morecoffeemorecoffee · 10/05/2012 21:34

morecoffeemorecoffee · 10/05/2012 21:37

Dh just came upstairs and asked what's so funny Grin as I just actually laughed out loud Grin

tedmundo · 10/05/2012 21:39

yes knew it was typo but such a funny one! Heh!

how long does one winkle for I wonder? Is there an optimum time between aiding swimmers and numb blue feet?

I just propped feet up on a pillow last month. Clearly not giving it the necessary welly required. must put my back into it more this time round.

winkle2 · 10/05/2012 21:40

don't let any swimmers shoot out from snorting out loud!!

winkle2 · 10/05/2012 21:40

anyone else's legs get cold when doing the winkle?

Pinkie29 · 10/05/2012 21:41

What's doing the winkle??

winkle2 · 10/05/2012 21:44

it's legs in the air after sex :)

Pinkie29 · 10/05/2012 21:48

Ah I see, I read bicycling with your legs in the air helps?

morecoffeemorecoffee · 10/05/2012 22:28

I'm all winkled out! My method for the optimum winkle is 2 pillows under my bum ( Blush ) legs up in the air rested in headboard if bed. Cold legs are a side effect if the intensive and extended winkle. I sometimes get Dh to put the duvet over my feet!

The winkle came about back in the April thread when winkle came on and announced she was mning while laying on her back with her legs in the air post dtd! Grin

Cd5 here today. Way to early for anything to happen around here. Gearing myself up to start dtd in a few days.

redstrawberry · 11/05/2012 09:14

Hahaha the winkle posts were a good read over morning tea. I am trying really hard to not think about it, but I don't think I have ovulated yet?! My cycles are like clockwork and this month - first cycle of ttc and i think the CM is now drying up :( no sign of EWCM and today is CD16.

Had some strong cramps (maybe indigestion?) last night and slept at 8pm - very tired.

DTD EOD is not working out for us as DH is away but going to jump him this weekend!

Are those James Bond spy glasses for real? I need to look inside my body to see what is going on!!

Going to cinema tonight to take my mind of it.

KickingUpQuestions · 11/05/2012 09:35

redstrawberry How long are your cycles? Don't give up - just so long as you ovulate at least 10 days before your next AF is due, you are fine.
They typically say that you would ovulate 14 days before your next AF - so if you have regular cycles you can work it out.

Some people don't have good quality CM and some do. Some people don't "ovulate" as per OPK's but fall pregnant. My mate was told by her doctor that some people have the LH spike that lasts 3 - 4 hours ONLY so the OPK has to be done within those 3-4 hours to pick up the spike.

I have picked up ovulation twice in the last 8 months. But my AF is regular as all hell. Which reduces the chance that it's an anovulatory cycle because regular cycles indicates fertility. As done ovulation spotting.

So if you are regular, you're probably missing it. And 70% of women ovulate before day 10 and after day 17. Remember that if nothing about pregnancy is a "one size fits all", then nothing about ovulation is either.

Our bodies are all different so we need to work out what works for our body and that's what we need to concentrate on :)

Pinkie29 · 11/05/2012 09:39

cd5 for me too winkle! Roll on cd28 (june 3rd!!) when I think I'll ov! Started my vitex yesterday so hoping it shortens thing out Grin

redstrawberry · 11/05/2012 10:02

Thanks kicking that makes me feel a lot relieved. Hope AF stays away for you this weekend.

I am not using OPKs, was blindly relying on my app (not anymore!) and CM checks.
I have a 30 day cycle, which means OV could happen tomorrow CD17. FX.

Might steal your idea too amaya if AF stays away in June.

Hello!

CD14 here, I had totally lost track of days then noticed I helped posted on the 1st saying CD 3! Who needs an app when you have MN?

I had better ovulate today or tomorrow as DH works away Monday to Friday. I think June is unlikely to be THE month though as I have a feeling (never plotted it) that I have a long cycle & may ovulate next week while he's away. Sigh!

Hope everyone else is feeling a bit more positive?

squeakymac · 11/05/2012 11:25

Still between the May and June threads (lots of EWCM today but not seeing DH til Saturday afternoon so prob missed the boat this month) but just giggling since I just read that 'doing the winkle' stems from winkles name and not the other way around - new to TTC threads! so was doing it last week and told my husband it was a proper TTC term like CM and DPO and AF etc we both took it totally seriously!

LittleMissSnowShine · 11/05/2012 11:44

pinkie - I was taking vitex drops to try and get my cycles to behave whwn I unexpectedly got pg with DS, fx it has same effect on u!

Ladies, would u believe that the AF witch still hasnt arrived for me??? I've been gaving cramping on and off for a couple of days and what looked to be v light spotting last night but here I am on CD38 and she is nowhere in sight? I'm a bit bewildered but also slightly worried cos of my bfp last week that quickly became a bfn - could this be ectopic?? Cramps arent constant and they arent agonising but they are sore and AF is v late in arriving now.... Advice? Just wait it out?

Pinkie29 · 11/05/2012 11:49

Fx little miss thanks Grin I've got the 1000mg tablets says take 1 - 2 a day so might up my dose!

KickingUpQuestions · 11/05/2012 11:53

LittleMiss - my AF was 10 days late in December. I was all excited and rung my doctor but also noted that I had had a BFN. She said even if I wasn't pg, it would be good to check out why I was late.

So instead of stressing about why you're late - book a doc appointment and get them to check it out? No harm in it and you can stop stressing about it?

LittleMissSnowShine · 11/05/2012 13:00

AF finally here. Bit sad but panic over, glad to be out of limbo land and glad to be on CD1 of what will hopefully be lucky cycle #3, june is a good month - DH turns 30, it's our 3rd wedding anniversary and if we get our bfp i'll be due around my birthday in Feb...all good signs!!

So back on the supplements and.going to start temping this cycle...fx....exciting times!!!
