December bus - testing first week of december

I would say the creamy cm after ovulation during 2WW is a good sign. I've tracked in the past and after ov mine gets drier and more sticky/gluey and then AF starts! Think if preg more likely to get thicker and creamier than is normal for you x

@Tamalama welcome! I'm 6dpo and AF due 4th Dec. I've been feeling exactly the same as you, including the creamy cm. Thing is before I was TTC I never really took notice of usual symptoms around this time of the month so no idea of its normal for me or not. I don't want to get my hopes up too much as I'm 35 and first cycle of ttc so trying to tell myself it probably won't happen diets time around. But still counting days til I can text!

@Nic555 sigh you're right :( Will do! Good luck to you!

@MrsTwentySeven I have seen lots of positive OPK that led to pregnancy test but all them people had already had a positive OPK about a week before. I would say cos you've been testing the last ten days you're just ovulating late sorry. I wouldn't worry about a short luteal phase though. Ovulation can vary monthly but luteal phase normally stays the same. So sounds like AF will be due later than usual. Get busy DTD. Good luck xx

@LoveRainbow02 oh gosh I have not been keeping upto date properly due to stuff going on at home. I thought you meant you can see a line and believe youre still ovulating! If thats a pregnancy test, sorry didnt mean to shoot it down and say no line! Yes like ceebee suggested FRER?

And no you're not going crazy at all. I'll make you feel better....
Now I'm asking myself if my CB static smiley at CD23 has picked up Hcg instead of LH good Lord the things we convince ourselves of!!! @Nic555 ...is this a possibility ? You know everything ! Say yes and give me hope? Lol!

Sorry read your message wrong 😂. Looks like I am completely mad and imagining lines 😂.

@MrsTwentySeven Yes vitamin c is good also, my friend took it to lengthen her phases and it helped. So I'm not completely mad if you can see a line 😂.

@ceebee21 I'm 9dpo now. Still testing quite early but I literally cant stop myself lol!

Hi all! Hope it's ok to join.

Age 38 (39 next month)
TTC #2
Cycle 9
AF DUE 30th November

I'm 7dpo today. We dtd the day I got my positive opk and 3 days before that. Yesterday I had some ovary twinges/pulling and lower backache. I woke up this morning with more of the same but ovary pain a bit more intense, same backache and abdominal cramping but I just feel like af symptoms are on their way. However, about 10 mins ago I feel wet down there, just been to the loo and I had creamy cm in my knickers which I've not had during any of my other ttc cycles... I've read creamy cm is a good sign but I don't want to get my hopes up...

@Loverainbow02 I'm not sure....as its my first time TTC :/ Yeah I might look into it! And I've heard vitamin C? I also need to lose weight so maybe all those factors might play into it. I may DTD tonight and just see what happens as I should be ovulating today or tomorrow....and just hope this was a one off really late cycle.

I cant see a line btw! Try to distract your mind - go shopping, go to the cinema :)

@MrsTwentySeven How long is your luteal phase usually? I read somewhere that the herb vitex is good for lengthening luteal phase.

So I tested again this morning and feel like I can still see a shadow of a line! Tww is absolutely horrendous and all I'm doing is torturing myself.

Bit behind on individually responding

@Shuckle you're right...only takes one sperm haha
@Nic I starting testing CD10 - flashing smiley until CD22....bizarre!

Welcome newbies and enjoy 2WW everyone :) Hope I don't see some of you on the January thread as thats where I'm headed ....ah its all meant to be eh...:)

Luteal*

Oh my goodness ladies my opk has turned static this morning WHAAAT! CD23 ?? How is this possible....😭 my literal phase too short ?

@AliSxo
I think we r ovulate very close to each other. I got positive ovulation test last night. I think I'm ovulate now. So I will start counting my 1st dpo on Sunday. U r going to start testing before me though 🥴 it is going to be long TWW but let's hope for the best! I really want BFP before Christmas 👈🏻🥰🥰🥰🥰

@meggybug if you're an early ovulator that can only be good, should give you a good strong line on a BFP 😊

@meggybug sounds like it! Fingers crossed for you x

@Blooft I got my smiley face on Saturday so assume I maybe ovulated Sunday? But I didn't do basal temperature and really struggled with identifying the whole EWCM thing so god knows 😂 my cycle is regular as clockwork so maybe I'm just an early ovulator?

Sorry, the above was meant for @meggybug

@AliSxo I might not be exactly 2dpo... I got a smiley face on the clearblue opk on Monday so I assume LH surge then, EWCM on Tuesday, then had the low down ovulation pang sensation Wednesday (this sounds like a really weird Craig David song 😂). So I'm counting it since as 2dpo and I'm day 17 of my cycle, but not entirely sure how long my cycle is, since I've only just had my coil out and not had a full cycle yet since then. So definitely don't go by my calculations, as yours are probably right and mine might be a bit out. X

@Nic555 fingers crossed for a BFP! X

@loverainbow02 fingers crossed for you. It's the OPK that drove you to test 😂 test again in a couple of days x

@Shuckle Totally! Sore breast mostly, constantly tired and hungry and quite bloated but no nausea or sensitive smell

@LoveRainbow02 Feeling very impatient but overall ok, I just noticed that these days it is so hard to get pregnant for women and am worrying a little it might never happen for me. My sister for example tried for almost 30 cycled until she got pregnant. I even bought a fertility nutrition plan form a Pro Dietitian before this cycle to make it more probable so am really having high hopes

@meggybug if you ovulated early then you'll probably have AF earlier or hopefully your BFP. Ovulation can change but luteal phase normally the same. Exciting x

@Blooft @AliSxo I'm worrying I miscalculated my ovulation day now as AF due on 4th but I think I'm 5dpo 😂
