@Cleozeta welcome that makes 5 of us lol.
As to symptoms I have none except this (TMI) white stringy cm never had that before. Don't think its an infection though.

Has anyone else every had this cm and how do I record it on ff its not sticky or creamy confused I am

Congrats on the bfp's!! So many, thats amazing to see.

I can join the 9/10 dpo crew. Nothing to report though. Cramps at around 6dpo but nothing since. Boobs not sore so think I'm not there this cycle. It's so easy to try and compare symptoms with previous pregnancy when it was so recent, do any of you do that too?

@anyday88 congratulations fx for a sticky bean x

fnej01 · 04/07/2018 07:36

@Anyday88 many congratulations on the BFP x

HidCat · 04/07/2018 07:35

Thanks again for the well wishes everyone. HCG seems to be getting stronger, which is good lol.

@Spooples when are you testing again? 🤞for you Hun. Careful with the digi. Clear blue digitals are only sensitive to about 50miu I think so if it's negative it may not be correct.

@Pancakes7 have you tested to make sure you're not pg again already?

@Gillead2029 oh no, I think you need to speak to a doc. Hopefully it's one of those weird anomalies but if it's another early loss you need to have them recorded. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this.

@Laney79 sounds like you've had an amazing stay. 🤞 the posh bonks do the trick.

@Lilimum4 @Funkyemzie @KnitKitty loving the crochet!

@Anyday88 congratulations! So so pleased for you. Hopefully the line gets nice and dark in the next few days!

Morning all,

So many talented ladies on this thread! I love crafty things - might have to look into taking something new up! I've been doing a bit of furniture renovation (well painting and decorating some chestbof drawers) but now it's finished I need something new to distract me.

Congratulations! @hidcat and @anyday88 fingers crossed for a nice healthy bean! This does seem to be a lucky thread so hope it continues!

@boboelephant I got a positive on cb ov kit on Monday so just 2 days later than normal on the end. As it's been a bit later we've ended up doing a version of SMEP which isn't a bad thing. I've not had any ov pains though so now of course I'm worrying about whether I have actually ovulated at all - aargh I drive myself crazy! I've only ever had ov pains 3 times so it's not a definite sign by any means & as I don't temp there's always a bit of guess work although I do keep an eye on cm. Planning to jks tonight again hopefully & then the 2ww looms!

MrsLCW · 04/07/2018 07:29

Congrats @Anyday88 can we see?
😘

Jessabean · 04/07/2018 07:25

Congratulations @Anyday88! 🎉 Fingers crossed for a healthy little bean!

All these BFPs are great! Gives me hope that this thread will be lucky for the rest of us this cycle!

Lilimum4 · 04/07/2018 07:16

Congratulations Anyday! That's wonderful! 🎉

Anyday88 · 04/07/2018 06:42

I got my bfp this morning on a FRER! Dh could see it too!
I don't feel like I can trust it 100% yet though!

@Laney79 sounds fab!!! Haha 'combed our table'.... 😂😂
@Funkyemzie what a stunning blanket. So many talented people on here! Yes with the grapefruit juice between af up to ovulation. It is supposed to help with cm. After ovulation from 1dpo to 5dpo it is fresh pineapple- not juice. The bit you want is the core. This is to encourage uterine lining for implantation. 👍

So many of you close to testing! I feel like I'm on my own in cycle stage at the moment. Anyone else around ovulation or just after? I'm 2dpo- just wanting for ff to confirm. @sweetpea0318 did you get your ovulation confirmation?

@MisBit1 that makes 4 of us lol

Are there any more of you ladies at the same dpo as us

Cakelaur · 03/07/2018 23:43

@Lovewinemorethanhusband eek. I got my bfp just before we went to collect our puppy!!! They're defo a good luck charm! 🤞🏻

MisBit1 · 03/07/2018 23:38

@Ells0204 @Lilimum4 @PurpleFushia I’m 8DPO too. Had a bit of cramping over the weekend and swing from thinking maybe to definitely not. I’m a bit scared to test and I’m my head I want to wait until AF is a week late but at other times I think maybe I should do an IC I’m quite tempted to do an OPK as I’ve had strong positives on them post ovulation when pregnant.

Anyone else have really random symptoms?! Since 2DPO my wisdom teeth have been hurting. They didn’t cut until my first pregnancy and have been painful in both the ones I miscarried.

@Hidcat massive congrats to you 😁

@spooples fingers crossed that line darkens!

@tinypaws glad it went well hope things thicken up a bit more for you.

@Funkyemzie that is a beautiful blanket!

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone’s updates, I keep meaning to post more but this thread moves so fast!

Lilimum4 · 03/07/2018 23:05

@Funkyemzie lol sounds just like me lol

Funkyemzie · 03/07/2018 23:02

@Lilimum what a beautiful idea!

I have to admit though I have a hoarding problem..i "collect" wool, just incase I need it. 😂 No, it's not too bad now, had a massive clear out when we moved and donated it to the local charity shop.

Lilimum4 · 03/07/2018 22:58

@Funkyemzie oh me too I'm into craft of any kind just love it, drives DH up the wall I've always got a project on the go. Beautiful blanket you are really talented. I think I'll keep the mobile as a little reminder to look as sometimes. We planted a purple rosebush in rememance of all my lost children this summer which I love.

Funkyemzie · 03/07/2018 22:53

Aww @ells0204 thank you. I would honestly give up work and do crafty stuff all day long if I could!

Ells0204 · 03/07/2018 22:38

@Funkyemzie oh wow look at that!! How gorgeous! I want one! Haha x

Funkyemzie · 03/07/2018 22:35

@Lilimum4 this is my latest project so far. A big blanket for my daughters birthday in August (or maybe just for Christmas). That mobile is just lovely, maybe a keeper?

I actually went crazy on buying maternity clothes from Mothercare after I found out, they're all currently still in the bag they were delivered in unopened up the loft. I can't bring myself to look at them until I need them one day.

@Lovewinemorethanhusband what an absolute cutie!!! Need more pics though. 😊

@hellotoyellow I also use Fertility Friend and I think alot of others do too. It's not pretty but it's very good.

@knitkitty thank you. I think she's just very oblivious to the facts but I've never told her how I feel about what she's done.

I've lost track of who mentioned it first but what day do you start with the grapefruit juice, is it as soon as af has finished up to ovulation and then switch to pineapple for 5 days after?

Lilimum4 · 03/07/2018 22:25

@Ells0204 I echo that about ic only until I'm late well that's what I'm saying lol knowing myself I'll cave but I'm trying real hard not to

Laney79 · 03/07/2018 22:22

@KnitKitty dead posh it was too! Lovely room overlooking the Thames, robes, slippers, his n hers sinks In the marble bathroom, and they gave us champagne at dinner and...get this...they COMBED our table! After the main the waiter literally came with a plate and a special comb/silver rod thing and combed the crumbs away!!!

We have brekkie tomorrow too-so hoping we may get posh bonk number 2 in before we leave-such an ace comp win! I just hope the swimmers have enjoyed it as much and hang on in there for my little egg when it arrives!

I'll try and read back when I get home and reply properly tomorrow xxx

TinyPaws · 03/07/2018 22:20

@Boboelephant Thanks! My symptoms were fairly consistent pre-miscarriage but my body basically went haywire as soon as I got pregnant and it's not back to normal yet.

Seconding fertility friend, I used to use it to verify ovulation and predict when my period would come (I don't bother tempting at the moment as I'm on an ovulation induction protocol but I still keep an eye on CM). Also very good is the book 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility', in fact I might give it a re-read!
