Hey GTR - ewcm does just look a hell of a lot like egg white. It's clear and slippery and stretchy, and, would you believe -lots of women seem to enjoy posting their pics of it on the internet!!!!

ewcm

It can stretch as far as your fingers will go, but I think the most I've got was about 3-4 inches!

Well, taking my temps orally definitely is a no go for me. This morning I got the temp of someone with mild hypothermia! [hshock]

GTR2882 · 16/10/2011 11:56

Blimey festie [hshock] on both counts (for hypothermia and the pics of EWCM) I think there is a line, and that line is sharing internal juices with the wide world!! Talking about it is one thing, but pictures for all and sundry to see is just a step to far for me [hblush]

Right then, I can categorically say i have never had EWCM [hsad] - thank god for Pre-Seed [hgrin]

festiemum · 16/10/2011 12:41

Ha ha! I know! There's a point right, where internally you would say this is just TMI - the world does not need to see my cervical fluid. If you do a google image search for 'egg white cervical mucus' there are PAGES of it!!!! [hshock]

As you well know, GTR the absence of EWCM means nothing; and if you're using pre-seed all the better! In the days before pre-seed; it was suggested you use actual egg whites as a lubricant during your fertile times - how mad is that?!! [hgrin]

I don't know how you do all the waiting GTR; I feel like I'm going slighly bonkers not knowing exactly what's going on with my cycle, and I've hardly waited at all compared to you. Putting ff on different settings, I'm either 10 dpo; 6 dpo or I haven't ovulated at all!!! [hconfused]

Hope everyone's having a great weekend. Glad your move was OK mama. Have a great holiday busta.

GTR2882 · 16/10/2011 13:19

Cramps are back!! AF imminent i think! Please let it be [prays to the gods emoticon]

floralflora · 16/10/2011 14:54

Hello all Smile. Couldn't bring myself to click on the ewcm link - eeewww. Don't even check my own cm although a few cycles down the road I may give it a go.

I'm obsessed with symptom spotting at the moment. I reckon I'm 10 or 11 dpo. Got very tender boobs although I had that last month so can't put too much weight on that as a Sign. The other one is that since Thursday I haven't slept a wink. I'm well overtired but spent the last three nights tossing and turning. Probably just coz I've got a lot going on at the moment and a very busy week ahead, but do you think insomnia could be a pg symptom? Haven't got any pg sticks so gotta buy some this week.

GTR2882 · 16/10/2011 15:03

floral sounds promising - i have heard/read that a lot of women get restless at night-time!! Are you going to the toilet a lot more often as well?? Fx'd that you are the first on the flight to get to BFPland [hgrin]

floralflora · 16/10/2011 15:20

Thank you GTR. I've just worked out what Fx means! I couldn't work it out so for the last 2 months I've been reading "Fairydust" whenever I saw it!! Actually I quite like my misinterpretation Grin.

louloubellamozzarella · 16/10/2011 16:26

Oh no, fairydust [hgrin] I put that in the same awful category as 'baby dance' which makes me want to just shout CAN WE NOT SAY SHAG?!

Sorry about that, not sure where that rant came from. It does sound kinda postive though floral - I'm convinced we will be seeing some BFPs next week!!

GTR hope if it is AF it comes NOW so you can get on with the next cycle - hopefully this one will be a lot shorter too.

festie indeed, ewww to people taking pics of their CM - there's TMI and there is WTMI (way too much...) I can't believe that egg whites were advised - I would be worried about something getting scambled up there [hshock]

Again, nothing to report here - as we're talking about CM today tho, I've been having a lot of wet whitish CM but I don't think that's abnormal as I'm a few days from AF still. Hey ho.

Had a lovely shopping trip earlier and bought some new skinny jeans and a winter jumper - addicted to lovely warm long sleeves at the moment! I discovered two amazing Warehouse discount codes that you can use online together = 35% and 15% off :) Anyway I digress a lot! (but if anyone is interested I can post em up - good distraction from anyone going crazy with 2WW/SS :) )

GTR2882 · 16/10/2011 16:58

Oooh loulou yes please - i too love winter jumpers (haven't got the figure for skinny jeans sadly, used to, but then I met DH......)

Well she's not coming and cramps have dulled down!! But i will wait and see what happens over the next couple of days, can't bear wasting anymore HPTs especially when i feel very un-pg!!! Grin

louloubellamozzarella · 16/10/2011 17:40

I've posted them on this thread [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/promotional_codesbargains/1322469-Warehouse-25-35-off-60-off-and-free-delivery?msgid=27961366#27961366 here]

Phew, I need a brew now to soothe my overexcited shopping palpitations [hsmile]. Think I need to hide the credit card till November!!

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 17:42

Loulou yes please for teh warehouse discounts!!! I've been stocking up on nice knits for teh winter, but feel I could do with another couple!!

