[throws handful of pilchards at Euro just to stave off premature menkulling]

Is it possible, do we think, for each ovary to vary in ovulation time? Cycle 1 I ov'd on Day 17, cycle 2 (presumably different ovary) on Day 14 and I'm now on Day 17 of Cycle 3 and no sign of ov having happened yet.
The way things have panned out this week, luckily for us, we'll have done the sechs every day since last Saturday, barring Monday night. If that doesn't crack it, nothing will!!

Also, it's now rather difficult to tell what's the difference between, ahem, me and him in the knicker checking department Blush Any advice?!

CaveMum · 25/01/2012 12:52

Sorry!!! Epic post fail there! The pilchards were meant for Bugs, not Euro, though you can have some too if you like Grin

KatAndKit · 25/01/2012 12:53

top marks on the shagging cavey that is some impressive work!

You could taste it. However that is rather gross though. No need to go that far in the interests of ttc. But jizz does have a distinctive taste.

Don't feel guilty!

CaveMum · 25/01/2012 13:03

Bits are definitely chaffed, for both parties. Thank the lord for lube is all I can say Grin

I was wondering what I had done to deserve a fish throw!

Cavey I always struggle to tell the difference between mine and his now we are ttc. It used to be very clear what was what when we were sort of using a crap version of the rhythm method and avoiding dtd to completion midcycle.

Oh, and my ov varies between ovaries. It more or less alternated between days 15 and 17 when I first went to see my acupuncturist. She worked to try to shorten my cycle and it now alternates between days 14 and 16. I think it is my left ovary that is a bit lazy. My first medicated cycle delayed ov to day 20 and I think this cycle it will be late again. I really miss my predictable regular unmedicated cycle.

Right, I am off to POAS (an ov stick). I haven't used them for about 9 months but I need to this time to time my monitoring scan close to ov and make sure I don't miss the egg. I have saved up a lot of wee. I hope I can make it down the corridor without anyone stopping me for a chat! I am not expecting a positve for ages yet but as I can't rely on my body signs I had better get POASing!

Cavey I think FF recommends dropping snottery items in water as they have different properties. . Ah no, I did. Turns out that it says the same as Bugger's advice re stretchiness.

Bugs my cervix always go high after ovulation, I'm not sure that that is a sign in itself.

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 25/01/2012 13:53

Doesn't tcoyf suggest kegels a while after dtd to remove any remaining swimmers? I also do them a while before checking pant snot, forces it to the surface iykwim.
bugs my charting indicated I ov around cd13-15 so it's always possible. Try not to drive yourself menkul or eat too much!
cavey AFAIK, you don't automatically ov from alternate sides each month, I believe that's not proven to be true though I could stand corrected

bugs how is your general health? When did you start cycling?/did you stop for a while? Are you eating enough before you cycle?
I too am curious about brown and pone as well as the elusive rie....

KatAndKit · 25/01/2012 22:02

brown is waiting......2 days overdue now.

pone has a section planned for a couple of weeks time I believe and all fingers are crossed that she will make it all the way to that date.

Northey · 25/01/2012 22:12

You are not alone, bugs. I found an imported sweets stall today, and have gorged on mint m&ms (new to me, and delicious) and peanut butter snickers (Yum! is all I can say. Yum!). Many, many calories.

Muchos impressed with your cycling though. I used to commute by bike as well. I found it gave me a Teflon clit in the end though. Practically needed a jack hammer to feel a thing...

eurochick · 25/01/2012 22:16

Heh@teflon clit!

FriendofDorothy · 25/01/2012 22:36

Gah ex-boyfriend has posted pics of their new baby on FB. Wasn't expecting to see that tonight :(

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 26/01/2012 08:17

Ah know that feeling dottie. Have a Brew and a Biscuit
northus where did you get mint m&ms? Want, want, WANT some!!!! Any news on the job hunt?

Northey · 26/01/2012 08:52

From an American lady stallholder in Hereford. You might strike lucky with cybercandy, who have a website and deliver, or I could pick you up some next time I see her, and post them to you!

Northey · 26/01/2012 08:55

Hmm, they only seem to do pretzel, coconut and

Northey · 26/01/2012 08:56

Pretzel, coconut and peanut butter m&ms. Do you want me to grab you some next time I see her?

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 26/01/2012 10:13

Don't make a special trip...but if you could, that would be awesome Grin

Northey · 26/01/2012 10:36

It would be a pleasure, my dear faith. And not only because it is a reason for me to go back and try more stuff :)

Mint M&Ms sound awesome! There must be somewhere in london that sells them. I will have to track them down. KFZK loves mint chocolate.

Northey · 26/01/2012 16:24

Right. Mint ones for faithy and euro. Peanut butter for BuggerMeThoseSoundNice. Anyone else?

You'll have to wait for next market day (oh God, I can't believe I've come to this. I might as well just subscribe to the Country Casuals catalogue right now), and then I will see what I can do.

My nipples hurt so much today that I bought a stick from Boots, then pissed on it in Caffe Nero. Negative, obviously. Think it much have been the cold.
