Does anything think these are positive sighs? Or just AF rearing her ugly head? Xxx

Alice1608 · 28/08/2022 19:32

So I'm 11DPO now, did a test on the AM of the 9,10 and 11DPO and BFN! Symptom wise seems to have calmed, apart from constipation and that's been since 5DPO and driving me nuts! So I drunk some prune juice and now I'm half going and half feeling constipated too 🙃 (sorry for too much info). It's super weird though as my tummy is doing all sorts right now and I'm thinking it's because AF is due in 3 days? And they feel like period pains? But them what's the last week been about as I never have cramping until the day before and day of my period. I'm so confused! Xxx

I know it can be exhausting and not quite as enjoyable when it's so frequent and planned but has anyone just tried DTD every other night from the last day of your period onward, without tracking and trying to time it exactly within the ovulation window?

MrsCristiano · 28/08/2022 18:53

@MamaSJ15 if your actual peak is today ovulation is tomorrow. Premom needs to see another reading before it decides 🙄

MrsCristiano · 28/08/2022 18:52

@MamaSJ15 depends on your next OPK annoyingly

MamaSJ15 · 28/08/2022 18:44

@MrsCristiano so premom is now saying my peak is today, and so ovulation us tomorrow? Is that right? Or should it be today?

MrsCristiano · 28/08/2022 11:26

@MamaSJ15 brilliant!!! 🙌

MrsCristiano · 28/08/2022 10:45

@Tropicana1 hope your ok and feeling as sick as a dog, I know that sounds mean but symptoms are good!!

A girl in my work did this lied about ectopic pain and got an early nhs scan. Skipped in with a scan pic later that day. It angered me then and it angers me now. It's not fair when the nhs are crippled as it is xx

Tropicana1 · 28/08/2022 09:53

Been toilet training DD this week so not been on Mumsnet much 🤣
Plus I got really miffed by some posts on the pregnancy board about lying about your symptoms to the doctors to get an early reassurance scan at the epu which just made me raging! 6+1 today, sure the hormones are making me permanently pissed off 🤣

@MrsCristiano yay well done to your DD amazing results! She should be really proud of herself!

@MamaSJ15 yay for peak finally! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@MrsCristiano the rental market is just crazy at the moment!
CD16 here, still not ovulated but think it's close 🤞

MrsCristiano · 27/08/2022 23:09

@MamaSJ15 honestly that's the only way to get properties here too. Either you know someone or be nosey before it hits the market..yea not ttc related but keeps my mind off it at least 😅 I think im CD 17 today and praying I've ovulated. I cannot be dealing with bbt at all. My skin feels hotter that's the best I can do 🤣

MamaSJ15 · 27/08/2022 23:00

@MrsCristiano to be fair they've been really good so far. We were cheeky and knew that the tenant was moving out so one day we noticed work was being done in the house and knocked on the door, they let us go in and take a look around (even though it was totally stripped and looked a mess!), Then they contacted us when it was more ready for a proper viewing which we did yesterday. They were getting a valuation for a rental amount and we told them the max we could afford (knowing how high rentals are at the moment!) He messaged last night to say they've have it valued and it's higher than what we said we could afford but they want to have a discussion to get to a figure that would work for us. Fingers crossed 🤞 meeting them tomorrow.
Sorry, totally not anything to do with TTC there haha.
We seem to be at a similar point in our cycles dont we?

MrsCristiano · 27/08/2022 22:48

Are any of the not pregnant ladies due to test soon? Xx

@MamaSJ15 reread your message and you have viewed 😊 hope the landlord isn't a dick xx

MrsCristiano · 27/08/2022 22:40

@MamaSJ15 oh fingers crossed for the viewing xx let us know how u get on 😊

@canonlyhopexo we really only started DTD last Sunday and that's when it lasted 10 seconds😂..but every time since that including tonight and I think I'm just past ovulation..will take an OPK tomorrow to be sure. I feel a bit sick too but I'm not eating really anything atm. Bloody stress 🙄

canonlyhopexo · 27/08/2022 22:34

@MrsCristiano I have had this at times! This month I've had quite a bit of queasiness which has been odd. Could there be a cause like DTD a lot 🤣, is it across the whole month or just recent days? Could it be ovulation?

MamaSJ15 · 27/08/2022 22:32

@MrsCristiano 😂😂😂 if only!
Maybe worth getting some advice from a doctor then!
Woop DTD this evening so hopefully covered if ovulation eventually occurs (hoping tomorrow).
Also, meeting with a landlord tomorrow for a potential rental property that we've been to view 🤞🤞

MrsCristiano · 27/08/2022 21:57

@MamaSJ15 NO!! Maybe the scanner thing had germs on it, maybe it's pelvic inflammation disease or maybe it's a massive orgasm (unlikely tbh) 😂

MamaSJ15 · 27/08/2022 21:54

@MrsCristiano that's very strange. Have you any idea what could be causing it?

MrsCristiano · 27/08/2022 20:58

Ok ladies I've had cramps after DTD every time this month. I'm now thinking something is wrong. GP appointment if this cycle is unsuccessful. No bleeding just cramps that last for at least an hour.

MamaSJ15 · 27/08/2022 20:50

@alwaysseeingstars the tests are very slowly getting darker and I've been feeling ovulation pain for the last 3 days!!

alwaysseeingstars · 27/08/2022 16:44

@MamaSJ15 please don't worry that you haven't necessarily ovulated, I'd trust your body more than the tests! Mine must've been soo short to be missed completely!

MamaSJ15 · 27/08/2022 08:10

@MrsCristiano yay to bank holiday weekend!! 👍
Test still low this morning 🙄 will do another later 😂

MrsCristiano · 26/08/2022 21:18

@MamaSJ15 enjoy your day 😊 I'm at work ☹️ but bank holiday weekend yay!

MamaSJ15 · 26/08/2022 21:11

@MrsCristiano definitely not, I'm off tomorrow but probably gonna be out most of the day so hopefully we'll both feel up to DTD tomorrow night 🤞
