Random one but just have some shooting pain on my lower left, further over than my ovary, like a couple of cms to the right of my belly button and about 5cms down. Never felt anything like it. Wasn't painful but I was definitely aware of it... lasted about 2 mind, then a few mins after that had a tugging feeling behind my belly button. Again not painful but odd!

My poor body is so confused 😂🙈😁

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 13:52

Lower right side... not left. Definitely not far enough over to be appendix or ovary x

Mileymoocow · 02/01/2016 13:59

Stark can I have some of your happy? I think I've caught your everyone can fuck off I hate the world-itus today. AF pains have crept up like the little shit bags they are. But I'm not out until my uterus lining falls out of my floo right? Wink I'm not due on for 6 days yet and normally don't cramp until the day before. Hope she's early so I can try again to graduate soon.

canters you're probably well on your way to being married now but I hope you've had an amazing day. Hope you have a fab honeymoon and don't spend the ENTIRE time shagging in your hotel - Al fresco fornication is an option

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/01/2016 14:05

Miley I shall send you some happy in a jar my lovely girl! I was such a misery guts last night, It was awful! I was just a frowny, angry bear with a side of the weeps thrown in for good measure! I got up this morning and had a fizzy berocca type thing which I've been avoiding until I realised they didn't have vitamin A in and I'm determined to be happier today! It's all the not knowing that got me down yesterday, it's such a mine field of uncertainty this ttc!

handbags that sort of sounds like what I have when I'm due to ovulate. Like a pinched nerve tugging internally. What cd are you on?

Mileymoocow · 02/01/2016 14:10

Starky even when you're pissy you still have a wicked sense of humour 😂 it's keeping me going anyway.

FYI 24 and CM about 5-6 days. Like none stop. I felt like I'd pissed myself.

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 14:12

I don't have a Cycle atm! Didn't bleed on the mini pill...

Sorry for the major TMI but just went to the loo and had CM like egg white but was more like a super pale yellowy whire... just one bit when I wiped.

Sorry again for the gory details! Lol

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 14:15

Colour... not whire. New phone hates me clearly 😂😂

IndiX · 02/01/2016 14:38

I definitely agree that until AF comes you're still in the running!
So I've tried hard not to symptom spot or turn in to a crazy lady BUT I have been weeing non stop today, I do wee a lot anyway as I try to drink loads of water but I feel like I'm weeing every 20mins today! I've just bought a first response but don't think it's the FRER one, I'll try it in the morning. I'm feeling a lot more positive today. I'm scared but now excited for testing in the morning. Please send me lots of baby dust/luck Grin

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/01/2016 14:42

Thanks miley Dh is less than impressed with me today apparently I "kicked the living shit" out of him "all night!" He had to tell me off at one point because I kept thumping him in the shoulders! He just said "you were a nightmare! I turned over and you whacked me in the face, so I sternly told you to move up and you told me to 'kiss my arse knobhead' " so I was even a bad mood Betty whilst asleep! Grin oh married bliss!

I think you're ovulating handbags go forth and bone like a champ!

GOOD LUCK INDIX Will be thinking of you tomorrow ☺ lots of baby dust xxx

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 14:43

starky I don't need an excuse but I will put in extra effort tonight and the following few days... 😂😂😛😛

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/01/2016 14:43

Ooooh all sounds positive indi massive good luck and baby dust your way!

KatOnATinRo0f · 02/01/2016 14:50

Okay so back to CM.... Post ovulation if have conceived then what are we expecting? I have quite a lot of white creamy CM the last few days.

In other news.... First work out of new year and I feel like I can't breathe. I'm never eating cake again.

IndiX · 02/01/2016 14:54

Yes Kat I am now nil by mouth after stepping on the scales this morning.
I'd also like to know what CM is like if conception has happened?
Thanks for the good luck ladies xxx

Mileymoocow · 02/01/2016 15:00

Oooooh yey! FX indie babydustbabydustbabydust!!

Kiss my arse knob head is brilliant. I don't function well enough to insult whilst asleep. It's alway just a 'for fucks sake man' typical geordie

Strange period cramps don't feel like period cramps anymore. Maybe it's more farting! And I had indian last night Wink

kat go you. I'm dreading going back to the gym. May leave it til February until all of the new year's resolutioners have packed in and I've lost enough weight to fit back into my gym leggings

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/01/2016 15:21

kat creamy white cm is good post ovulation! And well done you for training! That's determination! I like it!

