Yeah... that would be great. Sadly fertile CM showed up on Tuesday and DH is away from Sunday night to Friday night. So really I guess I am asking, would it take a miracle for me to get pregnant this month, or is Friday still in the zone? By your post, it sounds like it's borderline possible / miracle.

Another BFN month rolls by, and I haven't even started the ttw yet. How is that?!

I could never find fertile CM. I always temp to know my fertile days.

Kikiboy just wanted to let you know that i'm thinkin about you. I pray that you don't have any more problems and that you'll see your BFP very soon.

Thanks Maharg - i get occasional hot flushes but more so when i'm sleepin i just get roasting!!!

With regards to CM it might be best to temp along side as lots of things can sometimes effect CM. I don't know whether you take any medication or whatever but that can affect it too.

GUESS WHAT!!! I'M GOING TO BE A GODMUMMY TODAY AT SOME POINT (maybe tomorrow mornin!) MY BEST FRIEND WATER'S BROKE AT 5.15am!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Love Jxx

Congratulations!! That is exciting!!


I got a faint line on my OPK yesterday afternoon, so should be getting a positive today or tomorrow - Everything works like clockwork for me - always on the same cycle day... and the doctor says nothing is wrong with us- so I can't imagine why nothing has worked so far - I hope it does this time, though! If not, it will be Clomid for me next month!

annaapple, if fertile cm showed for me on a Tuesday, my most fertile day would probably be Saturday or Sunday, so don't give up hope! My first was conceived the day after I ovulated actually too... I had midcycle spotting, thought I wasn't ovulating but having af, and we didn't bd, until my temp went up and we bd'd the evening after. I was sure we'd missed it... cm was barely left.
Cm often stays around 5 days or so. Prayer for you!

Hi annaapple,

About CM...From 'The Billings Method'

Fertile signs may begin more than five days before the peak (the average is six days beforehand). It is impossible to predict in any cycle just when ovulation will occur.

I don't know your cycle, but based on my normal cycle. Fertile mucus arriving on Tuesday would mean I would ovulate on Saturday or Sunday (roughly). I would say that even if you stopped having mucus on Friday, there is still a chance. If you still have mucus - there's a big chance.

 

[SweetBella]

okay.... im not sure if i even ovulate, i have a basal therometer... can anyone tell me what to do exactly... am i supposed to use it first thing in AM?

 

[beccasmommy]

annaapple I am here still kicking we are moving so...

Hi trying ot catch up on everyone........

Im in the end of the 2ww, probably one of hte last months of ttc.

at 43, its a bit late for me to hope.
I have 4 children with my first dh...and my curretn husband and i share 1 and so hoped to have just one more child together.

God's will, isnt always what we dream!

Good luck to everyone here, sounds like you are all on the right track.!


**** BBT TEmping is best first thing before you even get outta bed!
**** My CM is crazy, I usually get EWCM right on a day or so before O,
**** BDing, we have tried this month everyday from AF till after Oing, and I dont feel optimistic. Tried everyother on a month.....we have been ttc this baby for 13 months. and not that the bding isnt lovely.....a package outta all of this would have been nice! hehehehe

Nice to meet you all

Well, maybe this month we'll get lucky on 7/7/07. We tried earlier today. I probably won't ovulate until Monday or Tues - so we'll try again, I pray this month is our month.

Hey, good news! Ovulating is a good start! And maybe knowing everything is OK will make BMS even more fun! for you girl! Let's hope clomid won't be necessary!

Thank you for that encouraging information. Here's praying! DH has just headed away again, but we sure had a nice weekend - absence makes the heart grow fonder Maybe all the other months we gave up (and gave in to exhaustion) too early?

Fertile CM def. gone by Friday, but I'm really happy that you have all gievn me hope for this month again. Thank you very very much!

annaapple I am here still kicking we are moving so...

Good luck with that move! My parents conceived my sister from the stress of a move - here's hopin' and prayin' for you, prayer buddy!

