Two or three more full days til test

Luxlisbon82 · 11/07/2013 08:53

Hi, can I join? I've got 8 days till I can test-
anyone else symptom spotting mad? I swore I wouldn't and on cycle 1:
I've already obsessed over veiny boobs and thighs

needing to eat a snickers twice in one day even though I'm normally a vegetarian super healthy foodie who doesn't like sugary stuff(probably caused the veiny-ness due to 3 eaten in 2 days-faaat)

Feeling unusually good- normally always tired due to other dc' s. That one is insane

And I actually have a little belly (see 3 snickers)

Weeing ALL the time Inc 5.30am, I mean it's not like like it's hot or anything and I'm drinking lots.....oh.

Being way more dippy than my usual self- claimed yesterday that W-E didn't spell anything. Stepped in cat sick I was fully aware was there 2mins before on my way to cleaning it up.

I'm normally quite sane and non obsessive, what happened?

Oh brilliant, a TTC buddy! Will this be your first writer?

TeaAndANatter · 10/07/2013 19:44

Due to test on Sunday or Monday. Not sure if I want to know, or just wait for a fat disappointment when AF comes and pocket the crispy fiver for chocolate.

Writerwannabe83 · 10/07/2013 19:37

Writerwannabe83 · 10/07/2013 19:36

Hi all, I've had the most yucky taste in my mouth today, like soil , it's past now but a good two hours I spent wanting to rip my tongue out!

Hi all

I'm just starting my first real 2WW, except that I'm not really sure when I ovulated. Hmmmm, hope we DTD at the right times. I've just had two days of EWCM (though later than I thought, days 15 & 16). Does that mean I'm ovulating now? Oh gawd, maybe we need to DTD again tonight in that case?

AF due on 22nd, but if ovulation is late maybe even later... How to pass the time?

MightilyOats · 10/07/2013 16:07

I'm about half way through the 2ww (I think) -ttc #2 and though with #1 I was charting temps, knew my cycle inside and out this time round I haven't a clue Grin

Had a couple of days mad symptom spotting at the weekend (as in probably about 2dpo), felt sick, light headed, tingly boobs, exhausted... POAS (yes ridiculously early, I know) and BFN (naturally!), since then, I've felt fine...

Moving house next week, so probably for the best if I'm not pg, but there you go Smile

charleylarlie · 09/07/2013 18:52

Tea1Sugar - you probably wouldn't get any symptoms until implantation has occurred, which is about 6 - 12 dpo and even then you might not know for sure until you do a test. Some women get changes in their cm as a very early symptom of pg but many don't notice any change at all. I'm not v in touch with my body so have no clue really about my own cm - have only just discovered ewcm last month. But don't rule yourself out just yet! Smile

Bambi27 · 09/07/2013 18:38

Oh right well hope you're wrong and you get your bfp this month!!

Think I'm out for the month Hmm 3dpo and got loads of white creamy cm. Af due 20th but already very doubtful Hmm

TeaAndANatter · 08/07/2013 19:03

I think it works its way up to ewcm, then goes back down through the stages (but a wee bit faster). At least mine does, and its always been pretty consistent.

Now for a tmi cm mucus question Grin Thursday and Friday seriously watery cm coupled with a positive opk, dtd both days, Saturday negative opk and minimal cm, think I ovulated according to various apps, yesterday and today cm is err creamy. I thought dpo were suppose to be dry? Hmm

It's an American product but I bought mine on amazon as recommended by others mumsnetters. Can be used via applicator or straight on you/him. Only frigging 2dpo Hmm

Pulling up a retro-faded stripe deckchair for the long fortnight ahead (well, one week now for me). Laying out a good book, some factor 50 and a long cold lemonade.

And wondering where I'd buy this pre-seed?

charleylarlie · 08/07/2013 11:37

I think that ewcm occurs just before or on the day of ov, but not entirely certain so don't take my word for it.

I've never heard of pre-seed. Can you buy it in Boots or the supermarkets?

Going to be a long couple of weeks as I'm only 4 or 5 dpo and already beginning to imagine symptoms (itchy and tingly boobs). Must be all in my head as it's far too early for me to have proper symptoms - implantation wouldn't even have occurred by now! Confused

A lube specifically for conception. All others are damaging to sperm but this is actually designed to help the swimmers along! It mimics ewcm Smile

No idea sorry!! I'm so out if tune with my body it's unreal!!! Xx

Writerwannabe83 · 07/07/2013 20:36

Pre-Seed???

Original poster
Tea1Sugar · 07/07/2013 20:35

We've used pre-seed for the first time the past few times of dtd - it's err slippery! I think Af is due 19/ 20/21 but who knows Blush

Writerwannabe83 · 07/07/2013 20:25

Thanks charley - I'm starting to worry that DH is starting to feel 'used' haha Grin

Planning on DTD is this weather is daunting..... Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 07/07/2013 20:23

Welcome Charley and Bambi,

Best of luck to you!! It would be great if we all got BFPs!!!

How long after EWCM does ovulation usually occur??
