Hi all, right so I'm not sure it is a haemorrhoids. TMI bit it doesn't feel like it's coming from the anus but more a lump lower down like between the two regions?! I have put some cream on it and it's not sore right now. I haven't been constipated or straining. Embarrassing or what?!

Glad to hear everyone else is well!

CD6 21st may

Hope everyone's having a good day.

Dtd last night and feel so happy to be back on with the baby making! That just kind of helps me get through knowing we are actually doing something.

Nimisha that sounds positive! Fingers crossed for you.

Jod hope it clears up soon for you!

My temps are currently below 36.00 which seem low to me. After ovulation they were up at 36.4ish ... Suppose it's easy to tell when I've ovulated then.. Hopefully anyway

Yay Jem!! You can get back into it then :)

[Footprints1]

Hi radders, my temp on day 6 was 36.30 then dropped to 35.90 on day 7. Then went back up next day.. Don't know why? If that helps probably something to do with hormones.

[Tee4me]

Oh Jod hope you're not in too much discomfort. Keep an eye on it and book to see doc if you're concerned.
Sounds like a good variance of temps to me Radders! I'm usually around 36.1-36.2 pre OD and then 36.4-36.7 post OD.

Another positive opk today. Still no AF. Clear CM. Tummy ache! Was out on a jog and was convinced AF had started but still nothing. Boobs itching and tingling.

Spoken to gp today to get some advice, and she said that it sounds like my body has been trying to ovulate throughout the month but not succeeding so it will keep attempting to. This might delay AF, so not to get excited if it doesn't show for a bit. On a positive note I get a few chances to conceive throughout the month so if I missed dtd the first time and I didn't ovulate then I do get another chance until I finally ovulate. It might take a few cycles to settle. She was quite relaxed and said no need to do any pregnancy tests and they will do a test if I get to cd40 and give me something to bring on AF to kick start the cycle again. She said to tell the gyne at appt next thurs. So got to sit tight and wait for something to happen or not! Oh and she laughed at how many opk sticks I've used and about opk detecting hcg! Felt an idiot..How frustrating

.. I am getting withdrawal from peeing on sticks already . Might do another opk stick tomorrow and If the hcg stick arrive tomorrow I may tempt a test just because I've been told not to!

[Racja14]

Ugh I've had a awful day, really irritable and stressed 😣 Loads of EWCM but no OPK yet cos I'm going out tonight, hope I'm not too tired to DTD when I get in! My face has broken out big time too so think I'm about to ovulate

racja I too have some spots which is very unusual for me. Looks like we are cycle buddies in several ways!

Super super positive opk just now!! So I was thinking the OPK thing was really really short lived, but defo darker than yesterday which was so so close to being same darkness as control line. So Dtd tonight and saturday. OK. I can do this.

jod I would make a trip to the doc's for that...

radders my pre-ov temps sometimes go that low 35.95ish region...

[Racja14]

physicskate hope I have a positive OPK too Gonna try and DTD next 3 days, we're in this together

[Footprints1]

Racja- are u testing opks after 10pm, as I find they are stronger mid-day?

[SuchaJem]

CD7

It's almost the Bank Holiday woohoo!

Had a ridiculously busy day but squeezed in a 30 min back massage which was bliss

radders back on it hurrah!

Glad you've had some reassurance from your GP footprints - and good to know you're not going to be stuck in this limbo ongoing.

Go go go physics and rac!

[Footprints1]

Jod- yes prob get it checked out. Might be where u have been very active dtd, caused an irritation.

[Nimisha]

Still spotting here. My skin is also really greasy today. I hope I'm not out.

Footprints that sounds like you have a plan for this month which is positive.

Jem a back massage sounds amazing.

My temps are still up, 36.8 my cover line is 36.56.

[Mimilicious013]

Fx for a bfp nimisha

Oh jem aren't you lucky, would kill for a massage like now.

Hope everyone had a pleasant day and good luck to those getting down with business tonight and those rehearsing too

[Mimilicious013]

Hope u are feeling better jod

Happy baby dancing Nim, Kate & Racja.

