I'm very crampy. pah. Sad

NicolaHazel · 26/07/2012 20:39

I have had SO MUCH CM in the last couple of days...damp knicker central. It appears to be increasing month on month! FX it means that I'm about to be super fertile.

Totally knackered after an exhausting week at work, so glad it's Friday tomorrow. :-)

Roxyjade · 26/07/2012 20:56

Thanks loveinNY

I read another website and they say that it shouldn't hurt so much , this is awful. Worse than when I am on my period.

Nicolahazel, you must be super fertile, get biding. I wish I Got CM. I get damp undies but never EWCM :(

NicolaHazel · 26/07/2012 21:07

I hope so...planning on using Conceive Plus for the first time tonight too!

And ovulation pain can be awful, Roxy, mine was seriously bad last month. Nothing too much this month yet, but it's only CD11, so potentially a touch early.

letsdothisthing · 26/07/2012 22:45

Evening everyone :o

After checking in with you this morning I've had the worst cramps today, so bad I had to leave my desk for the toilet and was doubled over in pain slight exaggeration but it didn't half hurt!! - my ov pains weren't even this bad! Hate not knowing whats going on its so frustrating! Haven't had any backpain but the cramps have been coming in waves today!

Dulcet I dont envy your office move in this weather - we have been through something similar in work a while ago and it was a nightmare - ours was in the winter though thankfully!

Newbie really hope you get a smiley soon, or even AF just so you know where you are!

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 07:12

Morning!

Lets, that sounds awful :-( I hope you feel better today.

My H2B managed to annoy me last night by staying up to watch The Shining rather than DTD. Grrrr!

But I didn't make a big deal out of it. I did tell him I'm taking him straight to bed when we get home though! Think I may do that too :-)

CD12 today, so need to get going!

Any POAS action today? Anyone?!

Roxyjade · 27/07/2012 07:16

Morning all,

Mine managed to annoy me last night to. He went to out with his friends came home and said he was to tired to dtd, I explained I was ovulating (pains in back, etc) and he said he didn't care , I was becoming to obsessive. WOW is all I can say. Really upset me, maybe I am getting to obsessive, but what can you do when you want something do bad. :(

letsdothisthing · 27/07/2012 07:30

Happened to us the day before I ov'd - we dtd loads over that time generally but the day before ov we were both shattered and too tired to DTD - not the best day to miss so I hope the rest of times we DTD made up for it!! Confused not long to find out now I guess

Roxy and Nicola, hope you both have more luck tonight!

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 09:02

Ladies you will be comforted to hear that my DH also messed up last nights plans :) Apparently the heat and the baby screaming next door was too much of a turn off (I kind of agree on the baby screaming). I wasn't exactly in the mood either but I was so willing to give it a go! Luckily made up for it this morning before work, always really sceptical about morning DTD because none of it stays in me!

CBFM still showing high and no smiley face this morning.

OP posts:
Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 09:14

lets I hope your cramps have buggered off today? Mine have gone after a good nights sleep.

OP posts:
Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 09:17

Did I tell you that my neighbour had a baby last week? Talk about bad timing! Not the biggest turn on to hear a newborn when TTC! Also a constant reminder of what we're trying to achieve Hmm

OP posts:
PuppyMummy · 27/07/2012 09:17

morning all. boo to the unhelpful oh's. fx they r all in the mood tonight!

I'm less crampy this morning they seem to have mostly gone. were quite bad last night, interestingly no sign of af yet. which is a bit odd as the cramps usually signal its arrival.

due tomorrow...

LoveinNY · 27/07/2012 11:52

Morning ladies. Sounds like the boys were on collective strike last night. My dh also expressed his tiredness as we got to bed. Lol. Although it didn't really matter as I'm way past the point of conception anyway. (I think). Never did get a smiley face this month and gave up at CD 20. At CD 23 now but really not hoping this month. Will go and enjoy footloose in the theatre tonight with a glass ( or 5) of wine. Wink
newbie, time to pick a TTY soundtrack to blast on as newborn screaming would kill anyone's mood. Lol. X

NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 12:10

Honestly...men!!

I'm just going to pounce on mine for a quickie when I get home. He'd better not say no again!

Hope everyone is OK and any nasty OV / AF symptoms are subsiding.

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 16:04

Love ooooh I saw Footloose at theatre, was fun :)

NEWSFLASH!!! There's a new midwife programme on TV starting Tuesday 9pm (think BB2 or 4). It's basically a spin off of OBEM.

Had massive urge to buy Preg test today but made it home empty handed!

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 27/07/2012 18:05

Thanks for the newsflash newbie, can't get enough of the programmes!!

Does that mean a test for you tomorrow then puppy?

CD6 here, back on the DTD wagon from tomorrow!

letsdothisthing · 27/07/2012 18:34

Thanks Newbie, yeah they have buggered off thankfully! 8DPO today,still a bit of a twinge but nothing like yesterday! Think AF due next weekend so be interesting to see if I got that right as no idea of my cycle length really, only that the last one was 39 days!

Know what you mean about morning DTD, I'm always last lap and never have time to lie still afterwards! Didn't really lie there for long when we DTD in the nights either, unless we did it right before bed! May have to persevere with that a bit more next month if no BFP this month!

Agree with Dulcet, love the prog's about TTC/pregnancy, thanks for the heads up :o

PuppyMummy · 27/07/2012 19:29

hi again dulcet

no! af due tomorrow but I won't be poas until Tuesday at earliest, unless she comes of course!
this is because of a big palavar last month where I thought I had a line but then af came 3 days late.

don't want to be there again so will be waiting this time!

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 20:10

Puppy good idea to wait. It would be well worth it when you get your BFP!

My cramps are back with revenge tonight. It's weird, I don't really remember what AF cramps feel like but I must say tonight I feeling like these could be AF related! Hmmm only time will tell!

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 20:22

Ooh...how long after your smilie would that be?! I know you want to be pregnant, but an AF is a good start, isn't it?

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 20:44

Nicola I got my smiley last Sunday so technically if we believe the smiley then it's 5DPO. Too early for implantation and I've been noticing cramps for the last 3 days now. A little more cramping then last month. Maybe it's possible that I have a short lat phase? I know it's all guess work Hmm

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 27/07/2012 20:51

Hmmm...that IS rather short for a lat phase. Your body is certainly testing your sanity :-/

Newbie2 · 27/07/2012 21:41

It is certainly testing me! I'm starting to feel like a big moaner on here too! Sorry if I sound like a broken record to any of you...I guess I'm always hoping by sharing my rollercoaster experience that one of you has had a similar experience or answer/guess for me :)

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 28/07/2012 01:29

We will be watching on Tuesday then puppy! Hope AF holds out!

Moaning is encouraged here newbie, we can help you keep smiling!

Newbie2 · 28/07/2012 06:52

Oh I'm so glad to hear moaning is encouraged here because I actually want to cry now. Just done my usual Peeing on OV sticks and my CB smiley is negative but at CD 20 my CBFM is showing peak! My temps have peaked and now showing the same as yesterday. Is this seriously true...could all this pain be ovulation? Seriously? This is one head mess!!!! My stomach pains have moved higher (left) and I would say hurting my back a little now. OMG I feel terrible! DH is not even here to DTD. I really am fed up with all these confusing messages. If you're reading this and you haven't had AF arrive for 80 something days and you're thinking of starting to use a CBFM...my advice is DONT!
