Just wondering if there's anybody else out there that's due their AF around the same time as me. I definitely ovulated last Tuesday as I've been using the Clearblue ovulation digital test, & I also felt pretty sharp pain coming from my left ovary that day. I'm now 5DPO & yesterday & today I've been getting a dull achiness on & off on my left side. If there is anyone that's around the same time as me, I just thought we could keep each other updated on our symptoms☺️ AF not due for another 10 days so I hope it's not coming early 🤞🏻

I'm either 10 or 11 days and DS is 5!yrs old so it's been a while! I remember with him, the night before I took a test I just knew I was pregnant and I was! I just can't remember the sensations now and I'm not getting that feeling this time!

mumoftwobeauts · 25/04/2020 21:37

@Infused how many dpo are you? How olds your other baby? :-)

mumoftwobeauts · 25/04/2020 21:37

I have two already and I keep thinking "I remember this happening" but I really don't 😂😂

Infused · 25/04/2020 21:32

Sorry pressed post by mistake!

I'm not going to cave just yet. This is my second and I cannot remember what happened last time which is really frustrating! I should have paid more attention to what was going on/how I felt etc!

Infused · 25/04/2020 21:31

I'm not going to cave.

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 21:23

Well @Infused if you can be patient enough & curiosity doesn't get the better of you then wait it out if you can. I've heard that lots of people get cramps & can still be pregnant 🤞🏻 good luck x

@mumoftwobeauts this made me chuckle. I'm so curious but I've never done it so I reckon I'd still be none the wiser even if I tried, but I'm not gona lie I'm tempted🙈 I've even wondered if our partners would be able to feel the difference? What do you reckon? Because let's face it, there the ones that would know if it felt any different, what do you think? X

Hey Chlo, I'm either 10 or 11 DPO and due on Tuesday. It's so tempting to test but the cramps are very AF like so I don't want to waste a test if she's going to show her ugly face Grin

mumoftwobeauts · 25/04/2020 21:09

@Chlo2701 haha phew. After I posted I was wondering whether to remove it! Haha

So. I googled and apparantly if your cervix is high and soft you are ready to ovulate or in early pregnancy if already ovulated.

If you're not pregnant it's low and hard.

Basically you should be able to feel it by inserting your finger up to the first knuckle.

If you need your whole finger and it feels soft like your lips (your mouth lips Hmm) then it's a good sign!

Hahahahaha I feel like I'm going insane. I can't believe I've just typed that!

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 21:01

@mumoftwobeauts everything goes on this thread, the more information the better is what I say! I wouldn't have a clue about the cervix thing as I've never checked mine, only because I have no idea what I'm looking/feeling for🙈

mumoftwobeauts · 25/04/2020 20:41

Maybe TMI but does anyone check their cervix? Just checked mine and hits high and soft. Good sign for ovulation or early pregnancy :)

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 20:35

Thanks @Ashworth90 that's made me feel better. I've had a really gurgling tummy today, like windy, & been farting loads since last night😂 so random I know, sorry!🙈

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 20:33

@Bic501 I only had CM for a few days, not had any for a while now, all pretty dry down there🙈

OP posts:
Ashworth90 · 25/04/2020 20:32

@Chlo2701 and @bic501... my CM is a lot less than normal. Don’t let CM make you think you might not be pregnant. I am somebody who normally has a lot and wears panty liners daily, but for the past week I have had barely any 🤞🏻 Never out until af arrives! And yes, keep checking the veins. Best symptom spot I researched online.

Bic501 · 25/04/2020 20:15

I have a FRER in the house although I never used that brand with my other pregnancies. IF I get a positive on those I have cb Digi Aswell to confirm hopefully. Still have super sore and veiny boobs. I had a look after @Ashworth90 mentioned hers lol 🙈 but my CM (tmi) isn't as much as it had been so 🤷🏼‍♀️ that's making me doubt. Have been crampy on and off today, not the constant cramps I have had...aw who knows TWW is defo the hardest part of the cycle xx

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 19:30

@Infused good luck for mon/tues. is that when your AF is due? How many DPO's do you think you are today? X

Infused · 25/04/2020 19:21

Congrats to everyone who has got BFPs Smile and I'm really sorry for those who haven't this month.

I'm having strong cramps which I'm fairly sure is courtesy of AF although I haven't tested yet. Trying to sit on my hands and wait and see what happens on Mon/Tues

Chlo2701 · 25/04/2020 19:10

@Bic501 what test are you going to use? I just wish we could fast forward to Monday 🙈 it's going to drag🙉x

LAG1986 · 25/04/2020 18:17

@Leasha16 have a period cycle or 2, so you know when your period is due, and how long your cycle is. Planning for ovulation will then be more accurate to conceive. Xx

Leasha16 · 25/04/2020 16:54

It's nice to hear a good experience of cycles post pill @Bic501 I swear all I ready is horror stories where the pill has just messed women up! It's makes me so anxious lol. One positive thing is I had a positive OPK cycle day 18 and had a heavy amount of ewcm and ovulation pains so I'm really happy my body appears to have ovulated. And we dtd over the correct days although missed just after ovulation which now I'm thinking we should try next month... But all in all I would say my body seems to be 'working' so far which I'm pleased about.

Like you said @mumoftwobeauts I'll keep testing as I know I'm not out just yet. But if it's not this cycle I'm hoping I get lucky next time. It's nice to hear from people where post pill pregnancies haven't been difficult to achieve Grin x

Bic501 · 25/04/2020 16:13

@Ary123 @Leasha16 I came off my pill in jan, I had a 32 day cycle which was obv different to a 28day cycle on the pill. We didn't try January, tho I wish we had of started. So any we started trying in feb and my cycles have been 29 days and then 31 days again so couple of days out but nothing major.
@Chlo2701 I'm the same, my boobs are totalling killing me, which isn't like me awaiting af. Scared to test so gonna hold out to Monday or maybe Tuesday if I can xx

mumoftwobeauts · 25/04/2020 15:42

@Leasha16 both my pregnancies the frer didn't show positive until 4 days before I was due my period. Got pregnant with my first child after 1 period off the pill which came 4 weeks after stopping (normal pill)

2nd child was the mini pill, only had a withdrawal then pregnant 5 weeks later.

I only stopped my pill on 15th April (last period 4th April - I still have normal periods) but ovulated sometime between 17th-20th (used an opk) so hoping it can happen first time again!! You're not ruled out yet just keep testing :)

Ary123 · 25/04/2020 15:38

Sorry I meant 27th the first time xx

Ary123 · 25/04/2020 15:35

Wow we are very similar then as I last took mine 27th. I feel like if my periods are late it will be because my body hasn’t adjusted to coming off the pill yet and will be irregular rather than pregnant. If my tests come tomorrow I may take one but I am trying to wait until Wednesday if my period hasn’t come by then! Fingers crossed for you, like you said your AF arrives so fingers crossed X x

Leasha16 · 25/04/2020 15:26

@Ayr123 I took my last pill on 26th March so very similar to you. It should technically be my 'gap week' next week. I have worked out to expect my period on 28th April based on 14 days after I believe I ovulated.

I took a frer this morning at 10dpo bfn as suspected Sad. I know you aren't out until AF arrives but I can't help but feel I'm out as it was a 6 days sooner test and not a hint of a line.

I'm now going to have to anxiously wait for my period. Even though I believe I ovulated I'm terrified I won't get a period as it is my first month off the pill so my cycles could be completely out of sink. Currently cycle day 29!
