So confusing @Cocobana - you do get more cm when your preg too tho - has a faint line on OPK so hopefully it will be darker tomorrow so if I is tomorrow it will be CD24!! @Charl28 DC1 is darling/dear Child 1 -are you TTC your first child?
This is my 3rd Cycle but still waiting to ovulate!!
In the meantime I'm concentrating on losing weight! Need something else to concentrate on - had a good gym yesterday but then my DH wanted curry for dinner-, I only have half a portion and as i burned more calories than I ate for breakfast and lunch I was still under my calorie goal! I've lost enough to be in healthy range BMI but my next goal is to lose 9 more lbs then my goal weight will be 5 lbs less than that!
@Scarletrose18 And @Cocobana - hope you both join @PastaSauceHoarder and get your BFP soon are you both waiting til the weekend to test?

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 08:23

@cocobana Confused dot com 🤯🤪

I get ewcm at random times throughout cycle and then loads before ov then creamier after ov, but that seems to be normal for me, if its not normal for you in your cycles then im really not sure.

If it makes you feel better, I think u did ovulate originally when you thought because I think the ewcm is normally clear for ovulation (maybe I made that up though im not sure, best to google and double check lol) So if its creamy... could it be a great sign of things having happened at original ovulation? 🙂 What date was your most positive surge?
Either way dtd is prob best just to cover all bases. xo

You are so determined @mummyb well done on your weight loss, im terrible, I was trying to be good then came across some creme eggs 😂🤣😂 Thats a huge amount to have lost!! A good bmi means better fertility too!

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 08:29

@charl28 Yes it means is this your first child. I didnt know any of the lingo either at the start... you will pick it up 🙂

@pasta That was iff of pinterest, its full of great charts and things. (And baby name ideas, preg announcement ideas etc) Have you tried it?

Thanks @MummyBearBoo I’m only 4dp what I thought was ovulation today. Oh that great yay! Your surge is building up, I bet that +opk will be any time now. That’s such a long time to wait, hopefully not much longer now for you!! Me and you are both on our third cycles so let’s hope it third time lucky for us this cycle. You’re doing amazing with your fitness, well done as it’s hard. I have been good some days and not other days so I def need to take a leaf out of your book!

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 08:39

@Scarletrose18 haha I’m liking that .com and that’s def it. How are you today? Any symptoms for you because you’re 9dpo today is that right? You’re right in the timeframe for implantation ✨✨✨✨✨

Yeah it’s not normal for me, I usually get very little after ovulation and had two dry days then it was alot of ewcm and really stretchy (sorry again for gross tmi) but like a creamy colour. It was more than I get on my fertile window usually so abit strange. I’m pleased I’ve DTD just incase it was some sort of delayed ovulation. I only took 3 opks on cd15,16 and 17 as that’s all I had left, it was almost positive cd15, positive cd16 and dh confirmed he thought it was sightly fainter on dc17. I’ll still take my original date for ovulation and just go with that. I’m still crampy today so this really is a weird month as too early for implantation nevermind pregnancy symptoms so from what I was reading it could be the egg delayed, apparently you can get a surge and for what ever reason the egg can get delayed and be released later. I’ve DTD just incase, I’ll see what happens today.

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 08:53

Says here you can implant a few days after ovulation!
Do you have a home bargins near you? Its only a few pounds for a pack of their opks and you could test to see what it says?

Im ok, I tested first thing this morning, I couldnt help it 🙈
I did 2 because I have so many, one of the free ones and one we bought, I can see the tiniest lightest not really there at all but there just a tiny bit on one test. 🤣 But its so light I think im imagining it and only at a certain angle... like as im typing right now I think I made up the line in my head 😂😂 😂 We shall see tomorrow.

Ooh @Scarletrose18!! Can you take a photo and invert the colours?

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 09:03

@Scarletrose18 wow that’s amazing!! 😃 Do you have a picture of it? This tests are so good they don’t get evap lines!! Omg keep testing every day!! I’m getting excited for you! ✨✨✨✨✨✨

thanks you’re right I need to test. I’m doing to see if there’s a Poundland/home bargains near me. I feel really crampy like I could swear I’m going to get AF which obviously would be too far too early! This isn’t normal for me 4dpo if it is 4 dpo!

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 09:10

First thing I did was take a pic 😂 It wont show up on a picture and im not really sure it even exists 😳 I looked again and can only see it if i tilt it away from me and then im wondering because im expecting to see it so much and staring so long am I imagining it. @pasta I think I am

It wasnt the ones we bought, it was the free one that i see it on @coco So they could have evap lines.... whhhyyy did I test early lol. Will just have to wait until AM.
Yes defo try an opk but u could have increased cm because of a hormone your body is releasing because of early preg too!? I feel for you, just when you think you know whats going on, this happens to you.

