MintChocAddict · 07/09/2008 23:48

Loads of congratulations to you Febes!! . Hopefully more of us to follow.

Talking to DH again. He bought me some doughnuts!!

LMM - Cycles have been like that since I was a teenager (many moons ago!!) Rarely get cramps or heavy bleeding. Just got used to it's strange ways over the years, I suppose.

Good luck to all. Check back in soon.

yellowflowers · 08/09/2008 10:25

Hello,

Congrats Febes.

Have been on holiday so no internet access. Managed to bd every day from 13-17 (cycle is 30 days) so fingers crossed... No chance yesterday (cd18) but will try tonight just to make sure. Didn't get any positives on opk sticks though and only a little ewcm.

Waiting2Exhale · 08/09/2008 11:06

Hi all....OPK's still confusing but have kept bding regardless....and temps are now up today which would seem to mean I ovulated yesterday...

Soooo officially on 2ww and if my temping is correct I would just in time for a May baby....nice (However, a june, august, September etc etc etc baby would be just as nice...hehehehe ).

Febes major congrats....and major respect for waiting as long as you have this month....and can only pray for the same strenght

1LittlePrincess thanks for undating the list...was completely lost on that ...

Welcome to all the newbies I havn't said hello to yet...wishing you all the best this month...great start so far with Febes.

Waiting2Exhale · 08/09/2008 11:08

P.s. sorry for all the grammar mistakes...

Sans04 · 08/09/2008 13:17

Congratulation to you Febes, i am very happy for you hopfully same thing happen to us too.

sammysam · 08/09/2008 20:26

Congratulations Febes What fantastic news! Hopefully we'll all join you this month!

Well done 1LittlePrincess-that was quite a big job!

Trying to keep positive-thinking about lots of baby dust-fingers crossed

littlemissmischief · 08/09/2008 21:07

Wow how exciting - Big congrats to you Febes you must be so !!!

Well on CD16 today and still no positive on the OV stick but could be having a long cycle I suppose, might start BD anyway just incase

Hey ladies looks like it might rain here tomorrow. I know that?s nothing to you lot (so sorry it?s been so bad for you this summer ) but we haven?t had a drop since we arrived here at the end of May.

Littlemissmischief ? no worries! I don?t believe anything is TMI when you are TTC I?d say yes, if you?ve got lots of CM, creamy or resembling egg white, go for it, sperm can live for up to 5 days in fertile quality CM so you can still successfully get pg even if you had sex before you ovulate and before you get a positive OPK by the way, that?s nonsense about the sperm weakening from lots of sex, if anything, you want the freshest you can get so its better to keep at it

Mintchocaddict ? sorry hon. Yup join Knicker Checking Anonymous! sounds weird but it?s interesting.

1littleprincess ? good list LOL forgot about that episode of Friends!

Sans04 ? thanks hon All the best for 15/9.

Way hey Febes ? fabulous!!! congratulations hon!!!

Yellowflowers ? good job! have you tried drinking grapefruit juice? sounds silly but it did increase my EWCM when I was trying for DS

Waiting2exhale ? time for a rest for you

?.no clue what?s happening here

MintChocAddict · 08/09/2008 23:23

You're full of useful tips MrsMcJnr! Off to Asda tomorrow to stock up on gallons and gallons of grapefruit juice!!

yellowflowers · 09/09/2008 08:58

Mrsmcjnr - yeah, had grapefruit juice every day for ten days and was the first month I didn't notice much ewcm - probs co-incidence. Very odd though. And not a peep from the opk sticks. On the plus side managed bd last night too.

Jools1 · 09/09/2008 09:00

Morning all

What a big list we have now

MintChocAddict - I used grapefruit juice this cycle from CD1 to Ov and I think it definitely helped increase EWCM

This week is dragging by - only 4DPO and another ten days before I can test but no matter what my head says, my imagination runs riot and starts symptom spotting already

It doesn't help that Fertility Friend estimates what your due date would be if that BFP arrived - would be May 29th

Huge congratulations to Febes May there be many more !

alfiemama · 09/09/2008 10:17

Hellooo everyone

I was on the May thread with a few of but been awol for a little bit and so has my af.

On about cd38 now and still no af, feeling very sick and seen to be able to smell everything going

about 10 days ago I felt like af was coming, you know when you think its coming now, well it didnt had a few niggels but nothing else.
I have done some tests but all neg and all cheapy ones.

Does anyone else feel sick when they are due on at all, or even if they have been of the pill for over 2 months.

Im almost sure Im not sypmton spotting as me and dh talked about it and decided it was too soon (after we had done the deed) oops (not told him yet as it may et his hopes up)

Waiting2Exhale · 09/09/2008 11:09

Morning all....

