Or maybe tomorrow lol... Did Opk yesterday morning, almost positive second line and flashing smilely. Yesterday evening solid smiley and strong positive on IC. This morning second line feinter and defo not as strong. Bbt dip yesterday and significant rise today. So I am thinking today is O day. Do you agree? Or can u get positive Opk and not ov for a couple of days? If that were the case, would it have gotten feinter this morning? Bd'd the last two days and will again tonight. Here's hoping!!! Who else is out there?

@SophieStripe I don't think really I've had any symptoms apart from at 4 days past ovulation I had a weird kinda cervical mucus mixed bleed which lasted two days but wasn't enough for a pad and very gassy and constipated 🤦‍♀️ oh the joys of trying to get pregnant 🤰

beckya82 · 05/02/2018 11:15

Haha ladies, this is going to be a right symptom spotting post isn't it! LolSmile this TWW is bloody torture isn't it tho. Hubby just says what will be will be. Grrrrr

I have had tummy cramps for days, feel ruined in a tired way and boobies now are tender when I walk - don't help I'm too huge in that dept Blush and I just feel a little 'full' down in the womb region .... another week to go! Arghhhh (must sit on hands) Wink

Sophie that's how I think too! Maybe I've just ignored it before ha.

I've actually had lots of "symptoms" but I'm trying to ignore them. When I actually was pregnant before I didn't have any. Apart from a metal taste (that I only noticed as I googled what symptoms should be!). I've had tingly/sore breasts, lots of cramps/twinges including some sharp pains... I just don't know if these are normal for me I was just never "looking" for them before! Kirstylee I'm also 6 days away. Fingers crossed!!!

I've been same with tiredness and gas haha! It's such a stressful tww

Kirstylee95 · 05/02/2018 09:31

@Coconutty89 fingers crossed my period due in 6 days hoping it doesn't arrive hehe ! I've had trapped wind and constipation sorry for tmi not sure if it's a sign tho or not 😩 I'm so tired too I've had to nap most days which normally I do not do !!

Coconutty89 · 05/02/2018 08:33

I keep thinking one more day at a time! I'm gonna test on Saturday when I'll be either 12 or 13dpo.
How is everyone feeling?
I've had some pinching and slight cramps in my lower left side but it only lasted one day...boobs are heavy but I'm ignoring that 😁 and I've had awful lower backache for 3 days!

How is everyone holding out? One week down, one week to go! Except I caved and tested this morning and it was negative. Of course. Idiot.

@beckya82 - I had 3-4 days of intense cramps around the time I thought ovulation was about (first cycle so not tracking O Day), but it was so weird and strange, then several days later potential signs of implantation bleeding as it was Thurs and Fri, pink/brown spotting I noticed before a wee, then nothing. Had nausea, severe headaches, now got a cold. Cramps at 5.15am actually woke me from sleep and think AF could be arriving soon as got some bright red blood earlier but nothing full swing yet. I understand symptoms are same/similar to pms but it was all different this cycle. Guess it's just because I'm paying attention?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

MrsD7 · 04/02/2018 12:32

Hi guys, just had a smiley face opk so will be spending some time with dh today! Have done every other day this month so far so fingers crossed this will be our month!!

FingersXssd83 · 02/02/2018 11:15

Good luck @BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy I'm pretty sure I ovulated this week based on sore breasts and getting milky cm today but don't seem to have had much ewcm. Really couldn't have dtd any more this month. Hope the ewcm doesn't hold us back. Double sigh!

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 02/02/2018 06:41

Well this is the first time in 7 months that I've properly charted. Pretty clear that I ovulated (which is a relief) and we covered all bases dtd so nothing to now but wait. Sigh.

Haven't read everyone's yet been too busy to log on! This will be my second Sophie! Xx

SweetMummy911 · 01/02/2018 12:46

I got my peak fertility (static smiley face) yesterday on my CB digi so I guess ovulation is officially today/tomorrow...in any case my 2ww has begun. Going to give it one more go tonight I think - how many days after ovulation do you continue to BD?

FingersXssd83 · 01/02/2018 12:14

Good luck everyone! I'm 1DPO (cycle 7) and as we're on holiday we have baby danced twice every day for the last week. if I'm not upduffed this time I'll be mega disappointed (AF due Valentine's Day, ooh the romance!)

LovePinaColada · 01/02/2018 12:02

I am 3DPO today as well @SophieStripe! 🤞

That's the hardest thing though isn't it... Only time will tell! Sometimes I wish I had a fast forward button. Today I would Press FF to Feb 14th. I would get a positive pregnant test and then press FF to week 13!!

Kirstylee95 · 01/02/2018 11:26

@SophieStripe I have no idea either it's very strange I don't normally have this type of thing so it's all new and odd to me but only time will tell good luck to everyone

This is defo gonna be a lucky thread I can feel it! Kirstylee not sure what that could be? Perhaps ovulation or implantation?? But seems a little early for implantation... Do u normally spot mid cycle?? This morning I had a big temp rise so FF app recognised ovulation and today is officially 3DPO. Whoop! Anyone would think I was actually pregnant how excited I am by this haha. Little things... Time is defo dragging though I totally agree! I am NOT going to symptom spot!!

LovePinaColada · 01/02/2018 08:18

Good luck everyone, hope this thread is a lucky one. We have tried our hardest this month (this is cycle 9) so I am going to be gutted if AF arrives. Time is dragging!

Kirstylee95 · 01/02/2018 07:58

@SophieStripe hopefully you have a fab outcome and it's a good year for you too ! Xx

Kirstylee95 · 01/02/2018 07:56

@KnitKitty Thankyou I hope it is too I've woken up today and there no bloody cervical mucus to be seen our body's do some strange things and the waiting game is awful ! Xx

MonkeyToucher · 31/01/2018 20:20

sophiestripe sounds like you’ve done it plenty so fingers crossed. I assume I’ve ov’d now as cm has become a bit lotiony, but who knows!?

I really wish I’d written down what cm etc I had when I got my bfp last time around!

KnitKitty · 31/01/2018 19:57

I really hope that's a good sign for you Kirstylee95. Will keep my fingers crossed.

I ovulated some time this past week; I think within the last 3 days. I'm not doing any testing to see when ovulation is yet; I may start after a few cycles as I'll know my body a bit better by then. Just trying to do the baby dance regularly and hope for the best at the moment. Had the good kind of cm yesterday. Does that stop immediately after you're not in your fertile time anymore or can it take a few days, does anyone know?

SophieStripe · 31/01/2018 19:53

@monkeytoucher exactly the same as when I got my positive on opk! I don't know for sure whether I have ovulated or not. Thought I had but still lots of EWCM... sorry... Lol. So more BD tonight just incase. My husband was too tired last night (WTF?! I have to pee on sticks twice a day and wake up at 6.15am to take my temp and you are TOO TIRED?! lol its okay I love him really). We BD on CD 10, 12, 13 and will today, 15. Is that okay do u think??? @biscaytrafalgarfitzroy that graph looks like it could defo be ovulation, my temp rise is no where near that much! Confused I don't know what is normal for me yet though... I should be due AF on 13th FEB. TRYING hard not to take any tests until 14th, or until AF shows... How about you? @beckya82 I'm not sure what those cramps could be? Do u normally get them? Or now you are TTC are u just noticing EVERYTHING? Last month I was convinced we had done it with all the "symptoms" I had. Really trying hard not to symptom sit this month. I think until doesn't arrive it means nothing!!
