Trying for a Baby Part 9

Becca if you don't normally get ewcm I would try taking cough syrup or evening primrose or whatever it is that helps with that, & being really hydrated, because I've heard clomid can have the bad side effect of stopping or lessening ewcm/wet fertile fluid which you need for the spermies to live in so to make sure it doesn't cancel it out sort of thing. I've seen quite a lot of ladies talking about it on various fertility sites. I would think even just upping your water intake could help.

Trafford Centre is just guaranteed to make you broody, sooo many cute babies and baby stuff displays! Good job DH doesn't like going in them stores, otherwise I may already have a pile of baby stuff lol

Thanks Claire. I drink loads of water. Don't want to take epo with clomid (not sure on effects) but might try cough medicine. We use conceive plus, that should be ok??

Does anyone have any idea why EWCM just !!!!!!s off? I haven't had much for about 4/5 cycles compared to what I used to have and it only seems to happen after ovulation.

I've heard about the cough medicine so I think I'll try that from tomorrow as I've got my HSG tomorrow and my 'green days' have just appeared in my DUO graph starting on Thursday 7th so a couple of days of cough medicine might make a bit of a difference to the EWCM (maybe...).

Am nervous about tomorrow.. :eek:

becca... how do you find conceive plus? (not wanting graphic details- lol) Just wondering if you've tried the tube and the applicators and which is easiest to use? Was thinking of getting some but keeping OH in the dark about it (if possible) to see if it helped as my EWCM has disappeared..

I've done both... Used applicator & not told DH but now we use the tube & find it really good. DH often asks me where the 'stuff' is!!

Ooo and you don't need a lot! It's lasted us months!

Hi all, hope you are having a great Sunday so far.

I'm now on CD23 which is unheard of for me - normaly AF pays me a visit from CD15/16 for about 5 days and then back to square one.

Am wondering whether my body is playing tricks on me by just getting back to a more normal length of cycle....but I can't help but think that perhaps I should maybe do a test as I'm now 1 week "late".

Hubaroo thinks that it's just my body getting back to normal after so many years on the pill and injection but I can't help but get a bit hopeful.

The CBFM is still saying I'm high and has done for 8 days now and that I've not OV'd yet but as it's the first month of using it, I guess it's still getting to know my very strange cycles.

Hugs to all you lovely ladies on CD1.

Love Gelly

Sounds good Becca!

I bought some conceive plus just haven't got round to using it yet. Might try it this cycle as I tend to get ewcm a couple of days before ov so would be good to use it on actual ov.
