Hi there, I ov either on the 28th of this month or a couple days later, I'm not sure if I am 9dpo or 14 dpo at this point but I'm guessing more towards 9dpo so ... With that my symptoms have been as following :
6 or 11dpo - slight nausea, headaches, peeing a lot, bloating, constipation, tiredness, little bit of white cm
7 or 12dpo - woke up feeling nauseous and that carried on with public transport but haven't been sick, woke up with lower leg cramps too. Feeling pregnant. Boobs are still swollen and still bloated. Cm has returned to clear and stretchy consistency Took a test but BFN
8 or 13dpo - symptoms easier today, feeling tired and breasts have been fluctuating a bit in size but no tenderness, had more cramping and sharp abdominal pains than normal but no bleeding. Felt a bit nauseous eating salted crisps but other than that not much nausea.
Still stuck with the clear stretchy cm
9 or 14dpo - had more cramping today in the morning and still feeling extremely thirsty and needing the loo a lot. Nipples have been slightly tender but only for a short while. I'm now basically all dried up down there, no sign of any cm.... Good or bad sign Hmm????

I'm trying so hard to resist the testing urge but I bought 4 asda own early response tests yesterday and it's so tempting. Would tomorrow (10 dpo) be too early!? af is due Wednesday or Thursday as far as I know so that would be 12 or 13dpo

Hey everyone

Just wanted to say that I tested last weekend and got two BFNs, bought a cheapie today and got a BFP. Definitely worth waiting! I felt so rubbish with the BFNs last week and spent over £10 on tests that are supposed to pick up the hormone early!

Sending lots of positive vibes! Xxx

WickerHearts · 18/03/2016 17:38

Yes!! That was one of the things I noticed that was completely different to my 'normal' cycle, I never get that before AF. Have you got it too??xx

AnxiousBetty · 18/03/2016 17:33

Wicker did you get an increase in white thick ish cm? Xx

Oh Chapman, sorry Sad As hard as it is, try and just forget about this month now and focus on next month Smile I realise it is easier said than done though Confused
Take a look at this...

Explains it better than I can I'm sure. May be worth trying as it seemed to work for us.

I know what you mean, some couples it happens so quickly for. They're just really lucky I guess Envy

AnxiousBetty · 18/03/2016 12:32

I know the feeling, on Wednesday DBF and I went for coffee after work and a meal and he chose a table next to a couple with a 1 year old (I guessed) and I almost cried!
Let's hope next month is your lucky one!
I'm feeling emotional today so if af doesn't show this weekend then I'll be shocked xxx

thanks hun i wont. just feel like i did everything right this month DTD every other day through fertile week but ive obviously ov later than expected and not covered all bases!
just feel rubbish cause i work with someone who only came off the pill in january and fell pregant after her first cycle. This will be my 4th now hoping its a lucky one! fx she doesnt show hun xxx

AnxiousBetty · 18/03/2016 11:41

Oh Chapman! Don't be too disheartened. Try and track it next month so you know for certain when you're ovulating,
I have a funny feeling I'm going to come on today as well, just don't feel quite so ... Pregnant but who knows. I'm testing Monday if i haven't come on by then
I know how you feel, I wanted to cry at work because of my bfn but also had my face on
Xxx

Came on this morning girls. Gutted isn't the word! Worked out my cycle is 31 days so think I didn't time my dtd right this month. Must have ovulated on the 4th or 5th so gonna have to make sure I use my opks! Feel like crying at work but I've got a face full of makeup xxxxx

WickerHearts · 18/03/2016 07:07

Thank you Cherry!
Betty I have no idea if it definitely helped us tracking ovulation, but it is the first month we have and it seemed to work Smile
Chapman I got my positive OPK on 2nd March, so actually could have ovulated 3/4th March. Sure they say 12-36after the positive you ovulate. We DTD every other day from about CD8/9, then every day for a few days when I got the positive OPK. Read something called SMEP on another post which interested me, so sort of gave it a go. Lots of luck ladies SmileSmile xx

cnchapmanxx · 17/03/2016 22:51

Wicker can you remember what day was your most +ive opk! I've just bought some more for me to use next month! No Hun I haven't and I'm working all day tomorrow and then going out with the work mates so unless she doesn't show tomorrow then it'l have to be Saturday but then I'm at work all day doing overtime! In reality I could pick one up on my dinner but I'm not because I genuinely don't have any more symptoms and I'm never lucky!! Xxxx