PastaSauceHoarder · 24/01/2019 09:23

Thats exactly how my first one looked @Scarletrose18, only the tiniest pink smudge on the test that I could only see if I held it up to the window and tilted it! 😂

Sounds promising!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 09:38

@Scarletrose18 the fact there’s even a line when you tilt is a good sign, of it’s evap it would be a white shiny indent or gray. Like @pasta I reckon this is very positive. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. First thing tomorrow test again. Be great if you joined @pasta, 😃👍🏼✨✨✨✨✨

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 09:41

I’ll def pick up tests today, when I’ve looked it up it turns out there’s a Poundland near and they do 5 opk strips for £1. I’m going to go today because it driving me crazy....😆

Scarletrose18 · 24/01/2019 11:55

Sorry guys at work.... the more I think about it the more I think I imagined it. Lol. I looked just before I left and there was no line.... maybe was an indent

Thank you @pasta 🙂

Will see what tomorrows test is like.

Thats great @coco Let us know what it says!

OP posts:
Cocobana · 24/01/2019 12:38

@scarletrose18 you could try taking another tomorrow morning. It’s prob just abit early, any sort of line a good sign though I reckon. Yes I’ve been to shops and got back and tested and it was negative so I’m def not ovulating. At least that puts my mind at rest, now I will just have to wait and see, it seems ages. Hope work goes over fast for you 👍🏼😃

Charl28 · 24/01/2019 13:21

I thought I may have experienced implantation bleeding - 5 days before I was due I experienced some brown discharge (only when I wiped) sorry for the tmi!
I’m CD 39, 19dpo and 5 days late today - tests just keep saying negative! St what point do I just believe it 😓
Have had waves of sickness so far today, very gassy and bloated still too!
Xxx

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 13:42

Hi gals! Oh @Scarletrose18 I'm excited to hear what the crack is tomo morn! U never no babes!

Hi @Charl28 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 how are u, I need to read back the messages properly.... ❤️

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 13:43

@Charl28 oh no that must be so frustrating. Are your cycles normally regular and the same length? If so you could maybe ask the gp for a blood test as it’ll show up there if you are. x ✌🏻

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 13:44

Hi @Mfbroome how are you today? Any symptoms in your TWW?

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 13:44

@Charl28 maybe it's just not coming up on a home preg test or u haven't quite got enough of the hormone there yet. I read something the other day saying that once you've gone over the most days you've ever been late it's worth visiting the dr? Does that make sense? So like it it was 38 days is your maximum once you get to that then go get bloods done :) hope your okay, it's so frustrating when you just don't know what's going on 😘

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 13:47

@Cocobana you guys have a had right old natter I need to catch up 😂😂 I can't remember
what my questions were before lol... doh.
I am feeling fine lol no symptoms at all --- again! I don't know why but I'm not running to test either?! What is wrong with me lol.
What's the latest I kind of scanned and saw something about u feeling like you ovulated again?

Cocobana · 24/01/2019 13:55

@Mfbroome haha we have been I know once we get chatting it can be hard to catch up 🤣 Well no symptoms can be a good things, i hear that loads of people don’t get any until much later on. How many dpo are you today? Would it be too early to test? Yeah I was getting some symptoms and felt like I was ovulating again because it’s far too early for implantation, it was so confusing. I ran out to the shops like a crazy woman to get some opks 🤣because I’d ran out of my online order ones and tested today and negative. I feel really crampy and it feels like pms almost it’s strange. I’m only 4dpo today.

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 14:01

Well u never know @Cocobana it could be the start of something! Doesn't mean because ur only 4dpo something's not going on in there 😉
Wink wink lol
Tbh my 1st cycle I had what I thought was another ovulation - all the symptoms!? U probably won't remember as it was back in November but I wasn't using opks then so I couldn't really tell - which totally threw me off lol! I don't know what it was but same symptoms as u? I guess it's where we are so in tune with our bodies now we notice everything?! Hope for not too uncomfy with the cramping :(

I'm 8dpo today :) I don't think I will test anything soon?! I'm so sick of bfn's I just cba to feel let down again lol x

Charl28 · 24/01/2019 14:09

Hi @Mfbroome 😊how are you?
I am hoping so - my last cycle was 33 days and I know deep down I’m probably just clinging on for hope but aren’t we all 😓
I have an appointment booked for next Wednesday (so hard to get into my doctors) that takes me to 11 days late - unless AF turns up which I so hope it doesn’t.
I feel like I have so many questions but it’s so hard because everyone is so different aren’t they!
You’re all just so kind and caring though thank you ❤️ Xxx

Mfbroome · 24/01/2019 14:14

Yes I'm absolutely fine! I'm 8 days past my ovulation day (8dpo) my AF is due on 2nd Feb :) this is my 3rd cycle ttc number 3 our last and final baby :much harder this time around lol not sure why! I'm certainly the fittest I've ever been - maybe I'm just getting old 😀😀🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh that's great that u have a Drs apt! Something to work towards, are you going to keep testing until then?
Sorry I missed if u said you were regular or not or have u just come off of birth control? Xx
