Can someone tell me what ewcm stands for? . I have a fair idea bit just wanted to clarify.

heron22 · 07/06/2008 21:06

hi choccie, it stands for egg white cervical mucus.

chocciedooby · 07/06/2008 21:09

Thanks Heron.
How long is that supposed to last for?

shubiedoo · 07/06/2008 22:47

Congratulations Heron! I remember you from a previous 2ww in March...
I'm due Mon/Tue and will not be testing until Father's Day, would be a nice present for dh! We only just decided to go for a third though this cycle, so I'll be surprised if it happens this soon.

Nellstar · 08/06/2008 09:01

Clearly First Response weren't lying with their test 6 days early marketing. 10 dpo at 4am yesterday (yes I know, mad) did a test and BFP!!
Can't believe it, probably won't until past the point of the last m/c (6 weeks). So sorry tink for your af, here's to next month.

heron22 · 08/06/2008 11:20

CONGRATS Nellstar!! that is great news!!!!

chocciedooby · 08/06/2008 14:43

Big Congratulations Nellstar!Great news. Hope it rubs off on the rest of us.

chocciedooby · 08/06/2008 14:55

Not sure whats going on with me I am on CD 21 and 9DPO (I think). I have been experiencing abdominal pain since ovulation and have also had EWCM on and off for last 9 days. What is happening to me???
I am anxious now as I am wondering if I will have a strange month again (like April where I was convinced I was pgt, was 5 days late with all the symptoms only to start bleeding clots)sorry TMI. I have done a test ( silly I know as far too early) and got BFN as expected.
Is it normal to have these pains for so long? Is it normal to have EWCM on and off like this? Beginning to wonder if I have the startings of Endometriosis?

Nellstar · 08/06/2008 18:10

Thanks heron and chocciedooby. I'm not an expert chocciedooby but if you're worried maybe a trip to the gp would put your mind at rest. There must be a thread on endometriosis here somewhere? Sorry not to be more helpful.

heron22 · 09/06/2008 10:03

hi choccie, how about going to see your gp and asking to be referred to a fertility clinic?

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 10:22

Thanks for your advice Heron.I still have the aching but its not really what I would describe as painful.Have decided to wait until my AF is due (15th)and if I am more than a few days late and still getting BFN's then I will see the GP.
I have 2 DS's and they were conceived very easily.I would be shocked if I had fertility problems but then I am a few yrs older now.
How is everyone else doing?Any more BFP's?

pollyblue · 09/06/2008 11:58

Can I join your thread please? . I'm on my 2nd month trying to conceive dc2, AF due saturday 14th. Hoping some of Nellstar's good luck rubs off!

chocciedooby, I've got endometriosis and it can cause various symptoms, most commonly very painful/heavy periods, bowel problems, difficulty conceiving...it can vary from woman to woman. If you're having unexplained pain see you gp - endo can only be ruled in or out by a laparoscopy which he or she can refer you for.

Good luck everyone!

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:26

Thanks Pollyblue.
When I went into hospital in April with unexplained abdominal pains and bleeding they were supposed to scan me but the Dr. there refused to on the grounds that my test was a BFN .
He did ask me if I had had a Laparoscopy before.I haven't so will keep fingers crossed I am pgt and don't need to go through that.
I don't have heavy or painful periods, I did however have the Mirena coil but that was removed about 10 months ago.

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:27

I am going to stay positive and hope that I get a BFP next wk

queenie1 · 09/06/2008 12:38

Hi all - congratulations Nellstar! Great to hear things are going so well Heron! And welcome to Polly Blue!

So a question...I'm CD12 and have loads of EWCM today (but nothing yesterday). Does this mean I have ovulated already, am ovulating NOW or will very soon?

Me and DH had sex Sat morning, evening and Sunday evening and need to know whether I should be seducing him again tonight and tomorrow, or whether the deed may already have been done???!!?

xx

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:50

Hi Queenie. I would say "go for it" .
I had EWCM on CD8 and then nothing til CD17.Haven't a clue really when I ovulated but decided to go on achiness.Problem is achiness has continued.
Just go for it to cover all avenues

Meeely2 · 09/06/2008 12:54

i need a virtual slap - AF due tomorrow (if we going by 31 day cycle, due next tues if we go by last months cycle) and i tested this AM with an "early detection" HPT....twas neg.....

tell me to sit on hands til at least 18th.........

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 13:45

Been there - done that too
Can't help myself

pollyblue · 09/06/2008 14:05

I started testing five days early last month . I am a pillock. Absolutely not testing until friday this week.

Chocciedooby, maybe the probs you're having are to do with having your coil removed? I don't have the endo typical painful or heavy periods either, i was diagnosed following two sudden, severe bouts of pain and a doctor who was on the ball. Hope your probs are just blips and you haven't got anything to worry about. that you weren't scanned in april though.

Fingers and toes crossed for lots of BFPs in the next week!

emma2617 · 09/06/2008 15:39

Meeely I have done the same this month...done 5 tests already and only 11 DPO!! Im not testing now til Thursday...despite the delivery of 2 x First Response tests this morning!!