AnxiousBetty · 17/03/2016 22:28

I didn't fully track my ovulation this month so maybe I should do that next month if the witch decides to show up!
I'm debating whether to test in the morning even though the likelihood of a bfp is low.... So tempting .... Confused

Congratulations! Lovely news.

AF still awol. I think I have thrush which I sometimes get at the end of the period...however I've just taken a course of antibiotics so it may be down to that.

WickerHearts · 17/03/2016 22:21

I'm fairly sure I ovulated on 3rd March. Yes I tracked it this month using the ovulation tests, found them pretty good. But yes, the pregnancy tests, rubbish! Have you got any others to use Chapman? I hope you ladies get your BFP's too SmileSmileSmile xx

cnchapmanxx · 17/03/2016 21:54

The ovulation ones are really good wicker but the pregnancy ones are fkin shit!!
Did you track your ov this month Hun? Xx

Anxious aw bless you! I'm gonna test on Saturday if she doesn't show but I'm never this lucky! Xx

AnxiousBetty · 17/03/2016 21:40

How funny is that Chapman I worked my dates out and think i ovulated anytime from the 5th to the 8th so I'm in the same situation! Testing Saturday or Monday again I think! GrinConfused

I agree, the Amazon One Step tests aren't very sensitive at all are they. From experience the ovulation tests I found really helpful, the pregnancy tests however, wasn't very impressed xx

cnchapmanxx · 17/03/2016 20:48

Sorry news*

cnchapmanxx · 17/03/2016 20:45

Evening girls!
No need to report getting s tiny bit of cm but don't know whether that's just waiting for AF to show. Had my friend who's a midwife look into my cycle and she thinks I've got all my dates wrong and I only ovulated on 5th March so I could possibly only be 12dpo which would make it hard to test on them Amazon one step ones and probably why when j was testing on the frer last week it wasn't picking anything up as I was only 7dpo on Saturday 😂😂 so I'm gearing myself up for AF on Saturday now! XXXX

WickerHearts · 17/03/2016 20:42

Yeah is a good idea to wait and test, as horrible as the waiting is, it's better the BFN's. Got fingers and toes crossed for you!!
Yes DH was at home when I took the test, we agreed we'd wait until this morning and do it together...We're both very excited!!
Xx

AnxiousBetty · 17/03/2016 20:18

Well I'm hoping so! But I'm not getting excited, I don't want to be let down if I get more BFN's. Just kind of waiting for AF to turn up.
Well I'm not entirely sure after looking at dates etc, if it hasn't turned up by Monday though I'm pretty sure I will be definitely late Hmm
It is very exciting!Have you told OH yet? Xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 17/03/2016 19:42

After googling white CM is a good thing!! Smile when is/was AF due for you?
No I couldn't see anywhere it stated the sensitivity of the test, I thought they would have to state it somewhere.
Very excited, although suddenly quiet nervous at the same time!!xx

AnxiousBetty · 17/03/2016 19:37

I've used Asda ones and they're supposed to be sensitive although it doesn't actually state the sensitivity anywhere Hmm

Nipples are still a bit sore and had more white creamy cm today and cramping like af! Who knows what's going on! Confused

How are you feeling about your little bean!? Grin

Xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 17/03/2016 19:26

Just a sainsburys one. Doesn't say anywhere on it how sensitive they are though, so not sure on that.
How are you all getting on today?xx

AnxiousBetty · 17/03/2016 16:48

What test did you use wicker? Xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 17/03/2016 10:54

You're still in ladies if no AF Smile xx
