    Porsche - Thanks for the info on Clomid, sounds like the advice you have been given is the same for me - must be stock standard if on Clomid? I looked at the Clomid calculator and it calculated my dates with exactly what the OBS/GYNO said, except he said to continue to DTD til at least CD 21, whereas the calculator said to stop at CD 17. I think I have already O, perhaps on CD 14 as I had horrific pains down there on & off all day plus OBS/GYNO said it would be likely given my cycle of 29 days that O should be about CD 14/15. The only thing that has confused me a bit is I got a very small amount of EWCM on CD 12. If I don't fall pg this cycle, I will get some pre-seed - the chemist down the road stocks it.

    I'm sorry if you did have a loss on your previous cycle. x

    Hi Rhichichi

    You will have EWCM a couple of days before you O as this is your "fertile window". It lasts for a few days before O and a few days after O to give the sperm a friendly environment for fertilisation. I think all up my "fertile window" was about 4-5 days from memory. So to me you getting EWCM on CD12 sounds normal to me.

    The pre seed mimics your bodies natural sperm friendly environment so gives them a better chance to get to where they need to get to. And it can't hurt anyway lol.


    PS Mods: Sorry about the link I'm still learning the no no's.

    Hi girls,
    RhiChiChi- I agree with Porsche, I usually get the EWCM for 3 days (1 before I O, 1 on the day and 1 after), and the pains usually clarify! TMI, but I hope that helps.

    Tammara- that's great! Good luck today for collection

    Mez, you poor thing! I hope the wound is starting to clear up now. It's probable that the reaction was to the dressing or the tape they used. apparently that adhesive on the tape causes lots of problems if its on for a while. Hope it's good now though.

    Porcshe-I've not heard of Preseed before, but I might give it a go this round. ANything to help the lttle blighters get where they're going!

    Hope everyone else is going well!
    AFM- Heading off for my op in about an hour, I'm a little nervous! Wish I knew more about how I'd feel post op, but I guess I'll just wait and see. Anyway, hopefully this will do the trick, becasue 4 of my friends have just announced they were pregnant, 1 who said she didn't want kids, and I'm a little heart broken. I'm so happy for them, but a little jealous too, and that sounds so selfish, and then I feel bad...anyway, enough of my rant (Sorry girls!)

    Talk soon,
    Bec
