GTR2882 · 14/09/2011 12:03

Has anyone ever never had a positive OPK but have still ov'd? I have been peeing on them, sometimes 3 times a day, since about CD5 and although i have had some that are almost positive, i am yet to get a true positive. My cramps are getting worse as well :(

millyv · 14/09/2011 09:54

Thanks for your advice ladies! It's not something I've attempted to check yet, will stick to the o.v kits and temperatures for a few months as I may do more harm than good knowing me!

Good luck everyone this month - being off work next summer would be lovely with a June baby! :) Xx

princessesmummy · 13/09/2011 20:51

af arrived on Sunday. so its not my month. dp is away for a couple of weeks soon . so can safely say its not gonna be a June baby for us. so I'm off at the next stop .good luck guys. and congrats musicmrs! will remove myself from the stats wen I get on a pc. cheerio

Mama5isalive · 13/09/2011 19:18

wow you lots sure know about your ladies bits!!!!!! i am staying away( may do myself some damage)and im wondering about my ov-ing this month before i would get pains in 1 side, and slight cramping that would get worse then subside, dont pay much attention to my cm really! and so i am just hoping well praying the way i have carried on in the past will be enough to get me off to pregnantville!!!!!!!! no symptoms at all just tired but working and packing to move so would be expected - countdown to AF on the 20th Sept!!!!!!!

GTR2882 · 13/09/2011 12:06

Excellent advice festie thank you :) Aha, maybe that's why mine always appears to be low, because when i checked on the loo it was hard to reach!!! My temp is consistent but low (36.13 this morning down from 36.17 yesterday) and my OPKs are about as useful as DH weeing on them!! Thought i had what seemed like a positive on CD 29 but I am now CD32 so i would assume that ov has been and gone!! Have not had what i would call a true positive yet this cycle, only hints at what might be a positive!! Confused

festiemum · 13/09/2011 11:57

Oh, and meant to add - if I check while squatting it appears much lower.

Little bits of stabby crampy things are supposed to be an ov thing though aren't they? What's your temp doing? And OPKs? Are they shedding any light?!

festiemum · 13/09/2011 11:54

Brilliant description of CP GTR! Welcome millyv!

As for position to check CP - I do it while on the loo. I don't think it matters, as long as you're consistently in the same position ifyswim.

I read somewhere that although it's a good idea to check your CM throughout the day; you should only check your CP (apparently after your morning poo is a good time Blush) once as it changes position throughout the day! So another thing to monumentally confuse us then! Hmm

GTR2882 · 13/09/2011 11:20

Millyv no worries - to check your CP you need to first wash your hands thoroughly and basically insert your middle finger into your hoo ha and reach up to feel for an area that is different from the rest!! You will know when you find it! Then you need to check whether it high (can barely reach it), medium (can reach but it's a little tricky) or low (really easy to reach) and determine the texture, firm (like the tip of your nose) or soft (like your lips) and then finally whether it is open (kind of like a little slot) or closed (like a bump)

Sorry if any of that causes confusion but the more you have a rummage the more you will get used to the different situations! HTH!!! :)

millyv · 13/09/2011 11:13

Morning ladies!

Please can I join you bus, AF arrived today so from May to June I jump!

Random question but reading about you checking your CP, how do you do that? Sorry still a bit of a novice at the charting/checking symptoms thing after all these months ! Confused

Millyv TTC#1 CD1 AF due 8th Oct...

Xx

GTR2882 · 13/09/2011 10:58

Thanks Sn0w and Festie (i could never hate you - you are helping me through this :))

I have some mild cramping that has just come in suddenly, can't say i feel all that randy, but then i am in work at my desk so will see how i feel when i get home! I can't work out my cm at the moment, this morning it appeared creamy but then earlier it was a lot more stretchy and clear!! I also had random stabbing pains in my lower left abdomen and now in my right! My cervix is also driving me potty, i know that it moves about during the day, but this morning it appeared to be high and medium, then half an hour later seemed to have dropped lower and when i checked a few moments ago, it seemed higher again! I know it's going to be tmi, but how do you check your CP? I normally squat but is it maybe better to check whilst sat on the loo? I only ask because my last check was when i was sat on the loo and the whole experience was completely different!! Confused

festiemum · 13/09/2011 10:40

My cycle tends to follow a pretty textbook pattern (I'm sorry- don't hate me!). Dry, then creamy, then ewcm. My cervix goes so high I can hardly find it and very soft. I get very randy - to the point where I am phwooring at random men and wanting to leap DH at any opportunity.

Don't think I get cramps. :)

Sn0wGoose · 13/09/2011 10:29

Freakishly large quantities of lots of EWCM on the run up, and my sex drive sky rockets, but that's about it. Sometimes I get cramps and sometimes I don't. Hth :)

GTR2882 · 13/09/2011 10:24

Morning ladies - i have a very quick question! Can anyone describe their symptoms at around the time that they ov (if you know what they are!)?

Mama5isalive · 12/09/2011 22:23

Will do some catching up while out of action for SWI, since I'll have no funny stories re: bonking.

Fingers crossed for some updiffery!

sweetpb · 12/09/2011 19:42

well, the nasty sideaffects from the metformin have finally abated a little!! still no ov sticks until payday so have told hubby we need to go on the assumption that a miracle will happen and I will have a normal ovulating 28 day month and that means i could ovualte anytime from yesterday so have to swi every other day now until...... well until af arrives and that mean i am out lol!!

Congrats musicalmrs lets hope this is the lucky bus x x

festiemum · 12/09/2011 19:24

Thanks GTR and Sn0w. Batter all dried up today, so since me and DH managed plenty of SWI this weekend, hopefully we caught that egg!!

Now, into the 2ww with a pledge not to SS - (yeah RIGHT!!!! :o)

MrsGrumpWantsABump · 12/09/2011 19:13

AF arrived a day early on Sunday, boohoo! Sad I'm going to change my strategy this cycle and jump DH every other day from day 7 until day 21 to make sure there's enough SWI.

Windmill How I met your mother is terrible, but it's not worth crying over hee hee ;)

ChocolateWindmill · 12/09/2011 13:51

Congrats musical!!! Such great news!

I am symptom spotting like crazy. My boobs feel twice the size, I've been crying at How I Met Your Mother and I has some spotting which has never happened before. AF due on Friday so have to hold off until Thursday to test. It's far too difficult!!!

Why are our bodies so silly, surely we should have been created with a lightbulb on our heads that lights up the moment sperm successfully meets egg??? Angry
