Ok, a bit of a strange one and maybe a little tmi but I'm on cd25/11dpo and I've just been for a wee, wiped and I have ewcm. No mistaking it, had a good stretch between my fingers and everything. WTF is going on? Anyone got a clue?

I'm so confused. I think it's all getting to me today. Completely fell apart in the kitchen at tea time and had to have a cuddle with DH. I think it is more than likely pmt. Someone pass the wine!

Lol hugs back Smile yes Im still poppinh my head in having a nosy...its exciting seeing people get bfp's!!!

Congratulations barmy too Smile

All good here just over 16wks and feeling teeny baby wiggles. Just over three weeks and we can find out if bubba is pink or blue Smile

Missmrs I never get any line at all so when I see a faint line I take it as the start of my fertile time. Then I get a positive (or near enough depending on when I test) and after that another faint line as the hormone levels drop. I don't think I test often enough to always get a really stong positive. Odd to get a stong line-could you have ovulated late this month?

Polythene - I hope you feel better. Maybe dtd anyway just in case?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 09/03/2014 20:09

Ahhhhh Lucy, lovely to see you!! Glad everything is going well!! Exciting that you'll soon know if your little bean (although prob alot bigger than a bean now) is a boy or girl! Keep us posted. I often think of those who have left us and reached the holy grail of the a/n threads!

KittyVonCatsington · 09/03/2014 20:10

Not doing too badly, missmrs Wink -gorgeous weather helping!

Have read back and sorry to hear that your DH is finding it a struggle at the moment. Not the nicest way to end DTD with what he said and sorry it happenend. Sorry if too personal a question, but were you like me and DH before TTC and rarely DTD(especially during Term Time!!)?? We too have had to get used to regular 'occasions' and have had some chats about it, which have helped!

Have spent the weekend babysitting my sister's kids for her and when I got back today, my DH was so pleased with himself. He proudly told me that he had stopped himself this morning from having a 'play' in case I wanted to DTD when I got back. Now there's progress Grin

missmrsmummy · 09/03/2014 20:10

Ah, thanks mango well I definitely could have ov'd late (I did last month due to stress)

So if there's a feint/medium line it could either be the run up to or just after ov? They were mostly medium until the random dark on Fri night. I have been testing at all sorts of times though!

How many days do you have a line for (feint or dark)?

Thanks for the info!

Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 20:11

Retro I was 8dpo when I got a line yesterday Grin I should've taken some of my own advice, totally do not recommend testing early, you just spend longer worrying in my case!

Lucy that's amazing!! Awwww bet it's lovely you're feeling kicks now, makes it all real. I remember I was watching obem with ds when I felt him. I was 14 weeks and felt my tummy go like butterflies, like when you're in the car and go over a hill. Smile
You're definitely finding out then? We will this time too. Didn't with ds, but I wanted to and dh didn't. This time we are in agreement to find out Smile
Bet you're so excited!!! Eek!!

Kitty, I wouldn't be asking for lines if I were you, you will receive far too many Smile... I have many lines to show you from today if you want to see!

This is all 4 of them -
www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=241471

I will no doubt be testing for the next few days to check those lines.

As more hope for us late ovulaters - my friend had her little boy last week, she ovulated around cd30 the cycle she conceived. Another friend is currently 16 weeks pregnant with dc1, she finally got a positive test on cd53 or so after oving around cd30! It tested my patience though, I will be honest!

Retro - hold out POAS if you can, testing earlier in my cycle for the last few had driven me mad so I was glad I waited until 15dpo this cycle as it made me feel a bit more sane.

Choccy I reckon it is that you are early days still. Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Polythene I have heard that increased ewcm pre af is a good bfp sign previously!

Writerwannabe83 · 09/03/2014 20:23

I love your photos Barmy - I LOVE looking at BFPs Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 20:29

Barmy all 4! You're just spoiling us! Thanks choccy I've ordered my tests! Grin

PolytheneGirl · 09/03/2014 20:31

Thanks Caged and Barmy. Might get an early night in a minute iykwim and keep my fingers crossed till Tuesday Thursday.

Barmy I'm loving the pic! Eek!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 20:44

I've got horrid ov pains this eve Grin Stringy you know what so I'm gobbling up the pineapple before bed! Dh said I could have a quicky earlier, which I wished id taken him up on, but wanted a bit more er time! You can't win!

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 20:59

Lot to catch up on!!!

missmrs I don't know what was in the book, was tempted to sit and read it. Especially since nobody knows we are trying. Maybe she left it there on purpose to make sure everyone knows they are :p

mango i may have to try the cough medicine!
Been taking some this week but not the right kind.

So tempted to dtd again tonight but not sure if the swimmers will have restocked from this morning :p but we wont be able to now til late tomorrow night. If we do at all.

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 20:59

Also, Mrs what are your ov pains like? I don't know if i get them... Blush

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 21:05

Ohh and missmrs when I had tests done they decidedit was just muscle spasms... Very painful though :( had it for years.

KittyVonCatsington · 09/03/2014 21:06

Lines on a stick look great and seeing it written down as Pregnant 1-2 is the icing on the cake! Thanks for that, barmy-am imagining my future BFPs Grin

TMI alert...is it really sad that I kept all of my old BFPs in a box and like looking at them every now and again Blush

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 21:10

Just realised what you said missmrs is the same as what I have. How did you cure it?

kitty, I dont think so! I love looking at lines on sticks.

aenor · 09/03/2014 21:11

Congrats Barmy and Choccy!

AF has finished now so I'm gearing up for Cycle 3.

Decided to throw everything at it this time and have been combing this thread for clues!

So far I've got

  • eat pineapple - question, will tinned pineapples work or do I need a fresh one?
  • chesty cough medicine - which brand do you ladies recommend?
  • manuka honey - is this available at Sainsburys?

I've also been told feng shuing the children and relationship corners of my house will help. No idea if this is nonsense, but it is spring and the house needs a spring cleaning, and perhaps it's a nesting thing to tidy and prepare and that helps psychologically?

Anything else I should do?

CagedMango · 09/03/2014 21:14

Missmrs I get maybe one or two days of a faint line, then a stronger line (if I catch it) then another faint line but I stop testing after that. I test at different times too so don't always get the best results but it gives me a good clue. You might have ovulated late then.

Treacle-I recommend Robitussin chesty cough!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 21:14

Treacle its crampy like period pain, but tonight a bit stabby. And often I get an achy hip when it hurts too, but think that's endo related. I can also feel it in my back tonight. It's bloody painful this eve. Pretty sure it's ov as it's cd13 today.

Good thing dh is keen tonight. Don't think we've actually caught ov in previous cycles, so going to grin and bare it. Just getting a hot water bottle!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 21:17

Aenor, I've got fresh, force fed dh some too!!! Grin But think tinned would be ok.

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 21:17

Thanks mango! :) will try it.
Hmm Mrs, ive got that tonight but jist put it down to ibs/general cramping. Could be ov then! :)

CagedMango · 09/03/2014 21:18

Aenor-the higher the UMF number on the manuka honey the better I think. I went for a lower number as it was cheaper but I'm just having more (not sure if that'll work though).

EnglishGirlAbroad · 09/03/2014 21:22

Aenor, it has to be the core of a fresh one. If you google pineapple core for conception there's a website that tells you why and how Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 21:24

I've got ibs too treacle and had lots of bowel surgery last year so I think that's why my lower back is sensitive. The bowel and the womb and right squished up next to each other so only makes sense I suppose. Dtd tonight might be a good idea for both of us then! Smile
