sooooooo glad your ok and back with us!....I just figure I wasnt meant to get pregnant last cycle...it will happen when it happens....I am only 28...the only problem I have is access to sperm. My donor can only donate once per cycle so that cuts our chances if we dont get it just right. So I am gonna try this grapefruit juice method to increase my FM.....since I had my son my EWCM does not appear to often....literally away to the shops now to get a load of the horrid stuff!!! Its nice to share my journey with you all and vice versa!

Hi guys ... i'm sorry to have abandoned you. I needed some time to get over my awful month.

So today is CD1 for me, finally AF cameh and although i am still under a dr for strange symptoms and pains i am treating this as a normal month but with short cycles (26 days).

How is everyone feeling? nelix Hi and i'm sorry last month wasn't yours, you such a great support to me i was hoping for good news for you.

funtimewincies · 17/08/2008 19:25

Hi nelix, just got back from a weekend away and logged in to check progress. Sorry to hear that this isn't the month.

I'm CD3 today and would love to join you (pulls up a comfy cushion passes a large G&T to nelix and littlemissdaisy ).