I'm just going to finish what's left in the sweetie cupboard and then not buy anymore haha haha it will take me three months! I bulk buy Christmas treats! ill have to limit myself! I try not to "diet" because I get overly invested and irritate myself! We tend to stick to a loose low gi meal plan, Dh eats protein like it's going out of fashion though! We buy 5kg of chicken breast at a time and it lasts about a week!

miley I'm quite rude in my sleep, I've told him to fuck off and all sorts in the past! And I've given him a fat lip when I've been particularly "flaily" However he's an ex boxer and once winded me with a body shot to the ribs when he was having arms spasms as he was dropping off! So it's swings and roundabouts! He's got an achy jaw which is my fault today I'm told, from walloping him in the chops! Which is consistent with the teeth marks in my right hand only joking Grin

Ni4444 · 02/01/2016 15:34

Ha! He's a lucky man Stark! Never a dull moment! I like my sleep too much to be able to have coherent-like conversations. My OH just gets a "No Talking" shouted at him if he tries to speak to me when I'm asleep!

Ladies I am very glad to hear that you left those creeps behind! Nobody deserves that level of crazy. Strong women to move onwards and upwards from that Flowers

I love long weekends...! Managed to get out of pjs today for my "I'm a pin cushion" appointment (acupuncture)

Oh get this..OH went to GP to see about male fertility checks...the next available apt at the fertility service is March!!!!! hope to be upduffed by then!

IndiX · 02/01/2016 15:39

You sound like me Starky I am apparently very aggressive in my sleep sometime I may be awake and hit him due to loud breathing/snoring

Mileymoocow · 02/01/2016 15:46

starky step dad and OH are body builders. It's like looking into some sort of weird baby chick hatching ground in my bin the amount of eggs he goes through. And snap with the chicken breast. Protein farts are the worst Blush

And how weird is it watching men obsess over other mens bodies? Hmm

I follow their 'cutting' plan when I want to diet but I tend to get obsessed too, which is not healthy becaise i have a history of eating disorders (you could never tell now Wink) it's so hard and soul destroying I give up.

Ni I second that. Well done ladies, some men aren't worth the oxygen they breathe

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 15:52

It just sucks it too me 8 years to pull myself together enough to get away. Best thing I ever did!!!

Ni4444 · 02/01/2016 16:02

Doesn't matter how long it took handbags, just matters that you did it. Don't take away from that achievement! Must be lovely to be in a different situation and living in a totally different world while ttc now. Soak up all the lovely that you have built up around you!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/01/2016 16:08

Omg yes miley I will wake up and he'll be in bed next to me watching YouTube gym videos with grunting, sweaty men groaning over a Smith machine! I'm just like "you weirdo!" He's still proud of me for doing a set of 10 100 kg squats two years ago . I'm exactly the same with the diet/food issues too, so now if he's cutting, ill eat the same thing, but ill put sauce and salt on mine, and I'll have treats and biscuits if I fancy it, I refuse to ever get back into that restrictive mindset again! And don't even get me started on protein farts! I'm no angel but Jeeeeeez the man could blow a hole through sheet metal and murder a buffalo with the smell! Grin

ni as awful as it was, it's made me the woman stubborn harpy I am today! And as handbags says, walking away was the best thing I ever did! Ooh, tell me more about acupuncture, I'm intrigued! I feel positive you will be upduffed by March!

indi sometimes if he's annoyed me in the day I'll give him a kick in the nightime to get my own back. I owe him a "scare" from Christmas eve when he hid in the back garden and made me jump! He thinks I've forgotten, but oh no, I'm just biding my time! I'll get him when he's least expecting it! holding a grudge, me? he should learn that the elephant never forgets and a squealing wife shall prevail eventually! Muahahaha!

Handbagsnhorses · 02/01/2016 16:13

Awww thanks ni , yes it's amazing! It's amazing to have someone who makes sure I take care of myself. For the first time in a long time I don't feel alone ☺ and like starky said... it makes us ladies not to mess with 😉😂

IndiX · 02/01/2016 16:24

You ladies are very strong and I'm so glad you are both happy, healthy and in a great place to have a baby.
Haha Starky my DH tells me things I've done/said in the night and I pretend to have completely forgotten.
I have just booked my first mini break for 2016 with a couple of friends in March, I really want to be preggo by then. Still feeling positive about tomorrow morning but not over excited and going to try not to feel down if it's a bfn. As DH is away I've just had a nice bath and painted my nails.
Anyone doing anything nice this weekend?

Pinklily1 · 02/01/2016 16:38

Creamy CM is a good sign after ovation - I had it just before my bfp Grin
