Bright new month, bright new cycle! Everyone's welcome!

[wintergirl]

hey!

waiting - that brilliant news about Ovulating early! get stuck in

I think i ovulate next weekend but then again im not sure, it depends on whether i have another 30 day cycle or not... in which case it may be a couple of days after the weekend! hope it is the weekend tho, seems to easiest time to do the BD! lol

prepping - you are almost in your fertile period too! good luck hun!

doopers - i think you are right behind me!

how is everyone?

 

[doopersgurl]

im ok thanks booked our holiday today so we got something to help take our mind off symptom spotting when my time come lol how are you???

 

[wintergirl]

ooh where you off on holiday doopers? im sure it will take your mind off things!

as for me, ive had an abundance of really thick, cloudy stretchy CM today it confused me a bit but i googled it and read that i can occur up to a week before ovulation, so i guess that is good, i cant remember having that much all the other times, so hopefully I wont be a dry down there during the big O (sorry if tmi) and i will have plentiful EWCM!! The more i read about it the more it seems like one of the most crucial elements in conceiving...... waiting, prepping - of you dont mind me asking - how is yours? as i know both of you are almost upon ovulation. waiting - have you O'd yet?

i feel positive that you will get your BFP's this month!

I start my new job tomorrow! so been doing lots of washing etc in preparation! im a bit nervous tho, but excited at the same time!! not sure what im going to wear yet!

Well... Looks like it's that time of the month for me got my smiley this am! First opk I've taken this month, but wouldn't doubt that I would have gotten one last night had I tested. This should be a shorter cycle for me too given an early + opk. Doing a good job so far keeping my mind off babymaking . Just having fun with it.

Hope this month is going as good for you all.
Droopers, have fun on your vacay!! I sure did and this is turning out to be a good month so far.

Wish me luck in the next few days... I could use it!
And to you all!

Morning all!!

Doopers - where are you going on holiday to? I love holidays - planning that is a fantastic way to try and stop symptom spotting and stressing about TTC too!

Winter - You know its never TMI with us I started getting EWCM about 3 days before the day I got my positive opk. I took another OPK yesterday and it was very faint again so I am really hoping that meant I ovulated on Sat. It can be hard though to distinguish between ahem "leftovers" and CM. That tends to be more cloudly almost opaque in colour. Apparently its all about how stretchy it is, you can also do the water test to find out for sure if you want.

Hoping that I am 2dpo today, still waiting for crosshairs on my chart, my temp did go up yesterday but I never put too much faith in weekend ones as so many factors are different for me then.

Summer - congrats on the + opk, go and get a bunch of BDing in Good Luck!!!!!! I cant wait till we are all in the TWW

Prepping - how are you? I know you are on a long weekend so not sure when you will check in again. Hope you have been DTD heaps with no more stamina man

hi ladies we are off to Egypt for a week so excited cant wait we leave on 14th oct yeah it will take my mind off everything....another month to try c'mon
good luck hunni's
big hugs

 

[waiting2c]

Oooh doopers Egypt sounds awesome!! That will be great fun for you!

FF gave me crosshairs today, so according to that I ovulated on Saturday and am 3dpo today.... im not entirely convinced on it but we will see. So so so so so hope this cycle the the one!! Now for the long TWW!

Prepping - how you doing, have you ovulated yet?

 

[prepping]

waiting, Are you already in the 2WW?! hope you had lots and lots of romps in the last few days!!! I'm not super familiar with charting at all, around what day would you generally find an implantation dip? I SO hope that this cycle is the one for you!!

winter, How was your first day at the job?? I think it's great that you're already getting lots of CM happening, even if it is earlier. Just keep going at it just in case! For me, CM is still a bit of a mystery. Last month I was getting what I thought was ewcm for 3 days before I thought I may have O'd (CD10-12). I was completely dry on CD13, and then got a crazy amount out of nowhere on CD14. I had the perfect 28 day cycle last month so it made me think that I actually may have O'd on CD14 afterall (and I hadn't BD on either CD13 or 14). As for this month, today I am CD12 and had a bit of EWCM yesterday and a little bit more today. So I'm thinking that I should O in the next 2 days. I'm waiting for the crazy amount like what happened last month to see if I have a pattern.
Man, I never would have guessed there would be a time in my life where I would have such a huge focus on analyzing body fluid.

dooper, Egypt sounds awesome! And yes, that's a great way to distract yourself from the 2WW! When is it you think you'll be Ov'ing?

summer, so have you been jumping your OH lots in the last couple days?? I'm sending you out buckets of dust!

