Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

Ran to the loo after a lesson as I thought I was bleeding or something... found a lovely pool of fresh looking discharge! It’s creamy looking, slightly off white (I don’t want to say brown ... but it’s not far off brown...). 6dpo. Also have tender boobs... but not as tender as I remember they got before my MC ... but then I can’t really remember exactly what I felt during that TWW as didn’t record everything then! Bloody symptom spotting!!!

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 11:30

Thanks @hannah192! Looks like we are cycle buddies, I’m also holding out to Saturday morning if AF doesn’t appear before then Smile fingers crossed for us!

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 11:07

@KatBeCool It’s so so good! Me and DH are big marvel fans and we both cried. You’ll love it! Wouldn’t mind trying to make some babies with Captain America...

Jessikka · 25/04/2019 11:01

I have a suspicion this is going to be a very looooong cycle. I'm cd23. Cycles have varied between 23-27 days.

This day last month I started having pink Cm and started to lightly spot. Today, nothing.
I've had no cramps and signs other than a few minutes of sore boobs a few days ago.

I didn't OPK and temp all month so not sure I caught ovulation ... but this morning I randomly took my temp just to see what range it was In. I can't look for a pattern etc I know that as it's one random temp... but by cd23 every other month my temps have been low by now ready for AF.... that one temp this morning was sky high.

I have a funny feeling this cycle is going to drag on longer than the others and I'm going to be banging my head on the wall!!

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 11:01

@KatBeCool I’m going to see Avengers this evening too! Can’t wait! Trying to avoid people that went at midnight and leaving the radio off just in case 🙊

Hannah192 · 25/04/2019 10:59

@tropicana1 thank you! I’m sure I’ll update the thread either way

@Lola871 sorry AF arrived 😔

@Dollywilde hope you had a lovely birthday! 😂 hopefully that’s not the reason for the headache!

I’m getting so impatient waiting until Saturday to test 😂 I’ve been really busy since ov but today I’m terrible 🙈 I haven’t really symptom spotted this cycle so haven’t noticed anything. I’m really tired this week, but I think that’s just normal. Just need to try and relax for the next 2 days and be patient 🙄

KatBeCool · 25/04/2019 10:48

@MrsEG I am going to the midnight showing of Avengers! I know I'll see spoilers somewhere immediately if I don't.

@FlapJackered it did, and it skyrocketed. I measured it at least a dozen of times in disbelief. I'm still not fully trusting it, maybe I was hot or didn't sleep well. But my boobs are a bit sore, so it's somewhat telling. Starting progesterone today. Told DH yesterday that I'm about to start the cranky hormones, he wasn't thrilled, he knows what's about to come.

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 10:00

@tropicana1 haha, I’m sort of obsessed with my cervix (god the things I never thought I’d say!) - I had a laser procedure on it 2 years ago due to a worrying smear test result and became rather familiar with it at the time, having ignored it for my life until that point!

I’m not great at the hard/soft thing, it’s more that I’ve got quite used to clocking whether it’s high or low (tmi - frankly just by how far in I need to go before I can feel it!) My understanding is that it being high when AF is nearly due could be a good sign for me, but there a strong risk I’m just seeing what I want to (or rather feeling what I want to...)

Thanks for the birthday wishes @keyboard91 Smile

Have a cracking headache today. Of course I’m convinced it’s a pregnancy headache, and not a perfectly normal reaction to the bottle of wine I drank at my birthday dinner... 🤦‍♀️

Meenabeena · 25/04/2019 09:00

Morning ladies
It's 6 days PO for me and I don't feel any different. This is torture Confused

MrsEG · 25/04/2019 08:26

@FlapJackered Ha! DH insisted we go to the midnight Avengers showing at the cinema last night, didn’t get home til 4am... I’m currently wide awake ready to jump on him as soon as his eyes open! Happy waddling!

@Lola871 So sorry AF got you, hope you’re feeling okay.

CD12 today, still cracking on with the SMEP plan but no flashing smileys or temp drop just yet. My guess is I will ovulate on Monday though so cracking on with every other day until then! Has anyone ever had sore boobs before ov? I can’t say I’ve ever noticed it before but they feel really sore and heavy this morning. @Tropicana1 I wouldn’t have a scooby now to feel my cervix either - if it wasn’t for the invention of OPKs I’m not sure I’d have a clue!!

