Hey ladies looks like it might rain here tomorrow. I know that?s nothing to you lot (so sorry it?s been so bad for you this summer ) but we haven?t had a drop since we arrived here at the end of May.

Littlemissmischief ? no worries! I don?t believe anything is TMI when you are TTC I?d say yes, if you?ve got lots of CM, creamy or resembling egg white, go for it, sperm can live for up to 5 days in fertile quality CM so you can still successfully get pg even if you had sex before you ovulate and before you get a positive OPK by the way, that?s nonsense about the sperm weakening from lots of sex, if anything, you want the freshest you can get so its better to keep at it

Mintchocaddict ? sorry hon. Yup join Knicker Checking Anonymous! sounds weird but it?s interesting.

1littleprincess ? good list LOL forgot about that episode of Friends!

Sans04 ? thanks hon All the best for 15/9.

Way hey Febes ? fabulous!!! congratulations hon!!!

Yellowflowers ? good job! have you tried drinking grapefruit juice? sounds silly but it did increase my EWCM when I was trying for DS

Waiting2exhale ? time for a rest for you

?.no clue what?s happening here

Well on CD16 today and still no positive on the OV stick but could be having a long cycle I suppose, might start BD anyway just incase

Hope everyone else is ok, i scanned the thread but not really read it all so will try to catch up soon. x

Congratulation to you Febes, i am very happy for you hopfully same thing happen to us too.

Waiting2Exhale · 08/09/2008 11:08

P.s. sorry for all the grammar mistakes...

Waiting2Exhale · 08/09/2008 11:06

Hi all....OPK's still confusing but have kept bding regardless....and temps are now up today which would seem to mean I ovulated yesterday...

Soooo officially on 2ww and if my temping is correct I would just in time for a May baby....nice (However, a june, august, September etc etc etc baby would be just as nice...hehehehe ).

Febes major congrats....and major respect for waiting as long as you have this month....and can only pray for the same strenght

1LittlePrincess thanks for undating the list...was completely lost on that ...

Welcome to all the newbies I havn't said hello to yet...wishing you all the best this month...great start so far with Febes.

yellowflowers · 08/09/2008 10:25

Hello,

Congrats Febes.

Have been on holiday so no internet access. Managed to bd every day from 13-17 (cycle is 30 days) so fingers crossed... No chance yesterday (cd18) but will try tonight just to make sure. Didn't get any positives on opk sticks though and only a little ewcm.

MintChocAddict · 07/09/2008 23:48

Loads of congratulations to you Febes!! . Hopefully more of us to follow.

Talking to DH again. He bought me some doughnuts!!

LMM - Cycles have been like that since I was a teenager (many moons ago!!) Rarely get cramps or heavy bleeding. Just got used to it's strange ways over the years, I suppose.

Good luck to all. Check back in soon.

lillypie · 07/09/2008 21:51

JLo2 · 07/09/2008 21:34

1LittlePrincess · 07/09/2008 21:32

Good Luck to everyone else may Febes good news lead to many more BFP's

JLo2 · 07/09/2008 21:08

Hoorah for Febes

I think you were a saint not to test early, but it was definitely worth it

Hi all, sorry I was away because of the weekend and the time difference between us.

MrsMcJnr: thank you for your welcoming, Spain, Wow I like Spain hopfully one Day I will come for holiday. all the best to you and all others on this thread, fingers crossed for all of us.

LittlePrincesss: thank you for that informaition, hope that happened, let you know that I am on CD 20, and TTC almost for 18 months. I do have a sore boobs and going to the toilet during night 3-4 times even I know still early to have these symptoms, anyway some time I am seally sometimes, but i will have a PGT next monday the 15th. all the best for everyone.

littlemissmischief · 07/09/2008 10:37

1LittlePrincess - My youve been busy, thankyoufor updating the list its nice to see where everyone is, plus id forgot what day i was on so thanks . Also thankyou for the advice with the CM hoping I get a positive on the Ov stick today then double reason to BD but will probably do it anyway now youve said that, does anyone agree that you shouldnt do it too much cos the sperm gets weaker or less (cant remember which) ive heard this alot but not sure how true it is. I always think of that scene in Friends, it is soooo funny i can imagine that being me and DP too

Febes - Really hope you get your BFP you have the willpower of superwoman and so deserve it fingers tightly crossed for you!

