TTC first baby #2

[NicolaHazel]

Due to the luck thread starters have, I thought I'd mark a place for the second thread as we are so chatty!

Here's to BFPs for us all :-)

Being a woman seems to come with more than its fair share of aches and pains.

Hormones have A LOT to answer for! :-/

Nicola - I agree! So not fair!
Talking about ov pain, I think I am ov and we dtd tonight so being very hopeful. fx
I got a bit of question how stretchy are male swimmers? is it like ewcm?

I have now taken 1 paracetamol as I'm pretty convinced these are pms pains! Sods law AF will arrive tmz when my CBFM doesn't arrive from Amazon until Thursday...stamping feet!

Where in your cycle are you, Newbie?

Nicola Cd 29

Ah, maybe then. CD21 for me, but pain all the way through :-(

Strange. The pains only started for me yesterday.

Tell me about it! They vary a bit, alternating between specific ovary pain and a generalised dull ache, but they've been ever present since about CD9 (so I got a few days' grace after bad AF cramps!).

I can only think that it's good signs and means you're now wide awake! Which is where you want to be! Hang in there :)

Although saying that if it gets too much maybe book a Gp appt?

I hope you're right!

And it isn't unbearable, just annoying really. But I will do, definitely.

Cramps have returned but still no sign of AF

Newbie when was AF due?

Alwyn ahem...yes excess wind and bloating are flagged on my app on the last few days of EWCM, which I guess is the end of OV.

TMI alert

CM seems to have dried up and turned sticky....which I guess means the end of OV for me. I think this month if I was to go by CM behavior I OV very early in my cycle - between CD10 and CD12. This means the previous month I had wrongly assumed I OV mid to late in my cycle.

DTD on fri and sun....but missed the whole week during OV :(

Hmmm...right ovary pain and more EWCM today.

What IS my body up to?!

Red I'm not sure because this is my first cycle.
Lots of times people say they were out on OV judgement so fx you've still caught it?! There might be a small glimmer of hope x

Newbie That's sounds like ovo signs!? Have you got a OV stick to test it out?

Oh I've done it again. I meant Nicola

red what phone app are you using?

Ha ha...never mind Newbie.

Thing is, I already had this on CD9! And you can't ovulate twice in one cycle, so god knows what's going on!

No sticks yet though as I thought it wasn't worth it on month one post-pill.

What CD are you on today nicola? EWCM doesn't necessarily mean OV. It just means you are very fertile during these days. EWCM helps the soldiers swim and survive.

I try to predict OV when my CM dries up - as in you are meant to dry up after OV and thats just what's happened. I had very fertile EWCM for 5 days and now nothing - zilch. So I guess I OVed at some point towards the end of those 5 days.

newbie I am using Period Tracker. I think there's Fertility Friend as well. But I have always used Period Tracker - its got friendly graphics.

Nicola very wise decision! I've spent too much on sticks as I didn't know you could get them so cheap on amazon! Also I didn't know that you could ovulate first two weeks of cycle so I only started testing on day 14...dumb dumb me :)

Nicola I've got a load of spare ov sticks which I'll send to you with the pregnacare tabs.

newbie there's a free app called iperiod that I used to track cycles, you can add as much or as little info as you like.

red just because you had the ewcm you may have released the egg 24hrs or more later so you may have still caught it! Hope so

I don't think I ever had a proper ewcm! I only seem to have only dry discharge! Hope this doesn't mean I don't ov! But I do get, what I think are ov pains!
I went to shop and got epo now! Hope that's going to help with ewcm! pinkie if I remember correctly you said you took 1000mg a day? But but on the box it say to take 3000mg a day? I am confused now and don't know what to do?! any suggestions?

Hi Red, CD21.

Had exactly the same pain / EWCM CD9, left ovary!

DTD yesterday, so if fertile should catch it!

Oh, and thanks, Queen. :-)

pop I took 3000mg epo a day plus 2000mg Vitex
