Hi Kitty, thanks. But I'm pretty sure it's not OV pain. AF is due on Wednesday and I'm 12DPO today (used my CBFM for the first time this month). I do get OV pains and did when my monitor had it's peaks back on 23/24th December. But I'll admit the pain today is the same! Maybe I'm OVing again!

In all honesty, it's probably nothing. When you're on the TWW, everything little twinge means something, when normally you wouldn't even notice.

KittyVonCatsington · 05/01/2014 09:15

Hi PetiteChouette, don't worry-I get that too. It is most likely it is ovulation pain which for the most part means nothing is wrong but a good sign you are definitely ovulating. Not the nicest of pains but should only last about 48 hours at most. Make sure you are SWI in the meantime Grin

PetiteChouette · 05/01/2014 09:09

Morning everyone!

Sorry to see a few AFs turning up and also a few BFNs this morning! Fx they turn into BFPs and it's just too early.

I'm 12DPO today. Not testing as I don't really have any symptoms that make me think I'm unduffed Hmm. But this morning I do have a bit a pain around my right ovary. It's really annoying. And of course it's now making me think worst case scenario that the egg caught and it's ectopic! Someone please slap me! I told my DP and he just rolled his eyes and disappeared for a shower.

Anyhow good luck to everyone! The BFPs seem a bit shy this month. Hope we get some more soon.

Sleepisf0rwimps · 05/01/2014 08:20

Someone slap me. I'm only 8dpo and ss already. I'm knackered and nauseous, have sore boobs and my emotions are all over. I'm sure it's far too early to even have any symptoms so I think my mind is playing games. In reality I know I have several stones to lose before I will even fall pg. Urgh.

Of course, at only 8dpo I poas. Bfn. Shocker.

You can find the app on android phones in google play. You can also mark on the calender when you dtd marked in the calender with a heart, haha. Theres other notes you can make like mood swings, when you got positive ovu test, chart your weight, I find it really helpful plus its free Smile

queenasanti3 · 05/01/2014 07:45

Hi,
Not sure what type of phones you have but there are some good apps out there for those wanting to know when they ovulate I have one called My calender it is a pic of a pink book with a flower on it, I use it to log when my period starts, it then marks on the calender when your most fertile days are and which day you are likely to ovulate and it works out your average cycle length after a few entries have been made, so l used this the first time I tried to conceive along side ovulation test just to be sure and got pregnant first try, oh and I was using pregnacare conception too dont know if that helped.

WakeyTryingAgain · 05/01/2014 07:12

AF due today...no cramping or pain.
Just POAS and it's one of those BFNs that's so glaringly obvious it's like the stick is laughing at you.
Not a fun day, although to be honest not sure how good I would of been at work if it was a BFP!

PolytheneGirl · 05/01/2014 01:43

Hi everybody. Exciting NY for us all. I'm TTC #2. In dec we had a slight mishap and nervously awaited AF. DH and I were both so disappointed when it arrived it seemed obvious that Jan was def the right time to start trying.

Is it too late to hop on the bus? My stats are:
TTC #2 cycle #1 bfp due 17 Jan.

Good luck to everyone x x

Gingerpanther27 · 05/01/2014 00:51

Barmy I went to see the midwife this week and she can't fit me in for over a week, by the time I get seen it'll be time for my next period if it had happened. Dp has basically presumed I'm upduffed and I'm just getting pissy as still no proof. So either I have a shy bfp or my body is playing some very cruel tricks on me. Just fed up and want to know am I pregnant if not where is my period. The week midwife can fit me in is the week I go back to college so should be fun.

BumpNGrind · 05/01/2014 00:32

Barmy I don't envy you, moving is an absolute nightmare but it'll be much easier to get your DH to DTD because it's the absolute rule that all new houses must be christened.

AF is quite painful this month which isn't softening the blow at all, uuuurggghhh, someone pass me the leftover Quality Street!

barmybunting · 04/01/2014 22:44

Ginger, you must be getting so frustrated! Are you going to try to see Dr at some point? Any news for you LH?

