I'm out for the month as I have started bleeding (and I am v bloated as well). This would mean that my last cycle was only 22 days. Why cycles seem to be getting shorter and shorter (pre-pill I was a clockwork 29 days). Wtf is going on???

Ohb0llocks · 10/02/2017 12:45

I've proper fell out with myself. Having a KFC to cheer me up.

I've already stropped at DP and told him his penis causes too much stress so he can keep it to himself Blush

Oh and 88claire - I had the same weird CM this month. Never happened before but was can what can only be described as "white gloop" (nice!)

Happened on CD20ish

pebble82 · 10/02/2017 12:24

Hi all. Jumping on please...

Age 34
CD 29
Cycle... 3 or 4
Ttc #2
Af/test date 14 Feb if ovulation happened at the "normal" time (CD19ish for me) I had flu when I should have ovulated so no idea if it happened or was delayed due to me being so run down. EWCM has been totally unreliable. I had none until CD25 then again on CD28. I don't use OPKs as when I got pregnant with DD1 they weren't helpful for me.

We DTD CD 9,13,15,17,19,22,24 and then got bored! So annoyed I got flu with all that action!

Have just had 15 cheapy strips delivered. Trying to hold out until Tuesday but I bet I don't!

I won't do the digitals before seeing a line.. The words not pregnant are so harsh! Also they're not as sensitive as other tests.

I've got one and saving it for confirmation of potential squinters!

gruffalohoh · 10/02/2017 11:31

Still a good chance Ohb0llocks. At 9dpo only 50% of pregnant women get a positive:

I found this really useful, you can change the dpo to see various %

Redpony1 · 10/02/2017 11:29

I fell off the bus yesterday, AF finally arrived post-pill! I'm happy something happened, now i have a proper cycle to track. I have hopped on to the March bus this morning!

It's still early days Ohb0llocks Cake

Ohb0llocks · 10/02/2017 09:44

Bfn again today! 9dpo (I think)

I just want to bloody know!

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 10/02/2017 08:22

So today would be my predicted ovulation day but I don't feel like it's happened yet. Also bought some cheap ovulation tests from Poundland yesterday and only one line. Feeling rather despondent but will keep going. How does everyone else get on with OPK's? I think it would be very difficult to test twice a day when you have to not drink for at least 2 hours beforehand etc?!

Carlotta

I feel your pain! I'm on neonates today....

Chin up and have something nice to look forward to when you get home!

Carlotta82248 · 10/02/2017 07:09

10dpo, bfn, should be 12/40 and having a scan this week. 12 hour day working on maternity, not very jolly this morning Sad

88claire · 10/02/2017 06:44

Good morning ladies!

So I am going cold turkey on the pregnancy tests. My OH said if I make another 8 days without testing or my period appearing he will get some first responses for me. Let's see if I can stick to my part of the deal!

Went out for dinner last night for an early valentines day after work. Which was nice. But there was THREE pregnant women on the table next to us. I was very good and Ignored them but they were sat there rubbing their bellies! Felt so sad!

Symptom spotting to the extreme still. Not sure there's any bribery that will stop me doing that!

How is everyone doing? It's Friday!! Smile

MistyBxx · 09/02/2017 23:03

Hey all, I've got a nice couple of stories too!
Talking to my bestie last night about ttc, she tried for 3 years for her dd (had one son age 6) and she tried everything, she honestly thought she was infertile after her son! So she gave up, went out over Christmas, drink loads, ate crap, smoked, partied and had sex with her hubby for fun and then ta daaa! Baby magic ❤️

Also, for all you symptom spotters out there... my pg friend had NO telltale symptoms except absolutely massive farts 😂😂😂 honest to god, she spent a fortnight just doing huge fluffs and wondering what the hell she had eaten before she missed her period and did a test! And she wasn't even trying either 😂

Motherhippy16 · 09/02/2017 21:11

Hi all. I'm supposed to be ending fw today but tbh I have no idea now. Cm has def turned from ew to more watery so can judge by that basis. Just going to dtd regularly and feel positive and happy. Just to give us hope my friend is 11 weeks now after 4 years of trying...were just about to start Ivf and began to have sex again for fun and they got pg! Fx for bfps for us all soon x

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 19:42

How do you temp? Do you literally just take your temp each morning?

Anna2006 · 09/02/2017 19:29

onenature I think usually your temp raises day after ovulation or can even be two days after so may still be to come.

Mines odd this cycle and I think I ovulated really late or not at all. So think I'm about 6DPO if I did ovulate I should know more as my cycle goes on an my temp stays high.

I've had weird twinges all today. It's more like at the side where my ovaries are though

DebsandScott · 09/02/2017 19:26

I keeping hoping for spotting but none so far but stomach pains definitely feel like af yet I'm very regular so can't be that as another 8 days until due. I seriously hate the TWW!!

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 19:15

Mine seem to be coming and going have been since yesterday.

I'm so bloody impatient though. Either give me a bfp or a period!

88claire · 09/02/2017 19:03

Ohbollocks

Cramps and spotting here too. Only 5/6 dpo so not sure what that's about. Cramps were quite sore felt as bad as period pains. Who knows!

MrsC1982 · 09/02/2017 18:02

I love a good POAS addict Ohb0llocks, I'm guessing I'm now 1DPO so I fully expect by 5 I will be POASing away and be full of imaginary symptoms!

Grin
DebsandScott · 09/02/2017 17:45

Hi all, first time on here and second month TTC. AF due on 17th but been feeling awful last few days, stomach cramps, upset belly and fatigue. Not sure in how many DPOs as just using rough guess and BDing regularly!! So hard not testing!!

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 15:52

Really bad cramps today. Hoping it's not AF on the way.

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 10:13

It's like an addiction!

Lovechild2016 · 09/02/2017 09:58

ohbollocks don't feel bad about the poas, I am a self confessed poas-er essentially from ovulation onwards and nada until 10/11dpo and even then it was so faint I could easily have dismissed it as BFN.
