Sorry if I'm being thick but can I've heard monitoring your CM is a sign of fertility. Can someone explain what ti is and when I should expect to see it in my cycle. I'm due my AF any day now but on mon and tues this week I had some reddish marks which I assumed were a sign that my AF was due, could it be something else?

Yep monitoring CM for signs of fertility is helpful:) heres a link for more explanation...the chart is easy to understand too:cool:
Reddish marks could be spotting, meaning AF is on the way however, depending where you are in your cycle could also mean implantation bleeding, heres another link to explain that further:D

Monitoring your CM is easy if you're not squeamish

During an "average" 28 day cycle, ov should occur at CD12-14. Just before you ov your body produced CM which looks like egg white. It should be thick and stretchy if you pull it between your fingers. This is what we mean by EWCM.

Quick post - got loads to do today and really need to get moving.

Nothing much happening TTC wise CD20 (27 day cycle so a week to go!) so fingers crossed. Having a major declutter in the house - one of my new yrs resolutions so loads to chuck out before DH gets home.

Hello to any newbies I've missed and hugs if anyone needs them.

Hopefully a better post later xxx

OK, so I'm going to put my ten penneth worth in on the oldies/newbies thing.

I'm now way past 12 months ttc (almost 2 years:eek:), but I do not feel confident going onto the 12month+ ttc as I feel they are more specialised with IVF etc.

I do not know if I have ever even been pregnant, as I have never had a positive pregnancy test, I could be one of these people who gets pregnant then loses it before I get a BFP.

I know 99.9% of OH and my problems with conceiving is due to my weight and I'm trying my very hardest to lose it. I spent 20 minutes dancing around my flat this morning with my iPod on shuffle and I was absolutely knackered!

Fuzz, you are a darling:kisses3:, but I am sure there are people that deserve their BFP that need to be further up the list than me.:T

Everyone is welcome here, people who have just started TTC to us "old timers" and I don't want people who pop in to think that we are "cliquey". Yes I am jealous when people come in and seem to get pregnant at the drop of a hat, but then I think that they could have been struggling behind the scenes for as long as I have and I think how great it is that they're having a baby. :T:T

There are teenagers/younger people in this country who give birth to babies who never even wanted them in the first place and I know there are many women (and men) in the country who would give their right arm to just enjoy being pregnant and giving life to their own child, I know I would!

Sorry for the rant!:o:o (I'll go back to my cupboard now, wheel me out when it's lunchtime;))

Fuzz, what on earth is a PTFO???? Sounds painful! Sorry you didn't get in your last BD but fingers crossed eh? As we keep saying, it only takes once :kisses3:

I need a hug please. I doubt there'll be ANY chance of BD tonight - the boilers broken down and I can't fix it. It's currently 14 degrees in here and dropping quickly.

I'm currently reading up on condensate pipework with not a clue what or where that is, let alone how to fix it!!! We have a real fire, but we've no coal as the garage sold out last week and DH only cut enough wood for last nights fire :rolleyes:

Oh and the cat just threw up on the bed so I have that to clean up in a minute too (with no hot water)

Yayy for snow days :rolleyes:

Ok, so please can the lucky ladies who have had their BFPs tell us what they did that particular month different to what they usually did. What do you think helped to get the BFP?

Many thanks

Hi Sam. Hope you are well and have got your holiday sorted. Sorry to hear about your job did you get anything sorted out?

On the TTC front In the month that we concieved. I used the first response OV kit where you POAS each day from the last day of your AF when you get two lines it means your are OVing in the next 24/36 hour window, from that day we BD's each day sometimes twice a day for the following 7 days.

I still have no SS and do not "feel" PG and i am still doing tests just to tell myself I am. It is such a wierd thing I have never been so happy & terrified in my life. I have my first MW appointment on Friday next week I will be 8 weeks then.

Sending all you amazing beautiful ladies PMA & lots of sticky beans :A

obviously there's medical/age issues that can tip you into the longer side, but those statistics wouldn't exist if there was a magical pill to take.
I'm in my 10th cycle, I've taken (daily) agnus castus, baby aspirin, 100mg B6, my prenatal vitamin, had my progesterone checked, had my std swabs, my rubella bloods, taken my temperature daily , checked my cervix position daily , checked my cervical mucus, used OV sticks, used a cbfm, bd every single day I may be fertile sometimes :eek:............and yet, nada, zip,, nothing, not even a chemical pregnancy.

Now I'm still on my prenatal vit and B6 but everything else (including hpts) have gone in a box in the loft so I'm not even tempted. It becomes an obsession when all we have to do is wait and that is the killer....

What is baby aspirin???

Hi all!

Well this morning I started using a BBT and my first reading was for 97.73 - is that about right?

I thought maybe that was a little high as the chart only goes up to 97.9.

I'm on CD6 with AF finishing yesterday.

Thanks in advance
