Hello all! Just reading through thread now. Been ill with a uti.

I'm about 6dpo now. Boobs bigger and lots of ewcm and one or two episodes of spotting. Time will tell!

MrsR16 · 16/08/2018 13:27

God, I've (hopefully) got this all to come! Keep persuading DH to DTD 🤣 he's not complaining yet!

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 10:22

@MrsM2017 I hope so!!

sunshine1987 · 16/08/2018 09:49

@MrsM2017 I pray for odd number days so I can have a rest lol

sunshine1987 · 16/08/2018 09:48

Haha @ttcat32 the joys have seduction eh

MrsM2017 · 16/08/2018 09:40

@Delilah7 I get ovulation cramps too - usually the day before and day of a positive ovulation test (very occasionally the day after) ... However like you I've had achy twinges right from about 4/5 dpo, and they're still here, which is weird...? Thinking it's too early for AF symptoms (but who knows!) and hoping it's implantation....hopefully it's the same for you x

MrsM2017 · 16/08/2018 09:37

Thanks for the positive vibes @Chivari, @CrystalBlaze and @FlapJackered - fingers crossed for us this month! Maybe cycle 13 is gonna be our lucky one!

@cupcakesandglitter haha I know - gonna try and hold out til Saturday at the earliest if I can! Only went and bought the frer tests yesterday and now hidden them in the glove box of my car so I don't get tempted to poas!!! 😂 (The crazy things we do, right!?)

"Shagathon"...haha that did make me laugh @sunshine1987 - we did SMEP this month your right! It's exhausting lol!

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 09:02

@ttcat32 morning honey!

😂😂😂😂😂 he can't of said no!
If I'm honest twice in two days is pretty good for me and I'm pretty shattered in general as feeling really dizzy! can I miss a day as I DTD last night?! Please say yes 😂😂 x

ttcat32 · 16/08/2018 08:47

Morning Ladies!

Great news on the menfolk initiating @sunshine1987 @Delilah7 🙌

Poor seabiscuit was not in the mood last night but being the master of seduction that I am I literally stood up and said "listen this is going to happen so either we do it now or we do it after you watch that but one way or another it will be done" who says romance is dead?! 😂😂

@Delilah7 maybe once more tonight just incase it's happening a bit later?

X

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 08:14

@gjchapman I'm very consistent with ovulation pains so it's pretty strange!

gjchapman · 16/08/2018 08:07

Delilah7 I get them before to, right after af finishes until I ovulate and then they go but this time I got mine a day or so after to

gjchapman · 16/08/2018 08:05

It's so amazing to of found this group to keep me positive and from going mad! It's good to know I'm not the only one who turns in to a sex pest around ovulation and drops him like a hot potato after lol! It's also good to know I'm not the only one who still holds out hope even though af is clearly there! And I can share my pain with you all when you get the feeling af is coming and dread going to the toilet incase your fears are right. DH doesn't understand, doesn't really want to know about ovulation and how it's now or never and doesn't understand the feeling when you convince your self it's this time and then it's not. Love to all you lovely ladies xx

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 07:52

I know this isn't a sign of what to come I just want your guys input.

I only have ovulation pains before I ovulate. I've never had cramps after... now I'm 2dpo and cramping. I've got no signs of CM anymore so I know it's not that. Just wondered if any of you guys have had this?

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 07:18

@sunshine1987 yayyyyyy!!!

sunshine1987 · 16/08/2018 06:57

@Delilah7 must have been something in the air last night, DH initiated for the first time since TTC, just the boost needed during this SMEP shaggathon

sunshine1987 · 16/08/2018 06:56

@cupcakesandglitter @FlapJackered definitely a thing! For me my skin goes to shit just as I get EWCM so it's another sign that I'm ovulating that I rely on lol. I get the same when I come on too

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 06:20

@MrsM2017 thank you it's a big step after the MC.

@CrystalBlaze thank you honey hope you're ok thud morning x

@FlapJackered it'll be just his luck he's gonna be smug 😂 they love being right.

@cupcakesandglitter ❤️ just try relax tonight xx

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 01:19

Thought I'd try an OPK just to see... negative 😩 sorry for the multiple posts, struggling to sleep tonight x

cupcakesandglitter · 15/08/2018 23:54

@FlapJackered IS THAT A THING? I've had spots out of nowhere today! I've not eaten anything out of the ordinary either and haven't worn makeup... wondered what it could be! I hope it's an ov sign!!! Not that I enjoy them

cupcakesandglitter · 15/08/2018 23:48

@Delilah7 ah yayyyy! Get it get it!!

@sunshine1987 we've all been there, sometimes it's needed to be blunt and to the point 😂😂

@MrsM2017 I don't know how you have so much control!! I would've used them by now 😂 I suppose it's best to hold out though, they are so expensive! I'm just not going to buy any, that way I don't use them 😂

@CrystalBlaze sounds promising! Biggest thing I find with symptom spotting is trying to realise whether I'm actually feeling something new, or whether it's in my head because I want it so badly 😂

@Patapouf I suppose now you know for your next cycle, stay positive, it's shit but we'll get there xx

FlapJackered · 15/08/2018 23:43

If I get pregnant this cycle I will be amazed, diet has gone to pot, I am drinking a good amount of prosecco.
DH will be so smug if I do get pregnant as he thinks I am silly to reduce drinks and diet.

@Patapouf oh no. Sorry to hear that af turned up. Bad timing on the baby shower front. These things always seem to be the worst timed.

@Crossfitgirl - we don't have a high sex drive at all. It was much better 10 years ago at the start of our relationship but now it's once or twice a week if that. Sometimes once or twice a month.
I am completely the same with initiating - I never initiated at all and now I am always the one to initiate!

@daisiesandpeonies my skin is SO BAD after ovulation. Such a pain in the arse. It also gets really oily. Not pretty. I miss my pill skin.

@MrsM2017 good luck! My test day is 12dpo and I think that is a good time to test to rely that it is likely a true result. 🤞🏻

@Delilah7 yay for DH initiating! That's a really positive step!

Thank you everyone, I think the worst thing about the TWW is the build up, and sheer hope that TTC would have worked only for AF to come along, shatter baby dreams and make me feel like crap.

Thank you crossfit, I’ve concluded that I might have overreacted. I’ve gone back through my cycle data for 2018 and 27 days is apparently my average cycle length and I ovulated on day 14-15 so I’m hoping that won’t be a problem. Plus, I suppose a shorter cycle length kind of means a shorter TWW!

CrystalBlaze · 15/08/2018 22:14

Probably.

CrystalBlaze · 15/08/2018 22:14

Evening ladies. @MrsM it sounds positive and great news @Delilah7!

How are you feeling @Chivari?

I had a weird dizzy spell today and felt a bit travel sick (just while sitting down at work). Boobs are also a bit painful. I WILL NOT test till the weekend though. Probably

Chivari · 15/08/2018 22:03

Hi @MrsM2017 I think it sounds like to may be baby! But if wait to see if AF appears and if not, then do a test. Let us know the result! Xx
