Morning ladies, happy Friday :)

EWCM started appearing this morning - not the proper stuff but looks like it's coming if you see what I mean... DTD last night but didn't manage it this morning - way too tired (oh dear, this seems to be a common theme in our SWI efforts!) Now I'm away till Sunday afternoon... really hoping that I'm not going to miss my window - hang on there eggy till tomorrow at least!

GTR yeah I was more affected by Jobs than I thought I'd be. However, annoyingly the thing that's made me most tearful is the Disneyland TV ad when the kids get told that they're going on hols to Disney. That bought a tear to my eye this morning. Pathetic. This TTC lark is making me soft - I'm not normally a crying person at all!!

GTR2882 · 07/10/2011 10:36

Lol - I don't really cry either!! I have turned over a completely new leaf today for TTC - i think i might stop with the temping because i don't sleep well and i don't think I can accurately use the temps because i never get a full nights sleep. Will try the OPKs and CM/CP but just going to see how things go for a while! Have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday so I am going to see what is said then (i have had AF 3 times since coming off the pill in June 2010) something is not right (am a little concerned that i am over weight and that might be stopping my ovaries from working correctly!! Having said that i has a chubby friend who has got 5 kids now so maybe not!! And my SIL was not exactly slim when she had her first!! We will see!!

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 10:42

GTR that sounds like a good plan - if you're not sure that the temps are correct then it's probably not worth the effort of faffing around first thing in the morning.

Fingers x-d for the doc's and that they give you some answers/possible solutions.

I'm erring over whether to make a quick detour home for SWI before heading off for the weekend... I think I might be coming up to ov time if my CM is anything to go by and really don't wanna miss out. GTR tell me I'm not crazy and that this is in fact a logical idea Blush?!

GTR2882 · 07/10/2011 10:45

You are defintely not going crazy loulou i think that sounds like a very sensible idea especially as you are not going to be around for potential ov day (lets hope you ov Sunday :)) - getting an extra one in today would mean that you could have a day off tomrrow anyway and then get back on to it on Sunday!!!

GTR2882 · 07/10/2011 10:56

I just have a quick question - anyone else know what their CM does just before AF? AF for me should happen on Sunday and I thought (perhaps foolishly) that you were supposed to be dry(ish) up there but I am far from it, although my CP is low, it's soft when it should be firm and my CM is creamy white and in abundance!! Confused

Mama5isalive · 07/10/2011 10:59

Ohhhh loulou get on in there I think we are both in sync I also believe I'm close to ov- ing and swi last nite and will again tomo and Sunday!
I may go get a clearblue ov-ing kit I'm sure it was £20 or so!
What do u think or maybe just swi over weekend and then back to eod just incase! No elec all day workmen doing something so I'm on my iPhone again!
This moving is driving me mad so much to flippin do!
Spending way too much money don't have and then second guessing ourselves to see if we really need all thus stuff!
We do!!!!! Get paid next week so not long now!
GTR- yeh stop temping if it's not working and yeh opk sounds good!
And cm/cb watching!!!! Have to see if mines is on the increase!
Off to do more packing! Lol x

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 11:18

I just don't think I'm going to be able to get back tonight without a lot of extra stress and hassle so that plan's out unfortunately :(

I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best -

If it's not my month this month then we'll go onto next month - at least my cycles will settle down further so I'll have a better idea of where we are with oving. I'm being firm with myself and telling myself not to stress that we could be missing out as this weekend has been planned for ages and I'm really looking forward to catching up with friends. This is only our third cycle straight off the pill of trying so it's early days yet :)

Hope your move goes ok mama - phew, sounds like some deep relaxation breathing is needed - aaaaannnnd deep breath in through your nose and right into your lungs - let your chest expand, take the breath down to the bottom of your chest......... and release :)

GTR not sure 100% but I think what you say is right - and if it's different CM from what you normally experience then something could be up... Wink

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 11:19

...and overuse of smiley faces goes to ... me

GTR2882 · 07/10/2011 11:29

I love the smileys!! They are happy and positive!! You are right though - TTC is supposed to be enjoyable not stressfull!! I think all will be fine and that you will ov on Sunday

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 11:52

I have booked the earliest train i could get away with on Sunday for earliest SWI opportunities! Haven't had proper EWCM yet and no ov twinges so fingers crossed. If it's not to be though, it's not to be. People seem to be making babies left, right and centre without too much trouble (or any effort whatsover Hmm)so it's going to happen at some point, right? Confused

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 11:53

p.s.

:) :) Grin :) :)

iloveberries · 07/10/2011 13:17

aaah, you ladies are funny! Grin

loulou AND mama looks like we have synced our ovs. i reckon i'm ovving either yesterday or before monday but not quite sure and not using OPKs or temping... when are your AFs due? oh, hold on i can look back for that can't i!

loulou i hope you have a lovely weekend. i am in the same boat about feeling i should be here bonking all weekend but actually a weekend with a load of raucous hens is excatly what i need. Enjoy many a vino and have lots of fun. As GTR says, your DHs swimmers will be hanging around on some tube corner waiting for the egg :) Hopefully the same will happen for me!

