My ovulation day is predicted the 14th, but not sign of EWCM just yet so may be a few days later.

Anyone want some company this cycle?

Is anyone else still waiting? I think I’m out this month. Took another test this morning and BFN. Feeling pretty deflated.

Emilyx00 · 28/02/2024 08:07

@piechipsgravy congratulations !! I’m so happy for you

Westy22 · 28/02/2024 07:44

Ahh @piechipsgravy that's a good line ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations

piechipsgravy · 28/02/2024 07:08

I caved and tested this morning because I had really uncomfortable cramps last night and woke up in the middle of the night again which is usually a sure fire sign AF is in full flow but there was no blood or cramps this morning.

I got this instead...

I'm actually in shock!

@Shortcake06 Oh im so sorry that it may not be your month, last month i had horrible belly cramps and back cramps all through the tww making me think I was going to get a BFP but not had that this month, normally a few days before the cramps and back ache start but not got that yet.

sorry to hear you also suffered from a miscarriage as well, and it is annoying when things mess up our cycles.

Just had a quick look at due date calendar crazy lady if i went into ttc next month if my af comes this week it would put the due date to around the first week of Dec, Ah bless him, my husbands birthday is Halloween lol

Shortcake06 · 27/02/2024 18:59

@piechipsgravy @Rosyposy26 @UnicornPrincessSarah i have everything crossed, hope AF stays away and this is your month 😃😃😃

I'm still cramping away, milder today, still no period but a negative test. Ready for the next cycle now 🥴
i would love to keep in touch with anyone else who is going again next month 😀 is anyone worried about Christmas due dates? My lovely little ones birthday is quite near Christmas and it’s not ideal for them!

I’ll be there next month but yes just want AF to arrive now. However I am feeling frisky which is really odd if im due on

Shortcake06 · 27/02/2024 19:18

@UnicornPrincessSarah November is good 😊 my little boys birthday is as close to Christmas as you can be without being the actual day itself so I’m understandably more cautious about this than both!
hopefully you won’t be going into March 🤞
I’ve never had cramps like this in pregnancy and always had them pre period so sadly I think I am out. I’m due any day now; not had very regular cycles since my miscarriage 😞

UnicornPrincessSarah · 27/02/2024 19:06

@Shortcake06 Thank you, if i have fallen pregnant this month my due date would be around 7th Nov i didn't mind this to much as my gastro team have said due to some of my bowel and digestive issue they would prefer i have a c section birth then v birth, would give me a bit of time to recover before Christmas lol, so if going into march looks like it will be a low key and easy Christmas with hubby doing all the work lol.

Oh no i hope the cramps are just a baby and not the AF witch, i did read some women cramp early in pregnancy and think its a period, i haven't had any cramping since Sunday morning and that only lasted 1 hour 10/11 Dpo when is AF due for you?

Rosyposy26 · 27/02/2024 18:39

im exactly the same as you due anywhere from 28th to 4th March though I’m a bit older at 42. I fell first cycle coming off mini pill. So hoping it happens again soon. The boob pain comes and goes but nothing major. When I fell in December they were so sore and was very sick but baby didn’t grow at 8 weeks was only measuring 5 weeks and very slow heartbeat.

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that, my fingers are crossed for you this month is your rainbow baby month

Yes my boob pain seems to be coming on and off as well nipples are staying extra sensitive though, sorry tmi i here but after 10 days i have finally managed to have a decent bowel movement again lol, last month i was almost going to much every day, i do suffer with ibs but normally when constipated i have pains and bloating not had any of that this month.

are you going to test again or wait now to see if AF comes or is late

have you ever checked your cervix position aswell as mine always seems to be low/ medium thought it was meant to go high during ovulation and pregnancy but i can always feel mine so bit concerned

Rosyposy26 · 27/02/2024 18:39

UnicornPrincessSarah · 27/02/2024 18:21

Oh no i don't drink tea or coffee myself but not too good if you like your morning coffee, has this happened before?
does your boob pain come and go?

The way I'm feeling today I wouldn't say mine was coming feeling very calm, nomally I'm crampy, angry, tearful and full of chin acne and have non of that this month.

oh no so sorry to hear that i have suffered with a lose myself when i was 18 at 7 weeks but back then i dont remember any symptoms beforehand and found out when i was roughly 4/5 weeks, this has always sort of scared me since and now im 34.

