Feeling a little bit crampy... Hope it isn't AF

Treaclepie19 · 28/07/2014 21:56

Hope not English x

EnglishGirlsReturned · 28/07/2014 22:02

Pinky/brown cm too. If it is AF it's very unlikely that I did actually ovulate as I'm only 8dpo.
Will see how it pans out Hmm

cinnamongreyhound · 28/07/2014 22:09

Hope the tablet is working Treaclepie19, no idea about temps and not ovulating during the cycle.

Go to bed and see in the morning EnglishGirlReturned!

Sorry to hear you got af Natalie1989xo and angelaham.

I'd take them with lunch fattycow :)

Serenitysutton · 28/07/2014 22:11

Hello all, joining from the July bus as have cramping today, it's waiting for my temp to go down tomorrow :(

DH is booking a consultation with zita west

Treaclepie19 · 28/07/2014 22:17

Could it be implantation English?

Thanks cinnamon :)

I plan on carrying on as if I haven't ovulated because I'm sure there's no way I have. Got a few nights out planned.
I know I'll worry myself but there really is no way I'm getting a bfp this month.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 28/07/2014 22:23

I daren't even mention the 'I' word Treacle.

Enjoy all your nights out, you deserve a few fun nights out. Smile

Treaclepie19 · 28/07/2014 22:26

Thank you :)
It's funny how if I'd just been using opk's I'd have thought I ovulated 7 days ago.
Hard to get that out of my head :p

TheGrandHighWitch · 28/07/2014 23:41

Well my chart is very much like yours Treaclepie19 (here is mine to compare). I figure I have either ovulated but the weather/hormones are affecting my temps or I haven't ovulated which sucks but not totally unexpected. Hopefully I will know either way by Saturday and if nothing then going to gp.

spinningirl10 · 29/07/2014 07:03

Morning ladies Grin

Can I join you from the July bus pleaseGrin

I've been on holiday and after a lovely 2 weeks in which af rudely arrived half way through I'm back and raring to go Grin I'm cd 10 so should get +opk in the next couple of days.

I will try and catch up a bit later but I see lots of familiar faces here.

Lots of luck this month, here's hoping we get lots of summer bfps!

Spinningirl10 ttc#3 cycle 13

EnglishGirlsReturned · 29/07/2014 07:09

Well AF is either make a slow appearance or it's ib. Obviously I'm hoping for ib. 9dpo, brown 'stuff' there. With the mc it could very much be that I've not ovulated and AF is just about to make herself known. Before my first mc I'd never getting spotting. I'd just wake up to her!

Treaclepie19 · 29/07/2014 07:16

I hope you have ovulated Grand.
Oddly my temp has gone up to my coverline today so wondering if it's delayed ovulation.
Would rather af just came though as we can't dtd anyway.

English, hoping for the best result for you. It sounds promising but like you say, after mc our bodies like to trick us.

cinnamongreyhound · 29/07/2014 07:22

Hi spinningirl10!

I resisted poas today and I have a tesco one for tomorrow, 13dpo today and my boobs hurt more each day!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 29/07/2014 07:37

What cd are you on Treacle? I know what you mean though about just wanting AF to come. I felt exactly like that in March.

When will you poas Cinamon?

Hi spinning! Sorry you're having to join August, but you are very much welcome!

Grand, as Treacle said - I hope you have ovulated. But remember most people do have the odd anovulatory cycle. Just annoying when you're TTC, another month ticking by. Hmm

Serenitysutton · 29/07/2014 07:43

Temp hasn't dropped today and no more pinky CM. I suppose I wait frantically for tomorrow's temprature taking!

Treaclepie19 · 29/07/2014 07:44

I'm on Cd21 English, my post mc cycles have only been 26/27 days long though.
Damn confusing body. Will just see what tomorrow's temp brings I guess. At least id be pretty sure af was coming because we last dtd on cd13.

Phryn · 29/07/2014 08:11

Here's to hoping it's IB for you English.

My periods have been so irregular I could be expecting AF anytime from tomorrow to 9th August! Envy Really frustrating and I'm trying to resist the urge to POAS as it's not going to help time pass any quicker and I can't face the potential for daily dissapointment!

Also just spent a lovely weekend away but it did feel that everyone was pregnant or had babies. I know that's just where my head is at the moment but it was hard at times.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 29/07/2014 08:18

Hmmm very confusing for you Treacle. Hopefully your temps will indicate something at least over the next few days.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 29/07/2014 08:20

Thanks Phryn Smile Pregnant people do seemto be everywhere when a baby is all you want. But it's probably no more than at any other point, it's just more at the forefront of your mind. Our time will come

cinnamongreyhound · 29/07/2014 08:24

Probably tomorrow on the tesco test I have EnglishGirlReturned, also have 6 IC left and I ordered a FRER yesterday so plenty but it's just horrible getting a bfn even if you know it's too early!

gennibugs · 29/07/2014 09:22

De lurking to wave at spinning.
hope you had a lovely holiday Smile

spinningirl10 · 29/07/2014 09:28

Hi Genni, yes fantastic thank you but I've put on 10lbs!!!!! Too many pizzas and cakes for breakfastGrin
Where are you in your cycle?

Treacle and English, sounds frustrating for both of you. I think some nights out and a few drinks is well deserved.

spinningirl10 · 29/07/2014 09:39

I chipped a tooth while I was away and need it filled. Soonest appointment I can get is Friday. I should be 1/2 dpo then. Will this be ok?

kurama · 29/07/2014 09:46

wow just read througj from sat morn lol. welcome to all the newbies. sorry to see more from july over here. boobs def not sore now but still got all my other symptoms. roll on next week when I hopefully find out what the blood test results say Confused I had Wine yest as I was feeling a bit down and who could resist a stall giving out free samples of diff flavoured vodka? ??? toffee is nice coconut is rank and chocolate vodka is heaven! lol

Aprilray · 29/07/2014 09:58

Treacle and GrandHighWitch I feel your pain, I am also having an odd cycle. Am on CD17 (would expect to ov around CD18/19) and my temp was really high this morning but my monitor is saying low fertility still. Did an OPK yesterday pm and the test line was nearly as dark as the control line....we'll see I guess.
Feeling very Sad as DH is away for the next 2-3 nights and we were supposed to DTD last night but were both feeling tired and irritable and it just didn't happen. May end up having to write this cycle off and hop straight on the September bus!!

Kurama what a pain that you have to wait a week for your results! I would definitely not have been able to resist the vodka samples.
