Reet - Dang it, I did it again! So, no prezzies from DH even though he was away? No excuse. Tell him he knew all year when your bday was... he could've hidden a present somewhere for the big day, lol. I hope he spoils you EXTRA rotten over the weekend. And OMG about the faint line! That's pretty exciting. Even though there was none on the second test, don't lose hope. It is still reeeeally early. Keep your spirits up, ok? It's still yay for May for now!

Kit - I laughed so hard about your lingerie comment. Sometimes I try to stall so it stays on longer. LOL. And I hope I have an eggie and spermie getting very close soon, too! I'm also really glad you feel like crap, lol. That's a great sign. I had a good chuckle about the cadbury cow, too. You're probably at your scan right now so I'll check in later to see how you went. I have everything crossed for you.....

T-Hopes - Sorry about the UTI. They can really be a *****! I remember I had to make a trip to the emergency room the night before 'moving day' about a year ago. It was HORRIBLE. I felt so guilty because we needed to get to bed, but instead spent half the night waiting to be seen while I peed blood every few minutes. Uuughh. Oh yes, and then they wanted to do a pregnancy test. What the fudge? lol. I refused, as I was still really tied up in knots about the mc at that stage. Last thing I wanted was to see a BFN even though I knew it would be negative. I still think you could be in with a chance this month, especially if you definitely O'ed. It would be nice if you could sneak in a BFP before all those tests. Best of luck!

Matthew's Mum - I'm sorry about the long cycle. 4 weeks is long enough, let alone 6-7 weeks. I hope something miraculous happens and your body decides to be kinder to you than that.

Craftymummy - Your backache might not neccesarily mean AF is on her way. I remember having a bad backache before I got a BFP all those many months ago. I was so sure AF was coming. Until the boobies got sore. I hope you get your yay for May, it would definitely be hard to be TTC in June after getting your BFP in June last time. Hugs to you. I enjoyed the 'cry in July reference, too'. But what the heck rhymes with August and September, eh? Not much. Let's hope we don't have to worry about it because we're ALL out of here. hehehe

AFM, I had a very exciting day today. Well, it didn't start out that way, but I'll start at the beginning instead. I did manage to sneak in a bit of school night sex, without even busting out the lingerie! DP was apologizing because he gave me the old 'two minute noodle' (LMAO) but I didn't mind in the least. It was my fault for being such a vixen. lol...... Anyway, I got up a bit earlier this morning to use my first OPK (yay!) and was disappointed to see a reeeeally faint line. Almost non existant. I thought 'oh great, I probably won't O at all this month'. Suddenly, I have EWCM! I think it's EW, anyway. It's been a long time since I experienced it, being on bcp and all. I think the reason I'm finding it so difficult to tell is because of the bd last night. I am leaning towards thinking it is, though, because it's stretchy. Apparently 'fallout' (lol again) isn't stretchy at all? It's been getting stretchier and stretchier all day. Oh, and more and more, too. Not to mention the randiness. Hehehe.... I really hope O is on its way!

So that leads me to my question. Is it really EWCM? Is it possible to have it hours after a negative OPK? Aren't the two meant to co-incide? Or is it just because it's only just starting to become EW? TMI alert here, but I have to ah.. 'search' for it. Back in the good old days it was erm, kind of obvious as it was... well, escaping on its own. LOL. However, when I do 'search' for it... It's there. Bigtime. It seems to be just starting, which would explain the neg. OPK. So does this mean I'll have a pos. in a day or two's time? I'm so tempted to use another OPK, but I don't want to waste it. So tomorrow morning I will do another one. Hoping that line gets darker, and things get stickier! LOL. I'm giggling like a schoolgirl writing this. Very excited that my body might actually be behaving itself and doing what it should straight after bcp! Could I be that lucky? I sure hope so. I will say one thing though. My CM is most DEFINITELY more obvious since stopping the pill. To me, this has to be a good sign.

TIA for your wise opinions, ladies. I'm sure you guys all know a lot more than I do about EWCM. And sorry for the long me-ness at the end of this post. I'm just so curious/excited/randy. LMAO.
