Ovulated on day 20/21 think I ovulated during the night as yesterday I had mild cramping in ovary area and today nothing

Hope people join in with me and we can do it together

Hi all! Can I join Smile I am in a same sex relationship. Long story short... Tried artificial insemination with a friend for over a year with no luck and had our first iui at a fertility clinic last Tuesday. I am currently 7dpo. Symptom spotting like mad! I currently have mild cramps... Extreme irritability(although this could be because I usually take evening primrose for pms and I was told to stop taking it as it can interfere with implantation ) ive also gone off my food which is very unlike me!!
I am a terrible symptom spotter though and convinced myself all the other 14 failed cycles that u was pregnant lol

Hoping43 · 03/11/2021 18:35

Haha! Funny 😂😂.

I do think I always get a little more discharge prior to AF but just haven’t noticed it being so creamy and lotiony before but think I’m just getting my hopes up again!

Rachipops · 03/11/2021 18:07

Loling at fry up 😂

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 13:41

Dry up not fry up!!

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 13:41

@Hoping43 I think It’s supposed to fry up towards af?

Hoping43 · 03/11/2021 13:35

I have thick, creamy and really white discharge today (11DPO). Can’t remember if this is what I usually get!

Bundaberg84 · 03/11/2021 12:37

oh no @Rachipops, you're heading into a 3WW, so sorry!!

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 12:14

@Sunshine085 thank you! I am going to do one more later when I’ve held my wee because I didn’t do it with fmu but I’m certain af is on her way.

I’ve just eaten a big bowl of chicken noodles and a chocolate cupcake and put my feet up on the sofa… there’s not much I can do other than relax 😊

Sunshine085 · 03/11/2021 11:59

Bfn for me too and I am 11dpo. Spotting for the last 3 days with a really soar lower back 2 days ago, so no idea what's going on with that but I guess once you start ttc your body goes a bit funny. Anyway, period should start tomorrow but expecting it any minute.

@Rachipops oh no, that's a bummer.

@Beck3115, @Curlywurly3 and @giftswap2020 sorry ladies for your bfns today. It sucks!

Did anyone else test today?

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 09:30

Oh no lovely 😔

Rachipops · 03/11/2021 09:22

I think I ballsed up my calculations. I have longer cycles (35-40 days) and previously ovulate around CD25 and today is only CD23. So no wonder my LH tests were all negative and not spiking. I'm at 0DPO :(

We dtd again yesterday so hope to catch ovulation this week. Have to start this 2ww all over again 🤮

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 08:04

I still have an upset tummy so I’m guessing it is a bug 😷

giftswap2020 · 03/11/2021 07:48

Started bleeding today, pretty sure it's AF, so that's me out😩😩

Beck3115 · 03/11/2021 07:11

BFN for me too @Curlywurly3

Curlywurly3 · 03/11/2021 06:33

10DPO BFN AF due Saturday, 1st month TTC #2. Next month I am categorically not testing early, 100%!

Beck3115 · 02/11/2021 17:47

Thanks girls, I’m sure af is coming though judging by cramps and how I feel down there! I will let you know if she arrives!

Rachipops · 02/11/2021 16:31

@beck3115 I can totally see some positives there! I'd be the same doing all the tests. Sending baby dust 💖

@Bundaberg84

I find it to be my duty to throw this link around because I love it so much and I want everyone to know it: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6

At 6dpo, not even 4% of pregnant women will test positive. 12dpo is the "breaking point" where over 80% will test positive. That's why I encourage everyone to try to hold it until then to save heartbreak.

This is so insightful! I'll definitely be holding off a bit longer... if I can haha. Save some ££ to!
Beck3115 · 02/11/2021 15:50

@Curlywurly3 me too hun! I just feel queasy on and off too!

Curlywurly3 · 02/11/2021 15:43

@Beck3115 sorry I wasn’t very clear, I haven’t been 🤢 just 💩 🙈 so sorry for the TMI!!

Beck3115 · 02/11/2021 15:39

@Curlywurly3 I have just done the school run and it was a struggle 😷. I think I’ve convinced myself I’m pregnant to be honest

I’ve just been to the toilet AGAIN! Could this be a symptom or have I just got an upset tummy?!

With DD I didn’t have any of the usual symptoms in the TWW, then right before my BFP, the day before AF was due, I had an awful taste in my mouth, like metal. It was so strong I thought other people would be able to smell it (they couldn’t) Then I went for lunch with a friend, as I walked through the door at home this wave of nausea came over me. I walked straight upstairs and did a test, I was so confident it would be positive and it was.

The two cycles before my BFP I did exactly what I’m doing now, testing early and obsessing. I had two chemical pregnancies. DH made me promise not to test until the day AF was due and I caved the day before because I was so certain.

Whyyyyyy am I obsessing again!!!

Beck3115 · 02/11/2021 14:38

Thanks ladies. I’m convinced as well but my OH just thinks I’m losing the plot. I’ve used internet cheapies as well and they’ve been negative as has an Asda one. I didn’t know Asda didn’t sell frer as that’s what I went for this morning 😔.

I keep going really hot and light headed but again this could just be a bug x

Curlywurly3 · 02/11/2021 14:33

Definitely do a FRER again 🤞🏻 I’ve got an upset tummy and been to the toilet 4 times today, I’ve also just had a little nap on the sofa! (Should be working)
