Ready is having difficulty in getting on the other thread due to length of it, so started a new one.

Morning everyone!

Ready - I am feeling good thank you. How you doing?
This is my first month since the MC where I believe I have done everything I could possibly do to conceive so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I haven't drank a drop of alcohol in weeks, I have started going to the gym, I have been eating my 5-a-day (well, as much as possible anyway), I have been drinking grapefruit juice for plentiful CM (does seem to work actually!) and I have even been taking royal jelly as well as my pregnacare tablets. Oh, nearly forgot: AND we have been BD'ing loads, including the 3 days before OV and the day of OV.
Don't worry though, I do know that doing all of that does not guarantee a BFP but at least I feel I've done everything I possibly could do to maximise my chances! I will try to keep this up for as long as I can until I do get my BFP. Hopefully it will come soon...

minxi - good luck with the move! Are you moving far?

Ready and minxi - PG symtoms can be anything, can't they? Spots sound just as likely as anything I'd say! Fingers crossed!

Nappy - Wonderful news about your appointment!!! Not long to wait now!

Thinking - that sucks, I really feel for you. So annoying that DH's have minds of their own, isn't it?! Would be much better if they just did what we want them to, when we want them to the whole time, would it?!

Hello to everyone else too!

Minxi - Enjoy your manicure - don't worry about the boxes - a good strengthening mani will help

LittleSquirt - It's a great feeling when you know you have done all you can (do you stop the grapfruit juice at ovulation?) - my fingers are crossed for you!! What is the royal jelly for if you don't mind me asking? Only I am looking to add something to my regime

Hope everyone is topper this morning

Morning girls....

I know I always ask this question as I can never remember but large drop in temp is that pre ov ?

Hope everyone is well.......

Sorry Minxi - I am not understanding your question

well yesterday temp was 36.21 and then today has dropped to 35.40 does that mean I am about to ovulate or have ovulated can never remember how it works...thought I had ovulated Tuesday as temp was 35.95 so no idea really?!

sorry to ask such daft questions - shoudl know by now

Not daft at all - I was just being a dunce - I have had a dip a day or 2 before I ovulate, so I would suggest that it is quite possible you are about to ovulate. I think it relates to the changes in hormones, but don't quote me on it Is it a bit late for you this month Minxi?

readytricktreat yes it is a bit late but when you take the clomid you usually ovulate about 9 - 14 days (depending on usual cycle - mine has been about 9 days later) after the last one... well I forgot to take them days 2 - 6 so ended up taking them later and last one was on day 8...so I'm presuming around 16 / 17 to ovulate which is NOW!!!! although dh is ill, despite him being ill have managed to cover a few days
What about you - are you hopeful this month?
If it doesn't happen this month the termometer is going in the bin!

Oooh, well in that case Minxi - fingers and toes crossed (when are they not!!)
Me?? Well, this month I have veered wildly between highly optimistic, so much that I allowed myself to daydream about how I would tell friends and family. And other days I feel so utterly pessimistic, thinking it is never going to happen, that I am destined to a life being "Aunty Ready" to all my friends children. Sigh.

clearly not with it

minix i get odd temp days that just don't fit in. Wait until tomorrow and try and get a final fling out of DH.
Got everything crossed for you.

Hi girls...
Ready of course I didn't mind asking !

Nappy Thank you but I have no idea - just going to go with the flow from now on....

Howdy girls...

This is so weird but started to get EWCM already this month???? How strange? Its only CD10.... Earliest I ever ovulate is CD16, so can I have EWCM for 4-6 days? Last month I got it early as well but it dried up on CD14 and then I ovulated on CD16, it just does not make sense. Any Ideas?? When do you think I'm at my most fertile?

Do you think it might be the herbies?

Rah, Maybe you are going to ovulate early this month ?

We are on track for AF next weekend, so I'm not being to fussy about temping.

Hey Rah - I think 4-6 days of EWCM is a good thing. A good few days of it is surely a sign of fertility. It sounds suspiciously to me like the herbs are getting your juices flowing - and possibly regulating your cycle, you might ovulate on a textbook CD14 - and have a 28 day cycle!!! Just go with it chick, plenty of bedroom action and see what happens

Big wave to everyone else... hope all is well.

Very pessimistic here I think that I can feel the rumblings

Hi girls...forgot to take temp this morning as was away even so ff has put me down as ovulating cd14 ...so am 7 days past ov already?! and like you Ready have spots - never get spots oh well bound to be pre menstrual ones!

Rah good for you with the extra ew go for it girl!

Everyone else hope you are all ok...

This I have updated these right!

Yes 6DPO already so AF due on Friday.

Got to admit cycle is getting very regular but very wrong. Last 2 months had ov pains 4 days b4 ovulation.

Rah I get EW well b4 OV, but it has become more and for longer since reducing my caffine intake. Any correlation?

Thanks guys. I went out at the weekend and drank heavily on Fri and Sat... its all gone now .... Must be dehydration!

So there is a lesson for me - no EWCM if you drink too much!

I hope everyone is OK...

Ready how's the 2ww... you OK? Will email you ASAP... been so hectic over the last few days.

I'm off to watch Enders and think of a spooky name... how sad am I????

Morning girls - oh this is getting to that exciting time as most of us are within the next week - please let 1 - all of us get bfp!!!

Come on Rah you too....don't worry about the drinking sometimes you need a good few to enjoy life all over again - I know I do....if I had stopped drinking when first ttc well I would still be here 3 years on wondering when I could have one!!

come on everyone lets all have PMA - it is going to happen!!! this time next week wont be feeling soo positive so best make the most of it

Ready - how are you feeling ?

Your very right Minxi... I will carry on

Wow your very positive today....lets hope we get some of those BFP's this month... its got to happen some time!

Got my cross lines not that it means anything on this BFN cycle. But I got ovulation pains and I am confidant that I did ovulate for the first time this month. So next month (If DH doesn't run)can actually be a real attempt at TTC, at last I have waited so long just to have a chance at catching that egg.

Thinking - it is so annoying when dh's mess around just at that 'right time' in your cycle!! if it hasn't happened this month - act casual from around day 10 and misread the dates to him that way he wont know what is going on... luckily my dh is being quite accommodating to dates, even asking me to email them so he can juggle meetings so he can at least be in the country - who says romance was dead?!!

Hey ladies... suffering with blocked ears and my November cold is clearly coming early. Tut.

Very pre-menstrual too

PMSL at romance not being dead, Minxi

ohhhhhh Ready... Hope you feel better soon. I hate colds and PMT too!

I have read up today on clear blue monitors and have noticed quite a few people that have used them have become pregnant within a few months of using them.

They not only pick up LH surge but estrogen, so you get a very clear picture of when you are fertile. I also think it is quite positive to trust something and they seem very reliable.
I'm thinking about getting one, 12 months down the line... what do you think? As I still get confused as to when I'm ovulating or not. I seem to only really know after I get my period as then I can count 12 days backwards... lol (weeps in despair)

In 12 months Rah?? I tell you what, if we are both still trying in 12 months - we should get them together. I would be keen to try anything after 2+ years trying.
