Loving the positive vibes from you all.

So yeh apparently high temp is a good sign. Will be 18dpo come Sunday so if a bfn I think it's a sign the witch will be round the corner.

My LP last two cycles has been 11 days but has been as high as 15 or 18 which apparently it shouldn't vary so much, but let's face it none of us really have "normal" cycles.

So cd 40. Apparently ov on cd 26. Now 14dpo. Oh the joys. At least the sun is shining Smile

Hi everyone,
So had my implant out 13 days ago and yesterday I had what looked like EWCM and I was very excited about this! We dtd the day before yesterday twice and nothing yesterday or today so far so hopefully we haven't blown our chances. Do was too hot this morning Hmm

BoBo90 · 20/07/2016 15:28

Baby you should be fine if you dtd tonight! Aperm can live inside for 3-5 days so it's best to dtd before ov rather than after 😄 And it is soooooo hot I don't think I could handle a sweaty bd right now so can't blame you oh 😉 Xxx

babydances · 20/07/2016 16:02

TMI PHOTO ALERT
TMI PHOTO DONT SCROLL IF EASILY YUCKED OUT SORRY Blush

Thank you bobo I think EWCM is before ov? Does that sound right?

Please could I just attach a tmi photo?
It's not of me but a photo I found online which is similar to what I had...

Very sorry if photo offends anyone Blush

babydances · 20/07/2016 16:02

Is this EWCM??

BoBo90 · 20/07/2016 16:21

😱

That's the stuff! 😆

OP posts:
babydances · 20/07/2016 17:26

Thank you bobo and huge apologies. It was a google image but looked like that. So that was yesterday so looks like the implant being out has kicked in then Smile
Feel very pleased about this and need to get bding if I can get dp in the mood in this heat!

Johno85 · 20/07/2016 19:52

So how everyone else cooking? Still no sign of AF yet!

Purpleviola14 · 20/07/2016 21:26

I am day 7 of my cold turkey cycle. So far very calm and destressed 😊
Fx johno, it doesn't sound like you are out yet

Johno85 · 21/07/2016 06:58

So it seems like taking a frer is like a invitation to AF. Big bbt dip this morning and red spotting. Annoyingly a longer cycle than I've had for a while. Roll on Sunday so I can escape from the madness that is ttc: if only for a couple of weeks! Fx for everyone else testing soon X

BoBo90 · 21/07/2016 07:34

Good to hear the cold turkey is going well Purple! 😊

Oh Johno that sucks for you! Hope af buggers off quickly for you and enjoy the ttc free time 😊

I second the frer brig an af invite theory! Af normally rocks up a few hours after testing for me. Stupid frers!!

5dpo.... Bored! No symptoms just usual post ov cm 😒
I told dh that this cycle will probably end in a bfn as I didn't have much Ewcm but that next cycle should be better as I'm hoping to produce more! Recently read that pregnacare can affect ewcm so I've probably spent the last 7 months without any because of that grrr 😡

Fx for anyone else waiting to test xxx

OP posts:
babydances · 21/07/2016 08:53

I've decided this hot weather is a passion killer! I think I may be out for this month. Angry

ClaireSunflower · 21/07/2016 09:45

Oh I know babydances this weather is not good for dtd! We are doing it every other day and last night was just too hot!

bobo I didn't know that about pregnacare!! I have been taking it for the last 4 months and never seem to get much ewcm! Oh dear 🙈 I might look at seven seas instead.

Lapin387 · 21/07/2016 10:29

Hi all,
I've been lurking on this thread sine stopping the cocp at the end of November, and have found it comforting to see other people in the same boat as me. At first I had a long five months with no period, then a 36 day cycle and 32 day cycle. Haven't been temping or opking, just dtd regularly and watching out for ewcm. Now on cd30. Took a superdrug early test this morning and think maybe there may be a faint line? It came up between the second and third minute. My acne has broken out, hair is greasy and bbs feel heavy. But those could be preAF symptoms. I've had some very light pink on wiping only. So cautiously excited that might be pg, but not convinced and feel that maybe it's all just AF on the way and me seeing what I want to on the test. Any thoughts?

Hi Lapin

Does look like a very faint line in the pic with the white background. I'm not at the testing stage yet, planning to come off cerazette on 31st July, so maybe the other ladies will have more to say!

Is cd30 a good time to test if your cycles are between 32-36? Perhaps wait another couple of days and test again?

Fx for you x

BoBo90 · 21/07/2016 13:29

Looks like a positive Lupin but try not to get too excited until after af is due as you have symptoms just in case 😄 Depending on your dates the spotting might have been implantation? How long ago was it? Xxx

OP posts:
Johno85 · 21/07/2016 17:43

Hey team get up the duff. So Lapin welcome! I see the line but I can't zoom in- from the pic I can't see any colour so wonder whether it's an ident? May just be the pic. When are you planning to test again?

bobo my personal BFP sponsor- no full AF. In fact put on a panty liner sorry hate that word (yet I can talk about ewcm!) and nothing!!! Was like this last cycle with AF. If my temp jumps back up tomorrow I'll maybe get excited! Your dpo are ticking along; told myself I wouldn't check in on here on holiday but will wanna see your BFP progress Smile X

Lapin387 · 21/07/2016 17:52

Thanks johno, bobo and lucibee.
The sensible thing to do would have been to wait a couple of days and test again... But instead I went out and bought a frer at lunch (and was paranoid someone would recognise it through the bag before I could stash it away at work). Tested just now. Think it looks a bit clearer. Had a tiny bit of pale pink spotting this morning though so still not convinced. After waiting nearly six months for my period post pill I was convinced It would take more than three cycles to conceive.

Lapin now that is as good a BFP as I've ever seen. Congrats! bobo this girl needs a fast track to the resident pregoo list! Won't like- totally jealous of your welcoming womb..... Send us all some of those vibes please Wink X

Lapin387 · 21/07/2016 18:06

Thanks johno. It seems mean to just start posting now, but I've been lurking and reading every post since November, (worrying that I'd had an early menopause and not noticed it and suchlike whilst waiting for the first AF) and found this thread such a comfort that I feel as if I've been part of it all along :)
