PINK BUTTERFLY

Yeah I know u are totally right, your are not the only person who said I should CALM DOWM! lol specially as I know now that the vit B6 can lengthen the L phase so really need to stop going on about it!

Just been to Holland & Barrett and got myself a bottle of 500mg EPO and 50mg of B6 tablets, im also taking the Pregnacare conception tablets that have 10mg of B6 in them...if my L phase is short is that enough to sort it out?

No didnt have sex on those days as was to freaked out about the whole L phase - silly me!

Do you think your peak was on cd12 then? but then you say on cd14 it was a little dark....

Look into the CBFM, you dont have to guess how dark the line is with the machine as it does it for you. Amazon is the cheapest, I was lucky and got mine for £60 at a chemist near me x

Continued ( message )
dont know whats happening with me hun, on cd 12 i run out of opks so couldnt test all day, the following day cd13 i gets my opks from ebay, so i tested first thing cause they arrived about 9 through the door. I did one & it was almost positive, then i did another in the afternoon & it was bfn & so was the one in the evening. The day after this cd 14 ( yesterday ) it was bfn then i did one in the evening & it was quite dark :/ i does another & it was bfn then todays is the same bfn. Grrr, it's doing my head in. I am supposed to test on the 7th nov for a 32 cycle. I thought my cycles may of been shorter this month cause i am classed with low fertility, having ovulation problems, so they put me on some new fertility meds as i never got caught with the clomid. These meds am on this month are ( rubbish ) am gonna have to ask them to up the dose, cause there is NO way i am getting my bfp this month i just know am not. X

Hi pinkbutterfly, oh this has to be ewcm then if you never had sex that night. I usually have a 32 day cycle i wont get a positive till cd17, thats when i am not on any type of fertility meds like ( clomid ) or the ( tamoxifen ) what i was on this month. Maybe your cycle will be a bit longer due to late ovulation i.e your 3 bars on your monitor, your cycle length this month might be 35, we will have to wait & see ( hopefully) you wont come on if you do then you will be able to tell for sure wether there is a problem with your lutal phase on the length of your cycle. I think your worrying a bit to much too hunni, especially if this is your 1st month ttc, lol ... relax, the main thing is you got your peak didnt you so thats good news ( fingers crossed ) for that bfp. Did you have sex on cd 19 or cd 20 ? You can start taking some vitamin B supplement if you find that your lutal phase is shorter than 12 this month, that helps to lengthen the cycles X

Hey hunni, sorry only just seen your reply to me on here. It's hard to tell when you have had a orgasim cause that can sometimes look & feel like ewcm infact it could be a mixture of both. I would say it was sperm though, if it was lumpy on the tissue, i have had exact the same.

It's actually sperm stuck together, them we consider the dead ones, every man has some dead sperm, there the ones that pour out Do you find that you see quite a lot of sperm like this on a tissue the ones that look clumped together like little balls ? if so, then it might be worth giving your other half ( Vitamin C) & ( Zinc vitamins ) that helps a great deal. You can send me a message if you want to ask me anything hun x

Yes i went back to 2 bars today, im ok just hoping that I do not start my period for at least 11-12 days so that I know i havent got to worry about the L phase - I know i keep going on and on about it but its really freaked me out!

I think the instructions state that when you first get 3 bars you OV 24-36 hours after that, thats why the monitor shows 3 bars for two days to cover itself as it could be either day the egg actually breaks through into the right place to be fertilized (sorry dont know prob terms for it all) and then 2 bars the day after as there is still a possibility that you are still fertile....

I will have a look at your thread now and see what other ppl have said about it x

Hiya,

I'm good thanks, yeah it went to two bars. I have actually just put a thread on as I am trying to figure out when I would have ovulated or if it would be today. My cervical mucus changed yesterday so am thinking it could have been yesterday. I am confused, lol!
How are you? did you go to 2 bars too? x

Hey Star33

Glad you messaged me as wanted your advise....I got some EWCM this morning, well I think it was as had a orgasm last night so not sure if I was just a bit yucky this morning (IUNWIM) because of that? lisey27 did say that she heard that the trick of knowing is if it just sinks into the tissue then it could be sperm or love juice, it was clear and lumpy...what do you think?

