Cherub250 · 09/01/2016 10:15

So I'm on 2dpo and obviously 3 days in on the tww! Is there anyone the same that wants to be my tww buddy and compare notes? A little bit of back ground info on ttc... My OH and I haven't used contraception for two years now! However we haven't been officially 'trying'! There have been months where we haven't even BD around ovulation etc so technically this is our first month "Officially" ttc! I'm pretty sure I ovulated Thursday but we BD Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning & Evening, Thursday Morning & Evening & last night lol! Grin Today my CM has gone straight back to CWCM and that's it thus far! Any advice on getting through the tww, helping implantation? etc etc?

I am also 10DPO! Eek! When do you think you'll test? I'm exactly the same as you, don't want to do it too early Confused I have a little CM, but I never usually have v much. Sore boobs, had a little cramping...but then these are all period signs too Hmm This is our 2nd month ttc....Fingers crossed for you!

Cherub250 · 17/01/2016 08:15

Yay lots more ladies!! So today I woke up! I'm 10dpo! The last couple of days I've had next to no CM! This morning t's gone back to a fair amount of CWCM and my cervix seems to have buried it's self into the walls if you get what I'm saying!! I hope I'm still in! I have 30 internet cheap HPT but I don't want to get a BFN and be miserable for the rest of the day lol! Does anyone know why my CM would dry up then change to CMCM??

Hi ya ladies, hope you don't mind me joining?!
Im also in the loooong tww! Af due on Wednesday...So desperate to test already, but know it is too early Confused

I know what you mean about planning. Luckily I don't normally travel with work this is a one off trip but we do have 3 weddings this year one of which is in Turkey. I keep changing the subject when friends ask if we're going as I don't feel I can commit. So silly I'm sure I'd be more relaxed if I just got on with life. It's just a number of close friends have had or are pregnant with their first and I really want to be going through it with them.

Brenna24 · 16/01/2016 14:32

I know how you feel Kent. We pretty much got on with life as normal last year but then I had a miscarriage. Now I feel like I daren't plan anything as if I get pregnant again I won't be wanting to fly in the tww or early pregnancy, DH is worried about me driving or going on trains too as the older ladies in Italy said that they used to be told not to do that as it was bad for the baby. Thus we can plan nothing ahead and can only do things spontaneously for the first half of the month. I am going stir crazy and we are only 3 months since the miscarriage. As a result, instead of being relaxed as I was last year, I am neurotically tracking everything and counting down the days until I know whether or not I can do stuff again. I don't think it is healthy at all for me. Oh well.

It only took 2 months last time without all the tracking and testing. This is our first possible month this time. Hopefully this time won't take too long.

Norris88 · 16/01/2016 13:53

Thanks Brenna for your reply! It's stopped now was only this morning. Hoping your AF stays away! Feel like such an idiot for expecting ttc to be relaxed, I am analysing every single 'symtom!'

Brenna24 · 16/01/2016 13:50

Red spotting here. My normal cycles are 28-33 days with a LP of 15-17 days. This is a bit early for AF for me, but I suspect she is on the way. Sad

KentCat · 16/01/2016 13:04

Off to India with work today so hoping being so busy and in a new place will help the week go faster. I know we've only just started trying but already feel like I'm constantly wishing the days away to reach the next marker. Anyone else feel the same? Waiting for fertile days, then waiting to see if AF comes, then waiting for it to be over and then waiting for fertile days again.

My heart goes out to those of you who have been trying for some time

Brenna24 · 16/01/2016 10:48

11 dpo today. CD 24.

Big welcome to all the newbies Grin.

Norris, on my last pregnancy I had a 1 hour implantation bleed, bright red blood, on cd 26, between 2 and 4 days before I was due AF.

Norris88 · 16/01/2016 10:33

Ladies can I join? Cd25 and af due on Monday or Tuesday. I had a small bit of brown spotting earlier this morning is this too late to be implantation bleeding? Or is it af coming to town a bit earlier than usual but I've had no other tell tale af signs?

ThePinkFlamingo85 · 16/01/2016 10:10

Hi can I join? Im 9dpo,been ttc for a year. Had a bfn yesterday, feeling fed up!

leoniethelioness · 15/01/2016 19:12

My official test day is Wednesday. No real symptoms other than cramps sometimes, creamy CM and my breasts are tender and nipples are really dry?!? I get most of these symptoms with my period.

leoniethelioness · 15/01/2016 19:11

I'm on my second cycle and five days until my period is due. I've ordered some cheap pregnancy tests too which I hope arrive tomorrow. I'm thinking about testing on Sunday and every day until AF invariably arrives if they have arrived but I think it'll probably be too early... I just don't want to test and then pretend to be normal all day at work afterwards!

