Hi all, I have a bit of an update, i had a slight twing in my side this morning which makes me think ov time is here! but no EWCM yet so might be bit early, mind you i thought the pain was as egg was released?? hmm, anyhow we'll keep at it and try to catch her! By my dates it should be today or tomorrow so bang on time if so. DH has lost his voice and feels rough but he's not getting off that easily! told him to say he feels terrible and come home early so i can 'tuck him into bed' !

I'm glad i made your DH laugh smiley my DH would have kittens if he knew we discussed all our private bits online! like i tell him tho it's not as if any of us knows who we are!

whitebeaches yes i agree too, try again in a day or two with FMU and see what happens, sounds good tho!

How exciting to hear about scans, yes do post pictures!

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 09:53

Cancel that i have just been to the loo and have lots of stretchy EWCM ..... DH has to come home now!!!

(heeby heads off to the phone and tells DD she is tired and ready for a nap when daddy comes homes!)

Jools1 · 20/10/2008 10:24

that made me laugh ! Good luck Heeby

smileycat · 20/10/2008 10:27

heeby sounds like you hit it bang on this month, good luck to you fingers crossed. According to the 2 websites I'm charting on my peak time is anything from today to next Monday as I haven't pin pointed my Ov days yet, although my temp took a 0.3 rise this morning (first month of temping) so looks like it could be on its way, keeping an eye out for the stretchy stuff but no sign of it yet, but looks like we could be in sinc this month, lots of baby dust for us both

nelix2000 · 20/10/2008 10:34

goodluck heeby! timing is EVERYTHING!....yay! lol.....have a good afternoon!

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 10:47

Oooooh thank you guys! very exciting, although DH can't come home early from work so will be pacing until 5.30pm unless he can swing it to get off early, will keep pestering him till he gives in!

nelix that's exciting that you got the same, how long after first pain and EWCM did you then insem? i'm hoping that tonight won't be too late, i haven't had any CM at all until this morning so last nite's attempt won't be any good really.

Ok relax Heeby, it's ok ..... !

smiley yes we could be indeed, i hope so then we can hold hands for 2 weeks and keep each other from testing early!

Fingers crossed for you too xx

Jools1 · 20/10/2008 11:00

Heeby - my BFP arrived when I got ov pains early evening and pounced on DP BD'ed that night Unusually, I got ov pains the next morning aswell - maybe 2 eggs

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 11:05

Villagemum - will definately continue trying... I read the Deanna plan, and have been following it, apart from missing one day because I and the DH have a cold. I have recovered and hopefully the DH will be better this evening! I wish our systems had a bell to say "the egg is coming..." it would make life a lot easier... Its nice to know I still have enough time and that the month will not go to pot!

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 11:07

Heeby.. good luck, I think you have the right symptons for a bfp - here's some babydust floating your way ~~~~~~~~~~~~

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 11:08

and to all of you ~~~~~~*

smileycat · 20/10/2008 11:55

heeby you would never guess what?, I've just done exactly the same as you & went for a wee & found EWCM although we did BD last night so hoping I've not mistaken it for the other stuff , but did the stretchy test & it stretched a good way. I'll check again later & have DH on standby tonight just incase, if my temp takes a flying leap tomorrow morn I guess it means I've OV'd & hopfully caught her on the way down

simpletwistoffate · 20/10/2008 11:56

Hi all,

Haven't been around all month. Realised after last month that I was completely obsessed, and needed to take a step back

Anyway, have been away on holidays, and now a lot less stressed. Bought and used opk's from internet, and have done the deed as much as possible without stressing dh out! Also, my sister and friend both annouced their pregnancies, so I deffo think I became completely too focussed on every single twinge...

I also think my cycle has lenghtened a couple of days since dd, so focussing on a 30 day cycle. Which actually means I'm a day late today. Don't think I have any of the symptoms I thought I had last month, but will wait another day anyway before testing.

Jools, Nelix, Sparky and Funtime hope you are all keeping well, and good luck to everyone else.

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 12:14

smiley That's sooo weird and very exciting! i thought exactly the same as you as we did BD last nite and that was my first thought but like you i did the stretch test and it went quite far, (TMI do you think?!) Anyway yes i shall pounce on DH as soon as he gets in and we're able to (Cbeebies will be doing a spot of baby sitting for DD that's for sure!)
let me know what your opk says in the morning and yes i'd cover all bases and grab him tonight too! just to make sure!

