Trying For a Baby II

scotsgirl_3

I don't think mine know how long they are! I've been on the pill from 18-22, and they were never very regular before hand. First one off pill was 32 days but I'm not sure if I ov'd, and this one looks like I ov'd on day 26 which would mean I'm heading for about 40 days ish I think? Not as bad as yours but still seems painfully long, especially as I thought I was much further into the 2ww than I actually am!

CM - cervical mucus ( I only have to mention this to grose my hubby out!)
Others that pop up all the time:
dpo - days post ovulation
bfp/bfn - big fat positive/negative (test results)
OPK - ovulation predictor kit

there are loads more, i think there is a guide somewhere!

if you want to freak him out completely try discussing the different textures, lol! My best mate is a nurse so the pair of us have had lots of fun with this!

Oh - EWCM - egg white cervical mucus!

Welcome to try4bambino:D We'll help you out as much as possible and any questions just fire away:D
Sorry to hear about your MIL:rolleyes: and really sorry to hear about your Mum:(
I think Nunny posted a link for abbvs yesterday...will try and find it:D

Wow lots of newbies lately, must be the summer air getting you all frisky:rotfl:

Tinks in my experience the sooner you know your cycle length the better;) I was really lucky with mine started at about 32ish then went to 29:T Had a mc last month and now back to square 1!!!!:mad:

Afternoon everyone, hope we're all well.

Try4bambino, I posted a site with abbreviations earlier today, I think it's ^^^ here lol!! Talk about psychic confuzzled!!!

Just to let you all know, I'm not testing on Friday, thats just the day AF is due, but like I've posted before, I don't think I'm pg this month so there's no point in wasting money on tests until I'm a week late

try4bambino

thanks, love the name confuzzled..i swear i am that pretty much all of the time!

so much info to take in.. i will read back as have to catch up today and find all the abbreviations...

sorry about mc....best of luck this time...

i have had variations in my cycle so not sure what is normal / average for me yet.. started a diary 3 months ago.. had 32 days first, then 28 and last month 26..? i got that clear blue fertilty monitor and did that the last month and OV ( i think that is it!) on day 12, i am up to day 28 today...so i guess i am all over the place!!

Yup I'm confuzzled most of the time too, esp. since ttc!
Hopefully your cycles will settle down soon, will make everything much easier!