I did read one article that said dont really look at discharge for signs but it can be strange if something is different.

When is AF due for you? im due somewhere between 28th Feb and 4th march as cycles range from 28 to 32 day cycles, i did have one year though where i was 2 weeks late for no reason, im not going to be testing till im late myself

@Jellybelly888 @Elixabeth congrats!

No AF for me yet. Keep having some painful cramps but honestly can't tell if they are constipation/trapped wind or period-like. Sometimes I think it's my period but I'm also getting the sharp stabbing of constipation/trapped wind. Preparing myself for AF to come later today or tomorrow as I've made it this far without seeing a BFN which means I've been living in naive hope and it could all come crashing down soon!

BB1215 · 27/02/2024 18:31

@YorkshirePeridot I just wanted to say I also have a short luteal phase and have always had short cycles, 24/25 with around 11 day luteal phase and I have 2 children (I didn’t even know it was a thing until I started trying to conceive my 3rd) but I realised when I looked back iv always had it.

@Jellybelly888 @Elixabeth congratulations 😁great news!

Hi ladies, I hope I’m ok joining? New to this site but seen this thread and been reading intently! I’m 36, PCOS and been trying for 1.5 years. In that time, nothing, not even a whisper of a line on tests. Had some investigations, partner sperm fine, my tubes fine. Been put on a concoction of drugs of metformin for PCOS and also myo-inositol. Recently I noticed my TSH levels for my thyroid were higher than they should be at 8.9. GP will tell you that’s in the normal range, however after a year and a half of no pregnancy at all, I went to the Gp and basically demanded to be put on thyroxine because levels of women wanting to conceive needs to be under TSH level 2.5.

Anyway, 7 weeks after being put on the tablets, we conceived and I got my BFP today at 12dpo, which means baby was conceived on Valentine’s Day!!

still in shock x

congratulations here's to a happy and healthy 9 months

Yeah I am I don’t feel AF is coming slight sore boobs and occasional waves of nausea and decaf coffee taste awful!

I’m had an early MC start of Feb and doctor said take that as my period and had my peak on the 13th. Had some weird pains end of last week and yesterday a dull ache low down in pelvis. Not much discharge only when wipe though some thick creamy discharge last night after I did my run in my knickers.

feel slightly confused but if implantation didn’t happen until last week may be to soon to test and I have been testing like a mad women so going to wait now. (That’s the theory).

Congrats @Jellybelly888 and @Elixabeth !!

Still sending baby dust to those of you who don't yet have AF, you're not out until it happens 💕

Raising a glass to those who are out and joining me on the subs bench. The benefit to avoiding alcohol for most of the month is I had two small glasses of wine last night and it completely conked me out, had an amazing night's sleep! Will definitely stick around for the next round of pinpointing ovulation and counting the hours through the tww 😘

Anyone due to ovulate around Valentine's Day?
Cremant31 · 27/02/2024 14:30

Silently following this as in the same boat, it’s been really helpful reading this thread.
TTC for second child and although it’s only been a few months feeling really dissapointed and upset - I’ve surprised myself by how much I wanted it !
I’ve been doing cheap tests all weekend and caved in and bought a clear blue early detection one today which was a stark negative.
My cycles are anything from 27-35 days but according to the ovulation tests I ovulated around 14-15th Feb.
I've decided to not do any ovulation tests next month or test until later in cycle, it’s been very mentally draining!
Sending good vibes in everyones direction x

@AnnieStar12 @Rosyposy26 Im Also 12/13 DPO today and had an interesting TWW with symptoms from 2/3 DPO up to 10/11dpo then they suddenly stopped/ become less crazy, I'm still struggling with fatigue and some random twinges now and again.
Had one glob/spot Sat evening and again last night but now just back to watery white/ yellow discharge but only in the cervix not falling out.

Still have my fingers crossed for both of you, are you keeping a diary of your symptoms so you can compare if need that's what I'm doing, i have already noticed my symptoms are different to last month

@Shortcake06 Haha I was actually considering to go to the spa and treat myself to some sushi this weekend 😛

I'll definately be around for the next month! Honestly it's been really helpful chatting with others about this experience!
