Your Bd pattern was every 2 days so i don't think it matters if you had +opk on cd 11, or 15....you covered ALL the bases and i think BD every day is justbtoo much for our men in their 40's and would hurt instead of help.

I BD night before +opk (2 days before O) and got pg....yeah didnt stick but sperm met egg!

Based on your chart. Think cd 11 was a false alarm and you O on cd15.

Thanks MrsG. I hope I've done enough. I'm starting to feel too old and tired for this. Bahahaha! DH came home from work last night and found a urine sample sitting on our basin in our ensuite. He didn't even ask me about it but I noticed that night when I was cleaning my teeth that he had placed it on the floor in a corner of the ensuite. I nearly gagged and choked on my toothpaste from laughter. Anyway, I did have a bit more dangly EWCM this afternoon...can yuo still get that AFTER you've Oed? I'll make sure we BD again tonight just in case. Hope you are going well MrsG and starting to thinking positively again about ttc again.

Ha ha....well I use my pee to fertilize my houseplants (dilute 10:1 with water), so my DH doesn't even bat an eye when he sees urine samples on the counter...he just assumes its plant watering time.

You get ewcm before O and day of. By the time the ew starts drying up its too late as Atomic will tell you that's why all these ladies trying O+12 miss the egg more often than not.

I went for another blood test this afternoon. I've been having pms tupe cramps but nothing...i just feel...ick....all over ick. Also having a bit of anxiety bc i know what is coming and i'm so NOT looking forward to it...

Hehehe! You made me laugh about yuor plant watering habits MrsG. That's hilarious! Your pot plants don't get a strange smell do they? My DH didn't ask any questions either....just removed it away from the basin area like it was a sanitary waste product not to be touched. Bahahaha! Anyway, I don't think we'll get around to BD tonight as I can't be bothered and DH is studying. I hope things get started very soon for you with the mc Hun. Maybe you could at least tell your DH that you are unwell or having a heavier AF than normal and he might be more helpful/supportive for you. Don't worry...it might not be as bad as you are thinking it will be. Xxoo

RE EWCM after O - the thing that makes EWCM is hormones (estrogen) and yes, yes, yes, you can get EWCM after O. Sometimes it takes your body longer to clear the estrogen surge than others and so that leftover estrogen is still making EWCM, and/or there is some leftover EWCM hanging around up inside that finds its way down and out.

We have also seen a pattern (and I"ve had this myself some months) where people notice that they actually dry up the day before O. So they have no visible EWCM and have yet to O.

Long story short, EWCM drying up is not a good way to tell if you've Oed. It can help but it cannot pin down O to the day (and when studied, it found that even highly trained experts could only get day of O right, 1 out of 3 times)

The month I got my daughter, I BD late Thursday, ovulated on Friday, then I had EWCM thru Monday. I was 100% sure I was out that month and was shocked to my very core when I conceived that month (this was back when I still believed the IG tale that EWCM dries up immediately upon O). I thought I had not ovulated till Monday or Tuesday based on my EWCM patterns. I DID notice a change in mood/libido (which for me is very dramatic and more reliable than any more "respected" symptoms) but I did not take it seriously because I still had the EWCM.

No, there is absolutely no smell at all...i do make sure to water top to botom and don't leave water lying around in the dish. Plants are all lush & green & thriving.

Commercial fertilizer is made from urine of farm animals which is then processed and crystallized nto granules....i figure my urine is better bc i know what is in it.

I've noticed the plants growing a bit faster than usual....maybe its from all the hcg!
