Not sure what's happening right now. Last night, I felt that good old "pulling sensation" again... what the??? It's only CD9... why?? That went together with a wierd dip in temp (35.8 ) then the pulling was gone in the morning accompanied by a rise in temp to 36.1. I'm so sleepy when I temp, though, that I'm leaning towards blaming it on improper/inconsistent thermometer placement. I try to seat it right on that spot under my tongue where it hits that funny little "divider" in the middle and can't go any further back. But, I often fall right back to sleep until it beeps... so it's possible it slips during my blackouts!

On the positive side: I'm seeing my CM amounts going back to normal this cycle. Not as dry as last cycle. I'll be REAAAALLY excited when I finally see some EWCM again... it's been too long since I last saw some!!

Hiya Cloudy! This month I am much more obsessed with my cm than before I think - I'm finally starting to be able to tell my sticky from my stretchy - but I long for some proper ewcm!!! When I was a teenager I thought something was wrong with me cos my knickers were always in need of a change - how I long for those days!!

jo: I hope that cloud you've been walking 'round in has the number 9 somewhere! Thanks for stoppin' by your old "haunts" in the TTC journals! I am wishing REEEALLY hard to join ya in 1st tri soon. Thanks for well wishes for my mom. She just got a good report from the doctor... still responding well to the treatment. *Phew*... buying more time for now. jo!

nic: I should steal one of magic's blinkies... I've been an obsessive toilet wipe inspector!! I really want to see some EWCM this cycle... and LOADS of it!!

magic: Wait a minute there, girlie... now there's a "stretchy" CM?? Oh no... that's a whole new category of CM I have to add to my list! Shall we post pictures of our mucus samples?? I've only caught the odd glimpse or two of my EWCM in cycles past so I doubt what I see when I examine the toilet wipes. Yes, I too long for the days when I used to soak my panties with CM... how ungrateful I was for thinking it a nuisance. Knowing that now, I must have been REAALY fertile in my teens and early twenties... always had soaked panties and plentiful CM back then.

How cute... DH really wants to have a say in our TTC journey so he's asked if we can follow his suggestions this cycle. Well, what I've done hasn't worked so far... why not? I was apprehensive at first but his plan actually makes a lot of sense (I was shocked to realize that he actually listened all the times I babbled on about TTC details!! I assumed he was just nodding and smiling!) Anyway, this is his 2-part plan:

1. BD schedule:
- started today at 4pm
- Sunday morning
- Monday evening
- Wednesday evening or morning
- Friday afternoon or morning
- Sunday morning

2. He really wants to avoid using lubes and will try getting my "love juices" going before BDing. Without going into TMI, let's just say he's willing to do a bit of "work" to help get the juices flowing! (We tried it just this afternoon and it worked... no lube necessary!)

He's becoming a wonderful partner in this TTC journey. Love him! Looks like this cycle's BDathon will be a good one!

Ooh how nice that DH has had an input! That must be rare in the world of TTC! Sounds like you've got some fun bedroom time ahead you lucky fish! (Make sure he doesn't use saliva down there tho hun - it can actually start digesting the

CloudyDay

He he... no, it's not that R-rated! I won't be letting ANY saliva get near my "noo nah" (love all these funny new terms I'm pickin' up on BnB!) or near any spermies! We're doing "tamer" foreplay stuff. Since we started TTC, we've let the foreplay go by the wayside... we just got right into the as soon as he was ready... now we'll make sure I'm good and ready too so that I've got some natural lube goin' on.

I really hope this is your month hun! I still don't know what is happening to my body!!!

magicvw

Definitely the way forward! I don't usually let dh throught the turnstile unless he's already paid for his ticket!