As for me, I was a little disappointed last night as DH was passed out before we could even think of getting a little BDing in. And he didn't sleep well until around 4am (think it's because of the allergies) so was not exactly up for any morning boinks. boo. He promised that there would be some ravaging tonight so hopefully we'll make up for it. It's CD13... we're cutting it close! I'm tempted to tonight, Wed morning, Wed evening, Thurs morning, and Fri morning just for good measure. I know they say to go for once a day, but I don't want to miss our window! We're bound to have some more fun on Sat/Sun due to the wedding out of town, so I'm not concerned if I happen to O later than expected. All I need is one tiny little . That's not too much to ask, is it?

 

[waiting2c]

Hey Prepping!
Yup I am 4dpo today, according to FF, and I agree with it now so all good. Trying hard not to physche myself out with everythign that I feel! Have been quite crampy since ) day but that could just be O pains still. I dont think everyone gets an implantation dip, not really sure, learning as I go lol. My chart is in my siggy so you can take a looksee.

Im not sure that doing it twice a day will increase your odds, although I could be wrong I am certainly no expert! I just read somewhere that if you do it too often the quality of his sperm is diminished as they dont mature enough. Also vice versa if you do it too infrequently it is dimished as they are too old. I would just go for once a day during O period

Winter - how is new job going? You finding your feet okay? You must be nearing O day too??

Summer - are you now in the TWW?

Doopers - How is your week going? Planning a holiday is always so super exciting!

 

[jchic]

hi ladies we are off to Egypt for a week so excited cant wait we leave on 14th oct yeah it will take my mind off everything....another month to try c'mon
good luck hunni's
big hugs

OHHH, funnnn! We leave for Italy the exact same day!

 

[prepping]

Waiting, I've read the same on quality sperm. hmmm... okay well we'll see how it goes then -- I'm not much of a morning person anyway. Good news though! I for sure have ewcm today! yay! super stretchy!
So you're 4dpo now? Try not to go too crazy looking for stuff (I'm know, I'm not one to talk!). Heck, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't believe I've O'd yet, I would start thinking there was a chance even right now!

jchic, Getting ready for a big vaca away is a great distraction!! Lucky girls. You're right there around the same time as the rest of us for cycles too! neat!

 

[summer2011]

Lol. Yes prepping, lots of so far!! Trying to keep dh going for the next couple days just in case Sounds like O day is close for you so get to lol.

Waiting... I think I'm prob 1 or 2 dpo, but not sure cause I'm not temping this month. Did opk's and got + yesterday and day before sooooo.... Hopefully....

 

[waiting2c]

Oooh exciting Summer! Now comes the waiting part lol!

Prepping - yay for ewcm today!! Make sure you get in a good BD at some point then ;-)

Im trying to not to overthink it all, but it is sooo hard! Figure I have at least another week to wait before I would get any sympoms anyway so will just focus on other things... going to the dress rehersal of the opening ceremony for the Rugby world cup tonight... we live close to the stadium and will be really inconvienced by it all so got free tickets Should be a good night.

I can use the distraction because I seriously am beyond ANTSY to test, ha ha.

summer, Yep, can't let the OH take time off just quite yet! For us, I'm going to keep him going until Sunday. LoL Luckily, I'm sure DH still has it in him for a few more before the weekend and then we're away at a hotel for the wedding so it'll be easy enough to have a couple romps then too. I've got it covered this month from CD8 to CD17.

waiting, the rugby opener sounds fun!

dooper, wow your family gets around. Too bad you're not out there with them! Good thing your OH will be back for O time. That'd be really annoying otherwise!

jchic, how long have you been trying? At 1dpo, yep you have a bit of time before testing.

CM is definitely still a mystery. If I were to go by hormones alone, then it seems like I'm around O time though. Nothing special happening beyond that! Hope everyone's enjoying their day!

How long have you been ttc?

yeh i am glad he will be back

 

[prepping]

jchic, This is our 4th month but the first 2 didn't really count for us either. We weren't exactly trying at the right times due to me being out of town. TTC is a tricky thing! btw, your siggy says you're "Married October 29, 2011"... but is that you in the wedding pic? Just curious

If it wasn't for having these girls on here, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. Not saying the process isn't fun... but the time in between it's nice to have people to obsess with who 'get it'.
