    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.
    I think dehydration affects it. I heard having Robitussin(cough syrup) will thin down your cm. Never tried it though;)

    10ml 4 times a day.

    Mine stretched about 15cm. How I chose to ignore this as fertile cm is beyond me:D

    I have an appointment with the fertility specialist on 9th June, but since that is ages away, I have devised a plan of my own in the meantime:

    My ttc plan for this cycle

    CD3 Take 3 Soya isoflavones tablets (It is natural alternative to clomid)
    CD4 ''
    CD5 ''
    CD6 ''
    CD7 ''
    CD8 Take Robitussin and drink lots of water until ov:cool:

    How's this?
    Hopefully I'll ov CD13 - 17.

    I know OH has 2 work trips, and one will definitely be at the end of my ov period, I know he is here on CD12 for sure, so fingers crossed we'll catch the egg (need fertile cm). Otherwise, it's July/Aug.

    Better eggs are produced if I take Soya on CD5 - 9, but since I had temp drop and spotting 2 days prior to CD1, I thought CD3 might possibly be also CD5.

    CD 26 for me. Have decided to test 29th May if no signs of AF - we're away that evening until 1st June and so I won't be able to wait that long...

    Still have sore throat and feeling tired. I'm not craving sugary snacks yet though, which is a sure sign that AF is on her way.

    QQ Sorry AF got you. You have CBFM now though so hopefully we'll have a QQ babbee soon :D

    Fear is temporary, regret is forever.....

    If you see bogof of Superdrug tests, you should stock up and take some with you;)

    Af & Pg has exactly same symptoms, fingers crossed it's not AF:)

    I'd love to conceive in June. That's when I did last year - (mc in Aug).
    Perhaps it might work this time round. Same due date would be awesome, or would it be weird?

    I have 3 tests from Superdrug already (only the cheapies but if I get 2 blue lines then I'll get one of the ones that have a date on too!) I won't be taking any with me as we're off with backpacks to Austria for the weekend so the less I have to carry the better. I'm trying not to get too excited - DH wanted us to do one last night when I told him a sore throat can be a symptom, but I'd rather wait for the main symptom (late AF) and then start getting excited instead of setting us up for a fall before she's even late (IYKWIM)

    The same due date would be cool. I reckon there'll be loads of babies conceived in June/July, what with all the celebratory World Cup bonking going on...!!!

    Had a Lost night last night. 3 episodes back to back. Nice night with DH but too tired to do anything. Have updated FF charts and it reckons I will OV on Sat which works out for me. Have BD on CD14, planning to on CD18 as it's DH birthday should OV CD19/20 or 21 and we're away from Sunday so fingers crossed. From now on I need to maintain the Stepford Wife image I am portraying!

    SBTA x ps I understand the jealous bit of 3rd BFP...I know this is the place where we are all happy for everybody but my heart does a wee sink when I read it then I re-adjust and plan mine! :)

    I'm not keen on football, but DH may want to watch few matches.
    But I have it covered. I am planning on watching it on TV, but with laptop on my lap:cool:
    I can multi-task:D (Or rather, pretend to watch).

    Good luck, let the CBFM do its magic:j

    Who is our next non-CBFM BFP?
    And who's the 4th CBFM BFP of the month?
