@gigi318 Definatly before is best I completely agree with you there. It's better for the swimmers to be there before the egg is released rather then the egg be there first. Haha yessss we will!! Did you dtd day before Ovulation, ovulation and then day after? I can't wait for you to do your test I'm literally so excited!! I'm loving through you this month 😂, we've swapped!! Yeah!! 1dpo today it's mad im so glad this cycle has been shorter it seems much faster. Last month dragged so much 😂. Don't worry about your cm hun some people get cm up to when they get their positives 😜

@claireb707 congratulations on the job hun!! And go go goooo!!!! Dtd time! 🤞🤞🤞

@makeafamily19 When did you ovulate hun, today? If so your only a day behind ❤️. My apps have AF due 2nd/3rd November so a 14/15 day luteal phase! How about you? Ahhh yesss hopefully it's shorter then last month that was rediculous 😂😂😂. I'm wondering if it was the pregnacare and that's why this cycle is shorter

Hi @hannylove and @lizziedu49 how are you both? What cycle is this for you? Sorry if you have to repeat yourselves this thread runs fast 😂😂

Makeafamily19 · 18/10/2019 19:53

So hard trying to catch up after being at work all day 🤣

@claireb707 congrats on the job! And the peak!

Any more CM @Gigi318 ?? I bloody hate brown CM, it either gets your hopes up or freaks you out! Hope it's IB! 🤞🏼not long to go now eeek!

@Hewie30 yeah seems we are similar! I'm a little behind you though. Hopefully it's not too long to wait for you! When do you think AF might be due? Hopefully won't be as long as last month now!

Hi 👋🏼 newbies!

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 18:27

@HannyLove oh you will learn! I only joined mast month and within a week I felt like a new woman. It's so so helpful being on here. I'm on cycle 2, 10DPO and AF is due on Wednesday but will test on Tuesday! 💖

HannyLove · 18/10/2019 18:19

@Lizziedu49 @Gigi318
Thanks ladies!
Only a few weeks into TTC, I'm late but very irregular so I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm an overthinker so just joined to see if I could learn from experts lol.
What about you?
Xx

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 18:16

Lizziedu49 · 18/10/2019 17:51

HannyLove · 18/10/2019 17:49

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 16:17

@claireb707 amazinggg!! I'm self employed so that never happens 🤣🙈

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 16:10

Thanks @Gigi318 got my tax refund today too so happy days.

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 16:08

@claireb707 congratulations 🥂 perfect news for a Friday. Woohoo!! New Year, New Start. Yay!!! Oh no. You will have to show us tomorrow but I'm glad the cupboard is in the right place now hurrah!!

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 16:00

Just got confirmation I got the job, HR sorting their bits out now. Start date still in negotiations but could be January to help current team till my replacement is sorted. Bathroom still in progress, he's aiming to finish Monday 😢 but cupboard is in right place now and the floor is down. Gah won't let me post photos (too many today)

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 15:36

@Katie1109 I've been a bit headachey today but didn't get time for a coffee this morning so it could be that? Or the weather? Who knows. Yeah definitely not normal is it.
I know what you mean with the wet feeling I keep going to the loo worrying there is more CM. There was nothing at 2.30pm so trying to leave it until 4ish if I can. Hopefully that means nothing since 1.30pm. But we shall see. I definitely agree about being conscious. I swear I'm like 👀 and before yesterday I was so chilled!
I'm just feeling drained today to be honest. I don't know if it's just overthinking the CM has made me tired or could it be a symptom? I feel exhausted and so hungry! Roll on dinner 🙌🏻

Katie1109 · 18/10/2019 15:32

I’m feeling ok @Gigi318. Had a bit of a headache earlier on but that’s about it. And just that wet feeling all day today, which is not what I’m normally like after af x occasional twinge here and there but that’s probably because I’m so concious about what is going on x how are you doing? x

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 15:09

@Katie1109 I checked my Flo app too when I wrote the last post 😂 exactly - same sort of timing as me. So perhaps this CM is PG related? I don't know??? Call me crazy. But it just doesn't seem right! How are you feeling???

