TTC no 2, DD is 2 and a bit and was really straightforward - 3 months of trying and bingo!
Am now on the first day of cycle 5 since starting TTC no 2. (I had a copper coil fitted before and after DD was born.) For 3 out of 4 of the previous cycles I have had period-type pains 8-10 days PO on the same side as I felt myself ovulate. The pains are accompanied by nausea and sometimes headaches on and off over 2 or 3 days. They will end with a feeling as though someone is poking a stick into my abdomen. This lasts for a few seconds and then nothing else.
When it comes to the day AF is due I get a few mild pains and no period. No BFP either, however. AF will arrive a few days late, heavier and longer-lasting than usual, and the whole thing starts all over again.
My periods were regular as clockwork both before and since DD was born. I always ovulate on day 16, no matter how long my cycle drags on for.
The only cycle where this did not happen was the one where DH was away over my fertile period, so I know we did not have sex at the right time to conceive.
Does anyone have any experience of anything similar? It seems as though my body is going through all the right moves and just not completing the final stage. I know this has been quite a short time TTC in the scheme of things, but it's starting to get a little bit depressing now and I daren't get my hopes up now because I just feel like I know what's going to happen
Any experiences/opinions welcome!
