Ooo @Annny27 that’s good on no tests then, stay strong & 🤞🏻🍀for you

Interesting on the CM stretchy front, I had a day of what I thought was ewcm on day 12 but then it disappeared & CB & IC showed no signs of ovulation. Day 3 of flashing smiles here and I’m really hoping it changes to static tomorrow 🤞🏻

Annny27 · 19/05/2020 08:34

Morning all :) 10dpo here and usually at this point I would be itching to test, but the advantage of having no tests means I am not :D haha. I think I usually spot from about 12dpo so if I haven't spotted by Friday (13dpo) then I may do a test on Saturday which is when AF is due....we'll see! But I am not wanting to see a glimmer of a line and get my hopes up so I want to wait till I am late ideally.

Symptom wise nothing unusual from my normal luteal phase - got the sore boobs and a bit tired. Happens most months :p

@Ejb86 exciting! Yeah that one in the afternoon and make sure you don't drink a fee hours before so its concentrated :D fingers crossed this is it, especially with the ewcm you had yesterday!

@fizzl thats so frustrating! I haven't had an anovulatory cycle yet whilst ttc but it would be so gutting to miss a month 😪😪

@SunnySideUp2020 you are only 8dpo no reason to count yourself out just yet!

@Minster2012 ahhh my cm usually is stretchy a good week before ovulation but everyone's different! Keep tracking :D

@Leok83 ahh that's gutting:( whens AF due?

@glitterfairy1412 it could always be implantation bleeding! Keep us updated if it doesn't progress to AF!

Hi everyone, I'm returning from the last thread after a while away from MN and then some hectic days as I'm a key worker and in the middle of sorting a book series for publishing so my life is all kinds of crazy in the middle of lockdown!

Just wanted to say I continue to wish everyone baby dust and luck on your TTC journeys as I continue lurking in the background!

This morning I woke up to (TMI) weird light pink spotting, not enough to need a liner or pad, four days before my due period. Waiting to see if it gets any heavier as it could be AF arriving unusually early (normally it's on time or late).

Where is everyone else in their cycle?

Ejb86 · 19/05/2020 07:54

Didn't do another OPK last night. This is fmu today though. Wont be able to do another til mid afternoon but at least theres finally been a change!

@Leok83 and sorry for your bfn.. i will join you onto month 6 i think!

SunnySideUp2020 · 18/05/2020 21:18

@Leok83 i am indeed. Only 7 dpo tomorrow though
Going for my check at fertility clinic at 3pm so hoping she can see that i have ovulated at least from scan. And i will go from there

But so far my boobs arent even swollen like normal 7 dpo... so not having hopes at all this month and not looking forward to another bfn.

😒

But if i feel the urge to poas i will do so on Saturday

Minster2012 · 18/05/2020 21:03

@Leok83 sorry it was BFN for you but thank you for letting me know about the flashies, I’m really hoping not for 9 days I only have 5 sticks left!

Leok83 · 18/05/2020 20:15

Evening all!
Thanks @Annny27 for setting up the new thread!
You are definitely very strong and willed waiting for the weekend to test. Have everything crossed for you!!
@SunnySideUp2020 your up next then isn’t it? When are you testing?

@scrumdiddly123 that’s a good line on the OPK, looks like ovulation just around the corner hopefully!

@ELM7 good luck heading into the fertile week😊

@Ejb86 did you do another OPK?

@Minster2012 👋 you are prob still a bit away from ov if creamy CM, I’ve had 9 days of flashing smileys before peak, another time had flashing 1 day and solid the next so can be really variable how long they go for! Keep testing! And DTD regularly!

I decided to test again this eve and still negative, have AF pains now so I’ll be expecting the witch tomorrow. Onto month 6😩

Minster2012 · 18/05/2020 15:59

I’m still lurking, still TTC here & think it’s my first proper cycle since MMC in mid March as 3 bleeds since then. CD15 here & on second day of flashing smiles from CB so I’m hoping ovulation soon but CM is really weird, thought it was turning stretchy on CD 12 but day after creamy/lotion like so I don’t know what it means

Nothing but 0s on ICs

Sparkl · 18/05/2020 15:32

I’m also checking in to keep an eye on those bfps! Sending you all lots of positive vibes for some May bfps 💕

Fizzl · 18/05/2020 14:44

@Annny27 they went from 36 to 36.4 but it did similar last week going from 35.9 to 36.3 before dropping back down to 36 so it's really all over the place this month unlike last month where there was a clear temp shift.

