@Peach1204 yeah that certainly sounds like it could've been implantation bleeding. Are you still getting it today? Is it small amounts? Do you know when you ovulated? Xx

Peach1204 · 08/06/2020 12:18

@Fran2020 tracking CM has never been anything I have done as I don't know what I'm looking for! The only thing I've noticed since Friday is light brown except one occasion when it was dark. Someone has said possible implantation bleed? Currently on CD 20, AF due Sunday. Having pains, feeling nauseous and headaches. I don't want to test until I'm late though. Xxx

Fran2020 · 08/06/2020 12:01

@notyetamumbuttrying @SarahTTC2020 I wouldn't say it's quite EWCM yet but getting there! Last month I definitely did before ovulation. It all seems to happen very quickly, period gets very light the finishing on CD6 then watery CM starts on CD7. Starting to actually track that too this month! Plus should hopefully get results on first blood test back this week!
Good luck both of you with the testing this week! 🤞🏼

SarahTTC2020 · 08/06/2020 11:53

Hey @Fran2020 good luck! Do you normally get much ewcm?

I'm 14dpo but got some breakouts on my jaw/neck and rhr has dropped 3bpm which it tends to before AF so I think I'm out. AF due on weds!

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/06/2020 11:52

Hi @Fran2020! A lot of ppl say they get ewcm a few days before peak so sounds all good to me!
I'm testing on Thursday at 14dpo. Anyone else?
Hope the blood test goes/went well @Rma13? How long until the results?

Fran2020 · 08/06/2020 11:47

How is everyone? I'm on CD8, getting low readings on my fertility monitor but have watery CM so DTD yesterday and will do every other day until I get the peak (last month it was CD11).

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/06/2020 14:38

Will be thinking of you!!@Rma13 😌

Rma13 · 06/06/2020 14:18

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you! I will obviously update when I get results! 🤞💕

notyetamumbuttrying · 06/06/2020 13:34

@Rma13 was wondering how you were doing. So glad you're getting a blood test! Hope it shows what you want! Best of luck 🍀

Rma13 · 06/06/2020 10:41

Hi everyone hope you are all well! Just to update you all, still no sign of AF, symptoms of pregnancy are being horrific but still not had a BFP 😥 drs have finally agreed to give me a blood test on Monday when I would be 8 weeks! I am extremely nervous as if its negative I'm clearly very ill! Xx

Here’s my chart - blue is temperature and orange is RHR

@Anastacia1 oh it’s difficult to tell, there is a dip CD 12 and a rise but it doesn’t look as pronounced as mine. I can find that 1-2 days before my LH surge my tests get lighter and then boom - they end up SUPER dark. But my temps fluctuate a lot before ovulation. I’ll try and post my chart.

Anastacia1 · 06/06/2020 08:10

Hi how is everyone doing ? So another ovulation question sorry 🙈... so app told me I was ovulating on the 3rd natural cycles tells me I'm ovulating on the 8th ... got the clear blue ovulation test on the 3rd when I was in shops just to see what it says did the test when I got home was negative been testing everyday since and the line is getting fainter ... so question is could I have ovulated earlier ? I've been tracking temp as well and it shows a slight dip around day 12 il attach pics sorry if I'm just repeating myself also I'm starting to get really tender boobs the last two days which is what happened last month when I think I had a chemical ... I had a faint positive then period came two days early x

Haha bless ya @MrsLully I'm also 8dpo and can feel my af symptoms already so that's me out. No point even trying to kid myself as I know my body. Although it'll be interesting to see if this is how I feel when I do eventually get my bfp...

MrsLully · 05/06/2020 13:45

I really shouldn't try to write with a toddler hitting me with a book on the head. I can spell, promise Grin

MrsLully · 05/06/2020 13:43

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry it took me so long to come back! I have an 18 month old DD, she's the best. It's actually my first time TTC because she wasn't planned. Olly just say that I had to buy a second wedding dress and leave it at that!
My boobs have been sore fora couple of days so I went ahead and POS... It was a FBN of course!
How are you all doing? I'm currently 8 or 9 DPO but I'm pretty sure I'm out this month Envy

SarahTTC2020 · 05/06/2020 13:06

@lauralozzle glad you had a chat about it and agreed some steps! That's fab xx

Lauralozzle · 05/06/2020 12:58

Thanks everyone

I had a word with DH - asked him if he still wanted to TTC. He said he does, and we’ve agreed to a few steps to stop him feeling like a ‘tap’ and to try and make sure we are trying at the right time.

I’m almost treating this month as a break, as there’s very little chance we caught. He’s promised to try harder next month.

You know what, I think TTC whilst working from home continually and not going out hasn’t helped things. It makes us feel stuck in a rut, we’ve both been a bit lazy and he’s occupying himself with video games whilst not working because there is not much else to do. He was pretty concerned with the virus and wasn’t even taking a walk once a day - so we’ve been pretty much cocooned in two rooms for weeks and it’s sort of taken the spark out of almost everything being in the same environment constantly.

I’m definitely in the 2WW now - so waiting for this cycle to be over before we tackle it again next month.

Fran2020 · 04/06/2020 21:24

@Anastacia1 thank you! I know, neither did I! Fingers crossed for you too 😊

Anastacia1 · 04/06/2020 20:27

@fran2020 oh fingers crossed it works for
you this month ... I never realised it was so difficult with timings and such

Fran2020 · 04/06/2020 19:01

Yeah definitely is confusing. As we have almost been TTC for a year, I bought the clear blue advanced fertility monitor last month. It made me start testing from CD6 to work out when I ovulate.

Anastacia1 · 04/06/2020 18:41

Oh really my period is pretty regular although last month it came two days early the day after I got a faint positive all my free apps tell me yesterday and today are ovulation days but I've also been using natural cycles which says next Monday is my ovulation day which would also be day 19 ... it's so confusing

Fran2020 · 04/06/2020 17:52

@Anastacia1 I tested for the first time last month and got the peak on day 11. But some people get them much later to like day 19 or so!

Anastacia1 · 04/06/2020 17:45

I only started yesterday because I seen them in supermarket I was originally just using my apps but because they had all said different days I thought I'd try this

Fran2020 · 04/06/2020 17:41

@Anastacia1 what day did you start testing as it can vary so much?
