So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

@mrsCOR

My CP has been high ever since ovulation, to the point I can only just about feel it. My Cm is starting to get thicker now, not much of it.

@Kates21

I have had the opposite. Usually have dry skin but quite oily leading up to AF as I get breakouts.

But my face feels fine today and if anything, the spots I've had are clearing up with nothing new appearing.

Maybe a good sign? Checked CP today and it's gone very soft, feels swollen and high up. CM isn't as much, but still get this wet stringy stuff that is like EWCM but white not clear. Not sure what to think about it!

Hey @avacadoandtoast

I’m mixed minds tbh!
Af due Sunday, so if it doesn’t arrive I’ll test Monday :) x

You are getting all the good signs @Kates21 & @LV1987 🤞🏼

Getting cramps/bloated this morning so dreading arrival of AF (Due Sunday!) - or is it a symptom?! No idea!

@Bethwox - sorry, I’ve never done an ovulation test- so not sure, sorry!

Bethwox · 24/01/2020 08:56

I did a test a few days early this morning.. as well as an ovulation test just to see.. I think I may of put them a bit too close as I have a faintest I'd faint lines on the PG test but I just don't feel pregnant I'm bloated gassy and feel like af is coming.. anyone else had this??

@lv1987

Same!! Spots on chin & oily forehead! I never get spots either, so it’s really annoyed me 😂 I usually cleanse & moisturise! I normally have quite dry skin!

OP posts:
LV1987 · 24/01/2020 07:38

@Kates21 I've also woken up with a nasty break out, all over my chin 😔 My forehead is also super oily. I never really get any spots, so my skin care consists of baby wipes and moisturiser... Guess that's not going to cut it anymore, so if anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful!

@Anny27

So annoyinggggg!! Your 12dpo like me aren’t you?
We aren’t out til af arrives!

@MrsCOR

We aren’t out til af arrives!

I feel a lot more positive today... spoke to my friend last night and she told me about preseed, ovulation kits and trying for a baby tablets, so I think I’m going to look into all of those things! Xx

Bfn for me too this morning but still only 10dpo and AF not due until Wednesday. Although part of me is starting to think this is just a cruel joke from AF now... 😔

Anny27 · 24/01/2020 06:10

Bfn for me this morning. Could potentially be a glimmer of a line but I am not convinced and it wont pick up on camera

LV1987 · 23/01/2020 21:46

@Bethwox pretty sure I'll be out by the weekend too. I can feel AF looming.

AutumnCat · 23/01/2020 21:06

@jenna30ttc I'm just not sure, could totally be imagining it all and I'm so unsure that we timed things right before I ovulated. It could be a combo of wishful thinking and things being different now I'm off the coil as that was only taken out just before xmas. I'm sure it cant be, so definitely not testing until I'm actively late...

Think I'm out 😭 now have the sorest boobs (always happens before AF) bloated to hell and crampy just like before AF 😞

MrsCOR · 23/01/2020 20:39

@Kates21

I used OPKs for the first time this cycle. I started doing them first thing in the morning and in the evening from about CD9. I then got a positive test on CD13 in the evening. A positive test means that your body is preparing to ovulate within 12-36 hours. I got an even stronger positive CD14 morning and a negative on CD15.

Really handy for timing bding - although don't rely on it because ideally you should bd in the days leading up to the positive!

This month we bded CD9, CD11, CD13, CD14, CD15 and CD17.

Hoping that this was perfect timing leading to our bfp!

Hey girls,

So I’m in preparation for next month IF I’m out this month.
Ovulation tests, how do they work? I’ve never used them x

@Anny27

Hope not, just not feeling very hopeful today! But tomorrow’s another day! Good luck testing, let us know 🤗

OP posts:
MrsCOR · 23/01/2020 17:58

@Anny27 glad I'm not the only one!

Does sound promising having brown stained CM! FX for you!!

Let us know how it goes tomorrow!

Anny27 · 23/01/2020 17:47

@polejunkie sorry that AF arrived :( :(

@Kates21 ahh hopefully you arent out! I have days of being hopeful and then days of being pessimistic

@Avacadoandtoast well done for being patient haha. I am a crazy symptom spotter

@MrsCOR same I love line progressions haha! I had spotting for one day at 9dpo (well more like brown stained cm really!) So I am hoping that was implantation. 12dpo tomorrow and gonna test tomorrow

Already nervous about doing the test tomorrow morning- wont be able to sleep tonight I reckon!!

Avacadoandtoast · 23/01/2020 17:38

Hi ladies - I have been pretty patient through the tww but now that we are so close to knowing I am feeling more impatient than ever!! I’ve been super busy with work, so not taken a test yet, going to try wait until Saturday morning I think...AF due Sunday (but I’m on a short cycle) so only 12 DPO at most. 12DPO is only based on half way through cycle, not actually sure the exact timing of it... just want to know now!!
No symptoms - gassier than normal but that’s about all.

Loulou922 · 23/01/2020 17:30

@polejunkie thanks both xx

@MrsCOR

Thank you, who knows... all my cramps appear to have disappeared, which is weird for me. I have lower back ache, cervix still very high! TMI But Cm seems to be drying up, although at times white and creamy!

Who knows! We’ll have to wait a see if she arrives on Sunday! Xx

OP posts:
MrsCOR · 23/01/2020 17:15

@Kates21

Yeah I get that as last month I got my usual AF cramps a couple of days before I was due and I knew I was out even though I was so hopeful that I was wrong!

However, I've known people to have no changes in their symptoms and be convinced that AF is coming... it doesn't and they don't get a BFP until after AF is due!

If you implanted only a day ago at the latest, you won't get a positive test until 13dpo!

I have both of my fingers crossed for you!!! Sending all the baby dust your way!!!