@Ejb86 fingers crossed that's a good sign for you! I don't normally get a positive opk until a day or so of ewcm so this could be a sign your body is gearing up!

Ejb86 · 18/05/2020 14:24

@Annny27 I've just had another load of EWCM when I wiped. It stretched much more than an inch. Have done another OPK so will see what it comes up with.

Ejb86 · 18/05/2020 13:47

@Annny27 it is generally creamy, but then, like this morning, I'll have odd days where I get a bit of EWCM. Think I'm going to try and start temping if this cycle is a write off, try and get a better understanding of what is happening.

Annny27 · 18/05/2020 11:59

Glad you have all joined the new thread :D yes it will take some willpower but I think after months of spending £20+ on tests each month, I owe it to myself to have a break from it 🤣🤣

@fizzl ahh how much did your temps go up by? But yeah you wouldn't have missed the peak given that you are testing more than once a day. My longest cycle has been 37 days with ovulation in day 24

@Ejb86 is your cm creamy? Mine is usually cresmy after ovulstion so that's how I can tell where I am at with my cycle

@ELM7 good luck for the fertile week 🤞🤞🤞

@Ljm0101 no problem 💗 fingers crossed AF stays away!!!

@MilsCookie no worries, we want to hear how those twins are growing too!!

Ljm0101 · 18/05/2020 11:52

Hi thanks for tagging me @Anny27 and setting up a new thread.
@Fizzl I'm right there with you, I had 36 day cycle last month which put my ovulation day at 25 so even if I was having a long cycle I think I would of ovulated by now. Also I've started spotting again this morning not heavy enough for Af which is due Saturday but who knows.
@scrumdiddly123 that looks like it's going in the right direction 👍🏼👍🏼 xxx

Fizzl · 18/05/2020 11:10

@Ejb86 I think I've also now resigned myself to this month being a non starter. The longest cycle I have recorded was 36 days. With a lp of 10 days if I did ovulate that month it would have been cd26 so by now I should be getting positive opk and ewcm and nothing. Unless I'm going for my longest cycle. I kind of just want to move on to the next cycle now. Anyone know when to expect your period if you've not ovulated?!

On the plus side, my skin is looking great this month! I normally struggle with my skin a bit and the doctors have always said they think it's hormonal (joy!) because it does seem linked to my cycle.

MilsCookie · 18/05/2020 10:45

Thank you for tagging me @Annny27 I'm definitely still following you all as I want to see every one get their BFPs!

Ejb86 · 18/05/2020 10:14

@Annny27 I'm cd22 and still no positive OPK. Pretty much thinking I'm not getting pregnant this month! My cycles have been 25 days recently, so could be out in a matter of days.

@scrumdiddly123 I'm glad yours is getting darker! Still barely there here. I'm wondering if I've missed it somehow or if it just hasn't happened. Who knows?

Fizzl · 18/05/2020 10:03

Thanks for setting up the thread @Annny27 That's going to take some serious will power not testing until the weekend! Fingers crossed your early ovulation is a positive sign 🤞

Your opk definitely looks like it's almost positive @scrumdiddly123
At last one of us is heading in the right direction!

I've not tested yet today. Will do shortly. My temps risen today - last month it dipped before I ovulated which I've read is what it's supposed to do so not sure todays rise a good sign! Although I've not really been temping for long enough to really know for sure/see a pattern in my cycles

ELM7 · 18/05/2020 09:46

Morning Ladies

Thank you @Annny27 for setting up a new thread and tagging me.
You have some strong willpower to not test before the weekend. Really hope it pays off and that you then have such a strong BFP.

@scrumdiddly123 really pleased to see your OPKs getting darker.

Cd9 here so just about to start the OPKs again. Although don’t tend to get a peak until around cd15.

TerribleImagination · 18/05/2020 09:38

Haha of course we do!! ❤️ I can’t wait to see more BFP’s on this thread 🥰

Annny27 · 18/05/2020 09:26

Perfect:D @terribleimagination I never know whether you girls who have had your positives want to stay around with us lunatic trying to conceivers haha but I am please you do :D

TerribleImagination · 18/05/2020 09:24
