I never get cream. Or flaky. Or whatever the other one is Just watery or eggwhite or eggwhite with streaks or nothing. Confused

MissMrs, if it's in your knickers I bet there's loads up inside. Have a feel around next time and seeSmile

spinningirl10 · 12/02/2015 18:38

Sammy, if they've already done some tests then I would ask at that source. Or phone the fertility clinic/department that you will be using and ask them. Probably a waste of time asking doc unless yours is very good.
When I was waiting for my results I didn't have a number so phones the hospital and asked to be put through to fertility.

Mustbemad, sorry I can't help with your query, but you really do have my sympathy with the flagging DH. Your post was partly comical but there is a serious side to this TTC malarkey when the journey gets longer and longer and longer. I wasn't exaggerating when I said it had ruined mine and DH's sex life. Our love life is wonderful, but there are irreparable damages to his ego and both of our libidos. It's a a good job we are still intimate and are happy to do other stuff lots of the time. I simply cannot remember the last time that penetrative sex was fun, spontaneous, sexy and free from the baggage of past bfn's, mc's and erectile stage fright.

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 18:49

Miss. I only ever see ewcm on the bog paper after wiping from a wee or when I've had a poo and there's a string of stretchy snot hanging from my vagina. If there is ewcm on the paper and/or hanging out of us, imagine how much more is up there lining the cervix Smile

P.s..I only see ewcm for one day in my fertile window and it can be one, two, three or four days before I actually ov. No matter, though, it probably remains up there for days but doesn't always appear on the paper.

victoria401 · 12/02/2015 19:17

I get the same as purdey string of the stuff on wiping. Looks like the glue that your new credit cards get stuck to the paper with. I only get it 2 days ish, and after getting really watery stuff. That's when we start dtd, when the damp watery stuff starts. And i get lots of infertile flaky stuff. Yuck.

purdey I forgot to say I dreamt about you the other night! You were very beautiful and glam!

MissMrsMummy · 12/02/2015 19:19

Ok thanks for the ewcm tips. I just checked 'high up' and only had milky white stuff (LOADS - it was all dribbly! Sorry!). But I am not due to ov for a couple of days (and more prob due to bad cold) hmm maybe I should start necking my chesty cough mixture.

MissMrsMummy · 12/02/2015 19:21

Oh victoria yes you have just described what I have so hopefully like you I will get ewcm in a couple of days.

It's kind of killing me not doing opks but I'm trying to be less obsessed! Like refreshing mn every 30 seconds is relaxed haha.

Sparkly123 · 12/02/2015 19:25

Purds I like Victorias image of you. Are you brunette? ..it's like a game of guess who! I love that game.. Kids just wouldn't be satisfied with that now!!

Thanks also Purdey you are right.. I need to make sure I articulate everything! Usually I do, but for some reason after many years of bad treatment from various docs I have quite an anxiety about first apps incase they are also the same. It's silly really, but difficult to get away from. I shall have my dh with me though and I'm sure he will be good at backing me up. I just don't want to go and leave with nothing.. Anyway.. That's not a few days away yet! I small try do some research etc make sure I have the facts over Sunday Monday so we are prepared.

juneybean · 12/02/2015 19:25

I tend to get ewcm for a few days but I think I've been mistaking it for creamy or wet (so many choices?!)

My sperm is still in Poland and has seemingly spent the day there. I'm hopeful it will come tomorrow but probably afternoon when I'm at work!

Trying not to stress but I've got the shakes which cant be good.

Not sure if I have any recourse on DHL if it doesn't come tomorrow?

Missmrs ha ha visualising you pressing refresh with the glint of green in your eye like a mad woman!

Sparkly123 · 12/02/2015 19:26

Oh Juney how frustrating!!! Have you contacted DHL direct or just traced it online?

mrscatmad31 · 12/02/2015 19:27

hey,
Still lurking, this thread moves so fast! in the tww again Smile
I get hardly any mucous, especially since I've been looking for it!

juneybean · 12/02/2015 19:28

I've rang twice, the first call sounded promising that it would be sent through quickly but secondncall the woman said that an urgent call had been out through but it can take 24-48 hours to be picked up?! I asked about picking it up at the Gateshead depot in the morning but she couldn't be sure it'd be in Gateshead in the morning. Wtf get it on the bloody plane!

spinningirl10 · 12/02/2015 19:39

Juney, if it doesn't turn up tomorrow then surely dhl should stump up the cash for more sperm?!!

Sparkly123 · 12/02/2015 19:39

Juney what a confusion!! I thought you could just call straight through and speak to someone!! Urgh!!! Could you ask to speak to management direct? What a nightmare for you. Let's keep everything crossed it will turn up Tomor!!! Thinking positively for you. Wish I could courier you some spermies.. Just not sure dh has any left after our AI marathon!! you will get yours though.. Even if it arrives another day out you will still be in with a great chance as still in fertile window right?

juneybean · 12/02/2015 19:42

I'm thinking ovulation will be Sunday so plenty of time yet it might work in my favour since you have to return the nitrogen either 6 days of receipt so would have had to return Monday which seemed to be cutting it fine.

But now my stress is going up I'm worried egg is gonna run away!

OP posts:
Autumn2014 · 12/02/2015 19:48

why would ewcm only be present days before ov? I thought it's job was to give the sperm a leg up to the egg. if it disappears and turns watery before ov then how is that helping?

I think I've been misunderstanding this TTC lark and missed my egg :(

Here I am! Grin

Beautiful Purdey, both you and Nancy Smile

eskimolaura · 12/02/2015 20:02

mustbemad I used the CB Dual hormone test this month. The flashing smiley indicates a surge in estrogen, which happens before the LH surge. This can occur anywhere between 2 and usually 5-6 days before the LH surge. It is more common to have two days of flashing followed by the peak smiley, but I think I had 5 flashers before I got the static one. The static smiley indicates your LH surge and once it appears, it stays on for 2 solid days and then disappears. The idea is that you get to know your 'high' fertility time and your 'peak' fertility time. We dtd once every other day during the flashing smiley time and then every day for three days when I got the peak. Hope this helps :)

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 20:02

I am not gorgeous. I just know how to polish a turd. I love that you complimented N-Pantz, though. She must've had a scrummy donor Smile I'm a little worried that it's inappropriate to post a pic of the tot. I shall happily remove it if any of you think I should.

eskimolaura · 12/02/2015 20:03

purdey you look exactly like I imagined! And Nancy is just GORGEOUS!!!!!

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 20:05

Please..no more compliments about me. I posted because I have no problem being outed (there is nothing my family or loved ones don't know about me and I don't care what others think) and I've often wished I could see what some of you look like. You're all ace Smile
