@hoola23 no abdominal pain just back pain that I've had from the beginning. I think it might be a cervical ectropian which I've had in the past-hopefully that's all it is x got my first midwife appointment tomorrow so hopefully she'll be able to reassure me!

How are you feeling hun? X

hoola23 · 02/11/2021 08:45

@newtolineofduty how worrying for you! I'm sure everything will be fine. Do you have any pain at all? Sending you a hug, keep positive xx

@CShandy01 I had a horrible day yesterday-the brown spotting increased and I had lots on a pad. Staying calm whilst it's brown but worried it'll turn red. EPU just advised to go to A&E if it's bright red and if I get clots! I've booked a private scan for a week on Sunday and it helps me knowing I've got that booked in. Just taking each day as it comes and hoping it doesn't get worse! Xxx how are you hun?

I'm working from home today as I'm feeling more and more awful which I guess is a good sign! X

@CShandy01 ermmmmmm 🤣🤣🤣 it's a box of 30 I think 🤣🤣🤣

Aims1991 · 02/11/2021 06:26

@CShandy01 not sure, I don't have any tests in the house. Every time I test af shows an hour later so I just don't bother now

CShandy01 · 01/11/2021 22:45

@hoola23 how big is the box of internet cheapies?? 😂😂

@plantbasedlondoner @newtolineofduty how are you guys doing? Xx

CShandy01 · 01/11/2021 22:44

@Newbie1987loz it's really hard to say because everyone is different and the OPK's give a general 24-48 hours from when you get your "peak" LH surge (not high, peak) to when ovulation happens. But in reality after peak, you can actually ovulate within 12 hours (this is what happened with me cycle 4). If you really want to know, the best thing to do is keep testing after peak to see how long it lasts. A lot of people test twice a day for this reason - usually mid morning and early evening.

Again, it's just personal and different with ovulation cramps. I don't get them on day of ovulation, I get them before. So I know exactly which ovary I'm firing off every month. I can get them anywhere between a day or two before ovulation, then since I had DD, I get cramps during and after ovulation too 😂 so for me it's hard to determine when I exactly ovulate. Plus each ovary is different for everyone, so one can have more cramps than the other.

If you think you ovulated on the 5th last time, then yes your luteal phase was 13 days that month. However, stress can change this. Also you may have different luteal phases for each ovary. It's so complicated! This is why I think sometimes the OPK's are a bad idea as they become obsessive, and are often misleading because they can't pinpoint exact ovulation. And if you have irregular cycles (like I did) it can be even more confusing! Its ironic that with DD I conceived 2nd time trying with perfect cycles but I used an OPK; and this time round I conceived by checking my EWCM and my own body signs of ovulation, rather than an OPK, and my cycles are all over the shot!!

CShandy01 · 01/11/2021 22:37

@Aims1991 @hoola23 so when do you think you'll test?? Sounds really positive for you both!! I'm crossing all fingers and toes for you 💖🤞🏻

@MrsRosaline that's so weird! Have you had no symptoms at all for AF this time round? Xx

MrsRosaline · 01/11/2021 22:15

I'm OK. @Aims1991. My period is due any day now but weirdly I have zero PMS symptoms that I usually get. No sore boobs, nothing. Usually they start swelling 4 days or so before my period arrives. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aims1991 · 01/11/2021 20:40

@hoola23 fingers crossed for you
@MrsRosaline how are you doing?

hoola23 · 01/11/2021 20:29

@Aims1991 I think I do too🤣 your symptoms seem really strong so I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Zero sore boobs or any other symptoms for me!