That hilarious that people post pics of their EWCM. Hilarious. Love it!

The term baby dance is vile. Makes me want to boke!

louloubellamozzarella · 16/10/2011 17:49

OOps this thread

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 17:54

Hurrah. Thanks Loulou, that will keep me busy for a bit!

louloubellamozzarella · 16/10/2011 17:56

Yes it's great - altho a few items seem to be only available to pick up but hey you can't sniff at 60% off. Got myself plenty of snuggly jumpers for the winter :)

Uh oh, made error of googling EWCM. Want to bleach eyes.

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 18:00

ha! I haven't googled it yet- too busy looking at warehouse clothes!

DeeLite · 16/10/2011 19:52

Hurrah, I had the temperature shift this morning at last. No boozing last night so I'm pretty certain that I've ovulated at last. Still only gives me 8/9 days to AF so a pretty short luteal phase. Fingers crossed anyway.

Question: do you ladies give up the booze in the 2WW? I don't drink much - probably five units in a weekend but I am loathe to give up until I know I'm pregnant. Is that wrong?

Loulou I agree that I probably do need to chill out a bit and let nature take its course. It's hard though when you are a pessimist + control freak [hblush].

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 20:13

Dee when I was ttc#1 I pretty much gave up. Then after 6 months got p*ssed off that hadn't fell pg and was told by doc it was unlikely that I could. I went away for a romantic but also a bit of a boozy weekend, had an operation under general anaesthtic, several lots of local anaesthetic then a boozy christmas with loads of blue cheese, I was a week late when I tested and got my BFP!! DS is perfect in eery way. Abstaining only makes me feel under even more pressure to get pg and stresses me more.

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 20:14

Dee congrats on ov'ing- I'm pretty sure I haven't even done that yet and 8-10 days left to AF...

nearlymumofone · 16/10/2011 20:29

loulou i have just spent a small fortune!! great fun, thank you! Thanks

louloubellamozzarella · 16/10/2011 21:11

I know, me too - but saved sooo much which obvs makes it all ok

deelite, nope I don't Grin - thought about it then thought that abstaining would only make me think about TTC and stress more. I'm not going out getting wasted but will have a drink or two maybe three if I feel like it Wine

Fingers xd for lots of two-liners this week, I can feel good vibes coming our way!

nearlymumofone · 17/10/2011 06:57

Morning.

Well cd18, of a usually 25-27 day. I have cycle have SWI every day from 9-17. Can I stop now? we are both bored now and need a break!! Last night we dtd (after Downton Abbey of course) and were laughing about how much we just wanted to go to sleep!! Pretty sure I still haven't ov'd though- I poaos on a few days and nothing- 2 days I had a faint line around cd 13 but that's it, and no EWCM. Infact no Cm of any interest!! But I'm already feeling my early AF symptoms...

Dee also wanted to add though, I have largely gone decaff all month.

needinstructions · 17/10/2011 09:31

Hi all,

nearlymumofone, I'm getting bored of it too. Also on cd18 although slightly longer cycle and have also been SWI every day (if not more Blush) I fell asleep ridiculously early in front of the telly last night and am still a walking zombie today. I really hope I've ov'd already because DH is NOT getting lucky tonight!

Anyway, I'm assuming I'm into the 2WW now and luckily I have a really busy week at work followed by half term packed with visits and activities. It won't stop me obsessing but it will keep me off the computer a leeetle bit. Maybe Wink

festiemum · 17/10/2011 09:56

Who'd have thought it eh girls, but it gets so tiring! It's when the other half has had enough that you know it's bad. Well, I hope I've ov-ed - though not sure really - and I hope you ladies have too.

Sorry for grossing you all out upthread with the ewcm pics (NOT mine, I hasten to add :o) If you reach into the pocket just under the front of your seat you'll find the mind bleach. Please limit use to once a day; overuse has led to reported cases of amnesia and bad dancing!

nearly I've never had a positive on a o stick and I've got pg 3 times while using them, so I don't think they're an exact science! (That's the trouble, isn't it? None of this lark is; and that's a problem if you're a control freak like me! Blush)

Anyway, happy Monday peeps! :)

needinstructions · 17/10/2011 10:23

Aarrghh! I had assumed I'd ov'd by cd18 but I've suddenly got loads of CM after having virtually none all month. Not exactly EWCM but it's like there is some of that mixed in (TMI, sorry). I know I won't dare leave it to yesterday morning's SWI so am now going to have to summon some energy and enthusiasm from somewhere tonight.

I think with it suddenly feeling like winter, my body is going into hibernation mode. Maybe if I stuff my face with chocolate all day, it'll help keep me awake...

festiemum · 17/10/2011 10:37

Oh no need! Chocolate aplenty then!

Forgot to say before - Loulou - your idea of eggs getting scrambled up your hoo-ha made me lol very loudly yesterday!! :o :o :o
