.... lovely!! thanks Girlwithacurl will try and look out for it. I don't remember ever seeing this before though and i've got pregnant twice, maybe i'm just not very observant! whats the situation with cervix shape then! (she says trying to become an expert in two minutes)

girlwithacurl · 06/01/2009 09:37

littlemiss excuse if tmi... you need to look out for EWCM (Egg white cervical mucas, or fluid if you hate the m word, which my DP does ) this should look like egg white and be stretchy. This is like the fluid sperm live in and means they can survive for longer. Most people only get 2-3 days of EWCM, although it can depend on your age, diet etc. Apparently drinking grapefruit juice can increase it, but I can't make myself drink it yuck... When you identify EWCM its go go go!!!

Hello - can I join you all? AF finally arrived this morning - after being 4 days late - I was so convinced that this time I was PG despite the negative HPT! Anyway... am going to try again this month in earnest - so I've added my name to your list - hope thats ok?

morning ladies

right, I have been doing ov tests and thats fine, but before i had my miscarriage two weeks ago i always had no line at all except the day or two where the LH peaked for ovulation. I have been doing them a week and the last two nights i've had a faint line. I'm confused about whether thats a peak or not?

so... i thought i best find out something about CM and cervix shape. I have to admit i've avoided getting too into this as it seems a bit yuck to me . But i think i need to see if there are any other signs that suggest ovulation. can anyone talk me through what i should be looking for???

hi girls!

ive updated cds for today. (if its wrong pls change it)

hello to the new girls !

trixie i was in the same boat as you before af arrived. i was 2 months late. i went to the dr twice. on the first occasion he said.. 'ER your either pregnant or your period will be here very soon.' then i went again a few weeks later and she said it can be normal for women to just miss periods for up to 6 months! (not heard that before either) but she refered me for a hcg blood test which too came back -tive. that was the 18th dec and then on the 4th jan af arrived no explanation.

i know how awful it is when you just want to get busy with ttc and you have no idea where you are in your cycle.

hope she comes soon xxx

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one feeling impatient. Now that we have decided we are as ready for a baby as we'll ever be I just want to get on with it. I can't wait to be pregnant (although then I'll probably just be impatient to get the next nine months over and have my baby ).

WizzyWoo · 05/01/2009 23:42

Great idea. I'm so excited by this - I don't want to tell any of my friends/family that we're ttc so I've been feeling about to burst with keeping it a secret. It's so good to be chatting to others about this

1LittlePrincess · 05/01/2009 23:33

Im with you wizzywoo I'm only on CD2 and feeling really impatient this cycle. Cant wait for the witch to go on her merry way and leave me to make a baby

LOL earlynite...the classic I'm not a machine line...to which you answer(or maybe just mumble)while im Ov you are

Have organised the list so that we are able to see who is first to test etc hope this is ok x

I think I'll be one of the last to test, having just started AF today. Just want it over so can start BDing asap - I'm like a child waiting for xmas! Thanks for warm welcome and good luck to all of us.

earlynite · 05/01/2009 22:33

You will be before me theboob My AF due around 23rd or 24th.

theboob · 05/01/2009 22:17

thanks all ,will look at that site thankyou ralphie

i have no idea how long my cycle is ,this will be my first month of ttc,have also been looking on fertility friend so think AF is due on the 21st jan.......i really dont want to wait that long it goes so slow lol

hope you are all keeping well and poor DH did not look happy when i informed him that i'm really sorry but we need to send the troops in

so who is testing first on this thread ?

Ralphie0956 · 05/01/2009 21:32

Evening, I OV on the 16th day from start of my period and my cycle is 30 days on av.
They do say that 14 days is the norm, but it can vary!
I've downloaded a free trial of an OV calender that highlights your must fertile points within the month including when you ov, all you need to know is your last period and av cycle lenght (which we all know off by heart) .

hhtp://www.ovulation-calendar.com
It's a 45day free trial which is enough time to figure out when when you OV.

earlynite · 05/01/2009 21:21

Hello everyone, thought i would share something. My hubby is gettng a bit presious. "He's not a machine you know"

Hobnobfanatic · 05/01/2009 21:02

Ah, just found that CD means Cycle Day (thank God for the archives!).
So I'm on CD 5 today...

StealthPo09IsHere · 05/01/2009 20:45

Hi everyone
Wow this is a busy thread, welcome to all the new people and hello to the september people.
We should ahve loads of people who don't join the ...November thread, keeping my fingets crossed

TrixieVix · 05/01/2009 20:45

Quick update - still no AF (not had one since 6th October 2008!) and just done ANOTHER test with a BFN. So confused, but finally pulled my finger out and booked a Dr's appointment for blood tests tomorrow. What do you think they'll ask/do?

TTC #2 cycle 2.
1st dat of AF on 1 Jan.
What does CD mean? (Forgive my ignorance!)

My LO is 5 yo old now, and I'm with a new partner. I'm terrified that we're both too old to conceive now, so hopefully this will bring us luck! (I'm 37, OH 40 and never had kids before).

Fingers crossed!

1LittlePrincess · 05/01/2009 20:23

Evening all

Welcome to people who have joined the thread today. Fingers crosed for everyone and massive sprinklings of babydust.

Im so bored of AF already and only on CD2 LOL. Really want to crack on with the BabyDancing now.

theboob If you have a regular 28 day cycle then you would normal OV on CD14. My cycles are anything between 30-34, I usually Ov CD16-18. HTH
