Trying for a Baby part 5....

Evening everyone,

Congratulations oxclairexo! I am insanely jealous though :rotfl:

I am a bit confused tonight because I am on day 10 of a regular 24 day cycle and there appears to be no LH going on. In Feb and April (the only times I OPK'd) it was here by now.

My natural cycle was always 30/31 days until I came off the pill for the second time when it became for 24 for some reason. I asked the GP who said that was no issue but he asked if they were regular as then I was ovulating. Please don't let me have returned to the 30/31 days! _pale_ I get 3 extra chances per year on 24 days!!!

I'm sure it will be here tomorrow. It WILL be here tomorrow.

On another note I had to sign a card for someone in my office who has just had a baby, and smile adoringly at the pictures. I told myself just to get on with it, and it wasn't too bad, though I'd rather have been somewhere else.

With reference to my last post;

Do I trust those sticks and hold off on DTD? Or do I do it and risk tiring him out before the opportune moment! I know what the sensible answer is, I must wait another day. He can manage 3 days in a row but then gets grumpy:rotfl:

I know - I have one Clear Blue digital stick left. I'll check with that.

Good night all - sticky baby dust!

CD1:(

Looking back, I had what I didn't want to believe was ov, with what was unmistakably ewcm. I just didn't want to believe it as ov since OH was away, and last dtd was 6 days prior to 1st day of ewcm (it lasted 2 days), and he was coming back 4 days later:(

Moral of the story, ewcm is unmistakable, stretches miles. Luteal phase has not changed, and thermometer works fine even with air-conditioner;)

Quaver, are you the Quaver on BnB with the same avvy?

What!? There's someone there using my avatar and my username?:eek::D
There was Evansangel there too, with a cute photo of baby Lily:p

I'm not defecting, it's just that there's lots of members from US there, so I have company while you lot sleep;)

we had a wee barny lady night, well he did and I took the bait. I made amends and being a bloke it won't even affect him now but over-senstive FF is still upset by it. I'll get over it and hopefully by the time he gets home.

(((Hugs))). Don't get caught by his bait next time:p

do i need to wait until my first 'proper' period before i can start to use one? also, what do you do with it and what does it tell you?

You should wait 'till your first proper AF, but you could also use it as an glorified ov stick too now, and reset it if you get AF;)

It's good to have 30/31 day cycles, as you get decent luteal phase. Cycle of 24 days seems tad short.

CBFM is like a new stealth tax, seems compulsory if you want kids asap...

Ladies, this whole EWCM being stretchy thing.......

Possibly TMI, but - I don't think mine stretches... It does get creamy/thick and seems to be present mid-month, but I've never been able to stretch it. It does feel rather, um, gushy at some points and fairly sticky and I never really know whether to pick sticky, creamy or watery on Fertily Friend as it could be all 3 sometimes........ I only look in my pants.

I'm particularly bad at drinking enough liquid during the day - does dehydration have an effect on it?

Should I be 'concerned'? (Remember, I'm not yet TTC - just getting ready for Nov-ish when I hope to)