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose cycle seems to be all over the place. Although saying that, I would rather noone had that! CD19 or 20 I think for me, and looks like ewcm is starting to appear. Just in time for the worst week ever - packing up and moving 600 miles across the country into a house I have never seen and an area I have only visited twice about 6 years ago... This should be fun. DH doesn't know it, but he is about to have lots of testing an airbed in dtd as we pack/move and our furniture disappears for a few days! Maybe it's well timed, I won't be able to fuss as much as usual anyway Smile.

Gingerpanther27 · 04/01/2014 22:37

Lol at your dp mama that's my sentiments as well.

mama31 · 04/01/2014 22:31

Ps that's not normal behaviour for him....just to clarify! haha!

mama31 · 04/01/2014 22:31

LOL moment....clearblue pregnancy test advert came on tv and DH just put 2 fingers up at it :/ so it's not just me getting impatient......

Gingerpanther27 · 04/01/2014 22:23

LH next test is next week when I get paid lol. If I'm not then wth is up with me?!

Meringuebaby · 04/01/2014 22:10

Welcome northern! Good luck!

TMI... We've been at it since Thurs, with OV due Mon. Fingers crossed. BFP AF due around 21st.

I really feel for all the ladies suffering through the TTC madness, the unanswered questions relating to the weird stuff our lady parts get up too... It's no fun! Good job we can at least enjoy the rudies!!

I didn't know that if your period is short/light getting pg can be more difficult! This is worrying me! My periods have been 1-2days at most since coming off the pill in Sept. Pretty light too. Eeeeep!

northernlass81 · 04/01/2014 21:10

Hi all.

Can I join the bus please? TTC #1 and this will be my first cycle TTC. Came off the mini pill in Nov and have had two 30 day cycles since. Should ovualte around the 9th so BFP due Jan 23rd. Have pretty clear ovulation signs so decided just to DTD lots!!
Good luck all.

LH1981 · 04/01/2014 21:01

Ginger you must be???!!
When will you test again? X

MHJC · 04/01/2014 20:48

I'm on CD 35, and my cycle varies between 30-38 days, so thought I'd give a test a go just now...Sadly negative.

My pre-menstrual symptoms are almost non-existent (a good thing my whole life until now!), so no idea if AF's on the way. Think I'll get some OPK tests so i can work out my ovulation day better for the next cycle.

Pleased to be on the bus anyway, Kt1991, please add me as below:
MHJC: TTC #1 cycle 2, BFP 4th Jan

Flukewoman · 04/01/2014 20:36

Sorry about your BFN Cherie Hmm

And thank you choccie

Gingerpanther27 · 04/01/2014 20:17

And I'm also getting very pissy with it all.

Gingerpanther27 · 04/01/2014 20:17

lh I was on it post birth and it made my post birth bleeding long and dragged it out.as soon as I stopped taking it within two or three days it had stopped. Limbo land update. I just spewed up after smoking. I quit now. Dp happy with that.

Blithereens · 04/01/2014 20:17

HRM and Choccy I found the doc on Netflix and was intrigued! It's about how the new MLP show has a ton of adult and apparently mostly male fans. I'm a geek
And John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation) is in it so I have it a go. And was apparently moved to tears Hmm

Cherieblossom · 04/01/2014 20:10

Oh ladies
I have had cramps like mad so I had a glimmer of hope and poas.... BFN :-(((
Today is cd26, my cycles have been 27-28 recently
The test was an amazon cheapie
Is there still hope for me?
I am cramping a lot which I don't normally get before AF
All opinions appreciated

LH1981 · 04/01/2014 20:06

Ginger I was on Cerazette until August - and same here, a bit of a wait for AF to come back and then pretty regular...until now! Wonder if that's it?!

Getting to the point where I'm getting in a bad mood over it and snapping at everyone. Bah!