To all you other ladies, happy shagging/checking of CM/x factor weekend.

Good Luck!!

iloveberries · 07/10/2011 13:19

ps. meant tosay GTR CM post ov can be a sign of pregnancy but i had it last month for the first time and of course got BFN..... i think it's like most of this TTC lark - the answer varies depending on which google link you click on!!

festiemum · 07/10/2011 13:40

Yay! I too am probably ovulating this weekend, so let the sperm be abundant and the eggs be fertilised! :o

Enjoy your weekend Loulou, as GTR says, the egg hangs around for 12/24 hours afterwards so there should be ample 'catch the egg' opportunity on Sunday!

GTR - Just adding my voice to say that, yes, an abundance of CM before AF is due can mean you're PG. I was certainly very wet down there when I had my chemical, and with previous pgs. FX!!

Mama Hope the move is going OK, and you're managing to find a sanctuary in SWI-ing (amazing you can find the energy during a move!)

Happy SWI berries - you're away this weekend too though, aren't you? Hope you caught the egg/will catch it after you get back.

Well we have 4 SWIs worth of LBP and my kids are at their Dad's this weekend, so it's operation GUFFED here at chez Festie!

Have a great weekend all! :)

iloveberries · 07/10/2011 14:12

hey festie thanks for the luck and glad you're in the ov club too!!
hopefully something will happen this month. am elevated as we speak after impromptu SWI Wink WinkWink TMI??sorry!!

Getting the 4pm train so better get up soon and get ready to party!

hope you and your DH have a fun weekend without the kids (ironic that you'll be trying to make another!!)

enjoy x

GTR2882 · 07/10/2011 14:13

Thank you ladies :) even if I am not, you have made me so happy and Thanks for all the support!! Just had a boozy lunch oops!! But can't really let TTC get in the way of life, it's too short and let's face it, with my erratic cycles the likelihood of a sticky bean being in there is not that likely at this juncture!! I actually want AF so i can move on to next cycle and speak to the doc about the best way forward!! If no AF on Sunday then I am def going to test but not getting my hopes up - have no symptoms at all!!!

Festie Whoop - get in there and get nicely SWI'd up!!!

Mama good luck with the move :)

berries and loulou hope this is the cycle for you :)

One and all - have a great weekend (I am at my parents this weekend, so access will be limited, don't want any awkward questions being asked!!)

louloubellamozzarella · 07/10/2011 14:42

Ah what a nice message. I must say, it's soo much fun to have my secret TTC friends on here to catch up with and you're really keeping me and my impatient personality going too Grin

Have a lovely weekend away GTR and a great hen berries. Festie, enjoy the child free SWI haven too. Looks like we're all off for fun weekends!

Right, I should log out and finish off my work so I can run off for my train later. Catch up on Monday y'all :)

Mama5isalive · 07/10/2011 16:34

Rusulka · 08/10/2011 22:54

Hi ladies,

Fell off the June bus spectacularly this morning, so back to square one.
Can't believe doggy style didn't do it for us, I was CONVINCED!

Got a right shitty on about the whole thing, so going to sulk for the next 5 days, then use what remains of DH's week off to practice some none-dribbly positions.

Wah.

(All golden grahams gone, and on a semi-health kick, so no chocs I'm afraid)

GTR2882 · 09/10/2011 10:09

Oh Rusulka damn that witch!!! Argh!!! Today is hag whore day for me, have some cramping but just went for a rummage to check CP etc and there is not even the hint of her! I think she's a-coming though because of the cramps but just wish she'd get a wriggle on so I can get on with next cycle!!

festiemum · 09/10/2011 12:05

Well, GTR - I've said it before and I'll say it again - it ain't over till the hag whore spurts! Hope she doesn't and your cramping is uterine stretching!

Lovely to see you Rusulka - but sorry the hag got you. Welcome though! We're having fun on this flight! :)

Well I drank far too much last night, so I think my temp rise was probably more to do with that than any shift, so think I'm still in the game - lots of ewcm this morning, so late brekkie then a final SWI before we go and collect the kids!

Oh yes, Rusulka - me too on the health kick front - I'm even doing the food diary thing on myfitnesspal..... Weighed myself and got a nasty shock, so thought it might be conducive to attaining pregnancy if I wasn't the size of a small whale to start with. Bloody boring though (and the large amount of beer I drank last night was a bit of a slip - oops!)

Hope you got your SWI in Mama, despite all the nightmarish moving stuff you've got to sort out.

Right . Late brekkie then SWI. . Ladies, I'm going in.