I have to say, I agree with Yellowflower... this was the second time I tried grapefruit juice and there seems to be little if any EWCM both months. Usually get some and just wanted to up my chances and increase the amount but that doesn't seemed to have worked. Oh well.... got loads in this month (bding) so can only hope.

MintChocAddict As you can see everyone has had different results...there really doesn't appear to be any right answer....give it a try it may well work for you.

MrsMcJnr Am soooo knackered after my weekend of rumping that your right the break in lovely . Boo to the weather your getting at the moment... is it still bad today? Where abouts are you in Spain?

alfiemama welcome...lovely to see you join us.

2DPO at the mo... and really bored. All the excitement has ended with the pre-ovulation bding and now on that beginning stage of the boring 2ww where nothing really happenings until about 7-10 DPO when you start looking for an implantation dip if you temp.

Oh well...may disappear for a few days just so that they appear to go quicker... .

twoplease · 09/09/2008 14:52

Hi everyone,

you are all so good at remembering what the other posts say!!

not a lot going on here - in the 2ww like you Waiting (and others) but am in a wierd situation as I really think it is highly unlikely that I am pg this month because Hubby was ill between CD 11 and 14 and despite using OPKs have no real idea if and when I ovulated!! we shall see - anyway, it means that i am not obsessing this month - have a week to wait before AF due.

Anyone got any general basics tips for TTC that can improve chances? didn't have to try too hard with DC1 but proving a bit tricker this time round - just wondering if there are any obvious things we can be doing (other than the really obvious to improve our chances of conceiving

madmarriedNika · 09/09/2008 15:08

Good luck with the 2WW all of you... I find it so hard! Not even near ovulating yet so seems like aeons away before I'll be in a position to get excited!

The last 2 times we conceived straight away- but I was probably fitter then and possibly leaner too! So my tips would be moderate exercise & healthy eating (but not low carb)- and also we've always eaten quite a lot of oily fish which I'm sure I've read is meant to be good while TTC...

Many congrats to Febes!

Linwin · 09/09/2008 16:05

Febes congratulations on the BFP - exciting stuff.

Good luck to everyone else coming near the end of their cycle and testing times!

Although I am on CD14 I can sort of tell by CM that I'm nowhere near ovulation. Had the longest cycle ever last month and feel like its going to be another long one. I dont' think I'll even be thinking about testing until nearly October!!!

Not sure about the grapefruit juice but I guess if you can stomach drinking it, its worth a try.

littlemissmischief · 09/09/2008 19:07

Hey Alfiemama, nice too see you again, fingers crossed you get the BFP you want soon, I saw your other thread too and just thought id let you know mine range form 31 - 56 days and it took a month to get a positive with my ds so there is still hope

Well still no positive on the Ov sticks and on CD17 today so thinking its either wrong or its gonna be a long month! Think im gonna just BD every other night now anyway and then hopefully catch the ovulation no matter what the test says. Hopefully the sign of alot of cm is good. Think I wont be testing for a long time either Linwin so a bit about that.

Might try the grapefruit juice too have heard good things about it!

dinkyboysmum · 09/09/2008 19:50

well, back to cd3 here...have just booked in for two sesions of relexology nextw eek, heard it can help as cycle seems variable 36-46 days. also taking evening primrose oil and downing grapefruit juice like there's no tomorrow...this is SO going to be my cycle!!
positive vibes & baby dust to you all

littlemissmischief · 09/09/2008 20:15

Welcome dinkyboysmum, really hope this is your cycle along with the rest of us, loving your positivity - could you share some with me please

alfiemama · 09/09/2008 22:22

Hi littlemiss
Thanks you have given me some hope though, even tho we have decided to maybe wait for a little while until Alfie settles into school, I think if it was to happen the decision would be taken out of my hands, I suppose fate, daft I know.

Lots of baby dust and sticky beans to you all.

Congrats Febes

littlemissmischief · 10/09/2008 12:23

Alfiemama thats not daft I believe in fate I think if its meant to happen it will although I know that doesnt help when the BFN or AF turns up. I hope that whatever happens you are happy I know what you mean though, Im really worried this wont happen for us for ages (if at all) and ds will be just starting school and feel pushed out so I think now is a great time but it just wont happen for us

Really struggling with working with a pg person too, nobody knows we are trying so its no ones fault they keep going on but it is still difficult not to get annoyed! I know everyone wants me to get pg too tho and they think it will happen with a click of my fingers or something (little do they know).

Still havent got a positive on the Ov sticks and now on CD18 but BD last night anyway so fingers crossed this month will be the month, will be nice to announce it at christmas when im over 12 weeks

Sorry getting slightly ahead of myself there [gives herself a slap]
