Hello all, gorgeous day here today temps still high and feeling more optimistic than most days
Lucy1977, you are very welcome I?m glad I could help. The breastfeeding may well have a lot to do with it. I think my book said to look out very carefully for EWCM as a guide to whether or not fertility had returned or not. Now that I know that, I?d say that they might not agree to do a 21 day test on you given your circumstances. I haven?t read the chapter as it doesn?t apply to me (yet!) but there is a good one in Toni Weschler?s book on Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I?ll have a quick look at it for you over the weekend (away on business tonight). The book also has pictures of fertile CM! another way to think of it is, is it wetter than the other CM you have and is its texture lubricative, can it stretch between your fingers? All signs of it being EWCM. Also the wetter CM tends to create round or oval stains on underwear rather than lines. Hope that helps!
Scorpio ? looking good hon, hang in there! try not to feel if you get your BFP it?ll be a terrible waste and if you don?t, you?re closer to getting one! Yes, I am an eternal optimist; tell me to get lost if you like!
Hi Awen know the feeling! Good luck!
Hello and welcome Catbabymommy ? lots of lovely new friends on here! From a textbook perspective, you probably OVd the day of your wettest CM which should also have been the day before it came to an abrupt end if that makes sense! Sounds like you?ve been VERY busy fingers crossed!
Hi Tigerseasterchick hope the appointment goes well.
Hello Fifiworld ? how are you? Still symptom spotting?
Ambi fabby! Congratulations! You?re our 3rd this week aren?t you? Very lucky thread this is!!
Daisy ? seems that you will be taking lots of friends with you to the AN thread! hope I can come too ? is it Nov or Dec for you? don?t put that charm away! Make an appointment with your Dr and get a form for the midwife to get into the ?system? but they might send you away until a few weeks have passed. I was fed up that they weren?t as excited as me! but it?s really understandable given that they see it everyday! I drank a lot of Virgin G&Ts, if you really don?t want to be found out, get the first round and get the waiter/waitress on side!
Caz10 ? fingers crossed! If your GPs are anything like mine, they won?t even test until you are 5-6 weeks when I made an appointment after 4 BFPs when I was 4 weeks, the Dr asked DH if he could ?verify? that I?d got them! I was very it was as if she thought I was some mad woman making it up! She?d never even met me before! ( what?s in my notes????)
Re excuses for nights out ? I got my BFP the morning of my friend?s weekend hen I was panicking that all my friends would realise as we?ve known each other for years and all drink far too much anyway, I enlisted the support of another friend and fooled them all. I made sure I made the most noise about needing a drink, then held my glass most of the time and made sure I filled up everyone else?s. I also didn?t want to lie to anyone so just said I was trying to cut back or felt a bit off (all true!) good luck with it! There were some who couldn?t be fooled and had to be told which was fine as when things went wrong for me, they were just the people I turned to for support and it was a relief that they already knew half the story!