Mintchoc - hope you make up with DH soon, do you know why your cycles are a bit muddled? Mine is down to endometriosis!

1LittlePrincess · 07/09/2008 07:10

Morning All Hope everyone has a good day Dont know why I am up so damn ealry on a Sunday DD is still fast aleep but im wide a wake (makes a change)

Sans04 I forgot to say that Ovulation usually take place when a follicle is between 2-2.5 cm according to my biology books, so if you had a follicle of 27mm & 21 mm this is 2.7 cm & 2.1 cm, so you could well have Ov on CD 9/10

Have a nice day ALL x

1LittlePrincess · 07/09/2008 00:36

WoW that was a task LOL fingers crossed its right!

Febes - Fingers and toes crossed for you, all looks very +ve for you. Understand why you are holding off the testing, but just wanted to congratulate you on being able to

littlemissmischief - arnt these threads all about being able to share the TMI stuff that you wouldnt beable to chat about over coffee with anyone else TMI as much a syou like
The stuff that sperm like is usually clear and more watery which maybe why it appears there is a large volume. So yeah get BD'ing! Enjoy! Sperm can live for up to 4-5 days in this type of mucus (E mucus)

MintChocAddict - Sorry to hear that you and your DH arnt getting on hope you make it up soon. DP is in my bad books too as he is away at the end of next week CD 14-18, I know he hasnt done it on purpose but still in a mood. LOL!! Reminds me of an episode of friends when Monicha and chandler were TTC, and they had an arguement and because she was OV she said she forgave him till after they had BD and then she carried on the arguement.....Classic

1LittlePrincess · 07/09/2008 00:16

I thought that I would task myself with adding the newbies to the list and updating everyone elses info Just copied from previos list and amended so really hope that I have everyone's info correct and that Ive not missed anyone off the list.

Should be correct from Sunday 7th

MintChocAddict · 06/09/2008 23:55

Hi Rosylee and Madmarried.

Sounds promising Febes. Fingers crossed for you!

MrsMcJnr - Unfortunately AF has re-appeared with a vengence. My cycles are pretty stop-start so never very sure when to officially start CD. Very interesting about CM. Didn't use that method when TTC DC1 but sounds very easy to do so reckon I'll have a look this month for changes.

It's probably a good thing that AF is here at the moment as DH and I are at each others throats today so little chance of anything happening anyway! I'm sure we'll be talking again by next week.

littlemissmischief · 06/09/2008 23:25

MrsMcJnr - Im with you know, sorry for being so stupid but i completely forgot you asked what I did for a living I dont mind you being nosy just didnt want to go on about my job and you were on about something else lol, but trust me it is defo not intresting in any way
Why did I never know all this stuff about CM before im such a novice....Can i do a TMI then?? Obviously I never really looked before with the CM thing (mainly cos I didnt know about it) but obvioulsy with the Ov sticks Ive had to wee in a container every day and the last few days ive seen it and like ALOT! does that mean I sohuld be BD even tho ive not had a postitve on the Ov sticks - sorry again for the TMI

MrsMcJnr · 06/09/2008 21:24

Littlemiss ? it was something to do with work re CM, you?ll have your own particular pattern but generally, the first few days of the cycle are dry or sticky, then the stickiness builds up and becomes more creamy and then just around ovulation it becomes like egg white ? that?s the precious stuff as sperm lives in it and travels in it to the egg! Then as you get closer to AF, it becomes sticky again. So in short, if it?s creamy or like egg white, get busy!!!

Welcome rosylee ? sorry about the negative test and AF talk to us instead of DH!

Ohhh Febes, exciting!! fingers crossed. And for you Lilypie

rosyleecupoftea my DP thinks I'm mad too!!

DPO 3 here and determined not to test until sept. 17th.

Off on holiday on Monday so that should take my mind off the wait.

Good luck to everyone testing in the meantime
