TTC - First Time! (2)

A lot of us late this month....

I'm now 2 days late & I want to test tomorrow but DH trying to convince me not too, and wait until I'm a week late. What do you guys think?

Since Ovulation I've had ewcm, white thick cm & watery cm?? I usually just get a bit round O. Boobs actually ok which is unusual as usually a prime sign of impending AF. I have had a really bad backache too. However work is extremely busy & high pressure right now so it could just be stress!!

Gah!! I don't know what to do.....

Hey girls, still no sign of af yet. But I was only due yesterday (which was day 29. I thought it was day 28 but 28 is last day of cycle which was Wednesday then day 29 becomes day 1 usually) so I'm on day 30 today. But my 2nd cycle off pill was 38 days (mind you, I took pregnacare that month and I swear that threw my cycle off) regular cycles are 28-31 days but I'm really not thinking anything coz I've had a stressy month, had job interview yesterday (got it) hubs been going for other jobs and I've had an illness in the family which has really upset me, so it's likely a combination has thrown me off a bit. I'm not burying my head though, as much as I didn't think I dtd right days etc, I know there is a tiny possibility I've caught. So although logical me says it's the stress and stuff, I am thinking if there's still no sign of af tomoz, I will do a test Sunday morning. Having said that now though, you watch it will turn up this afternoon lol x

Fingers crossed for you misty! My af was due yesterday too and still no sign - my brain has been doing overtime saying what if what it!!! But first month properly off pill so who knows my cycle length!!

How you feeling mrsj has it all sunk in now? Exciting times!

No I haven't tested mrsjkerry, I honestly don't think I'm pg, I don't feel anything at all and I only dtd 3 times in fw, once 5 days before ov, once 2 days before ov (but that was the "dry" one lol I certainly didn't feel the usual evidence up there or coming back out haha) and once the day after ov, by which time the egg would have been almost gone. I'm not thinking pg at all, I'm just assuming this is one of my slightly longer cycles. It will probably arrive this afternoon/evening coz there was nothing in my morning pee. Can still feel slightly stitchy pains but very low down in my "above the foof" area 😂😂 feels a bit like wind if I'm honest haha x

It so is frustrating. Now I've just come to bed so maybe it will be there when I get up (it never happens overnight, usually in afternoon/evening or first thing in morning, I think it's gravity haha)
It took me a while to get used to my new af symptoms! On the pill I'd get sore boobs and cramps one DAY before af arrived and that would be it! So you can imagine as my body started to get into its new routine, luckily my periods have stayed regular but Christ I've thought I was pg almost every month with the 10-day long boob ache and week long tummy and back cramps before the bitch even arrives 😂😂
And this month is no different. Boobs are sore but don't look/feel bigger or different colour or anything. Only difference is the cramps are very light and a bit "stitch-like" if anything, usually they're really intense but maybe I've got that joy to look forward to tomoz lol.
Oh well. Least it's Friday tomoz so I can slob out all weekend.
Goodnight ladies x

Awww Misty, how frustrating.

Similar here. AF was dyed yesterday & nothing yet. Have different symptoms to usual but has to be impending AF as bfn 2 days ago. Unless my cycle is way wrong this month. No OPKs but went of symptoms for O. AF was always predicted for 1st regardless though.

On the plus side, if not pg, then my literal phase is longer (if O date correct).

This is all too confusing & I agree with earlier posts. What happened to don't even look at a penis or you'll be knocked up!!!! So misleading!!

Evening girlies,
Yeah my instructor says exercise is great in pregnancy! And goes towards an easier healthy labour!
Also one of the women instructors (42) announced she was pg last week... and she was lugging tractor tyres and weights and flat out boxercising... she's very fit but I did think to myself oooof maybe you shouldn't be doing THAT much but everyone knows their own limits :)

Yes Marie I'm the same... like you get taught unprotected sex will get you up the duff, you panic your whole youth thinking omg these sperm are just waiting for me to miss a pill or break a condom and BOOM you're pg.
what a fucking lie 😂😂😂

I'm sat here at the end of day 28 (AF day) with no af 😡😡😡 I'm annoyed coz I'm usually like clockwork, I've had sore boobs since about 5dpo (normal for me) and I have had slight cramps but nothing actually there. My cycles have always been 28 days but since I've come off the pill, they have varied slightly, I've had a couple of 29s, 30's and 31's so I'm NOT thinking I'm pg lol I know I didn't catch the right days and barely dtd in my fw, I haven't been symptom spotting and have no symptoms of pg at all, just the usual bad boobs but I just want it to hurry up and get out of the way!😡😡

Omg ttcnovice you're right! Totally misread the instructions earlier and also in my head the flashing one made more sense to be highest fertility ie woohoo, flashing lights, get cracking!!! Ha. Better get another DTD in sharpish then!!

