Trying for a Baby part 5....

BFN but what I expected. Does the second line show as quick as the first coz I don't have the patience!

Sorry for your BFN GFH...maybe next month for us. x

I've just sent my bronze pietra back. Wore them loads on hol and they started to come away from the sole. Got all my money back from Boots.com so very impressed as it was free returns (very MSE). They worked in the first day or so I wore them then I must have got used to them as I never ached again! Will maybe buy another pair or wait til the sales for next year.

For me, DH says go to doc and ask about vit b. I am thinking to stop taking it as at the moment I've spotted for 12 days plus. Although it's heavier now it's still only enough for a tampax lite...not even regular.

((hugs)) GFH, if its really a proper BFN for this month I hope silly AF turfs up shortly so you can get started with next month. Are your cycle lengths pretty much regular each month? Are your symptoms still kicking around? Are they pretty similiar to your normal AF symptoms? You never know, she might steer clear for you and you and a test in a while might give you that BFP .

I'm CD26 and my previous cycles have been 30, 27, 30 (didn't count before that as I was still on the pill). So I've been working on my average of 29 but it could easily be wrong as its still early days.

Can someone please remind me what is suggested to increase (or actually get in my case!) EWCM?

Also, is there any particular food I should be aiming (or avoiding) to scoff to help with all of this? DH and I aren't trying as such, we've just stopped avoiding so this is why I've not got involved with ov testing yet. October is my start date to get a bit more technical although I'd be over the moon if it happens before then. Maybe I should be on a NTTAGP (not trying to avoid getting preg) thread until then .

We have a weekend of glorious weather ahead where I am but I'm stuck indoors with computer work. and DH is working. Hopefully our heat wave summer will be a long one! I hope you all get to enjoy the weekend and I'm looking forward to hearing about the next BFP.

Bad luck, fanta. Do you think the vitamin B is causing the spotting then?

eta doglover thanks. Its normally 27 days, as to symptoms, I never take that much notice, except normally get the nesting instinct before AF. Haven't had it yet CBA frankly, but its the end of term and all us chalks are knackered, so that could be why. Could be not back to normal after m/c

As to EWCM its some cough medicine or other, I would be worried about potential effects on the developing foetus though. Dehydration reduces it, and you may be dehydrated in the heat, so lots of water?

GFH well spotted on the bargain! I'm pleased to hear that I wasn't the only one who didn't realise tests could be bought so cheaply.

Fanta ((hugs)) to you too. It would probably be best to check with the doc. They may say its right and this first month is just you adjusting or they may have a different suggestion? Worth a quick appointment if you can.

August will hopefull be full of happy BFPs (after lots in July too ).

Phunkles I hope you're feeling a bit brighter and re-energised today

I think it's preventing proper AF. Think I'm gonna just stick to Pregnacare. I think the spotting is AF but just not heavy. Longest I've gone is 36 days cycle and I'm at 32 now. Time to let body do her thing now rather than force things to delay. It does what it does and I think I should leave it at that.:p

Thank you, perhaps I'll just keep as I am for now and once I get more technical in Oct I can speak to the doc if it's still a no show on the EWCM front.

I like that - "chalks" . Hopefully the summer holidays will allow you to relax and recouperate a bit and enjoy some BDing .

QQ is your actual expert on this, but I'm not sure if she is spending more time on the trying for 12 months plus board.

Still no sign of AF, grrr.

According to my chart, my last lot of EWCM was 11 days ago, so if i go by that im 11dpo.
I will retest on Sunday, then again on Tuesday i think.

Thats if a certain AF doesn't rear her ugly head.

I get all my opks and hpts from ebay, from this person: LINK

Never had any problems, and they've always came very quickly and discreetly

Thanks for that, EA. Good luck for tomorrow.
