hi ladies from the old TTC thread, time to start a new one you think? Its gone way past 500!

Right.go on then, a little bit of magic is fun!

am off to Glasto this weds, and aparantly its good luck to run around the stone circle 3 times.

I'm doing it once for myself and some of my TTC buddies, but if you fancy a little of the glasto luck your way... pop your name here!

(its only a bit of fun!)

Treenie - glad you're feeling better!! Sperm can live for up to 5 days so your last few bd sessions should still be in there waiting for the egg anyway so I wouldn't worry! Also I'm sure once a day doesn't make it run out!! Good luck!

Cd10 for me today and not feeling anything yet..

fifilou · 28/06/2007 11:16

hello!

feel a little better today, but did something really stupid. (i know i know,go on you can tell me off) I tested! Weirdo freak am I not?

BFN of course. what a silly girl i am.

I dont know if ive even ov'd yet. what was i thinknig?

Am on cd28 today. But who knows whats going on, might have to give in to the ov tests, but im all confused.

Cor blimey, this thread moves far too quick for me!

Hope everyone is ok?

I know what you mean nomoremagnolia, and of course I mean no offence either.

I am really down in the dumps at the moment... never felt so pessimistic in my life. Normally I am the Positivity Princess - but the bubble has burst, tomorrow will be CD1 of Cycle 11 and I just can't see a time when I will be pregnant. It's sad.

fifilou · 28/06/2007 12:35

ready, as the hippy of wisdom fresh back from glasto, here is a hippy hug and some love. Its really crappy isnt it? Im early days, so can only sympathise my lovely. My poor friend is in your boat too, shes been trying for 18 months and is getting so down and stressed. Im sure it will happen for both of you, its easy to say dont get stressed, but its scientifically proven that stress isnt great for ttc. try some relaxation techniques, yoge, or maybe some running/walking to boost your emotions.

hope ive helped.

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 28/06/2007 12:41

(((Ready)))
Feel so for you, that's how I was a few months ago (when I took a break from mn) it's the most horrible feeling.

Ready · 28/06/2007 12:43

Thanks for your message fifilou - bless you for taking the time. I know what you are saying, but I am not really stressed as such. Down and dissappointed, certainly.

Fingers crossed you fall quickly. I hope your running round the stone circle brings you luck! I thought of you when I watched some footage over the weekend!

Ready · 28/06/2007 12:44

Crossed with you there nomoremagnolia (((hugs))) back. It's so unlike me to be down and negative. Sigh. I'll get there. I always do.

nomoremagnolia · 28/06/2007 12:57

it's kind of like hitting rock bottom though - bad (awful) when you're there, but at least it's the lowest you get and then it gets better.
CAT me if you like?
When do you get your test results? I'm going to docs at 5pm today (eek) and am feeling quite nervous about it!

fifilou · 28/06/2007 13:17

nomore....good luck at the doctors my lovely, am sure it will be fine. Be strong. Read the old crappy mags there to take your mind off waiting!

ready, big hugs.

i feel all confused myself, all crampy,all sicky,so tired, maybe im just knackered form glasto. Maybe AF is on her way tomo. oh i dont know, its all a bit annoying.

OP posts:
Treenie · 28/06/2007 13:37

Oh Ready and Nomore I feel so sorry for you both. Haven't even been ttc for a month and I'm going off my head with worry and anticipation - must be horrendous a year down the line.
Not having an experience or wisdom to share all I can say is that you've only really explored the natural route (I think?) and there are no so many treatments to help you - IVF etc. This is by no means the end of the road. Waiting is hellish when you want something so badly, but at least your not five years down that road - I know a woman who took 17 years to fall pregnant and spent a fortune on IVF. You are nowhere near that and it's highly unlikely you ever will be.
I don't know if that helps at all but I think it's nice to know people care - even those you don't know i.e. us lot. No matter what you are going through in this ttcing game there is always a woman somewhere who can relate - and she's prob on here somewhere!

cna i just say i love this site, and i love having you lot to talk to! non of my mates know i come on here, its a secret that i love to have!

I can chat away about the stupidist things and not feel stupid. I can talk about my worries and not feel daft or annoying.

Noone knows im ttc, and i love it that way!

OP posts:
fifilou · 28/06/2007 13:50

also, can i ask a really gross question about vaginal grossness as i cnat seem to find it anywhere on here.

I know about the sticky stuff meaning ov can anyone tell me the stages of it? pls?

I know its gross. but if i cnat ask here where else can i!!!!

OP posts:
Treenie · 28/06/2007 13:55

Fi I can't really help you with this I'm afraid as only every had a very small ammount of if it. I suggest googling and you might get pics - ewh I know, but will help.
But remember mucus is not the be all and end all. I would say for you on cd 28 do another test tomorrow and if (and we hope not!) AF does come then keep a very close eye on things next month and note it all down.
Also you have to watch a programme on BBC 3 tonight at 9pm called make me a baby - quite informative last week I found.

for fifilou!

fifilou · 28/06/2007 14:08

thanks scorpio, mine is the first one so now im mega confused?!

Perhaps my body has only just recognised that im off the pill? camo off june 1st. really confused now.

shall i get some ov sticks do you reckon?

OP posts:
scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 14:11

in my experience, it took a few months for the pill effects to leave my body. ds1=4 months ttc, ds2 =5 months ttc.

mybe you dont get ewcm? what your getting now is fertile have you checked your cervix, too? if your fertile, it will be high.how are you checking your CM? i find it more effective having a rummage round for it iyswim?

koocoo · 28/06/2007 14:16

hiya ladies,

I was told by a friend that its best not to do the deed all the time, as the sperm dilutes ( cant think of a better word!) is this the case? or is sperms at its best potency all the time they ejaculate? sorry sounds so matter of fact, but dont know how else say it!!!

thanks x x

fifilou · 28/06/2007 14:17

i checked it with my fingers, sorry this is gross i know. Its creamy and exactly like the 1st one described, i only checked it the last few days and its been like this. I mapped my cd from the 1st day of my last period, which wasnt an actual preiod i guess, it was a withdrawal bleed, so this could be the start of things?

hope so, how exciting! thanks lots scorpio, i know its all a bit ucky conversation!

will defo get some ov testers now (treenie im eating my words!)

koocoo-every 2/3 days is best, for the best sperm!

fifi-i found ov tests stressful. you might not be having a true cyle this time, because its so close to you coming off your pill.you might be though, so keep going! if its like the first one, then you are fertile. get the sperm in there for when an egg comes!you an get the pre-ewcm for about 5 days efore ewcm. some women dont get ewm at all; so then the last day of creamy is fertile.

is that ok?

fifilou · 28/06/2007 14:36

tee-hee have just sent dh a saucy email to book a date for this eve!

What does ewcm mean my lovely?

OP posts:
scorpio1 · 28/06/2007 14:50

Egg White Cervical Mucus

basially, the fertile mucus that looks like egg whites.

Good job im not easily embarrassed! have a good date tonight!

fifilou · 28/06/2007 14:53