Katie1109 · 18/10/2019 15:02

I must admit @Gigi318 I don't recall having creamy CM right after af. I have just checked my Flo app and I haven't logged any CM for any of my cycles until CD 9/10! More pinkish have just appeared on the panty liner ! Wtf is going on :(

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 14:53

@Katie1109 hahaha don't worry. Never TMI for me. I get it haha. It really doesn't seem like AF. I don't know 🙈 I feel like it could have been an odd bleed especially if you just feel normal. It's so weird. Especially the pinkish CM. I don't know what's normal for you but I don't think I get creamy CM until like CD9/10!! It kinda dries up after AF then goes creamy before watery over O time!!! Ohhhh our bodies are bizarre! 🙈

Katie1109 · 18/10/2019 14:27

@Gigi318 yes it started Monday but my af was not due until Tuesday/Wednesday :( My ovia app says I ovulated on the 1st of Oct but my Flo app says it was 29th of Sept. So if I go by Ovia, my bleeding on Monday was 12DPO, if I go by Flo it was 15DPO. Ahhh so confused!! Yesterday there was nothing at all CM wise or bleed. This morning creamy white CM and early afternoon pinky watery discharge. I am so confused. No other symptoms though, boobs ok not painful at all. No cramps, just feel quite wet down there lol xsorry I know TMI x

@claireb707 sounds good to me babe. Can't wait for you to be in the TWW!

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 14:11

Still flashing smiley but wandfo opk definitely darker than yesterday

Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 14:03

@Katie1109 no way babe! I still think you're PG. Honestly I do! Did the first day of bleeding start Monday? Was that when AF was due? I think you should test on Monday. I don't know, I just feel like something doesn't sound right 💖

@claireb707 absolutely babe. I had it about 3 days before I think on and off! Hurrah. You and Hewie in TWW together.

CM is a little darker now. Like medium brown. I'm loosing my mind so googled IB again and calm. As it says women who haven't been PG before may spot for longer than those who've been PG. i just need to relax as I'm only 10DPO. I just hoped it would last one day. But this is firmly into day 2 now!

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 13:25

Damn I should Google first, yes you can so fingers crossed this is it girls! 🤞🤞🤞 then my 2ww starts

claireb707 · 18/10/2019 13:17

Definite right hand side crampy pains now - ovulation?

Can you get ovulation pain before ovulation as well as during it?

Katie1109 · 18/10/2019 12:28

Ehhh I don’t know @Gigi318 :( just had some pink watery discharge on my panty liner. I’m sooo confused now :(

Blanket update for everyone 🙊 Had some more brownish CM since 9am but just a bit. Hoping it stops soon and I'll be able to relax 🙈

@claireb707 you could still have a peak to come or you may have missed it BUT you have covered yourself with DTD so I wouldn't worry chick. Woohoo!

@Makeafamily19 thank you babe, just really hoping it stops soon and it's a good thing. No cramps or twinges so taking comfort in that! Yay to the flashing one and woohoo you've started to cover it off. Now for the static. Woohoo! Tell me about it. Our area is the same, which is why we're still waiting to buy 🙈

@Raizelrea definitely it sounds like TTC could be a good distraction for you right now and yes, see what those OPKs say. It can't hurt. Yes, so so close. I'm going to test Tuesday which will be 14DPO! I just want completely clear CM again and I'll be able to relax 🙈

@Lizziedu49 it's SUCH a waiting game isn't it. I am just hoping this CM isn't pre-AF spotting randomly early. It shouldn't be, but I can't help but worry 🙈

@Izzie94 I'm glad the doctors aren't worried chick. And definitely, a break may be just what you need right now. Definitely check in with us, we will miss you 💖💖💖

@Katie1109 oh you enabler you 🙊😂 No, I'll still wait until Tuesday I think. Because the CM is still there, I just want it to stop and then I can. They say wait 3 days until it stops to test, so if it stops today then the earliest is Monday/Tuesday anyway 🙈 I literally hate POAS it's so scary 😂🙈 so I am happy to hold off haha! Although nervous a bit too.
So are we sure you're not PG?? Could you be??? Eeeekkk so much going on!!

@Hewie30 excitinggg! And true, when I wake up I just want to get on with the bits and bobs I need to do 😂🙈 exactly girl, I really do think before is best and I know I sound like a broken record but 😏👌🏻 we shall see if it actually worked for me hey!!
Definitely try to be positive. It's Friday!!! Woohooo!!! And you're now in your TWW. It seems like that's come around so quickly yay!!!
I'm okay, just trying to distract myself and not worry that I have some strange AF starting. This CM just needs to stop now!!