Kind of hoping that I have already OV this month as on day 18 and I have a 26-28 day cycle so if i am only OV now isnt that a bit close to my period i.e Luteal (not sure how to spell it) days? x

Hiya hun how are you ? xx

Yeah you are totally right, im sure we will both be fine. Let me know when you go to 2 bars, that is if you do this month as dont worry if you dont as we will monitor it next month as im sure it will show better results then if we both dont get what we want this month! FX for us both.

P.S My other half says the same to me, he is ok about it at the moment as its only the first month of us trying but I know if I keep going on and on and on about it in the end he will think im crazy! LOL x

Hi,
What are we like-posting in our own profiles, lol.
I am still on one bar...I was happy that I was going to be away on my fertile days (as I thought it was going to increase to 2 bars-but didn't)
Thats what I was thinking, I usually get a pos ovulation test on day 14-15 so that would mean that I actually ovulate more like day 16ish. I am still going to consider this whole week as a fertile period just to cover myself.
We really should stop worrying but it really is sooooo impossible...my OH says I think too much :/ lol.
I have only read great things about the monitor so not gonna stress (try not to) too much yet xx

b) a lot of ppl who start to use the monitor after using the OPK kits say that they find out that they OV later than the OPK sticks said they did so it could be that you dont OV on days 14 or 15 after all but do after that

c) Both of us really should stop worrying (EVEN THO ITS IMPOSSIBLE) until we at least use the machine for 3 months in a row.

The monitors are great but as they (and others say) they are so accurate it actually makes you worry as you are waiting for those bars so you know you are ok!!!! x

Are you showing 1 bar today, sorry getting confused with messages as in one you are saying you are happy about fertile days...you mean you are on 2 bars now, if so when from?

Well the monitor is supposed to show you high days around 1-5 days before your peak days, now if i am right your peak days are 12-24 days before you OV. So in your case your peak days should be the 12-13 days what would make you OV on days 14 or 15

a) you know you defo OV cause you been using the OV sticks so you havent got to worry about not OV (rest on next message)

Yes, maybe you're right, it could just be that the machine has to get used to our cycles. I usually ovulate day 14 or 15 but some people do ovulate later.
I agree, if we dont get our positives this month, then fingers tightly crossed for next month x

I sent this the other day-but posted it in my own profile, lol
I'm the same, not expecting it this month but want and hope it happens soon (for my own sanity). I know exactly what you mean, even tho I have a son I was concerned (before the miscarriage) that something may of happened over the years to my body and I wouldn't be able to have anymore. I really am a stress-head, lol!
I am so happy about the 'fetile' days as I we are going away (just me and OH) for the wkend so good timing!!
You are not alone...I didnt know what it was til trying this time round. I had noticed it but didnt think what it could be and my friend who is pregnant now and has one already didnt know...i mentioned it to her when she was trying this time round and she googled 'fertile mucus' when I went home cos she didnt want to look stupid by asking me what I meant, lol. Its not something you're taught tho is it!! Thank goodness for google and pregnancy forum!! xx

Hi pinkbutterfly
Did you get your peak yet?
I am still only getting 1 bar on day 11 which I am shocked by-thought it would go to two by now. xx

Hiya,
Yeah still just one bar at the mo but only day 8. Don't be disheartened, its still v possible that you will get your peak and still get pregnant this month. xx

Hi, yeah, it showed just one bar but I was still so happy!! I think you're fine, its cycle day 12 so still time for the peak. I think all can see these messages and its in people profile section. I need a course too tho, lol! I love this forum tho, its my new facebook, lol x

I am still getting used to it too so dont worry. You can send private messages too, I don't know how to send them but I have replied to them, lol! I will defo let you know how it goes and keep us updated about getting the peak on the monitor x

Hi, thats what I thought, it will be easier to see how eachother are doing xx