Footprints i definitely have read that opks can pick up HCG too. The doctor must just not know. I wouldn't be able to resist testing - especially if I had IC's and went over 30days.

Jem - back massage sounds great.

I think you are right tee I suspect it's irritation from DTD! It's actually ok now been putting cream on it.

Symptom spotting today...I had some period like cramping this afternoon? And right sided pains too. I have a creamy discharge and I'm a little tired

[Jod1985]

Thanks mimi

[Summerblush1982]

Footprints could be good news coming your way!!! How nice would that be!!! Nim, fingers crossed for you!! Jod1 sounds painful!! :-/
Yes, I've been busy Dtd since last Saturday!!! No unusual feelings though like ov pains!! We shall see!!

[Summerblush1982]

Right, off to test some pee again!

[Summerblush1982]

Just looked at my screen shot I took about everyone's testing dates.

Nimisha you were testing on the 3rd, are you going to test sooner to confirm?

[Nimisha]

Summer I'm going to test on either the 1st or the second. (Probably the first if I'm not out by then). Fertility friend brought forward my ov date. I won't be too downhearted if it's a BFN and just test daily until AF. I don't have any FRERs. Just ICs and a clear blue (the standard one) .

I told DH I was testing on Monday and he didn't know there was a test day. I explained about the 2ww and he said "is that why you've not been so interested in dtd last week?" I exhausted myself on FW and I'm having a break. I didn't tell him that though.

[Parney]

Some promising symptoms so far guys! Spotting at your dpo seems like a great sign Nimisha.. Any other signs?
Hope the weekend is full of Dtd for everyone!!
Think if I was to date it would be 4+5.

[Summerblush1982]

Well I will have everything crossed for you!! I know what you mean, I was driving home today thinking 'uh, another 3 days of trying'! I just want to sit on the sofa and drink prosecco if I'm honest!!! I hope I get some kind of symptoms soon!!! xx

[Tee4me]

Morning everybody!
Happy Friday and hello long weekend!

FW is inching closer, and we've been warming up this time. Hope DH isn't bored of me by the end of next week! Think we've found a hotel for our weekend away, so hopefully the break recharges us for the home stretch!Jem you've inspired me, I'll be booking in for a relaxing massage, heaven!
xx

CD2814dpo .. Or 7dpo or 1dpo or not any dpo?

Symptom spotting alert !! I'm so confused! Help

So the confusion continues ladies... Morning btw everyone! Last night we dtd -sorry tmi for so early in morning but I had sooo much watery/EWCM even my DH commented how up for it I was (didn't want to burst his bubble, and tell him it's fertile stuff)
Boobs were on fire, hot to touch too, had to hold on to them (and im only a smaller size breasts). Could not lie on them.

I don't know much about cervix stuff, but for the first time ever this month I notice how easy it was to dtd and more comfortable- I don't know if that's due to the lots of EWCM.

So I'm hoping this was ovulation for real? Secretly hoping its pregnancy symptoms? Temp is up again today to 36.48 way above coverline and higher than yesterday. Definitely not a temp on AF due date is it?? Last month was 35.10. So half of me feels I want to FRER test as AF due today but no cramps at all, the other half is saying it's impossible if you keep attempting ovulation in luteal phase so don't test and listen to the doc. ??

Not working today so I'm going to opk test today after 10am. If ovulation; I should be getting a lighter line than yesterday's positive as I've already had a few dark positive lines last few days so it should be over.. Missed my FMU today as was busting to go.

Symptoms left today are- no AF show (due today from last period), aching boobs- can't jog without holding them) and that's about it!

[SuchaJem]

footprints I would definitely test if I was you. You've got enough symptoms and no period. I'd rather know.

CD8 over here and I'm cruising into Bank Hol mode We've got dinner with friends tonight, got to buy a new sofa tomorrow, a wedding Sunday and chilling Monday! Plus plenty of DTD in between! What are you all up to?
