confused we can totally get through this cycle together! I am considering testing on the 16th as have a day off work and would be good to get the hope over and done with rather than waiting for AF. I know that sounds silly. But definitely not before the 16th!! Not sure what the EWCM is about, but have heard that abundant CM after ovulation is a good sign!! You never know..eeek.

buzz so you're going to test on saturday? Wow, fingers crossed!

Ovia told me that my symptoms today were in keeping with PMS - certainly hope not on cycle day 15!!

buzzmoon · 08/02/2017 21:24

I think I'm going to wait as long as I can see if AF arrives

Mummyme87 · 08/02/2017 21:31

Weigh in tonight - 2.5lb off, 12.5lb in total. Pulling it back... slowly.

I've had more brown EWCM. Wierd.

DancingUnicorn · 08/02/2017 21:32

Mummy thanks for the book recommendation! Definitely not already a significant way through it!

Good luck with the waiting everyone! Fx for a huge run of bfps!

DancingUnicorn · 08/02/2017 21:33

Oo, well done on the weight loss! :)

buzzmoon · 08/02/2017 21:36

Well done on the weight loss! 👏🏼

How are you dancing?

confusedat23 · 08/02/2017 21:38

I think DH has something planned for Valentines but i don't know what it is he is bwing very secretivehe is not very enthusiastic unless it involves his computer

Jupiter we can test together on 16th if you want? I am happy to do that! I could use waste an IC wishfully thinking i wont need them anymore

Buzz isn't Seven testing this weekend also? Sorry i am struggling to keep up atm lol

Mummy could it be ov bleeding? I had a bit of a brown streak in my EWCM just after +OPK

Ooooooo what is this book?... glad to see you are sticking around Dancing how are you feeling?

confusedat23 · 08/02/2017 21:39

HeyJupiter · 08/02/2017 21:43

Confused sounds like a plan! Lets do it..

Mummy well done on the weight loss, that's fantastic. Maybe the brown spotting is ovulation bleeding?

Seven are you testing this weekend?

buzzmoon · 08/02/2017 21:46

Is grumpy testing this weekend?

DancingUnicorn · 08/02/2017 21:48

Confused book is how to grow a baby - pic earlier today! I'm struggling to keep up with you all!

Feeling ok... not a lot happening really! Still seems completely unreal. Feels like it was aaaages ago when I found out, so apologies, but all the waiting doesn't disappear once the bfp comes! Now just waiting for different things!

Good luck with the testing! Fx!!

Oysterbabe · 08/02/2017 21:55

I remember getting my bfp and thinking that the 2ww is nothing in comparison to the 8ww before the first scan.

Mummyme87 · 08/02/2017 22:02

Brown EWCM must be something to do with impending ovulation.. new symptoms to throw me!

confusedat23 · 08/02/2017 22:12

Ahhh i just started googling about whiteish yellow bits of ewcm in tww... its so hard bot to get your hopes up!... and for the first time ever my cervix is so high i cannot reach it!!

Ooo glad its going well Dancing!... i will have to buy that book immediately

Oyster i am dreading all the waiting during pregnancy... especially the first trimester waiting!!

OP posts:
Mummyme87 · 08/02/2017 22:34

So EWCM is now clear and fair amount of it. Expecting peak tomorrow on CB OPK... we will see.
Goodnight ladies

TheGrumpySquirrel · 08/02/2017 22:47

Hey ladies I am v tipsy after work night out oops! I am due to enter fertile week soon so won't be testing anytime soon

My female peers in my industry agree now is the ideal time to make a baby

TheGrumpySquirrel · 08/02/2017 22:47

White wine is the devil

TheGrumpySquirrel · 08/02/2017 22:49

Geez so drunk ..

MrsC2017 · 08/02/2017 23:04

grumpy good for you girl! Hope you had a fun night!.
mummy eek sounds positive, enjoy the next few days! Wink

HbH04 · 08/02/2017 23:35

Lol grumpy sounds like a good night was had! 🍹

red saw you on the parking thread... So hilarious!

buzzmoon · 09/02/2017 07:02

grumpy hope you had a fun night and are not feeling it too much now!

BBT has dropped this morning, Ovia said this is AF on her way 😔

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 09/02/2017 07:24

AF has come to town - officially CD1

Hopefully this will not be the period from hell after three years! But at least it looks like things doing back to normal!

xlaura · 09/02/2017 07:31

Parsnips congrats for af finally making an appearance. How long was you waiting in the end? I dread the wait for af to show up for me..fx it goes back to normal altho judging by everybody else's experience I very much doubt it!

HeyJupiter · 09/02/2017 07:37

buzz remember that Ovia talks nonsense most of the time. Don't completely believe her today either. You're not out til you're out. BBT tracking can be really inaccurate as well sometimes.

Grumpy hope you had an amazing time last night - if and when AF comes this month I'm going out drinking, need to not be completely sober for once.

parnsips Great news! Officially CD1 and everything sounds like it's back in working order :)

mummy fingers crossed for your peak today!

So 5DPO here and feeling very un-pregnant... but then I suppose I would be feeling that way as implantation wouldn't have even happened yet. I know a bit early for CM chat but mine is non-existent today and ovia has told me this is very unusual and I must be checking wrong. Agh!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 09/02/2017 07:38

Omg white wine is the devil. I'm actually having a bath now to try and recover enough to face going to work!!

On the positive side I've lost 2.2kg since new year (been fluctuating around -2kg for a few weeks and finally broken the plateau)

Congrats on AF appearing parsnips and sorry buzz Flowers
