Hi Cloudy

Looking at your chart even if you did OV on CD 14 but didn't BD then would you not still be in with a chance since you did BD the both days prior and sperm can live for quite a few days?? Or am I looking at it all wrong and through rose tinted glasses?? I'm still a relative newbie to all this Also I have read mid cycle spotting is an excellent sign of fertility and occurs just prior to ovulation.
Either way I hope you get your this month and good luck with trying not to obsess about it!!!!

OOOOhhh, i like the sound f this rock start sex - will have to try that this cycle. Have you got your thermometer sorted?
Good luck xx

I think SJ is absolutely right Cloudy! If you ov'd on cd14 then you have the two days prior to that, which is just great! You might even still have some hanging around from your bd on cd10!

He he... yes, do give it a try! Makes TTC more fun and enjoyable. Hope it gives us both our s!! No on the thermometer... still working out the delivery details with the company on eBay. Cost for duties may push the cost too high.

SJ and magic: I have also read that sperm can live up to 5 days but I'm a bit confused now after reading more books. I'm worried the little guys didn't make it because I've also read that they can survive UP TO 5 days only if there is EWCM present. I haven't had any EWCM so I'm really worried that the poor little s have been killed off before they could get to work! Pleeeease tell me that they still have a chance!

sometimes you don't noticed the ewcm but it doesn't mean you haven't "O" and i think in couples of day your chart will confirm you "O" on CD15? no rather then CD14 ? ...
i thought the rules was after 3 days of high temp you confirm ovulation with low temp day before those 3 days occured?
but i may be wrong...
in any case i think you BD timing looks right to me any more time for one more session ?

Hi miel!

I've seen your lovely self around in other journals and threads... how wonderful of ya to drop by mine! (And we're in the same time zone! ) You are so right... I don't have to have EWCM to have O'd... and I do base a lot on my temps to pinpoint Ov. I've just been getting impatient to see EWCM because I haven't seen it for several cycles now and I'm worried the s don't have good CM to swim through. I think I've figured out that the wheat bran I've been adding to my diet is the culprit so I shall ignore the lack of EWCM, cut out the wheat bran, and keep lookin' at my temps. *Wishing reallllly hard for sustained high temps* Oh yes, doctor told me to keep BDing until at least CD18, just in case I Ov two times in a cycle... so there's still more rockstar sex to be had!

miel

have heard of EPO ? to help with the fertile CM as well...
epo:Evening prime rose oil

but i wish you the best of your TTc journey and it may end as soon as 12 days or so !

Hey Cloudy!
I've finally got 'round to reading your journal ... I wanted to check in and say HI to a fellow Canuck!!!
Whereabouts in Vancouver are you? My cousin lives in Nanaimo now - I'm dying to get out there... can u believe, I've been all over Europe, but never out West?!?!? embarassing, I know... (I'm originally from Montreal)...
Anyway, sending you some I hope I'll be reading about your very soon!!!

CloudyDay

Yes, I did just learn what EPO is while reading Nat's journal! I'm striving to think positive and visualizing a for myself this cycle so I'm going to hold off on looking into new things for now. I'll add it to my "to look into" list: EPO and cutting wheat bran from my diet.

Thanks for the wonderful wishes and I'll be adding your journal to my subscribed list!
