I'm the proud owner of 2 x cb digi and £17 poorer. Was hoping to do one before work but I was late and can't really smuggle one in now but will try again tomorrow.

Pulpi I'm sorry that sucks. Will you test again tomorrow? Maybe HcG levels just not high enough yet (what I'm telling myself)

london I'm doing well thanks! Except for slightly tender breasts nothing much to report except worry I'm dead keen to pay for a blood test to check my hcg levels again (the clinic did two early on)!
How about you?

madredear that's rubbish about DH. I had a lovely chat with mine over the weekend, we have used condoms pretty much our whole relationship since I didn't like the pill, and he said it freaked him out a bit doing without! Said it might take a while to get over it...which was delightful. Hopefully he has got over it and we can go tonight

How strange that so many of us have ovulated early this month! I must mention it to my reflexologist tomorrow.

I have updated the stats - there is some information missing - especially estimated testing days. If you want me to update this for you let me know.

stats

birchygoo, sorry I forgot to add my estimated testing day! It's the 19th August :D

Really cheeky of me but would you mind adding it in please? I promise to remember to include it normally next time ;)

I think I may have OV early too. Just out of interest, how many days to you all get the ewcm for? I normally notice it twice in the month, but there wasn't any this morning which is a bit worrying as I'm going to be so upset if we don't at least catch it this month, I'll feel I let myself down.

Had to laugh today, I normally get really into preparing for anything I am doing, but since I can't really do anything just now since DH doesn't want us to chart, I have gone into full on nesting mode, and today got the highly exciting delivery of vacuum storage bags and dehumidifying things.

lily I always got at least two to four days of EWCM. This BFP cycle I had nothing all month! Not even watery stuff! Nada.

So after a few negative OPK's and some attempted temping i thought i was never going to get a sign of OV however having just been too the toilet i have EWCM which i have never seen before..... i am extremely excited as we DTD last night :) FX

Madre were testing around the same time again :)

Emily I seem to get ewcm from about cd6 to cd14ish. I seem to get it after I've ovulated too. I drives me mental as I'm obviously getting it when I'm not that fertile. I am starting to wonder if my 'default' cm looks ew. I also get it just before af too. Stupid body!

Kitty, yay can't wait when exactly are you testing?

I'm starting to lose patience, being stuck so early in my cycle sucks

Sorry just seen that you're testing on the 18th Kitty, so a day prior to me

Fingers crossed, I'm sending love and support your way and will keep you in my thoughts

emily just checking that it isn't the jizz from you DTD last night? If you say you've never had EWCM before can you tell the difference? You could taste it. CM is usually without any taste, jizz is well jizzlike

My name is Emily and I'm also testing on the 19th like you Madre

No it's not Jizz trust me i know what his jizz looks like

Forgot to say, one of the questions DH asked me was 'were does it go, and does it all not just run out??' Had to explain that was why I was very very still

Kitty, I'm so excited ???? 1 day before myself! Fx for both of us.

Hello Sugars, not seen you before, how long have you been trying hun?

After the past 2 cycles I may well hold off until the 19th tbh. I'm due af on 18th but after last months possible chemical I think I'll leave it until I'm either late of af arrives.

That's all assuming my willpower is strong enough!

That's good emily!

Oh Pulpi gut punch indeed. Sorry for the other AFs and BFNs too.

Auf have I said congrats?! I forget. Congrats anyway, possibly for the second time! Maybe I'm confused between the buses!

How odd about all the early OV this month!

CD10 and don't think I've ov'd yet - I think I usually feel it. So a week of DTD ahead! Informed husband this morning that his services would be required later.

So this cycle for the first time I'm going to stock up on tests and POAS with abandon. AF is due the first day of our honeymoon, so fingers very firmly crossed this cycle, but think it would be better to prepare myself in advance than get caught out by a surprise AF while we're away.

Someone's mentioned Home Health on Amazon for tests - any other recommendations? TIA

Ta muchly pallas

I think just for my sanity, I might secretly do some OPK testing next month if we miss this month. I thought I knew my cycle really well, but realised while I notice things, I don't retain the information. Still, I always get OV cramps, and was sure that was happening last night, but also feeling it a bit today too...

I oved when I thought I would. It was FF throwing my dates off weirdly. I've got bloody bad ov pain again this month. Kept me awake last night

Is anyone taking any conception supplements? Would be interested in any opinions/recommendations.

Just looked at Vitabiotics' Conception ingredients and they have Vit E from a soya source. I guess it must be in microscopic amounts, but soya is counterproductive to conception, isn't it?!

I'm currently taking Pregnacare Original but that's all

I'm driving myself batty trying to work out if I'm avoiding all the things I should. Most recent one was after buying lots of herbal tea to try and cut down on caffeine, I realised they all had Liquorice root in them which is not recommended.
