Another month, another period. I was due af yesterday but had no sign but today I've had brown tinged cm so she'll be here tomorrow.

Anyone else out for March already? Feel free to join in my misery lol

carlotta what's worrying me is that I have a lot of EWCM going on right now whereas I only had one very small blood streaked blob before on CD9. I think I might BD lots just in case - we coincidentally BD- last night anyway, will do again at least once today and once tomorrow.

On a positive note, DD just did her first poo on a potty so I'm feeling pretty positive about life!

Carlotta82248 · 02/04/2017 09:48

Yes definitely worth it @Justwaitingforaline cover all bases! It's confusing isn't it? I'd love to just 'fall pregnant' as a happy accident! Feeling utterly rubbish today and have (a very beautiful who I love lots) baby to see, I'm not sure I will be able to not cry!

Congrats to your daughter, clever little thing Halo

Justwaitingforaline · 02/04/2017 09:48

It's definitely a positive OPK, it's the same darkness as the control line Envy

April Bus: All aboard!
Justwaitingforaline · 02/04/2017 09:50

Carlotta I fell pregnant with DD with the ruddy coil in... it was a hell of a lot easier than this TTC malarkey!
Good luck with the baby visiting; I know how tough it is when you feel so sad x

boatrace30 · 02/04/2017 09:52

Carlotta I'm with you on hating the second part of the cycle :-(. I struggle to think about anything else!
Justwatiting unless you are temping and had a shift, you may have not ovulated on CD11, so BD'ing now a good idea!

Carlotta82248 · 02/04/2017 09:54

@Justwaitingforaline oh yes it definitely is! I'd guess OV or pregnant! Any hpt? X

Carlotta82248 · 02/04/2017 09:55

Love your organisation!

Justwaitingforaline · 02/04/2017 09:56

boat no temping over here, not quite ready to take the plunge into that. I'll get to it; my CM is much more fertile seeming that it was at CD11...how strange. Is this normal?

Justwaitingforaline · 02/04/2017 09:56

Carlotta thank god I'm hideously anal and kept testing!

Loopyaslola · 02/04/2017 10:02

Morning ladies

lime congrats!!

ifeel your line has definitely gotten darker. I'd say it's a positive Grin

carlotta how are you getting on? Cm looked promising.

StarWelcome newbies!Star

I've come to the conclusion this bleed Must have been af. Compared to the af two weeks before. It's been more of a flow and more red than the previous one so going by that and the fact it's about gone and cervix is now so high it's unreachable.

So I'm due 25th April. Bbs pains finally going now too. Was a mate never had such painful and tender bbs and cramping in one week.

Sorry if I've missed anyone out Smile

Aside from the waiting game hope you're all well xx

Forevertimes · 02/04/2017 10:04

Boatrace- no not yet, I suppose I better just in case. Thanks

ifeellikechickentonight · 02/04/2017 10:17

Feeling very positive after your comments and an article I read that said if there's any colour it can't be an evap. Pretty sure I see it as pink not grey. Crossing my fingers it gets stronger

carlotta I feel like the tests are so faint at this stage that a digi would say "not pregnant" but if I keep getting stronger pink dyes I'll definitely do one, if just to prove to DH I haven't completely lost the plot after days of squinting at painfully faint lines!

MotherofUnicorns · 02/04/2017 10:55

Morning all. carlotta I am with you! It's just boring and you can't get excited about anything. Too early to test and no symptoms here. I'm cd29 and 7dpo.
I think I'll test next weekend sometime if Af hasn't shown by then....

Bubblegum89 · 02/04/2017 11:36

Morning all.

Congrats on your bfp lime :)

I'm so confused, someone help me lol I'm 12dpo. Af due on Tuesday. Usually have symptoms from 1dpo the worst being super sore boobs. I got a positive OPK on 20th so should have ov'd on 21st. Then I got NO symptoms. Nothing at all. Yesterday morning though, so 11dpo, I noticed my boobs were a tiny bit tender. Nothing like they normally are but noticeably a bit sore on the sides. This morning when I've woke up, my boobs are even more sore. Again, not as bad as usual but still sore. I'm just a bit confused because I though that the closer you get to your period, the more your hormone levels that cause pms symptoms come down. Usually for me, my sore boobs and other symptoms are all but gone by now, definitely gone by 13dpo. So why am I only getting them now? I'm not having any other symptoms that I normally have as I still feel really good and energetic which is unheard of for me in the tww. Are there any reasons why this might be happening? I thought perhaps I didn't ovulate even though my body tried and so it attempted it again and so yesterday would have been 1dpo explaining why my boobs started hurting but I actually did a few OPK's, one on weds and again on Thursday. If I had ov'd on the Friday I would have had a positive OPK on one of those days but i didn't, I just had a faint test line.

Sorry for rambling, I can't find anything on google at all, please help me because I'm losing my mind lol

boatrace30 · 02/04/2017 12:55

bubble - Your post sounds exactly like what is going on in my head constantly during the 2ww!
Maybe this will be your month?

Bubblegum89 · 02/04/2017 13:03

It's really frustrating me now boatrace haha. I've seen people saying that if your tww symptoms don't go or get worse when af is due it's a good sign as it means you still have high levels of progesterone but I haven't had any symptoms to continue on lol they've come out of nowhere. I just don't know why :/ when is your af due?

juneybean · 02/04/2017 13:31

Can I join? I'm ovulating right now but we're actually waiting til the next cycle to try as we are going on honeymoon on 1st May and I'd sooner be 2 weeks pregnant than 7 weeks and in the throes of morning sickness.

I noticed someone mentioned BMI and my BMI is pretty high at 35 but I really struggle to think "it's best for the baby to lose weight" I can only do it if my head is in the right place but I'm going to try my best!

Forevertimes · 02/04/2017 13:50

BFN so I'm just sick! I had 5 different women at work ask me if I was pregnant today, when I said I wasn't feeling great. None of them know we are ttc. Back to waiting until AF is due then.

Forevertimes · 02/04/2017 14:00

Excuse the fluff- I dropped the test on the floor! Looks like I need to be focussing on keeping on top of the hoovering not DTD!!

April Bus: All aboard!
boatrace30 · 02/04/2017 14:36

Sorry for the bfn forever.
bubblegum, knowing when AF is due is hard as I'm irregular, my App thinks Wednesday. But getting period pains now. (I'm CD32) Pretty sure I ovulated on Friday as had positive opks on Thursday and a temp shift yesterday. So hoping AF holds off. If not it will confirm I have a short luteal phase (which I've had last two months).

Bubblegum89 · 02/04/2017 16:36

Oh that sucks boatface I'm very lucky that I've always has very regular 28-29 day cycles. I think I'm going to wait to until Thursday to test!

ifeellikechickentonight · 02/04/2017 17:01

Turns out those tests that I thought were too faint for my DPO were too faint for my DPO!
AF has just reared her ugly head so I guess it was a chemical pregnancy. Glad I didn't get my hopes up too much but I'm still gutted about the Christmas baby I'm not going to be having now!

Next AF due 29/4 so I'm sticking with you ladies on the April bus, good luck everyone

Loopyaslola · 02/04/2017 17:40

ifeel sorry to hear af reared her ugly head 😕
forever when is af due? They say your not out until she comes

Carlotta82248 · 02/04/2017 18:04

@ifeellikechickentonight I'm so sorry, sending you love and wine xxx

mrsb87 · 02/04/2017 18:09

Evening all, may I join you all at the back?
I'm new here, ttc #2, 1st cycle, 3dpo (I think!).
How is everyone this sunny day? Smile
