[sarahkr]

Haha, ahh thanks hun although you should really do your coursework xx

ahh plenty of time for course work, just been on the phone for 2 hrs gonna get me book out now, catch ya in a bit xxxx

this is studying, and it is kind of psychology right, looking at my book, your chart is completely the same as one of the charts in here, except their days are different, you should have started bding every other day from cd8-cd13 as that is when you have ovulated so cd14,cd15 everyday, then it will slowly increase, which it is doin, so your bob on xxxxxxx

Ahh good stuff, thanks hun, I'll BD tonight just to cover my bases!!
I try not to BD too soon after AF as I tend to get thrush after too much BDing x

Currently on CD15 should be O on CD16

Had EWCM since Monday and we had DTD tuesday morning CD14

Should that be enough or should we get back on it again before CD16 which is tomorrow?

The online calculations suggest from Monday to Friday this week she's going to be fertile but Thursday is Ovulation day.

We DTD Saturday, Sunday Tuesday and its now Wednesday... is this a day off or a dtd day?

yeah, day off today, they say every other cos it helps build the sperm up, but thats a tricky one, is it a deffo peak tomoz? and would you be able to dtd in the am? or do you work? etc? xxxxxxx

From the Ovulation Calculators most have said Thursday.We dtd Tuesday morning so we could do it either tonight or tomorrow and elevate afterwards. I work yeah

then, i would dtd first thing and then before bed tomoz and then same on friday ? or is that too much for you with work? whats your cm like now? sorry to ask

I am indeed! CD1 was 3rd April. Bleeding stopped Saturday 6th. she was exactly 29 days long last month and the month before. She hasn't been on the pill for over 6 months.

Nice to meet you too I thought CD1 would be 3rd April as she started her bleed then? Are you saying she ovulated on Monday 15th? We done it Thursday, Saturday and Sunday also Tuesday Morning.

yep my mistake sorry, sunday would be ovulation day, so your spot on with the timing, as your due to ovulate, dtd every other, before you ov, her cm would have become slimy like, which allows the sperm to get up there, then it goes sticky to keep hold of the egg, you with me? so it was sticky mon, tues, now back to probably watery yeah? your cm can tell you alot more than a stick..... for example they say use the mornin pee, but that doesnt always work, you may get your lh in the afternoon, so what i do is buy cheap opks off ebay to test in the afternoon around ovulation time as clearblue are bloody expensive, and you can get 30 of the cheapies for a few quid, so its just better doing an afternoon one, make sure she notes all this down just in case you didnt catch her this time, for next time. if your trackin the cm get her some evening primrose oil from asda, it helps alot with the cm but i'd say yeah, you had every base covered, the horrible tww now xx

Wow you're telling me this yet our Apps and online calculators all seem to say she should been OV on Thursday but fertile between Monday and Friday. So I'm right in saying now that her ov has passed and the ov tests are useless as they all gave us on saturday and monday a negative. We never tested on Sunday

well i dont know where theyre gettin that from, i had a thirty day cycle, so i'm due to ovulate on cd13..... most of the predictors go off a 28 day cycle and they always say your due to ovulate cd14, which aint true.... yeah, if you did 1 on friday, you would have probably seen your lh surge, but also remember you dont ovulate every month, keep that in mind too, when it gets your lh it gives you a window of 12-36hrs thats when you need to be doing the as the sperm can live longer when your cm changes, cm has acid in it to kill off nasty germs, so when your lh is detected it changes in consistancy not to kill of the lil and your fallopean tube acts like a hand to grab the sperm ready to make a baby.... if you still feel like your oh is still fertile, keep dtd every other if it puts your mind at ease xxx
