@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@Aims1991 I get it! Sometimes it's the last thing you want to do when you've had a busy day too!

Hey ladies! @MrsRosaline that's so frustrating! You want to be understanding but must be secretly annoyed!

@hoola23 yes scan was this afternoon hun and all is good thank you! Measuring perfectly and saw baby wriggling about! Xxx

@newtolineofduty so glad to hear baby is wriggling about! That's the nicest thing - when you see them moving around! Such a huge weight off your shoulders...that and hearing the heart beat too 🙂🙂

Bit of advice needed ladies - so today I have had a LOT of EWCM. It's not clear but cloudy, and super stretchy. I was very confused as I'm only CD10, which is early for me even without the CP situation last month. So I took a boots cheap OPK and it's negative, so ovulation isn't around the corner so to speak. Has anyone ever had this before?? I've never had it so abundantly and not had a flicker of a line on an OPK. I mean there was barely anything in the test part. If we can be arsed we'll have some fun tonight, but DD has been a pain in the arse today so we'll see how tired we are.

How's everyone doing today? Xxx

@CShandy01 DO IT ASAP hun! The month I got my BFP I started with EWCM on the Sunday but didn't ovulate until the Friday-a full six days later! I've never had so much that early! X

@CShandy01 I get that every month. Ewcm from cd6/7 but never ovulate until cd14/15. My opk are always negative too even though there's loads of ewcm. I'd still DTD though!

@newtolineofduty aww that must be amazing to see! I can't wait until I get to that stage! ❤️

@newtolineofduty so lovely 🥰 congratulations!

I've just done some research on ewcm. I've always kinda ignored it and not tracked it but I'm going to this month. I'm also gonna try evening primrose oil and grapefruit juice to increase it. Anyone else tried these? Figure it can't hurt!

@GemB03 evening P oil is very good. I took 1000mg a day up until a few days before ovulation and I defo had an increase this month. Remember to stop taking it from ovulation though X

Yes @GemB03 and I got LOADS more than usual! I'm totally convinced that helped me get my BFP! The month I conceived was the most EWCM I've ever had! Basically just have sex when you see it and you can't go wrong! X

@newtolineofduty do you have an idea of the date you ovulated when you got your BFP? My ewcm is so much at the moment but like @CShandy01 nothing on the opk. I did one last night just in case! Just going to carry on DTD every other day though x

@hoola23 I started with EWCM on the Sunday and tested every day and got NOTHING until the Thursday evening and straight to peak! X

@hoola23 I got EWCM at least 5 days before my day of ovulation this time round. In TWW at the mo. X

Thanks ladies! Right, EPO is ordered... Picking grapefruit juice up on my way home from work tonight, started new Conceive + vitamins this month and back to the gym tonight and back to eating healthy too. Lucky number 12, right?

@FlyOnTheWall89 ohhhhh! What DPO are you?! Keeping everything crossed for you!!

I did another opk on the cb today. Still low! I thought it would at least say high due to all the ewcm!

@hoola23 I thought the same but I had days and days before I got my peak-never got a high! It's very positive! Just start DTD now incase you randomly ovulate early without much notice! X

@hoola23 roughly 6 DPO I think. I didn’t use OPKs this month. I tend to feel when I ovulate and followed my EWCM. This is cycle 7 now so I am trying to relax rather get obsessed by results and stats. Fingers crossed, but quite used to it not happening by now. X

@newtolineofduty oh really! Yeah we started on sat so will go again tonight too! Fingers crossed!

@hoola23 have you done anything different this month that might have caused increased EWCM? x

@newtolineofduty nope 🤣🤣 I always get it from cd 6 but there's just been a lot the last two days. I'm sacking off the opk and just going to have as much sex as I can and hope for the best. I really really really want to fall this month. I've just had it in my head that I've always wanted an august baby. Don't ask me why, just part of my vision and life plan 🤣 saying that, my original life plan was married at 26 first kid at 28. Reality: married at 32 no kids still!🤣

Hope it's okay to post here, I've posted on a new thread but here may be more appropriate?

It looks to me like today I have a good/near peak OPK reading, am I reading this right??

All of my previous readings have all been similar to 14 November (pics attached). Today is the first day where it looks to be the same colour line (even if the line thickness is less?).

Thanks,

@beaverdiego Hey! It looks like near enough peak to me. Get to it

Hey ladies. So DH had the telephone call with the docs today. They've said we're doing everything right, need to have sex less (she doesn't recommend everyday which we have been doing around ovulation), and she's going to refer us to a clinic. There's around a 6 month wait atm which I just can't do. My mental health is taking a battering so we're thinking of going private. Anyone else done that?
DH wants to just wait it out but I can't.

Hey everyone, sorry for the radio silence, I just finished the huge deadline I have been working towards for work and am back to normal, catching up on sleep etc. @newtolineofduty so lovely to hear your scan went well! That must have been a lovely moment.

I am on CD 33 and still no sign of period but I think it was delayed due to my stress levels (very common with PCOS). If it is not here by Friday, I will test. But I literally DTDed TWICE this whole month and at the wrong times haha. I feel like I have definite PMS though.

@plantbasedlondoner what's your longest cycle length on average? How 'off' were you with DTD do you think you were? My friend had sex once in a year the day after ovulation and got pregnant! (She wanted to!) x

Evening everyone, OH had his call with GP today and has to get sperm analysis done and I'm just waiting on blood results coming back. Still waiting on my peak, probs a few days away now
