    Big hugs code. Maybe you could tell them you're egg-bound!

    I'm not sure on my lp as I've had no clear signs of ovulation from either OPKs or temping. I'm hoping the CBFM will help me out on this front.

    I had a very interesting chat with my best friend this weekend re TTc. She has a 3 year old that she fell accidentally pg with - she was not taking the pill correctly. I had held out on telling her we were TTC because I don't want to answer questions every month, and my husband asked me not to tell anyone (same reasons for him, plus he is very private). So we talked it through and I explained to her the whole concept of ovulation and EWCM.

    She was flabbergasted. I genuinely think our chat will prevent her from having another accident!


    Ewcm is usually a good indicator for me. I check around my cervix and I count 0dpo as the day my cm dries up. Don't know if this will help you but it's a good indicator for me.

    Not sure if you get it on the pill though. It's been so long I can't remember.

    She told me she gets a ton of EWCM, and she didn't know what it was before I explained. TBF - I didn't know either until I embarked on this journey.
    I think my reliance on hay fever tablets (I usually take 1 every single day) has had an effect on my EWCM. That, or I am dead inside!

    Perhaps your body is just taking a wee bit longer to get rid of the pill.

    Hey all, sorry I've been a bit quiet, nothing much to report really.

    CD4 here, yet another month where I convinced myself I must be pg because x y z ....and no. Grr.

    Huge hugs going out to loads of you, and congrats to all the bfp's! I have been reading all your posts but just lurking a bit.

    Unfortunately anti-histamines do dry up everything, not just the things they're supposed to! Not recommended when you're TTC as they have such an effect on EWCM.
