Well I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start up the October bus, there's plenty of Cake and Wine on board and extra comfy seats for relaxing into those BFP's

Choccy I do the tissue thing too. Re ewcm my cycle on a 25 day one means I ov on cd11 so ewcm this early is normal for me.

Choccywoccydodah · 24/09/2013 09:02

Will have to start with the opks for sure then Smile. I've only got 8 left, so may have to order more as I want to do them twice a day as not to miss it.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 24/09/2013 09:04

I've got a load of ic opks that just don't work for me at all. Does anyone want them for postage? There's tons of the feckers!

Choccywoccydodah · 24/09/2013 09:20

Oh purple, didn't see your post before I just ordered 30 more (but they're only about 10p each) :)

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 10:37

The main problem with having a visitor stay will be the late nights up, we will be tired when we get to bed, but will have to just persevere with making the effort! I just wish it was the week before or after.

choccy I don't think ov on or after cycle day 9 is too unusually early for a 26 day cycle, it also means that your lp will be hopefully be longish, so that is a good thing!

sparklesandfizz · 24/09/2013 11:12

Could I hop on board please, ttc#3, cycle 1, BFP oct 9th 33 yrs.

Choccywoccydodah · 24/09/2013 13:09

Hopefully Jessie, just didnt ov til day 16 last time and had a short LP.
Can you have a session in the morning Wink

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 13:44

choccy not a chance, not with our ds, 6.30 am is a lie in for him!

Will have to be late night/middle of the night quickies I think!

Choccywoccydodah · 24/09/2013 14:30

Ha ha, think you'll have to. Know what you mean about getting up early. Our ds slept til 7.10 this morning, in his own bed too woohoo, so that was a fab lie in. Normally in our room on the futon at 1am!
Good luck! We have to have a quickie first thing when I've taken ds downstairs for his milk, plonked him in front of peppa pig and quickly run back up. Oh the joys, and we want to do this again?!?!?

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 18:51

Thanks charlie and purple. I'm ok just a bit grumpy! Af was due today but no signs AT ALL til just before i posted earlier. She's a bitch.

I have had about a gazillion biscuits today, done sod all at work and have a bottle of wine for when i get home. :-) onwards......

Charlie, when do you think you ov on a 26 day cycle?

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 18:52

Also i really must try harder!! More dtd is required.

charleslingus · 24/09/2013 20:08

Wine is the answer to pmt grumps, and guilt free too, would be rude not to.

had positive opk yesterday matched with app which says ov today, paired with ov pain last night and 2days of ewcm I think I can safely hope ov was when I thought (cycle day 14) luteal phase is always 14 days later so expecting a 27 day cycle. Phew.

Read that sperm needs sometimes 7 hrs to get to its destination, and lives for days so in fact the days before ov are most important, so did 2 (3 day) blocks of shagging ending today with a few more for luck tomorrow and we'll see after that. Good luck, I found cycle 4 I was a lot more committed to dtd, determined month for us, hope it's the same for you!

Fox82 · 24/09/2013 20:13

AF arrived today so can I be added please?

Fox82 ttc#1 cycle 11 Sad bfp due 22nd oct

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 21:44

Thanks Charlie - i am just using an app - my days - to work out poss ov date. Had almost 3 days of spotting last month but none this time and af turned up late afternoon so i think i might make a 26 day cycle this time.

Working on the wine....

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 22:02

Hi notta sorry to see you here.

I wish I had short cycles.

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 22:08

Hi jessie i know what you mean - but we are never happy with our lot! I worry my LP will be too short. Who the hell knows? I sure as shit don't! If i am not upduffed by christmas will consider temping and opks but just shagging til then! (need to shag more....)

SoMuchFruit · 24/09/2013 22:27

Hi Notta, also sorry to see you here. Thanks

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 22:35

That is true, and at least I get af regularly, so many others worse off.

Surely we'll be upduffed by Xmas!! The chance is 1 in 4 every cycle so I won't be thinking otherwise. Of course it will happen!

(Although I've got my opks ready to go, but that is as far as science will help me as I don't think temping would suit my lifestyle unfortunately)

wispaxmas · 24/09/2013 22:52

I think 7 hours is a bit on the long side of an estimate of how long sperm takes to get to the egg.. Apparently it can be only a matter of minutes, or a couple hours, but I think 7 hours would be a sign of low mobility in the sperm. Also, the quicker ones will be healthier and thus better equipped to fertilise that egg!

But yes, the 2 days pre ovulation are the best, as eggs can die in as little as 6 hours! However, unless you have fertile cm, the sperm won't survive the journey, which is why preseed comes in handy if you don't get EWCM.. It helps the little guys survive.

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 23:05

wispa really!? I didn't know that about ewcm!

We are going to be trying well before ov as I want to try and increase the chances of conceiving a girl. The theory of pre/post ov and gender was relevant to conceiving our ds (I believe) as dp was away for the first part of the cycle when we conceived him and I actually though we had missed the window completely as it was just after ewcm had stopped when we started dtd that cycle.

jessieagain · 24/09/2013 23:09

Just to add we didnt use opks with ds, I actually ordered them during his 2ww as I thought we had no chance! So I just guessed ov time as had ov cramps and ewcm.
