Well girls dh has now left for his bucks w/end. ds had a really big morning at toddler kindy and was sound asleep by 12:30 so enough time for dh and i to bd!! Today about i had EWCM OMG i couldnt beleive it when i saw it i really havent had that or even that much since b4 i fell pg with ds. Maybe all that shit iam taking does do something!!! Just wondering though would i be oving today or in the next couple of days? Dh not back till sunday and he promises that he will come back when ds is asleep so we can bd in the arvo. Have we missed the boat because he is away tomorrow????? AND (TMI WARNING) when he withdrew there was hardly any backflow (IYKWIM) Going to my nanna's again tonight for dinner cant catch up with you guys till i get home but should be able to have a good chat as i wont have dh on my back needing the pc.

I asked the question about EWCM and I think someone posted that it starts 2-3days before ov. Suggest definitely bd in Sunday! Don't forget though that swimmers can live up to 5 days in fertile EWCM as well!

Tessiebear · 29/10/2004 08:12

Tania - did you get the EWCM BEFORE you BDed??? I got it on the Thursday and BDed once the next day, then that was that - you know what the result was I am not sure of the time lapse between getting the EWCM and Oving though . i think temping would be the only way to find that out. Even if you BDed just before the EWCM you might be ok - because the purpose of the CM is to nourish and keep the sperm alive until OV

hester · 29/10/2004 09:18

Morning all. Well, I went and cuddled my friend's baby girl and she was very lovely . Funnily enough, I don't find holding babies very painful (maybe just a bit); it makes me feel very calm and peaceful, I love it. Anyway, my friend told me that she'd been up the night before in a welter of hormones and had actually started wondering if she should give me her baby! I said, 'But then you realised you'd have to kill me, right?' And she said, 'Yeah, pretty much'!

Anyway, Tania gave me my first laugh of the morning with her talk of backflow. You ladies are doing my head no good at all - this is just one more thing to get obsessive and crazy about! Still, sounding very hopeful for you, Tania!

Becki and jeddah, so sorry about your BFNs

Wilbur, I think you'll find that Cadburys Fruit & Nut has vitamin B, selenium AND iron. It's so good for you it probably should be prescribed. And pmsl at your Tarantinoesque dd.

And where IS golds?

mariella · 29/10/2004 09:58

hello everyone! well i'd appreciate your help working out my opks, I'm using them for the first time ever, I normally have 29-30 day cycle so would expect ov on cd 15ish? started using opks on cd10, line was there, quite strong but fainter than ref line. have been using them every day since(1st thing in the am) and the line has been very very faint every other day to the extent that I could hardly see it this morning (cd 14). so do you think the line on cd 10 was the surge? or do you think I just haven't had the surge yet? I'm a bit confused about it all. They are clearblue btw.

Bibi20 · 29/10/2004 10:10

Morning all

Got a top tip for when you're in the post pd bum on the pillow position.... don't sneeze.

Bibi20 · 29/10/2004 10:10

bd even

Bibi20 · 29/10/2004 10:13

Hi Mariella

Think the line on the opk has to be as dark as the ref line for it to be positive... I've also read that you should use opks in the afternoon as LH hormone builds up during the day...

One other thing, when I have a 28 day cycle I ov on day 16 - it doesn't always have to be half way through... some months I ov day 20 and have a 32 day cycle...

HTH

MommyD · 29/10/2004 10:23

Mariella - I'm no expert on OPKs and have started using them this month for the first time. I have a 27-29 day cycle and am using them just to confirm when I ov. Last month I am pretty sure I ov on cd13 and AF arrived cd27 - i.e. ov +14 days which sounds right. Using OPKs to check this month. I started using them on cd9 and no surge, likewise cd10. I am on cd11 and expect to get a surge today/tomorrow
I think that you should keep going for another couple - it would be VERY early to ov on day 10 given the length of your cycles. I would suspect that you will ov on cd 15-17?
Yes and the line has to be as dark, or darker than the ref line - and yes use in pm, not am
Not much help. Did you bd on cd10 just in case?

hester · 29/10/2004 10:28

How are your pillows looking, Bibi20?

Sallie · 29/10/2004 10:32

I'm on cd16 now so approaching ov time which will probably be in a few days time. Last month it was days 18 and 19 according to persona and af came on cd29. However, had some ewcm on day 10 which was odd...

Bibi20 · 29/10/2004 10:37

pillows - don't ask - luckily it was dh's!!! [evil grin]

Twiga · 29/10/2004 11:00

Bibi - lol

Hi everyone, not got long again, as dn getting bored while I read through, playing just now so getting this in before she decides typing is more fun. Am taking her home tonight, we're catching a flight down to Luton - hoping she'll sleep on the flight but will pack books and snacks just in case - any other suggestions welcome. feeling a bit sad about her going, it's been a fab week and the house is going to feel a bit quiet once I get back on sunday afternoon.

Hope you're all having a good day - for all of you that had sun yesterday, we've forgotten what that looks like in aberdeen!

MINNIE1 · 29/10/2004 11:50

G'day girls,
Tessiebear yes i got the EWCM about 1/2 hour b4 bd and i wont be able to bd till sunday arvo so really iam only missing saturday arvo bding which should give dh swimmers time to build up but they maybe drunk from the bucks w/end... I have been using the Maybe Baby saliva ov test and it did show this morning some ferns if it gets more ferns tomorrow i will know if i am oving.

Hester someone on here got me wondering about the backflow thing its just another thing for us all to worry about. but iam glad i mad you laugh this morning. IKWYM about the pillow thing just thinking that today that i need to use a light colour pillow case instead of a navy blue one IYKWIM...

Bibi 20 dont forget to mention not to cough or laugh which is bloody hard to do when you have your legs in the air and a bum on the pillow freezing your tits off wanting to get back into your jimmy jams.

Where is everyone today i can chat freely without dh wanting to use the pc and noone is about....

Minnie when you say that your af is going funny is that just the clots. Clots aren't always a bad thing you are just getting rid of all the crap inside, so dont really stress about that you will proberly find that most of us get clots.
The dr will ask you if you have been charting how long ttc etc. i dont know what happens on your side of the world but i then went on a waiting list for a laperoscapy to see if my tubes are blocked but i have endo for the past 10 yrs.