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 08:18

Oh and following on from the bloat or pregnant theme ... my trousers are literally cutting me in half today. I’m sat in my classroom with the waistband rolled down. #feelingfat #lovebeingawoman

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 08:12

@FlapJackered I never look at it anymore 😂 he does all the work, I just lie and think fertile thoughts 😂 we did it everyday for 5 days in my fertile window this cycle ... I was constantly gooey - sperm is GROSS! 😂

Tropicana1 · 25/04/2019 08:09

@Dollywilde any tips on feeling your cervix? (the general your, not specifically just your cervix 😂) - I have tried once or twice but it all just feels a bit weird and mushy up there 🙈 and this is coming from a vet - evidently when it comes to human parts I'm useless haha

@FlapJackered 😂hopefully you don't have to be too active today, waddling around

@Lola871 sorry AF got you!

FlapJackered · 25/04/2019 07:52

🙈 temperature hasn't gone up so sex again this morning, not sure I can look at DHs cock again for a while. 😂 I am going to be waddling around today. Those threat syringes I bought are starting to look quite appealing if it doesn't go up tomorrow! 😂😂

@Tropicana1 @Keyboard91 I never go to bed with my DH as he is a night owl. He also plays video games until stupid o'clock. 🙄

@KatBeCool has your temp gone up this morning?

Keyboard91 · 25/04/2019 07:39

@Tropicana1 I know! He woke me up getting into bed at midnight and it takes me AGES to fall asleep

@Dollywilde I think they could write a book with that title! Also, happy birthday for yesterday ❤️

CD 21, I have 27 day ish cycles so due on the 1st May. DP obliged when I decided I needed to DTD at 5:30 this morning 🙈🙊 when we were ‘finished’ he continued to kneel there squishing my boobs and announced they felt different! So he’s now a boob squishier ;) ive had an off tummy the last 18 hours, don’t feel nauseous but I don’t not feel nauseous... if that makes sense? Nipples are tingly on and off. Boobs are fuller (noticed by me also). Get random things happen on and off but not regular enough to say they were a symptom. 6/7 days until I’ll test. I’m starting to become a bit anxious if I am because it could result in loss #3 :/

Lola871 · 25/04/2019 07:27

Well that's me out for the month! After my last 5 cycles all being around 35, this one was 29 days..... So I guess I'm joining the irregular cycles club! Obviously makes it harder to time DTD. A bit frustrating.

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 00:25

@keyboard91 feel your pain - bloated or pregnant could literally be my username right now!

Dollywilde · 25/04/2019 00:24

Loving the chat about the Flip! Grin

Cd 29 here and no AF to speak of... it’s also my 30th birthday! (Or was before midnight!) DH went out for a wildly decadent dinner. Can’t help but hope it’s my last mega one before BFP.

As I say no AF to speak of and only symptoms are hot nipples? My cervix is sitting very high though so I’m hopeful for a late present at the weekend. Trying not to get hopes up though, particularly since it’s our first real cycle of trying.

Tropicana1 · 24/04/2019 23:02

@Keyboard91 ahh I know how you feel! DH isn't a gamer but he does regularly stay up late working and I haaaate going to bed on my own and him coming up at whatever time when I've probably already fallen asleep!

McHelenz · 24/04/2019 21:38

@lola871 Ah I get you!

Lola871 · 24/04/2019 21:29

@McHelenz I'm certainly no expert but I'm under the impression that not everyone pregnant would get a positive 3 days before AF is due, even with an FRER. Of course if you want to test early then do! Lots of people get their BFP early on here 😄

So I guess what I mean is if it was a BFP 3 days early then awesome, but if it were BFN you wouldn't 100% be out if you see what I mean.

McHelenz · 24/04/2019 21:20

@lola871 too early even with a FRER?

Keyboard91 · 24/04/2019 21:10

Laughing at ‘the flip’!

First day back at school today. I’m shattered. Massive headache (have had them for last 3 days). Just feel generally under the weather. And can’t work out if I’m just fat after 3 weeks holiday that included Easter or bloated. Eurgh!

Top it off, DP is a gamer who goes online 2 times a week at present, and has announced he is online tonight (I knew about) and that he wants to go on tomorrow night. So I’m led in bed, alone, feeling exhausted and fat and annoyed at him. Grr! #needyandhormonal

Lola871 · 24/04/2019 21:05

@McHelenz I'd just go out and enjoy it, as far as I know it'd be too early to cause any problems if you were pregnant! Too early to be confident in a negative test anyway.

McHelenz · 24/04/2019 20:50

What would you guys do? Period due the 7th, Got plans to go out drinking on the 4th. Take a test on the morning of the 4th just to rule anything out? Or just go out and enjoy then wait for a late period?
