Hi Kerry!

I like your thread title! Let's get those BFPs this year :)

I'm TTC no 2 - not same story as yours but maddening in its own way. Had mc at 12 weeks in Oct and, well, am 40 so who knows...

Currently driving self slightly crazy with the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor - which seems to just show highs this month - ug. But I guess you might not be using one, since I've read it's not so useful for those with PCOS? Mind you, I'm not sure all this CB stick pissing is helping me, either. It sort of gives me a vague sense of control, but also doom Grin.

So how is it all going at your end?

Alexandra6 · 15/03/2013 13:07

Hi Kerry I found you! I've told the rest you're over here, the other thread is nearly full now anyway!

Hi goby sorry about your mc. I'm on clomid, have pcos, ttc #1. First cycle clomid, trying to get my body to ovulate - and it looks like it did based on a scan, an OPK and day 21 tests woop! I'm now 9dpo and have had brown spotting this week but not sure what it is (obvs praying for implantation bleeding!) Anyway that's me!

Thingymajigs · 15/03/2013 14:46

Hi again kerry. Just marking my place in the new thread.

Me too! CD1 here - hello Go wishing you lots of luck too - am just beginning first AF after erpc in Feb so am full of hope (again) and wishing for a dc2 as well!

Nice one on the dtd last night red as you say, it's the sperm that counts!!!

Now who's next to POAS...?!

Alexandra6 · 15/03/2013 18:16

Maybe me on Sunday?! Although I'm only 11dpo then so probably too early?

Ah kerry haha don't worry we're here! Can you see where it says 'I'm on' near 'threads' at the top of the page? Just log in and click on that and you'll be able to find this thread. Otherwise we'll be wasting time putting up missing person posters when we could be dtd Wink

Alexandra6 · 15/03/2013 19:15

Oh and thanks about the brown spotting, I did just read someone saying it can be a chemical pregnancy. I will drive myself crazy soon Smile am having a glass of wine with DH tonight and feeling a bit guilty that it might affect hormones - what do you guys think? So hard to give up when we're doing something so stressful!

RedRobin1 · 15/03/2013 19:57

Hi kerry we found you Grin
Marking my spot.

Adsum · 15/03/2013 21:15

Ooh good luck alex for Sunday if you decide to POAS - I don't think 11dpo is too early! Smile

RedRobin1 · 15/03/2013 23:00

alex 2 more days to go till you can POAS? 11dpo sounds like a good time to test. Fx

Ads good to hear AF finally made an appearance.

I have LOADS of ewcm. Grapefruit juice is working miracles this time. Shame DH is snoozing again. Tomorrow he's not going to know what's hit him.

I only on cd 9 though and have loads of pre OV pain yesterday, I wonder if I am ovulating early. Don't feel like doing any OPKs yet. Just don't feel like peeing on any sticks.

twinklestar2 · 15/03/2013 23:20

Good luck Alex with POAS.

Red I remember using grapefruit juice one month and having loads of EWCM too. It's mad how it works!

Cd23 here. BFP due next Friday.

weechops · 15/03/2013 23:21

Marking place, off to bed talk to you all in the morning. Nighty night :)

RedRobin1 · 15/03/2013 23:41

winkle I had it last summer but was also taking epo then. But weirdly it had no effect then. This time around (tmi alert Blush) I have actually had to change knickers twice because they were soaking wet. God! Sound like some porn novel! But no really it's amazing stuff.

Off to bed now.

Ps. Linking from the other thread alex I have pre recorded 'we bought a zoo' on Sky. Looks like a good film to watch!

Thingymajigs · 16/03/2013 07:29

Good luck with poas alex, I'm really excited for you. Smile
red how much grapefruit juice do you have to drink to make a difference? My EWCM isn't always great and only really appeared last cycle so that could help me out.
DP has set out of his plans again this cycle. He's determined to get me pregnant. Every other day dtd throughout the month is his plan this time. He does make me smile with his dedication to the TTC process.
Good luck to everyone waiting to poas, ovulate, starting clomid or waiting for AF to finish. Hopefully this is the last thread we will need.

Alexandra6 · 16/03/2013 07:47

I got NO ewcm but clomid is known to dry that up, I'm going to try grapefruit juice too next cycle!

red we bought a zoo is really good! And Matt Damon's on my lamenated list Wink

Love how supportive all of our men are being about the ttc process! thingy yours sound committed to this cycle!

RedRobin1 · 16/03/2013 07:51

thingy I drink small glass (approx 250ml) of grapefruit and i only started drinking it the day AF finished (cd7)
Starting to even like the stuff.

Doing headboard stands as I type. Another dtd down Smile

we only have access to each other on weekends now. So I guess we will manage only 3 dtds before OV. I will be away in a hotel when the egg drops next week. No idea if we will catch it!

Alexandra6 · 16/03/2013 07:54

Good work red you weekend porn star! Made me laugh about you having to change your knickers!

Alexandra6 · 16/03/2013 07:55

Ps remember swimmers live a few days

RedRobin1 · 16/03/2013 08:02

I drink the juice first thing in the morning with breakfast. And you even get the juice boxes in a 2 for 3 deal in supermarkets. I will keep drinking it till OV finishes.

Looking forward to some Matt Damon tomorrow Grin

RedRobin1 · 16/03/2013 08:02

Any symptoms today alex?

Thingymajigs · 16/03/2013 08:10

Thanks! I'll send DP out to get some when he wakes up. If he asks why I'll say its for my EWCM and he'll nod along not really knowing or wanting to know either.
I hope you catch that egg red. It can't be easy when you work away so much. We find it difficult enough navigating through the "can't be arsed/too tired" excuses so it must be really tricky for you to plan.
