    Hi everyone, sorry not been around, i have been busy, i started back at uni this week.

    I am on day 16 of my cycle and ff is saying that i haven't ovulated yet, i have discharge, but not egg white, yesterday and day before it was watery and today, its sticky. I have been getting pains, would someone be able to look at my chart please and tell me what you think, can you ovulate with out getting the egg white My Ovulation Chart

    Some people don't get ewcm - watery cm can be fertile too :)
    Looks like you might have had an ov dip, so I'd BD if I were you!
    Are your cycles usually regular - when do you normally ov?

    ((hugs)) to the three ladies with AF (I think it was Nicki, Elelyn, and 2ba3c) Sorry this month wasn't your month ladies :o

    At least AF arrived in time for you to go out drinking though 2ba3c! :o Better today than tomorrow (obv. not at all would be preferable!)

    All the stories about MCs are so sad, ((hugs)) to you all :( Makes me scared to get pg in case I MC too :o

    ((hugs)) rebekah, sorry you're feeling down. Don't know what to suggest RE your DH but I think you're wise to give yourselves a break next cycle. Getting stressed about it all won't help TTC and will just put a strain on your relationship with DH. You never know, NTNP might just do the trick :)

    Nothing to report from me as I am in the 2ww so I am trying to keep myself distracted! Had a nice day gardening today and popped round my friend's new house for a cuppa this avo. Lovely having this bonus bit of sunshine :)

    Hi everyone, back off my hols now!! What a fab week its been, we've been very lucky. How good was that weather!!!
    Lovely relaxing time in the beautiful countryside! I was a bit unprepared with my choice of clothing though - packed for lots of cold but cosy nights infront of a roaring log fire - no such luck!!

    As for ttc I should probably be ashamed of myself as have eaten lots of naughty foods and drank far too much all week (scrumpy cider is so refreshing in the sunshine!). :beer:
    My OH insisted that we bring a carfull home with us so I will be trying to avoid that now we are back!

    I am due to be testing in a few days but I think I can feel AF coming on - it could also be me feeling unsettled due to the overeating/heat etc but I have a feeling its my normal AF symptoms setting in ready for the next few days.

    Will keep an open mind but seeing as I have ignored the possibility and drank like theres no tomorrow it would only be fair for AF to come along as normal. :doh:

    Hope everyone here is well? Have I missed anything exciting?
    I have skimmed the last few pages but theres so much to catch up on, will have to try and read back over the next couple of days. :)

    Last cycle on ovulated on day 9, which is unsual for me, think it was because i had just stopped taking the mini pill. Normally my cycles are 28 to 32 days. When i got pregnant with my little boy, it was my first month of tempting and it said i ovulated on day 17, but i think it was more like day 14. Last cycle i got ewcm.

    Hi All - Had a very emotioanl 24 hours! Spent more time on the edge of tears than not! Been trying to go for the SMEP this month and failing big time at the doing it every day bit! Last night was cd 12 and the start of every day for us. Bed time came and he didnt want too as was too tierd. As I can sometimes ov on cd 13 I was most keen to get a topping up on last night and today.Looking back on it now it seems stupid but I got really upset and angry. He went to keep and I laid there for hours just mulling things over and working myself up. Looking back at the previous months when we have only done it once or twice and not been sucessful and feeling annoyed at not getting more in. And at that rate I would never get pregnant. Fast forward to morning and he suggested we have sex before going to town. So I was most keen and said yes. I went upstairs and I waited ... and I waited ... and waited. He had been on his laptop so thought he was finishing something off. 30 mins past and I said arn't you coming then? And he said coming for what. That just made me blow my top. Not only does he suggest sex but he forgets?! to come up for sex?! When does a man forget!! I was so angry he got naked and got on the bed and I just got dressed and stormed off downstairs. So I was feeling really emotional and trying not to cry too much. First he doesn't want it and then he "forgets" - Really made me feel great thanks!To cut a long story short we eventually had some this afternoon but he was barely in the door before he came again. I felt most of it run out. Whatta waste after all that hastle to get it in the 1st place. Sigh. This game is too emotional for me i'm taking next month off. The pressure I put on us and the timing etc is immense and just not worth it.

    Sounds like you had a bad 24 hours. Hugs.
    Hope you can try and relax and see what happens. I know exactly what you mean about the pressure.

    TMI: My OH does not produce much "love juice" during sex, so we have been using lubrication since we started having sex. This month no lube, just incase it affects sperm. Just saliva to help. Now I have become a bit sore and slightly bleeding. I am just about to OV as well.
    What should I do to stop the soreness without affecting the sperm? It is not painful but is slightly sore.

    I considered using preseed but by the time it arrives I will have gone past OV. If no joy this month then I will try it next.

    Oh and welcome jellybean

    Not sure about saliva killing sperm if it mixes with my juices. Anyone know?

    Otherwise I am going to be out of baby making this month then until I get preseed delivered for next month.

    Boots sell conceive, so I might call and get some of that tomorrow.

    Oh honey I know what you mean. Ever since me and hubby got married I suffered from vaginismus. Horrid condition. I could not have pain free sex - The pain at times I had to breath through and it shouldn't be like that!:eek: It was partly due to my fear of sex and the rumours of it being painful so I tensed up and partly due to being on the pill! I had next to no lubrication whatsoever so the friction was mad. But by the time I had sorted out this issue I had then built up a fear that every time we did it - it would hurt bad and the tensing cycle just kept on going. Actually I dunno why i'm telling you this when it's not your problem lol. But once I came off the pill and my natural wet came back I was so glad. Guess I just wanna say I hear you and feel for you on the sore part! I have just brought pre seed from ebay and it came 2 days after I ordered. If your desperate to be quick I would get some of this: http://www.boots.com/en/Sasmar-Conceive-Plus-pre-conception-lubricant-75ml_981288/
