Feeling a bit better now, we've both had a nap until someone rang trying to sell double glazing that we cant have as its a rented house. Nearly gave her a piece of my mind about waking us up but I thought she'd think I was a right lazy cow.

I do sometimes give DS one of those round, double sided mirrors as he loves it and he normally stays still. But I put it on the bookshelf so he cant get to it. Then DH moves it to the bathroom. Then we argue because he has moved it. It happens at least 3 times a week. Its so bloody annoying!!!

largeginandtonic · 06/06/2008 16:12

Dotty that is one of my fave names for a girl. Dorothy. I love it, dh does not.

The thread moves too fast for me, you natter boxes

Moosma · 06/06/2008 16:23

Either this LO is taking its time digging in or AF has returned with a heavy tan, I have more blood, still brown though.

I like Dotty too, DH would not. I have suggested Matilda/Tilly. He turned his nose up.

lastboxoftampons · 06/06/2008 16:26

I think I may have to join you in the complete confusion Moosma This morning I had a huge temp spike - my temperature hasn't been that high in a while. But I've just been to the bathroom and there looked like the faintest amount of brown-ish on the paper. Rooted around in there and sure enough had a little bit of blood on my finger. I'm 8dpo today but with a measly 10 day LP. Last month I started spotting on 8dpo. So I guess I'm out. But can't understand why I would have spotting and temp spike on the same day. Doesn't spike mean more progesterone, which is meant to keep spotting away? Oh, well, I guess it was just a fluke temp...

Moosma · 06/06/2008 16:31

Maybe it's implantation, that would explain the spotting and the temp raise. [hopeful]

kayzisexpecting · 06/06/2008 16:32

I don't mind Dorothy but I'm not keen. But thats because it was my nans name and she scared me. She had emphysema and smoked like a million fags a day. She spoke like someone who smoked a million fags a day. My brother and me were terrified of her and just followed my grandad who we both adored round everywhere.

Miss both of them now they aren't here and I do wish we didn't find her so scary.

I really like Layla, DH seems to like it but he is one of those DH's that would say yes to calling a baby BooBoo if I sais I liked it.

Hi everyone,
I need a little advice! I have been trying to work out ovulation by checking ewcm, and am getting a little confused (and down) .
I am 14 days after last period and normal cycles (before DD1 - this is my first cycle after the return of my period) used to be 28 days long.
So - I am not experiencing much ewcm at all. I started noticing some on day 9, and have had a little each day since. Then this morning I had some which was quite thick or thicker...?) sorry if TMI!!! But still - it's not like there's loads of it. basically I only see it maybe twice a day after going to the toilet. I am wondering if there is not enough of it to mean I am ovulating?
So how much of it should there be do you think? And once I have ovulated should there then be none at all?
Heeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

imaginarybluelines · 06/06/2008 16:41

have I grossed everyone out with too much mucous chat?

I could post some pictures for clarification!
(only joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

kayzisexpecting · 06/06/2008 16:43

Normally when you have ovulated it goes completely. So make sure you have plenty of GOFs until it has gone.

(someone will probably be here soon to be more scientific)

imaginarybluelines · 06/06/2008 16:48

Thanks Kay. I just thought there would be more of it. It's hard to tell whether I have ovulated or not (so I am thinking not). I guess I will get better at noticing changes as we TTC.

Thanks Moos but I dont' think it is. I'm feeling pretty AF-y now. This is how it started last month

IBL I think if you're not used to checking your CM and you don't get much to begin with (like me) it's easy to mix up the different kinds. I usually get a tiny amoutn of EWCM from about 3 days before O but by the time I O, it's gone already. Not sure if that's helpful, but as long as you still see it, you might as well keep on GOFing!

NatalieJaneIsPregnant · 06/06/2008 17:07

Sorry if it is your period Lbox, fingers crossed it will dissapear...

IBL, yes you should sill keep on GOFing until all EWCM is gone, but, the erm.... produce from GOF is easily mistaken for EWCM, the easiest way to tell them apart is to grab a gloop of the stuff (nice !!) if it sinks it's EWCM, if it balls up and floats it is (how did BB put it?) baby batter?

Also, if you find it is semen, that doesn't mean it has all been semen, you may well have OV'ed already, but I'd keep GOF'ing until you are dry.

You don't have to have EWCM to be fertile, just wet and slippery is as good, some people never get EWCM.

NatalieJaneIsPregnant · 06/06/2008 17:08

Shall I find the picture with the killer nails?? LMAO

NatalieJaneIsPregnant · 06/06/2008 17:10

glaskham · 06/06/2008 17:14

Oh dear...i'd just finished my yoghurt.... and am now feelign it come back up!! Though that is what my EWCM is like.... all slimy and minging, and i go to wipe myself and see it just dangeling there!! i used to think it was my body doing horrid things!! till i joined this thread and leart all about my EWCM!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnant · 06/06/2008 17:18

LOL

It kind of fasinates me in a v. weird kind of way, before I had DS2 I had no idea of it either, it is amazing what your body does every month, just incase, for the very slightest chance you might maybe one day get pregnant.

lardylumps · 06/06/2008 17:25

IBL I ov on sunday I know this because I used OPK. I am still getting CM now but it is thicker and milky. I think this is the sperm hostil CM and means you are no longer fertile...........

lardylumps · 06/06/2008 17:26

If I get pg again and if it is a girl me and dp are buggered and someone has got to back down because out of all the 100 names we printed off the internet there were only two that we agreed on and dd has both of those...... gulp.....

lardylumps · 06/06/2008 17:27

Sorry how rude of me Hello everyone

Moosma · 06/06/2008 17:28

lardylumps · 06/06/2008 17:31