KentCat · 15/01/2016 15:16

Hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 2 dpo, this is our first cycle trying so I'm not holding my breath but you still can't help but hope.

bobcat85 · 15/01/2016 10:28

It's pretty much perfect timing for an implementation bleed as it's a week before AF and I'm 8dpo. Not getting my hopes up though.

Cherub250 · 15/01/2016 08:33

That's Awesome Brenna!! Stay positive!! Bobcat, it could just be implantation! Let me know if it increases! We hope you're still in! Yesterday my CV went from lots of EWCM to completely drying up! Then increased a little before I went to bed! Now it's back to CWCM! I woke up this morning dizzy, fuzzy headed with a migraine and I'm constipated! Blush but these could be symptoms of a cold coming on! I don't know! I hope I'm not out but CM drying up isn't exactly an indication for pregnancy!!

bobcat85 · 15/01/2016 07:40

I got a bleed this morning, not sure if this is AF early or something else. I'll see what happens.

Brenna24 · 14/01/2016 22:43

So the day I posted about the temperatures mine had dipped quite a bit and I thought it would keep going down. It didn't, it shot up the next day and is now up to it's normal levels for this time. So I am maybe not out after all. 5 days to go.

Cherub250 · 13/01/2016 18:09

yeh CWCM is a good indicator for pregnancy!

OP posts:
Shemozzle · 13/01/2016 15:33

What should CM be after ovulation then? I've not got as far as researching that, only EWCM in the fertile window. I take it cwcm is good?

Cherub250 · 13/01/2016 14:41

It's not nice is it, doesn't help that us ladies torture ourselves month after month! I'm 6dpo today I think and now my cervix has gone really low, hard and EWCM is starting to creep it's way in, I still have CWCM but it's becoming less soooo I'm dead grumpy today lol! Hope I'm still in though! Eggy has still got chance to implant yet! My 30 early cheapies are on the way lol!

OP posts:
Shemozzle · 13/01/2016 13:46

cherub that blastocyst pinball dream has really tickled me! Grin Sorry for your loss, I had one faint positive last month and then the next day negative. Period was a week late and it was horrible getting negative tests again and again until it arrived. Must be so much worse actually having several clear positives and then it happening. It's why I don't think I'll be doing early tests this month, even though I have a drawer rammed full of the early cheapies!

Cherub250 · 12/01/2016 08:45

Hey Shemozzle, I totally understand what you're saying and you're right, it is strangely comforting! I had a miscarriage last year and I felt like I was loosing the plot because I was literally 5 weeks so ! week late on my period! I had 3 BFP's and 2 BFP's using anther brand, I had all the symptoms too! The pain was awful and I lost so much blood and people were actually saying to me...
"Are you sure you were pregnant?" Asif you'd ever ask a woman that anyway?! Brenna, I gave up temping you know! When I tried a few years a go my temps always used to be all of the place not matter what I did or how I slept lol! My partner was laughing at me last night! Trying to get to sleep on my back, lying as still as plank of wood lol! Then I started having weird dreams about the blastocyst trying to implant but while I'm moving in the night, it's rolling around like a pinball lol! Checked my cervix gain this morning, Medium height, firm but cushiony lol and firmly closed! Lots of CWCM but with a slight yellow tinge! Just hope it stays that way... Well and cervix moves up and goes soft! I suppose if I'm right about ovulation and all is well, implantation should be starting today right? I've bought a pack of 30 10MIU HPT from Ebay for £2.59 I figured they'd keep me going for a while lol! I'm going to buy amore expensive brand when I get a BFP!

Stay positive Ladies, especially you Bobcat!! If you're feeling negative, research the law of attraction, or got on You tube and look up 'The Secret' which explains the law of atraction!

Brenna24 · 11/01/2016 22:09

I don't think this is my month either. My temperature is up but it is halfway between where it normally is before ovulation and where it should be for this half of the month.

Welcome Shemozzle. I didn't know about the feet. Mine have been cold the last 3 nights in bed. Hot water bottle for me tonight then.

bobcat85 · 11/01/2016 20:53

Shemozzle - welcome! Some interesting facts there. Must do some more reading around it.

I've got 6 more days until I can test but I have a feeling that this month won't be the month. Just a feeling I have really, not based on anything at all.
