Oh thanks Elley it's just the spotting is following exactly the same pattern as pre AF at the moment so it's totally confusing me and just making me less hopeful! We dtd every day around ovulation so totally thought we were in with a chance this month but you just never know do you!! Ahhh. Thanks so much for the advice. Sorry to hear your pregnacy didn't stick Flowers

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 14:21

Good plan Dizzy lots of luck to you!

Blue500 · 16/12/2014 14:39

Found you Grin

3dpo here yawn nothing to report Smile

However am feeling really hormonal already so early in tww. Poor DH! Am wondering if acupuncture has shot my system all over the place. I ov early and now have pmt so early. Not sure what's going on.

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2014 15:28

Sparkly, I never listen to the advice eitherGrin yeh I do go by cm but it confuses me! Had loads the last couple of days and a lot of ewcm this morning and some funny pain which could have been ov. Hopefully temps will confirm in a few days.

Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 16/12/2014 15:44

I'll jump on board if I may.

Name : Cant
Age : 28
Cycle 2 - but over 4 months, usually 90 day periods.
Started acupuncture & Took Soy this month days 1-5, lots of EWCM 13-16 & watery 17-19 - not sure if I ovulated, have tested every day except AF since septemeber 23rd and cant get a positive for love nor money! Couldn't track temp either as have had flu for weeks.

AF/BFP due between Thursday and Sunday Have already tested early and 4 BFNs

Currently v.achy boobs, exhausted and little amounts of creamy CM... if anyone would like to diagnose pregnancy, please do Grin

Congrats to you BFP-er's! And fx for all those in 2ww Flowers

Maths88 · 16/12/2014 15:44

Hey all. Sorry some of you are getting sporting - must be really annoying not knowing what it is.

Quick question, I had ewcm last weekand thought I was about to ovulate but never got a pos opk, now on cd21 and got some more ewcm - what on earth is going on? I'm new at this but I thought you got this, ovulated and then it went away?

nutelladipper · 16/12/2014 16:01

Ellie I'm due AF on Friday too but the same as Sparkly I'm spotting (well pinky brown mucus) and I've sore boobs but also period pains so fairly confident I'm out. I'm 11 dpo.

Fingers crossed for u elley and nutella x x

I've been miserable all day. Had the day off work to do Xmas shopping and/or clean the house for parents arrival and I've done neither. Not sure where the hours have gone. Don't seem to be spotting anymore but have front and back aches.

Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain · 16/12/2014 16:35

Congratulations Elley and Nutella - very pleased for you both!! I hope this is the beginning of a trend on this thread!! Flowers

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 16:43

sparkly - i am the same as you, i usually get spotting around seven days before af is due, but i am 4 days until Ovia says i can take a test, there is not much spotting it is like mucus too but I'm not getting my hopes up now, what i have noticed that my boobs are not all that sore in the morning but then by the afternoon they are sore, having cramps on and off, still need to wee on and off, when ever i drink, its not stingy or sore, probably my body just playing a cruel joke like evey other month!!!

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 16:44

congratualtions Elley and Nutella!!

Boobear1983 · 16/12/2014 16:44

I'll jump on this one. Currently AF is 6 days late. POAS when i was 4 days late but BFN. I have been ill this week so it might be late because of that.

ElleyBear13 · 16/12/2014 16:47

cantbelieve massive thank you hoping this little ones a sticky!! Hope everyone else gets a bfp soon too, or even a stp (small thin positive) id also recommend the clearblue digi disposible ovulation test kit to anyone ttc/and/or have irregular periods since m/c i bought one pack this month and its clearly worked (i also found out i ovulate later than i thought!!) . :) xxxx

DizzyNorthernBird · 16/12/2014 17:23

Fingers crossed for you both nuteela and elley!

maths I'm with you with the opk/ewcm confusion. It's all so, confusing isn't it!

Have you done another test?

nutelladipper · 16/12/2014 17:25

Thanks guys. I think I'll hang around here as the spotting has made me nervous as I've never had that before with other pregnancies. So I'm going to wait and maybe see what happens by Weekend. X

RoseBud2015 · 16/12/2014 17:35

Wow! elley and nutella congratulations! Definite lines on both of them! But ladies what happened to waiting until Friday you naughty cycle buddies!!!!! Grin Wink Grin

With no frer in the house I'm sticking to the 19th.... victoria You still in? Just about? sparkly how about you?

These pics do certainly test my resolve not to go load crazy at 9/10 dpo! Lol

RoseBud2015 · 16/12/2014 17:36

Load = poas ..... Grrrrr predictive text!

Frolicacid · 16/12/2014 17:50

Yay!! elley and nutella! So pleased for you both Flowers

Frer's really are the ones, aren't they. I have run out now, but have about 15 ic's to keep me going. The line was much stronger again today. 13 dop. I might treat myself to a digital at the weekend, hopefully to see that magic word. I can't stop being sick, but I'm not going to complain

Good luck everyone else, December has been good so far.

victoria401 · 16/12/2014 17:55

Hi Rosebud yes I'm still in, just. Spotting has stopped for now. Had a bit of nausea earlier with every bite of my sandwich. And my water tasted funny again this morning Xmas Confused

nutelladipper · 16/12/2014 18:07

I wish I had more tests to keep myself reassured! I'm aiming to get a CB on Thursday! X

xBlueberry88x · 16/12/2014 18:21

Dizzy I found the cheapies really easy, generally id start testing cd10 id get a pale line gradually getting darker and then an almost positive followed later or the next day by a positive. Not everyone gets cm that behaves itself which is why a lot of the ladies take epo etc. I usually get one day of positive and ovulate the day after (cramps) but after a positive you can ovulate anywhen up to 36 hours after. Hope this helps!

Congrats to Elley and Nutella

Math you can get cm all through your cycle ewcm is like gel (thick clear and gloopy) this should appear around ovulation but not everyone gets it. You can also get wet cm and creamy cm after ovulation and before af its all very normal. If it is ewcm take a ovulation test. Ovulation tests even when positive do not mean you have definitely ovulated its just showing an lh surge but you can gear up to ovulate and not and then your body tries again.

I talk to much!!
