@CiaraJ01 there's still time...implantation could only be happening now which is why the strips aren't picking up on the hormone. Try again in a few days 🤗 I know it's hard...I'm 5/6dpo and don't have any symptoms at all which is annoying me lol

CiaraJ01 · 16/11/2019 13:01

Tuesday if the OPK and premon app are accurate, they both predict much earlier than woman log I've been using till now..

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 12:55

@CiaraJ01 when is AF due?

CiaraJ01 · 16/11/2019 12:54

Cheapie one step test but says can detect 4 days before AF. I'm 11 DPO but have AF like cramps 🙄

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 12:42

@CiaraJ01 what's your DPO and what test did you use?

CiaraJ01 · 16/11/2019 12:36

Just took a test cause was too impatient till Monday 🙈 BFN for me 😕

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 11:57

@Skygirl1983 a lot of what we go through can be a good or bad sign, just confuses the hell out of me. I swear I've googled and the read the same stuff a million times now 😂 Ew I don't like DIY, hubby is good at it though so that helps.

@mellymoo86 it usually thickens up after OV like thick and creamy. I have had a read and it could be a good sign but it could also mean missed OV. All the signs pointed at it happening early in the week. Suppose I will have to just wait and see!
I don't envy your packing. But will be worth it when you get there! It's a DIY day in our house today! I'm bored already!

@Skygirl1983 my make up, shoes, toiletries aren't even there yet

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 10:55

@Skygirl1983 hmm have you had this cm in your previous cycles round about this time? I'm good, nothing to report other than my cervix has risen up, I can barely feel it. That's about it. Currently packing for Barcelona and thinking how I'm going to get this lot into a cabin luggage 😂

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 10:53

@Tamalama don't feel bad, I know this whole process is super stressful but we will all get there soon. 🤗

Tamalama · 16/11/2019 10:45

@mellymoo86 yes that's true! I'm on cycle 9 now so I'm just feeling a bit disheartened. Plan to dtd tomorrow so hopefully Tuesday, yesterday and tomorrow will be enough.

stepmumma91 · 16/11/2019 10:43

@Skygirl1983 thank you 😊

@stepmumma91 Congratulations!! 2 BFPs now! The start of a few more hopefully!!

@mellymoo86 I'm good this morning. CM is still EW like this morning, 4dpo (or so I think) I though it had dried up yesterday but not this morning! Have no other feelings of anything else yet. How are you feeling?

@mellymoo86 thank you lovely 🥰

@FutureMrsSmith cycle #1. We've been very very lucky, just hope everything stays ok!

FutureMrsSmith · 16/11/2019 10:24

@stepmumma91 what cycle # are you on?

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 10:19

@stepmumma91 thank you so much, that's useful to know. Ahhhh I'm so happy for you!! 🎉🎉

stepmumma91 · 16/11/2019 10:14

@mellymoo86 of course. Been using the CB advance fertility monitor. Would defo recommend. Very easy to use and worth the money I think. Did all the thinking for me so I wasn't stressing about when to test and what the OV readings were! I got my first 'high' reading at CD9:
CD9 high - DTD
CD10 high - DTD
CD11 high - DTD
CD12 high - no DTD
CD12 peak - DTD x2
CD13 peak - DTD x 2
CD14 OV - DTD

No notable symptoms. Had a some little bouts of nausea and light headedness in the first week after OV but I was also redecorating so that could have just been paint fumes tbh! Some period like cramps 10-14DPO and that's about it really. Been very tired this week and slightly more emotional at stuff on the telly too 😂

No idea if any of this helped but I was taking 900mgs CoQ10 a day, plus folic acid and DHA tablets (have a look at Luisa Zissmans blog) Hubby also been taking some Zita West Vitamen supplements too (when he remembered!). I tried to wait about 15 mins before getting up after DTD and we used conceiveplus which I think is pretty much the same as preseed.

Hope this helps. Will stay on here and watch you all get your BFPs if that's ok!

CiaraJ01 · 16/11/2019 10:07

Whoo 2 BFP!! No denying it now @stepmumma91!
I'd some cramps this morning but may have been poo pains 😂😂 OH is jetting off as we speak so might try a sneaky test tomorrow ahead of AF on Tuesday if she hasnt already arrived.
@FutureMrsSmith you must be the only happy one to see AF here 😂 But glad you can start tracking x

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 09:41

@Tamalama it only takes one try and one sperm, sounds like you are still in with a Chance 😊 I've read that you still can a day after ovulation but maybe not a few days 🤷🏽‍♀️

mellymoo86 · 16/11/2019 09:40

@stepmumma91 yayyy!!! Great news. So happy for you🎉🎉

Would you mind telling us when you dtd, your symptoms at what DPO etc?

@Skygirl1983 how are you feeling?

Ellsbells112 · 16/11/2019 09:24

@Louu99 it could be the implantation blood coming out late as sometimes it comes after 😁

Louu99 · 16/11/2019 09:06

@stepmumma91 massive congratulations!!! 😘😘😘 such good news!

For the ladies that have children already, is it normal to have light brown discharge? I'm 16dpo and my expected period is due tomorrow. My last period was 15th October and the apps say I'm 4 weeks?
Worried after receiving the good news yesterday that my period is indeed arriving! I've been googling but not sure that helps 😂

stepmumma91 · 16/11/2019 09:00

@FutureMrsSmith thank you! 🥰

FutureMrsSmith · 16/11/2019 08:40

@stepmumma91 yay!!!!!!!! Glad that confusion is out of the way for you 😘
You can't deny the result
