Hey girls! I'm really confused right now...sorry if tmi but I've been having ewcm for the past 2 days, based on a 35 day cycle which is the average for me, I would be ovulating tomorrow, today I've noticed even more ewcm, how many days before ov do you notice it?? I don't know if it's normal to have it more than 2 days, I really hope tomorrow is the day...so nervous!

I have it for sometimes as much as a week before ov

Re the OPK's, I would deffo order them in if not for this month then for next.

I know they're a bit more expensive but I would STRONGLY recommend these:

You can use your first morning urine and there is absolutely no "is this line darker than yesterdays", you just wait for it to smile at you and when it does, ensure that you have had or are getting donations

Hi Mummylou, you need to record the temp that was closest to your normal time of temping and which you took after 3 consecutive hours of sleep, hope that helps.

Hi ladies. Today we have tried to return to life a bit. DW is still resting and taking it easy. She is set up with video games, movies, and a computer to all entertain her right from the couch and I am working from my home office. I feel a little bit like I am flying on auto pilot. I am not feeling very connected to my work or the interactions I am having. I'm just kind of going through the motions. I guess we can only do what we are capable of. I'm doing the best that I can and trying to care for DW the best way I know how. I feel so ineffective though. Just scattered and unorganized even in my thoughts. I wonder when I will feel "plugged in " to the day to day again?

 

[Mummylou23]

hi Leah its good to see you I am glad you and your DW are feeling a bit better xxx i KNOW what you mean about auto pilot thing I have been there xx

 

[Layla]

Thanks for checking in with us Leah. I've been thinking of you and your DW often. Grief takes time. Feeling disconnected is common. Try to give yourself set aside time to feel your feelings, whatever comes up, and also try to stick to your routines... eating, showering, exercising, etc. the best you are able. Routine can provide great comfort in times of stress.

We are all here for you both in whatever way you need us to be.
