The late November/ Early December Transatlantic flight!

[Pipbin]

Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Yes !!!!!

Hi candy !! welcome to the crazy plaaaaane !!!

I feel like I've been asleep most of this flight hardly been on but been so busy which has been good it's kept me fairly sane this month !!

Yes dtd can be a lot of work while ttc! DH and I normally start of with good intentions but it fritters away but this month we have been really good ! We managed 6 days in a row during the fertile window !!

I'm the same I'm only using an app but I have pretty reliable cm so that combined with my app is enough for me .

If your feeling undereducated now you won't soon ! Google will be your beat friend ad you will soon know more than your gp about getting pg !!!

Hi Candy, hope you enjoy the flight!!

So I chucked on my sexy Ann summers negligee and tried to seduce DH. I didn't say anything about 'having' to etc so he didn't realise how important it was to me, & promptly fell asleep. Well not quite, but I swear I heard a little snore as I tried kissing places... :(

So fingers crossed I'm super fertile after the chem pg, & that his boys are the Olympic athletes they were 2.5yrs ago when concieving my DD and we get a proper sticky bean BFP this month. We've only managed 2 in a row over my fertile period, but I guess it only takes 1 sperm... Not holding out much hope TBH. I don't feel like we've tried hard enough iyswim. Can't even rectify the situation tonight as DH is away with work & if the OPK was anything to go by, I won't be fertile on Thursday. Ah well, there's always next month, for a nice Christmas present!!

How do you manage 6 nights in a row MrsC??!!! Work, commuting, DD all scupper our plans...

I'm sure you're right to count from then MrsC - I think I was just clutching at straws hoping to justify POAS a couple of days earlier!

So I read somewhere about the power of visualising fertilisation and now can't stop thinking about the opening scene from Look Who's Talking and constantly have the Beach Boys "I Get Around" stuck in my head. I made the mistake of telling DH this this morning and got this face...

Sorry ladies, I'm off this flight. AF was surprisingly and worryingly punctual this time.

Good luck to every one else, hopefully I won't see any of you on the next flight as you'll all have wonderful BFP's!

Best of luck MissMedusa - sorry AF arrived so punctually (or is it a relief not to be late w/out being pg, iyswim??!!). Good you get a BFP soon.

Sorry to hear that MissMedusa but bon voyage for your next flight and all fingers and toes crossed for you!

Aw sorry medusa !! Just think of it as the beginning of a new cycle . Sometimes af are a good thing at least the two weeks of not knowing are over even if it's not the end you wanted . It's taken me a good few months to think like that but now that's the way I try to look at it .

Sorry to hear miss medusa. Best of luck for the next cycle!!

Sorry missmedusa, that sucks.

Well dh's banning me from mumsnet for out holiday hasn't worked, poor dear has terrible food poisoning so I think there goes baby this month too as today is meant to be premo time before he got ill I did crack and buy the sweetest baby top so guess I jinxed us.

That's unfortunate MrsTwinks but I don't think the baby top gave him the food poisoning!!! You never know, it might work out... fingers crossed for you.

Ok, so the tender breast issue I've discovered since starting TTC, where boobs ache from mid-cycle until just before AF seems to have made an appearance again, but a bit after ovulation, rather than just before Going to make the 2WW 'interesting' - plays havoc with the genuine symptom spotting

Ok so I think I just got my BFP ?????????

I took an eBay cheapie with FMU and there is a faint but definite line !!! Af not due til Monday tho so trying not to believe it yet !!!!

Oh mrsc what wonderful news. Huge congratulations. Our first board BFP. Yay

Hopefully you'll start a trend!

Congratulations Mrsc

AF due Saturday for me so doing my best not to test.

Congrats MrsC. So jealous - only just starting the 2WW so no S to PO yet!!! :)

Whoo hoo MrsC huge Congrats :)

Am jealous too as I haven't even ovulated yet so I have eternity left!

Congratulations MrsC - what fab news!

Ah whoop whoop mrsc!! First one of the flight... Hope it's first of many

Right ladies I have a question.... So I'm just using my app to predict fertile days, my cycle in average is 30 days gave or take a day or 2. So according to app my fertile days are between cd12 and cd16.

However I also read somewhere that u should look out for colour of discharge (apologies for spelling it outright, unsure of the acroymn for it!) and that clear discharge is a sign that ur fertile.

I am now on cd 19 so according to app I've passed my fertile days BUT i noticed I have clear discharge ?!! What does that mean ?! Did the app miscalculate ?! Shall I DTD a few more times ( was hoping to have a few days break to catch my breath!!! Lol)

CandyPop is it stretchy as well as clear and does it look like egg whites? If so this is known as egg white cervical mucus (EWCM) and is the fertile mucus (sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know!).

EWCM usually comes before ovulation so might be an indicator that you haven't ovulated yet. AFAIK you should DTD all the time you have EWCM. Remember that those calculators work on the assumption that you ovulate right in the middle of your cycle and you might, in fact, ovulate later.

Thank you so much ladies !!! I so did not expect that at all I got so used to just randomly testing and getting bfn I jut expected that to be another !!! Especially since af isn't due until Monday . I'm trying not to get excited until i get it confirmed off gp .

I hope I bring you all luck and we all get out BFP this month !!! Good luck everyone !!!

Thanks PandaWatch , that's really helpful ! Darn!!! No rest for the wicked then, better get back into it!! Although DH is out tonight and we are out for dinner 2mo... Eek I might miss the boat this month :(

How long from when u have EWCM can u expect to ovulate ? hmmm I might invest in OPK next month if I don't get lucky this month

Ah this is my cycle#1 and I'm already obsessing... Not good

candy I usually have ewcm for around 2-3 days and I count ov day the following day if that's any help ??

TheNewMrsC I shall go with that logic as my guidance :) thank u !

Candy if you just noticed the EWCM today then it's definitely worth DTD on Saturday (or maybe when you get back from dinner tomorrow night!). The egg lives for about 24 hours after ovulation so the opportunity will still be there at that point!

And don't worry about obsessing - I'm only on cycle 3 but pretty much can't think about anything else!!
