Foot I spotted last time too but then next morning it was full on AF. Let's hope yours isn't though.

Love the name Rosie too, my friend has a Rosie. Think it's a cute name.

Cd29 and 12dpo. Boobs still really tender and I'm tired but no other symptoms, little bit of cm but not lots but also so not dry (tmi). Not going to do another test till Sunday if no AF. Although if cycle is same length as last time not due on till Wednesday.

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 13:08

Got a load of suspiciously fertile looking cm earlier Hmm what is going on with my ovaries this month?!

physicskate · 04/08/2016 15:22

AHHHH. So just had a load of ewcm, which is fine, but also had a nearly positive opk. It will probably be positive tomorrow! But it's really early for me! CD 14!! Last three cycles have had positives on CD 20, 19 and 19 respectively. And I haven't had sex since Cd 10 (long story involving dh returning to work and jet lag)...

Ah need to get on it!! Damn these slightly irregular cycles!!!

Cd25Star14dpo

So the bizarre thing is I'm not bleeding yet?! I've had on and off brown cm but it's not very much more than that really. Cramps seemed to have eased off a bit also. Think body playing a cruel trick here as I've been waiting all week for AF after spotting started on Sunday. AF was due today, so if nothing happens by tomorrow I'll test again. I've never ever spotted week of AF due. I ordered yesterday some amazon IC's which arrive later today so I'll try one of those later or tomorrow maybe.

Jem- I get fertile cm after ovulation too. Decided to stop the tampons until I know what's going on!

Pepper- you are not out yet! Fingers X'd

Ps- thanks for that, yes if nothing happens today or by tomorrow morning I'll b tempted to do another test.

Radders- glad you are well. Must be difficult getting to and from work feeling sick. How are you managing work Jodders?

Looks like Rosie will be a popular mumsnet name if everyone had girls! Girls names are easier to choose I think.

Footy1 · 04/08/2016 15:56

Kate- it's annoying when u get s surprise like that. You best think about how you will jump your man later Wink

Mimilicious013 · 04/08/2016 16:22

Fingers crossed for you foot and pepper,really hope this is a good month.

Hello tee jem kate nim summer.hope you are all well and good luck on this relaxed month.

ps parney radders jod hope you and babies are doing just fine.

No news here.am in fertile week and dh not well so not much hope this month.just hope cycle is short. Tough!!

ps2304 · 04/08/2016 17:21

Good luck to all in fertile week!

I felt like I had a uti starting. Constant need to pee even after just going, and nothing left! Drank a litre of cranberry juice and about 3 litres of water. It was getting quite irritating so I rang doctors and they asked me to go and provide a sample. I had just literally gone to the loo but went and managed to go again (it looked like water it was so weak!) she tested and said it was negative for infections. Said it sounded like bladder irritation. And tips other than cranberry juice and cranberry tablets?

Do I need to drop a more consentrated sample off in the morning? She didn't seem too fussed and said they would really rather not give me antibiotics for obvious reasons!
And just to drink lots of water...

ps2304 · 04/08/2016 17:25

Forgot to add, when I went for my scan on Tuesday I took the full bladder thing to the extreme and was desperate for the loo! Wonder if I irritated it then?

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 18:17

Get to it Kate Wink

Ooh footy that's odd, keep us posted - glad you've got some tests on the way.

I had a small plastic glass of prosecco today at work and immediately felt guilty Confused really going to try and steer clear now this TWW.

Footy1 · 04/08/2016 21:00

PS-i think your bladder is just irritated. I'd just continue to drink lots of water and cranberry juice help flush your bladder out. Could well be from your scan. If I don't go when I need to I get that UTI feeling sometimes.

Jem-I go weak at the knees when I see prosecco.. It's one of my bad habits!! Trouble is because I thought AF had arrived I drank quite a bit of it this week, now I'm getting worried.

Hi mimi, glad u are well. Sorry to hear DH is unwell -just sit on him, play nurse Wink

Still no AF?! Really confused. Spotting got less? So if not arrived by tomorrow then officially I'll be late. But I thought my temp would b higher if was pregnant. It goes up to 36.76 usually after ov, my coverline is usually in the 36.30 range. I checked my Amazon order and I didn't order them on prime! So gutted they won't arrive til tues.

So my plan is to temp in the morning if it's dropped even more then I'll forget testing. If it's similar or higher to today then I'll test using my cb digi. Feel like AFcramps though..? Such a cruel game. It's a gamble!

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 21:29

Ooh foot fingers tightly crossed for you! X

Jodders · 04/08/2016 22:08

Foot i think you are PG!! I spotted / bled a bit too and thought it was my period. Test tomorrow regardless of temp!!

I work for myself from home so I have stepped back a bit as I have been so sick. At least I don't have a commute as with my second working in an office was HELL!!

Good luck to everyone in FW and all of those in TWW eeeeekkkk exciting!!!!

LondonJem · 04/08/2016 22:37

Can someone tell me what's going on please... CD 20 and had lots more stretchy fertile cm and two more positive OPK tests?!

Got my positive on Tuesday. I've had on and off rumblings in my left ovary region for a few days. Is my body just trying and trying to ovulate??

