I'm limping (hopefully) towards ovulation. Am using opks but can anyone shed some light on cm? Am trying to keep an eye on it but I don't seem to have anything very obvious. Had some clear, sticky stuff for a few days but didn't develop further. Is it normal to have minimal/no cm?

Beautifulboy1 · 13/08/2013 12:46

Hi All future mums!!!

Please may I buy a ticket to preggersville!

Hi all, quick question, have been using cheap OPK'S from Amazon which are saying I'm ovulating and double checked it with a clear blue which says I'm not?!

Any ideas?! has anyone else experienced this? Thanks all in advance x

Tea1Sugar · 13/08/2013 15:42

Hi all hope everyone is ok. I got a bfp on a cheapie Grin off to buy more tests now!

armywag21 · 13/08/2013 15:51

Excellent tea, congratulations!

ThreeFromDesire · 13/08/2013 16:31

Exciting tea!

Hurry back and update on dpo and what else you are peeing on Grin

VJONES1985 · 13/08/2013 16:32

Congrats!

Situation with me - been v tired for two days and now in bed after having a nap, got pain around my right side/lower back and generally pissed off. Guessing this is all caused by pill withdrawal and hoping it goes away soon.

Gingerandcocoa · 13/08/2013 16:51

Congratulations Tea!!!

I'm afraid I'm out this month... AF has arrived :( (and painfully!)

I have to say, I'm quite upset and disappointed, but also slightly relieved? I can finally stop symptom spotting at least for two weeks!

Tea1Sugar · 13/08/2013 17:03

I tested one day before Af (cd24) and it was negative, waited for today 2 days late (cd27) and now 3 bfpsGrin.

Used cb opks but only dtd days 9,11,13 and used pre seed but who knows if it helped!

cheesysmile · 13/08/2013 17:11

Congrats Tea, very exciting - update us soon!

Sorry AF got you Ginger, especially as its a painful one. Have a glass bottle of wine whilst you can!

Welcome Beautiful! Don't think I can help with your question, but sure someone else can.

I think I got a small amount of EWCM today - never been so pleased with the contents of some loo roll! Blush Although not had any more so don't know if that means I'm going to ov today / tomorrow or sometime undetermined time in the future!!!

ImaginaryHat · 13/08/2013 17:13

What day did you get your +ive opk tea?

VJONES1985 · 13/08/2013 17:17

Cheesysmile - I got a small amount of clear cm (perhaps egg white?) cd7-10 and nothing since so perhaps I'm due to ovulate soon, I don't know!

cheesysmile · 13/08/2013 17:28

Thanks VJONES its really difficult to tell isn't it. I seem to remember last month I got a lot of watery CM the two days before my temps showed ovulation and had nothing like that yet this cycle, but am also getting a few pains on my left hand side and don't remember any pains last cycle. I'm confused .... think will just have to jump DH tonight to be on the safe side!

roodles84 · 13/08/2013 17:31

impatientlywaiting - I'm due to break my poas-virginity tomorrow! Technique question for all you lovely ladies: which do you do - pee directly on the stick or catch it and dip?

englishteacher78 · 13/08/2013 17:35

AF due yesterday/today no show as of yet. Got a negative result at lunch time. Trying again tomorrow morning.

Tea1Sugar · 13/08/2013 17:39

Imaginary hat - I got a really strong cb digi opk on cd13 and by that I mean the two lines on the actual test when ejected from the digi test were very very dark. Then got bfp today 14 dpo but may well have got it earlier if I'd have tested before Smile

VJONES1985 · 13/08/2013 17:43

Cheesysmile - despite my cm seeming to have stopped,I've had pains for a couple of pains but still nothing on opks. Could they be wrong? Or perhaps the pains mean I'm due to ovulate in a day or so...

VJONES1985 · 13/08/2013 17:44

Ha ha - was meant to say 'pains for a couple of days'

ImaginaryHat · 13/08/2013 17:55

Thanks tea, I always find it interesting to find out what day ppl get their positive opk compared to when they dtd when they get a bfp, its useful info!

Congrats again! Flowers

Writerwannabe83 · 13/08/2013 18:31

Many congratulations Tea x x

Tea1Sugar · 13/08/2013 18:33

Thanks all Smile Completely mixed between utter shock, Excitement, fear, more excitement...this is my second I should know the ropes

EmJay9 · 13/08/2013 19:34

Hi all I would like to ride the number 8 bus please? I'm 35 and ttc#1 slighty worried I've left it too late in life! I came off the pill and we have been actively trying since then. Think ov was last Tuesday. Af due somewhere between this Friday and next Wednesday going on my last cycle being only 25 days but previous one being 29 although of course I'm hoping for a no show from her this month! Good luck to you all great to have people to share the journey with as I recently relocated and don't have any close friends nearby I can talk to about this.
