Lol flohs!!One week before ovulation we start drinking 1 glass of grapefruit juice,1 1200mg Mucinex with lots of water.It's suppose to help with CM ,because I'm on Clomid it dries you up it really helps me..Im in ovulation week now...AF is due June 21.I have a 34 day cycle..Kind of felt like I ovulated from the ovary I have no tube(due to eptopic).Not feeling very confident about the results of all that dtd...but it was fun so who cares!!Im sure I will be examining myself for every symptom known during the 2ww anyway..Good luck friends:)

Hi flohs. So sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully you can find some support and reasurrance on here. This thread has really helped me during the last stressful year of TTC.
I followed SMEP exactly last cycle and it worked! However we have tried similar patterns to SMEP before (but not exactly) and it didn't work for us. We previously tried every other day, every third day, 4 days in a row etc. What might have helped is carrying on past the obvious fertile stage which SMEP encourages. We would always stop too early but honestly I think we just got lucky.
The only other thing that could have influenced it was organic food. We had been eating that for 3 months.
Oh, that cycle I didn't get much warery or EWCM at all. So I wouldn't worry too much about all of that either.
Good luck in your 2ww, you too kerry. Smile
auntie how is your 2ww going?
Hello everyone else. Smile

Hi guys. Another birth announcement today. Sigh. Third in 3 weeks and Royal baby fever hasn't started in earnest yet. It's gonna be a fixed-smile summer!

flohs · 07/06/2013 17:38

Thanks so much thingy for the info.... Will keep going with the dtd then! And it really is such great news for you. Hope you are feeling ok?

Res - I know... We have a whole summer of baby hysteria ahead. Although its I think I find pregnant women much harder than the actual babies.....

flohs · 07/06/2013 17:40

Ps Kerry really hoping your wrong about the tube... I'll be symptom spotting too and trying to stay sane.... Nothing at the moment at all!!

Adsum · 08/06/2013 05:47

Hey ladies,
I think I'm about 11dpo and there may be a faint line but its a clearblue and I can't decide if its real!! Argh! It's so early and DH not awake to ask either... MUST try and get back to sleep... Confused

Adsum · 08/06/2013 07:14

I can't believe it - false alarm Angry

Just tried an Internet cheapie (the red lines rather than blue) and definite negative, and am having some spotting too AngryAngryAngry

I would never have used clearblue if I didn't have a spare from my accidental purchase last month (thought had picked up digis) - I HATE THEM!!!!!!

Thingymajigs · 08/06/2013 07:20

Oh ads, is there any chance the internet cheapie wouldn't have picked up on it yet? 11dpo is still early and the spotting is early. Is that normal for you?
When I tested at 14dpo the cheapie still only had a faint line even when the digital read 2-3 weeks. I was about to throw it away when I glimpsed a faint pink line. I wouldn't give up all hope just yet.

Adsum · 08/06/2013 07:33

Well I'm getting cramps now so prob not long til af here - cant believe what a rollercoaster today has been already and it's only half 7! Wink

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 08/06/2013 13:16

Hi ads. Sorry about the faint clearblue nightmare. Is it possible you didn't leave enough time inbetween pees when you did the Internet cheapy?

Your clearblue one was at 5.47am and the Internet cheapy post was only 1 1/2 hours later. How are you doing are you still cramping?

Adsum · 08/06/2013 18:36

I've had just the odd twinge here and there, no spotting just occasional brown mucus- a bit like wht I get before af! Will try another Internet cheapie first thing but am convinced is just usual pre-af shenanigans so not getting hopes up!

How is everyone else? Smile

kittykatsforever · 08/06/2013 20:50

Ill keep my fx for you adsum, is the line still there on the cb? Why don't you believe it? I've always found the cheepies rubish

dildoos · 08/06/2013 20:51

May I join you guys pls? Been out of the loop for 6 months as feeling sorry for myself but have cheered the hell up and back on form!

Hope this is ok if I sit back with you ladies? X

SomeDaySoon74 · 08/06/2013 22:01

"Fixed-smile summer" - love it!! Just been chatting to DH about our ttc woes and he said he didn't see the point in talking about it. Not even between ourselves. Certainly not with friends/ strangers. Madness. I can't seem to think/talk about anything else... I was due on 22 July before we found out our baby had T21. Will be heartbreaking when royal baby fever starts for earnest. Argh.

flohs · 09/06/2013 07:02

Ads I really don't think the cheapies are reliable - might be worth getting frer so you know one way or the other... I really hope the clear blue was in the know!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 09/06/2013 08:46

Hi dildoos. I'm lurking here hoping for some good news from ads. Sorry you have had a rough 6 months 25 months are you trying for dd number 5?

dildoos · 09/06/2013 09:09

Whenshewas- no no no lol dd is 5 sorry for confusion. I was hellokittydrivesmenuts but couldn't remember log in details. I am on to see some good bfps and hope the luck runs this way Grin good luck to you all x

Adsum · 09/06/2013 09:17

Ok totally didn't have a chance to buy a frer or digi yesterday so did another cheapie this time with proper fmu. Showed DH as he is eternal skeptic - definite line there but a bit fainter than the control line ... Argh!

Just feel a bit nervous about how long this will last rather than excited! Damn those mmcs...

Hi hellokitty - I thought u had 4 kids too!! Grin

Thingymajigs · 09/06/2013 09:31

Omg. Yay! Smile Smile Congratulations!
I knew it. Are you going to get a digital?

Adsum · 09/06/2013 09:44

I'm not sure!! Last time I got digis and they went slowly from 1-2 to 2-3 and it freaked me out and then I had mmc so I think I will TRY and wait til weds when it will be 1-2 days late and hopefully say 2-3! Does that make sense?! I'm not even late yet and getting loads of period and low back pain so still feeling like af will come tomorrow/Tuesday and its all unreal! Stupid head!
Thanks for watching our for me though girls! Grin

Vikkijayne2507 · 09/06/2013 10:01

ah Adsum I am watching with fingers crossed for you for next week its must be driving you crazy having to wait.

Adsum · 09/06/2013 10:18

Ha you would think so wouldn't you?! I feel a bit detached this time after 2 mmcs in a year - I'm more looking at it as the third one to be and then I can get investigated! Is that terrible?! I think it's just a protective thing really Hmm

Adsum · 09/06/2013 10:18

Is anyone else due to POAS?!??

RedRobin1 · 09/06/2013 10:52

Fx ads it will get darker! Get an frer if you can and yes do the digis a few days after you are late.

I knew it when I read your first post on the cb plus as they are not as sensitive as cheapies. So if a line came up on any clear blues then congratulations you are pregnant :)