MrsJ exercise is a good thing! I don't think it can cause problems. I haven't been to the gym today as massively couldn't be arsed but will go tomorrow

Marie and TTC novice you're not out as yet....Think positive! :)

I wouldn't hold your breath for AF mrsjkerry... Those look like pretty definitely positives to me (especially the clear blue one)! Gym is good.. light exercise and just don't over strain yourself! Really excited for you 😊

MY AF is due tomorrow and tbh I'm feeling all the usual symptoms so pretty sure I'm out for this month. Before joining MN I was so in the dark about how much went into ttc! I assumed you DTD unprotected and BAM! I wish it was that simple 🙈🙈

Hope your all having a good week and Fx for more BFP!

Pibbee the non flashing smiley means "peak" fertility (i.e. your LH surge), whereas the flashing smiley is only "high" fertility (i.e. Leading up to the LH surge).

mrsj they are looking good! Cramps and lower back pain are early pg symptoms too so I wouldn't necessarily worry! I know that's easier said than done though!

Nothing to report here, AF due on Monday - haven't noticed any symptoms either way. Not feeling hopeful this month but at least that will mean I won't be as disappointed when AF arrives! In theory anyway!

Looking great mrsj - hope af doesn't arrive but that last clearblue is very strong.

thanks - puts me at ease a little. Last month I came on fine, no spotting. I had some awful pains yesterday but nothing seems to really be coming out. Perhaps I should hold tight for a few days and hope it arrives full force.

I know Pibbee, my af is like clockwork! I know exactly when it's gonna arrive lol which is good most the time but not when I'm ttc coz it seems like it's in such a regular cycle that no sperm can defeat it lol and it's like "do what you want, but mwahaha you know I'll be there!"
And it is. To the dot, every time 😩

I've come sneaking back as I need some advice - congrats MrsJ hope it stays positive and gets stronger

I'm now almost a week late and I've only had some spotting which started after some awful cramps.

Has anyone had this post pill cycle? TMI - it started quite pink, watery and I would have assumed as normal it would have gone into normal period which is what I regularly do as I've never spotted before. Id usually get cramps and get heavier as it goes. But I've got barely anything!
Not quite sure what to do/make of it. Eptopic did cross my mine but 3 tests have been negative so seems unlikely. So confused!

Morning all

Wow Misty you can predict your AF to the hour!? Now that is precisely!

FX for MrsJ!

I had a weird thing this morning. I decided to buy some of those clearblue opk stick things last week, hadn't done any tests as DP was ill so we weren't even DTD anyway so I thought there's no point. According to fertility friend app (which tbh I haven't really been inputting data to properly) my FW was last week (so even more annoying that DP was ill!)

Anyway I peed on one of those sticks this morning more for a larf than anything else, fully expecting to get the not-fertile indicator. But when it finally popped up, it was a smily face! Not a flashing one but definitely a smily! So wtf does THAT mean?! Clearly my cycle is not what I thought.... also this could theoretically mean that when we DTD on Tuesday morning there's a chance!?!? God knows. One thing I do know is I am not gonna obsessively start peeing on these sticks, I can tell from just doing one how addictive it could be!!!

Morning all, hope you're feeling good today mrsjkerry :)
My af is due today, nothing yet but it's usually late afternoon/night it makes an appearance after I've been sat at my desk all day, cramps normally start about 3pm 😩

MrsJ so so pleased for you!!!

AF is 1 day late here but it was last month so no testing until the weekend!!

Wow mrsj congrats!! I know it's early days but that looks like a strong line, doesn't look faint to me at all. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a sticky bean for you! All your hard work DTD looks to have paid off xxx
