@TicklishDreamer it feels like AF/fertile week whizzes by and then the last 2 or so weeks drag! I'm pretty sure I have a longer luteal phase of 14-16 days which just dragssss.

Yep that is a good way to look at it. My husband and all his siblings have birthdays in December too.

Hopefully we can at least enjoy the Bank hol and not be in limbo anymore!

TicklishDreamer · 26/03/2024 10:19

@Fairy0708 ive been having cramps I think AF on the way! Usual CM for pre period too!
it will be onto cycle 3 for me post miscarriage! Looking positive least I won’t have 2 December birthdays!

Fairy0708 · 26/03/2024 10:16

How is everyone doing? I'm expecting AF tomorrow/Thurs. Cramps in full swing! I have had really bad nausea but I put that down to having a virus at the moment and sometimes get nausea before AF anyway.

Cycle 9 anyone?😞

TicklishDreamer · 24/03/2024 14:42

@Fairy0708 i can’t remember with either of my boys my youngest is 3 and I can’t remember if I had anything before hand! With my miscarriage I had increased cm and I think a few cramps here and there! So maybe we aren’t out!

oh no don’t use them I hate them they make me so stressed

@Fairy0708 im due Saturday but I’m certain she’s going to come early!!

potty training I hate it I don’t envy you!

With my son I was convinced I wasn't pregnancy but I was very lucky that he was actually conceived the first cycle so had never previously paid so much attention to my body between ovulation and AF. I know I had cramps, bloating and cm as I had written it all down. I was definitely more distracted as we were moving that same weekend and zero expectation (like I do now as months have gone on!).

In a moment of weakness I almost ordered ovulation sticks today but promised myself I won't use them any more 🫣

Fairy0708 · 24/03/2024 13:59

@TicklishDreamer same! Having them since yesterday, usual bloating, spots etc. due on weds/Thurs but have also had a few shorter cycles here and there so could also be any day.

I'm soooo full of cold as well and trying to potty train this weekend so it's bundles of fun 😆

TicklishDreamer · 24/03/2024 13:40

I’m starting to get AF pains thinking I’ll come on over next few days 😞 how is everyone else

@Fairy0708 hopefully AF doesn’t show up! Fingers crossed!!

@Xxfifixx89 yes keep us updated on when you test!

Fairy0708 · 22/03/2024 21:07

@Xxfifixx89 @TicklishDreamer the cramps subsided but I've been having much more mild cramps on and off since yesterday so pretty sure AF will come! I'm due on Tues/weds.

I also had a LOT of of creamy/watery/sticky cm yesterday too which is usually a sign AF on the way.

@Xxfifixx89 i had sickness yesterday and thought oh is this something but like you I know it could be nothing! I have had a couple of mild cramps today not AF type but I’m not trying to overthink it!
my Cm is creamy but that’s normal for me this time in my cycle!
you never know you might be pregnant first time!
when are you planning on testing! I’m holding out till next Saturday at the earliest I haven’t any tests in the house to be tempted! And I’ve a busy week planned before the school holidays start Friday!

@Fairy0708 how are you feeling? have the cramps carried on?
Ive been getting a couple of oooo is that something twinges today 🤣

@Fairy0708 @TicklishDreamer iv had belly ache since yesterday, feel like im about to start- how are you both?

AF and Cm is very watery/milky (🤢) had a random moment this morning of a sudden “ oh I feel sick” and nothing tastes right today. However, i know that the increase in progesterone can make similar symptoms as AF… so just the waiting game but doubt il be fortunate on my first cycle of tracking.

Has anyone every had implantation cramps?

I'm pretty sure I had it with my first. I had distinct bad cramps one night around 8/9dpo but then it was just mild cramps from there.

I've had cramping sensations on and off since Monday night which feels like my whole lower body is being twisted and pulled. It's in my lower back too. Though it's also not unusual for me to have cramps around now but this feels different.