Well, maybe this month we'll get lucky on 7/7/07. We tried earlier today. I probably won't ovulate until Monday or Tues - so we'll try again, I pray this month is our month.

that the Lord opens your womb for your joy and his glory!

Do I get the multiquote prize?

My mum recently arrived from Europe and I went up home to help her settle back in. While I was up there I ran into an old friend of ours from church who I haven't seen in a few months...I need to have a little rant.

We were talking about a teaching of JPII on sex and marriage, and I said that I just keep getting more and more out of it in my spiritual life. Our friend said 'oh, and when you become a mother you'll probably get more out of it again'. This made me so upset because I hate the implication that Gabriel doesn't count as a child just because he died before he was born! There was no need to bring parenthood into the conversation at all! It makes me especially mad because the last time I had seen him he came to ask me how I was doing since Gabi died, and he made a similar comment. I told him then, 'I am a mother, but my child is dead', and yet he has made the same comment again!

I know, kudos to him for even mentioning it (most of my friends still haven't said anything - not even 'sorry to hear your news'). But I could understand his comments if we were of different beliefs/backgrounds, but he is Catholic - and I know he, like me, believes that life begins at conception. Why does not making it to the third trimester instantly negate the personhood of our child!?!

/rant.

Sorry girls. There are so few people in life who understand these things and I thought you would!

I'm one week through my 2ww wait now...but not very hopeful because I was sick right around the time I would have ovulated.

 

[lovesdolphins]

Does this thing work??

 

[lovesdolphins]

OK, yea - I tried posting this morning with no luck, and then the site went down again.

I am now in the dreaded 2WW, and I found out today that a co-worker is pregnant. I am happy for her, but my heart breaks - I want to be her, I want a baby of my own.

Oh, I am trying to figure out if my CM yesterday was fertile or not, hopefully y'all can help me out. It was EW, but it wasn't stretchy at all, it was slippery, and wet, but no stretch to it, we didn't DTD, so either way it wouldn't matter, but I'm not sure if it was fertile?

Oh dear - the heart didn't work. Have another hug from me. God bless you.

 

[Maharg]

Hiya - yes that news is difficult. It's like that at my church at the moment.

Not sure about the other question you asked. I think fertility friend records what you described as fertile. But someone wiser will be along soon I am sure.

to you

I've been trying to get on for the past two days, but this site has been down - but now I'm back! And still waiting to hear of more BFP's here!! I know I'm in the tww - but I don't know when af is scheduled to arrive - and I don't want to know. I always count down the days - and then that entire day, I'm running to check every couple hours. I finally decided I'm getting a little ridiculous about it, so if I don't know when to check, I can't obsess over it too much, right?? We'll see how well that works. I've decided that if nothing happens this month, I'll take the Clomid next month. Something has to happen soon! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Has he ever had a baby? I totally see where you're coming from, and why his remark was so hurtful, but maybe he just doesn't 'get it' emotionally because he's never been there? In any case to you! That's a rough remark to have to field.

I loathe the ttw. Don't know if it helps, but I conceived ds2 just before I got really really sick with E. coli - so there's always hope!

It's such mixed emotions, isn't it? You want to be fully happy for the people you know, but... to you too! And when I have what you describe I always assumed it was fertile - but then, I haven't had a bfp yet at this time of ttc, so who am I to talk?

Hiya - yes that news is difficult. It's like that at my church at the moment.

It seems ot be like that EVERYWHERE at the moment.

I think I'm going to find it hard to be sympathetic if a pregnant woman complains to me about her symptoms - I'll be thinking, well, at least you're pregnant!

I for everyone in this forum every day. We need some BFPs this month, definitely!

Yeah - I do that too. Except that I always know kind of when af is due, so closer to the time I start trying to calculate it exactly, and make deals with myself about when I can take a test etc. Hope you're more disciplined than I am
