Morning everyone! I am new to MN, as of yesterday, and delighted to find there is no badydancing on this thread...phew!

I've been TTC for 2 years now, just come on this morning, which means I will be starting Clomid tomorrow (ya boo!), which means I finally have to accept that yes...Ah'm BARREN! (wailed in an American 'hick' type accent, like in Raising Arizona!).

However, due to comments from yesterday's thread, I have diagnosed myself as having a short Luteal Phase (I'm sure my doctor will be delighted I've taken the work out of it for her :-) ), so I shall start experimenting and temping this month to see what happens.

Morning all, just checking in before work. It sucks that I miss out on all the day's action due to work Oh well, I suppose when I finally get to go on maternity leave will be able to indulge in MNing during the day
Teuch wow beach sounds fab! Very jealous
GJ Was that one of those £100 fertility test things? Would be interested to hear how you get on with it/what you think of it...
BB Not sure on the booby pain. CD60 here - I feel your pain sister! But think about it, at least you have the chance you might be up the duff! Me, not so much unless it was immaculate conception or broken condom!
Kayz grrr MILs can be trying at times can't they? Having no kiddies mine is OK, more interested in BIL, SIL coz they have one DS and another on the way - tho they do live across the other side of the world.
Catch you all later!

Cosmogirl · 16/04/2008 09:08

OOOOO had to come back on! Just went to loo before leaving house for work and wiped self, felt very wet. Looked at toilet paper and big clump of what can only be described as that EWCM stuff!!! Am so happy This must mean my body is working! Tummy feels a little crampy too today. Help ladies! Does this mean I have probably ovulated and AF should be on her way?? I need to go to work now but had to come on and share the happiness!!

Broodybabywannabe · 16/04/2008 09:18

Morning all (haven't done that for a while, not the sex just the smilies to let everyone know!!! )

EWCM is a very good sign of OV, but especially in such a long cycle, it can happen without OV, if it is OV EWCM periods should be upon you in the next couple of weeks, unless a BFP beats it!!!

Kay GRRRRRRRRRRR at your MIL, she sounds like a right piece of work. There really is no pleasing some people, so don't bend over backwards to please her. Is there anyone else who could have DS for you, even some of the time?

I have just worked out I am on CD12, this cycle is flying by, I bet give it a few days, I'll OV, and then it will gooooo soooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

DS1 and 2 are sat on the sofa having a cuddle together, both mesmerised by Tom and Jerry, chuckling away to each other, awwwwwww

NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 10:33

Sugar, forgot to say about GJ news I agree we need the finer details, has he said when he will think about it again? He must have said something to keep your hopes up, else you wouldn't be buying things.... I am hoping it isn't all bad news for you.

Broodybabywannabe · 16/04/2008 11:28

morning Nj ya minx!

your explanation of EWCM has filled me with some hope

Aww ds1&2!! sounds so cute !!

Cosmogirl · 16/04/2008 11:32

Just sneaking on at work - naughty me!
Thanks BB NJ - ooo I hope it is a good sign. Was sooo excited this morning. And looked like that picture [the one with the red nailed lady!]. I've never had CM like that before - but have been on pill for 8 years so guess that's why.
I'll record it on FF and await the arrival of AF (fingers crossed).

NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 11:39

Haha I am sex crazied starved, and right through the most important part of the month, DH has a cold/sore throat, and I have had a migraine on it's way for 3 days, it hasn't hit yet but I can feel it building up. Oh well, looks like there will be a at least a couple of not so GOF's in this house!

Now I have a date with DS1 and the Wii, can see this is really going to help my head, not.....

NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 11:41

Will keep my fingers crossed for you both Cosmo

With any luck you'll have had all the odd cycles out of the way by the time you are ready to fall off the pimped up GOF Express

kayzisexpecting · 16/04/2008 11:42

No no one can have ds, my best friend has him every now and again but as MIL doesn't like her she always has a go at me if she finds out she has had ds.

Playingthewaitinggame · 16/04/2008 11:45

Morning all,

Kay, LOL, I was not on who wants to be a millionaire, sorry, keep giggling at the idea of me training to ba a pilot though!!

Geordie, sorry that you talk didn't go that well. Money is such a shitty reason for waiting but sometimes needs must. We are waiting purely for financial reasons and I hate it. We simply do not have enough money for me to be on about a 1/3 of my salary for mat leave, particuarly as I do not want to go back full time after, so its not as if we could "get by" for a few months, its a permanent cut in income. Now I know we will never have enough money and there is no way I will be paying off our credit cards in the near future they are far too bad for a quick fix, more an ongoing project! Having said all that, we do need to have enough money to get by, so its finding a balance. Once our loan finishes next year and I finish paying off my car next year too we will be ok, so that is when I can be on mat leave. Its not quite as comfortable as I would like but it is realistically do-able, so we have worked back 9 months from when they will be paid off to give us a ttc date of Sept. Obviously we are not expecting to get pg right away but it is possible, so we want to make sure we can afford it!

Cosmos, the signs sound promosing, maybe you have finally ov'd! I seem to get crampy feelings around the time of ov as well as lots of EWCM!

Nat, you put us all to shame with your constant GOFing

Hi everyone else!

kayzisexpecting · 16/04/2008 11:49

Maybe you should go on who wants to be a millionaire!!!

I so wanted it to be you as it would be so cool. She got up to £50,000 and then the buzzer went so she is back on the next show!

Playingthewaitinggame · 16/04/2008 11:55

wow, that would be cool 50k, I could do with that!

Playingthewaitinggame · 16/04/2008 11:56

Oh BB, sorry not sure about the boob pain. I get very sore, firm boobs every month before AF, but then they are quite large so its not surprising.

Broodybabywannabe · 16/04/2008 12:00

lunch time!!

its a coming and going pain... hopefully signs of one or the other eh!

i reckon NJ your GOF addicted ha ha!!

my dp said the funniest thing to me last night after GOF, i asked him to put the light on and he said "ive given you my seed of life what more do you want" how funny!! x

Playingthewaitinggame · 16/04/2008 12:30

NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 12:39

I can't help it

LOL at your DP They do come out with some corkers after sex

NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 12:39

Ermmmm.... that didn't sounds right did it?!! I meant they can say some very funny things after sex

Broodybabywannabe · 16/04/2008 12:45

lol i knew what you meant! heres a crude Q for you all....you know ther erm "baby batter" (another of DPs charmers) do you find it tries to trickle out??

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 16/04/2008 12:49

LOL Yep, leftovers the day after is not pleasent, and often mistaken for EWCM.

That is why people either put a pillow under their bum or keep legs in the air for half an hour or so, to keep the buggers in

Broodybabywannabe · 16/04/2008 12:52

ah i think i will start doing that then, gotta gve yourself a chance eh!not had any left over the day after tho....thank god!

if even the lil sperms are against us (trying to escape!) then its a wonder any of us have kids lol
