New Here Opinions appreciated! TMI?

Hi to everyone here! First want to say that I have been addicted to reading these boards for a few days now, and have finally signed up so I can take part in these discussions! It is nice to be able to talk to others about this, who are going through the "trying" phase since out of my friends, I am the only one! First question, which may seem dumb, but could anyone make post a list here of all the abbreviations used, and what they stand for? I can figure out some, but don't know the actual words they mean? I think it would be helpful for alot of people! LOL Now for the TMI part of the question. I have noticed for atleast the last 2 or 3 years, that when it is time for my ovulation, I almost seem to have a yeast infection. What I mean is, the discharge is similar and there is a bit of discomfort. after 3 to 5 days, it goes away and I forget until the next month. I was on the Pill for a short while, and noticed that this did not happen, so since then and going off the pill again it is the same. So my Hubby and I have been "trying to conceive...TTC? since after christmas, BUT I have shyed away from any aactivity during these "yeast" periods and lo and behold, am still not pregnant! HA Now last cycle I decide to ignore this and count days and all and we were busy on all key dates, including when this discharge starts, It did start barely, and I jumped (No pun intended) on the opportunity and the next day the discharge was GONE and did not recur AT ALL for this month. Now I am do for AF on the 29th and the past few days have on and off felt extremely nausoaus (Cant spell that word!) Also cravings. Wonder if anyone else has this experience during Ovulation? Any thoughts on possible pregnancy due to lack of normal Ovulation symptoms? SORRY SO LONG! Am known for making a long story LONGER!!! Thanks all!

Somewhere on here is a list of the abb. I'm sure osmeone can dig them up for you. What I wanted to mention to you is the "yeast infection" days - that is WHEN YOU ARE MOST FERTILE. You DO WANT TO "DO IT" then when you are ovulating. If you don't have sex then you wont conceive.

Good luck and I hope some of the more experienced gals on here can be more help!

When you are experiencing the goopy stuff that is eggwhite cervical mucus. This is the MOST fertile mucus before ovulation and it can sustain sperm for up to 5 days. It is the easiest mucus for the sperm to swim in. Usually as you approach ovulation you'll notice your mucuc gets creamy, then kind of watery and finally it will turn to egg whites. The egg whites look like exactly that and they are very slippery and stretchy, you can stretch it between your fingers. Semen is similar to the egg whites so if you are no squimish about it try to stretch it between your fingers. Semen will only stretch once maybe twice, eggwhites will stretch several times. So when you notice the egg whites get to bding (babydancing). HTH!

Hi Jen,
Yes, I broke down against my better judgement and went to the dollar store after work and tested when I got home. Nothing. I realize I am probably way too early as I am not due till this weekend, plus have been drinking coffee and water and stuff all day so urine not the best to test. LOL Your right though, this waiting stinks. If I cant wait for this, when I do get pregnant, its going to be the longest 9months of my life!!! Keep me posted with you too!
