Mrs that means our FWs are synced (currently assuming my ovulation day is tonorrow)

MrsC2017 · 15/02/2017 13:24

grumpy yes, we can be cycle buddies! I'll OPK later and that will tell me more I would say! I'll keep u updated and likewise, I'm Cd12 today!

confusedat23 · 15/02/2017 13:56

Thanks Jupiter... I am glad you are also feeling some syptoms too! (A bit personal? but where is your boob pain? Do you have any in your Areolas? I have never noticed them to be sensitive before Hmm

I need to remember to get a FRER out for tomorrow... I am feeling more hopeful as DTD last night normally brings AF on for me... and still no spotting this afternoon but got some stringey small bits of cream/yellowish EWCM still.

Mrs I would not expect you to OV tomorrow... maybe to get a +ve OPK but not OV... she will change it again just to annoy you! lol

OP posts:
MrsC2017 · 15/02/2017 14:01

confused totally, she moved it forward three times last cycle and I had to dtd for 9 days in a row, she won't catch me out like that again!Grin

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/02/2017 14:13

Mrs and confused my DH thinks he is getting non TTC sex later.. He still thinks I ovulated yesterday - I have no idea at this point and I'm not going to correct him because he'll definitely enjoy it more!

HeyJupiter · 15/02/2017 14:42

confused I just went to the toilets at work to feel my nipples so could answer your question Grin so my pain is definitely all nipple related. Areolas mildly sensitive but not any more than the rest of my boobs! Your cm sounds really hopeful - think yellow cm at this stage is an early sign of pregnancy. Mine is wet and creamy but that's identical to this time last month!

confusedat23 · 15/02/2017 14:43

Errghhh Mrs Sometimes I think about binning her off and just buying a dry wipe calender... seriously is she worth the stress? lol

I think it's a good idea not to tell him Grumpy... Just remember he needs to finish you off after him so you can suck the spermies into your womb Wink lol

confusedat23 · 15/02/2017 14:46

Jupiter I have found myself regularly going to the toilet to check my boobs at work at the moment lol... I haev also been trying to see if there is a change in colour or more bumps on my Areolas (Which I think there is) but I have not counted before to know loool...

hmmmm maybe concentrated nipple pain is good? I have never noticed nipple pain before AF in other cycles... have you?

Also my CM was really like milky this time last month... I was hoping Yellow EWCM was an indicator but not sure if related to dtd last night

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/02/2017 14:54

Confused we don't normally do it in that order but we did last night Blush sorry TMI but I couldn't relax until he had "delivered the goods" Grin

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/02/2017 14:57

In other news.. the AF style backache is back.. and pelvic pain..! now I'm wondering if I'm literally imagining it all!

HeyJupiter · 15/02/2017 15:17

Confused I've definitely had nipple pain before so not necessarily a hopeful sign but had no pain at all last month.. it's just so changeable. Have noticed a few AF type cramps in last few hours but won't give up hope entirely until AF comes. Are your areolas darker? Mine aren't but think that's an early preg sign!

Grumpy it's so easy to think you're imagining it but am sure you aren't. The amount of pelvic and tummy pains I've noticed since TTC though is mad - I assume it was always there but never noticed it before!

Mummyme87 · 15/02/2017 15:39

I think I was feeling a bit period like this afternoon it's all in my head not having any cm at all... unsure in previous months I was getting creamy cm. who bloody knows

Cleaner has been today. So nice after she has been.

Tigger83 · 15/02/2017 15:52

Sorry I haven't had a chance to read through everything yet but I do have some news my oh asked me to marry him!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/02/2017 16:00

Wow tigger that's amazing!!! Congratulations Wine

Mummyme87 · 15/02/2017 16:03

Fab news tigger congratulations

buzzmoon · 15/02/2017 16:18

congrats tigger!! How did he ask? Yay! Exciting! ❤️

confusedat23 · 15/02/2017 16:25

OMFG!!!! TIGGER BEST NEWS EVER!!!! WineWineWineWineWineWineWineWineWineWineWine

How did he do it? I love a proposal!!!!

Grumpy I understand... I also really struggled during FW to finish! DH likes it the other way around but I keep telling him the spermies need some help to the top! lol Also first OV post pill for me was really painful but now I don't feel anything!

Jupiter when are you officially due AF? I think they may be a bit darker but not sure if I am imagining it??? lol

Mummy it is normal to dry up 3-4 days after OV for a few days...then start getting CM again

OP posts:
HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 15/02/2017 17:12

Massive congratulations Tigger - details please! Can we have a ring pic? I love a proposal too!!!

Mummy - just saw your post re the cleaner. Have you seen the thread on things not to do before cleaner comes - it's a howler!! Must read!

MrsC2017 · 15/02/2017 17:18

Omg tigger amazing news!!! Huge congratulations!!! Enjoy all the celebrations!!
WineFlowersGrin

MrsC2017 · 15/02/2017 17:19

Negative ov test and ovia has lost her shit dunno what's going on so ignoring her for the next few days and will keep OPKing!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/02/2017 17:26

Parsnips link to the thread? I need a new cleaner actually but have to wait until the building works are done.

Mrs that's annoying. I'm getting only faint lines in the afternoon / evening but the morning ones (early but not FMU..) appear to be getting darker every day, I think I'm one of those people that doesn't make a lot of LH so the OPKs are struggling to show a line any later in the day. In fact I'm counting this morning's as a positive as the lines were pretty much equivalent (unless tomorrow's is even darker - if it's lighter then I'll know today's was indeed the positive).

HeyJupiter · 15/02/2017 18:09

Congratulations Tigger!!! I"m so happy for you both. Did he propose under the northern lights? That would be so romantic. You'll have a baby and a wedding to plan now. Sounds like heaven.

confused because I ovulated early I assume AF will come on Saturday, but my luteal phase does tend to be 14/15 days so might be later at the weekend. Full on pre-AF cramps this end but am feeling okay about it. What will be will be and not out yet. Just had a lovely chat with DH about it, and he was so reassuring.

So exciting reading about the OPK-ing and thinking about who will be next for testing. Sending loads of good luck to you confused for tomorrow morning, I think all your symptoms seem really positive yay.

HeyJupiter · 15/02/2017 18:10

MrsC ignore ovia, she would have ballsed up my supposed 'fertile week' last month if I wasn't being so vigilant wth the OPK-ing and things.

DH and I have decided that if it hasn't happened this month we are going to DTD every other day next month from day 8-18 and be a bit more chilled about it.

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 15/02/2017 18:18

To ask everyone with a cleaner to read this!
http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/2855230-To-ask-everyone-with-a-cleaner-to-read-this

Hopefully this works!

confusedat23 · 15/02/2017 19:01

Ergh i had chinese for dinner and it has not sat well in my stomach! Sad

Mrs how long is your cycle? Mine are normally 28 days but i seem to ov later than average at (normally) CD16... so you could always be a late ov'er?

Awhh thanks Jupiter... i have fingers and toes crossed for you tomorrow!!... what are you gonna do if BFN and no af before you go away for the weekend... would you wait till Monday to test?

I still can't believe there is nothing going on with knicker watch my end! I'm cd28 and (i know i ov'd late) but AF has just never been late!

Although i had read stalked too many threads on MN saying the same thing and still being a BFN in the end!

Anybody else find it scary that they could actually get pregnant soon?
