Hmm... not sure it's worth me testing. Temp came down again today and had a little bit of pink tinged cm. Pretty confident AF is on her way.

Kay00 · 11/06/2021 22:32

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow AF is due Sun or Mon. I sometimes get spotting a couple of days before hand, but nothing yet... assume another win for the Conceive Plus?

If I'm late it could be due the the Pfizer vaccine I had last week, so I'll probably test tomorrow. Also, I'm due to walk 50k on Sunday so I'd like to know beforehand if I should be extra careful 😅 🚶‍♀️

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 11/06/2021 20:48

Other than pretty bad nausea yesterday and today (trying to not think about it!) nothing at all.
No cramps, no more bleeding, nothing. I usually have pretty bad cramps a day or 2 before AF starts.
If I have a 28 day cycle which is what I had before going on the pill and when i stopped the pill when trying for dd I'm due on Sunday.
I bought some pregnancy tests today, but only had tesco nearby and they are 25miu ones so not sure how sensitive. I really think it's unlikely because we only managed o and o-6 due to my husband being ill (assuming i ovulated based on cm and a positive opk because I haven't temped).
I'm really really trying not to get my hopes up but you guys know what it's like. I don't think it helps that we were waiting to ttc for almost a year before starting so it feels like a really long time.

@SkeletonSkins I do the same with my wardrobe! Been looking through all my work outfits like hmm this would disguise it for a while.

@Juno231 will today be ovulation for you most likely? Hope you managed to DTD again this morning 🤞🤞🤞

@Kay00 when are you due on? Will you test or wait for AF to be late?

Kay00 · 11/06/2021 20:32

@skeletonskins haha! I have wondered if that's where I'm going wrong 😆😆😆 like I'm jinxing myself by thinking about it every day!? Maybe the ladies on here who got pregnant managed to ignore TTC for a day or two and then BAMB! Pregnant. 🤣

SkeletonSkins · 11/06/2021 19:44

Hope you have all had a good week! @WhirlingD and @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow any further signs of anything? Hope you managed to catch up @Juno231 😂 Really hoping AF doesn’t appear @Kay00, do you have any plans to test or will you wait to see what happens with AF?

I’m CD 4 and AF is just finishing up, shorter than my normal period so I do have to wonder if the Conceive Plus is doing something. It has to be the reason I came on my period as it was literally two days later. Hoping this means I might have a shorter cycle.

Just had a clear out of my wardrobe and couldn’t help but think ‘this dress would cover a bump nicely’, and then catch myself and almost tell myself off, as if daydreaming about it makes it less likely.

Kay00 · 11/06/2021 16:15

@Juno231 Did you manage to DTD yesterday too? Defo get in there today if you can!

Yes, i'm hoping AF doesn't show too, it just seems so unlikely...!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow hmm, could be a spot of implantation bleeding... I really hope it is, maybe test in a couple of days time if AF hasn't shown by then!

Juno231 · 11/06/2021 13:57

@Lovebug06 appendectomy?? was it planned or emergency?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow any chance it's a bfp lurking instead? I most often ovulate the same day as my peak but my last cycle it was 2 days after and I haven't had a temp shift today so I'm still in with a chance to BD.

@Kay00 I'm still hoping the witch will stay away

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 11/06/2021 13:07

@Juno231 hope you managed to dtd last night! Do you usually ovulate the day after the peak?

@Kay00 I thought it was the start of AF but it's gone completely now, not had any today. I'll keep an eye over the next few days, I'm expecting AF any time really.

@Lovebug06 oh no, hope you are OK! Make sure you get plenty of rest Flowers

Kay00 · 11/06/2021 10:01

@Juno231 i'm 11DPO today. Temp is fairly static, although a minor reduction (from 36.36 to 36.34). I expect it to come down a little further tomorrow and AF to start on Sunday or Monday.

Juno231 · 11/06/2021 09:55

@whirlingd fingers crossed it's one or the other!

@moocher90 although bear in mind a later ovulation would mean a longer cycle - the LP doesn't shorten off the back of a late OD, it should remain fairly static. So with my CD12 ovulation I'll have a 24 day cycle but when I ovulate on CD17 my cycle is 29 days :)

@kay00 how many dpo are you today?

WhirlingD · 10/06/2021 22:43

@Lovebug06 get well soon!

I've got a bit of cramping today and clear liquid CM. Perhaps AF or perhaps ovulation attempt? I'd take either on CD38!

Moocher90 · 10/06/2021 22:07

@SkeletonSkins and @Kay00 fingers crossed for everyone in their tww or hoping for ovulation and decent LPs

Kay00 · 10/06/2021 22:03

@moocher90 hopefully you'll still get a decent LP, it might mean you get over 30 days long cycle this time. Hopefully this is your luck follicle xx 🤞🤞

SkeletonSkins · 10/06/2021 21:47

@Moocher90 yes sorry, totally understandable, hope my comment didn’t come across funny, fingers crossed we all get our perfect clockwork cycles this month!

Moocher90 · 10/06/2021 21:45

@SkeletonSkins I’m sure for some CD20 for ovulation is good however on a 30 day cycle for me I would prefer to ovulate earlier so at least have a shot at implantation x

Kay00 · 10/06/2021 21:26

@juno231 jump that man tonight!!

@sunshinedaisybuttermellow could be the start of AF? Mine is always a bit stop start

@lovebug06 owch!! You poor thing! When did your appendix start playing up?

Lovebug06 · 10/06/2021 21:12

Hi everyone,

Sorry I disapeared again, I've had my appendix removed and it's bloody painful at the moment.
Currently 9dpo, not expecting anything after this long!
I need to read everything and update whispt I'm laid up doing nothing Grin

Juno231 · 10/06/2021 20:23

Did I mention that today is the start of FW and I forgot to bring opks with me to work? Well I used one on diluted evening wee and it's a good thing I did as it's pretty much a positive! Oops we've had no BD this week so far 😅

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 10/06/2021 20:09

Af still hasn't made an appearance, still just the odd pink tinge on wiping and some very slight blood streaked cm. Not consistent throughout the day though, mostly on waking then a tiny bit mid afternoon. I'm not quite sure what is going on with my cycle this month tbh.

@moocher90 glad all is normal, fingers crossed for a good ovulation date this month! Sorry you're almost at a year though Sad

SkeletonSkins · 10/06/2021 18:27

If I ovulated before day 20 I think I’d cry with happiness 😂

Moocher90 · 10/06/2021 17:35

@Juno231

No just a normal one will do 😂😂. Before CD10 I would worry my endometrial lining won’t be thick enough

Juno231 · 10/06/2021 17:07

@Moocher90 gotcha, I got the impression you were expecting something before CD10 so wanted to temper that a tad but I get it now. Fingers crossed for nice and timely ovulation in that case!

Moocher90 · 10/06/2021 16:08

Yes I’m happy that all is normal and I’m not contending with any other issues other than my thyroid.... I’m aware that it’s got to be a lot higher for ovulation but I feel like I’m on track for an earlier ovulation this cycle as think it was CD20 this cycle and follicles are meant to grow between 1-2mm a day. No endometrial lining yet but to be expected from not long finishing AF.

SkeletonSkins · 10/06/2021 15:58

28mm has blown my mind a bit!

Great news @Moocher90, bet you feel really relieved with that news.

Kay00 · 10/06/2021 15:48

@Moocher90 that's really good news! Defo get the DTD in nice and early, every other day or so to ensure coverage.

@juno231 28mm!! Wow Shock
