Hi @Navy123 I had started another thread about ovulation pains but no one answered. I'm on cd11 and had strong pains 8&9 and wondered if that was normal?

michelle I had strong pains on cd9, and a little bleed. I’m cd15 now and had 2 positive OPKs this morning and this afternoon. I got EWCM on cd12, 13 and today.

michelle I think it is - it is for me anyway! Mine were on cd12 this month which is fairly usual (I ov around cd19 usually). They've definitely got stronger since having my son - I rarely noticed them before.

Any fellow Gemini's on the bus... had a little chuckle when I read this.

There are other possibilities for the full moon. If you are hoping to become pregnant, you may be knitting baby booties during the week of March 20, plus or minus four days, for the house where this friendly full moon is shining also rules conception and birth.

Thanks @deathbycats and @Navy123

I usually ovulate around day 14 though flo app has me at 12. I'm 10 just now. Just did a clear blue opk and got a blank circle so I'm definitely not going to ovulate on day 12. Just as well as my partner is away tonight.

Thought my nipples are sore 🤷‍♀️

Honestly symptom spot bloody everything

Oh and today is CD8 and I normally ovulate in CD10, so we're busy busy atm. DTD last nite and again this evening... and they say God loves a trier 😜

Anyone else getting close to ovulation day?

Close to ovulation here Broodyaf. Had positive OPKs today so it should be happening tomorrow! Roll on the TWW (and being able to be more relaxed in the bedroom!)

Report
Broodyaf · 20/03/2019 20:26

Haha, "more relaxed" is one way of describing it... once I know I'm defo out of the fertile days the only thing happening in the bedroom is sleep and lots of it! 😂 it's a feast to a famine here 🙈😂

@Peachyx2505 I kinda did, but came home and have ate so much junk food 🤷‍♀️😫 where are you in ur cycle?xx

Report
Broodyaf · 20/03/2019 20:28

Oh - can someone clarify this for me please...

Are all OPKs the same? As in, when u get ur positive, do they ALL mean that ul be ovulating in the next 24-48 hours?

When u test every day and u get nearly positive, positive, back to nearly positive, so u know the middle one is the surge ... that doesn't mean that u have ovulated that day, doesn't it mean that you are about to??

I bet I've confused some of u now 😏

Past ovulation here but had ovulation like cramps yesterday and earlier so a little confused🤔 But dtd earlier and will for the next couple days incase ive ovulated later than i thought so weve covered all bases🙂 Im with u Broodyaf in the TWW all that happens is sleep🤣🤣

Report
deathbycats · 20/03/2019 21:18

😂 yes a lot more sleep happens! That’s why it’s relaxed. I feel no guilt in just going to bed to watch a bit of tv or just sleep.

@Broodyaf I'm on cycle day 3! Ages to go.... should ov around the 5th/6th AF due the 19th/20th based on a 32 day cycle. Hoping I have a shorter cycle this month though as I'm on night shifts just before and over ov!! I range from 29-32 days usually x

Morning ladies!

Anyone follow Mrs Hinch?
I'm hinching the bit out here to try and keep myself busy lol
Even she's pregnant so I can't even clean with our thinking of Baby Hinch 🤣

You have a while to go yet @Peachyx2505 before it's jiggy jiggy time! Lol
My cycle is only 24 days so I only have the TWW and AF days where it's just sleep 🙄

Must go and check my urine with an OPK 😏

Report
deathbycats · 21/03/2019 14:09

I follow her - Her bump is neater than mine will ever be Grin

Did another OPK this afternoon - negative so surge is over and tomorrow will be 1DPO for me! DTD yesterday and today, so I think that's this month's efforts over. No more POAS or checking my cervix every time I go to the loo for the next couple of weeks.

@deathbycats it's sleepy time for you now! 👌😂

I'd love to know how Mrs Hinch stays so thin and toned looking and bloody perfect wearing all the knitwear (which shows ever little lump!) when she doesn't eat healthy!
Did you see her 10year challenge? It's not as if she's naturally thin!

@lori2019 I'm a Gemini, fingers crossed it's right!

I'm on cd21 here so should be in the 2ww but I haven't used opk for quite a few months now as they make me more anxious. The downside is that I never know when we've done enough so have to keep on doing it right up to about cd25 to be sure. I've got no idea if I've ovulated this cycle as I didn't see any ewcm but I have a blood test to check as it's my first cycle on Clomid. Apparently Clomid can effect ewcm so who knows! All this waiting is so frustrating!

I'm a few dpo here too, not quite sure how many though! Ovia says af due on the 1st - I don't trust it but am going to try not to test until then if poss!
We are the same as others here - once that egg is gone beds are for sleeping only (with a bit of a sigh of relief 😂😂)

According to my app I'm in the fertile period, think I ovulate on Sunday/Monday. Haven't done any opk as I keep forgetting, remember as I go to bed and it's too late then.

Must remember this eve!

Bab1990 · 21/03/2019 19:05

@Navy123 My app says AF due the 1st also & will try hold out till then🙈 Hoping we start the nice line of BFPs for April🤞🏻🤞🏻

Navy123 · 21/03/2019 20:25

@Bab1990 🤞 for you as well! Pretty sure I'd think it was an April fool though! I hate the tww, it goes on for far far too long - why haven't we come up with some much earlier system yet?!
