So, after reaching cycle 10 of trying I decided to use opk's. I got my first smiley face with clear blue today!! Yay!! DH and I dtd this morning, so wondering if that's enough?? Should we dtd again tomorrow?? Not sure having never used opk's. Any advice welcomed Smile x

Yeah maybe 7dpo so i think anyway so i have no idea!!
Its stopped now was all day yesterday though... Strange

I havent have tender boobs yet, was really moody and grumpy on friday, more to the fact i was out on a works night out and didnt want to drink just incase lol! But will have to wait and see :)

Hi ladies!

Not sure what that could be tinks... I think it might be a little early for implantation but who knows. We are all different! Fingers crossed that it's a.good sign for you.

I've had cramps and boobs are a little tender. Oh and mood swings. And excessive thirst. But I also have a cold so think I am just run down, plus I had cramps/sore boobs last month which amounted to nothing. Wish I could stop thinking about it!

babytinks89 · 09/02/2014 13:24

thats good hun :)
yeah I had a positive opk last sunday... cramping for 3/4 days so yeah could be?
but im not feeling hopeful, dont think we dtd enough only dtd on the sunday and entirely sure when I actually ovulated so im stressing a little, but preparing to start again end of feb! do we shall see.
any symptoms so far?

Hey babytinks! All good here, trying not to symptom spot too much!!
Oh, don't know what that means. Were you using opk's?? Hopefully it's a positive and maybe a sign of implantation!! X

How is it going girls?
Any symptoms?
Im 6dpo today, although yesterday i had a lot of ewcm that i ran to the toilet thinking my af started!!
Is this normal? Or have i ovulated late?

maeanne · 07/02/2014 12:52

Hope the bleeding has stopped now Demi. x

babytinks89 · 06/02/2014 23:17

How did you get on Demi?? Has it calmed down yet......

Demi123 · 06/02/2014 11:09

Thanks guys I will do that and let u no , it's the 4th day today it has no clots it's red and very light for a period but sounds heavy for implantation it's weird because I don't have any pains like I would if it was period

maeanne · 06/02/2014 09:26

Yes I agree, any unusual bleeding should be checked out. I would call your gp, Demi, see what they say. X

Demi I would defo go to the doctor if the bleeding continues, or even speak to them on the phone and see what they think. Let us know how you get on.

I'd maybe call your doctor hun, bleedings doesnt sound too good, i mean you can have spotting by thats normally around implantation which is 6-10 days after ovulation.
Try not to worry though, what is it like? Heavy? Colour? How longs it lasted?
Do you have any pain?

Demi123 · 06/02/2014 01:22

Also I have never been on the pill so not sure what this could be

Demi123 · 06/02/2014 01:20

And can u have a positive digital smiley opk then have a period 5 days later surely that's not possible if I ovulated :s I'm so confused

Demi123 · 06/02/2014 01:19

babytinks89 - thanks for your response yh I have a regular cycle I most of the time have a 32 day cycle and if it's any earlier it's always 28 if not 32 , surely this can't be a proper period I'm experiencing as I'm on cycle day 16 this is way to early

babytinks89 · 05/02/2014 21:19

Yeah hold of as much as you can
Although its easier said than done!!

Expected af due on 16th for me as per 28 day cycle but like i said iv been up and down. Plus i was on the pill since last aug and always overlapped for years so i never knew when my cycle was tbh!
I hope we've done enough girls. Dp can have a break without me hounding him to dtd haha!

The cramping pains keeep shifting from the left tube to the right, strange. Got a bit of a tummy ache as well, and majorly bloated!
Hurry up more pg symptoms! Give me a little hint

maeanne · 05/02/2014 21:16

I'm determined not to test until af is late this month.

It's hard though because I had what I thought was af when pg with dd, so we didn't find out until I was 8 weeks - and even then it was a very faint positive!

babytinks89 · 05/02/2014 20:57

my spelling on this tablet is horrendous lol

babytinks89 · 05/02/2014 20:56

im the same bob,
after mc my cycle was 37 days!! I was goimg craxy lol then in 34 days... il be tempted to test early I know it!

aw thats nice your keeping it a surprise again!
id like to find out im far too impatient and dp is the same lol

That's exciting hungryhorace! You'll be busy when the baby comes along Grin Going by your calculations I reckon we're 2 dpo.
My af is due 16th or 17th. Generally 30 / 31 days. Longest cycle has been 32 days, so think I'll wait til 19th to poas if af has not reared her ugly head!!

HungryHorace · 05/02/2014 20:32

No, not finding out the sex. We didn't with DD, and it's great to get a surprise. :-)

And EWCM is egg white cervical mucus.

babytinks89 · 05/02/2014 20:22

thats exciting! :) are you finding out the sex of this baby?

cool about the ecm stuff what does it stand for im a complete blonde when it comes to the shortend initials!!!
well I havent really checked but had a small discharge in my pants a couple days ago lol but nothing like that :s so unsure really if I had that..

just hope iv done enough got a bad feeling though! and gotta wait all this time to test to be disappointed Sad fingers crossed though! hopefully have some symptoms soon!

HungryHorace · 05/02/2014 19:37

I'm due August 7th and yes, I'm showing. But I'd not lost the weight from DD (she's only 7 months old!) so I'm fighting a losing battle there! :-)

I hope you all get your BFPs.

Oh, I count the day after my smiley as OV, then the day after that as 1 DPO.

maeanne · 05/02/2014 18:54

Sorry, that's what I meant!

allchatnicknamesgone · 05/02/2014 18:37

Hi. EWCM is stretchy not sticky. Just like egg white. Sticky cm is considered in fertile.

maeanne · 05/02/2014 18:28

Babytink, my understanding is that ewcm is clear and sticky so could be that?

Demi, no idea I'm afraid.
