Thanks angel. Toots u have no idea how much I would love to join u, symptom spotting like mad, hating the lack of defonate conclusions and that each symptom can mean a bfp, bfn or af! Tell me in hindsight this all pales into insignificance?

toots123 · 18/08/2014 20:01

Evening ladies! Thought I'd pop in and say hello, its been a while!
only the long timers will remember me as there are a lot of new names!!

Seats are warm on the AN thread for you all to join us! :)

Katy - it cant hurt to dtd least then you know that if you ovulated late you have another chance

Sunbathing cat - sounds promising from your symptoms!!

Sorry to hear you are out mzzzf

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 19:43

Ew ma g I think I can, can u try another.

I now have cramping on left side, have when I thought I ovulated last time having pain on right wtf is going on with my body!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 18/08/2014 19:33

Just tested earlier tonight as feeling so sick and still lots of CM: I really think I can see something here especially on the greyscale, but DH is not convinced, and starting to think I'm just line-seeing everywhere I look! Can I ask what you girls think? www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=305285

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 19:27

Hi kitty, hope hols going well. Pleased I'm not alone with the weird cm. I have never had ewcm before so maybe, maybe it's a sign?? Also have cramping again on the right pelvis. It it's day 23 and I had cramp cd13-19 so was convinced I had ovulated.

Going to dtd just in case tonight, I'm due to test thur my body what is going on!

Congrats oneday, siarie and tickle Thanks
So sorry to any Bfns they are very hard to see so big virtual hugs!

Fifi I had spotting and cramps 4dpo and have no real idea. Could be ovulation spotting or I've read it can happen when blastocyst travels down the tube. Who knows!

Blue I second what Katy said, nothing you do will harm any bean sweetie xx

9dpo for me and interesting about the cm talk. Am drowning in creamy cm-going through two panty liners a day. Getting some cramps too and temps still high with tender boobs-could so be AF though... Won't test yet as don't want to spoil holiday Grin

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 18:56

Ah Sorry mzzf that sucks. I wish u well on ur travels.

mzzzf · 18/08/2014 18:49

Annnnnnnd I'm out! AF is on it's way, started off with pink spotting last night and has gotten more throughout today, still pink and not typical AF but either way I don't think I'm upduffed!

NEXT BUS!

Congrats on the extra BFPs! X

bubalou · 18/08/2014 18:47

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 18:41

Oh blue sky I hope ur right I have way more cm than normal at this time of the month

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 18:40

Hi sunbathing and fifo going to dtd just in case tonight don't use opk do can't do that. Will have to wait and see going to preg test thur as in theory that's when af due assuming this isn't so weird ovulation.

I am praying its a sign of a bfp

jazzyjenbo · 18/08/2014 18:27

Fifi, i had spotting this month on ovulation day.. Never had before but googled and apparently u can hav ovulation spotting, especially if the egg is released quickly.

oooops smiley fail Wink

Mummabubbles · 18/08/2014 16:47

Early implantation fifi ? maybe you ov'd earlier than you thought. Or maybe it's another weird thing our bodies do to mess with our minds! Fx for implantation.

Sorry lucie have a glass of something nice. Fx for next cycle.

So I have really dry chapped lips, I'm slapping on lip balm every 10 seconds. Got to be a symptom, right?? wink

fififolle · 18/08/2014 16:13

Any clues re my earlier post?

Blueskygirl30 · 18/08/2014 15:22

Katy thank you for your reply. And you're so right, all kinds of people get pregnant. Stressed women, women who do my job or similar and also women who go out every night and take drugs/abuse alcohol/eat nothing with any nutritional value. I shall have a good sleep now which will probably take all the irrational worry away!

Also Katy some women get EWCM or other fertile cm after ovulation and I have read several times about women getting some EWCM a few days before a BFP....fx!!!

fififolle · 18/08/2014 15:09

Katy why not try an OPK to back up?

Anyone know what light spotting and mild cramps 3 DPO would be?

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 14:59

Ok stop the bus. I just got ewcm I have never had this and I'm day 23 wtf does this mean should I jump hubbie just in case? So so so confused!

Katybear123 · 18/08/2014 14:56

So sorry lucie - I hope sept is ur month I really do

Blue sky - I know it's hard with odd working hours. I can empathise I have a v stressful job and I worry this might effect me. Then I look at all the snr women in top jobs who have babies and think well if they can do it so can I. Stay +ve just try to rest when u can and eat and drink as best u can I'm told bodies really r very resilient.

Detective - I hear u keep positive hope us all we have

Mum ma - ck e join the symptom gang. Kitty have me so e great advice she said b kind 2 urself and it's really helped I'm not mad I do feel these things it just might not b cos I'm preg but let's hope it is Grin

Angel - I have all crossed for u that it's not the witch. Keep strong and eat choc either way u earned it.

Here in Katybear land I have just been for run and got soaked. Have loads if cm now which I don't normally have on day23 but only got after exercise and that happens to me a lot do not sure if it's a sign. Boobs still hard and feel huge 4 me Wink

ohlordyplordy · 18/08/2014 14:52

lucie I really hope that september is your month x
