@Goldilocks thanx but looks like im out already started gettin cramps this morning followed by bleeding looks like start of af 10days early!@BDFT fx for u hun x when r u gonna start testing?

BDFT · 15/04/2018 17:35

@thisisouryearfx oh no! Could it be implantation bleeding as it's 10 days before your expect af?! Keeping my fx for you!

I'm not going to test until af is late. I think I have a short lp so not much point in testing before then!
Still no symptoms and feeling a little low low today which lines up with the start of last month's pmt so pretty convinced I'm out this month.

@Thisisouryrfx18 we all have days like this. Trying and failing to conceive is torture. Some people are lucky and it happens first time and others have to keep going until it happens. One way or another x

lolacola13 · 15/04/2018 18:25

@thisisouryrfx18 that's very early to be getting af... how long is ur usual luteal phase and what was ov date ? Usually luteal phase doesn't change so u must have ovulated early if Af is here?? Sending big hugs. It's a shitty journey this isn't it xxxxx

@Help201602 Thanx for reminding me im not the only one, other ppl worse of than me i know but just feeling very emotional atm doesnt help that we had a death in the family recently..@lolacola13 i dnt know ive not been charting stupid i know but we ve been having sex every other day and ive been using opks (dnt think ive had a positive one yet tho)to cover all bases. Just felt like it was something else for me to overly obsess about but im goin to start after af fucks off lol

Do any of yous girls know the cheapest place to buy clearblue opks or know of any deals on them atm x❤

thisisouryrfx18 I know it sounds odd but I snapped up mine from Waitrose as they were a full £3 cheaper than anywhere else. Hopefully that's not just regionally though (in Essex here). Could you track your temp? I've seen on here some people don't ever get positive OPKs yet they are ovulating

DaisyMay25 · 16/04/2018 08:58

@thisisouryrfx18 groupon sometimes have them on offer

Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 09:06

Is it bad I wanna buy these just cos they're in offer? Even though I'm pregnant!!! 😂🙈

MumofBoysx2 · 16/04/2018 09:07

I am convinced my method worked :-) Having ttc for a couple of years, and tests coming back clear (so no obvious reason why not), I read an article about an ingredient in some cough syrups called Guaifenesin which can help. I had already made my own deductions that the whispers mucus had got too thick and was hostile to sperm. This ingredient thins the mucus so the little swimmers have more of a chance. It worked for me! I was glugging it every morning and every evening (plus ovulation predictor tests). Good luck!

Haha @Cakelaur I think you're just a poas addict like me!!

italianwifey · 16/04/2018 10:56

Hi all... my madness is reaching new levels this morning... 6dpo and overlaying my temp charts and it's much higher than this time last month... could it be a good sign??? Does anyone know if you always get an implantation dip in temp?

Original poster
thisisouryrfx18 · 16/04/2018 11:02

Hi! @italianwifey im not sure ask @Cakelaur shes a charting expert lol i think a rise in temp is a promising sign tho.. Welcome to all the other newbies btw gd to c new ppl it was gettin empty over here after all the bfps lol ❤

OP posts:
Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 11:41

@italianwifey you don't always get Implantation dip. Some people do, some people don't. I think I did this time but at 12dpo and I had IB. I'd be more than happy to take a look at your chart.

italianwifey · 16/04/2018 12:08

Thanks @Cakelaur ! Its only gone very slightly higher but does look higher than this time last month - I'm hoping at the least it means the progesterone this month is better?! I'm also only 6dpo so think I'm far too early to be symptom spotting haha... it's so hard not to obsess! Have made myself not buy any tests this month and will get one if AF doesn't arrive... here is my chart with the overlay from last month anyway, always interesting to hear what others think!!
