@ Mrs Smith, I have been thinking and using Google a lot regarding hostile CM and everthing comes back to Pre-Seed. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
Good Luck with O!

@ Ninies, I really wish I could have had a U/S to see what my follies are doing, but oh well. Are you going to be using the OPK every day up until O is confirmed?
I think that I will use my one and only OPK on CD13 :)

@ Inca, oh my word that sounds painful, I hope it gets sorted out very quickly.

@ Chanti, what is happening girl? :P

@Mrs Smith - Oh goodness. That also happened to us a few times. Really akward and annoying....
Which CD are you on now and when are you expecting to O?

I am on CD11 today. Not paying tooo much attention to my body this month like I have been the last few cycles. Must say also not much in the mood this cycle to BD.

Hi Ladies,

@Jaybee - I started getting O pains yesterday and some bad ones this morning. I tested this morning but got a negative OPK. Temp dropped this morning but not to the level that it was last month when I ovulated on CD15. So I think I am gearing up for O. Pains not as constant as when I was on Fertomid.

I think it is possible that when you ovulate from the left you have a better progesterone level than what you do when you ovulate from the right. I also know that not everyone have EWCM when they ovulate. Watery CM is also a good sign.

@Inca - Wow you sure are having a terrible tooth experience. I really hope the abscess clears quickly. You are still in the game until AF shows.

@ Liza - Good luck for this weekend. Funerals are never nice, but can be nice to catch up with all the family again that you dont get to see often.
How was yesterday's Fertomid symptoms?

Jay-Bee - I have read that Fertomid can negatively affect CM, so that could be why you have so little and possibly not the 'right' kind. Kind of ironic really - take the fertomid to make you ovulate so you can get pg, and then it causes the cm to not be 'right' so it's really unfriendly to the sperm.

Given that your last progesterone level was half the first one it does sound like either you didn't ovulate at all or it wasn't a great egg. I doubt it means that one side is 'better' than the other though, I suspect each month is a month on it's own and results can vary monthly.

Inca - shame man, that doesn't sound fun at all! I'm really glad your friend could help. I hope it all gets sorted out soon and that the meds help.

AFM - We did land up bd last night. We both climbed into bed hopelessly too late and freezing cold and were both instantly almost too tired and cold to actually do anything, but then we decided what the heck and we dtd. This morning we were starting again, actually really enjoying it, and then our son (3 yrs old) woke up and walked in :tmi: So we kind of had to stop LoL. Was so annoying cos we were really just getting to the fun bits! :silly:

Morning Ladies :)

Hope you all having a better morning than I am :) Woke up with my top lip totally swollen from this freaking abscess. What the heck!!! Thank the good Lord, one of my closest friends is a dentist so rushed off to her so she could open up my filling again for it to drain. And she managed to get me an appointment for the specialist for 12h30 today. Am so high on all my meds at the moment. Taking Augementim, Flagyll and Stilpayne. So this TTC thing needs to just be put on hold till all this is sorted.

@Chanti: Have you tested again today? When is AF due? My fingers and toes are crossed for you :)

@Mrs Smith: I find that when I'm not in the mood to BD, I put on my sexiest and naughtiest lingerie, light some candles, put all 4 pekingese downstairs and that generally changes the mood quite quickly. I know it sucks when you feel like that when you know you should be BD'ing, but give it a shot ;) Who knows? Maybe it will work for you as well? A hot bubble bath before with a glass of wine is also great :)

@Liza: Thinking of you this weekend...

AFM, on CD25/10DPO, expecting AF to arrive anytime from tomorrow to next Tuesday. Could not be bothered at this moment with this stupid tooth that is bothering me at the moment.

Me: 28
Taking Pregnavit x1 & Be-Tab 5mg Folic acid x1 in the morning


BFP 16 Sept 2015

Hi to all the ladies.

How is everyone?

@ Ninies are you getting any ovulation signs yet?
@ Mrs Smith, I hope you feel better about this cycle soon :rock:

I am wondering if you could help with this answer?

When I first ovulated on Fertomid (2nd round) I had lots of ovulation pains (left side mostly) and EWCM and had a really good progesterone level.

Third round (previous round) I didn't have really any pains but now and again on my right and left side and no EWCM OR really any CM. My Progesterone level was half of the previous round.

Is it possible that I ovulated on my left with a good Progesterone level and then next cycle from my right with a lower Progesterone level?

:tmi: I am having watery CM (CD10) which is on time with my first ovulation so really looking for some hope that I will have a good ovulation again. :)
