Welcome @falkor32 I'm also using cheapies and CB OPKs this month, I'm CD5 though so few days behind you and have been trying since June. Do you have any idea when you ovulate usually?

falkor32 · 14/10/2019 18:41

@Gigi318 thanks for the warm welcome 🙂.
Feeling okay thanks. Nervously awaiting ovulation - I’m like this every month I start the OPKs, always worrying that I wont ovulate. Also trying to work out the best times to DTD. Hoping to figure out more precisely when I ovulate this month ... fingers crossed.

Hope everyone else is having a good day so far!

claireb707 · 14/10/2019 18:13

Day 1 progress

Nope opk still neg. I really hope it's later than day 10 this time

@flossy12 eeeek that's not long at all
Now babe. Cannot wait!!!

@claireb707 that's amazing!!! Hopefully it will all be up and finished this week then??? Did you get anything on your OPK today??

@Hewie30 probably a cold yes, but hoping it may be an immune system dip and sign of a BFP to come - but we won't get ahead of ourselves 🤣 literally no other significant symptoms. Bit of cramping. Creamy CM but nothing textbook really! Thats good babe definitely good to find out just in case!! And hopefully you O soon!!!

@Katie1109 let's hope it doesn't get heavier. Will you test if its not heavier???

@Peaceandloves yes that sounds like an excellent idea to me lovely lady. Sometimes it can take weeks (and months for your cycle to regulate - a friend took 90 days, then 60 days, now 50!) so let's hope it sorts itself soon!

flossy12 · 14/10/2019 15:57

@Hewie30 it was lovely! Rained for 1 day but the rest were glorious 😆 got a little tan but not as much as we would in the summer aha x

Peaceandloves · 14/10/2019 15:29

@Gigi318 I have no idea what's going on with me. This is three weeks off the mini pill and still no signs. We're going on holiday to bruges this weekend so I might see how things are when we get back next week and maybe do a test then if still no sign and more symptoms.

Aw girls it's so stressful TTC! I hope you all have luck this coming month xxx

Katie1109 · 14/10/2019 15:17

Hi ladies, correction, I have just changed tampax, it's not heavy at all although definitely would not class it as spotting, and it is bright red, sorry for tmi x

@gigi318 Haha! Has to be done! Oh noooo do you, how annoying. What do you think it is? A cold?
I called my doctor's today cos I'd like a blood test for my hormones done cos my cycles are just all over the place. I got a doctor appt 29th, 2 weeks time but at least it's something.

@flossy12 Welcome back hun 😊. Sorry to hear about your morning sickness. How was your holiday?

@Katie1109 Oh noooo 😔. Sorry to hear that hun

claireb707 · 14/10/2019 14:49

Oooh @flossy12 that's so exciting!!!

claireb707 · 14/10/2019 14:48

Oh @Katie1109 😢 (@orcadolph) sorry to hear that.

I'm now cd7 wondering if I'm going to ovulate early again this month so started the opks yesterday.

Am currently cold working from home as we are getting our bathroom done this week, though the guys aren't hanging around, they went from this to this in less than 2 hours.

@Gigi318 yeah it's booked for the 30th ☺️ very excited

Gigi318 · 14/10/2019 14:15

@flossy12 oh wow, yes it really is. Almost out of the first trimester. Do you have your 12 week scan booked??

@Katie1109 oh no babe, I was really hoping it was just spotting 😞 so sorry, everything sounded so positive for you!!! Here's to next month chick. It will happen!!

@falkor32 welcome, how are you feeling??

@orcadolph oh no!! Sorry to hear that. But at least you're now CD1 and you've got a new chance to start again!

orcadolph · 14/10/2019 14:06

I’m out this month, AF showed up this morning ☹️ Here’s to next month

falkor32 · 14/10/2019 13:53

Please can I join in with you all? Husband and I have been TTC #1 since I came off the pill in May, I’m finding this a lonely experience and I’d love some company!

Currently on CD8 just started my OPK’s again - decided to double up this cycle and use some cheapies alongside CB digital advanced to better pin point my surge/ovulation ..

Fingers crossed for everyone out there currently waiting of ovulation or to have a BFP SmileFlowers

Katie1109 · 14/10/2019 13:45

Yeah it’s quite heavy already and painful unfortunately :(

flossy12 · 14/10/2019 13:35

@Katie1109 aww sweetie I'm sorry 😔😔

@Gigi318 I'm 9+4 now ☺️ it's going soo fast 😱😱

Gigi318 · 14/10/2019 13:28

@flossy12 absolutely, hopefully you will feel better soon. How many weeks are you now??

@Katie1109 oh babe nooooooo!!! That came on so soon 😩 is it really heavy???

Katie1109 · 14/10/2019 13:03

Well ladies, af arrived 1 day earlier, so I had 26 day cycle x

OP posts:
flossy12 · 14/10/2019 12:56

@Katie1109 hey sweetie ☺️ the sickness has come a little harder this past couple weeks, and stomach is starting to get slight aches due to muscles and ligaments moving around

Are you testing soon??

@Gigi318 hey hun!! ☺️☺️ yeah it's bab, but it could be a lot worse I suppose, not too long till it should subside now

Gigi318 · 14/10/2019 12:10

@Peaceandloves hey chick!!!! Oohhh all sounds good. Do you know what DPO you are or when AF might be due?? It's so hard to stay motivated and sane, isn't it. When will you test??

Gigi318 · 14/10/2019 12:07

@Katie1109 oh girl, nooo 😞 that sucks. Really hoping it doesn't arrive. This is so frustrating! Urgh, 6DPO for me now and still nothing major to report. Kinda hoping that could be a good thing 🤷‍♀️

Peaceandloves · 14/10/2019 12:06

Hi everyone happy Monday (if that's possible?! Hope all OK.

@katie1109 hope AF holds off and it's good news for you. Its mad how many cross over symptoms there are for PG and PMS!

I've had sore boobs and nipples for a week now, some bloating, some really intense cramps for two days last week and still no sign of my first AF since coming of BC. We are DTD when we can but difficult as OH works shifts and as much as we are both keen to get pregnant ASAP, we are knackered at different times. I'm using the clue app to record symptoms now but feels like not much point till I have a first full cycle.

Katie1109 · 14/10/2019 11:50

@Gigi318 hi girl x thanks for your positivity x unfortunately af like cramps are getting worse right now, had to take some painkillers x my af will probably arrive with vengeance after very light and painless free one last month x boob pain is almost completely gone, just sore nipples now x I’m pretty sure af will arrive by tomorrow morning x

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 14/10/2019 11:25

@Katie1109 oh chick I really hope not. CM stopping could be a good sign, or do you usually notice that? Last month I noticed it dried up around 2 days before spotting so about 11dpo and then spotting started 13dpo. I think last month I had very sensitive nipples early on (but don't think month) and my boobs did feel full but I think I noticed that more nearer AF. I can't really remember and didn't note it this early in Flo last month, it was a bit later. But noted it this time!
You're right, what will be will be. But I'm still keeping up the positive thoughts for you.
Eeeek weeing more is definitely an early PG sign and I googled it last month, the tingly fingers can be PG related carpal tunnel. So 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Katie1109 · 14/10/2019 10:18

Update. I have just realised I weed 7 times since getting up at 6:30 this morning. I only had 1 small coffee and small glass of orange juice with breakfast. Also my hands feel extremely cold and sort of numb feeling in the tips of my fingers x probably completely unrelated, but who knows! x