I hope that we're not relying on last nite TBH as we were in the wrong 'position' if you know what i mean, but hey lets hope it works anyway.

No more pains here and only a little EWCM so will keep drinking and waiting for teatime - off to see a friend in a mo so that'll stop me obsessing.

hi simple good to see you back and good luck for tomorrow, let us know won't you? do you think the opk has helped focus you a bit?

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 12:15

c1ndy meant to say ... thank you for the baby dust, lets hope it works for us all this month x

WanabeMum · 20/10/2008 12:36

Hello!!!!!
Wow a lot has happened since i last looked (been so hectic in work i've practically just been passing out when i get home).

CONGRATULATIONS funtime !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's fantastic news

Ooh ladies this could be a good month!!

Welcome to the newcomers, the more the merrier!

I'm only CD6 today so not quite at the BD stage but will definately take a leaf out of Heeby's book!! Good luck.

And ladies i hope you all post your scan pics, would be lovely!!!!

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 12:49

Heeby my OPK say I am positive but I have no stretchy CM, does that mean I may not have ovalated yet? sorry for so many questions but there is so much to learn!

smileycat · 20/10/2008 13:03

C1ndy if you don't see any CM when you wipe if you are ok about doing an internal yourself they say that you insert two fingers & press gently on the cervix & collect whats there to examine, but if you OPK says your positive I would take it as a good sign even without the CM
I'm not using the OPK just yet, I will do after this month if I don't have a BFP, just started recording by BBT in the morning to see when & if I OV'd & trying to detect it with CM to pinpoint BDing at the right time

VillageMum · 20/10/2008 13:52

cindy, heeby, smiley, good luck!!

Tell me, am I going crazy? Still only on cd3 but suddenly find myself having a wobble about getting pg again this month - after talking so much about when we'll start ttc after the mc we had in September it suddenly seems real now. Is this normal?! [confused emoticon!]

pinkie08 · 20/10/2008 13:53

Hi C1ndy Smileycat

CD11 for me and when checking for ewcm found mid cycle bleed - just spotting.

Rang the consultant and got told not to worry am still waiting for +ive from the OPK, is the bleed a sign of ovualtion.

Baby dust to all

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 14:04

Smileycat thanks. I am trying to do the observations of the CM but am not good at collecting what I am meant to be collecting. I did a test I think it was on Saturday and it was a tiny bit of CM but it stretched a little I guess. Then on Sunday the OPK went positive but I haven't had much luck with the CM thingy. I'll keep practising!!

VillageMum I had a MC in Sept and goush I know exactly how you feel. I just wanted to jump back on the pgWagon hence all my questions. You will feel strange about trying again, but for me it was my way of moving on.

Pinkie sorry can't help, I am new to all of this, but have know of people getting mid cycle bleeds not sure if you are ovulating.

VillageMum · 20/10/2008 14:12

Cindy thanks for replying - I'm feeling quite low about it all, suddenly, which is not like me at all. I've been on a real high ever since I finally ovulated again two weeks ago - we sat out that cycle so that I could have a first proper AF, but now that the time is here I find myself feeling afraid. Hmmmm... Maybe I'll feel differently in a few days!

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 14:25

SmileyCat Have gone and done an internal examination and I have watery but stretchy CM which I believe must be a good sign - so bding tonite!!

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 14:29

VillageMum cheerup honey, its really sad to have a MC and I know how you are feeling. Don't be afraid, just think of the bfp. Are you afraid of mc again? if you are then don't... think positive thoughts hugs

VillageMum · 20/10/2008 14:48

Thanks Cindy, I'm actually getting myself in a knot about the projected due date for a sprog conceived this cycle, as the birth would fall around the time of a fairly stressful event - my ex husband is getting remarried in what would be the very same week next year, and my ds will be expected to go to the wedding - some issues around that as he's not always keen to stay overnight with dad. So I think: would I really want to cope with all of that plus giving birth in the same week (assuming, of course, that this baby arrived on the due date?!) On the other hand, should I put ttc again on hold this cycle because of it? Aaaargh, I think I am driving myself nuts!
