id like to call it a 2WW but I know il test on CD10 as I’ve got no restraint at all. I can’t believe it’s been a year of ttc already. I use natural cycles and my ovulation wasn’t ‘scheduled’ for another week but woke up this morning and the app has decided I ovulated 4 days ago. I had a suspicion anyway from my temps so managed to BD the day before and the day of ovulation. Anyone else in the early stages of the TWW? (Or ten day in my case)

@TrishyLou1111 awww huge congrats to you hun! So exciting.

@UnicornPrincessSarah sounds like you’re super in tune with your body/ symptoms which is great! Maybe the brown CM today could be a good sign, I’ve also had yellowish CM but really have no idea if that’s just typical for this point in a cycle? Do you track BBT at all?

dreammama · 18/03/2024 19:10

@YorkshirePeridot implantation spotting maybe? Fingers crossed for you!! Xx

Good luck, everyone, and baby dust to all! Xx

Hi Ladies @Youlooknicejackie1 @Roseberry22 @TrishyLou1111 @YorkshirePeridot @bulletproofcoffee @dreammama @hstanford @jellyfish2 @moosey89

How are we all doing today

Here is how my TWW is going bit of a long post for you to read but may help me and others in the future to see differences and compare

Flo predicted ovulation on 12th March I had ovulation pain and ECWM on 12th and 13th March, Pre mom predicted ovulation 14th of March

Have DTD 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th March so far

So if going off the start of pain on 12th March makes me 6 DPO today

1,2,3 DPO no symptoms normally have painful boobs after ovulation not happened at all so far this month

4 DPO Sat 16th March, From the afternoon I had a scratchy sore throat and felt fatigued, Creamy white discharge
Compared to
4 DPO Feb - Woke up with Sore scratchy throat that keep coming on and off, Blocked ears aswell thought i was getting a cold but never did. My belly had felt like i had done a big ab workout but i hadnt. Lower lumber pain, Feeling a bit sad and emotional that day but didn't cry. Bloated belly and also constipated, Tenderness in both boobs

5 DPO Sun 17th March, I Woke up with a sore throat and felt drained and fatigue Vidi dreams in my sleep sat into Sunday, Creamy white discharge
Compared to
5 DPO Feb - Still constipated or have a lack of bowel movement, It Felt like I had a stitch or tight muscle in the left side of the waist and hip area in the front and back of my belly, and my chest feels tight like a rubberband is being pulled on either side

6 DPO Mon 18th March, I woke up with a sore throat and Stuffy nose, and body aches, also period-like cramps in the middle of my lower belly and back that lasted about 1 hour, When checking the cervix I noticed a smear of brown discharge and later in the day yellow discharge. Fell quite fatigued aswell, belly is bloated aswell
Compared to
6 Dpo Feb Woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck all my muscles ached, Still constipated or having a lack of bowel movement, my Left hip pain felt like a tight muscle and some random shooting pains down my left leg, and my chest still feels tight like a rubberband is being pulled either side

Well I’ve had a two hour ‘nap’ today and cried because my DP has made me a new ‘planter box’ (his words) for the garden and it’s so ugly. Either pregnancy symptoms or AF is fast approaching 🤣

@dreammama @jellyfish2 🙋‍♀️ I've also had more cm than normal, there's also a bit of blood in mine today (7dpo). I can't say I've ever noticed it on precious cycles so I'm choosing to believe its a good sign for all of us.

jellyfish2 · 18/03/2024 13:44

@dreammama hopefully it's a good sign!

dreammama · 18/03/2024 13:01

@jellyfish2 ive been the exact same (currently 5/6dpo) and its been really heavy, creamy yellowish in the mornings and less so throughout the day. No idea what it means though 😅 slightly less today than the past few days tho x

bulletproofcoffee · 18/03/2024 12:26

@jellyfish2 I have the same thing as you. Two nights of insane dreaming. Im shattered this morning too. Think nipples are a bit sore!

