@FutureMrsSmith @CiaraJ01 I didn't even know what CM was or for. I was like like ew go away. Now I'm like COME BACCKKKK IM SORRY lol

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 19:59

@meetmebythesea welcome!
Yes, we're all going bloody crazy here but the support we all get from one another is incredible!

@nt1992 @Blondeandbroody I never paid attention to my CM before I just did some research online about EWCM and then understood it dries up closer to AF if not pregnant.

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 19:56

@Blondeandbroody Aww no :( maybe put something warm there (not hot). Hope it eases soon. I know this whole process is a nightmare. I just did some yoga and deep breathing to control myself lol.

@meetmebythesea Nice to meet you and welcome to the madness! I am currently 4-5DPO so have some time yet. When do you plan to test?

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 19:43

Okay I can't stand these cramps anymore!! I never get them before AF but then have them alllllll the way through. If these are AF pains and they carry on for my whole period I will cry!! I am usually on for 6 days so I'll have had cramps for like 11 days 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 they hurt so much 😭

I can handle them if they're BFP pains though (for Mother Nature if she's listening)

New to site. Ttc baby #2. I got pregnant without meaning to the first time so this is my first experience of actually trying. I'm now 6 months trying and it's getting harder and harder to deal with every month. I'm sadly over the 35 yr old mark, so I worry a lot that maybe I left it too long. My first baby is almost 3. Should really stop calling her a baby. Lol. Due AF Saturday, maybe. My cycle is irregular. Currently have AF cramps. And about 8dpo. But I've always had cramps before it arrives and this doesn't feel any different. 😔 hoping I can be part of the 2020 club. 🤞

CiaraJ01 · 16/12/2019 19:25

@all I'm sure our bodies listen to us and then decide to do the opposite! 😂 Maybe its preparing us for toddlers??😂

@Blondeandbroody I'm similar to you in that I never paid enough attention before 🙄

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 19:15

@FutureMrsSmith I'm due AF Wednesday too and I've got like a thick stretchy sticky CM not loads of it though 🤨 it's a minefield all this stuff haha I dunno what's supposed to happen before AF as I've never paid attention other than the obvious sore boobs before and then cramps during that happen. I have cramps before and no sore boobs, hard not to wonder if that's a sign or not!

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 18:56

@FutureMrsSmith I have the tinyiest little amount of cm but it's next to nothing

MrsC89 · 16/12/2019 18:55

@nt1992 I could never wait 1 week after af is due to test, who has that will power?!

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 18:47

@nt1992 I believe dried up CM is a sign of AF arriving. I know I'm definitely out, I'm fine with it now though, no point looking back 😊

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 18:35

@FutureMrsSmith is dried up CM a good sign 🧐🧐 hope you're lucky this month and don't need cycle 2😘

FutureMrsSmith · 16/12/2019 18:08

I'm here I'm here!
Thanks @Skygirl1983 for setting up a new thread.
@mellymoo86 that baby dust meme was hilarious 🤣 but seriously, where can I get some?! 🍼😔🤔😂
@nt1992 absolutely no signs of AF. CM has dried up though. App predicts Wednesday as AF day, so we shall see. I'm new off the pill so it could miles away. Last month I had 2 weeks of ridiculously sore boobs, tiredness and craving chocolate. None of these have happened yet. Hoping it hurry's up and then I can move on with cycle 2!

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 17:55

@nt1992 I had two arrive yesterday and they're both gone already both BFN although I saw an indent on both but no colour or anything.

I am not buying any more until I'm late! I've got about 6 ICS left I had 20 whoops hahahaha

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 17:43

@Blondeandbroody it's costing us a fortune😂 I've literally just ordered more FRER and this is the last I'm ordering any if they say BFN I'm accepting it 😂

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 17:42

@nt1992 people with much more control than us that's for sure haha! I have lost count at how many I have taken in this cycle ha ha

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 17:40

@Blondeandbroody I'm terrible I am no use with this waiting carrying on! I've just read that you should wait 1 week until after your missed period to test!! Who can wait that long 😂

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 17:38

@nt1992 you make me feel better about myself and my crazy symptom
Spotting lmao ❤️ my pee was cloudy earlier haha if that helps you at all. Wish I could tell you that you are pregnant!

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 17:32

@mellymoo86 I am the crazy psycho of the group🤦🏽‍♀️ I just want someone to tell me if I'm pregnant or not😂😂

PrettyGirl5545 · 16/12/2019 17:31

@Skygirl1983 thank youu

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 17:31

@nt1992 😂😂😂 Your posts do make me crack up. I don't think I've even seen someone symptom spot so much before lol.

nt1992 · 16/12/2019 17:30

My pee is very cloudy and dark not normally like that when AF is due. Having on/off mild AF like cramps again. Cervix is still high and closed . I'm know you's are probably bored of listening to my shit😂

MrsC89 · 16/12/2019 17:13

@mellymoo86 thank you! I'm here 😀

You are all welcome ladies.

Thought I'd change the name slightly from the monthly threads! But fingers crossed that 2020 is our year!!

I'm on the 2ww now but not going to think about it. Thankfully I have enough to keep me going until the 27th when AF is due. I'm not even going to test. I'm so excited for this weekend and going to the xmas market. Looking forward to some Gluewhein.

@CiaraJ01 yeah I can imagine sharing it in person with him will be the best but least you have options if you get your BFP whilst you're away. Long as you get your BFP - fingers crossed ❤️

I am determined to not buy any more tests once I run out and don't get my BFP this cycle! It's just too dangerous for me I clearly have no control hahaha!

mellymoo86 · 16/12/2019 16:58

Lol fair enough @CiaraJ01 they do cost a bomb!