We DTD 10,11,14,15,16,18,19

Do we have to keep going?!!! Confused

ps2304 · 05/08/2016 07:45

Jem I would dtd every other day until cycle day 26.

Footy1 · 05/08/2016 08:26

Jem, are u using the IC's. I'd only take it as a positive opk if the test line is darker than the control line. When I use those tests I always get an almost positive too. But only every get one or two that are darker. Also depends when u tested. Best time is between 12-4. Just keep dtd every other day and see what happens. Try stay relaxed X

Footy1 · 05/08/2016 08:32

15dpoStar

Temp went down a bit at 36.38, so I'm really not hopeful. No spotting as yet and been walking around for last hour.

I pee'd in a jar so am keeping the wee for another few hours and see if anything happens. Had some hot flushes in the night and yesterday night, boobs a bit tender to sleep on but that's normal if I'm due AF.

Almost too scared to test just to see a bfn. Not sure how long I can keep my wee for in jar before it's useless? Oh I wish I had a IC here! If the temp went up I'd def test!

LondonJem · 05/08/2016 08:55

Oh foot this really is the worst bit, the fine line between hope and disappointment is excruciating at the end of the cycle. Keeping everything crossed for you.

PS, Foot, I shall keep on trucking. Just when DH thought he was off the hook ... Lol

Parney · 05/08/2016 09:53

Jem what a busy time you're having!!!! Just keep at it Grin

Foot are you late yet??! Not counting this week's spotting? I had a 2-3 weeks on digi the day AF was due! But digis are so slow the waiting/losing time is agonising.

Parney · 05/08/2016 09:54

Waiting/loading

Pepper2016 · 05/08/2016 10:35

Fingers crossed for you foot! I really hope this is your month

Jem keep going every other day just in case. You must be covered then Grin

Jodders parney and ps - hope you are all doing well and enjoying it as much as you can.

Busta, nim, mimi good luck! Fingers crossed for you.

Cd30 Star 13dpo
No AF cramps yet just really tender boobs. DH went to hug me and knocked one, wow it hurt! Am wanting to wait till I'm late to test this month but it's so tempting. Playing a game of I can only test with FMU so if I forget then I can't test. Wonder how long that will last lol. Think I'm due next Wednesday but ovulated earlier this month so could be due this weekend

Footy1 · 05/08/2016 11:37

I caved in.. Bfn! "not pregnant" definitely would show by now!! So a big boo!!

Parney yes I'm a day late now. I ovulated cd10/11.

But still no AF. Kinda new deep down as the temp was too low. Oh well at least I can get on with my day without it lingering in my mind if I am or not. Just got to wait for the witch to arrive! Looking at my chart the temp decline was since dpo 9 when the spotting started. Might just be the clomid.

So the positives are (trying to talk myself out of the disappointment)-
-I would have been due around my youngests birthday. So it may have spoilt his birthday!
-I would probably have spent the remainder of the school holidays feeling sick..
-lastly I can finish off the bottle of prosecco in the fridge!

Footy1 · 05/08/2016 11:39

Pepper- really hope you get a BFP as someone needs to start August with good news! Keeping fingers crossed.

LondonJem · 05/08/2016 11:44

Those are all good positives foot - your little one would thank you especially I think. Not to mention the future cost and faff for trying to sort birthday presents and parties etc for two when they are bigger!

Tee4me · 05/08/2016 13:51

Oh Footy sorry, but I do love your fabulous positive attitude! I still believe you can't rule it out until witch is here.
Yes Rosie is my girls name, my DS would have been if he was a girl! So it's been number 1 for over 4 years. Rosie Charlotte (second name after my twin). Boy would be Jesse George. I get these things decided early, lol!
Lovely that everybody agrees it's a nice name! How funny if all those that eventually had girls went for it! Jasmine is lovely too actually, I could nick that if I had twin girls, I agree they sound lovely together. Do people call you Jas for short? You always have to think about how nice a name is when it's shortened too... I like soft names.
My twin had her scan on Weds, she is already 14wks 3days. She wants Wren for a girl and Milo for a boy!
Jem busy weekend ahead for you! Best to keep going, don't want to miss a potential opportunity. Next month I plan to DTD more in second half of the cycle, usually lose momentum by then, but could be missing a trick. My twin knows for a fact she conceived CD17, it was the only time that cycle!! Can you believe the luck of some???!
Will also have to get stricter with DH, really ease off the alcohol and perhaps get him to take a fertility supplement. He was on the high dose vit c Radders suggested this cycle, so hopefully that's helped. Am starting to feel crampy already tho.
Good luck Pepper, I'm also due next Weds.
Hello everybody else!! xx

Footy1 · 05/08/2016 16:10

Tee- lovely to hear from u. Only my dad & one friend shortens my name. Majority don't.
My friend named her girl Charlotte- lovely name too.
I like the name jesse, not really heard that one.

Just had a few twinges in my ovaries, started to worry that the spotting was a light AF and ovulation is approaching.?? Cant be? Would rather AF right now, as no dtd this week! Not sure what is going on. Will start the opks tomorrow if still no AF just incase. Think I need a drink.. Confused