Background: potentially 4DPO. I had solid smiley on am of CD13, managed to BD CD 12,13, 14 & 16. Hoping to be my month. Cycle 3 of serious trying and Cycle 6 overall.

jellyfish2 · 18/03/2024 12:21

I've just been to the toilet and sorry tmi but when I wiped there was a lot of creamy/yellowy cm. That's unusual! I wouldn't expect any before my period normally.

dreammama · 18/03/2024 12:01

@Roseberry22 ah similar to me then! We are taking Zita West vital DHA, CoQ10, fertility support supps and then I’m also on high strength Vit D, selenium, NAC… swear I rattle when I walk! 😂😂😂

Roseberry22 · 18/03/2024 10:35

@Youlooknicejackie1 @dreammama fingers crossed it shoots back up tomorrow!

@dreammama me and my husband are taking Proceive multivitamins and omega 3 and coq10 I quite like these but they’ve not being a magic vitamin as still not conceived! They haven’t really messed with my cycle too much though so carrying on with them

Roseberry22 · 18/03/2024 10:25

I’m not checking my bbt now until 11 dpo if I can help it as I find I just worry myself over the slightest of changes!

Ive had the most vivid dreams the last 2 nights as well but unfortunately for me I seem to get this and insomnia in the tww so not a pregnancy symptom.

Does anyone have an CM? The last 2 days I’ve had creamy white discharge so I’m thinking maybe I’m out this cycle as I’ve heard it should dry up but I’m only 6dpo so not sure if it would be too early as implantation wouldn’t have even happened by now!

dreammama · 18/03/2024 08:37

Are any of you ladies taking supplements/ vitamins to aid TTC? I have had 2 early losses and so trying for #1. Found out I have an underactive thyroid so I’m on thyroxine and then been given progesterone and blood thinning injections from day of BFP. But what supplements are you taking yourself? I have been on Zita West for a while but so expensive!

dreammama · 18/03/2024 08:34

@Youlooknicejackie1 lets hope the vivid dreams are a positive sign for you!! I took my BBT again this morning and it’s gone down again, but still above cover line. Thinking I’m going to be out the month based on the trend unless it goes back up tomorrow… xx

And so it begins again… 4dpo
Youlooknicejackie1 · 18/03/2024 08:20

Temp drop this morning but still above cover line. Awful nights sleep too, lots of dreams and waking myself up. How’s everyone else feeling? ☺️

And so it begins again… 4dpo

@Youlooknicejackie1 haha not if it means a BFP! 😁

Youlooknicejackie1 · 17/03/2024 21:14

Is it strange to say I hope you wake up bloated with heartburn? 🤣x

OP posts:
jellyfish2 · 17/03/2024 20:59

@Youlooknicejackie1 positive thinking definitely helps! Fingers crossed 😊 I logged bloating and heartburn at 7dpo when I was pregnant last time so will keep an eye out for that.

Youlooknicejackie1 · 17/03/2024 20:55

@jellyfish2 im thinking Friday if I can hold off until then, il be 10dpo. I only have a 11 day luteal phase normally and my temp usually drops off a day or two before my period so that’ll be a good indication for me. I say this every month but I have a good feeling about this one 🤣

OP posts:
jellyfish2 · 17/03/2024 20:43

@Youlooknicejackie1 what day are you going to test? I was thinking of holding off until Saturday or Sunday but I'm not sure if I have the willpower 🤣

Youlooknicejackie1 · 17/03/2024 20:29

@dreammama I’m not sure I’ve been wondering too. Last time I was pregnant I had a big dip on day 6 but I’m not reading anything into it with that ending up being a ectopic pregnancy I don’t know if the symptoms and BBT from that time are even relevant. I think my ovulation day is correct but i didn’t do a LH test because at the time it was over a week before ovulation was predicted. I have logged EWCM and ovulation pains on both those days though x

OP posts:
Youlooknicejackie1 · 17/03/2024 20:22

@UnicornPrincessSarah how many days dpo are you? X

OP posts:
dreammama · 17/03/2024 20:09

@Youlooknicejackie1 my chart is looking similar to yours this cycle, had a huge temp jump the other day… any ideas why? I’ve attached a pic, are you in agreement with your ovulation day? I feel like mine was the day before NC confirmed.

And so it begins again… 4dpo
