TTC first baby #3

[Popinda]

So here is another thread. Good luck everyone! baby dust everywhere!

Make sure your luck rubs off on the rest of us pop. I hope you'll stick around!

Yes...would be nice for all the preggers lot to appear every now and then! :-)

Oh there you are!

Pop did you feel bloated? And want to suck your tummy in the week post OV? I know it sounds strange

Aww I'm totally freaked out. I just woke up at 3am with cramps on my left hand side (never experienced before) Felt slightly like the ovary pain again but duller. Went to loo and thought while I was there I'd POAS. TMI warming...I collected some sort of gunk in my cup along with wee :( it looked like sperm but I haven't DTD since the weekend. What is it and why am I cramping so early on DPO 4!!

newbie wasn't bloated. I actually haven't had that many symptoms, or put it like this all symptoms I had were much milder than af symptom, except feeling sick, I never have that so that gave it away for me! That was about 7 dpo. As someone said, body knew before technology could pick it up!
Newbie maybe you implanting, I had lot of cm after I got pg. maybe is that! I felt bit of pain in my ovaries now and then, but didn't pay any attention to it! Still having cramps now.

Pop thank you for trying to help :) The cramps lasted an hour. Got about 20 min sleep after that and now off to work I go...oh joy! I can still feel something going on but it's a dull ache. I suppose it could be the shredding of the uterus or whatever. I do really hope it was implantation although the books say that only happens 6-12 DPO so I would be 2 days early...but what do the books know anyway. Maybe my body is super quick :) x

Oh great. Now that I'm fully awake te cramps are back. It's very similar to the ovulation pain I experienced. Why would it be similar to that? Surely implantation would be different! Deff not a AF pain. More like a strong stich feeling and my stomach tightening like I'm breathing in a lot. Oh maybe my stomach is contracting while the egg floats down the tube before embedding...I'm sure I read that somewhere!

Maybe I'm so worked up I am now imagining all this...surely not

I had cramping / ovary pain almost all month last month, Newbie. God knows why.

It could be pregnancy. It may not...don't get your hopes up.

Mclairey are you feeling any strange symptoms yet?

Nicola this is a cruel process! How's your dipping going?

Pop I deffinately have more cm then usual...sorry for this eating brekkie

It is cruel, Newbie. I hope all your symptoms lead to a BFP, I do :-)

Dipped last night and negative, but still early days. Still paranoid about not ovulating! And I'm not sure my wee will ever be right for OPKs as I don't go that long without drinking! I just scrape 2 hours with my first post-work wee due to travel time!

I'm flitting between TTC and trying to convince myself we are JSing. Trying to manage disappointment. :-/

I'll keep fx for you.

I'm worried I've just got the tummy bug again :(

That wouldn't give you excess CM though?!

No but I feel rubbish. My head is hot and I've got cramping. All the info sites say you wouldn't experience cramping so early on. If I was pregnant I wouldn't feel so cramping 4DPO. Ahhh I just want to know what's wrong with me :(

I also have the need to burp but I can't...can't remember what the term for that is.

I call that annoying!

I was really burpy last month. It is irritating, admittedly.

I can tell I'm heading for a big let down :(

This is cruel process! I don't know if it's just because we notice it all more now or what. But I have never had a bleed mid-cycle before and that first month of TTC - there is was! It's like one big joke our bodies play on us until we get the BFP. That's the only way we will really know what we are feeling and experiencing is pg or just something else...

Hope you feel better soon newbie. That or get the good news to why you feel so rotten!

Exactly, Dulcet. I've decided to just tell myself I'm not pregnant until we have proof I am. Hopefully I'll stick to that!

Newbie* I am currently 5dpo and I have excessive CM too. Its white and not stretchy at all but slighty tacky. I don?t know what this means either! I have also had a few twinges (not as noticeable as OV pain). I don?t know, maybe I am just noticing stuff more because I WANT it to mean something.

When are you going to test?

Nicola that?s the good thing about the CB digi ov sticks, you can use FMU and its very straightforward to figure out the result. I also drink a lot of water during the day so the ICs were never going to work for me. Also, when I got my smiley at 10:30am, I also got another smiley at 6pm that same day so my surge last a while (either that or the CB sticks pick it up for longer).

By the way, have we abandoned the old thread?

Mclairey so you're one day ahead of me :) I've turned into a fruit loop! I'm convinced that I'm sick with a bug again. I am going to test on Sunday or Wednesday depending how I feel. These cramps are awful. I know it's not BfP related as it wouldn't be this bad :(

When are you going to test?

Hi Maclairey. I wish I could afford the digital ones, to be honest. Maybe after more months of trying I'll splash out. I'll have more money after the wedding!

I drink loads during the day too. I'll see how it goes.

Feeling AFy again today...not sure if this is ramping up to OV as had the same from CD9 last month too.
