@jessi60 I hope the cramps turn out to have been ovulation.. I feel like that makes it 'worth' the pain somehow? Now that I think of it had some bad cramping on Wednesday, really low in my uterus area and all over not one sided, and interesting my temps have risen slightly the past 2 days but OPKs still low so I'm doubtful that it was ovulation.

Sorry to hear about all these weddings being pushed back, I can only imagine how disappointing that feels! But sounds like you've got the right idea trying to think of the positives that could come of a later wedding like (hopefully 🤞🏻) having your little one there!

@Dex1521 only symptoms for me where feeling sick when i drunk wine in the first week after ovulating, and I got really faint and nearly passed out on a spa day using a Sauna/Hamman. I got a BFN 9DPO and then my BFP 12DPO, both on a FRER! No other symptoms xx

I got another flashing smiley this morning on CB, shocker! 🙄 4th one in a row! and got 0.38 on my OPK even though my last one before bed yesterday was 0.62! 🙄
Mind playing tricks on me now, CD14! 🤞🏼

jessi60 · 20/11/2020 07:59

I got another low OPK and low on my clear blue so don’t really know what’s going on and if yesterday’s was just a false high reading for whatever reason xx

Dex1521 · 20/11/2020 07:59

1 day dpo today let the fun begin...is it too early to POAS yet? 🤣 I’m refusing to buy any actually until at least 10dpo and then I’ll order some FRER off Amazon prime

@GreenApplesYo @AMS19 did you gals have any symptoms during your TWW that you thought might be PG rather than AF and do you remember what dpo you got your BFP? I’m going to “try” not to symptom spot but we all know what I’m like 🤣 does it sound weird that my uterus feels “different” like not cramping but it feels like I can feel it inside me maybe it’s just a placebo affect because I’m thinking about it and thinking about ttc all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Happythoughts91 @DrS44 we delayed our wedding too was meant to be September but all our family live in Northern Ireland, France & Germany so we would’ve only had my mum auntie and sister able to get here for it so we’ve pushed it back until Sept 2023 as we wanted to start ttc so that gives me plenty of time to lose the baby weight and (hopefully) have a baby by then so I’m not pregnant on my wedding day and the thought of a little page boy or flower girl 💐 💍

jessi60 · 20/11/2020 07:41

@AMS19 Yeah I was thinking they were maybe something else unrelated cause of them not being on a side. They feel more like period cramps. Hopefully it’s to do with ovulation though🤞🏼 Was meant to try and have a lie in today with working long shifts this weekend but never mind😂 xx

AMS19 · 20/11/2020 07:28

@jessi60 ovulation pain can definitely be all over too. Generally just after I ovulated I had stomach cramps and they were definitely more central than one sided

OP posts:
jessi60 · 20/11/2020 07:18

I’ve been in agony all night and this morning with the worst stomach cramps😢 I could cry they are that bad. They aren’t one sided like I’ve read ovulation pain is. It’s just generally all over x

AMS19 · 20/11/2020 06:53

@Happythoughts91 sorry you pushed it back so far. I think you definitely made the right decision as having two cancelled would have been horrific! And like you say, you will have a little flower girl or page boy which will be absolutely adorable! Plus you can now TTC without worrying about being pregnant at your wedding! Where are you in the cycle?

@positivitytree2020 looking good!! Hopefully it gets higher today and you peak at some point this evening

OP posts:
jessi60 · 19/11/2020 23:40

Maybe this describes me if my tests tomorrow onwards are low after that one high hmm🤨...

If test line gets darker rapidly and drops very soon to baseline within one day. You have rapid onset. In the next cycle you can do less testing in the beginning but test twice when test line gets darker than baseline’

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 23:36

@CardioQueen It’s nice to have some reassurance when we feel crazy🥴 haha!

I’m starting to maybe wish I was one of these laid back types that didn’t research anything and just came off contraception and went with the flow 🤣 x

CardioQueen · 19/11/2020 23:12

@jessi60 yes I also read this, really good to know. Didn't stop me panicking I had no LH at all, but that says more about me than the article 😂

I also found a video on FF talking through the chart of someone post-BC and it was hugely similar to mine (temps all over the place) and they had a 60-day cycle and ovulated on CD47 like I did in that 57-day cycle! They even had the same name as me. It made me feel loads better 😂

DrS44 · 19/11/2020 23:07

@positivitytree2020 looking good 🌟

DrS44 · 19/11/2020 23:06

@Happythoughts91

Thank you *@AMS19* So we were this June, so 2020. We postponed in March to next June. And we’re just postponed to Aug22. I’m so so gutted, it’s so far away. But it’s the best option for us. I don’t think June will be back to normal and we’ve spent so much money we just couldn’t justify spending it for a potential 30 people. We worked out it would be over 1.4k per person! Crazy!!

So we’ve made the decision to push it back. I’m hope we can have a little one join us on the day. Xxx

@Happythoughts91 oh really?? Ya it's my first month off the pill now hoping I'm extremely lucky but being realistic! That's crazy we were did to get married in June- moved to next June 21 and now decided the same and moved again to May 22 🤷🏼‍♀️ zz
jessi60 · 19/11/2020 22:51

@positivitytree2020 Ooo that’s good🤞🏼 I know I’ve just dtd but I was so tired 🙁 literally hate having to do it like this 🤣 don’t know how people go on like this for months haha x

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 22:38

Tonight’s progression! Hopefully it means somethings happening! 🤞🏼

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 22:38

I just did another sneeky test there before bed coz I’ve got some pains down there, and it seems to be at 0.62 now! 🤞🏼 Hopefully it’ll keep progressing overnight and doesn’t randomly surge while I’m asleep! 😯
DH working late tonight so can’t DTD! 😢 the morning will have to do!

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 22:20

That’s a very interesting article thank you @jessi60! Just goes to show that it’s very individual and some people can be gradual while others might be more rapid! 😊

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 21:07

@AMS19 ha it’s okay. It’s hard to keep track.
I’ve had stomach cramps all day. But they just like general stomach cramps not like one sided that I’ve heard ovulation pain is like X

Oh god sorry @jessi60 I've asked you that a million times! I feel like we need individuals bios for everyone 😂😂

@Happythoughts91 so sorry about the wedding!! What a bummer. When is it now?

OP posts:
jessi60 · 19/11/2020 20:25

Think it’s one of them things I won’t know really 😂 nope don’t do temperatures cause I work a mix of day and nights some times in the same week so my body clock is abit mental. Don’t think it would be accurate!
@positivitytree2020 I got them for £20 online! Xx

Happythoughts91 · 19/11/2020 20:21

Heyyy all. God I’ve missed out. I can’t keep up! I just wrote on the old page 😂😂 I’m going to copy band paste my message in.
Hello to any new girls 👋🏻

Hey everyone just catching up on the comments. Sorry been absent, we’ve just postponed our wedding for a second time 😂🙈

I’m cycle day 19. I use the clear blue sticks and says I ovulated bang on day 14. Exactly the same as last month. (Last month was my first month off the pill)

My cycle last month was 29 days so I’m hoping for something similar this month.

@DrS44 caught up on your comments. Think we are similar. Last month was my first month off the pill and the ovulation pain was insane. I even said to my partner I don’t think I can do this again lol. It was purely on my left side. This month being my welcome month. No pain at all. Wouldn’t even know!

Don’t think this month is my month. I have no symptoms at all! Last month I was symptom spotting like mad. As I seemed to have everything lol but I think that was due to coming off the pill.

@GreenApplesYo @AMS19 lovely to hear your both doing well. Did you girls have any symptoms or was a surprise when you tested?
